PC players get monthly subscription rewards of 500 marketplace cash/month. PS4 and Xbox get these rewards in loyalty points and a separate vendor. This vendor for PS4 and Xbox do not have the Booster Bundles. PC players are able to use their monthly 500 as actual marketplace cash and thus use it towards Booster Bundles. What gives?
It's meant to be on the loyalty vendor but with how often stuff has broken lately are we even surprised ?
I asked about it in the livestream thread and someone else did in the regular bb thread but there has been no reply from the devs in either one. I know in the past sometimes they had to add them to the vendors so I am just taking it as par for the course unless the devs say otherwise.
Probably made the decision to have release dates different to increase further demand, and get pc players to buy more at first in order to get the items they want, rather than have more available in the community that we could work the broker for. I wouldnt be surprised if in the future there was"problem" next, and the booster bundle items cant be traded across platforms once they are released after this experiment. Only reason that makes sense to me, why this happened. Im not surprised at all. Seen this monetization and business model's moves before in another mmo game. You wanted a super hero game, and you got one. Problem is, being able to even buy cosmetic items in game you might want now, is like trying to play a drawn out game of chess with $ceo lex luthor in the lobby, who keeps coming up with different offers to try to get you to give out your credit card info when you get hungry or thirsty, and his vending machines are locked behind a villainous RNG wall. "Act now", "your gonna love them", "who doesnt love casino-themed vending machines?", "Your paying for 10 dollars worth of items you dont want to eat or drink, BUT you get chance to get the beverage YOU REALLY WANT (DISCLAIMER: Horrid RNG Rates Apply) as an added bonus!", "Bundle exclusive!", "Styles will never return!" but wait, theres more - "Limited time Only!"
As someone who’s been here since the beginning, I can confidently tell you that the devs always leave the booster bundle off the loyalty vendor until a week or two go by and then they mysteriously fix it and claim “oh this was an oversight..we apologize”. But in reality it’s obvious that it’s a greedy marketing ploy so as to get members to spend more cash instead of the loyalty points they have stockpiled on their account. It’s actually funny at this point because it’s always the same and the cycle continues every booster bundle, there’s no way they can make the same mistake every time “accidentally”. There’s been way too many booster bundles for this to keep happening and if you search the thread history, you will find threads from years ago describing this very issue with previous booster bundles.
I check loyalty vendor every day on PS4 and still no BB guess they don't want anymore money or they'll just wait for the last weekend before it goes out and it'll magically appear.....
