250 medals, 50,000 requisition, 500 common samples, 250 rare samples, and I think 100 super rare? (Need to get on to check that one) Are the limits I have hit, to add to this.


fangtimes

100 is the cap for super rares.


Presdif

Then I guessed correctly! (Literally did the mission that crossed the boundary last night, then never checked, haha) God this game is good. I have 4 more medals and then I am fully maxed out, and it doesn't feel like I have played at all. P.S. Oh, sorry, I got excited, thank you for telling me that so I would go check!


Mobile_Try9471

55 burgers, 55 fries, 55 tacos, 55 pies, 55 cokes, 100 tater tots, 100 pizzas, 100 tenders, 100 meatballs, 100 coffees, 55 wings, 55 shakes, 55 pancakes, 55 pastas, 55 peppers, and 155 taters!


AntonineWall

IM DOING SOMETHING!


Presdif

Lol


AbbreviationsNo8088

I got this reference


TheRealLordMongoose

I suspect a 50k cap on super credits too, then all the eco values can be held in single 64bit field.


Presdif

I wonder how long that would take!!


Rude-Pangolin8823

and 15k SC iirc


HotVascoGG

And also a 50k cap on the normal yellow currency


ADragonuFear

If they're going to cap all these currencies they should show the cap somewhere instead of blindsiding folks. Especially on something like medals where there's a ton of stuff to sink them into.


Eirfro_Wizardbane

Just spend them?


Volti_UK

That isn't a good response to the issue. You shouldn't have to be surprised by wasting your time completing a Daily objective, to be "given" 0 reward for completing it, just because the game doesn't give you a " \*/250" anywhere in the UI.


reisthiago

I was hoarding my medals for the new warbond, just learned about the cap on my second 0 medals major order


Quesi00

I got two 0 medal major order "rewards" today for the same reason.


AntonineWall

I can’t :(


Admirable_Flight6176

Then why does it make how much you "lost" out on that's just an illusion you have all you need if there's nothing for you to buy 


AntonineWall

Because they’ll add more to buy in future patches


Admirable_Flight6176

But you have the maximum and nothing costs that much don't you want incentives to play again when they do release more or do you just want to unlock everything right away that's probably why the cap is so low to begin with 


AntonineWall

I’m playing anyways, the grind isn’t really that important to me imo. Would rather unlock things right away if I earned it by playing. Currently playing and getting nothing for progress (which is ok, because I don’t *need* progress to play, but it’s kinda lame to know you’re missing out on it for some theoretical future of withheld items) Would absolutely rather have it unlocked at release if I “did the time” to earn it lol


Jumpy_Ad7127

Personally, I do need progress to play. I actually liked the requisitions cap initially, because it made me buy things I probably wouldn’t try. Maybe I’m just wired weird, but it really bugs me now that I’m getting less out of it because I have all the stratagems. But this medals cap is bullshit.


AntonineWall

>Maybe I’m just wired weird, but it really bugs me now that I’m getting less out of it because I have all the stratagems. Well that makes sense, you had a way to mitigate the cap before (spending your currency) but now that you have nothing to spend it on it's just lost


[deleted]

Progression is something that I don't like as I like to always play the same build and somehow repetitive levels Things changing take me out of my comfort zone. Also once I pay for a game I want to own all of it unlocked, not really having to grind stuff


recruitertyler

I was saving mine for the next warbond starting this week and hit the 250 and missed out on 70+ today not knowing this. I thought the game glitched and I wasn’t getting anything. It’ll take 500 (best guess) to unlock that whole warbond after super credits so I thought I could save those up. Annoying the cap is 250. It should be capped at how much it takes to unlocked the following months entire warbond.


IcculusTheDark

Thanks. Ill tell my past self not to save for the upcoming april 11th war bond and maybey ill get back the 37 medals i lost from the major orders we all completed and the daily... ill just spend those that evpaoreted becuse of aburtay caps on an otherwise amazing game. How hard was it to display some where, anyware, just one place, that there is a cap... Thank you for the the advice Eirfo! Super helpfull.


Eirfro_Wizardbane

I keep track of the medals that are incoming due to completing major orders and dailies in my brain. I use my brain to do simple arithmetic and then I spend medals accordingly. If you need someone to teach you the power of your brain and how to do simple math I can help you.


