• Buying the Battle Pass turned this game into a second job and completely burned me out

  Not gonna lie, I usually buy the Battle Pass in every game I actually plan to spend time on. It’s always nice to have some side rewards while you’re just playing normally. To me, that’s literally the whole point of a Battle Pass: keep players invested and reward them for their time. But BF6’s Battle Pass is easily one of the most grindy, time-consuming, and miserable Battle Passes I’ve ever experienced in any game. The people who designed this system clearly mastered the art of squeezing as much playtime out of players as possible, turning the game into a second job: You need enough XP to unlock 1 star, and you need 10 stars just to gain 1 tier. The XP required per star keeps increasing, to the point where it takes 2–3 matches for a single star. All of this exists to force you to log in weekly and grind through a list of challenges / chores, which is where most of your time actually goes. These chores are terribly designed. You like playing Medic? Too bad — here are 4 Engineer challenges, go destroy 10 vehicles with mines. You enjoy Conquest like a normal Battlefield player? Sorry, best we can do is Redsec, Gauntlet, Team Deathmatch, etc. Because otherwise, nobody would touch those modes. After people complained that Week 1 chores forced Redsec, they “fixed” it by giving us 4 rerolls per week — only to then give you exactly 4 Redsec/Gauntlet missions every week, forcing you to burn all rerolls just to escape them, with none left for anything else. I work 8–10 hours a day, only to come home and spend another 2 hours doing Battle Pass chores just to keep up — because I was dumb enough to trust BF6 and now I don’t want to waste the money I already paid. In most other games, you can finish the Battle Pass just by playing normally and earning XP. Challenges are optional and only help you progress faster. In this game, you’re forced to invest 100% of your time into it, or you fall behind and lose value on something you already paid for. Imagine playing the same game for 12 weeks, and not even being allowed to play the way you want. No normal person can tolerate that. Having to clock into a second job every day just to play this game has completely burned me out, and I’m done after Season 1. Just to be clear: I know this is on me too. No one forced me to buy the Battle Pass, and no one forced me to grind it. I made that choice because I trusted BF6 to respect my time the same way other games do. That was my mistake. I don’t think buying a Battle Pass should mean signing up for a second job, or being punished for not playing every single week. I’m not angry because it’s “hard” — I’m frustrated because I believed this would be something I could progress naturally, and it simply isn’t. submitted by /u/tuan3451 to r/Battlefield [link] [comments]

• BF4

  I hope BF4 sticks around for a good long time. In my opinion It’s the best in the series. The maps are awesome. It runs smooth and there’s still a lot of good teamwork going on with the goal of just simply winning the game.
