Flakfire said in his latest video “he needs things to do.” Is he saying that the gameplay isn’t reward enough? Turning BF1 into a job, grind, isn’t what i am here for. I’m here to kill the enemy and take/defend objectives. So if you are going to do it just make them general gameplay assignments. You can put in crazy optional ones for crazy optional players. What’s next fetch quests? ---

They may as well tie these assignments to the class levelling system. I presume that we will get more ranks for the classes in the future, so you could just assign each specialisation to a specific rank. With this, the player can choose to play the class to its strengths, rather than pursue these… _odd_ tasks. Some of these tasks detract heavily from teamwork and objective play, so the matches that we experience, once these specialisations are implemented, will be rather frustrating. For example, the Scout class can get the Camouflage specialisation at Scout Level 50. With this, you still encourage people to play the class. It also provides a bit of a grind for those that want it, but not only that, it also avoids annoying players who don’t want to perform obscure and near-impossible challenges. ---

I honestly don’t get DICE at times. As a medic, these specializations are supposed to help me revive people quicker and safer, making me a better medic. So why are there challenges making me drop the syringe or healing pouches to go out and blow up vehicles (which isn’t the role of my class)with rifle grenades? These specializations should facilitate teamwork and helping win matches through organic gameplay. If you have to pad out the grind to appease whining YouTubers or twitch streamers, why not make it a long grind involving gameplay you do every day?. For instance instead of blowing up vehicles with rifle grenades, how about getting 1,000 revives? How about 250 squad revives? 2,500 heals? 750 squad heals? I’m just spiballing numbers but you get the point and the numbers can be adjusted. ---

I think that some challenges need to be reworked: -destroying vehicles with Crossbow HE, Rifle Grenade HE and K bullets should be changed to “deal XXXX damage with Crossbow HE/Rifle Grenade HE/K bullets”. These weapons are nice as vehichle destroy assisting, but focusing on destroying vehicles with them are real frustration. -same goes to tripwire bombs, they can’t one-hit-kill -DLC/Battlepack items should be changed to something that everyone own -some challenges are relying too much on luck, as said above Also, maybe do 10 challenges with requirement of completion only 5 for every assignment? Not everybody likes AT mines and rifle grenades, for example. ---

Had enough of the same old cliche assignments (or the need to rank up) to unlock things. After nearly 20 years of FPS games it feels more like a chore than any fun. I don’t play this game to do tasks. ---

Don’t do vehicles, horse, elites, behemoths, mortars, rifle nades, bayonetting or other hokey-pokey stuff - most of these type assignments will simply be a nuisance for me. ---

I dont mind the assignments. They help keep the game interesting. However, how come we don’t have any specializations for vehicles? Vehicle classes, Cavalry, Tankers and Pilots should have specializations and specialization assignments as well. ---

Some of the assignments are quite tough, but overall I think they’re okay. I have objections to these, though: - “Earn the Scout Ribbon of Valor ribbon in a match” - Getting to do the assignment is based on pure luck. It could take weeks, possibly months, just to get the chance to do it. Also, what if you’ve already earned it? - “Destroy 10 tanks with the Crossbow Launcher - HE” - HE crossbow does very little damage to vehicles and I don’t believe they explode on impact, making it very hard to score a hit. Actually destroying 10 tanks would take a very long time. It should be toned down to just 3 tanks or something like it. - “Destroy 25 Armored Cars with Limpet Mines” - Even experienced players have probably not destroyed 25 armored cars in total, let alone just with limpet mines. It should be reduced to something like 5-10 cars. - “Destroy 25 vehicles with Rifle Grenades HE” - Pretty much the same as the HE crossbow. - “Kill 25 enemies with debris” - This relies too much on luck and circumstance. - “Obtain 5 kills with the Sawtooth Knife” - This is entirely dependent on luck with battlepacks. It’s not even achievable simply through purchases. It’s not reasonable. ---

I’ll not buy this DLC. When I buy something, I expect to be able to use it asap. This assignments/requirements will force me to play modes/weapons/classes that I don’t like, ruining my gaming experience. Also, will hurt my team/squad by forcing me to play sub-optimal class/load-outs. Some of the assignments seems ideas from a developer devious mind… Resuming the buying of future battlefields/DLC for when EA gets rid of the RPG mechanics. I work and at night I want to have some fun games, not to grind or do un-fun things. BR ---

Also, what if you’ve already earned it? This is just a ribbon, not a medal. 5 kills with a rifle in a round, easy enough to get.

