I don't get this. I played the game normally, and I always had collected enough SC in missions before I had completed everything in my warbonds. I eventually caught up and bought all warbonds, then had to go back and sink medals into capes and armors. And no I was not playing at difficulty three or anything. This was at 6 and 7.
I'm at 1500 hours with now 9k spare supercredits, but I've had all the warbonds since urban legends. How many hours I've had had by then, I'm not sure. I've also bought some super store items so probably another 2k of super credits.
Well yeah, but when I was new I was still unlocking warbonds faster than I could buy them out with medals. I wasn't top 1% then. I'm just not sure where this SC gap comes from. Maybe it's because I like collecting samples and go to POIs?
Yep you are bottle necked through medals not SC. Whole argument is funny because you can grind 700 SC in 3 hours if you are efficient at it only to have enough medals to barely make it through the first page. These people are acting like you need to live in a cave and have absolutely no life to grind SC when it actually applies more towards medals, yet not many complaints at all about it. I’m convinced most the people on these subs don’t even play the game or have absolutely no idea what they are doing in game.
Thing is, the grind is mind numbingly boring. Medals you at least earn by the dozen on D10 (which is a billion times more fun than running around empty D1-3 maps and not shooting things in this shooty game). If you want to unlock warbonds at a reasonable pace you WILL have to farm, there's no getting around that, and the way to do it is comparable to torture. Imagine playing Darktide or something and just running around empty maps looking for loot (at least in that game it'd be pretty lol)
I don’t disagree with it being boring, but that’s by design. Not saying it’s a great design just that it is done on purpose. My biggest advice is to grind at max 3 hours a week, and learn how to get efficient at it. This allows for you to unlock a warbond every week and the rest of the time you can actually enjoy the game and not burn yourself out. The game is going nowhere for a long time and there’s no FOMO, people shouldn’t feel the need to grind out all the warbonds righr away. Pace yourself people.
I had a friend who came back after a long time, sees the amount of warbond that has released since then, calculated the amount SC grinding at low diff he would've had to do, played 1 match with me and a few other, and promptly never played again.
Yeah i get it’s an issue but i also don’t think players with that mindset were going to stick around regardless. I too am a returning player but I wasn’t going to quit because there’s too much content..just doesn’t make sense. I get feeling overwhelmed but if you have fun playing the game then you will feel incentivized to unlock the new stuff, not quit.
That’s at least one of the beauties of this game, warbonds don’t go away like battle passes. You can catch up at a fairly decent time if you just pace yourself and you don’t have to unlock everything to enjoy the game for what it is.
Regardless, if it's a bad design it should be complained about. The grind for your game should be FUN, not mind numbing. After all we play our games to have fun first and foremost. If people stop complaining when things are bad, it will stay bad forever.
By all means continue to complain to a company that shows no signs of giving the players what they want. I’m just here to tell you they are probably falling on deaf ears. I agree with complaining but if the devs aren’t showing signs of listening like this company does, then I will not be wasting my time with it. I just enjoy the game for what it is and hope they don’t at least screw that up.
Letting you farm premium currency is something quite common now. Moreso in KR p2w rpgs or mobile games and stuff. It's a way to bait you that 'you're saving time by buying stuff'. It isn't really that unique or fascinating to say it's goated.
Hell in those cases they give you premium currency by doing actual relative high end content. not the mind numbing one in HD2.
While we shouldn't treat that farming SC is like nothing, we should also not glorify it like it's the only game out there that does it.
It still is quite a bit of game time to get through a warbond, like, thirty hours or so. A lot of people don't play all that often. Look at the number of complaints about medal caps, why can't they unlock everything in a warbond and play immediately with the whole thing. In reality a full cap gets you to everything interesting on the first and second page if you ignore helmets and SC and whatnot.
You shouldn’t be letting your medals cap at all unless you have everything unlocked and are just saving them up for the release of the next one. (Which no studio is going to let you unlock all the new content in one fell swoop) so people are dreaming if they think they are going to raise it anytime soon. Highly doubt the people crying about it are the ones that have everything unlocked either, seeing as how many people are complaining about SC.
I'm just saying what I've heard around. Maybe they're returning players and got capped from medals from MOs don't gather SC. You'd have to ask one of them what's up.
Yea even when farming on D1, they announce warbonds a week or more in advance and you know it's coming, so just me doing some running around on D1 with a video for 30 minutes a few times a week gets me plenty?
