More orders, less grind

We all know that Free 2 Play games in the end, end up costing more, than the games that are Pay 2 Play, it’s an illusion of something being free, of course, there are those that won’t pay anything.

As a F2P player, grind is too much.

Not only there’s a campaign grind, then the soldier grind, and the worst of all, orders grind.

I have already pretty much sent to rear almost all soldiers that I had, I’m just trying to get max stat 1 star. After oppening around 100 orders, all I got was 7 - 6/6/6 Trooper 2, 6/6/6 being max skill at a rank 1. Since my teams at the moment require 61 soldiers, do the math.

Why did I stop caring about the academy? 5 minutes, 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours… hell no. I had multiple 5, etc., but it takes too much time, in the end it’s a lottery like everything in this game, a loot box simulator. You waste a lot of time, and get a rank 5 soldier that can’t even be customized to how you want, so you start again…

Same applies to weapons, XXX figure of orders spent, all that only on Moscow.

Do I even need to start how rare silver orders are?

Maximizing a campaing, will easily require XXXX, a thousand, or thousands of orders, just for one campaign, and a lot of hours of grind on top of that.

Games like that are rare, I’m grinding Normandy now, because I have a premium squad, which helps, but still, 3/2, etc. is a joke. Half an hour wasted for what? For couple garbage orders that will most likely give me a weapon, and a soldier of similar garbage quality?

Even if I do my best, and end up 1st in the table on Moscow, I mostly get 1/1.

Do the math again.

Just saying…

One last thing, I quit a lot, because I play to grind, and grind is time, therefore earning the most points is the most important for me. I instantly quit when I see certain maps, etc., shame I get no fun from the game, none. Grind, feels like a job, wake up, grind, go to sleep, wake up repeat.

I wonder how long will this game work, with such DEV attitude? I could care less about the campaign grind, but orders should be faster to earn, and soldier orders even faster, with complete rework of perk system and academy, less variables, less grind, less frustration.

Endless circle of grind. We grind levels, to be able to grind better squads, so we can grind more soldiers to grind better weapons.

And we grind.

That doesn’t exactly sound like “DEV” attitude.

Also, I’m not entirely sure I understood what’s your strategy with soldiers orders and academy, but something in your description sounds off. I think you may be doing something in a VERY inefficient way.

I just try to play the the game without thinking about stuff i’m supposed to grind for and take them as surprise when I finally unlock them. This is not always esay, especially when you are about getting the MG34 on moscow, but works most of the time. :slight_smile:

Didn’t get exactly what you meant.

But i have 92 soldier in reserve on Normandy campaign as Allies average star level i guess 3.5.
Now i play Berlin campaign as Allies 67 soldier in reserve and average star level 2.5

On Normandy i have few max level weapon from disassemble/upgrading it also in Berlin and my order looks like this ATM and i haven’t had a battle pass at all.
Berlin

So i think you get them more than enough without buying a battle pass.

This honestly sounds like you should stop playing. You sound like an addict who doesn’t even want to do drugs but has to anyway even if they bring him no enjoyment. Do something else.

It was not a coincidencem that my most advanced and equipped soldier got the name “Grindmaster” via namecard…Berlin campaign is way leveling up slower that I imagina…way slower than Normandy…
Now my premium account is close to time up (around 2 days) and i still only lvl 20 :smiley:
“I played a lot, I swear Gaijin, i beg you…mercy…” -----> no no, thats enough from jokes.

You mentioned silver order…yeah, they are pretty rare without Battle Pass
You guys remember that, when we didnt get silver orders via achievements? just a few of them and done, no more…thats was a rough system I admit. :frowning:
Now i have around 200 silver troop order, and I keep them for future Berlin updates. Thanks only for Battle Pass (Current and previous)

Except they can be customised.

Long text, short answer.
I agree. Stopped investing in game.
Hope for better times.

He sounds like someone who wants this game to be success. Who want to love this game…
And then came Gaijin.

I can feel him/her…

If you’re playing it that much consider bulk buying 3 months of premium and the elite battlepass. Solves half your problem.

The other half is soldier selection level up process sounds pretty inefficient. My method is to focus less on one star soldiers I scrap most of those just for efficiency.

For tier 1 soldiers of any type I recommend building up a surplus of rank 2 and 3s so you can then use them as fodder in a 2 to 1 ratio with their tier 2 counterparts.

So for example in academy I’ll put 2x tier 2s and 1x tier 1 soldier = 66% chance tier 2 soldier rank 3

One of the reasons i dont buy premium, so iwont feel the need to play just for grinding
