might be worth taking inspiration from destiny 2 and removing the tier 100 limit in the battlepass and granting some amount of credits every 5 or so levels past 100

Still nothing about the horrifically inconsistent gameplay and melee? Jesus, a word would be nice.

Awesome update. Glad to hear. Still can’t shake the feeling that those of us that bought Season 1 are getting a little snubbed here. We’re sticking with you through all this. Throw. Us. A. Bone. We already shelled out money for the lack luster Season 1 BP.

Glad we’re finally getting some clear communication. I don’t mind waiting, as long as I know what I’m waiting for.

Good to hear more fixes are coming. I appreciate you guys giving us frequent updates.

Looking forward to playing Infinite again once the dsync, stability, and balance patch rolls out in the future.

I kinda feel 343 could look at Warframe for an idea of how to set up the shop.

  • Generally most of the items will be available individually.
  • Bundles should be slightly discounted compared to the total of each individual item, combining things like highly popular items with more general items.
  • Some bundles could add an exclusive item to the bundle as an incentive to purchase, but the price should still be relative to the slightly discounted bundle mentioned above.
  • There could be Premium bundles that cost more than usual, but they really have to quality bundles of things, and also include some credits as part of the bundle as well. (Referencing Warframe’s Prime bundles for this)

Also I’m not sure how many ways 343 is considering adding earnable credits, but one idea could be to add something like Bounty Challenges for the week. Have them be separate from the weekly challenges as it pertains to the weekly reward, but each one should have a credit reward upon completion.

Sure your already aware of the community want for this stuff but gonna reiterate just in case:

Heres what I wanna see added as ranked playlists by the start of season 2:
2v2 Slayer
4v4 Attrition
6 Player FFA
4v4 Tactical Slayer
1v1 (Slayer with BRs only OR a limited life round based mode)

Social also needs a few things:
Grifball
Infection
Team Snipers and Shottys
8v8 should make a return for fans of oldschool BTB

Also wanna see a customs browser in the future, proper service records viewable in game (with stats, ranks, etc.), some form of XP ranking system (Halo Reach style or Halo 5 style would work fine), armour core system needs to be scrapped, and Firefight needs to come back some time in the future.

I will give examples to some of these

Coatings/Emblems are crosscore, crossvehicle, crossweapon.

Milestones give us credits
15000 kills gives us 1500 credits

Rank Progression gives us cosmetics
Starts out at 25 levels which require XP to advance. Starts at 35k required and increases by 20k each level.
Each season adds 10 levels

The store is revamped
Special–Any cosmetic items that aren’t in Events or Battlepasses are put here.

Event–Items from past events are put here after the event ends. Further splits into all of the events (I.e. it splits into Fracture/Winter Contingency/Cyber Ops/ect/ect all of those sections contain content from those events. Fracture further divides into the past fractures. (I.e. Tenrai fracture/pass 2 fracture/pass 3 fracture, ect ect) )

Seasonal/Battlepass–Items from the past BPs come here and split into the different seasons (like the events)

A store bundle would contain every single item in the store at that time.
Section bundles include all the content in that section (Special Bundle, Event bundle, Seasonal Bundle)
Subsection bundles would include all content for that subsection (Fracture bundle, Winter Contingency bundle, Cyper Ops bundle, Season 1 bundle, Season 2 bundle, ect, ect)
Bundles would go down even farther, (Tenrai bundle, Season 2 fracture bundle, ect, ect)
Or you can buy every item separately, but the bundles have more content for the price. Bundles are also cheaper if you already have items from that bundle.
Different bundles would include the following: Coating bundle, Helmet bundle, Hip attachment bundle, Weapon skin bundle, ect, ect.

The whales would of course just buy everything, giving MS a big influx of money.

There would only be 4 seasons in the store at one time, 3 would be the latest 3 seasons (i.e. in 2 years, we would have had 8 seasons, 8, 7, 6 would all be in the store, 5,4,3,2,1 would all rotate on a weekly basis)

Same for events. (fractures of seasons 8,7,6 would be the permanent fractures while 5,4,3,2,1 would be rotating)

Special would do the same (special content for seasons 8,7,6 would be permanent at the time, 5,4,3,2,1 would be rotating)

More opportunity for MS to make money and more freedom to the player to buy stuff.

After every battle, your score is transferred to credits (let’s say you got 3000, very high. 1 credit per 150 score That would transfer to 20 credits) then you get an extra 10 credits for every battle won and 2 credits for every battle completed.
For this particular battle then, you would have gotten a 22-32 credits.
If you got 22 credits per battle for 300 battles straight (which is highly unlikely) you would end up with 6600 credits (9600 if you got 32 for 300 battles). With this new store system that would get you a fair amount of content. And if you didn’t like the amount of credits, you could always buy some credits with money. The player wins and MS wins.

For custom battles, your final credit gain is modified by the bot difficulty you are going up against, this is to prevent cheesing the credit system. It would try to remain as fair as the online credit gain

If you bought the campaign (not the gamepass) you would also gain + 10 credits per win and the credit multiplier for score would be 100, not 150. Every battle completed would give you 5 instead of 2. If you got a steady 3000 score for 300 battles, in total you would get (30 for the score, +20 for wins, + 5 for completed battle) 35-55 for 300 battles, that turns out to 10’500-16’500. MS gets money from the campaign and the player wants to buy it to get a good stream of credits to spend ingame.

Add in crosscore and I feel this would be a system that benefits both MS and the players

The season bundles including all of the items should be in another section of the shop, and after a year, four bundles (assuming a season is 3 months) should be combined with a reduced price. These would rotate as well.

