EA's nyudgivne Star Wars Battlefront II har lidt meget under debatten omkring spillets mikrotransaktioner, og nu prøver spilgiganten at rette op på fejlen. Blandt andet er spillet blevet kritiseret for at belønne spillerne for lidt, da det tager utroligt lang tid at optjene credits, for derefter at få råd til at købe kister. Nu har EA valgt at skrue op for hvor mange credits spillerne tjener per kamp, og vil desuden give en højere belønning til de spillere, der præstere at være højt på listen når kampen er ovre.
EA har skrevet følgende:
"The end-of-round payout has been increased. This is an area we agree needed to be buffed a bit, especially when it comes to rewarding players for doing well in-game. We're upping the number of Credits you get for a match across the board, and specifically bumping the top players on each team by even more.
Earn 3X more Credits daily in Arcade Mode. It's been made clear that you were hitting the Arcade Mode Credit cap faster than we expected, so we wanted to alleviate that by increasing it to 1500 Credits. While we're still looking into ways to add more content into it the mode in the long-term, we think that this should help in the near-term for those who want rewards for completing the different scenarios.
Daily Login Crates will now provide more crafting parts than before. You'll notice the change right away when you log in. Crafting the Star Cards you want will help make sure you're progressing in the direction you want, and we absolutely wantto empower that. This should help you get where you want to go faster when it comes to crafting and upgrading."
Med den nye tilgang vil det altså blive hurtigere at skaffe sig de kort man stræber efter, samtidigt med at det er muligt at optjene tre gange så mange credits i Arcade-spiltypen. Opdateringen er tilgængelig nu, og vil desuden også tilføje en begivenhed til og med den 15 december, der sætter fokus på den kommende film Star Wars The Last Jedi, der blandt andet tilføjer nye helte og nye baner til spillet.
