Yeah, a year ago you had 5 free tiers from the previous BP and 10 secret stars for 10 free tiers
Now all this is gone.
Btw, since Weekly Challenges are kind-of gone, this mean we won't have the Weekly Star once you've finished a week of challenges?
Yep another way to make the grind even bigger, I'm kind of disappointed by this choice.
bummer
Just jumped back in after last playing 6 months ago. So. Many. Changes.
Besides, what's up with the Switch performance? I noticed they added a FPS counter and it's quite common to see the game struggling to keep 30 FPS, and quite often dropping to the lower 20s. Is this normal on Switch?
There are weekly challenges. It went up a few hours after the update.
This season really is the "we're running out of ideas" season. What am I supposed to do with slight variations of BP skins I already own?

I'll believe it when I see it but I'd be glad. Having to make sure you play at least every 3 days to do all your dailies was annoying.I'm not worried about the grind because from the datamined info it seems like by doing purely the weeklies you can hit nearly 100 in the BP now.
👏That's the famous Dusty Depot everybody wanted back? Nostalgia is a fucking disease
Based on the extracted missions for the season it would get you to Tier 99 lol That's assuming they don't update the star rewards that are listed for the future ones though, which clearly some of them will be updated at least as to what the challenge is since they're clearly placeholders currently.I'll believe it when I see it but I'd be glad.

Fuck, just now learned about these. Fuck.Can anyone please confirm if the 5 stages of Singularity Helmets are the onyl secret things to unlock in this season right? For now we have just the fortbytes and weekly challenges to finish right (besides the tilmed events ofc)?
It's even shit with me having everything on low except for textures and view distance.Wow nevermind the performance is FUCKING GARBAGE EVERYWHERE
I am on a 1070 Ti and getting stutters FUCKING EVERYWHERE
FIX YOUR SHIT

I had completely forgot about thoseDusty was disgustingly bad but the unnamed factories to the southeast were.... *chef's kiss*
You ended up being right about all the sweats being out. Kept getting a ton of crazy second places before the eventual win.

Few random thoughts on the new season so far:
- I think this is one of the best BPs they've had. Every skin has variations and look great IMO. The callback to previous skins is a nice touch. Good for vets and people that missed out those skins.
- Map changes for the season launch are underwhelming to say the least. I assume there will be more over time but other seasons have had widespread changes with lots of new named POIs. I expected more tbh. Seems like they spent more time removing things than adding in new stuff.
- RE: Mobility - I'm happy ballers and slip stream are gone. Weird decision to vault quads (part of me wonders if they are going to fix quad flying before bringing them back). I feel like the Apex ships or natural rifts would be good enough for getting around.... especially for those matches when you get RNG circle fucked. Vaulting gliders was excessive. Overall I think they swung the pendulum too far in the other direction.
- New challenges are ass. I don't necessarily mind the format change with weeklies and dailies but to have a set of challenges and then the next stage is just do the same shit in a single match is really lame.
Anyone care to add me? I hate when I get play with a friend challenge and have no friends to play with lol. Epic name is same as here
Alright I'll look out for you if I get that friend challenge again. Yeah I usually just do team rumble and the weekly challenges as well.I went to add you but apparently we're already friends. My Epic name is Mister Tastee if you need help with something, but I mostly just play Team Rumble lol.
I think it could work out even.I'm actually under the assumption that they're trying to get people to play less. In a few hours last night I completed just about all of the challenges and finished the first X-Lord prestige pretty easily.
I think it could work out even.
The dailies have been replaced by the limited time ones which are 7 days of dailies. Whether this gets replaced each week will determine if this is more or less.
The weekly ones are replaced with the theme ones but will take longer and require more playing with friends.
So it probably won't be any more time really (unless you get a new LT challenge set each week.) but will probably require teaming up for some of the more challenging or time consuming ones in the prestige levels.
I'm now up to date with everything we can do so far and did spend more time then the usual weekly challenges but it was more fun with the variety of challenges.
Also got my first win of the season, first solo game with 5 kills so I was pretty pleased with that.
Yeah that's true, got the bonus for having last BP but I'm already at 21 I think.The one thing I did notice is that I'm leveling way faster thanks to the new method of release. I hit level 16 in no time.