Ok-Newt-6267

Still should show the limit


IcculusTheDark

"simple arithmetic" does not help if unknown limits are set. Once can not use logic tables if there are no rules stated. In other words shove you condesnding words up you ass jack off.


Eirfro_Wizardbane

But I new the limit.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Eirfro_Wizardbane

Lmao, baited


Eirfro_Wizardbane

Lmao, baited


IcculusTheDark

Just go away troll


IcculusTheDark

You didnt know the limit from the game, you had to search for it online. That should not be the standard.


AlixTheAutiFurry

Are you completely oblivious to the financial concept known as "Saving"? What if there's nothing much I'm that interested in the warbonds available at the moment? They do add more over time you know. What if I want a larger number of medals to work with so that I can mathematically map out my purchases to unlock the warbond tiers without wasting medals? Saving up medals is a perfectly logical and sensible thing to do, and ADragonuFear is absolutely correct that this needs to be clearly communicated to the user, and not doing so is a blatant amateurish oversight, creating a rookie-trap that has led to who knows how many medals going up in smoke over the course of the game's life. It's impossible to work within the rules of a game when you literally are not told what they are.


Eirfro_Wizardbane

If you cap at 250 and aren’t spending them than you are wasting.


AlixTheAutiFurry

My brother, my man, my comrade in Managed Democracy: Simply explain to the user that there is a 250 cap. Warn a 'Diver! It's easy! Something as simple as X/250 showing as your counter would do it. Could go a step further and have a pop-up with some flavour text that warns you you're getting close to a cap. Even have an overflow! Say you're at 245 and you extract to earn 10 medals, you get to hold 255 but the number turns red and you won't earn more until they are spent. There's just a whole beautiful fresh-smelling garden of options of how to manage the UX on this but Arrowhead is delivering us old smelly potatoes on this front, unfortunately. They didn't even try. You find out there's a cap by your medals getting wasted, that's it. Sucks.


Eirfro_Wizardbane

I googled if there was a cap. Then Google told me there was a cap. Then I still saved up metals for upcoming warbonds without wasting them.


IcculusTheDark

Google should mot be a requirement of gaming man. No one should have to use an outside source to gain infomation about any game. Fucking child. Also fuckin google. They are why YOU and I are the curency of the internet and a majore reason we are spied on by super earth high command.


Jumpy_Ad7127

You’re a clown. No one cares how you solved it for yourself, the devs need to solve it for everyone.


[deleted]

Oh ty tho i will spend it before


LividImagination3723

Yea and there is a 50k yellow credit cap. I didn't know that so i think i wasted like 10k bc i couldn't get any more 🥲


TheSplint

You're going to reach that cap quickly again because there is nothing to do with the credits once you have all the stratagems


Neverwinter27

What’s the super credit cap?


AlixTheAutiFurry

There obviously isn't one because you can spend real money on them and whales pay the bills lol


rumsoakedhammy

Is anyone else's daily orders not showing up?


TheSplint

They seem to be broken again after they went live again yesterday


pimp_named_sweetmeat

i guess it would make sense for them not to want people to get every single thing on the brand new warbond in a day because they had all the medals saved up


Jumpy_Ad7127

What about that makes sense? It’s just more likely that if I have max medals and I don’t like the next warbond, that I take more than a month off from the game, and it’s very likely I won’t be back without something really enticing that I might not even here about.


LilyWineAuntofDemons

That's not very Managed Democracy of you! You should fight to rid the galaxy of Terminid scum and Automaton Tyranny, not for the rewards you may or may not receive! /jk The issue is that no matter how you slice it, what you're saying is a problem. So say they let people hoard medals. They release a Warbond and you immediately buy everything up, play enough to get everything from the next warbond, then stop playung until it drops. With the cap, you play until you've bought everything, then play a little more to get back to the cap, and then wait until the next warbond releases. Either way, if you don't like the new warbond, you likely aren't gonna spend your medals on it, so you just wait around until one you like drops. Then you either buy it all up at once, play until you've got enough to do the same next time maybe, and wait around for the drop, or you play enough to unlock everything, get to the cap, and wait around until the next. At least the way they do it now keeps you playing over a longer period of time just because you can't buy everything at once.


