Because the whole reason they introduced payed cosmetics was so they could create content like this for free right? Also locking content like this behind money in any game is bad, but in a game that is as stagnant and stale as vermintide is honestly just a poor move.
What we're trying to avoid is shipping paid content that splits players (see WOM). Choosing to use the Grail Knight doesn't restrict you from any lobbies or others from your lobby (unless they happen to be playing the Knight as well, as it works with Vanilla careers as well). These kinds of DLC will hopefully allow us to continue providing free content that would otherwise split the player base if paid for.
Hey Hedge! Off topic for this thread, but do you have any idea if we'll see a double XP weekend again anytime soon? I've gotten some new friends into the game thanks to the COVID situation and that would really help players like them who are picking up the game for the first time during the lockdown.
I'll speak with the powers, maybe we can schedule one for Season 3 :)
It does, I think they dropped it from VT2 to just shave down the title's length as it was a bit silly.
This is it yep, the name was getting preeetty long. We're still sadly* in the End Times.
*as in 'this ends badly' rather than a critique of AoS. I remain staunchly impartial on that. You'll never know.
