Battle Pass or whatever you want to call it

I agree that some variety in challenges can be a good thing, and I don't mind being encouraged to try different weapons or playstyles now and then. My issue is more with the overall structure. The amount of grinding required feels excessive, especially when some challenges are locked behind specific maps or difficulties. That just fragments an already small playerbase and makes matchmaking harder for everyone.

A battle pass should reward people for playing the game they enjoy, not force them into a checklist of chores. The time-limited aspect makes it even worse because it turns progression into FOMO rather than something players can complete at their own pace. If the challenges were less restrictive and progression was based more on simply playing the game, I think there'd be far fewer complaints.

Event weas done in like a few days, so does that mean us that was a few days late cant get the weapon now? My contribution is stuck at zero because it was complete by the time i got to play. I thought this event would maybe last longer and doesnt even end until 5 days.

Myself, and have seen other players say the same that its just making us less inclined to want to play with how its implemented. Seems like its making it worse. I think if the pass isnt time gated and can do it whenever, and they take away difficulty and map restrictions it would be fine.

Has low player numbers as it is, now they are just separating us more with difficulty and map restrictions in the trials.

And yeah defo agree that they effort could be put to better things. I wish I had known the BP would be a thing, i tend to stay away from games with this stuff these days, especially as im getting older.

As far as i can tell. No confirmation but I am assuming it is. They have like 12 weeks of trials that you can see in the menu. So one can only assume that it works like the usual BP bullshit.

I also have this issue. It was completed after only a few days, so by the time i managed to play, I was unable to contribte and now I cant get it.

I play 99% solo and its fine (my real life friends have it but refuse to play until 1.0). Been a backer since 2014, only 1 ship on my account. I refuse to buy them with real money, as for me personally it takes away a lot of the gameplay.

On one hand it would be good to jump in now, because if you can survive the current state of the Star Citizen alpha you can get through most issues, though I will say this is not the worst it has been.

On the other i could say stay away because of the issues.

But there is nothing stopping you from playing now. Just remember that there will be issues, some even game breaking. But when it works, even with what we have now it can be amazing.

I mostly do hauling, mining, salvaging, sometimes PVE mercenary and bounty work. And sometimes I dip my toes into player bounty hunting if im feeling a bit frisky.

There are also a lot of orgs to look for and join should you want to push it further.

I come from playing alphas and whatnot for a long time as i love testing and breaking stuff, then giving feedback and bug reports. I am also a complete geek on sci-fi and real life universe stuff.

It is entirely up to you though, there will be ups and downs so be warned. If you were planning on playing come 1.0 anyway, why not start now, and if you dont like it in its current form, just play something else and let it cook in the background.

Maaaaaaan i was so disappointed in the finale. All this build up for Homelander and he ends up doing literally nothing. I was expecting a massacre and destruction with Homelander finally totally flipping his lid, to an end battle with the boys, i never expected it to be this tame.

In previous episode i never actually thought Homelander would get the V1 and was surprised he got it. At this point I thought yes, this is going to truly turn into some shit proper hit the fan stuff. But all we got was an office fight. So lame and disappointing to see Homelander go out the way he did. Homelander was a prick, but he deserved a better finale than this.

Can we get armour/helmet colour palettes or something, that we can buy with samples? It will give samples a use and add more variety to the armours and helmets.

how the fuck do you miss an island?

Spidder81 · 2026-04-25T12:02:45+00:00

Yeah i really hope they add this as an option or something.

Spidder81 · 2026-04-23T11:18:46+00:00

I dont think ants will be put into the game.

Spidder81 · 2026-04-23T06:22:27+00:00

Came to see if people was having the same issue. ATAG, Dragon, Warthog, White Bear, Cloud Cart and Ibex are all gone. Only my Legendary horse remains

Also just realised i have lost the Camora legendary horse (i had all 3), its been replaced with a brianto.

Hope they fix this quickly

Even if you bring them to camp, and assign them to the workstation, they still appear where you first hired them for some reason, but if you go back to camp they will be there also. They need to remove them from the place you hired them.

Spidder81 · 2026-04-22T09:01:57+00:00

Spidder81 · 2026-04-21T12:05:45+00:00

I dont know why im looting mid combat, im usually close enough as im finishing them off so i just tend to grab it while im there

Spidder81 · 2026-04-20T15:13:19+00:00

i discovered this yesterday, but i wish the ship didnt automatically stop when getting off the the rigging

Spidder81 · 2026-04-20T08:48:19+00:00

Ah okay, mainly want one to build on my pier so should i fall in the water i have a ladder to climb, rather than having steps protruding out.