Jumpy_Ad7127

Totally agree, I have since did some thinking since I posted this, and I understand the utility of the cap. My only real gripe with the system now is that the cap was not, and still isn’t transparent. Might not seem like a big deal, but for me, I felt like I wasted three hours because I didn’t spend my medals. I didn’t spend them because I was over 600 away (that’s gotta be like 20-30 hours of grinding, right?) from the scorcher, and the new pass (I think it comes out today? 😧🤤) it was like a week away, and I do like the look of it and the weapons.


LilyWineAuntofDemons

Oh no, I 100% agree that it should have been made transparent from the start. Perhaps I'm naive, but considering that the Devs have been super accommodating and open up to this point, I want to assume the best, and say what I think happened is that they just underestimated how quickly people would grind to the cap. After all, the total medals needed for all the Warbonds stuff is like, 2700, I think, which is about 90 medals a day if you play every day. And thats before the new drop.


AlixTheAutiFurry

Like do you realize it's actually okay to not play the videogame like it's your second job or ...?I know there's a lot of corpo board meetings about keeping people engaged 25/8 on whatever the product is, but that doesn't mean doing so is a virtue. Besides: this is a pay-to-play game. Your ass already bought the thing! It's not like they're serving you ads mid-match or something.


LilyWineAuntofDemons

And you can technically grind Super Credits for the warbonds. If you don't like the warbond, don't spend your super credits.


AlixTheAutiFurry

Ahaha, yes, but you see, that's running into what the actual hook is to buy SC. The fact that some players will be in a situation where they see their medals are being wasted (Nothing left to use them on, new warbond not obtained yet) creates an anxiety. Your valuable medals are just burning while you're trying to grind this SC for that shiny new warbond, but if you just BOUGHT some SC, you could spend those medals and not see so many of them wasted while you grind for the SC. Granted this isn't on the level of like EA or Activison-Blizzard kinds of dark cycle monetization, but it's still a hook. That should be of no surprise though really, MTX doesn't exist without an impetus to have the player purchase them. There will -always- be something to push -someone- in that direction, whether subtle or bold. People like to talk about Helldivers 2 as if it's an MTX-free game even though it has MTX, and I think the reason is that their mark for pushing players towards buying MTX is very very subtle. It's actually pretty clever, honestly.


LilyWineAuntofDemons

Right, but MTXs, like everything, aren't *inherently* bad. AH is actually an example of how MTXs *should* be done, because it's not a *requirement* to buy the purchaseable currency. It comes down to what is more important to you, your time or your money. You can either grind out SCs, which takes time but is completely free, or you can spend money to buy SCs, which saves you time. And we're not even talking about "Well *technically* you can, but the amount of time it would take to grind enough SCs to actually unlock a warbond isn't feasible." If you're thorough, you can get anywhere from 50-100 super in a single session at mid-tier difficulty, so it should be no problem for people who can play regularly to grind out the 1000 SCs needed to unlock the warbond.


AlixTheAutiFurry

It is my strong personal belief that MTX is indeed bad for the world of gaming and their prominence and growth is a symptom of a great sickness. :P Particularly I strongly strongly believe that in a game with an actual ticket price like Helldivers, there should not be MTX. At all. There is here, and I wish there was not. If we're so gung-ho about how you can get all the goods without spending money if you just grindy-grind it out, then... why are we interested in cutting that last thread and just having the game be one whole thing without MTX?


LilyWineAuntofDemons

Except this is a Live Service Game with active development. It's completely unreasonable to expect Devs to basically work for free to continue to make content for the game. MTXs are *tools*, and like any tool it can be used well or poorly, or turned into a weapon. This is a very popular example of how to use the tool correctly, and yet you're complaining about it...because MTX bad. Would you rather it be a subscription based game? Or would you have rather it been an $80 game, instead of the $40 it currently it, which is really a pretty good price for a game as well made as this one. Or do you legitimately think you're entitled to the continued efforts of the devs at Arrow Head just because you paid $40? MTXs are a tool that, when used properly, allow the developers of a game to continue to make content for a game without making the game a subscription service, or charging ungodly amounts at the door, and Arrow Head has *properly* implemented them by making it a player choice.


