Challenges to level up are pretty ridiculous.

I think the challenge system is a nice addition to the game, but probably should've rewarded coins rather than being the only way to level up your character.   A traditional exp system would've been the best route for leveling up.  That being said, I receive challenge skip cards pretty frequently from 20k coin packs and those will help you along with the more annoying challenges.

I'm fine with challenges, as long as they don't effect gameplay. Some of these challenges though, like destroying a teleporter... it's a challenge just to find one, let alone take one out with a sunflower. Or the drone vs drone challenges. I often go many games without a single zombie drone to be seen. Then I'm often in the wrong loadout that needs those drone vs drone kills.

I'd much prefer kill x of each type of plant or zombie to level up. At least then you're doing what you should be doing... killing each other, not doing a scavenger hunt during a match. It's counter-productive towards the goal.

I'm pushing through my early challenges and trying to unlock characters, first. So haven't bought that many 20k sticker packs.

That's what the skip cards are for, if you find a challenge that you don't think you can handle, skip it. The teleporter one is easy though, if you know where they are. Plus if you're fidning that you can't complete a challenge in one session, change classes and work on something else. You don't have to stick with the same class through the whole game.

I don't have skip cards, therefore that point is null. Also, as you said, it's easy... if there is one made. Why would I waste a skip card... even if I had one, on an easy challenge to complete... as long as it's able to be completed.

The thing is, at certain levels... challenges all seem to be similar. So it's essentially bottlenecked at trying to level up all your characters for achievements... all characters at level 5 and reaching rank 50.

Anyways, the point is that the challenges distract you from the objectives of the playlist.

You can pick up skip cards easly in 10k and 20k card packs, if you're playing you're earing coins and can get skip cards. My scientist is level 9 and I didn't have to deviate from any goals to get him there (now all of my challenges are for getting post-game "master" medals...), I generally try to kill teleporters to help the team, or heal/revive every chance I get. Most of the challenges come naturally and those that don't encourage you to play a little differently to complete.

I understand your concern, I personally like them and it gives me reason to play all the classes in ways I normally wouldn't like killing zombies on rooftops and a sunflower, now that takes patience.

This game is really getting to be more annoying than anything. All day long, almost nobody except myself going for the objective to capture and prolong the game. Every noob out there camping and really doing nothing to contribute in G&G. Apparently this has become the playlist for noobs to beef up their k/d.

I find in most games the team usually needs a little bit of "encouragement" to actually go for the objective. After someone starts it off, everyone tends to follow. Though it does get annoying.

The challenges really just take patience. I tend to only play a class when I know I can complete them in that game. If I spawn in as cactus, see no drones - go play another class. Sunflower was totally worth getting to level 10 though, that class unlock!

I personally like the challenges. They encourage me to play in different ways that I might usually do, and help me to focus on practising abilities that I'd otherwise not use.

I haven't seen people ignoring the objectives personally... I would have thought that people realise that the matches last longer in G&G if you focus on capturing the gardens! 😕mileyhappy:

Again, I have no issues with challenges being in the game... just not as a level up requirement.

... and no, just like most other shooters... the game is flooded with idiots that don't understand the concept of the game type.

It seems to be this whole thread is you complaining of how the team is playing, that the Challenges are too hard or any of the above.

Play the game for what's it worth and if you find it 'annoying' then why not put the controller down? Skip Cards are not hard to obtain, I've gotten all of mine in those 5k packs and if you don't have any just try concentrating on something else and that challenge is bound to be completed. I just got my Peashooter to a level 8 and the challenges are becoming abit "woah,' yes, but that won't stop me from playing the game for what it's worth. It's a fun game.
