Ronyn.  Actually doing everything well takes some time.  I'm pretty sure the only reason I'm still playing is that I found a group I enjoy playing with, and I'm quite neurotic.  Ha.  Not a lot of content is true, but mastering that content takes awhile for most everyone.

That is definitely true. It takes time to really master this stuff. I have been playing this game quite a bit for a couple of weeks now. I really enjoy the mix of melee and gunplay...and I'm often suprised at which characters are the ones I end up enjoying the most.

Still, not being able to level up in single player is rough. And some of the unlock/progression systems are way too dependent on luck.

This is one of those games that I can enjoy for certain reasons but I;d have trouble recommending this to most gamers I know. They just wouldn't put up with most of it's strange choices.

every game brings new challenges.... especially when Antagonists show up! So many people seem to hate it, but I get a lot more fun out of dealing with a player.

I aso find enjoyment when there is an antagonist in the match. The larger problem is how the systems work together.
That is to say: a lot of people seem to only have the early campaign, so the vast majority of matches I've experienced so far are in the same handfull of missions.
Then it costs so much gold to get a character, that if I want to save up for one it means I only have access to the started characters to play. Then, if I wanted to try different weapons I have to hope that one drops and I get a roll, but even if I'm lucky enough to get the roll I then have to buy it costs gold which will take away from me saving up for a a character. lol

This game is fun but the progression system seems to be built for a game with WAY more content than their actually is. I get that its meant to give the player something to strive for long term but, in my opinion, this game just doesn't have the breadth to keep the average person interest long enough to get the unlocks.

This is concerning for the games longevity

Welp, now that I have put in a decent amount of hours I feel like this game has an amazing core gameplay experience but it's progression system is flawed partly because it expects us to play the same campaigns a zillion times to unlock everything. Coincidentally one of the main reasons I got this game was to play Ginebra and it turns out she is the last character to unlock. This isnt cool. I'd rather just by her already.

Ah thanks for the answer.
That is unfortunate.  Particularly because the level up system doesn't even seem to be working. I haven't gained a single point of experience despite completing multiple missions. lol

Hi I'm very new to the game. When I complete I mission it should help me level up right?
So far I get gold at the end but I never gain a single bit of experience. Am I missing something?
