What it says on the tin. Every single objective game I have played today and yesterday has had people doing more challenge hunting than objective playing. It’s making it so I don’t even want to play because it ends up just being me and a couple of other people in BTB or just myself sometimes in Arena actually playing the objective. This is not something that can wait weeks to be corrected this needs fixed asap or it’s going to drive people from even wanting to play the game because they don’t want to have to fight against the challenge system ruining team play. I just got done playing a stockpile game where 8 of the players on my team were off playing slayer trying to hunt for kills with weapons instead of grabbing the seeds and I had to watch the entire enemy team crush us because people just ignored the objective and when I tried to organize in chat people said they were just challenge farming.
Is this the game that you set out to make 343? One where great gameplay is sabotaged by a progression system that asks the player to not play the game? I can’t imagine this is what you want. so fix it. not in 6 months not in 3 weeks. It needs to be fixed before the end of the month or you don’t have a game you have a chore list with good gameplay.