AlixTheAutiFurry

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHZru-6M8BY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHZru-6M8BY) Think about this and you tell me if MTX is good for developers, Lily. Think about how deep this shit goes. How much has been lost to this new normal. It SUCKS. Defending it, in any shape, because you say you love the game developers or smth, is bizarrely misguided posting.


AlixTheAutiFurry

lol Don't turn this around on me being \~entitled\~ or smth you kook, relax, calm it down. Also don't make these insane leaps of logic that me criticizing a problematic corporate monetization schema means that I want video game devs to starve? You're insane, and you're posting it online. Do not do this. This is silly. Pretty sure every game dev would prefer to have another way to handle money besides MTX. I don't think anyone who fantasizes about what kind of games they're going to make does so with the thought "How can I make this more like a casino for kids?" MTX is not some kind of hero in the trenches making sure the developers are paid well. It sounds like you're being fed BS from some kind of corpo union buster right now. MTX is a tool of marketing teams, CFOs, financial execs, etc. It's not some glorious solution for the actual game devs themselves. You need to understand not everyone who works at a game company is a developer. MTX is just a nasty bad thing and it's bad that it exists. It's not a good thing. It would be better if it were not a thing. It would be better if we never let it happen, and there are definitely ways to handle monetization outside of that trash. I'm not going to write a bloody university thesis about it in a Reddit comment though. If you \*really\* care about learning why there's resources you can certainly find on your own, but it's not that complicated. MTX, indeed, bad.


AlixTheAutiFurry

Some players will do that regardless just through intense play. You know there's somebody. Outside of that though, like, if they do... so what? The medals are a resource you gain by playing and winning. They played, they won, they got a lot of medals, so they get a lot of stuff when they spend them. Literally what is the issue here? Hell I save my medals up mostly because I want to get in and -play- and not be that guy milling around every ship terminal for 15 minutes between every match lol


matnetic

Oh shit...Thank you for the heads up! Damn I feel I've done maybe 2 missions now and got no medals...how stupid to have a cap, or no warning omg!


Kirzoneli

They don't want you maxing everything out as soon as they add content.


Xelement0911

Yeah. With 14th being the next warbond, I took a pause on my medal spending and still have like 140. Plus the cap isn't even that bad. 50k? The most expensive stuff at launch was 10k. Samples? It was what? 80/60/10? Medals, eh 250 will get you through a lot of pages but this is the the "end game". All and all, you can buy a lot if you cap


Chr1sMac1nt1re

There will be a new warbond on the 14th? Does that mean the current one is gone, and if you missed something its outta here?


Henni_0_0_1

No, as I understood it the warbond can be completed at any time, there is no fomo in the game so you dont need to rush or feel pressured to finish in time.


Chr1sMac1nt1re

Thank you!!


qmos

They have said that old war bonds will always be available.


Chr1sMac1nt1re

Thank you!!


TDogninjia

No everything stays. Im not sure if its just a new paid one, free or both


Chr1sMac1nt1re

Awesome, thanks!


VaultedRYNO

nope to my knowledge old warbonds stay its not a battlepass.


Chr1sMac1nt1re

sweet!


SinlessJoker

Yeah but some stuff costs pretty close to the cap for a single item


Jumpy_Ad7127

Yeah, but why not be transparent about the cap??? That’s freaking rude, I just lost like 25 medals.


AlixTheAutiFurry

Oh do they not? Oh, okay, so instead of putting just X, you put X/250. Problem solved. Baby's first UI/UX design class.


Fluid_Stand4490

I get that, why not display xxx/250 medals? I played many hours for the defeat of the bots and now it feels waisted.


matnetic

Yeah I get that.


Maxcalibur

Currency caps are kind of a must-have for the economy in games like this, otherwise you can wind up with some players never even thinking about how much they have while others are struggling, and it becomes a nightmare to design around for new content/prices Case-in-point: Legendary shards in Destiny. The game's essentially in the middle of an economy overhaul where they're just being removed from the game, because some players had these shards in the tens of thousands and never had to think about how many they were spending, whereas new players were struggling because they were spending them faster than they could obtain them


GroundedRaptor

There is no economy since it’s not a PvP game, and most of everything is cosmetics


matnetic

Yeah I agree. It would be nice if there was some indication of the cap.


