So servers have been unplayable for 4/5 days now, constant disconnects and rollback taking away any progress made, exp gained and loot dropped. Not a word of resolution on this but now we get THIS. A microtransaction.....

It's really interesting to see where your priorities are.

Maybe players wouldn't complain so much about slower progress if they could actually make any at all in the game without it being rolled back?

More loot boxes, skins and cosmetics.. less fixes and server quantity so they can handle the traffic. Nice!

I bet if you sit down and have a good think on it you might be able to find a connection between the money generated by MTX and the money required to add, upgrade, and maintain server hardware.

EU servers having a bad time? Who the fuck cares – here's a new mystery box! Go and buy it – buy it for yourself, your family, your friends, and your friends' friends. Who the fuck cares about constantly crashing servers, rollbacks, and lags :))

good thing you asked, however it's the wrong person..

collocation of a 1U server costs ~35-50eur with a 1G unmetered connection
within a 1U chasis you can fit up to 2 CPUs and terabytes of ram

that 1U server can be bought refurbished if needed (250-300eur) and just this server would be capable of handling at least 1-2k players simultaneously


so no, there's no connection, just pure profit and milking off the 'diehard' fans they have

(edit: I'm not even going to talk about the rentable servers, OVH with DDoS protection, two Xeon Gold CPUs /64core+/ and 256-512G ram and a 1-10G connection is <300eur/month)
