Re: Thoughts on liquidators event (from community)

@SCUBASTEVE120 Don’t buy the skin man! That’s why they keep doing this garbage, because people get sucked in. 1 more season and they’ll abandon the game, what few players still playing will move onto the next game, and you’ll be out of picket for a skin you’ll never use. It’s your call of course, I just think if you rears their behavior it empowers them to do it more.

    Yeah, this "event" was a total bust for me, not fun, too grindy, rewards are meh at best

    The lag and hit detection in this game at the moment is just horrible and wildly inconsistent just as I predicted, this event simply highlighted all that for me.

    @Ironhead841hard to believe it has been anything but a bust for everyone. It was basically a Featured Experience, which they have already had, with the majority of the new content behind the paywall. The assignment for the 4 earnable items was lazy, earn X amount of badges in Tactical Conquest. That is going to keep people coming back? They could've easily just said play this mode for X amount of hours or earn X amount of XP; it is basically the same thing and not interesting in the least bit. 

    It looks like what is left of the player base didn't really care for it. Somehow, the player count has dropped and is now lower than the week prior to the event. We are slowing bleeding back down to late Season 1 numbers where hardly anyone is playing. My first round is always Defender on BT in progress, normally near end of the match. I then get thrown into an empty lobby and have to wait for players again? It still makes no sense to me.

    @ATFGunrO trust me normally I would never waste 1 cent on cosmetics. I bought s1 battle pass ($10) and each season will earn enough to buy the next season because ill always reach battle pass lvl 100. So I had a bit of extra right now so I got just that on skin for 500 boins. Still have enough boins to buy s3. I would spend a bit of money to help support the game but with them ignoring the playerbase on certain areas I won't. For example: my topic about the MCS 880 being broken on PS4. It's just keeps getting ignored.

    @Adamonic I think the 16vs16 is much better. The way it plays on these small maps would be ideal. My wish would be for maps like ziba tower were return but I don't like to get my hopes up. As much as I love bf3 I try to erase it out of my mind cause those days are gone. I mean just playing canals on 2042 depresses me cause I'd rather be playing it on bf3 not 2042. I'd rather more new maps than any old ones brought back just because of that. I liked bad company 2 but don't feel the same way so I enjoy playing arica harbor as often as possible

    @SCUBASTEVE120 I saw later that you could get it for boins, which isn’t real money so you’re not rewarding Dice for their bad behaviour 😂😉

    @ATFGunr Ya by the end of year 1 I would've had probably 1200 or 1300 extra boins on top of only buying season 1 pass for $10. I just spent 500 of those would be extra boins now cause I like the skin and I still have 1100 boins so I can get season 3 pass free. As long as you always reach battle pass level 100 you can always buy next season plus some extra. I don't mind this new system. Lot cheaper than the premium days which was $70+

    @SCUBASTEVE120the premium had given us more new content overall though. More new guns, more new maps


    I also preferred the Premium Pass, I actually thought it was value for money, when you got 4 brand new maps etc every 12 weeks it really refreshed the game.

    My fellow steam stat watcher!

    Yes I've been monitoring the steam stats and indeed the Tactical Conquest mode did not bring more players back and it's even less this week, currently sitting at 3 low and 5 high.

    Like you say, it's heading back to pre season 1.

    At this rate, the idea that this game gets any meaningful support post season 4 is looking low.
