Magic: Legends Makes Dimir Assassin Free


Perfect World Entertainment draws ire of high-rolling gambling addicts.

Magic: Legends is out and in beta and you know what that means; it’s time for Perfect World Entertainment to anger its customer base. Last week we talked about how PWE refunded battle passes after rotating a couple of costumes. This week the Magic team has ruffled a new set of feathers by announcing that the Dimir Assassin class will be made a level 50 battle pass reward for both the free and premium tracks.

Why would this make people angry? The Dimir Assassin class is presently only available if you buy Dimir Assassin booster packs, which are cash shop items. Let me specify; the Dimir Assassin class is only available as a potential reward in loot boxes. The odds of unlocking the class are rather low although unknown as PWE doesn’t post rates like an ethical company would do, and players on the forums have spent hundreds of dollars trying to unlock it.

Naturally when one wastes hundreds of dollars feeding a gambling addiction on nontangible video game items, and the hot reward you’ve been going after is announced to be made free, and that announcement comes five days after beta launch, you’d be rightfully upset. There’s also the fact that some users are pointing out the slow battle pass progression and how it may or may not be impossible to complete the pass within the allotted time without spending additional money to unlock levels. Cryptic is apparently looking at that. “Looking” at it.
