I just updated my game to 0.28.5, and HOLY SH*T; why did y'all change the Rip Chips for every challenge goal to only 5?! That's insane. Please, for the love of EVERY USER OUT THERE, change it back to a normal amount. This is highly unmotivational.

Apparently “it was a bug” that was never addressed and stuck around for almost a month, with two weekly updates in between the time it started and yesterday. They’re literally intentionally nerfing people and it’s scummy af. I’ve never seen so much floundering from a company. They genuinely flip-flop between wanting to serve the player base and wanting to serve their pockets. There’s gotta be a happy medium for both parties and this one ain’t it. Literally nobody believed for a second when Jeff announced that “it was a bug” because it only got announced after everyone noticed it, rather than actually being a subject of discussion in the patch notes. I haven’t and won’t touch the game until they make their mistakes right. 

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

Already maxed out every box and every zone as well. Don’t really need tix, but a Rip Chips → San Van Bucks conversion would be really appreciated :)

Now there’s almost no point in doing any challenges since some boxes are over 400 rip chips 

How so? You do your dailies and you have enough RC for 4-5 boxes per day. Why do you want more? You think you deserve it? For what? Being a leech?

their going to be losing alot of players now thanks to their greed

No, they won't. I know I will still continue to log on every day. Not because I love the game, but because I have been psychologically manipulated into doing my dailies or suffer the deep regrets of FOMO. I am thankful that instead of being able to blaze through the missions, I now have to sacrifice triple the time to find and coordinate with a despicable e-buddy who can't even communicate and type two words for a whole two hours. 

I absolutely LOVE(!) being forced into COOP, in a game that has no functional multiplayer at all, with glitched and bugged and BROKEN cooperative play. I LOVE losing precious hours of my worthless youth just sitting there staring at blank screens while I wait for party_member_xyz to hard-reboot his **bleep**ing game for the 7th time. I'm not mad at him, because if it wasn't for him, I'd be the one rebooting, or someone else. You need to acknowledge the terrible state of the product and build in a **bleep**ing reset switch combination like start-pause-left-triangle to reboot to title screen or something. I thought I was clever by quickly undoing my connection to take a shortcut to the title menu and then reconnect, but that too(!) causes unforseen issues. It's almost as if the game tries to be as uncooperative as possible by design.

And no compensation whatsoever for all the technical issues and lost hours. Just think about how many thousands of hours of human life time have been wiped from existence due to this game. No, instead everyone got knee-capped and forced into a style of play that absolutely no one asked for. 

PS: This has got to be the worst **bleep**ing forum software I've ever used. Can it really not display more than 5 replies at a time? Do I really have to click "load more" over and over and over and over again until I have caught up with the end of the discussion? Whose terrible idea was this? It's absolutely laughable how this loses out against ancient tech from the 2000s. Absolutely laughable. Pure despair. Overpaid. Incompetence. 

Something I rarely see mentioned is how they secretly lowered the XP from boxes from 50! down to 20 XP.

This is BS because so many people were able to earn the 50xp from opening boxes and now everyone else has to open more than double the same amount to get that xp. Why was this lowered?

it's the devs way of keeping player retention, instead of giving us more to do, it just takes us longer to do what was already there. 

I understand why they lowered the rip chips from challenges(Maybe not all the way down to 5, thats just insane)But even if they decide to keep the lowered rip chips, then on top of getting less XP from the loot boxes themselves. Is just cooked. Someone did the math and its like over 210 days, doing every challenge every single day. Just to get the area lootboxes completed lol.

well if this doesn't already seem like a daily check in mobile game, they're porting it to mobile lol
