Nothing new for the new factions

Discussion

Is it just me or have the items in the new battle passes been lacking, if you go from syndicate to eclipse it’s a very noticeable difference, they have so many cabins compared to the ravangers,

it’s like putting all the buyable content next to the craftable content, it’s a night and day difference, also they need to add more craft-able items so f2p players aren’t eyeing there credit cards.
Honestly if every faction was free and every item were craft-able they game wouldn’t be a corpse of its former self, remember this game used to be on top of Xbox charts, now it is wont show up and the steam charts

It’s just a blatant display of how far the game has gone into “Just milk money until the game gets killed for not producing enough of it” zone rather than trying to be a fun enjoyable game that has any hope for it’s own future. Feels like for the most part everyone involved with the game has given up and it’s just new money milkers being pushed off of a factory belt until the whole place shuts down for whatever reason

wont happen sadly. they only care about making money.
its like i said before, whats the point in adding factions when you cant make the bloody parts from it unless its through an event or another battlepass or mini battlepass?
they add a new faction then say “this faction doesnt accept people into its ranks”… THEN WHATS THE POINT!?
this game is gone so far down the toilet its finding last weeks breakfast.

Good day,

Hey all thanks for the great topic. I have a different option that I would like to share. The game has gone into a maintenance mode with much of its resources being placed into other projects. Thus, you can see the brain drain and differences to older BP’s like the Syndicate and others.

The folks who are left are usually junior developers or new developers who have come on board.

The Product / Project Managers look at analytics and adjust packs, or tweak battle passes releases as needed. For example, in the current BP they lowered the experience points required to level. Also, the premium BP that is for sale is different. In that BP they allow for 650 units (of Stuff) to buy a legendary.

Your statements are not wrong about the loss we all feel when it comes to innovation and coolness. I am glad the game has its lights on. My fear is we lose the game all together.

Sincerely

-MC-

One thing to keep in mind about some of the older factions is that they’ve had a couple BPs devoted to them, so of course they’ve got more stuff.

I would rather they flesh out the existing factions than adding new ones, but as long as we get new stuff I’m happy. I’m easy to please in that regard.

stuff they didnt add into the factions blueprints so we can make more stuff from them…

with stuff we cant make? despite the factions already existing? despite the factions that already exist having blueprints that are permanent?

I agree that we should be able to access those blueprints later, but it’s also not a big deal to me one way or another. I buy the basic BP, and if I want to fill out a set of weapons I either spend my lighters/bearings on that, or I just buy it on the market.
Yes, some prices for BP items get out of control on the market, but if you wait a few months they usually come down to something more reasonable.

I’ve definitely never felt locked out of getting something that I wanted, with the exception of the period where Starfalls were ridiculously overpriced. But then they came down and I bought a second one.

It’s definitely not a perfect system, and I wouldn’t have designed the game this way, but it also doesn’t prevent me from enjoying it and doesn’t stop me from getting those parts.

Relics are the only things that are so expensive that I can’t justify grinding to get, and those have nothing to do with the BP system.

what about the athenas then?
AHA!! I GOT YOU NOW!!! :smiling_imp:
… or maybe not. still though they NEED to do something about athenas because holy crap im not paying 10k - 12k per gun with these. if you want to fuse them thats 30 - 36k per gun (or 20 - 26k with a fusion event) and who wants to pay that much?

yes wait down the line for a few mini battlepasses to come out before the prices lower enough to be somewhat affordable. then perhaps they will be released again bringing down their prices more.

also want to point out that the nox cabin is 20k on console. :unamused:

Yeah, those have maintained a high price for a long time.
But they’re not BP items, right? Are they pack-only? Eventually they’ll go down, but they’re not high on the list of things I want.

If you’re patient like me, eventually the prices come down to something reasonable. That’s why I’m happy with any new items, as it prevents me from getting fixated on any particular thing that I can’t afford.

Which is one of the reasons I buy the basic BPs: always nice to have a pre-fused version of the new cabins, and I don’t have to wait for the price to go down.
Having said that, I have barely used my Nox. Not really my style, but eventually I’ll get around to using it when I get bored of my current backlog of unused new items.

Typically, when I get a new cabin/hardware/weapon/movement part, I’ll spend a few weeks making lots of different builds and trying to figure out how to use it best. That’s probably why I don’t get as frustrated as some people. Lately I haven’t had much time to make new builds, because I’ve been more focused on making minimal techno beats than playing Crossout. I have a big backlog of items to experiment with.

athenas are an event only gun. i havent seen them be available to make in a very VERY long time though. even when they were they required pack items to make. i forget which pack items though.

i mean… i have one extra nox cabin i want to sell so maybe ill get some money for it. i have a ton of cabins that i dont use that are collecting dust in my inventory. i even have a few i can sell off to make room… hmm… i pretty much have all the cabins in the game minus pack ones. though i dont really have a reason to purchase the pack related ones… :thinking:

Considering you mostly play PVE, that’s pretty good! Maybe the grind isn’t that bad after all?
(Just teasing, we can all agree that Crossout is definitely grindy)

if i list them all here i have these cabins:
duster, sprinter, growl, volt, bat, aggressor, blight, catalina, deadman, harpy, jannabi, manitou, werewolf, ark, dolores, griffon, kami, kronos, nox, satori, guerilla, huntsman, wwt1, bear, fury, wyvern, beacon 11, favorite, ghost, howl, omnibox, photon, quantum, steppe spider, the call, absolute, bwc warrior, beholder, hadron, hippogriff, master, muninn, nova, ouroboros, whaler, trucker, carapace, jawbreaker, bastion, echo, huginn, humpback, icebox, cohort, machinist, mainframe, mars and yokozuna.

i dont remember which ones im missing but i dont use alot of cabins outside of hadron, howl and sometimes blight. i wish we had a cabin though that effected frost weapons like the blight effects fire.
also a large majority of these cabins were from years of saving coins and building up my stock of items.

I think I might actually have more cabins than you, all from either grinding or BP cabins.

And like you, there’s only a handful I use frequently.
