Requisition Slips - ARE POINTLESS

[Elric]

Dear Arrowhead,

the requisition slip drop from POI's is utterly pointless.
It's so little that it isn't even useful for newbies who NEED requisition, and it's utterly pointless for anyone on a higher level since we are constantly at the ( also pointless ) resource cap for requisition anyway.

I can think of two ways of fixing that issue:

1. Make requisition slips at least be worth something.
1000 requisition, maybe 2500. You know, so while it's still a pointless drop for high level players, it's at least ACTUALLY helping newer players.

2. Remove requisition slips altogether. All they do as they are now is pollute the spawn pool of SC and Medal drops. Unless that is EXACTLY what you want them to do, which would be very undemocratic towards your players.

As it is, I'd rather have a damn box of ammo than requisition slips... EVERYTHING is better. I don't even get a rewarding pickup pop-up due to being at the cap all the time.

Cheers,
Elric

I think 2 is closer to reality, the only reason they exist is to dilute the SC pool

90% of the game's content is useless. There are many stratagems, but we only use 4 of them. There are many weapons, but we only use a couple of them

I would like to play as a sniper, but he is useless here. This is a warhammer without melee weapons, not a helldiver

this seems only tangentially related, but alright

The developers release a small fix once a month, which needs to be released daily

Just like in every game ever.
Then again, nothing is stopping you to completely ignore the meta and play the way as you want.
tl;dr: Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.

This game is made for those who have never played games. Many people immediately go to another one, and fans stay here forever

...what? That makes zero sense. You make it sound like this game is a weird cookie clicker of sorts. And adding "...oh, but I think..." doesn't make it any less random and illogical.

The game has bugs and poor optimization, the game is not supported, but people play it

Okay I think I figured out what he's saying. It still isn't true, but it makes sense now. Basically he seems to be saying that the game is so bad that only people who haven't played good games before would like it because they haven't ever had their standards raised.

Basically, a "nothingburger" -- "If I don't like it, it means its a fact that everyone should consider."
Thanks for "translating" nonetheless.

no problem man

You all missed the obvious fix regarding this.
Make slips only appear on difficulties 1-3
4+ difficulties introduce the rare samples to poi's so removing slips from those difficulties would balance the whole thing out.
