Poll of the Day > unlocking everything in Battlefront II requires 4,528 hours or $2100

(+) Yeah! (+)

http://www.swtorstrategies.com/2017/11/it-will-take-4528-hours-of-gameplay-or-2100-to-unlock-all-base-game-content.html

Just a heads up. With the system implemented in Star Wars: Battlefront 2, it will take you quite a big wallet, or tons of free gaming time on your hand, to unlock the whole game.

Here is the break down:

Notes

Im assuming that all cards are already possessed, are at level 3, and that the player has 0 credits and crafting parts left over. Im also assuming that all one time rewards (challenges and level rewards) were used while getting the cards to level 3, so they are not factored in.

Cards from loot crates are assumed to be level 1 55% of the time, level 2 40% of the time, and level 3 5% of the time. Duplicate credit values are assumed to be 200 for a level 1, 400 for a level 2, and 600 for a level 3, this makes the average card level 1.5 and makes the average duplicate worth 300 credits. Loot crates are assumed to provide an average of 2 cards. Crafting parts are assumed to average 50. This makes the value of a crate (once you have every card in the game) worth 600 credits and 50 crafting parts. The credits are accounted for by reducing the cost of hero crates from 2,200 to 1,600.

The cost of upgrading a level 3 card to a level 4 card is 480 crafting parts. Only hero crates are bought because they are the cheapest source of crafting parts.

Players earn credits at a rate of 1,100 credits per hour.

Loot crates required are rounded up. All totals for gameplay hours are rounded to the nearest whole number.

This estimate ignores the time required to get all cards to level 3, the time required to unlock all heroes, and daily crates.

Troopers

There are 17 cards for each of the 4 base troopers. This totals 68 cards and will require 32,640 crafting parts. This will require opening 653 loot crates which will require 950 hours of gameplay (238 hours for a single base trooper class).

Enforcers

The enforcer class type has 5 cards. Upgrading these requires 2,400 crafting parts. This will require opening 48 loot crates which will require 70 hours of gameplay.

Aerial

The aerial class type has 5 cards. Upgrading these requires 2,400 crafting parts. This will require opening 48 loot crates which will require 70 hours of gameplay.

Armor

The armor class type has 6 cards. Upgrading these will require 2,880 crafting parts. This will require opening 58 loot crates which will require 84 hours of gameplay.

Speeder

The speeder class 6 cards. Upgrading these will require 2,880 crafting parts. This will require opening 58 loot crates which will require 84 hours of gameplay.

Starfighters

Each of the three starfighter classes has 9 cards. This totals 27 cards which requires 12,960 crafting parts. This will require opening 260 loot crates which will require 378 hours of gameplay (126 hours for a single starfighter class).

Heroes

There are 14 infantry heroes with 9 cards and 9 starfighter heroes with 9 cards. This totals 207 cards. Upgrading these will require 99,360 crafting parts. This will require opening 1,988 loot crates and will require 2,892 hours of gameplay (126 hours for a single hero).

Grand Total

There is a grand total of 324 cards. Upgrading these will require a total of 155,520 crafting parts. This requires opening a grand total of 3,111 loot crates which will require 4,528 hours of gameplay.

Final cost in crystals

The 600 credits received from a hero crate is worth 27% the cost of a hero crate. This is equivalent to 30 crystals. To account for this, I reduced the cost of a hero crate from 110 crystals to 80 crystals. 12,000 crystals can be bought for $100.

Opening the required 3,111 loot crates requires 248,880 crystals. If you only purchase $100 crystal packs, this will cost $2,100.

If you wanna view it that way, then sure. But it's not like this is 4,528 hours of fun, new, unique, and original content. It's a grind. It's the same grind of the same thing over and over. I guarantee anyone wanting to play over 4,500 hours of the same thing would commit seppuku before finishing.

EA ruins everything they touch.

The progression system is also almost completely loot box based so you're not really working toward unlocking most things as much as you are rolling dice and seeing what you unlock.

EA should fix "Origin" before they drain people of their money.

That's like... More than most of my WoW played time across my most played characters. Wow
---

So judging from your destiny time, you'll have it complete in about 2 days.
---

That's around 187 days, which is pretty fucked up.
---

That's a lot more time and money than most people are willing to spend on a video game.
Thankfully people heard this before opening the games so they can get their money back. or not buy a copy in the first place.

I've heard that EA removed the refund button from the website.

Lol

Just lol

All this press about the game is legit making we want to buy it

That's pretty bad, but there's also a cool down for how many credits you can earn in a time period, and that makes it take even longer.

Nothing wrong with that though. Let's be honest here. the vast majority of people are not going to unlock everything. They are going to grind towards specific things.

Yea, that's bullshit EA.

I love the amount of people complaining about this who in other areas of life accuse people of feeling entitled or call them snowflakes.

But who really wants everything in this kind of game?

Depends what "everything" means. Every possible skin? Probably not. Every weapon? More so. Every character? Definitely. That's not a very useful figure because it doesn't break down what's being unlocked, and just looking at the grand total doesn't really say anything, but it also shouldn't just be dismissed with "well, nobody's going to want everything anyway."
