Okay, before boring you: Yes, I’m maxed out as germans on Normandy and I will jump to the conclusion directly, if you bother can you read how I come to it down below:
Every battle should give you spare parts for your weapons, identical to the number of kills you made with it. Maybe with a 2:1 ratio for assists
Why? So, since I’m home until May 3rd and had nothing to do but play this great game, with a lot of potential, I maxed out pretty fast. Even all my squads are equipped already. My Pioneers all got their FG42, their big back pack, one S-Mine, two Med Kits and two Repair Kits and ofc a Walter PP as a side arm. Same goes for my MP-Squad and MG-Squad.
Im almost done with the Season Pass. And now? Well, no there is just nothing more to do.
I could upgrade my weapons! Oh, wait, I already got all silver tokens and spend them, with no way to unlock more.
I could upgrade my soldiers! Nah, way too much micro-management and… I already used all silver tokens to buy the right class directly and no way to get more.
Playing on a new front? Same problem. No tokens left to buy the stuff I need without tedious grinding.
And even I would want to: I want to play with my friend, who is “only” level 17 yet. So unless we get a really intense and exciting round, all I do is sit around, build stuff and won’t have anything to look forward to.
Plus: I have bought two premium packs + premium time + the season pass within the last two months. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not mad, I enjoyed the game so far. But if you sell premium AND a season pass, such a dead-end-endgame is unacceptable.
I know, buying weapons directly won’t go. Also the gambling aspect. I’m not naive. But since it is impossible to get (a shit-ton) enough spare weapons for upgrades even with silver tokens and without a lot of cash, there must be an easier way to work towards weapon upgrades.
To me, a fair and working solution would be, to get weapon parts as rewards after the battle. As I’ve said, a 1:1 ratio for kills seems reasonable, 2:1 for assists. This would be a great motivation to keep playing, look forward to every match and also playing different classes. It would be easy to understand, probably easy to implement and not interfere with any other system.
