| smroadkill15 said: I was referring to not having to complete all metal grinds to complete it. Doing daily challenges and probably 50-75% of metal grinds will do. I have some issues with the game, but the Tour of Duty is the least of my concerns. For someone who plays the game 2-3 times a week, it shouldn't be a difficult challenge to complete. I'm well aware the majority won't complete it. It's for those dedicated to it, just like for any reward system in a game, it's not going to be simply handed to them. I also kinda like the the idea of having a character skin others might not because I put the time in, not because I spent money. So you know, I'm Officer I. Oh I remember Gears 4 season pass. I never bought it because I knew it was BS to begin with. They're doing free map packs and content drops right in gears 5. I personally had way more issues with Gears 4 and how they did everything. I also couldn't even play Gears 4 the last years and a half because the wifi I use it not great. As soon as I got into a gnasher battle with anyone, my ping went up to 200-300, lag insanely, and then lose connection. That is why I didn't even bother playing it. Besides the server issues for ultimate members the first few days, my connection has been smooth. My ping ranges 40-60 most of the time. |
If your rank is Officer I you aren't even nearly half-way through ToD unfortunately.. It takes more and more stars to rank up. It's over 500 stars to General. Completing all the medals is ~250 stars.. Many daily challenges are only worth 1 star, some require stupid stuff like complete 5 hives or kill 120 drones. And you can recycle them for free only once a day.
There's absolutely no way you've be able to do this playing 2-3 times a week. What if you're required a win on specific map but nobody ever votes it etc? And it's not over, after 3 months it's time for another grindfest!
After 3 months we could be grinding for original Delta Squad characters like Baird & Cole.. or characters already in campaign and in game like Clayton & Paduk. How generous of them to add these for free -_-
I agree it's cool to have stuff for the most dedicated players. That's why I mentioned Gears 3. Play and earn, no time-limits and fear of missing out, no system built to make you spend money. Now it's either grind or spend money and grind less.
Funny enough, I don't care about customisation items that much so ToD isn't the worst issue with Gears 5 to me. Not even close. But that's another discussion.
