- January 19th, 2024, 7:45 am#4990893As someone who has put in the "mind-numbing" effort to get to Lvl. 100, Tenure 5, I too have mixed feelings about this pack.
On the positive, I understand that game development isn't free, so if this pack can help support the next big expansion, I'm fine with that. It isn't breaking the bank, and trust me, I've gotten enough time with this game that i feel an extra 7 bucks isn't the end of the world.
On the other hand, I feel like this pack wasn't made with long time players in mind. It's for the people who just bought this game and rather not have to deal with some of the more "grindy" contracts in order to get their preferred gear shell. And that's cool, but as someone who's done it all, I feel like working towards those contracts was a fun and interesting way to get familiar with the game, and a great way to get old players back into the game in between updates. It made the grind to the next tenure level more enjoyable, its like "well, I'm already at level 50 after unlocking everything, might as well keep going." I feel like making everything auto-unlock is going to remove some of the fun of maxing out your character.
That being said, I don't think this effects Side Hustles, so i guess there's still those to work on, if they decide to keep some of the cooler cosmetics locked behind those.
All in all, it's not the worst DLC I've ever seen.
"Well, that wasn't such a chore, now was it?"
