#Holy Mother of Grind...

I can't be the only one to think this, but adding so much long term progression (aka grind) to a game this far along in its lifecycle has to be a deathsentence. Are we also getting a progression reset? How much of what we've grinded for will count towards these new systems? If It's a complete reset, I'm out, 100%... and guaranteed many more are too. After 104 hours I only have ~3500 kills. Having mastery skins that require 10,000 kills on a single gun at my rate is somewhere around 300 hours using just 1 weapon... That's insane. I thought the point of this game was to be better than those games, not worse...

The new grinds honestly will just suck the fun out of it for me as they're too long term.

What new grinds is this in reference to? I am inferring it the weapon mastery camos but, want to be sure.

Weapon mastery camos is the big one, but the game already has an insane amount of grind for camos as is. They're also adding in other grinds and given the track record so far, I'm not confident those will be any better.

What other grinds are you referring to?

Charms, attachment variants, etc. Watching through Camikaze78's video he just dropped and at the Weapons & Gadgets section.

!update Here a link to the source of the information from that video. We do not have any specifics on the unlock requirements of the charms and attachments but, they have commented on the inclusion of systems that take less to grind.

I've already prestieged once, the idea of using a single gun for 2/3 of the time I've been playing so far just to get a copper skin is insane.

I personally agree the master chain camos are tuned waaay to high for 99% of the player base. However, those are only the mastery chain, there are lots more skins than just them. The other thing I want to call out is, the additional things that might look like a "grind" will in theory be able to reduce the grind. They are going to track things like, getting kills over x meters, or gadget kills which means they can make it so things unlock with something other than "Get 3,000 kills" or "Be level 175".

#

Until we see it, i always advise being cautious, but we have no indication right now that the things they are changing will all be like the mastery chain. Infact, I have the impression they are making things eaiser, but thats based on things like.. the scope cosmetics will share their kill progression. So you use a red dot on any gun, you get credit with it kinda thing.

Part of the reason I got into the game was the speed/frequency of progression vs games like CoD/Battlefield at first, but at this point it feel more and more like a chore and I worry that this update will make it even worse. The attachment system, after reading through it in more detail, does seem to be a step in the right direction.

Fair enough. I am going to wait and see as, we have so few details its hard for me to make a judgement anymore. I would encourage you to wait to see what we get whenever the patch finally releases.

#

A suggestion thread to change, something, prior to the changes even being released though is going to be tough to discuss too much. Good luck BBRwave

When devs make announcements about intended changes, all we can do is take them at face value.

At least last we heard, and other cosmetics will require stuff that isnt strictly "Kill X amount to get skin"

#

Also 99% of progression to our knowledge wont reset, only one that we know is that said mastery skins, except copper, will be gone unless you have them equipped on your gun

#

Like jigs said many requirements are being lowered for the next update and as they have stated they wont take ages to unlock

#

I mean new requirements for mastery camos is a good one, new copper will take 500 kills less, silver 4000 kills less
Gold is the odd one out in this case, but its still 9000 kills less in theory
(New 10k skin is just there for the ones that are insane enough to do it so shrug )

Without ETA this all conversation is waste of time. Good luck having something to play at all, once last hopes about update evaporate.