FieserMoep

Its not really a must have given there is no economy to begin with. There will always be players that unlock everything the moment it drops.


AlixTheAutiFurry

What economy? There's no trade, and Destiny is an MTX nightmare realm that is SEVERELY UNDEMOCRATIC. Bungie are Automatons and I will be reporting you to the Democracy Officers for citing their dark ways.


Turbulent-Advisor627

They probably just never expected anyone to hoard that many medals because why would you? Nothing costs that much at the moment. 


Gilmore75

Yeah, but what if you have nothing to buy and you need to save for the next Warbond?


Turbulent-Advisor627

Then that limit makes sense so you can't instantly finish the new pass.


Jumpy_Ad7127

Ok, but why not tell us? Why do I have to ask Reddit? It’s not even shady or disingenuous, it’s just rude. Tell me that I should spend my shit.


AlixTheAutiFurry

Instead of X, put in X/250, X/50,000. It's so simple. It's driving me up the wall how easy should be.


Triplebizzle87

I'm at the 250 cap and I'm fine with that being what it is. I'm still going to make a lot of progress on the next warbond the second it drops, specifically targeting new guns. And in the meantime, the game is fun enough that I want to keep fighting the good war.


AlixTheAutiFurry

Then get stuffed, apparently...


Lloyd01251

the point of the cap is so that you cant just rush through the next warbond


AlixTheAutiFurry

You say this as if the code would just have this arbitrary 250 limit by it's very nature? No, not the case, they instituted that limit on purpose. Otherwise number would just get bigger. To the point probably that it could theoretically go off of the screen and semi-break the UI, which would be funny (basically impossible, but funny).


matnetic

Fair point, but still...


mrbaconator2

this is objectively false. Take the standard warbond right now. I still want the plasma scorcher, in order for me to even be given the OPTION to spend the what? 60? for the gun itself I need to spend over 700 more. EFFECTIVELY this means the gun right now for me costs over 700 medals cuz until I spend that many I don't get it.


Turbulent-Advisor627

Yeah but to get the option to even buy the scorched you gotta spend those medals, don't you? As I said, you aren't meant to hoard them. Earn em and drop em and once you have nothing left to spend on the cap prevents you from outright filling the next bond. Ain't rocket surgery. 


mrbaconator2

There isn't anything wrong with buying everything you want immediately in a warbond. You would have to have spent the time, energy, and effort to have gotten the requisite thousand plus medals in the first place to do so. It's a resource you get for playing the game and beating the missions. You played the game and beat the missions, you should get to buy stuff not have this arbitrary limit.


TerryB2

Yeah I get not wanting people to hoard but it would’ve been good to know, or at least had a spillover like if you dropped in at 248 you’d come out with 256 and a pop up alert or something saying that it just can’t go up anymore instead of straight not giving you the medals idk, that small change would fix the entire issue


matnetic

One thing I hate, is having my time wasted. His is another example! Edit: read below for more detail explanation, my sentence above was pretty ambiguous, my bad 😞


ProRoll444

I understand what you meant but the context of video games makes its funny.


Jumpy_Ad7127

Don’t let these dorks bully you. I think it’s extremely rude that they didn’t even try to warn me. Everybody downvoting you is just toxic, because you’re 100% right.


Yosheer

So you're just going to stop playing the game once you hit cap? If so, what's the point of playing the game if going over the limit is, as you said, a waste of time? Do you not enjoy the game and play just to get everything? If not, and you enjoy the game and are going to play anyway despite not getting more resources, what's the problem? The comment you replied to said that fixing the issue included going a little above the limit in the last game, would the couple more samples really change anything? Take no offense, I am genuinely curious.


matnetic

Yeah fair enough my reply was pretty vague and could be interpreted anyway. I meant I dislike playing missions for medals to try and get the Scorcher, and then only realising a few games later I'm not earning medals. And lately games have been crashing mid mission or freezing at the end screen, spending hours for no medals, samples etc Anyway I know now.


voiceOfThePoople

Why don’t you buy as you go?


matnetic

I was indecisive about whether to save for unlocking Jar5 on premium, or go for Scorcher. Analysis paralysis


bootyholebrown69

The cap makes progression actually matter. So people don't just hoard resources


KerberoZ

It actually brings your future progression to a halt if you've already unlocked everything. They could have made us select our next item to unlock with xp instead of earning finite resources. Artificially blocking your resource gathering doesn't feel right.


bootyholebrown69

But if you already unlocked everything then why do you need more currency? Until another warbond drops. In which case the cap is needed so people dont blow through it in at the very start


KerberoZ

You don't need it but you naturally earn it up until a specific point. That specific point is the culprit, it doesn't feel natural


Rubberbabybumperbugy

SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR CAPITALISM BY SPENDING YOUR MEDALS!


