The Spartan's Armory REQ Pack...Not Enough Time.

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

So…it has 16 items.
“No it has 14!”
No…16…
Unless you already had the 343 skins…16 items. (see lower down for the 8 sets)
Meaning you needed at least 4 packs.
320,000 REQ points.
Over 3 days.
100,000 RP per day.
343…I don’t want to call you money grabbing.
But when you consider we need 4 packs and you’re selling them too it’s hard not to.
Honestly…and now that it’s gone (or is meant to be)
I only had time to grind out enough points for 2 packs and a half…
That was after selling all my REQs.
So now, I’m left here…with a hole in my collection which I can’t fix.
And the REQ pack is gone.
Thanks 343.
What am I saying?
We weren’t given enough time and it feel like 343 may be trying to get as much money as they can.

More details!

320,000 RP in 3 and a half days (ish).
That’s 84 hours.
Say we spend…a third of that asleep. (prepare for this)
(84/3=28…28*2=56)
56 hours…
Let’s say…3 hours are spent cooking food…and 2 hours eating…
51 hours.
Let’s be honest…and say we spend ~5 hours waiting for a friend in a lobby…or finding a game. (7 hours if outside the US!)
46 hours.
Bathroom breaks / showers etc.
~5 hours.
41 hours.
Do you see what I’m getting at?
We weren’t given much time.
Say we had 42 hours left at this point. 50% of the actual time we had.
That’s 7620 RP per hour.
Warzone Assault grants ~8000 RP / hour
Warzone (normal) grants ~6000RP / hour
So unless you’re grinding out assault for 3 days…it’s gonna be hard to get.
We didn’t get enough time.

All the REQs in the pack.

1- UNSC
2- Fireteam Osiris
3- ODST
4- Sharktooth Grin
5- Spirit of Fire
6- 343i
7- Blue Team
8- Noble Team

you know they wanted you to buy it though, right? they only had the option to spend reqs getting it if you really wanted to get 1 pack

3

Not enough time, and not enough value in the actual pack.
I’m letting this one slide and hope that these skins will be released with future updates. (e.g Noble skins with the Reach update)

Seems like they just wanted people buy it, unless if you’re in the extreme minority of people who could actually spend RP on it.

Fairly sure everyone knew they were going to do the skins earlier than Friday. I was already sitting on 300K+, as were a lot of the people I play with.

It’s pretty -Yoinking!- simple people. 343 has a system that rewards you for playing the game. You play the -Yoinking!- game, you get -Yoinking!- req points, which you can use to get cool -Yoink-. You don’t play the game, you don’t get -Yoinking!- req points, you don’t get cool -Yoink-. How difficult is that to understand? You want the cool -Yoink-, then -Yoinking!- earn it. Some people don’t care about armor, skins, and other stuff… So they don’t try to earn them… But if you’re one of the people who wants the cool -Yoink-… Then stop -Yoinking!-, and get off your -Yoink- and earn it.

If you buy it, then cool. You want me to do the math?
Each pack is $10, in each pack there are 5 cards… Meaning each card is $2. If you’re not willing to spend $2 on a weapon skin, then don’t buy it!

It was announced that the req packs were coming out about a week ago if I remember right, i’ve been saving for them for about a week, they gave you enough time to save points but you probably just didn’t pay enough attention to it if you didn’t notice when they announced it a week ago.
