    [Suggestion] Get rid of duplicates (prestige crates)

    Yes, here we go again

    Sorry, but with all the dumb stuff that's already included in these crates, why are there even duplicates?
    The small amount of other credits you get for compensation are worthless, so I feel like I threw away my time when I get a duplicate.

    Yes, it's free, I get that, but I have to spend so much time getting items I want now (if I am lucky), that I get bored of the game by the time I actually get them. It would soften the pain a tiny bit if duplicates were no longer a thing.

    Given how the amount of criticism seems to be piling up lately, I feel like this would be a (very) small step in the right direction, to show that maybe Ubi cares a tiny bit about their playbase

    Nah, because then you'd have no reason to spend that 20$ for 1 weapon or vest you really want. And if they did get rid of duplicates all we'd get is even more stupid voice lines and emotes in their place I'm sure...

    I totally agree with you there. It's funny though, they're starting to remind me of another company that's been making headlines with the gambling loot box stuff lately. What's the difference?? Say you want the AC-AR right? You cant just buy it outright.. You must buy battlecrates / loot boxes. Or maybe you want the military chopper even. You have to buy loot crates also. And the game will make sure what ever "epic" or "legendary" stuff you get is more often than not those damn voice lines and emotes before you're getting a weapon or useful vehicle. Its pathetic if you ask me.

    Prestige crates are prepared for pvp players not tier 1 and ghost mode players , I don't think they will cancel duplicate setting.

    Hah, now that is a sick burn.

    I also like "N00bisoft" for all the sloppy meshes, textures, animations, bugs, mistakes in weapon specs/stats, and so on.

    Yes that is a good one too. It's just sad though, because growing up Ghost Recon was one of my favorite gaming franchises. And I hate to see what this one could've been and what it continues to become. Really unfortunate tbh

    Like someone pointed out, PvP is what Prestige Points are for and originally from.

    Leveling up four levels gets you a Crate, and in my experience, that’s only a couple games if you win, and maybe eight if you’re having a bad day. And unlike other games (or Tier 1) where each level is a grind-fest, it’s fairly fast to level in Ghost Mode. Plus, I adore Ghost Mode - best PvP since SOCOM, on PS2.

    As annoying as duplicates are, it gives you Credits without paying money, and that’s what everyone wanted. The price to pay is playig the entire game, not just PvE. Fair trade-off in my opinion.

    But the amount of credits you get per duplicate is so little that you need like a gazillion duplicates to be able to actually use them.

    I reached 400 once, spent it on a crate, now I have 10 (from one previous duplicate) so it's never going to get me anything, that's kinda the point I am trying to make
