Middle Earth: Shadow of War will not require a constant internet connection
This means that the game will not need a constant internet connection, as some outlets have reported, with the entire game being playable offline apart from a few online features.
Gold exists for users who want to speed up their army building process. There are people who appreciate having the option. We don’t want to restrict any players from playing our game. So, we have that for those who want a speedy option, and those that choose to avoid it can do so without any negative impact on their game.The game is balanced so you can play the game without using the Market. As you play the game you’ll have excess Mirian, this gives you an option to use that excess Mirian if you like. Or you can let that Mirian build up as high as you want. Epic and Rare weapons drop with relative frequency, and DON’T need an epic orc to drop. Legendary orcs are rarer. However, the number of legendary orcs you meet increases as you play through the game.
The drop rate of common/epic/legendary orcs has nothing to do with the market. We balanced SoW first, so the drop rates there is set for what our designers and research has shown to be the most interesting. So, if you just do the normal game, the game will be balanced for that.
To be clear Monolith is not implementing any always online DRM tech, reports of the game's online requirements have been greatly exaggerated.
Shadow of War will release on October 10th on PC, Xbox One and PS4.

About NFS: can you enlighten me about that? I've seen people ask questions about it (this pack) on Facebook more than usual, so what's the deal with it?Quote

The same cars will be available outside of the "platinum car pack", just not in the same pre-modified state and without the same cosmetic options.
Some places alleged that the game had a graphical "tyre smoke" option behind a pre-order paywall. Then make it seem like a slippery slope that other games would do the same in the future (IE, the game will look better if your pre-order). The truth is that is is an aesthetic change for a unique car pack and not a unique in-game graphical option.
Long story short is that people see "exclusive tyre smoke" on promotional material and do not properly look into it. It is not a unique graphical option, but an aesthetic change to a pre-order exclusive car pack.
I don't like pre-order exclusive content, but I do not like how mountains can be made out of molehills like this. Usual EA bashing for clicks.Quote
