Awwww man. I was hoping they would keep the stats page away from the game. I really liked that they didnt even show KD in the game.

Pretty sure you are in a small minority on this one.

If it's anything like the last game, stats will be its own thing and scores during the game won't change what's displayed. I think it's real nice that they don't show deaths - keeps people focused on playing the mode instead of k/d farming.

I would love to buy certain nose arts and skins with credits so I can completely ignore this terrible grind.
There is no absolute truth, except for maybe sometging derived from Respawns trove of match data.

people are getting free content, maps and abilities and still are complaining about irrelevant paid colors and skins
I would actually purchase this now
By complaining you mean discussing something with some of the comments being things you don't potentially agree with? Gotcha.
And you can't hang free content over people's heads like that wasn't part of Respawn's pitch to try and entice people to buy a $60 launch product that's already cratered to less than $30. If I buy a product partly because of a great warranty policy, using that policy later isn't the company doing me a favor.

Pretty much. I would rather have this than map packs that split an already small community.

I agree buying skins with credit would be good especially for people like me who have nothing to buy with credits. Even if it was a high amount, that would reward only your more active and loyal players although then we'd for sure hear about how bad it was to "grind" for skins. That's probably why they didn't bother

Agreed. But I'll just buy the Prime Titans à la carte. Those are the things that are exclusive right? The other stuff was more of an early access thing?
Edit: Oh, the warpaints too. Those don't look super exciting. But would consider the Deluxe upgrade were it available.
That tease! C'mon you should know better than to drop that without a timeframe. Need...notes....NOW!

Sure, but these are ultimately skins and non gameplay content. They have to make their money through microtransactions, and theyre making a lot of content (seemingly) that is free and gameplay impacting
Why do people feel entitled to cosmetic dlc? I dont understand that. It doesnt hurt you at all and allows them to justify the free content which is undoubtedly the important stuff
Not even close, but go on...

They need to grab some extra cash elsewhere because of free dlc. If they do allow some with credits, it should be high priced so you really have to choose wisely. Ive already unlocked most of what i want and i suppose people are going to start stockpiling credits soon.
I'm sure it's on your end
Did you check your own network settings? The game has been running flawlessly for most people.

Another glitch: Whenever I open the camo page on Xbox, the game freezes for 20 seconds.
You know, I've never seen that indicator before :|
Well they shouldn't try and make it sound like they're doing us a favour by not allowing us to buy stuff with credits. Why exactly should they not let the people that play the game loads and loads buy the occasional Titan skin with some credits they have no use of anymore?
Who claimed they are entitled to it? Even if someone did, there's no ironclad argument that cosmetics aren't a part of the game. Why do people care about art styles? Why are there a million shitty camos in the game right now? Why do people want to customize their characters? Pretending that stuff is somehow distinct and orthogonal from the "game" is silly. It's just an argument that's gained traction from people trying to explain why it's okay to charge for certain types of DLC.
Again, I said in my post I liked the way they were going about things. That said, the reason you won't be able to buy new stuff with credits is Respawn wants money. It's not some scathing criticism to say so.
First regen! Wooo!
I'm gonna switch to the alternator.
Last time I tried playing BF1, I tried to run on a wall...

thats something with your connection
I've played nearly every shooter this year and this is the only game that won't let me in to a single match without freezing.
It ain't. "Known issue" on Titanfall forums amongst others. Every other multiplayer game plays flawlessly for me.
That can get real gross real fast though. Once there's any sort of conversion, how do you not automatically think "oh; so an hour of my time is worth $X to you, huh?".
I don't (personally) think it's an automatically-bad idea, but I'd be really really cautious. Credits are "pure" right now, but once it becomes "I could unlock the Flatline! ...or save up more for this $2 hat... and I don't want to be a sucker..." a lot of warning lights go up in my head.
These are all cosmetics; remember. Would be a much different conversation if this was gating-off access to gameplay. Because ewe.
Holiday retailer sales are not the game "cratering". Hold your fire.

I guess the suspicions of post-launch microtransactions were correct. A shame, but I suppose no AAA games can exist without some form of post-launch monetization anymore.
Also, no talk of whether Respawn is planning on bringing back more R1 maps. Hopefully if the reception to Angel City is positive they'll make that happen.
Too soon, man.. Too soon.
still probably going to give the game a rest until SLI support is in, which I'd imagine is in nvidia's hands by now. But I'd love to see them encourage some more variety in titans and weapons...too much SMG, not enough EPG-1.
Got boned for early access to the new map anyways. I went with Greenman this time since they listed EA as an official key provider, but they took away the preorder bonus from the store description when nobody was looking.

I think we can all agree this is a good model and they deserve that cosmetic $$$ for this great game

If you're insinuating that cod this gen runs flawlessly and you never had issues with rainbow six either then I'm afraid I can't believe anything you say.
Tf2 is hands down the best servers of this gen. Switch servers .
There was no way they could live off just game sales when they were supporting the game that well otherwise. They need a way to bring in revenue.
