Too many things locked in the beginning(online)

Post » Fri Apr 09, 2010 8:45 pm

Why is there so many things locked and it takes forever to unlocked them ? I'm talking about Skill Assessment.
Traveler get unlock between level 25/35(don't remember) and when you do unlock it, half of the maps are still locked, so even if you play on them it won't count.

Same with Skill Kill, unlocked at 35 but still half of them are locked. Skill kill like 'vengeance', easy thing you do from the beginning yet you won't get the extra xp because it's locked. We need a lot of xp to Reboot 5 times.

IMO, everything should be unlocked from the beginning, specially Skill Assessment and game types. It's already hard enough to find a game for Extraction or Assault without having to wait for the low level to catch up. Sometimes it feels like there's only 20 people playing the game, 12 in crash site and the other 8 scattered across the other game modes.

What do you think ?

I'd rather have them unlocked as they are now.
Early on you rank up easy anyway and i'd rather take those xp-rewards when you need 50-60k xp to next level

Yea all the game modes should be unlocked from start, the same for certain challenges like the ones you listed. I like playing Crash Site, but Crash Site isn't unlocked untill like level 12 or something.

Pure speculation...I'm level 35 and I've never boosted. It's not like you can get a lot of skill kills by boosting anyway.

I absolutely agree with you. I think that it was a poor decision on the part of Crytek to lock certain game modes for inexperienced players. Being restricted to IA and CS for a week while I "leved up" was kind of frustrating. I wouldn't be surprised if that's one of the contributing reasons for the low online population. Having a beginner's mode is great, but if I want to break into a match with high-ranking players and duke it out with my default weapons, I should be able to. I know the bigger players aren't going to mind.

I've already brought Skill Assessments up here

I can't see what the point of having them locked is as it serves no purpose and no one seems to know how they are meant to work, some are counting before they are unlocked others are not. An official reply would be nice.

As i wrote in that thread, once you unlocked a new assesment group/category/whatever, back out of MP and when you go back into MP they are all working dandy and are ready to be worked on (i do think they actually start counting on them even if you don't back out right away, it just looks bugged). Shoddy work maybe but not a big deal, atleast not for me.

I rather have assessment groups unlocked late so they can ease the tedious grind to 50 every now and then. Rather then having all of them all unlocked at start, making a really fast grind up to maybe 35 and then just head face first into a wall of xp-grind with little to none help to ease things up...
