Due to distance, we hang out every other month.
We get together for this Christmas and New Years.
Last Halo he’s played is reach during the 360 glory days.
We hop into Infinites Multiplayer and he asks looks at the festival skin.
Plays second match… “hey, are the highlighted challenges the festival challenges?”
Tell him we earn one tier of progression a day.
??? he starts laughing… “WHAT THE F—?!..you serious?!”
Yupp. tell him he can get the festival armor color tomorrow.
Anyone else felt this way about 343’s timed-locked progression system?
My cousin has the skin now, but that was a genuine reaction of a person that doesn’t spend their time playing battlepass progression type games.
this so many tiers a day progression needs to be removed during festival events.
If playing ‘one’ entire game a day (that you don’t even have to win) is a big deal, I don’t know what to tell you. You can even qualify by playing ‘Bot Bootcamp’ (which takes around 5-10 minutes) and even miss ‘four days worth’ and still get all of the rewards. They literally couldn’t have made it any easier; well, they could have… but for marketing reasons ‘343’ wants players logging in every day to check out ‘daily store items.’ They obviously don’t want people blowing through the entire event in one day, and then not logging back in for a week.
It sucks imo because I hate logging in every day to play one match. I don’t want to be hassled to play daily over FOMO. This feels like a chore. 343 is trying to Pavlov us into becoming loyal daily players to make the game look better and keep the population alive. I grind out the whole weekly on my day off work. I don’t feel like coming home and turning on my PC, wasting a half hour playing a match every night before bed. It’s a damn good way to make players hate playing, when thinking about it makes you groan instead of being eager to play.
If you feel it is a waste of time then don’t do it. I really don’t get why anyone has any FOMO over any of these cosmetics. None of it is worth doing something unenjoyable.
Maybe not this event, but the upcoming Tactical Ops and Cyber Showdown events have very cool items I don’t want to miss out on. I’m already dreading logging on Jan 18-31 then Feb 8-whatever. Just make a second set of Weekly challenges.
Honestly, every part of Infinite’s unlocking system is a joke. It’s just a shame that changes won’t come faster, because even though they are coming it’s gonna be an endless sea of threads and comments pointing it out like it’s really what makes or breaks the entire experience of a game.
Because people spent 3 years playing Halo 2 and 3 for their amazing progression systems right?
People complaining about having to play Fiesta for the Tenrai event/do challenges and now people also complaining about the daily login.
I’ve already got to the point where I know I’m not going to log in every week for the challenges. The things you unlock are not worth playing unless I’m in the mood to play. With no BTB I’m just not in the mood. If there’s a super cool item I really want, I’ll play even if I’m not in the mood so I can use it when I’m in the mood as I play Halo a lot.
Instead I’m also going back to being a Playstation main and playing through Hitman World Trilogy on the PS5.
