Okay, so there’s one suit in the game I want, and that is the Technician Override set. This is literally the only REQ that I care about. And with it being a Mythic item, it could very likely be the very last REQ item that I unlock in the whole game. That puts me at about 500 hours of game time. That would mean I’d have to play 5 hours a day (ugh) for 100 days. And that’s just uncalled for, to unlock two pieces of armor. Take into account all the other stuff you guys are putting into the game, it likely will end up at somewhere closer to 1000 hours before I unlock the look I want for my Spartan. So can we please, in the near future, get an option to buy certain REQs specifically, for a much higher amount of RP than packs? I’d save up 200,000 RP for a chestpiece if needed, but there’s no way I’m grinding 500-1000 hours through this game to unlock one chestpiece that I really like.
As much as I’d like to be able to stock up on items that I actually care about (aka not Mongooses or Boltshots), I don’t think it’s very likely. Part of the monetization and point of the Req system is to make us play/buy way more than we would if we could just choose what we wanted.
It’s annoying, but I don’t expect it to change anytime soon. :\
I think a better idea would be to make the current REQs “pool exclusive”. Want a legendary? Buy only legendary REQs!
Currently, one must “clean the pool” before attempting to get rarer items.
Asking for a specific item would be ridiculous as people would just burn insane amounts of money just for a single thing.

Yes GREAT idea!
Let EVERYONE buy just sniper rifles, SPNKrs, boosts and Ultra / ONI vehicles!
</sarcasm!>
Stupid idea.
Just no.
While buying individual REQs can be handy, I doubt this proposal will see the light of day. Instead, we need separate categories of REQ packs. Standard packs should only give out consumables and weapons for Warzone, while another type of pack should exclusively give out armor and emblems. I would also like to see some armor unlocks tied to game achievements and commedations.
While ideal, it would cut down on profits because there would be no more waste from purchasing and receiving items that you don’t want. This isn’t going to happen.
The req system works just like trading cards and it always will. I will NEVER pay for them.

The REQ system itself was a stupid idea…
I think this would be nice, if it were just for customization items (armor, helmets, visors, and emblems).

DING!
I think he means armour, not the other stuff, which I would completely agree with.
Feel your pain op.
All i want is a scout helmet. A uncommon one.
I got a oathsworn, and a prophets bane. Id trade them both for that helmet.
I happen to like the REQ system.
Big deal, wanna fight about it?

That’s okay, your initialed to your opinion. I like parts of it too, but there are quite a few reasons people have found that damper there experience. Personaly, I would just rather buy the armor with points like in reach, leave the req packs to things that help you in warzone.

As much as I didn’t like Reach’s way of unlocking armor (maybe things were just overpriced imo)
I’d love paying for armor using REQ Points, instead of getting random -Yoink- in REQ packs
REQ System for Warzone is a fun Idea.
Req System for Armour, Emblems, Skins and Assassinations if -Yoinking!- stpid.
I guess it might help the issue slightly if there was an option for cosmetic-only Req packs, so Arena players don’t have to get spammed with Needlers and Mongooses.
While we’re at it, maybe go from the opposite direction and also offer a weapon/vehicle-only Req pack option for people who don’t want to get spammed with 123412 random fugly armors and visors.
But then you might not get addicted to the glorified, somehow legal but still entirely unethical slot machine we call microtransactions!
