Focused feedback: Ally EXP

It is pretty disheartening how long this fix has been promised for.

I hope we get some word about it on the dev stream tomorrow, if Op 4 doesn’t bring massive changes because they have been delayed to Op 5, I would at least hope that the Ally system comes with a rework.

Yeah, it’s not a priority for TC. Gnasher tuning is more important.

Glad I already got it when the bots were still ā€˜dumb’ hehe.

This is too true, i played gears 2 and 3 long after i had maxed it and still had a blast, but yh they have made this game a grind fest to get achievements and unlockables and with 50 re-ups and the current state of the game i will not attempt to get that, if the game was solid yh id have no problem and would play it for years to come, but instead TC have reversed it, give the players rewards for playing x amount of time instead making a very stable functional game that players will enjoy for years to come.

In regards to the achievement so far i think i have only just got into level 3 with one of my friends everyone else is level 1 and we play together when ever each of us is on, but when i first saw that achievement i thought it was a bit ridiculous and in the current state the game is in, it isn’t fun to play the majority of the time, so definitely needs to be lowered IMO, if the game was fun and functioned properly, consistent then i’d have fun and most of my friends would too so the achievement wouldn’t be an issue.

I got mine done over a two week period , Instead of tweaking achievements that work fix the string of ones that are ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  up

Which achievement did you do over a two week period?

Was there any information about when they might look into this / implement something to improve the ally xp?

TC said in a dev stream around April that they were looking to put it in sometime in Op3 or in Op4.

I don’t think it will come in Op4, and from the sound of Dana in last week’s dev stream, it didn’t sound like a change was coming soon. It almost felt like nothing was going to change, from his response.

I don’t know if he said anything in this week’s dev stream though, I’m watching it now to see.

How long are they gonna push this and the Reup changes off? Seriously. I get that they are technically not priority issues that affect gameplay but god forbid players who are currently around have actually doable progression systems in place instead of this absurdly grindy mess that gives no adequate rewards for the effort required to get anywhere within it.

By the time they implement these changes it won’t matter to most of the people that really want it because they went ahead and did the grind instead of waiting .

I’m one of the few that decided to grind it with some friends.

Furthermore, the bonus XP you get for playing with allies is absurd. 10%? It should be 100% although this might be considered too much for some people here who think getting to much XP is a bad thing but for those that actually have a horse in this race, it’s not too much.

99% sure they will never implement this.

At this point it should just be left alone.

Ridiculous that it couldn’t have been timely adjusted. Now people that have it should get mad if TC tries to change it.

Honestly, I won’t get mad at all but that’s just me.

Me neither, I also got it but I don’t care if it’s getting nerfed.

I am not like some puppy who doesn’t want people to hit re-up 50 :slight_smile:

It’s one of those scenarios where I will get it eventually, but if the achievement or the system is going to be made easier, why go for it?

I will eventually run out of patience, which also correlates to the re-up 30 achievements, but it wont be for a few months. I’d rather not burn myself out with the game like I did with Gears 4 towards the end.

I’ll be hitting reup 30 by next Friday but only because I’m grinding. I’m not going to trying for reup 50 though unless it’s achievement related.

Crazy to me that they just swept this under the rug.

Seems like it. I couldn’t see any mention of this or the level up system getting reworked in their roadmap.

the amount of xp u need is insane. Playing the hole quarantine with my wife and still level 3 on this
