Listen, this is the worst suggestion I can think of but id rather work overtime at my local wendys then do thease stupid drive events.
I absolutely do not care for the nameplates but the comp points are why im there its torture to do and the worst part is the Jade weapons are limited time instead of them adding them to the pool of choices its now a fomo design.
Respectfully, let’s not give the greedy execs at Microsoft any more ideas, please and thank you.
That acknowledged, join the club, OP. With the amount of threads regarding drives leaving much to be desired, I really hope Blizzard ditches these and comes up with something better. And there is no better time to innovate/change than right now…
They aren’t though, and the devs have never said they would be
Nope, Jade will rotate out and some new color will come in in the first season of the next year. Jade will be unique for this year. They explained it at the start of the year with the introduction of the Jade weapons.
So, don’t do the drive events.
Drives only lasts for 3 days. Take a 3 day break. Then come back to competitive after its over. I literally do the same thing when there’s a QP Hacked mode I don’t like. I just don’t play for the duration of that event.
That’s the simplest solution to your problem. Instead you’d rather Blizzard sabotage the game? Really?
Where have they said this
The only thing they’ve said will rotate is comp points into legacy comp points
They’ve never talked about rotating jade weapons permanently rather than just becoming legacy themselves like gold weapons
They did back then, look at Jan/Feb 2024 either video and/or devpost. Here is what will happen in S15 I think that the next one after Hazard:
- Comp points will be convered to legacy comp points with that you can only buy gold weapons
- Jade will be replaced with some other weapon varian for the year
- Rank reset
So no. I you think that you will get Jade weapons next year, you are mistaken. Buy the weapons you want before the next season ends, otherwise you will cry about how you “did not know”.
The reason I heavily doubt that is that gold weapons were also supposed to be rotated out and only obtainable with legacy credits. But then they changed their minds on that and allowed people to get them with regular comp points.
I see no reason jade weapons would be any different if they’ve already changed how they planned on handling weapon variants
No, they never said this…
Yeah and no. People wanted the choice to choose gold all the time and not only with legacy points and thats what is possible now. I think you misunderstood something here.
Its the goal to give each year a specific weapon color. People moaned that we did not get ruby and were looking forward to the change since the introduction of Jade weapons. We will get something new and Jade will be gone.
MAYBE Jade will join the gold weapons, but so far we dont know this.
Why would even care for those ugly weapons anyway?
They aren’t. They are getting added to the gold ones when are replaced by the new weapons.
Maybe the use of rotated is the problem. When I say rotated I mean only available with legacy credits and no longer available with standard comp points. To me that’s what rotated means; making them “legacy” since that’s what they did with gold, but I guess that’s also assuming they get treated the same.
I mean we don’t really know for sure. I just don’t know why Golden weapons would be held to a different standard than the other ones
I think gold weapons will be “standard” so to speak, while the others are yearly specific, but we will see it in around 2-3 months anyway and I am sure they (should) explain how the rotation works or what the plan is the for the next year.
