Re: Rip Chips in new update

Been a playtester for over a year now with easily hundreds of hours logged, currently at 85 hours on Steam with 19/21 of the achievements unlocked and level 10 across all three map locations; even broke down and bought this awful season pass and a few shop items with my measly leftovers but after today's update I'm officially done with the game until the rip chip changes are reverted. Out of all of the problems this game is currently facing, punishing the few people sticking around to actually grind it out in the hopes that some day this is actually a playable, somewhat decent game is just embarrassing. You have in one single update killed what little endgame "progression" you had. I've been unfortunate enough to unlock every single box that you have except for the final box in each three map sections where the rewards are goofy titles no one wants to have next to their name and hundreds of recolors of the same 5 props so the menus lag even harder when I scroll through them. Sick. But now, even if I wanted to I can't finish those final 3 boxes out without playing endless amounts of hours of the exact same missions each day...to what, to get the opportunity to call myself the "Skate Shawty"? What are we doing here? People have been soft locked in tutorial island or on various missions for over a month now, missions aren't registering as completing after you do each challenge and if you dare to try and play co-op, the game decides to just not recognize certain people in your party are doing a challenge with you, not giving you the extra crumbs they toss you for bearing through getting your friend's character to fully load in properly. And you're spending your time cutting the rewards not in half but down to 1/4th of what they were before today? I've been rooting for this game so hard for so long, it's such a mechanically enjoyable game when you push past the "it's just fortnite skate" allegations but it's become fully indefensible after today's update. I won't be finishing out the last 500 or so rip score I need to hit 11k, I won't be unlocking any more of the cookie cutter skate-o-ween rewards, I simply see no reason to at this point.

    ahh Pf1,

    Interesting take if I must say myself that probably the burnout from the playtest is really what might be shining through. These really are probably how at least half the player base is feeling as I would say you are one of the lucky ones being able to see that game before its current state. -note: backend developers are probably currently unaware of what happened in the first place with them early on.

    Not sure from not having really been a part of the big wave of early access titles over these latest decades but the game is in a state where if you are looking for the game hunter type achievements, then I'm not sure here. It does seem like when it comes to scratching the surface of the game, you have absolutely beat the game in a sense. 

    From a progressions standpoint most people at this point probably couldn't even comprehend the amount of sheer reliable advice you could give from all the testing, but I didn't really give the playtest full reliability testing but did some minor improvability functions from a mechanical standpoint of input devices and such.

    Sounds like you might put it on the shelf and see if maybe you can dust it off sometime or maybe watch some gameplay until you see that it meets what you have seen in the testing period. glhf

    Cheers, KF
