Basically the title, I decided to forgo a poll since its not really A or B or C. Obviously we only have a basic outline of the content so far, but what are your initial impressions?
Im a bit worried about community fragmentation myself, hopefully the expansions are huge but what people will perceive to be a couple $20 map packs will be a hard sell. People not willing or able to pony up the cash will split the playerbase, which just pushes people to the next game. I dont mind paying a $100 for a game that keeps me interested for two years, but I know im in the minority on that one.

I like that they put it out there this early. It gives everyone a good amount of time to weigh their own investment levels while they process the game for the first 20 levels or whatever the cap ends up being. I think that there's a strong possibility that there will be some confusion between these being map packs or something bigger and more substantive, and that like you mentioned Fisty, is where there will be hesitance. But I don't think that fragmentation will be that big of a deal. This doesn't feel as casual (for lack of a better term) an investment just yet. And I'm betting that most people that are in it for the long haul will prioritize getting those packs. Having them included in the higher tier packages is a good start. Once they're there on the store fronts and advertised, I think that people will grab them up with little hesitation.
