    I'm happy about the extension, I only have 9 out of 30 caches for the commendation and that's the last one I need.

    I don't know what platform everyone is on, but I found the LFG on Xbox an easy way to gather like minded gamers for certain commendations.

    I wish everyone would take it a little easy on Massive to be honest. This probably wasn't my favorite event, but ****, at least it was something. This has been one of the best supported games that I didn't have to pay for a subscription for that I can remember.

    I for one am grateful that the developers have continued to add to the game. It may not always be exactly what I was looking for, but the game isn't made just for me...

For me anyway, I actually don't mind the GE or the mechanics of it, I just feel like the commendations weren't particularly well thought out, in that they promote opposing goals. You have some people playing to not get shocked, while you have others who are trying to farm the shocking of teammates and/or themselves. With no really effective way to separate people with these different goals, frustration abounds when they get grouped together. It's fine when you play with likeminded friends, but the potential for trolling is much higher compared to other GEs mainly due to the simple fact that shock status is involved.
    This raises a good point, definitely. This is great feedback I'm sending to the devs.

    It's taken all the fun out of survival and other parts of the game that it rolls over into for me..

    We have the option to choose which blackout we want..Would be nice to be able to have an option available of no blackout or whatever event is going on at the time..
    That would remove the "Global" from the Global Events, though I see the value in wanting to play the vanilla game if you simply don't prefer the modifiers.

    Very much appreciated! What's awesome about the GE is that there's a variety to be had with each event, and there's another event on the way. We weren't planning to have Blackout run as long as it is now, but an extension to give everyone enough time to really take advantage of the targeted caches was a decision we wanted to make.

    Can we have some clarity on this how many days left of this GE Event.

    Thanks.

    It would be helpful if during matchmaking, selecting the base global modifier, that the game actually matched me with others running the base global modifier.

    It's not asking to remove global from global event ,just the player that doesn't want to partake in another global event..The only opt out we have right now is to just not play until the event is over..
    Some of us are burnt out on them and just want to play the game.. All they do is put the rest of the game on easy mode.
