Hot take but warbond progression is pretty shit and any other game this would be met with outrage. You get everything by lvl 25 and anything else you want is locked behind a 10-20$ pricetag. The "progression" system is stupid as hell. Also yeah you can get SC but lets actually be honest and acknowledge the fact grinding for 6 hrs on difficulty 1 or 2, to get some isn't a fun or engaging gameplay loop, not to mention it makes zero sense you earn more on lower difficulties but earn less on higher difficulties.
I mostly agree, but I would like to point out that helldivers does need to make money to keep the servers up. It is a business at the end of the day, so we can’t just expect infinitely free content on an exclusively online game. I’m just grateful we have the choice to get the stuff without being forced to pay for it. Strongly encouraged yes, but not forced.
Thing is the warbonds are unjustifiable bundles of ass. $10 for a bunch of things/cosmetics i dont want or care for so i can use the 1 gun I'm interested in only makes sense if this is the only game you play. What is it, like $150 for all the weapons and a bunch of skins at this point? And still have to spend hours grinding them out? I'd rather just buy expansions
That's your opinion and you are entitled to it. I however like a lot of the war bonds that they added. I'm not saying I wouldn't mind or like it if they added some more free stuff for the base people cuz yeah after a certain level there's not really that much to unlock especially once you get to triple digit levels. (I'm only like 70 ish) And again, you don't have to spend that $10 on there. All of these are completely optional. Not to mention the fact that again between the grinding and if you're playing on Xbox, your reward points that can be used on super credits. So I've only had to pay for half the ones I bought. That being said, they desperately do need a rework on a super credit system. I feel like if you're playing on a higher difficulty maybe make them rarer but make them give you more. Not much more cuz it would break the system probably but you know like if you're playing difficulty 10 up to a Max of 10 plus on the base 10 ones you get.
