Are missions a burden to you?

[PurpleNurple]

I don’t do the missions anymore, but that’s only because i’d rather pay the 10$ for a merc than grind the credits for it. I’d rather play what I want to play than do the missions.

Personally I just dislike the netc missions, I think we’d be better off with missions you can do with almost ever merc. Support xp, objective xp, combat xp, headshot kills, etc

Yeah I like these sorts of quests. Types of xp, play this game mode, etc. No competitive or merc-specific stuff please!

While I’m not a fan of those missions, if you remove them then we will be just a step from completely removing missions. You could just replace XP missions with a flat conversion: XP * rate_for_xp_type = credits. All this capped to ~2000-3000 credits in 3-hour windows to keep earning rate the same.

Also I’ve been getting abnormal amount of missions for mercs that in free rotation at the moment. Maybe I’m just an outlier, but maybe SD tweaked the RNG juuust a little

I was thinking earlier that maybe smaller missions that re-rolled much quicker could work. So ones that are easier but net you less, for instance “Get 800 support XP - 150 credits” and it re-rolls every 30 minutes instead of 3 hours so you can abandon ones you don’t want without totally losing out in that play session.

I haven’t done the maths but it could in theory be scaled to match a similar amount of credits per 3 hours as the current ones.

That’s…exactly how missions work…already…?

No. Right now you need to earn specific type of XP to get credits. If mission were replaced with a system I explained in my previous post, you could get credits by doing whatever you like. So to get 2k credits you could get 25k combat XP, or 15k support XP, or 20k game mode XP, or ANY combination of those (numbers loosely approximated from current missions).

(Not that I endorse such system.)

[Jurmabones]

Sorry, I expressed myself poorly. I didn’t mean to say they have the precise system you described in place. Just that they already obviously have some sort of way to equating an amount and type of xp to another amount and type of xp to take roughly the same amount of time and will earn the player the same amount of credits.

[MarsRover]

Yeah. But when Phoenix gets released and you want play him but the RNG gave you 2 Game Mode XP missions you’re gonna have a much harder time than if you could earn credits with any XP type.

[Yes]

Just try to get on defenders, then you can get the long defense bonus as an merc.

I would actually like to see a mission per match next to the 3 hour missions be brought into the game, with that I mean that every match you get a small mission (100 credits) which you have to complete that match, it would be based on which map, which side of the map and which mercs you’re playing.

Only missions I don’t like are competitive. I tend to play it only with some friends around and these missions are rather inconvenient.
