Not sure if there is a related topic on this already, but this has GOT to be the most GRINDY game out there currently!!
Spent hours on the new Berlin campaign since it opened as Beta, and worked persistently to upgrade all my soldiers and squads. Still haven’t topped out some of my Rank 1 squads, and now have to grind through ranking all of my soldiers AGAIN, now that I’ve unlocked Trooper 2, Assaulter 2, etc, and on and on.
Why they decided on this method for upgrade is beyond me, except that the grind encourages people to buy gold to forgo the grind and buy Premium squads.
Why could they not simply add Assaulter 2, etc as new members of the Assault 1 class?! is it not enough to have to grind for days to unlock the new Squads, just to find that now you have to take them through the ranks AGAIN, and upgrade all the trees AGAIN as well?!?
If this doesn’t get addressed soon, I’ll be bailing on this game to find something with a better progression/unlock/upgrade system.
And don’t even get me started about the BULLSHIT that the Academy is in this game!! Sacrifice 2 other soldiers of the same rank to play Russian Roulette (pardon the pun) for the chance to upgrade ONE of them?!? Ridiculous.
Not really. leveling soldiers its as easy as it gets, as long as you keep rotating them and always have soldiers above level 3 training.
level 1 and 2 soldiers are useless imo.
as a premium user i wouldnt mind harder grinds on the campaign levels atleast… the rest could stay the same.
but that is just me, as my work computer finish the renders that take hours to do, i have plenty of time to play x) oh well…
here as an example, its my current progress on berlin for example.:
all squads are full upgraded besides the flametrower and 1 sniper squad. i dont intend to play with them.
as you see, everything prety much done…
a gentle reminder, there is already a squad with sniper level 3 in normandy, so expect assaulters lvl 3 to grind for 
, so yeah, they will probably come as a new squad, with even harder grinds (i personaly will love that, so i can have something to do since content for me isnt enough to keep playing…)
personaly i would like to see harder stuff to fight for, but i understant not everyone have the time i have infront of a computer.
I’m sure there are some, but not me.
Yet.
The game experience was terrible because endless upgrade and advance
It’s ok so far. It’s not even close to being “the most grindy”. It does feel a bit weird to unlock the same equipment for different campaigns, but AFAIK, the devs are working on a “progress boost” system: if you have one of the campaigns leveled to some high level, you’ll be getting more XP in other campaigns.
Not a “chance”. One of them will definitely get upgraded.
->as a premium user
->I dont mind if the game is much much harder on people who don’t have premium
->because I love knowing that other people will hate the game and permenantly leave just so I have more reason to whale.
No.
“As a retard I’d like harder grinds”
Dude read what you write
i mean the grind isn’t bad for f2ps if they are of some skills, as it stands currently
That’s… not at all how Shiivex’es post reads to me. And I don’t have a premium. What I got was:
→ The grind could be harder, provided the rewards are more substantial, I wouldn’t mind that as a preimum player, but I understand not everyone has the time.
I know that one advances for sure, obviously. What I meant was that the roulette is in regard as to WHICH soldier is advanced, based on RNG. And it seems 9 out of 10 times, if there is a soldier that I really want to be the one to advance, a different soldier is the chosen one. 
Use the academy return orders. I also think the whole academy business is poorly thought-out and hope it’ll change, but at least there is a way to get back the specific soldier, it’s not impossible.
Game is awesome, grind is not bad at all I get something new before I am done enjoying the last upgrade.
Upgrading soldiers is super fast as well with the ammount of bronze being chugged around.
I average 150-350 kills per battle, I would say I am a unicorn. Yet I see my dad quite having issues getting further in game although he plays 6hrs daily with premium. And guess whats worse about grinding; its boring as fuck… like war thunder is boring as fuck if you start new. Its hard enough as it is already, not everyone has the “extras” of getting or wanting premium, especially for a beta game…
It might be my English
But canteen did answer pretty much what I wanted to say a few posts below yours.
Yeah. Game gets boring pretty fast.
Only few ppl like you have this kind of weird thoughts.
Devs must love the players like you.
But we dont like it.
Until this game has more fun and interesting mechanism to relief grinding and progressing issue, Im pretty done with it.
After reaching top campaign level across 2 campaigns, I only play for the BP task.
Now, after really get bored out of this S… I only play 1~3 matches. Then go to steam to play sth else.
BTW, do you think that’s it?
No, Up to Lv6 soldier, Lv5 squads waiting you to grind.
I know… I have too much time since I have to be in front of a computer to do my work…
But you answer my point on the next answer you gave.
With all the money that you spent, not offense, but no shit that it’s easier for you to level up…
Premium account for 14 days managed to get me at level 20 in Normandy campaign for the Germans…
And considering you still use premium squads, they give their bonus as well.
So, the grind is present, and pretty much somewhat of a problem when you start from level 20 to 24.
Endless battles just for few experience and ends up going a lot worse when you will have 40 level plus just to get perhaps an half track of a armored car that should be relatively at starter levels…
I too have many time since Im in summer vacation. I can play at whenever I want. But still Im getting very bored of this after playing 6h per day, 6 day per week in my vacation. This game just dont give me any more fun.
