I know I posted about adding Medals to XP to help with the progression system, but this is different so hear me out.
There is another reason why medals need to be linked to XP and that is a sense of accomplishment I guess you can put it. let me explain
Going into week 3 I realized something and that is if you grind enough you can complete the weekly challenges by Thursday or Friday leaving Friday to Monday playing the game for what 100 XP per game?
Once I complete the weekly heck I am still enjoying the game but with nothing to really earn I feel like something is missing and even though I enjoy at the end of a match seeing what medals I earned but even that feels empty because getting a grapple jack or a pancake means nothing.
So for the next four days or three days the game is still fun but I feel empty after every much besides playing I have nothing to move forward for, I have nothing to truly accomplish but if you A. link medals to XP and B. create a medal page to show all your medals you have earned and the ones you have not in game I truly believe it will help with the longevity of the game. Yes, you can go to your Xbox profile and check your medals, but it should be available in game on your Spartan profile.
So linking medals to XP is not just about progression but it is also about having fun and continuing the fun even after you complete the weekly challenges.
I watched my roommate and after a match he had over 20 medals and even if using the 10 point per medal more for a harder medal to achieve he would have only made 250 points Thats good but not a whole lot.
