Halloween Event Improvements
What would make the event better is if it actually allows players to form teams like it's the walking dead. Essentially if you find someone who you don't want to kill, you could become a squad and actually ping; and even allow quips in this mode.
Another idea is in the final 10, allow everyone to actually work as a team. Right now it's just like, whoever gets to the evac ship, gets there.
Another improvement would be using Legend Coins for the packs.
The last event blew up because people didn't like paying 300+ just to get the axe for Bloodhound. No one is going to have 36k or so crafting materials, like the purchase option is an honest laugh.
Our options are:
- 700 for a random item, and only 1 item, sure it's cheaper
- crafting materials we don't have
- the individual item price
If the Legends Tokens could be used instead, people could actually get the items. I know for Respawn, this means less money, but the thing is; people aren't cash cows. I personally see 1800 coins okay for a skin, but 1000 would honestly be better.
If Legends Tokens can be used, make them the same price as the crafting, or maybe slightly more. Like if one is 800, the Legends Token could be 1600. If anyone is like me over level 100, we have a lot of Legends Tokens.
The current use of these tokens is essentially unlocking new legends and getting weapon skins from the store. But for the store, you MUST buy the first item or own it by getting it from a pack.
My point is, Legends Tokens could be used to save people money, and stabilize the issue people are having. I know Respawn needs money, but over pricing or going "you can use 700 coins instead" isn't the best way to keep players.
Be similar to Fortnite, price skins well, and place a select few in the actual shop, allowing most event items to be obtainable without really paying. Having 99.9% locked behind a paywall isn't a good idea.
Another thing is adding challenges that lets us get crafting materials.
There are bugs as well, as posted everywhere; the 20 kill badge is obtainable by killing shadows and players. As well as if a legend kills you (a shadow) right before the timer ends and no one escaped, you (a shadow) lose even if the shadows won that match. Since you're dead and respawning, you somehow don't get a winning credit.
With people escaping, it makes sense those who don't make it to the evac ship doesn't win, but it says "legends win" when at least one gets on the ship. It's just confusing.
The case in point here; Please actually allow us to obtain things without paying. You won't have to make it 100% free, just avoid making people pay for everything. I know we are already getting "free" battle pass items, since it's $10 to get them all, VS their actual cost. It just be nice if things were more reasonable.