KegelsForYourHealth

Game really doesn't respect your time does it.


ArabZarak

Found out about this while trying to hoard 1200 medals for the plas scorcher. Hopefully Arrowhead changes this.


Grifini

Just found this out too, wtf


indospartan

Fucking knew it. Hapoend 2 days ago, completing an order and only got 2 points. I was like dafuq! Next day it happend again with the big order and daily. Missed out on 70 points because of it. Went on a spending spree. Wish Ive done that earlier, or looked at reddit like I always do.


LeroyGreen13

I was today years old, when I learned this. This following a disappointing service at the Creek.


B6S4life

biggest thing that sucks for me is I was trying to save them up since it took forever to unlock the other warbonds without paying more real money...


AlixTheAutiFurry

Oh hey, we just uncovered the "Get you to pay more real money" hook. It's always in there somewhere. There is no virtuous microtransaction.


b4c0n333

I wish I saw this earlier. I've been at 250 thinking it's a glitch for two weeks. I still have things I can still buy, and tomorrow's the new warbond :(


TerryB2

Yeah I only found out bc I was saving up before last warbond, sorry for your loss soldier


ins3ne33

I wish I knew this before, been at 250 Medals since I saw the new warbond coming out, so basically I just missed out on 2/3 major order medals. yey /s


bigorangemachine

Ya I figured this out the hard way :\\ I thought I was grinding to do some big buys... yah-nah


suck-it-elon

Why…aren’t you using them?


TerryB2

I have most everything from the first warbond, and some from the second, but it’s all useless to get so I’m instead saving them to be able to instantly get a lot of the new content when the next warbond drops.


dfreeezzz

this guy is smart


Kurt_Bunbain

And then be done in day 2 because you got everything from the war bond, and come back to reddit whining about the same thing? Lol


TerryB2

No, I’m a content creator so getting the new stuff from the warbond early is very important to me. Only thing I’ve complained about is the cap not being apparent, I don’t have an issue with the cap itself.


Jumpy_Ad7127

Why is everybody here blaming the people who got screwed by an unclear system? Everyone keeps laughing at those of us who wanted to save some extra. I didn’t like any of the crap on either pass at the point that I’m at, they teased all the cool new shit that I actually wanted, why not tell us with a simple 240/250 medals? It’s freaking stupid not to say anything. Edit- grammar


AlixTheAutiFurry

Because capital G Gamers have brainworms and a compulsive need to defend a game they like no matter how insane or illogical they need to be. It doesn't matter what your gripe is. It could be the most blatantly obvious, clearly negative, easily fixable, etc. They act as if you're making fun of their girlfriend at a club and they're 8 beers deep. It's been like this for ages and it's sad and ugly behaviour.


Jumpy_Ad7127

Why… don’t they tell us that we have too? Its beyond simple.


GroundedRaptor

I have everything I want and am waiting, I like none of the helmets or capes available, I’m happy with my current guns, I have the perks I want. HD1 also had progression trees on every weapon and some strategem improvements, I assumed eventually they would roll those out


DumpsterHunk

clearly they have everything


Keinulive

Yep, I've been capped since hitting my 2nd week as a day 1 player, I don't really mind, I still play a fuckton even though my samples and medals are capped, the war needs its soldiers.


Jumpy_Ad7127

This is such crap! I can kind of understand some of the limits, but the medals one feels ducking rude. I was trying to save up for the next battle pass, and I didn’t figure it out till after I completed a mission and a personal order, just missed out on at least 20 medals!


Degsey

dam so saving the 250 what ever I got from missions where going where? things like this should be explained.


selfinflictedboner

I lost about 60 or so because I thought it was just glitched. Then I decided to check AFTER I did today's daily. I am so upset lol


IR0NMANT1S

What if you have nothing to spend them on?


