Let us choose Objective or Stopwatch Missions

(hawkeyeguy99) #1

Ever since CMM went live and I played about 5 matches on it I avoid it like the plague and only use the server browser. I am even getting rid of every Objective mission that pops up because I don’t want to play it that bad. This brought to mind how about 90% of my “mode” missions have all been Objective since the update went live, asking me to play a mode I do not want to play. This sucks because I’m just not going to do it and it consistently takes up a spot on my missions tab that could be much better spent on another type of mission that I’ll enjoy completing.

Here’s my solution:
Change the system to allow us to choose the types of missions we receive. The perfect example of this is the way Uncharted 4 handles it’s daily multiplayer missions. You can get missions for multiplayer and survival modes but the game lets you select what types of missions to receive. It gives you three options: multiplayer and survival, multiplayer only, or survival only. Even then, if you get a mission you don’t like you can pay in-game currency that you get for completing those missions to replace it from one of three new offered missions of your chosen category.

I would suggest that DB at minimal adopt a re-roll mission feature for about 250-500 credits. I would also ask that we be able to choose to receive either objective or stopwatch or both missions so I’m not constantly being asked to play the mode I do not want to play. What do you all think?

I dont really support or oppose this idea. I quess I slightly support this, because I like fiddle with settings. There is lot of more important stuff to be invented, like new mechanics, mercs, maps and guns. But missions definitely need examination. In my opinion, they should be 5x more xp and 5x more rewarding in 12 hours cycles, but can be stacked twice. Perhaps you could choose which missions to leave in stack. I think current daily rewards arent that bad, I can see their ideology. It’s good to push players to play more constant. Timer could use a adjustment, there could be +/- 4hours scheduling time and a button to reset timer. There could be special reward for completing all missions.

Edit: More ideas: There chould be random heroic missions, where you play 5 hours single merc and then you get ultimate credit/card reward. You could get them in arsenal crates, by small chance RNG or buy them alongside with boosters.

Or just get rid of a objective, and have a mod for stop watch where you start out with the full 15 mins or you earn it.

I think what SD is trying to do here is simply to thoroughly test CMM by forcing it only via match maker…who knows we might even end up without the browser one day ! I dont think they rigged the missions for OBJ . Its 50/50 on my end.

Yep. I’ve been doing all of my objective missions on australian servers with 200 ping just to avoid CMM, and I highly doubt I’m alone in doing so. I don’t mind them wanting to test CMM, but jesus, hurry up and give me my server browser obj servers back so I can stop bothering people in australia.

this is pretty much it except I think the browser will be back later on

I feel I get more SW missions than Obj. missions. And I would prefer Obj. missions.

I still have PTSD flashbacks to Competitive missions

“No stop, god stOP, STOP, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO”

The Missions for modes will be changing so that people can play whichever mode they like.
There’s indeed a lot of room for improvement on teaching people how SW works in comparison to OBJ, and that even comes down to the HUD.

Wow, SD listens, for a video game developer.

First Phoenix’s obsidian change and now this.

Meh I’d rather if they just reworked the entire missions. The current missions are pretty boring. It’s always “earn xp” and “earn xp with that merc in your squad but you don’t have to use that merc”.

I want more variety. I want merc specific/class specific missions like “deal x damage to the EV” or “revive X teammates” or “play a full match as Proxy without dying to your own mine once”. I don’t care what, just make the missions more challenging and unique.

How about wait for 30minutes for a Casual Match that will last only 4 minutes?

What about waiting 3 mins for a match that lasts 16 mins :smiley:

Isn’t that the intended effect?

Well I though a mission had to be ‘hard’ to achieve right? So that’s why I suggested that.
