Suggestion: Add Retraining Points Back

Personally I like most of the changes made. I think that once people settle into them the only issues we will have are with the availability of silver orders and the lack of retraining points.

If the goal with this update was to streamline the experience and remove unnecessary actions, then removing retraining points was a mistake. Doing so takes an unnecessary action (rerolling perks until you get the one you want) and makes it more convoluted, janky, and take unbelievably longer.

I once had to go through 20 retraining points until I got the 75% medpack use speed perk, the only one I wanted. Before, that would just take playing a few games and doing well then sitting there until I got what I wanted. Now with the new update, if I had the same rolls I would have had to play at least 20 games in order to get that perk. This will inevitably lead to a large deal of frustration with the playerbase because this change seems to exist solely to waste people’s time.

There are a couple of options to fix this. If the devs want to streamline and remove unnecessary actions, as they say they do, then the obvious choice would be to let us select what perks we want our soldiers to use without some random gacha game. Removing retraining points might make sense if they did this, because then it would be on us if we chose the wrong perk. If they want to keep the random gacha game for perks then adding retraining points back would be the only way to make that worth anyone’s time.

What do you people think?

I agree with having to choose our own perks, not limit our options.

Besides that I feel like that’s the only downside of the update so far, though those bronze orders are a little overpriced in my opinion.

I’m not sure if I agree. Definitely with tier 2 and tier 3 soldiers yes but with tier 1 I personally think the prices are really good, before it would have taken at least 81 soldiers to make a tier 5, and you weren’t guaranteed to get them in the bronze orders so it would end up being a lot more bronze orders. Now, it takes only around 70 in total to get a tier 5 and there is no randomness to it along with us earning 2x the bronze orders. I think the tier 2 and tier 3 costs are a little ridiculous though.

I think the issue is that now it’s so easy and fast to get 5 star soldiers, that they need to do something to slow down the minmax crowd that’s already creating super-soldier squad builds.

I don’t care for it either, but I fear there must be something to keep people from maxing everything out so fast they get bored and leave. What better options are there?

That’s a very good point, I never considered it that way. I figure people at max levels already had hundreds of orders, it makes sense to make soldiers at those levels cost so much so those people don’t just have nothing to do with the orders.
