(PSN)LoisGordils Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 While they're not bad by all means, it feels a bit sour to, as a player that always has the 90-day affinity and credit boosters from Prime Access to get an Affinity/Credit booster from Sorties. I'm not suggesting you change them. Rather, if you have X booster on and you get Y booster from Sorties, their effects would stack. However, each one would have their own separate duration. So, suppose you have one day left on X booster and you get a three day Y booster from Sorties, the XY buff would only last as long as the X is still present. So, you would really have one day of XY booster stacking (4x Affinity for example). Once the day passes, it would revert to Y booster's effect (2x Affinity). If you have a 90 day X booster, your XY effect would only last as long as the Y booster (three days) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrijeuj Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Yeah, it has been pointed out a few times already and I don't get why it's still not working this way. I never bought a Prime Access myself, and might never buy one, but I feel that, by doing this, they're not rewarding paying customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cazzzz Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 It's not the worst reward, but I do agree that something needs to be done about it. As someone who does pay for boosters on the occasion, it's kinda a kick in the pants to just get a little '3-day extension'. If the boosters were maybe week-long, that would make a lot more since, especially since they are relatively uncommon rewards. I maybe get one every two weeks or so, from my luck.

(PSN)KingGuy420 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Making them stack to a higher multiplier would mean paying players would have benefits that free players don't have access too. That's literally the definition of pay 2 win (I know there's no "win" but that's not the point) which just isn't cool. Pay 2 win has no place outside of mobile games. That's a slippery slope that I don't think we want to get on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a slippery slope that I don't think we want to get on. Who would have thought that someone that pays money has better benefits than someone that plays for free. Mind blowing. Right now, I, a paying player, have access to three months worth of double Affinity and Credits. Free players don't have access to that. I don't see people complaining about that. Same principle applies to this thread :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same principle applies to this thread :] That's different, the length it lasts has 0 bearing on the game. You have access to 2x affinity, free players have access to 2x affinity. What you're recommending is you having 4x while free players have no chance of ever reaching that. Paid players having benefits that free players can't get is the definition of pay 2 win. The only thing that should be locked behind a paywall is cosmetics. Consoles don't do pay 2 win. If DE did go that route, they would be crossing a line that even EA and Activision refuse to cross. Just think about that for a second lol. Edited March 10, 2018 by (PS4)KingGuy420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you realize that, during double Affinity weekends, paying players with boosters get 4x Affinity... The same applies to every other booster. So, really, it's already implemented Edited March 10, 2018 by (PS4)LoisGordils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no, prime access buyers reaching numbers that non buyers can't reach is not already implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, you're NOT getting it You get a booster by buying it with Plat OR through Prime Access = 2x Sortie rewards yields the same booster = 4x (duration is individual for each booster) Buy a booster, get a booster Sortie reward and 2x Affinity = 8x However, you must first have the booster before obtaining it from Sorties. Otherwise it won't stack (avoiding exploitation) And even then, the chances of getting an 8x is slim :) Edited March 10, 2018 by (PS4)LoisGordils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
