The PSN region complication definitely needs to be clarified yesterday, but anyone complaining about needing multiple accounts when a good chunk of third-party games on Steam have the same caveat (or even to the extreme of needing a whole separate app to put on top of it) just doesn't seem worth the backlash to me  Even stuff like CoD you still need an Activision/Battle.net account in the background somewhere for stuff like purchases and stats carrying over between platforms and/or games. Anyone blaming Arrowhead on this can gently caress right off though.

People saying they get loads of super credits but no medals sound like they're playing a totally different game. I play mostly 7s with friends, about an hour or two a day, and over the past week I've earned about 60 super credits and about 110 medals. Are people ignoring major/personal orders and playing 3s or something? If the stuff in the new warbond next week is good I'll probably be shilling out  again because we almost never find SC in-game.

Cheap Shot posted:I haven't needed to make a PSN account since I was a teen with a PS3 so I’m pretty out of date on the specifics of it in tyool 2024. Is there no way to just lie? I recently watched a couple streamers play EDF6 early by making Singapore PSN accounts and they said it was very little effort to do so. Obviously not the same circumstances but I genuinely don’t know how it works and would love to know if some players are truly out of luck and without options or not. You can use a VPN and lie, yes. Helldivers wasn't region locked at all so far as i know, which, lol. Baby T. Love posted:I agree with everything above.

The decision is out of Arrowhead's hands unfortunately, and heaping abuse on them in the Discord or wherever isn't going to fix it.

I've never paid for a game, played it for months, then been told if I want to keep enjoying it I need to take some other steps. that's unacceptable and it's shocking how many people are good with enabling this behavior.

Are people ignoring major/personal orders and playing 3s or something? If you prioritize hunting them by finding most/all POIs they come pretty frequently. If you're only worried about completing missions they're going to be a lot more scarce.

Not sure which side of this you're coming down on, but just in case anyone was curious, here's the site as it was during pre-purchase  It was always there. Not that that excuses things like releasing it in regions where a PSN network account can't be created, but again guessing that was out of Arrowhead's hands and firmly in Sony's.

Online games do this pretty often, like when MMOs get sold to other publishers. I wanna say Black Desert actually wiped peoples accounts if they didn't migrate within 90 days to their new system. Which is ridiculous. But its not unprecedented.

So I might not be the best authority on the whole issue to begin with.

I do also feel like people vastly inflate how easy it is to get tons of SC through normal play, I've only not had to buy one warbond with real money so far. We go out of our way for POI's and my friends obsessively want to clear everything on a map and while it doesn't feel stingy it probably requires more than a couple hours a day to get those kind of results. We typically only ever have time to go through one campaign before being done for the night so it's been sorta slow.

Plus it seems like your team contributes to your personal order and we usually have one person with the AC and another with the flamethrower so things like 'Kill 100 enemies with the flamethrower' gets done really fast.

drat can't believe the game that said "requires third-party account: playstation network" on its steam page since launch requires a third-party playstation network account now. time to review bomb the game because i'm a giant reddit manbaby who deserves to be restricted to 9600 baud for the rest of his life

We wanted to play Halo yesterday but couldn't because after the 170GB download (twice) one of two computers declared XBOX LIVE SERVICE ERROR and nothing we can do will get it to behave so now we just play Deep Rock. So I get it.

An EULA is actually not remotely the same as a clear label saying "you need this for it to work" on a product's cover. It is poo poo that Sony are forcing this, but when you bought the game there was a sign saying "you need this". The game itself said "you need this" when you first loaded it up. Yes you could click the decline button and still get through, but anyone who can comprehend the written word should have been able to understand that it not being required was either a bug or a temporary thing. It sucks that this is happening. It's not Arrowhead's fault this is happening. Literally everyone who bought the game was warned before purchase, and at the first instance of playing the game (within the refund period) that it was a thing. If you are in an affected region where this might stop you playing, or at least make you jump through egregious hoops like the UK, then fine be angry at Sony, or yourself for not reading. Because that is a lovely situation. If however you are in the vast majority of players who are not actually affected by this beyond the time it takes to make a burner PSN account, or look up your existing PSN details, maybe just have a cup of tea and a sit down.

Are people ignoring major/personal orders and playing 3s or something? That just seems like bad luck man. I think medals are much easier to get because you can focus only on objectives and get 50+ medals a night + any major orders/dailies. SC are harder in that you need to be hitting all the POIs (and especially bunkers) or else you won't get SC. That being said I started this week at 3600 SC, spent roughly 400 on armor & helmet in the rotation shop, and am back up to 3580 and I also play about an hour or 2 a day and sometimes only 1 mission. You do have to avoid extermination/defense missions though, since you need the maps with the POI.

We typically only ever have time to go through one campaign before being done for the night so it's been sorta slow. you can very easily just solo your way through a bunch of level 1 and 2 missions with a jump pack, grab all the POI poo poo, return to your ship and launch another one. They made it so you can't farm multiple SC and medal drops from the same mission, but it does not take very long to just tour around and clear a bunch of different ones. I was 200SC short of a warbond and I wanted to see if i could get that much before the next one dropped, lo and behold it took me maybe 45 minutes not being very diligent about it. it's also much more efficient to bring a buddy to split up and cover more area and open the double door locks, but even solo it's quite easy.
