Assassin’s Creed fans hit Valhalla’s “extremely expensive” microtransactions • Eurogamer.net

Assassin’s Creed fans approached developer Ubisoft for having as many armor sets in its premium store as in the ‘whole base game’, available ‘only to people who are willing to spend money on extremely expensive microtransactions’.

In a reddit post that Ubisoft blew up, a Valhalla fan believes that the developer “just keeps adding ridiculous shit to the microtransaction store, just milking the whales of their money with content that is only a very small percentage players will really be able to enjoy “.

The report – which has been nominated more than 5,000 times – adds that although it is ‘cosmetic good’, it ‘actually has an impact on the game and that in some cases it is quite dominated’.

“There are 9 weapons available that you can purchase through normal play and carry in the base game,” u / Zuazzer wrote. ‘It does not include the Vinland outfits (which are only exclusive to a very small area of ​​the game), the useless standard tunic you start with, the legendary Bayek outfit available with the Uplay rewards system (which is a equipment is, not an armor) set) or the armor available by purchasing Amazon Prime. Of course, it also does not include the weekly selection of items from the microtransaction store that you can buy at the retailer Reda in the game.

“Our other players, even those among us who have spent more than a hundred dollars on the collector’s issue, have received very little content over the past few months. Like everything we really got, it’s a nice but kind of flawed event, and a clog bugfixes.

‘Why does not everyone talk about this? Only a few years ago, people would have gone to hell if a gaming company had shit like that. It’s not good, especially not for a game that costs sixty damn dollars. ‘

Commentators in the thread reflect the two previous episodes of the series, Origins and Odyssey, but the issue seems to be more serious this time around and draws unflattering comparisons to Middle Earth: Shadow of War, which was eventually forced to remove all microtransactions altogether. .

So far, Ubisoft has not responded to the thread and has not commented publicly on the issue.

ICYMI, Ubisoft recently released a major bug squashing update for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. The game’s 1.1.1 update is light on new features, but heavy on solutions, with dozens of common issues turned off.

Among those who noticed Tom in a quick scan through his very long patch notes are solutions to the mistake many people experienced, who saw that they were permanently trapped in their Halloween-weary Mari Lwyd disguise, even after they completed the quest. The performance of Ubisoft Connect has also been determined and should unlock correctly the next time you perform any performance-related action beyond the unlock state.
