Strong Fan Backlash Forces Treyarch to Reverse Black Ops 6 XP Token Erasure

It has always amused me how much some people care about a number on the screen. Just play to have fun and you'll level up eventually. Why do you care if it is at double the speed or not?

Is prestige still a thing? Where you can reset your level for a medal? That never made much sense to me either. Why would I want to play the game again with all of the crappy guns and perks?

@LifeGirl Prestiging doesn't start you with the worst weapons in the game. One of the most meta guns, the XM4, is unlocked straight away.

People enjoy going through the levelling process again and you get more bonuses than ever before for doing it in Black Ops 6.

A UI bug? Uh-huh 😒

The one time the COD community have stood together as one and forced the companies hand.

Love to see it.

Scummy behaviour as per.

Game stability yeah sure this is just to make more money just be honest about it.

@LifeGirl Your comment would make sense if it didn't run counter to how Black Ops 6 actually works. I just mean that leveling up directly unlocks more mechanics and weapons, so doing so faster is actually a way to increase the fun you're having by getting different weapons, lethals, tacticals, score streaks, attachments, field upgrades, etc. Double the speed means quicker access to more fun.
You're also unaware that this Cod truly doesn't have any perks that are above the rest, so prestiging is only relevant to losing access to the rest of what goes into your loadout (and scoretreaks). But when you prestige you get permanent unlock tokens now, so after my first prestige I used mine to get my favorite weapon that is unlocked at max level so now I will always have access to it when I prestige. As Liam said, this Cod also has the most alluring and "best" prestige system I've seen to date.

People should have pushed back against Sony nuking the 💩 out of PlayStation Stars. But not enough people care about Stars to begin with lol.

I’m glad I never got trapped into this bullsh*t way of thinking as a kid. I was truly blessed to grow up during peak home gaming.

I’m still waiting for the wallet top ups to come back. As it’s still available out of the U.K. I’m hoping it’s a bug. Otherwise, yes, Stars is now totally pointless.

@thefourfoldroot1 imagine they took away the $5 cash out. Also took away earning points on subscriptions (which is what should earn the most points!). And now points expire. It’s like all they want us to use Stars for is the useless trinkets and collectibles they give away on the app. Pure trash!

I'm so glad I don't play multiplayer games.

@LiamCroft Whereas I uninstalled after Prestige 1: it became immediately boring starting again. Literally bored me.

@AhmadSumadi
Yes, I just saw that their customer service confirmed it isn’t a bug and that options can change and the wallet cash out may come back in the future. Which has taken away any value. If I wanted one of the games that they have as payout options I would buy the game when on sale, not pay their ridiculous digital prices in any form.
I accepted not getting stars for the sub. It was a kick in the teeth but is a minority of my yearly points. I accepted the 1 year cash out because it was easily long enough. But to take away the only worthwhile reward makes the whole thing useless. I guess I’ll stick with it and just save up the points in the hope that the option comes back periodically and I can cash the points out.

I’ma abuse the hell out of those legacy tokens, especially while Monster has been unable to “gather” any of their own. The stuff these publishers play with these tokens is clown behavior.

Prestiging matters for the first time in a while and I’m chasing that dragon.

@thefourfoldroot1 @ahmadsumadi afaik, the points always had an expiry date, they just halved it. Also, the option to convert points to money is there, they just took away the £5 and £20 options, I assume in the hope that people wouldn't build up enough points in time to redeem them, or just forget about it all together. You may need to clear your cache and storage data for it to reshow if it isn't there for you.

Not defending what they did, just providing info.

@TrannosaurusBex I see the $10 option. I just don’t buy enough stuff on the store to ever be able to redeem it. Mine will always expire.

@TrannosaurusBex
Really? Strange. I can’t get any wallet amounts to show at all. Either way, Sony have not been exactly open with a solution. I can’ only see it benefitting them.
I did some calculations, and on all the games I checked, it works out exactly £5 more to get the game with points than it does with PSN wallet credit. Which is scummy enough without taking the obvious wallet option away from millions of people.
