I know I’m in a moany mood right now but in all honesty you should have just given us this knife. It’s really hard to get excited about melee weapons when we know you already have so many guns which are yet to be released (see datamines) and melee works fairly poorly in BFV. For example where is the Chauchat? You even gave some people the assignments for that gun months ago and there’s still no sign of it outside SP and CA.

I’m still going to complete ToW this week, as I’ve not missed one yet, but this reward is only a slight step up from the 5000CC one.

Edit #3: Please don’t think I’m ranting at you, Braddock, as that’s not my intention. I’m simply trying to give you some blunt feedback that you guys need to think about the rewards you’re giving out during ToW chapters as some of them haven’t been much to get excited about. I suspect that you actually know this based on some of the comments I’ve seen you leave on Reddit.

As a piece of feedback, Dice need to think a LOT more carefully about assignments.

PALLAS - 10,000Chapter XP
Win 3 rounds on Mercury.

All this does is as soon as it’s clear one team will lose everyone bails out of the game on the losing side. Continually assignments are incentivising the wrong behaviour, and that’s bad for players and bad for the game.

Don’t even get me started on the insensitive “Earn 1000 points in Frontline” the day you announce you’re canning the game mode. Way to antagonise the player base!

I got that particular Daily then too. If it helps you can still do that task in Grand Operations (assuming you can find a server running that GO day of course). I personally ignored my Daily partly out of protest and partly because I find GO frustrating to play.

Good feedback though and that had been a complaint about assignments since at least BF1.
