Well, that's a separate issue. In my opinion map missions should have had better rewards and greater rarity. At least we had the freedom to create our own map and invite friends, for the missions. Now we don't even have that.

Maf you took the words out of my mouth. :P Not very necessary but it would be cool to see! :) It would actually be nice to start that way for clan wars. Put physical garage openings in each spawn zone and as soon as the timer counts down, the tanks for each team come out of the garages. Now THAT would look pretty cool.

At this point we're ready to vote RIDDLER in as unconditional head development coordinator. Next V-log, what will they say? "Some players were not too happy"? ROFL. Understatement of the millennium. In my previous posts I explained the negative effect on every single player, drugger or non-drugger, buyer or non-buyer. I'm not going to bother to repeat that again. All I can say is that it does not have one single positive effect. Not even for the devs! Have you ever seen this many players leaving before? They were all potential customers.

No. :mellow:

Under normal circumstances they would be happy. After "Patch Update Stupidity" - not so much.

Well, thanks for the sales. I think that they will introduce more sales as April Fools gets closer, and surprise us. Unfortunately I cannot say I am happy. Even a 50% sale on everything would not make matters better. #StopMissionStupidity

40 pages of pure hate in a day. That's an absolute RECORD. Notice how Cedric and the devs are hiding? ;)

In a normal battle: Drop box missions: people taking RK with full health, going for DA with no health, etc. Finish first: Isidas not healing the player in first, other players not supporting him to hope they pass him in score. Capture points: People letting the enemy get the point so they can re-capture it. Capture flags: People deliberately blocking the flag-carrier so they die, and then they can pick up the dropped flag and capture it. These missions were MEANT for pro battles. Not to mention that pretty much everyone has a lower crystal/xp ratio now. What about "effect on the economy", that phrase the devs like so much? P.S. If I join at the beginning, I almost always finish first. But what about those high-ranked players that don't have enough supplies to compete against M4 druggers and play pro battles for precisely that reason? Do you WANT to encourage multing?

You know, we don't all have personal Isida servants. ;)

Missions can only be completed in standard battles now. I know. :mellow:

At it's heart, this update is UNFAIR. It's unfair to the non-druggers, because they are forced to play with druggers if they want to earn crystals. It's unfair to the savers, because daily missions were their main source of income. Now they cannot earn enough income to buy kits and equipment at the unlock rank. It's unfair to the PRO battle players, because they must endure boredom and missions become a chore. It's unfair to standard battle players, because people will be fighting over drop-boxes, and sabotaging the player in first, to complete missions. It's unfair to the strong players who do not want weak mission-mults and non-druggers with bad equipment on their team. It's unfair to the weak players, because those that play in standard battles are those that can afford it. The weaker players need to save up from PRO battles so they can build up supplies to compete. It's unfair to xp/bp players who really, really, cannot play in standard battles. It's unfair to normal, casual players, who stuck around day after day because of missions. How on earth and in the reaches of the universe was completing missions in PRO battles a "loophole"??? The amount of crystals you get from missions is the same whether you do it in 5 minutes or 5 hours. Even for a player that does no more than their missions each day, they can barely afford as much as even a weak buyer, at the cost of not ranking up fast. Solutions: 1. Decrease mission rewards completed in PRO battles by 30%, increase them completed in standard battles by 15%. 2. Decrease prices of everything, because you've just slashed most players' source of income. In addition, in standard battles they are less competitive, which means they will not only lose mission profits (completing "finish first" missions) but get less of the battle fund. 3. Increase battle funds.

Now I, Captain, can play with Legends. :mellow:

The rank bar and garage don't show up, and I can see from the chats that a lot of people are having this problem.

No, because everyone will be upgrading their M2s as fast as they can, given that there's no point in waiting. I know. I was explaining why it would be unfair if it did. Still, many have done it the current way.

Yes, it is. However, at least they can go further from there. In addition, M4s are much more expensive, and the players that spent millions to get them would not like to see everyone with just as good equipment as them. Think of how you would feel if you spent 984k crystals to get an M4 right before this update.

It's actually quite hard to get those speed boxes in a busy map. Add to that the fact that much more players will be collecting drop boxes in standard battles now. How does that improve gameplay? If you ask me, those kinds of missions are meant to be completed in PRO battles.

There's already a topic like this, called "What does your nickname REALLY mean?"

If only. :lol:

No, it's fine, actually. If they reduced the price for M4s it would be completely unfair to players that spent over a million to get to M4 before.

The price is the exact same. If they reduced the price for an M4, then yes, it would be quite unfair to M4 players. But the price remains the same.

*cough* drugs *cough* 1. So they might as well remove that mission, 2. Save up supplies to get supplies. What if we do not have supplies? What if our only supply income is the missions themselves? Then how do we get out of the loop? 3. I'm only a non-buyer on principle. 4. Good luck with that. What it comes out to is that you are suggesting that if we do not have enough supplies to compete, we join the losing team. Now THAT does NOT help balance.

How are you to complete a "Finish first" mission in a battle without drugging, against M4 druggers? And then, if you can't complete the mission, how are you to get the drugs or crystals to buy them/upgrade to M4?

Keep your gender private and nobody will bother. :mellow:
