Like I know that they are supposed to be hard but f*cking 20 head shots in objectives in one round with a semi-auto or bolt action feels almost f*cking impossible. Like I get you have a lot on your plate but I've been trying to finish the last Krag mastery assignment ever since the first week and I've only ever come close a few times. Please at least make it ten or something lol.

/u/Braddock512 /u/PartWelsh can you say something regarding this topic? Could it change or there is no chance at all?

Before those topics appeared on weekly basis but now it is on daily basis from different users.

Currently, there are no plans to change older assignments, but due to the feedback, they have taken another look at how future assignments will be designed.

That doesn’t mean the conversation on older assignments is closed forever, just not a focus at this time. The topic may be revisited by the Dev team upon deeper review of player analytics and completion rates, etc.

While your response might not be so favorable, thank you for at least responding :)

No worries, Wolfy. Obviously knew it was going to be down voted but I did want to give you the latest info I had. Have a good day.

This ranks with the pilot/tanker customization as among the worst decisions the devs could make regarding fixing things that shouldn't have been so poorly designed in the first place. Obviously they're not as high a priority as the current crop of game-breaking glitches and performance issues (especially since assignment tracking seems to be part of the problem), but they should be a definite "Yes, eventually" instead of a "maybe if we get back around to it." This sort of response doesn't inspire confidence that the development team intends to continue supporting this game instead of jumping ship to the next one - pretty much what everyone on this subreddit has started to believe in the past few weeks.

I can definitely appreciate your perspective and point of view regarding my response. The latter half was more of my way of saying I am not going to let this issue die because I agree that some of these assignments are a bit ridiculous.

Definitively, the devs have said they’re not reworking previous assignments. But I feel that isn’t the best option for this community so I’m going to keep pushing for a review of the older assignments - once we get past the current issues and the game is in a better state.

I don't have headcount or budget on my staff for a translator that I don't need, so your 'translation services' are not required. Thank you for trying, though. If I need to clarify something, I will. In this case, my comment was pretty damn clear - the devs have said no, but I'm not going to let the issue die.

Have a good one, bud.

Nope. That’s not even anywhere close to what I said.

Part of the adventure that is Community Management for this community.

The objective ones have been the main ones I’ve been rallying against. Or the “xxx kills in a life while standing on one foot singing We Will Rock You by Queen”.

Tracking issues is a bug that I’ve escalated to the team repeatedly - it works for a while then stops. So I totally understand how frustrating that is.

Also a part of masochism.

No one said sanity was a requirement for this job. I think it may actually disqualify you. ;)

Braddock, at the time I am writing this, you have been downvoted 51 times. It is probably not finished. A Community manager that gets downvoted so many times, should give you a very serious clue about current customer satisfaction with these assignments. A serious company should not care about what its devs are saying but about what the customers are demanding. Please be sure to talk to someone in marketing for an actual follow up in this issue. Thanks a lot in advance.

That’s a bit presumptuous to assume I didn’t expect this, or that I don’t know the sentiment around this particular subject - as my role within ... yep, the marketing arm of the company... is to understand the conversation and sentiment of the community. That doesn’t change the decision of the Development team that makes these assignments.

If there is a change decided by the dev team, I’ll let you know. Have a good one !

That wasn't how the comment came off, but if that was what you meant, fair, simple missunderstanding. It more gave the impression of the same sort of we are looking into it thing as has been the case for all these months, so forgive a bit of short temper regarding that.

However if the dev team still have no plans to do something about old assignments by now i heavily doubt they will in the end regardless of the analytics and such. I'd feel, if that would actually be the case, that we (and you) would hear something more than a no.

After all the response "there are no plans to do this now" after some 8 months gives off another vibe than "we see all the feedback but right now we are prioritizing other things and will come back to this when stuff is a bit more stable" as an example. Understand what i mean?

After all, i do realize that changing an assignment that is given to players as something close to an actual object in-game probably requires a lot more work than changing how future assignment requirements work. But if that is the case, it'd be way better to actually be open about it; if that's the big blocker and dev resources are better spent, at the moment, on other things, i think most of us would appreciate and understand that.

That’s why I said it that way. The Devs have said they will not be changing the older assignments.

However, I disagree with this so I’m going to continue to push for some changes to the Mastery Assignments - not just the ones going forward but also for the nearly impossible ones that have been frustrating the community.
