Some of the leeks mentions a fancy Blitz and fancy Gusts. But otherwise I have e no idea. I donâ??t know why they donâ??t publicise it in advance, other games do, try to get some buzz going for battle passes etc, a fancy video of the ?dookie? in the pass looking deadly, pay a few youtubers to say â??itâ??s the best operation everâ?? but what would I know about monetisation of mobile games, Iâ??m just the dump feck who buys it anyway? No Way. They could not sink so low as to put nerfed gusts in.....

I am done grinding. It's not worth it. If I get to a decent level with gear that interests me just by playing regularly, I would consider buying it at the end, but after burning myself out on the 40 level mini-OP, I need to scale it back.

I finished it in 7 days lol bruh Pix has to tread a line between new and veteran players with these ops FWIW I don’t like the mini OPS paid track. If you can get to level 60 with the reg one, I think it’s worth it.

I know the link is tenuous here, but all the references to the grind of operations and the sheer amount of operation experience points needed, is anyone else here getting almost random team placing (so I assume honour) from game to game? I mean I understand the points system and I even play the game a bit like a tick box exercise these days - make sure I get my quota of beacons (on BR), deal damage, heal allies & titans and drop my own titan etc..........but I frequently find myself coming say 4th place with 2nd & 3rd being taken by players who have done less of all the above but still somehow get more honour...... Sometimes these guys have 2 kills to my 4 or 5, so killstreak is not the answer, and often they are masters league, compared to my (low) champ league. I can post some screenshots if that helps but for now I am just wondering if anyone else has noticed this and/or has a theory . I have 2 kids and a life so anything I am missing that could help with the grind would be helpful, I hate to think I am missing out on honour (=OXP) due to some simple trick or strategy. Dekim

Dekim Tough to say unfortunately. It could be numerous things why that's happening, such as: - honour boosters - healing done - kill streaks - Titan damage There's just too many unknowns that doesn't show up on the post match stat sheet.

Pix has to tread a line between new and veteran players with these ops No they don’t? Battle Passes were invented as a way for low spending casual, regular players to get cosmetics with higher rarity quality and to increase player retention. Why are you gatekeeping the Operation Pass? Would it hurt you if others would be able to complete it? God forbid you can complete it easier too. I complete every single Battle Pass in a different game, and the tokens I get from it are enough to get the next one. You buy the first and you get the next Battle Passes for free as long as you complete the previous. I play about an hour a day on average with a friend and we usually complete it weeks before season end. I’d have to play several hours a day to complete Pix’s battle pass. This small operation and the first one were the only remotely decent ones in terms of difficulty.

For sure the grind is borderline ridiculous and def impossible to complete for someone with a submax hangar. I’m just understanding pix scumbag view. They don’t care about casual players. Nothing they design is for that demographic. Everything they put out is geared towards milking as much dough as they can. Everything is a grind in this game unless you pay, even the ops pass which you paid for.

I have 2 kids and a life so anything I am missing that could help with the grind would be helpful, I hate to think I am missing out on honour (=OXP) due to some simple trick or strategy. Dekim When the Honor based silver payouts were introduced I started collecting data about the honor you get for kill streaks and damage. The numbers were all over the place. Sometimes I got more HP for less damage. Getting 1 kill resulted in different amounts of HP for kills game by game. I stopped collecting the results in less than 10 games because it was clear that there is some scaling in the background that changes game by game. Based on what Pix said previously, I concluded that we will never be able to predict HP for damage and kill streaks: Shooting higher level robots than you gives you more honor points (not 100% sure how it works, because I am unable to see the hangars of other platforms). Shooting champs gives you more HP for damage than playing against experts, because they have higher level, better robots. Same applies for honor you receive for kills. In this sense, the game rewards you for using lesser equipment skillfully against higher level enemies.

Ok so the new operation paid track looks like a must. The blitz pilot, the limited ed blitz, extra Pt and event tokens.

Kinda sucks that they offered normal Blitz yesterday for 29.99 ... bit of a ?wee-wee? move by Pix? I talked a clanmate outta buying it, feel vindicated now. Anyway, off to the grindstone like you, it's not like I'm busy atm.

I bet he's glad he listened to you. For less money and bit of play, he'll get so much more.

Anyway, off to the grindstone like you, it's not like I'm busy atm. Indeed. I saw them trying to sell the old Blitz knowing they were just about to release the new one. I caught news of the new Blitz after freshly workshopping one (I wanted to be ready for the new pilot in advance).

The way I look at it...$14.99 for 700 pt is a deal. For them.
I'm only doing it for the Pt.

Let the get this straight. They want you to pay the price of a full operation for a half the content, twice?
F---ing Greedy B----rds!!!
The record for a new low as been achieved. This company never stop surprising me.

Luckily this ops pass blew my final budget for the year, so I'll be enjoying my noodles and tofu on the sidelines.

Also... if someone is an Expert and they have Champions League players in their match... the EL player can outperform the Champions League player in every way and still get less honor due to the fact that each league up you gain pays more Honor for each "tick" you accomplish.