1 Storm the Doors Challenge #2 Destroy 2 vehicles with Anti-Tank Grenades - will the nades stop bouncing off the vehicles? Challenge #4 As an Assault, bayonet charge 5 different enemies - hate bayonetting, it’s a cheap tactic 2 Selfless Courage Challenge #1 Heal 20 different allies - different as in heal 20 of the 31 other players in conquest? Challenge #2 Revive 15 different allies - what does different mean? 3 Supporting the Support Challenge #1 Resupply 20 different allies - the different word again? Challenge #2 Repair vehicles for a total of 300 damage - not sure what this means either Challenge #5 As a Support, suppress 10 different enemies - so is this suppression assists? 4 Eye on the Prize Challenge #3 Kill an enemy that has just killed a teammate - avenger kill, just make it avenger ribbon? Challenge #5 As a Squad Leader, place 5 orders in a round - typically I do NOT want scouts to be squad leaders 5 Omniverous Palate Challenge #2 Perform 10 kills with Tanks - I don’t use vehicles Challenge #3 Deal a total of 400 damage to vehicles - what is 400 dmg? 5a Leading from the Front (Basic) Challenge #6 Earn 1 Weekly Medal - the medal system is still broken and I rarely pay attention to it 5b Leading from the Front (Veteran) Challenge #3 Perform 50 kills with Stationary Weapons - not a fan of this and need support to repair 6a Dependable (Basic) Challenge #1 Perform 5 Suppression Assist kills - confused what this means? Challenge #2 Perform 10 kills with the Mortar - Air - really? Airburst is cheaper than bayonetting. Challenge #4 In a Round, repair vehicles for 800 damage - this sounds tough Challenge #5 Destroy 10 tanks with the Crossbow Launcher - HE - last hit for the kill with the HE version - luck here. 6b Dependable (Veteran) Challenge #1 Perform 50 kills with the Perino Model 1908 Low Weight - coming out with the DLC? Challenge #2 Destroy 25 Armored Cars with Limpet Mines - not enough cars to begin with let alone limpy k’s Challenge #5 In a single life, perform 5 kills as an Elite Class - don’t use them in fact I might have 5 kills or less with 400 hours of gameplay Challenge #6 Perform 50 kills whilst on horseback - don’t use them either and have no idea what these last two challenges have to do with the support class 7a Healing Hands (Basic) Challenge #1 Heal 10 different squad members - what does diff mean? Challenge #2 Revive 10 different squad members - ditto above note Challenge #5 Perform 5 kills with the Medical Syringe - really? More cheap stuff (NOT Jeep stuff) maybe have 100 kills with the Kolibri next? Trolling schtuff (mixture of s\*\*t and stuff) and I don’t dig it. 7b Healing Hands (Veteran) Challenge #3 Destroy 25 vehicles with Rifle Grenades HE - more lucky shots with HE variations of exploitable junk. Challenge #6 As a Medic, perform 50 kills with Gas Grenades - nothing says healing hands like death by hands off gas 8a Eagle Eye (Basic) Challenge #1 Perform 10 Spot Assist kills - not sure what this means? If it’s just spotting then it needs fixed in the game since the mechanic sort of works sometimes and other times i’m breaking the controller (xbone) Challenge #3 Perform 5 Squad Spot Assist kills - so this is just squad mates Challenge #5 Achieve 3 Spot Assist kills using Flares - and this is only by the flare Challenge #6 Kill 3 enemy Elites with K Bullets - these are for vehicles, elites and the like not general infy - or when I run out of ammo - seems kind of silly to waste them instead of helping your team get rid of tanks - wait do tank destructions count as K kills? 8b Eagle Eye (Veteran) Challenge #3 Kill 20 different enemies with Tripwire Bombs - here’s that different thing again Challenge #4 Perform 50 kills with the Lebel Model 1886 Sniper - only use infy, marksman and carbine variants Challenge #5 Win 10 games of Domination - because snipers are really good on Domination, typically Challenge #6 Headshot a Pilot with any single-action Rifle - some luck, some skill at least there are more shots going at the planes and the little glowing orbs of death 9 Vehicular Chaos Challenge #1 Perform 15 road kills - trolling, don’t use them Challenge #2 Down 25 planes using Stationary Weapons - or these Challenge #3 Perform 35 kills with the Cavalry lance - no horses either Challenge #4 Perform 45 kills whilst using any tank - think I’ve rode in a few Challenge #5 Perform 50 kills whilst using any plane - my team probably wouldn’t want me in a plane Challenge #6 Perform 50 Driver Assist kills - the vehicle assts are way different from past games 10 It’s Where you Stand Challenge #1 Destroy 10 Tanks on Amiens - only on Amiens? Tankers will never play the map and if these come out with the Tsar DLC then very few people will be playing the Vanilla maps to begin with. Challenge #2 Perform 25 Melee kills on Argonne Forest - wait, bring a knife (fav. melee weapon here) to shotgun forest? And only the forest, great people are going to set up melee only servers for Argonne, super. Challenge #3 Perform 100 Shotgun Kills on Ballroom Blitz - more map-centric assignments. Challenge #4 Perform 5 Multi-kills on Monte Grappa - large open map with bombers, well pilots will get this no prob. Challenge #5 Perform 50 Headshots on Nivelle Nights - DLC map, glad i’m premium for some reason Challenge #6 Kill 25 enemies with debris - luck, happenstance and maybes - the game has got to hone the basic fundamentals of action, hit reg, the ping game, etc. and moving around the debris and now we have to watch out for it killing us - absolutely superb…buildings are now your enemy, heeeheee 11 Modal Yodel Challenge #2 Perform 50 kills from Behemoths - don’t do them either, it’s an FPS and vehicles are groovy for those who do them but elites, cavalry, behemoths and all that are blah - don’t do them 12 It’s in the Game - really? EA, it’s in the game…ad here, bring back EA BIG and SSX2 or SSX3? Challenge #1 Take 10 dogtags from enemies - melee is wonky enough and most of the time I feel like I cheated someone or they cheated me - either way it’s just meh. Challenge #2 Perform 100 kills with Elite Kits - probably not Challenge #3 Bayonet Charge 50 enemies - cheap mechanic Challenge #4 Perform 40 kills with Explosives - 1 round Fort de Nade - DLC, sorry Challenge #5 Obtain 5 kills with the Sawtooth Knife - unlock it first, good luck with those battlepacks - randomness My thoughts, everyone should let their voice be heard, i’ll check out the specializations if they work on the xbone, last I checked the new dlc weapons were not and neither were these. ttfn.
