Is this really all Dice/EA can do. New skins ?? Do they think this game is played entirely by kids??There is no goal in getting another useless skin, like the one for the sten which should be water proff. Still you cant use this in water:-) Whats your views on the weapon skins etc.,??
My view is that the ToW rewards are ok, some weeks we have weapons and some weeks its cosmetic fluff. They aren’t terribly difficult especially this week which could be done in a couple of rounds really.
I suppose people either engage with them or dont it’s up to them.
Yeah, this is part of the problem with taking away the premium pass. The developers are always going to focus on what they can monetize. With the premium pass, that was weapons and maps. If they wanted you to buy the premium pass, they had to make content that was attractive enough for you to want to spend your money on. That was actual content. With this live service set up, the only thing they can monetize is the skins. So I’m not sure why everybody’s surprised in their focus of making more skins. Of course they’re going to make more skins. This is what everybody wanted 2 years ago. Now they got it. The only way to solve this problem, is to stop buying games that aren’t worth the price tag on the day you buy it. That way nobody has anything to complain about. All of these complaints are coming from people who are expecting more. That’s the consumers fault, even if they developers promised more. Stop giving away your money. The live service was the worst idea possible. Live service is just another name for “unfinished game, but we still got your money, trust that we’ll make it better”. To be completely honest with you, I’m surprised the skins aren’t better. I don’t even spend my in game coins on these skins let alone actual money lol. They all look like common skins from BF1.
I’m not really concerned with who’s making it. The publisher’s are the ones re-up’ing investor money. EA are going to make sure the cosmetics work, because it’s the only portion of the game that’s currently monetized. Btw, I don’t blame them for this. It’s the only way they can make the current live service work. People don’t realize how much money gets invested into these games. EA/DICE are about to decide whether or not they’re going to continue making games. DICE seem like they insist on being the gaming industries guinea pig’s , and everybody else just learns what not to do. If you’re a developer, and you want to know what you shouldn’t do, just watch the Swedish DICE team. They’ll make sure everybody else knows how to out compete them with their never ending supply of wokeness.
West Coast servers are definitely feeling the influence from the Asian server problem. I live in Vegas, but mainly play on US east servers due to this problem.
My only gripe about the weekly challenges is stop giving weapons with bi-pods. All they do is promote players going prone in a bush. Most of the skins I have already acquired through assignments. If it’s something cool I’ll finish the challenge, if not I just ignore it and wait for the following week.
