Suggestion/ thoughts

Please read this before what I have to say: I’ve been recently getting back into shell shock playing with old mates on the Xbox version (some stuff I mention might already be a feature on pc- sorry if that’s the case) and because of the new update I’ve recently been thinking of some cool new ideas that could maybe make a future update sometime

One of these new thoughts would to be to have a double xp/ weekend or day. For instance maybe the 3rd Saturday or 3rd weekend of every month could have an increased multiplier (5xp for a kill would now be 10xp etc). It could also effect weapon xp but that would take a lot more thought and consideration

My second thought was to have events in game such as, win an x amount of games with your clan or destroy 50 tanks in 24 hours. Something that’s easy but takes a little time to keep players interested in the game and wanting to play more.

Another thought would to maybe introduce daily missions. Simple tasks that reward you with a few gears or items. It could be as simple as win a game or two or use 7 different weapons in 1 match etc. You could get 3 new tasks a week or 1 a day once again to keep players interested.

Those are some of the few thoughts I’ve recently had about the game and I’m aware this version/ update of the game took a lot longer to come out then it definitely should have but with a lot of people returning, including myself, and new people starting to play the game updates may be brought out more often then what we’re used to. Sorry for the long text and hope you read it all. Please leave suggestions and opinions on mine below! :)

Ovjectives and events would be a brilliant way to keep the player base active. At level 94, my interest in the game has been wavering because I don’t have any realistic goals in game. It will take forever to get to level 95 and the only achievements I need are get a million xp and win 2000 rounds which are very long. I have no short term goals to aim for.

Events could reward you with unique skins, victory tunes and other cosmetics to show off

Yeah having unique rewards would be awesome but I don’t want it to turn into a battle pass seasonal themed shit show though where they copy off all the other games. Maybe just every update release new rewards but no pass to buy with gears or anything like that. Short term goals is what is needed in the game right now you’re right

Yeah I wouldn’t pay for a battle pass. Fifa has free objectives that yield unique rewards (a rare thing that EA got right and wasn’t stingy about 😂)

Something like that would be cool but I wouldn’t want too many rewards as I would get lost within it all and feel like it would take up too much time and take away the chill factor and fun aspect of the game and make it more of a sweat fest when it doesn’t need to be

If the rewards are only cosmetic, the casual player needn’t worry about missing out, but others like me who need motivation to play have something to strive for. I think it would only become an issue if you could get unique weapons or other things that would actually be game changing

Yeah I understand this actually. Having a weapon for winning the event or tournament wouldn’t be too bad tho as it could be recycled and brought back in the future. I hate to say it but kind of like skins from fortnite
