RED BARRELS NEEDS TO SERIOUSLY FIX THIS NEW REBIRTH SYSTEM

[Übercharge!]

We've had this new system for almost a month and it absolutely needs to be fixed. I've managed to hit 170 Rebirths right before full release and I was excited about reaching
my end goal of 200, but the last 30 Rebirths have been horrible to grind for. As much as I love Program Geister the worst part about it was that it was WAY too grindy. Red Barrels just took the worst part about Geister and made that the new Rebirth system and called it a day. The reason on why the old Program X worked so well was because that was the Program in order to get Reborn. And it was just a simple list you needed to go through with all of the Trials being 1 token. And the most effective way to get Reborn back then was to get better at X and try to finish it as fast as possible. With this new system, the most effective way to get reborn is to just spam Sabotage The Lockdown 20 times on Genesis. The old program X showed at least some type of skill in order to complete it, and that's honestly what made trying to go for high Rebirths so much fun in the first place for me. Now you can just get reborn by playing the same easy Trials on Genesis with barely any enemies in it just over and over again. And I know this is the most effective way now because that's exactly what I did for the last 25 rebirths that I had to get. Now I already know I'm going to get some comments from people about how I did this to myself and how I can just play other Trials in order to get reborn. Those points are honestly fair, and I do wish that other people don't do the same thing as me. But the point I'm trying to make is that this is now the new meta. This is now the fastest way to get Reborn and doing literally anything else is just going to be objectively slower. You shouldn't be able to just spam the same easy Trials 20 times in a row and get the 100 Reagent Release Trophy that way. I get Red Barrels' intention on being able to play any Trial you want, and making it easier for new players in the game. But this is just not how you do it. This new Rebirth system is horrible and it needs to be fixed. A step in the right direction that Red Barrels could do is to make it so you aren't able to spam the same Trial, and make it so that Program X and Ultra gives out more tokens than Genesis. Because another big problem about this system is that it doesn't reward players for playing the more difficult Trials. Genesis shouldn't give out the same amount of tokens as X or Ultra. There's almost no point in playing X or Ultra when you can just play Genesis. Another huge thing I'm worried about is that this new system is now creating a BIG disconnect between new/average players and old ones. You can ask any top player about this new system and they would say that they absolutely hate it. But new/average players don't see a problem with this. A TON of my friends that have a ton of hours and Rebirths are taking big breaks from this game now because they no longer see a point in playing this game with this new system. And I feel like if a lot of the top players that's been through this game's entire history just straight up quit, then I feel like this will severely hurt this game's future. I've been playing since June and this the first time I've ever been genuinely worried about this game's future. I love Outlast Trials to death and I only wish for this game to get better. Which is why I'm making this. Red Barrels, please fix this. - Übercharge!

there is a class of people out there that, when someone hands them a knife, they will stab themselves with it repeatedly while screaming "YOU MADE ME DO THIS"

+1 I agree with you, red barrels urgently need to change this system, it's almost not making sense to take rebirths anymore.

we should receive more tokens on maximum difficulties, absolutely no one plays the other programs except genesis and a little of program x. And they should certainly change this system of completing the same programs like sabotage the lockdown to get tokens, after completing the program, redoing it will not make you earn the token again, and I would also think it would be better to leave the tokens to be earned only in program x, program ultra and weekly challenges or events, and receive more tokens in programs with extreme difficulty

+1 But sadly I think Red Barrels doesn't give a sh*t about this. They must be more concerned about a new IP than giving good content to this poorly exploited game.

Couldn't have said it better.

I had over 400+ hours in early access alone and I hadnt gotten a single rebirth because after doing the final exam for Kill the snitch, I was so pissed off with constantly being chased (and I know that sounds weird lmfao but like from beginning of trial to end it just felt like you were CONSTANTLY being detected by another enemy in the dark without making any noise, and Id honestly end up ragequitting lmfao.

The new method is the only way Ive managed to get reborn (Im also a solo player for what its worth), but Im not necessarily a "new" player. I love the game, and both the originals, but I havent ever really liked a game where its just sweaty all the time.

I totally agree though, program X/Ultra should def give more tokens

When I was playing on Outlast Trials on PS4, the glitch is starting to repeat itself when toggling night vision on and off, hiding and opening doors. I was feeling that the imposter were spawned inside of my body. stabbing me from the inside and I think he didn't want to let me complete primary objectives and I quit myself by leaving the trial. I knew this is happening when playing alone in solo because of that glitch really pisses me off at the panicked moments.

I knew this was going to happen, the game is so stale because it is too repetitive. At this point just make a lethal company update type mode with ex pops roaming about, massive map where players can roam and collect ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up resources/collectables for Easterman.....because I do not know anymore.
