Marshall portrait (the greatest accomplishment in a seasons pass is the highest rank yet has the worst reward) You would think it is not that hard to make a singular one each BR round instead of 90 days of the same crap 3 years running.
Name change orders (Seriously the most worthless item in game)
Squad change orders (limited and only useful if you are too stupid to get it right the first time)
semi useful
4. Appearance orders (Sorta useful if there were not 10 different maps x 4 factions need each guy to have a different set of clothes)
useful
5. Perk upgrade (Useful for engineers, mortars and flamers)
6. Weapons upgrade order. (This is useful = about 4200 silver)
7. Vehicle upgrade orders. (The most useful since it can be 20k for a top tier upgrade)
Very useful
Exp booster 50%-500%(300%) I made 21k on a match.
misc
9. portraits (We all love a good portrait) so many great ones and enough have been released that people have a lot of options.
What we lost as the most useful thing
8. Gold Orders The one we lost and the one that REALLY pisses everyone off is Gold Orders. I am so thankful I was playing when they were around. It allowed you to play with good equipment outside of the insane grind.
honorable mention selling your exp for a pittance then spending it on an over priced low return casino scheme.
If you mean “free” by grinding 2-3k of silver per 30 minutes of play (If you are good) then not really sure it is “free” its free as in the game is “free” but it has a shit ton of microtransaction making it not really “free” but “free” enough. I do not mind spending 30$ a year on the game even though its “free”. Time is not “free” people just decide to spend that time playing this game (like myself with 83 days in). I would say only if I used that time to learn guitar! “I did!” I wish that I had the almost 2k hours into music instead of one FPS.
A good percentage of the “rewards” are absolutely undesirable.
And even though some have more use than others, once squads are properly kitted and used vehicles upgraded, the vehicle/weapon upgrade orders become undesired.
It really is ridiculous that the award for achieving max rank is a meaningless portrait.
Weapons and vehicle upgrades save a ton of silver at the higher tiers. I think BR tanks 3rd star is north of 20k (Its been awhile everthing I have is upgraded). They should ditch the name change and replace it with 2% higher chance at these other rewards because they are practical. Try arming up a full 3 star tier 4 assault squad with maxxed tier 5 weapons it runs north of 10k-15k per soldier when you factor in everything. I can’t imagine the resources this took. I had this same level of grind across all my factions.
Just got gold box log on award. Same has any other award lol. Most of us are adults that play. We dont want pretty pictures, stickers or ballons for rewards. Devs know this. There have ben many that posted on it. Every mod know this. They read every post on it. There reaponse is a yawn. Why there has been many polls and calls for some devs to step down and be removed. Just poiting that out, not in any rule violating.
When the player’s rank reaches the highest rank of Marshal, the rewards should include not only the avatar but also some additional rewards that the player can actually use, such as 5 boxes.
EVERY order should be sellable…you eventually get to a point where you don’t need them anymore. Decals included…good thing they don’t cap them in the Silver Chests or I wouldn’t have been able to get 6 sleds and 9 Rudolphs cringe!
It’s almost like we had a place to pick weapons for different nations and BRs that we like using everytime we won a Willy Wonkas golden ticket…
Good thing they got rid of that store…it was really causing problems to the player base by being allowed to choose.
On the bright side, I got to spend 2.8 million on Silver chests this last round to get 3 old event squads…only 9 to go!
actually useful when you want to experiment with different squad setups. when grinding squad first time, you can be focused on maximizing xp gain, but when you have grinded everything having different squad setups can be useful
must have for soviets… meh for other nations…
well depends on how many weapons/vehicles you already have and if they are upgraded. if you already have all vehicles that are upgraded to max, then vehicle upgrade order is useless. same for weapons order.
The squad change orders are not really stupid I misspoke on that. Especially since I am absolutely guilty of switching things around after the fact. I run two engineers on my mortar squads. Different nations have different setups like machine gunners on Japans APC versus assaulter spot or radio man.
For me it would be Germany everyone has to look coordinated, Russia as well everyone has armor on and I am big fan on the black helmet with the Soviet star., armor and black gloves. Japan is limited I go with the beach look and change the helmets.
I am always expanding main squad types so I can switch out BR’s with the click of a button so they are always useful. Weapons can get expensive at the higher tiers.
The can fix the gold order debacle by opening up a free event squad slot. I would provide an amazing amount of squad variety. Most of the time I never play them because my regular squads are just fine.
They would even mix the gold order choices up. When I started Condors and Stingers were in the shop. There were also a ton of really good vehicles for every faction that saved a massive amount of squad grinding.
I really hate some of those decals but what burns me the most is specific camo. Its like PZ 4 xyz not the entire series of tanks. That is beyond lame.
Wouldnt put them in garbage tier. I own a lot of squads and sometimes switch squads for presets. It plays a role for experimenting or BR1 since many of my old squads had gunners which cannot use LMGs in BR1.
I also had the case where I had to adjust my Italian and British squads after we finally got the ability to switch nationalities.
Body armor still is body armor plus minus helmets so a special case for Soviets.
How is that usefull? Depending on your playstyle you can easily unlock the levels. Maybe for Tier 3 and 4 soldiers.
If we include events…
Event Tickets for Guns, Meleesn, Vehicles, and Squads. And of course guns, vehicles, and soldiers/ squads.
Decorations, paint jobs, and such for vehicles.
Clothing for soldiers.
That would be a whole other beast but I thought about including them but it is so crazy varied. How would you rate a cosmetic versus an amazing weapon or squad? This is more of a basic view. I misspoke about the squad order because I have needed a handful in the years I have played. I needed a few awhile back to go two engineers on my mortar squads.
You still have to buy the body armor 6-9 guys per but I still have a ton of them.
I got more clothing orders than a charity giving out losing Superbowl team T-shirts in Africa. This picture is how I feel when I get a name change order out of a chest.
cringe!