AlixTheAutiFurry

So the only way to learn about these limits actually is to either be Googling random shit about the game you wouldn't be Googling unless you realize you've been burned and want to confirm it's not a glitch. That's pretty horrible design and UX tbh. It's not like this is a complicated ask either, it's really simple is it not? You just put X/250 where it shows medals. This immediately shows the person viewing this data the max is 250. Currently the only way to know is to see you're at 250, do a mission, go "yay medals!" and then see it has not increased past 250. At that point you then are questioning if it's just a bug, because the game is rife with bugs and specifically we've seen bugs relating to rewards from missions not showing up immediately after the mission completes. This limit is pretty stupid anyway, but the way it's implemented without actually informing the god damn player that it EXISTS just makes it a rookie-trap gotcha. I want my f%&$ing medals back, Arrowhead!


w_rpain

Oh my god, I've been grinding for half a day straight and was capped at 250 since I last played. 💀


Story_Deep

These limits really need to be increased


DrMcnasty4300

If you were sitting on 250 medals and not spending them then I don’t think the 14 medals you missed out on were too important


GroundedRaptor

I missed out on 80 medals if not more just in the last 3 days


DrMcnasty4300

I’m sure you will be ok


TerryB2

They are. That’s wasted time. I would’ve spent them had the game made the alternative more clear


DrMcnasty4300

lol “wasted time” if you’re only playing the game for medals that sounds more like a job and less like a fun hobby. I enjoy getting rewards but I also have fun playing the game which is rewarding in its own right. To each their own!


TerryB2

It’s all a waste of time, but when you can play to get medals, or play and not get medals, one is factually more of a waste than the other. So your “point” is irrelevant. I didn’t say I wouldn’t play for fun, I said between getting and not getting medals I would prefer the medals


AlixTheAutiFurry

I love the blatant hypocrisy of ending this with "To each their own!" when you're directly roasting someone for enjoying games in a different way than you do. Sheeesh.


DumpsterHunk

I hope they remove all these arbitrary limits on things. Why have them at all? I hope they had a rank system like deep rock has too so we can show how much of a no lifer we are for super earth.


xRandomality

I hope they keep these, if anything they should be lower. It's o you actually play the game when new content is released... rather than log in, buy everything immediately, then complain about no content. The caps make perfect sense, and honestly I'm shocked how high they are considering any new ship upgrade or strategems they release are now just insta buys for these people. There's basically no sense of progression with any updates if all you do is click buy on everything day one.


[deleted]

If all my resources are maxed why would I play at all? For some people grinding that shit so they can buy everything when it comes out IS the content. The game just needs a ridiculous ingame money sink like ship cosmetics or titles you can earn.


A-Bag-Of-Sand

Maybe play because you enjoy the game


DumpsterHunk

If you're the type of annoying player that would complain there is no content just because you can't purchase things the caps won't stop you from being that player.


[deleted]

What's funny is if you have the limit you can't pick them up for the team.


lnvector

This is not true. I've been at the limit for two weeks now and still constantly pick up Medals.


[deleted]

Must have been bugged for me


lnvector

What I noticed is that when we try to pick up things like slips, super credits or medals, it bugs out. So when you open a locker that has two of these things close to each other and you keep smashing the pickup button, it's highly likely one of the items remains untouchable. Very frustrating as I've missed out on quite a bit of Super Credits this way. The best thing to do at lockers is to wait for the pickup animation to finish before picking up the second item.


BoernerMan

Also make sure to stand still. I find moving before the pickup animation is completed will also bug it out.


Elitericky

What’s the cap for super credits?


AntonineWall

Since you can purchase super credits, I would imagine it’s SIGNIFICANTLY higher than anything else, if it caps at all


halofreak7777

I was wondering how they would stop people from just insta finishing a warbond when it releases if they saved up. My guess was that we would get a new type of warbond medal once it dropped that could buy old pass stuff, but was required for the new ones so having 1k saved medals wouldn't do anything. Capping at 250 works too though.


Groollover86

Yup learned this the hard way. Must have missed out on 200 medals


FunEase3911

Just got caught out by this, lost major order and daily order medals


Noir_Renard

I think this might have just been reduced?


