Now those items will cost less in real-life monies but a lot more through in-game currency. Rented items also last helluva lot shorter too.
Real-money gets you BattleFunds which can then be spent buying new stuff, and all those price tags have dropped. You can also earn in-game Valor Points to buy same said items but their value has plummeted as costs skyrocket; damn wartime inflation.
Items could also be ‘rented’ for a long period of time but now instead of getting a month out of that new gun, you’ll land yourself with just one to three days. This move has proven somewhat unpopular with players, turning BF Heroes into a mega grind fest.
2 million users had registered with Battlefield Heroes in September. Do you play? It seems having cash to flash gets you an advantage over those without, something that EA DICE said wouldn’t be an issue. Should purchasable items stay cosmetic only?
