So when are we getting a proper progression system to go along with the challenge system? Ya know? like in every other game, like in previous Halo’s? Like what the community wants?
Having a purely challenge based progression system is so wrong, it doesn’t work, and the backlash from this community has proven it.
It NEEDS to change, 90% of the community want it gone, we aren’t happy with it, and now this new challenge system reduces your EXP the longer you play, which is also backwards, most other games (very popular games) usually give you more EXP for playing more, and a multiplier for playing with a team, and they have more conventional progression systems that have been proven to work and not be a complete brick wall of moentisation and progression. So just play 7 games a day and move on, because your “progress” will just stop outside of specifically going for challenges and not PTFO, do the 7 games and leave 343i wondering where all the players have gone.
It’s becoming obvious here that they’re still trying to keep their grind, and cement their type of monetisation, despite these changes already, which are somewhat in a better direction, are still just falling short of what players want, what players need to enjoy the game, if these miniscule changes continue, players will leave in droves to other far more fair and reasonable games without aggressive monetisation and an actually decent progression system.
I’ll give the multiplayer 6 months, after that, the honeymoon phase for most players will wear off and we’ll see who’s gunna put up with 343i’s vice-like toddler grip over their monetisation
Personally, I think the closest to a perfect xp system is just get 10% of your end game score converted to XP. May make games a bit sweaty though but at least it’s steady and decent progress.
Yeah it’s steady, but that doesn’t really solve players not playing the mode and only going for challenges, essentially ruined the game for other players and even yourself because almost all players are all doing different things.
I mean, remove the challenges or make them more generalised and replace it with the suggested xp system. Getting so many kills is fine, instead of a specific gun what if it was a category. So instead of 10 kills with be, just 10 kills with precision. Destroy 3 choppers, to destroy 3 enemy vehicles. Capture 3 flags to 3 general objective points. I dunno, you’re gonna have to do some stuff you don’t like with this challenge system sadly. Only way around it is swap the challenge or it’s a never ending challenge list rather than a fixed amount per week I guess.
I would prefer the accolade system they had in Reach, they weren’t challenges, but more like milestones, and it even had a decent EXP system, go figure.
Jesus, I just borked 2 responses because of this phone.
