I think one should be less judgemental about how people earn badges. It does nothing to your experience for them to earn those badges in other ways.
@Stew360I disagree, I think it doesn't matter as someone who is highly skilled may use the default skin anyway and so you will not know until they show their skill. The skin doesn't give any advantage and is simply a different coloration. The medals themselves also do not provide in game advantages and so should not be indiscriminately restricted. Would appear very elitist.
Some of the T1 badges are easily gotten in pvp... Just need to find the right map for a specific vehicle or gear and you're good to go.
I worked hard to get my T1 skins on my favourite weapons but honestly that skin doesnt show I'm a great player... Its just a cosmetic thing that takes time to unlock.
Besides... people were getting T1 skins when the portal xp farms were still running so they also got it unlocked without actually earning it. At this point in time I just want the game to be better so I dont care about the badges...
At this point who bothers about how players earn their medals or weapon unlocks. Really, who bloody cares how someone unlocks their stupid McKay T1 skin. I do not think that other players say “Amazing, look at this player. He has got the XY skin - he must be an awesome player and is my biggest hero”. That is just laughable - as if those medals or skins were worth something.
A game should be fun in the first place - that is why I liked playing the previous titles. And that is also the reason why I refunded 2042 after the beta. This game has more serious problems than medals or skins and the way you earn them.
@Stew360Wrong. Totally disagree.
I paid for a game that was sold as a game to be played my way. It clearly only let's PvP players play with rewards which as a PvE player only I don't get rewards. So I got less of a satisfaction return on my gaming dollars and your play style as competitive should not be catered to over casual gamers who want the experience without the PvP grind.
That's my axe to grind. Because when the new game comes out there is no one left to play unless you play against AI and if the devs would implement a Bf2statistics type mode for PvE players in BF2042 it would solidify the game for a long time to come. What really gets me about this release is the trailer marketing was so good. I went out and bought a 3070 gaming laptop just for this game. I wanted an updated experience from BF2 modded only!!!
Now I play on my old 1060 laptop with older less demanding games and my new laptop is collecting dust.. obviously a poor return on my investment. Hopefully DICE WILL FIX THIS and I can play BF2042 my way in the future. Short term pain for long term gain. Just like my Wall Street trading is now. At my age I don't have the time to make bad decisions and wait 17 years for a good return like BF2 is now with great mods. So please fix 2042 properly for all players.
With the playerbase being so tiny, I don't know why they aren't just doing everything possible to retain what few players they have left. If folks want to play vs. AI every now and then, let us do so with full progression.
What's the worst that happens, we get some medals for guns and a skin? Oh no, I'm sure that ruins the "integrity" if this unfinished, buggy game...uh...somehow.
@edgecrusherO0 But the poor elitists don't like the PvE people earning things the same as them. Good forbid people get full progression across the board, no matter what modes you play.....Just like the game was advertised.
