Medals cap at 250? wtf?

[SuddenImpact]

So apparently the medals cap at 250 because I didn't get any medals from the major order that was just completed, my daily order, or the mission I completed. That's quite a large amount of currency which is needed to unlock new gear. 250 is complete BS considering how many missions you have to run for the higher tier unlocks.

Why would they cap that? It must be very graphically intensive to show a 4 digit number

Yeah. Part of a live service game is having big player numbers to show off when you release new content. They want to make sure you show up to play when the next warbond drops instead of just logging on once, unlocking everything with your medal stash, and bouncing.

They did it on purpose for money.

No one got medals for the major order.

I didn't get any medals for the daily or the mission I completed, because of this 250 cap bs.

because they dont want people to just bank medals high enough so they can unlock the whole warbonds the second it drops.

They announced a medal delay 5a today on Discord.

Some info from High Command here regarding outstanding medals for not only the latest major order, but for medals appearing after a successful order overall.

"Your hard-fought medals are already being shipped, Helldivers. Due to the vast amount of outstanding soldiers participating in the continuous fight for democracy, dispatching them however takes some time, usually a few hours. Thank you for your non-wavering effort and support!

Pretty sure this is the reason yea.

It is mostly a player engagement decision. Does it suck? YES. Do I understand it? Unfortunately, yes... Warframe has this issue that veteran players have acquired TONS of all resources, so they don't need to work if something came out that uses those resources. Which is the reason why DE introduces more resources.

I don't like that they made this decision but, like I said, I understand it.

The medals are capped for a very good reason, to ensure that players can't buy an entire warbond when it comes out and will have to play games in order to obtain the last medals they need
Good idea if you ask me

Say nothing. I didnt knew about the cap and I had 250 for about few days back when we were farming on defences on release. I played full 2 days of farmin and didnt realize all the time I had full cap. I was angry as ♥♥♥

Out of curiosity, are you going to stop playing until the next Warbond drops, or do you think the game is fun?

Its ok idead but still the cap is too small. With 50k money its reasonable. With full cap you can buy many things. With 250 medal? Pfff, two armors and see you later...

Next warbond drops 4/11
