Hey Apex. Would you mind taking another look at these so-called challenges you push out, both weekly and daily?
Before season 2 started you said you were gonna add challenges to the game to make it easier to level up. What we who play your game has noticed since mid season 2, so far in season 3, is a lot of random teammates who is grinding to get challenges done, leaving because they can’t be certain characters or landing at certain areas of the map. This makes the flow in this game go right to trash. It's not fun when most of the games ends with me fighting a whole lotta squads only to be eliminated by a squad I can't see, since my random teammates have left the game or is at the other side of the map with no information whatsoever.
Weapon challenges is a pain in the nuts. Half the week, as an average player who plays around 2 hours a day, I run around looking for the guns I need kills or knockdowns with. When I first find, I get knocked by an enemy I can’t hear nor see. This is in dailies as well! I can spend two hours looking for one gun, and when finally getting it, poof, I'm dead.
I find it okay that you want us to land at different areas of the map to make us use more of the map, but having three and four stages with «loot x supply bins this area» and «knock/eliminate x opponents in that area», what were you thinking of when adding those? And I know most of them gives us a BP level, but I don't see the reason why these challenges rewards a BP when, let's say Bloodhounds ultimate at some times can be tougher than that, and especially Bangalores or Gibraltars ultimate.
Last season I got this «kill 1 enemy with Gibraltars bombardment». I spent 4 weeks to get it done, and the irony with that challenge is I could get it the week before I got it by pure luck. (Again: average player, not a fan of Gibraltar). I got it again this week, and I thought with myself: you gotta be kidding me... Yeah, it may be causing a lot of damage, but when the enemy team as a great luck of running away from it after the ring appears, what's the point?
And this season we have seen a lot of challenges where you make us play ranked. Get a win in ranked. Get x top 5s in ranked. Those are not challenges. Those are achievements. We should get a Battle Pass level for getting those done. Instead we get 6000XP. Maybe switch between ranked and the supply bins/elimination/knockdown challenges? The latter should give us XP instead, maybe.
Most of the challenges you have added are achievements and not challenges. We should get something more out of them than some XP that’s more or less useless when we have to grind up to 54K XP to level up on the BP, when some challenges like «land in this area», «get a kill in those areas» and loot supply bins should not give a BP level. So take another look at the challenges and consider if they are challenges or achievements. Are they achievements, don’t add them to the challenge list.
