I have never played Rainbow 6, but what you describe sounds like a hybrid of a season pass with a subscription model... which is a bit bizarre. But if it works for them then who am I to say otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenithar Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 The lowest priced option INCLUDED the season pass. If you clicked on the bundle info, it is listed. That is why I was confused by the pricing. $20 for one map, or $14.53 for that map and the one in spring. Makes no sense. It would have also included SE if I did not already own it.

Xenithar Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Yeah, and it makes no sense. I am not getting a different DLC than a guy who pays $20 for it. Just seems silly. Not bashing Wildcard here or anything. The pricing is just plain silly. Either way 275.3 claims to have fixed the remap issue, so I am about to fire up the cluster and test it.

I assumed it functioned like a season pass for a theme park, I've never actually purchased one. Thanks for clarifying, that changes things substantially. The season pass would objectively be the better value in that circumstance, more bang for your buck. 9 hours ago, Ranger1 said: No worries, it can get a bit confusing. Nah I'm not having none of this. Stop being nice to each other, put the gloves on, down some toxicity water and fight it to the death true forum style.

I am rather curious as to where the lie resides, and how I came off as emotional? I was posting rational, logical, and factual information to clarify what I perceived the OP's issue to be about. If you have factual evidence contrary to that which I posted, please list it. As to being emotional, I left most of my emotion in a bag in the basement for when they might be needed... You know, family drama and those commercials about puppies with "In the arms of an angel..." playing in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and does anyone else see the fad phrase 'toxic' in chat and have nostalgic thoughts about the Toxic Avenger? Or am I just that old... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Recon Wildlands is my favorite... Buy season pass, get dlc... find out dlc is cheaper than season pass, but season pass gets a cool little patch for your backpack that no one can see and a weapon skin no one wanted. Oh, and dlc is basically standalone with zero interaction between the main game and the dlc (each has their own weapons/characters). Now that is a jacked up season pass. Honestly, even this drama with the Ark SP only seems to be ongoing due to a delay in the Aberration release. And with the discount if you already own SE and being on sale, I can see how it is confusing. I think the best recourse to resolve all these issues is to make a video montage of Ichthyornis deaths and them remove them from existence. If they were real somewhere in history, thats one creature that deserved to be extinct. #NoMoreIchthyornisNazis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of things I enjoy about Ark, but there are also plenty of things I think are dumb as crap. It doesn't have to be an "I HATE!" or "I LOVE!" type of thing...I feel like people lose track of that sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArkCreation Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Not much to talk about on this topic, but yes sucks for people who bought it early, sucks for people who bought scorched earth, sucks for Everyone on the delay. But with these online transactions I’ve learned to save my money, delay the urge to buy something I want, and if possible play for free if they offer it. Don’t think anyone needs their hand held on this one. Simply acknowledge it learn from it, and avoided in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
