The New Event Is A Disaster

I’m not making fun of their performance. I’m saying that getting melee kills based on their performance isn’t that outrageous.

still you are calling them out

I know what you’re saying… but it feels weird to call someone out for telling someone that they are better than they thought they were.

This is precisely how I feel with every aspect of this game. They’ve set up this idea of how the game should be played and have punished deviation.

I thought they were gonna tone down gametype specific challenges. Was that a lie? Because I’m not getting less of them, and it looks like you aren’t either. Nothing I want more during an Attrition event than to play quick play over and over again until I get Capture the Flag :angry:

Yea, challenge system is unbearable. I’m having absolutely zero fun. I’m just about to ditch the game. I just wanna play Halo, not jump through random -Yoink!- hoops!!!

I prefer challenges, even if I had

Get 20 Sidekick kills in Attrition
Get 15 assists in Attrition
Get 15 Sidekick kills in Attrition
Get 20 assists in Attrition
Get 5 back smacks in Attrition
Get 25 melee kills in Attrition

Basically kept unlocking the same annoying challenges every time I finished normal challenges, but I like it, because now I’m done and don’t have to keep logging in for 10 days. I can just not play. I almost always finish the weekly in a few hours. Not sure why people complain so much over it.

The worst I saw was 7000 points in BTB, that I had no choice but to skip, because I can’t get into BTB. I did make it into one match, but we had 5 people and the other team had 1 guy, in a Total Control match. It was sad. Felt bad for him.

Big Team is 5v1 now? I guess that makes sense. Compared to that one player your team was pretty big.

The only issue with the new event is the same issue with every friggin event :

HEY 343, CAN WE GET RID OF THE BLOODY UPCOMING CHALLENGES BULLCRAP? JUST LET US COMPLETE ALL CHALLENGES AS A SINGLE LIST

If you are so worried about player retention to the point you need to torture your players then idk, maybe actually give us reasons to stay, like a custom games browser to start off with so we can host our own 8 v 8, 12 v 12, 20 v 20 or whatever. That’s not too hard right?

Yeah I couldn’t agree more here.

I was actually looking forward to this event and thought maybe 343 had learned something. Instead we got the Tenrai progression system. As a casual player I just don’t have an interest in Competitive PvP (queue tryhards who just tell people to ‘git gud’), but the Cyber Event like the Tenrai event is once again locked behind a specific gamemode that I have no interest in playing.

I was even tempted to purchase stuff in the store, but the progression system has just killed my taste to do anything with the event. I don’t understand why we can’t integrate the Daily Progression (we got that in Winter Contingency) and the Weekly Progression we currently have? That’d benefit everyone in this and in future events, and it would still provide opportunity for 343 to make a profit.

My only other solution would be to let us purchase previous events once they’re finished, since my other concern is that these limited-time events will just disappear when they’re done and never come back. Rewards and all. 343 has yet to disprove this (I’m not talking about the Battle Pass, I’m talking about the Event Pass). There is the idea that we’ll be able to purchase individual items in the store… but this has yet to be shown to the community, my fear is this’ll also be limited to 1-3 items per day.

Just sharing my thoughts here. I’m just so sick of games forcing me into a corner rather than giving me options.

No he isn’t. It’s just an observation. Stop being a sook…

I don’t mind the challenges, what I mind is them being locked behind one another. Just let us work towards challenges at our own pace rather than blocking progress until a previous challenge has been beaten, unless it’s something like “get 5 kills” followed by “get 10 kills”, “20 kills”, etc.

While I hate the challenge system and think it is responsible for a lot of grief in this game, this is a good band aid fix. Apex
for example has a lot of challenges unlocked simultaneously and doesn’t drip feed them to the player.

You can just play and take a look after a few sessions regarding what challenges are close to being done.

Just throwing my two cents in the opposite direction, Winter contingency had some cool/realistic military cosmetics and this one is all outlandish/non-Halo stuff.

So tired of people complaining about having to actually work to unlock things. Everyone just wants to be handed cosmetics for free. Big babies

Not everyone has the same opportunity to play so that should be kept in mind when events and challenges are designed. I do agree however that in some instances you should have to put time into the game in order to earn certain unlocks. The capstone rewards fill this niche to some extent, but so far we’ve only seen things like colours and emblems, no actual armour pieces.

Sure. The best way to please everyone is to not have horrible challenges and have the event challenges be separate from the normal challenges. Don’t mix them. There nothing like being forced to play a ton of game modes you don’t want to play for multiple games in order to start working on the Event ones again. Then on top of that actually have fun challenges instead of get 5k score in this game mode or back smack 10 enemies or kill 25 spartans with melee. It’s horrible and it is going backwards. I don’t have time to play every day either, but I also don’t want to spend hours of my time completely dumb challenges for game modes I never play in order to progress the event.

It’s not about doing the work. It’s that the challenges aren’t fun and for a game with bare bones content the least they could do is make playing the game and completing challenges fun.

Sorry if this is somewhere above but since this event runs two weeks are there not technically 20 challenges available to unlock the 10 tiers.

This would be neat! Gain at least 1 reward each day, or have an extended play session to beat challenges and earn more.
