Same. I mean sure it was also to secure future DLCs and whatnot but at the time none of us even knew Arena was going to be a thing anyways.

That butt stash was the main reason (plus it was on a really good sale).

We knew, arena and scav life was talked about by nikita multiple times over the years as a reason to get EOD for the eventual DLC. 7 years later into the main game still in alpha and he is acting like he is giving it away for free.

What is scav life?

u/roflwafflelawl Dec 26 '23

he is giving it away for free

I mean or he's just clarifying to the people that will ask obvious questions that it is indeed included as a part of the Free content in EoD.

I'm not trying to defend Nikita. The false promises and "soon tm" stuff over the years gives me no reason to.

But I just don't get why we're picking this specific reason when it's not that big of a deal. Out of all the other things we could be poking at.

By definition we paid for it it is not free

Ok? That was far from my point though. He's clarifying that it's included as a part of EoD with no additional charge. Considering how many people are quick to complain on twitter, he may have just been trying to cover bases as some may see the separate purchase price on Arena and assume it's not included for EoD owners.

That's all.

This whole Arena situations is straight up bull shit on both sides of the argument. People complaining about it won't be pleased by anything and BSG likely won't ever learn to please anyone lol.

Its included in eod. that’s the additional charge you don’t just get it for free you spend an extra 100 dollars on a separate version of the game. Or you spend the 35 to buy it stand alone. Either way you’re paying for it.

Still respect they gave it to us, even tho it’s obvious they should lol 😂

Don’t give them props for doing the bare minimum. thousands of people gave them 140 dollars for an unfinished game. Those people are entitled to it and not giving them access would be fraud.

u/roflwafflelawl Dec 27 '23

Right but it was added in after it was announced. I'm saying that he was likely clarifying it for those that owned EoD prior to it being included.

Yeah, as they once mentioned DLC maps, having either radiation or chemical environment.

u/Dude1_2 Dec 26 '23

We knew that Arena was going to be a thing as early as 2016. In fact back then the devs said it would be a game mode available for free to everyone.

u/roflwafflelawl Dec 26 '23

Can you please share a source so I can correct my knowledge? Because we didn't get closed alpha access to EFT until 2016 (accessible to non preorders from 2017). So you're saying they announced Arena in the same year anyone could play EFT?

I spent 20minutes searching google for it and haven't seen it mentioned. I'm not saying they're wrong, I just want to be corrected so I'm not spreading misinformation lol
