As we know with the recent progression update, the ability for players especially f2p players to acquire new soldiers has been heavily decimated. I have a simple but hopefully elegant solution that would benefit all parties combined and that is to treat the value of ORDERS as they are named. Bronze, Silver and Gold.
Meaning that you can buy any item in the game with any order provided you have enough of them. As an example 10 bronze orders = 1 silver order, 10 silver orders = 1 gold order. Obviously the amount is up for debate for the eggheads but you get my meaning.
Such a system seems simple to implement, its simple to understand, it gives players a way to earn all orders not just silver orders, it adds value to both premium squads and premium accounts therefore it helps monetize the game and it also seems really easy to expand upon for future development needs of the game. What does everyone think?
I hope they fix something. I feel bad for the new players. I’m sitting on 47 soldier orders and 40/50 something silver orders for guns right now from playing since CBT. I wish I could give some to them
If someone at Gajin/DF presented this to the people that actually make decisions….they might be asked “why do you bring me a solution to a problem that does not exist for us?”
For the top executives (of any company) the problem would likely be a recent downward trend of the number of active users and a corresponding dip in revenue/profits”
Coming up with an idea that will benefit everyone is tricky when the development company has already chosen which path to follow. If the inflow/retention of new users plummets, then they might be more receptive. Until then, buckle your seatbelt.
yea, I stopped playing as heavily as I used to, I maxed out normandy axis and was leveling up the other factions a little bit here and there saving up nearly 500 bronze order to spam them once progression on other factions slowed down. but Now I’m stuck with like 40 silver tickets. At most I can probably pick a single faction now and be forced to stick with it + normandy axis. I hate it. I wish I never would of invested in this game. They also screwed with the easy skill leveling system (reroll points from overleveling) and forced a more tedious system (having to check the soldier after every battle to see if they leveled, then remove a level and re grind… just in hopes we will spend money on it…
Same situation here. I been playing real hard until theese changes to attaining new soldiers.
I am now stuck in playing axis moscow against the flying tanks (have you tried to shoot down russian planes on moscow with another plane?) or losing in Tunisia as Italy.
I thought about taking advantage of playing allied on Tunisia due to how unbalanced it is and I got fed up after 20 levels of losing on Italy. But I realized that even tho I have saved every silver badge since I started playing, the ones I gotten from Twitch drops plus the ones from the battle pass I cannot equip the allied tunisia forces when I reach rank 5 due to shortage of silver badges.
So this has killed the game about for me when it comes to trying new sides or new campaigns. I sadly have defended the game vs the pay2win crowd on stream, but this just proved that I have been naive and this also shows that the developers do not play their own game. As some basic math would have shown them how much silver badges you can earn and how many it takes to fill up squads etc.
Fix it, and fix it fast before the game gets branded as a pure pay2win game permanently.
