Ok, I admit I don't like how the content is paywalled, but…
it's only $4. While I agree that this game should not introduce more P2P-only content, I also think that people should stop overreacting and trying to make OOO look like greedy villains because as of now this new mission is extremely cheap - all of us probably spend more than four dollars in a day so yeah…
Psycho, I totally agree with your thread. OOO have not messed up; I think a bottle of soda costs a dollar in the US. So the new content costs the same as just four coke bottles.
You want a greedy villain company? Look at Activision and what they did to Call of Duty. Yup. Sixty bucks per game, fifteen bucks per 5-map map pack, and a game per year. And the CoD games are all rehashed with next to no new content except for the setting in time. THAT's a perfect example of moneygrubbing companies.
Oh yeah and let's look at other MMOs. They usually force you to pay every month in order to play or call themselves F2P but paywall 50%+ of the content. I understand F2P players' decision to not spend money, but to be honest OOO doesn't even count as a greedy company.
There has always been a pay wall in SK. The difference being, they allowed people to get around it by letting payers sell to the free guys so that they can also do things, albeit at a much slower pace. It was a great system. And they're ignoring it.
$4 is $4, whether it's real money or $4 worth of crystal energy, but making it real money just cuts of a rather large section of your player base for no reason.
It's only four dollars. At least you don't have to gamble with a lockbox. Plus you get new weapons and a mask.
How about non-steam people can trade DLC tickets.
God, problem solved >.> Nobody can enter the new content unless someone, somewhere bought their ticket for them to sell to them with CE.
Such a simple solution >.> make it like CE, people have to buy it somehow to get it sold to free players >.>
Her's my thoughts:

the mission pack isnt worth it, i may LOVE the new bomb, 3 star, but its making me WANT to quit the game for soem reason, even thoguh i got the pack
The only thing that I don't like about this is the fact that I can't buy with my cellphone credit. Then again... I can only buy CE with it. NO packs etc. :(
Still thinking whether I should get paypal or not.
OOO, please let me buy things with Onebip or something equivalet. >:[
Was hoping the three missions were completely different, rather than higher tiered versions. Would've been a good expansion if the story was about 12 levels long.
