This is a joke. I'll be contacting EA support for a refund... I can't even playing f***ing Darth Vader?!?!? Disgusting. This age of "micro-transactions" has gone WAY too far. Leave it to EA though to stretch the boundaries.

The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different heroes.

As for cost, we selected initial values based upon data from the Open Beta and other adjustments made to milestone rewards before launch. Among other things, we're looking at average per-player credit earn rates on a daily basis, and we'll be making constant adjustments to ensure that players have challenges that are compelling, rewarding, and of course attainable via gameplay.

We appreciate the candid feedback, and the passion the community has put forth around the current topics here on Reddit, our forums and across numerous social media outlets.

Our team will continue to make changes and monitor community feedback and update everyone as soon and as often as we can.

Lol I've been watching this. EA Deserves all the crap their getting.

They're supposed to do an AMA on reddit tomorrow, which will probably fail in hilarious fashion. So watch out for that.

I wonder if Burger King wants to sell me a sense of pride and accomplishment by making me work 10 hours for my ****ing fries.

That's a good response...for internet points. But it doesn't make any sense.

Burger King doesn't 'make you' do anything for fries, they ask you for something. If they asked you to work for 10 hours for some fries, you could say no. Nobody is holding a gun to anybody's head forcing them to work for fries or buy a video game.

Another entitled dumbass that can't seem to research anything before preordering/buying a video game. "I paid lots of money and not everything i think i deserve is in it!". What a mindset.

EA slashed the in game currency costs for most heroes by up to 75% in response to this. Prior to that, it took more than 12 hours each to unlock the top tier heroes and THAT'S down from the 40+ hours per that it was during the beta. That's pretty ****ing crazy.

EA is pushing the micotransaction boundary as far they can at every chance. The only way to stop this terrible trend in gaming is to push back through bad press and not buying those games.

DId the pre-order folks get the game really early or something? I thought the game comes out on Friday Nov 17.

If you have EA Access you could start playing a time limited early trial this past weekend.

Loot boxes that affect competitive balance are not. Putting characters behind what is essentially a paywall for the majority of players is not ok.

Developers are supposed to create complete games for a reasonable price, and then charge for the extras not needed for the game, but nice to have for those that would pay for it.

Now they are ****ting out incomplete games for full price and forcing you to pay for the pieces they took out.

Says who? You don't have to buy the game if you feel it is incomplete.

I get the complaints for the most part but sheesh. You'd think EA killed their dogs or something. Reddit has become such a group-think circle jerk these days.

---

You realize EA has been named as the worst company in America multiple times and that was years ago (2012 and 2013), right? That's on top of also being one of the worst companies to work for.

None of this is new behavior for a company known for being antagonist towards consumers and leading the charge in almost every ****ty trend in gaming.

They pushed the envelope yet again and people finally pushed back.

Yeah I know they've been bashed almost as bad as Comcast has over the years. I just find it interesting that the most downvoted comment in the history of Reddit (and by a wide margin) is over a company's response to video game criticism.

Update: Ars hadn't checked some of the in-game reward amounts before EA announced this credit requirement, but outlets like Game Informer confirmed something pretty dubious. EA actually reduced the amount of credits that can be earned from playing the single-player campaign by a whopping 75 percent. That's the same percentage drop applied to the cost of heroes like Luke and Vader. Total unlocking speed may have increased slightly, in terms of how credits are earned across the entire game, but this makes EA's promise of change a little harder to swallow.]
