Is Pay 2 Win Really Happening in Elite Dangerous Odyssey? Gamestore ARX Ship Variants & Early Access
Is Pay 2 Win Really Happening in Elite Dangerous Odyssey starting in the first week of May 2024?
After the Python MK II & Elite Dangerous Updates to the Gamestore information went live I have been bombarded by multiple commanders to give my opinion.
First let’s tackle the Elite Dangerous Gamestore and Pricing changes.
“Over the past few years, many of you have identified that the store has become hard to navigate and that it is difficult to find the content that you really want, with this in mind we will be refreshing the store to provide a better experience for our players.”
Even though I haven't spent any money in the Elite Dangerous ARX store recently, I have spent hundreds of dollars in the past. Any changes that make it easier for the buyer to find and then open their wallet will be a huge improvement and should generate more money for Fdev. If they can arrange the store to make items way easier to find it’s going to really boost impulse sales.
“Starting in May 2024, you will notice a change in how we approach the Elite Dangerous Gamestore – which will also include ARX pricing adjustments for some of our cosmetic items, alongside new product types. Players will continue to be able to earn ARX in-game by playing Elite Dangerous daily, or by contributing to events in-game.”
When Fdev first introduced the ability to earn ARX in game I was pretty excited. This was during the time I was actually spending money in the store on a constant basis. Here is the thing though. You can only earn 400 per week and it takes a few minutes depending on what you're doing to earn those 400 ARX. I basically viewed it as a time gate for those who can't really afford real world purchases....
"We are excited to bring ship variants into Elite Dangerous throughout the year and are looking forward to seeing how you make use of each one. Starting with the Python Mk II, we are pleased to announce that this will be available in-game for Odyssey players on the 7th August for credits at Shipyards across the galaxy.”
You know what? It’s actually pretty exciting to finally have a solid release date announced for the Python Mk II! We all know the exact date we as commanders can finally buy our first of four ship variants in Elite Dangerous. After all these years I’m pretty excited.
“However, if you cannot wait until then you can get 3-month early access to this ship on 7 May from the store for 16250 ARX.”
Oh wow so where do I begin? First of all if they don’t adjust the amount of ARX a player can earn it’s going to be brutal, capped at 400 per week that comes out to just a little over 40 weeks to grind for that early access ship. By the time you grind that the rest of the remaining three other variants will already be released. It sounds like they are upping the ways we can earn ARX in game. Let’s hope those changes come with a larger weekly cap.
The Python MKII is only the first ship variant. I’m willing to bet the other three new incoming ship variants will also be pre released into the ARX store for early access. If that doesn’t happen I would be extremely surprised.
“Non-Odyssey owners will be able to access ship variants from the store for ARX.”
This sounds an awful lot like if you don’t own Odyssey then the only way to get these new ships is to spend real world money...
