Total War: Warhammer III Shadows of Change DLC's $25 price met with backlash; players demand weekly or biweekly fixes for crucial bugs

Total War: Warhammer III developers have come under heavy criticism for the price of Shadows of Change DLC and their wanting commitment towards fixing annoying bugs and issues in the game.

Creative Assembly recently announced the new DLC, which brings forth three new Legendary Lords for Tzeentch, Grand Cathay, and Kislev.

Each one of them has its own unique campaign mechanics and is accessible in both the Realm of Chaos and Immortal Empires campaigns.

In addition, players will be able to expand their roster with 11 new units and strengthen their forces with 9 new Regiments of Renown.

However, by looking at the reports (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) it appears that multiple gamers are unhappy with the high pricing of the DLC.

They are skeptical about the forthcoming DLC’s depth, doubting that there will be anything as substantial as the Wood Elf rework to justify the $25 price tag.

Players claim that they were able to tolerate a price rise from $12 to $15 (for the Champions of Chaos DLC). But the leap to $25 for the upcoming DLC has got them concerned.

They also assert that despite various updates and DLC releases, the game hasn’t reached the expected level of quality.

Understandably, this has made gamers question the value they are getting. Some even believe that they have been overpaying for content that doesn’t meet their expectations.

25$ for that content? It’s half on the full game’s price for a below average amount of content for a dlc… That’s 9$ TWW2 dlc sold for 3 times the price. See you in the next sale. MAYBE.

The new DLC is worth 25 euros/Dollars, same price as the Chaos Dwarfs and more than any other Lord Pack.

A notable section of Total War: Warhammer III players (1,2,3,4,5) is also disappointed with the development team’s approach to bug fixes.

They allege that the persistent bugs and poor maintenance of the game negatively affects their gameplay experience.

Some even complain that they are unable to play the game continuously due to the existence of concurrent glitches.

One of those impacted says that they will not purchase the new DLC until concrete evidence and visual confirmation of bug fixes are provided.

They want the developers to fix the glitches relating to sieges and broader map-level campaign mechanics as well.

Do you still remember the sunfang quest battle? They removed constrained reinforcement spawn zones and made this battle impossible to complete. They said they fixed it but they did not. I think it took them close to 6 month to finally fix it.

I don’t even know if it’s bugs so much as unfun sieges, terrible ai, and garbage late-game that suck the joy out of playing a campaign past turn 50

Gamers are now also requesting the developers to release weekly or biweekly fixes for crucial bugs. This will allow them to play the game as originally intended.
