Replying to a player on Twitter who said recent patches have made the game "unplayable," Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt conceded that he's not satisfied with his studio's current balancing approach.

"Hey, yeah I think we've gone too far in some areas. Will talk to the team about the approach to balance," he wrote. "It feels like every time someone finds something fun, the fun is removed."

What they mean to say is that they’ve been proven to make new weapons that are behind micro transactions are released OP and then needed right before the new batch of weapons is released.

Micro transactions? You mean the super credits you can fairly easily farm without paying a penny of real money extra?

Doesn't seem very "locked" to me...

how do you farm super credits other than purchasing them with medals?

[–] eighty@lemmy.one 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You generally find them in caches on the map when playing (highlighted beacons you can see from a fair distance). The super credits are automatically given to everyone when one person picks it up.

Technically, there's a way to farm these indefinitely by essentially replaying the same map. But you can't unlock the guns/capes/gear in each warbond without medals, which you can only get by doing missions.

Personally, I like the gameloop and how microtransactions are done enough that I don't bother with the "farm" since credits are so easy to gain overtime. The real grind is the medals and samples which you need a team to gather efficiently.

To add to this, I didn’t buy premium pass that came with either the extra warbond unlocked or 1000 SC (can’t remember which), and I have 140 hours in the game and have unlocked every warbond with earned SC (I have almost 1700 in the bank as well). If you run 2 and 3’s you’ll farm them up pretty easily
