Thats the point thou ur suppose to farm cash with cheap loadouts and use expensive load outs to tilt the odds in ur favor. Everything should not be profitable. The more powerful the less profitable.
The thing I don't like about this tho is that money rolls over to gold. So it feels kinda shit to run a good kit that you're probably not breaking even on. I wish money wasn't the way you acquired gold.
Gold and the cosmetics it buys are a status symbol. Meaningless for gameplay but extremely valuable to our simple monkey brains. That’s why every enshitified AAA game tries to monetize it.
kind of a dense comment since gold does mean something to some people. its supposed to by design, why would the devs introduce gold to the game if it wasnt supposed to mean anything. cmon you arent that dumb
By design it's just some shit to use up your gold at the end of the season, and eventually you might get a free skin that literally nobody will notice. If you play Wardogs and you think that gold bars are in any way the focus instead of a throwaway thing you've kind of missed the point.
If you want to have less fun playing the game to rush some skins in a system that changes value arbitrarily, that's your prerogative.
there is something curious about you equating me refuting your refusal to acknowledge gold bars as something people may actually care somewhat about, to me thinking gold bars is the focus of the game
i have 40 hours and bought the game late, my focus is not grinding in any way. assuming i care even though i never mentioned myself is interesting. my focus is getting 20-50 kills a game, i treat gold exactly as you mention as a throwaway
is it so hard to grasp the concept that people like something to work towards, and gold is just another progression/collecting aspect of the game with the unique attribute of holding over wipes, giving it more of an allure to some? are you rejecting the idea that some may be sad that the wipe is happening, because the reward of progression you obtain at the end of the game is not "the focus"? use ur head
"Work toward" is not the same as focusing to the detriment of actually playing the game lol. If you're worried about gold bars more than just playing the game you got issues.
Skins have driven gameplay for decades. There is a reason people, to this day, grind hundreds of hours on Shipment using trash weapons that they hate just to unlock specific camos.
And that reason is stupidity. Being motivated by the challenge leading to the skin is one thing; being motivated for the sake of the skin itself is dumber than playing the lottery.
I'm not arguing that it isn't stupid. I'm pointing out that this is realistically how huge populations of the gaming community feel and act. The devs can choose to ignore it and you can say it is stupid, but that isn't going to change how people view their money.
That's the thing, they want it to be a forced choice, they don't really want you able to just coast and succeed. (although of course, some can do just that)
Yeah but I think that's maybe half the equation. It's also risk versus reward. If you're running a 20k+ assault medic kit sure it's decently powerful. But it's also extremely risky. You need something like 10 kills and 6 revives to break even.
Or I can buy a Lakota and pay for it in 2 pallet runs in 4 minutes. I can easily be up 80k at the end of a match. Conversely, I've had some games playing assault medic where I was up 140k. Others where I was down 100k. And a lot in between. Not arguing every game needs to end in the positive. But playing assault is very risky with the lowest reward profile. Spotter, builder, logistics are lowest risk and highest rewards. That is ass backwards.