Items cost $1 each and bundles are 35% cheaper
Bundle
Helmet
Helmet attachment
Shoulders
Knees
Chest Piece
Utility
Emblem
Backdrop
Coating
Would be $10 for all of those, with the bundle, it is $6 (6.5 rounded down)

Keep challenges and forget performance based XP, since this system would basically be performance based XP

Each challenge has a scaling system, you have basic challenges (kills, assists, play objective, complete matches, win matches)
Get kills
1,2,3,4,5,6,7…
You get the idea, you get a certain amount of XP for every kill, it is like this for everything (complete matches, get assists, ect ect)

The xp gain increases with every level but is different for each challenge. The daily challenge is scrapped except for events, which lets you just log on and play 1 match, get 1 rank.
1 kill would be 20 XP. 2 Kills would 25, 3 would give you 30 and so on.

The event levels have a required XP amount (500 XP) like the seasonal BP. (except for the daily rank up)
Ultimate’s are scrapped as well and instead are turned into a ranking system. There are 6 ranks (Common, Rare, Super Rare, Ultra, Legendary, Premium) In the end, you can choose from your unlocked items the one you wish to have (unless you completed all the challenges earlier in the week.

Common-Super Rare would switch out every week. Ultra would switch out every other week. Legendary would switch out every 2 weeks. Premium would switch out every month. The challenge scaling would be set up in a way so that Legendary is tough to get but Premium is near impossible and would require a lot of grinding. You would no longer be able to grind your way to the Ultimate in 1 day.
So if you got the Premium in week 1 of the month, you can get Legendary in week 2, Ultra week 3 and Super Rare in week 4 and then the Premium returns.

Example:

1500 XP—Common–Common Emblem
2800 XP—Rare–Rare Backdrop
4100 XP—Super Rare–Rare Visor
5400 XP—Ultra–Epic Pose
6700 XP—Legendary–Legendary Chest piece
8000 XP—Premium–Legendary Helmet

1500 XP—Common–Common Keychain
2800 XP—Rare–Rare Coating
4100 XP—Super Rare–Rare emblem
5400 XP—Ultra–Epic Pose
6700 XP—Legendary–Legendary Chest piece
8000 XP—Premium–Legendary Helmet

1500 XP—Common–Common Backdrop
2800 XP—Rare–Rare Visor
4100 XP—Super Rare–Rare Coating
5400 XP—Ultra–Epic Knees
6700 XP—Legendary–Legendary Chest piece
8000 XP—Premium–Legendary Helmet

1500 XP—Common–Common Coating
2800 XP—Rare–Rare Emblem
4100 XP—Super Rare–Rare Pose
5400 XP—Ultra–Epic Knees
6700 XP—Legendary–Legendary Helmet
8000 XP—Premium–Legendary Helmet attachment

1500 XP—Common–Common Emblem
2800 XP—Rare–Rare Pose
4100 XP—Super Rare–Rare backdrop
5400 XP—Ultra–Epic Visor
6700 XP—Legendary–Legendary Helmet
8000 XP—Premium–Legendary Helmet attachment

Those are my thoughts on the matter
To add to this.

Medals would give you XP gain towards the BP but not the weekly ultimate.
Each medal would ranked ranked on the rarity level
Normal=5 XP
Heroic=10 XP
Legendary=15 XP
Mythic=20 XP
If you get 50 XP for 400 battles (which is how many battles I’ve played within 3 months of playing, which is standard for a normal BP)
You would get 20k XP with is 20 levels. And if you completed the weekly ultimate, that would give you 96k. So you can get a total of 116k levels. Are you likely to get that? Nope, so this would let people be putting progress into the BP for more of the season for those who need something like that.
Also. I don’t think I clarified this, you can gain credits/XP in custom games but the income is halved (if a number comes out to a decimal it is rounded up). So if you got 2000 score in a online mode, you would need to get 4000 to match that for the credit income. If you get 50 XP from medals you would need double the medals to get the same amount. Any overrides (except for adding bots) disables your ability to gain XP/Credits.
This allows people who like offline mode to still be gaining progress but stops cheesing the system from happening.

Also, here are some examples of bundles examples for the MK.VII

Knee pads bundle

UA/TYPE MR
UA/TYPE RG
UA/TYPE SA
UA/TYPE SP
UA/TYPE ST

$5 for all, bundle costs $3

MK.VII armor bundle
Armor Kits= 9
Helmets=11
Helmet attachments=19
Visors=27
Chests=16
Shoulders=13
Gloves=3
Wrist=1
Utility=6
Knee Pads=4
Coatings=61

Comes out to $170 for the entire bundle. Add in the bundle’s discount and you get $110

Tenrai Battlepass bundle

25 items

Comes out to $25 the bundled discount is $16

What do you think? Are those fair prices?

Enjoying the game but could i make a few suggestions with respect

A prestige type reward for those who finish the BP and have small rewards that won’t alienate people who don’t do it themselves. Maybe like some emblems or nameplates, just an idea.

On community day. Besides the relatively small % that we’ll have a match for Ice unicorns, could something be given to Twitch viewers? Reward those who show support but can’t play on those days.

Finally, I’d love to see some ODST stuff in the store like The Rookie, Buck,etc, especially armors and styled stuff. Thats a personal request if i had to be transparent.

I am really enjoying the game and i am very glad to be part of the community.

Thank you for all that you do.

Yes! Just what I wanted to see! Thank you 343 for listening to our feedback! Please do not let the Battle Pass for Season Two be filled with XP boosts or Challenge swaps, I want more armor and coatings!