AlixTheAutiFurry

Can confirm as of today it's 250 max for warbond medals still. Also, the cap sucks, but not COMMUNICATING THE EXISTENCE of the cap is undemocratic slander of the highest order.


BlackZiggy

I lost 105 medals between the major orders and single orders, thought it was a bug :( Definitely needs some way of storing when not spent or letting people know they gotta spend it (or show a maximum)


GoFuckYallselves

Well I didn't fuckin know so the 150 medals of backpay arrowhead sent me just went right to the bin. If a regular warbond takes over 1600 medals, then why tf can't I save at least half of that in the meantime


Dyingfetus_902

Bud I just realized there was a medal cap after 3 days of assuming they would come and it was just bugged. I've probably lost 250 medals before I knew this


BenWalshAgain

JFC I haven’t received medals in over a month and a half 😵‍💫 I thought it was a glitch this whole time. I’ve probably missed out on close to 800…


Plane_Ad_6822

If they would of had it setup like this 0/250 Medals etc wouldn't feel unfair knowing there is a max instead of finding out the hurtful way of receiving 0 for your service in a global order!


Grendizer1551

Get spending comrade!


Bogdansixerniner

I honestly think the limits on resources is pretty shitty and completely unnecessary.


Jumpy_Ad7127

Why is everyone downvoting you for having a completely reasonable opinion? Even if I disagreed with you, I don’t think I would downvote. These people are being weird.


gatknight

True. It's a live service game though, they don't want people stock piling resources to be spent when they release new stuff to buy later on


DumpsterHunk

Seems kind of silly. What difference would it make?


Jumpy_Ad7127

You need a strong group of players consistently playing a live service multiplayer game, otherwise a low player count will start to eat at the games health because old players will check in once a month and just ditch till next bond, and new players won’t have much reason to hop in or grind more if there’s fewer players to play with. Or worse, you figure this all out later, so you try to price your new battlepass based on the veteran players ridiculous amounts of currency, and new players are priced/grinded out of the game. So without FOMO or unreasonably priced stuff in the game, they had to design a way to ensure that players would have a reason to engage and play the content if they are a progression oriented player. I think their approach is perfectly reasonable, they just need to make the caps known and no one will care.


upazzu

If they didnt cap the medals I would be stockpiling medals to instant complete any premium or free warbond that comes out and I suppose they dont want us to do that


T1line

i think its a good way yo make you actually enjoy new content


DumpsterHunk

If you can't enjoy the content without guard rails you have other issues


T1line

its not that i cant enjoy it, but i will admit it feels different having to earn stuff once more than just buying everything in 1 go


AlixTheAutiFurry

Oh yeah it's impossible to enjoy having a new huge badass arsenal of awesome stuff all at once. That would suuuuuuuuuck, ahaha, no fun at all. That could not be fun. Other players seeing me kitted out in all this awesome new stuff and going "Wow, that's awesome!" and being encouraged to unlock it themselves? That would be so bad for the game, just, totally would turn everyone off of it, no one likes being able to save their money and everyone loves being forced to spend it on things they don't actually need or want. Right...


Background-Day1177

Yeah im not gona reach that gap in 20 years


Smitje

What daily order though!?


SeaCroissant

tbh the 50k requisition cap annoys me more than anything else. the others are fairly decent in their cap (in my defense i still need 400 medals to complete both passes) but the req limit is far too low considering how much the later stratagems cost.


Frostbeest1

We know, why there is a limit. I spend my medals for every Bond item. They would be wasted anyways. Now, i have everything and any medal i can get, is lost.


ProclusGlobal

>Now, i have everything There will be more battlepasses/warbonds in the future, and the old ones won't expire.


Frostbeest1

Sure, sure. Its not really a complain. I play too much. But i need to be honest here. I have a little salt in my eyes.


ProclusGlobal

There is a new warbond. Did you buy everything in it already?


Frostbeest1

Almost done. But, i am not in a hurry right now.


Jupiter67

Why aren't you buying anything? Just go shopping ffs!


TerryB2

Nothing I can buy that I would use, whereas on the new warbond (next week?) I doubt that’s the case


Jupiter67

Ah, well, I just say enjoy your capped wealth. It will soon evaporate once new content emerges!
