Daily challenge rerolls worked in apex they could work here too with a little work.

Oh do not 🙄 they’ll have you inserting crowns to play 😂 with common loot box levels of rewards

As I’ve said before we need to make sure we don’t fork out money until they start addressing the issues the community has raised if they see more complaints less income and less interaction in game as a result of their changes they will have to meet us halfway or better. their counting on us accepting the new norm which we cannot abide by I for one now am in absolute protest and simply by playing the game so long as there’s a battlepass in play. I’ll be watching the forums and asking my old vigor partner who still occasionally plays if anything has changed. Will only return when that damn pass disappears or significant changes are made for the better

Well at least some people read the forums 😂 including actual dev responses which address said points

I mean I did mention sarcastically adding Blackhawks and tanks so if those get implemented in the future feel free to blame me 😂 it’s headed that way for sure!

I got appreciate the time you’ve put into posting this, it really highlights just how crippled the waiting times area and yet their still not doing enough to answer our questions on the matter or agree to some form of compromise to satisfy the veterans of the game. Funny thing is I was already feeling the grind at level 25! If there’s a season pass at all I won’t buy it. I’ll play the new map sure but I suspect the new addition to the shelter as someone else once suggested will merely be a collectibles area. Woohoo....

Couldn’t have put it better myself I mean I don’t want to rip into the game because I’ve spent countless hours on it but I now haven’t visited it in months even to collect free food or even crowns! Nothing to spend em on that catch’s my interest anyway and even if there was the game has lost its lustre. All of the above points are well said honestly truely believe they should just bury this project and go make something else. Give us a new game, vigor the campaign story shelter stuff would be good but reimagine it as a survival Game against the elements! Stronger and stronger radiation storms are coming and we have to gather supplies to survive it like “7 days to die” each day perhaps bringing new challenges like repairing damage or fighting off outlanders. Just a thought, I won’t go too deep into the concept but that’s my thoughts

I mean that does address what some people have asked for in the form of team modes but it also pushes others away further from the original concept of the game. Any intentions to return to shelter focus in the future or even a hub area to meet other outlanders?

The games turning into a cash grab so who knows? If their gonna do anything with knives it will probably just be more skins. Take from that episode from the Simpsons where Mcbain was selling everything from sword pineapples to sword pie 🥧😂 imagine that but with knives lol

Hey I joked about that in the past! Now it’s looking more likely 😂😂 call In a cobra gunship to provide close air support? Maybe season 6 we can have anti air vehicles to try and shoot down the drop? 🤔

Couple of theory’s given the scummy nature of the vigor player base. I suspect nobody “loots” other than for exp for the battlepass, it’s possible people either come under fire during collection of the crate and or simply dismantle the crate after getting the exp for picking it up and not bothering to extract it. Especially common if it’s a basic crate. Camping is also rife but I wouldn’t be surprised if bots are or will be a thing. But yeah as for the empty loot boxes that’s very common indeed I do it all the time if I ever actually play to begin with

Whaaaaaaat.....?!! Tell me this is a troll and this isn’t actually a thing?! Why the f...!(censored) if this is true that’s really gonna kill it for me. Yes okay their pushing the boat out and doing ever more elaborate mechanic updates like a mortar strike but it’s not what I signed up for playing this game! I’m not even going to go full rant on this one I’m just not 😤

He means when you kill someone and go to loot their corpse, I totally see what you mean and I sympathise that it’s frustrating but part of the inherent risk of going for the drop is having to take extra time to grab what you want. I don’t see a problem as such with having to scroll through items for the drop but I admit it should be refined a little bit so it doesn’t grab stuff like ammo, loot all should at least grab resources first over useless stuff but the crate itself is fair play.

soooo can’t help but notice that for last few days ALL of my daily challenges have been weapon specific kill outlander challenges with even questionable rewards. Now granted some are Intriguing like 5 kills for 150 wire. But some are a mere 50 food for 10 kills and some are kill 10 with say a pa md assault rifle for 5 crowns. Crown challenges for now seem to have gone further into hiding as has any hope for a high level crate other than “kill a threat”. I like the 150 wires one for 5 kills imo worthwhile but many of these weapon specific challanges just don’t stack up. Opinions folks?

I support the pessimism to be honest sounds like I’m not missing anything regarding this update. My friend who still plays keeps wanting me to play and I’m like ehhh I can play better games I’ll keep watching for updates and see what happens but doesn’t seem worth checking out just yet first hand. Random thought though the bunker looking thing mentioned earlier in the shelter? Is that gonna be a collectible room for the trolls? God help me if it is I expect that to be the next let down for hype 😂

Do they do anything if you collect them? or perhaps this is symbolic of the type of update we’ve gotten you know, trolls?

Nice idea but people would learn where the “body” is too quick resulting in the drop coming and going too soon random drop timer would be nice in general though so you sometimes it could be announced almost immediately after spawn and sometimes later than usual right before radiation timer starts. 🤔

I didn’t even know they had an update 😂😂 that was sure in the low key Haha is that all there is some trolls? Why?

Trust me I’d love nothing more than to support the game and If you’d read other reads I for one don’t always trash the game or for it crap. Hell I’ve given praise in the past for good updates and I hold hope for this shelter update that appears to be coming soon as well as a new map. Time will tell really.

Can attest to that it still happens but thankfully I rarely play anymore so I don’t gotta worry about it 😂 started playing memories of mars and it’s fills the void quite easily.

Well yeah for 35 exp or there abouts depending on boost level and crap crate prizes would you? Not worth tangling with the Cod battle royals sweats for the sake of exp getting out with the crate 🙄

Aiming is a bit janky in vigor I know this because I sometimes miss scarecrows point blank with some weapons due to weird hit registration or possibly map mesh issues, frustrating but it happens.

I don’t see the point in this post to be fair as countless people have fallen prey to bombs. It’s all about proper placement in unexpected places, hide them behind rocks, doors windows in case people are daft enough to climb in through and open window. Trust me people do still run into them unless they check their corners

I remember one solitary encounter on grontheim post update where I was looting a fair bit of stuff and I went to barred to see if I could nab safe there was a guy to my surprise already there and we traded shots at first but I had a lot to lose. I attempted to say hey through emotes and stowed my weapon, to my surprise he did the same I backed off and let him have safe, he left an item in there for exp purposes I suspect and we parted ways amicably. Possibly the only time in a long time I’ve seen FairPlay, both of us had shit to lose and neither wanting to risk it all so we each took something out of that encounter. Touching moment but a rare one at that. I’ll go as far as to not shoot anyone I encounter except to return fire when fired upon (that’s if I can be arsed to play at all). It’s also why I have adopted the loot and dismantle approach even when it comes to the drop of someone gonna sweat on me their not gonna get a prize I’ll make sure of it.
