[Missions] Mission Overhaul Update! (50+ Supporters)

[Xavygravy]

In this topic I have listed previously suggested ideas that should be included in the 'Mission Overhaul' that HATE mentioned, as well as some of my own ideas.
I hope that many of these ideas will be included in the mission overhaul update, whenever that is.

Here's the latest update (from the Developer Suggestion Portal):

Thought all those who have contributed to this epic thread might like to know that we have been working on the long awaited mission overhaul. Everyone will need to wait a bit longer while we "get it done".

So there is more of a mission overhaul on the way than just Daily Missions. Hopefully they've incorporated some of these ideas

Note: I will be updating this topic regularly, so don't forget to sign and subscribe to the topic.

1. Remove the missions that you cannot accomplish due to your class
Same Idea, another topic
(e.g. Knife missions on a Soldier profile)

2. Add FUN, not in-a-round missions
for example:
-Kill xx enemy players while they are in the water
-Kill xx enemy players within 5 seconds of them using a bandage
-Kill xx enemy players within 5 seconds of each other
Note: If these were in a round, these 'FUN' missions would be near impossible and therefore encourage boosting which ruins the gameplay and gets people banned.
Also, perhaps killstreaks, however I'm not sure how this can be implemented without encouraging boosting. Maybe xx 5 kill killstreaks

3. Add Ability Missions, not only the ones shown in the link, but for all the other abilities and every type of weapon (I know HATE mentioned this, but I have to make sure it isn't forgotten ) And not just one ability mission, multiple different types. e.g. Burning Bullets Damage (do xx burning bullets damage) and Burning Bullets Igniting (ignite xx enemies)

4. Select more missions at once (6 or above at a time would be required with all these new missions)

5. Make the Bonus Missions Worth Something!
Bonus Missions AND Future Repeatable Missions

6. Level 30 Repeatable Missions

7. A list of ALL missions your account has completed should be listed in a mission box below the list of your heroes. When your mouse is over a mission, a little box will pop-up showing which heroes/hero has completed this mission.

8. Weekly/Monthly Missions

[Xavygravy]

9. Don't make any more ridiculous and impossible missions. e.g. Plane Mastery IV. TEN plane kills? Dogfighting is very dodgy as usually pilots can never get to the right angle to actually battle with another plane... and if the enemy plane is going to lose, they will just abort the vehicle.

10. Co-operative Missions. Yes, missions that ENCOURAGE teamwork.
e.g. If you download the Dynamic Signature Resources pack, you will see numerous possibilities for future missions. I would particularly like to see the "Strategic Jeep/Tank/Infantry Missions" that were shown in the pack (e.g. Capture xx Flags with a full jeep), along with many teamwork missions (this is another reason why mission selection must be removed - we want teamwork encouraged ALL the time)

11. Rewards for completing a certain numbers of missions. e.g. 20 Missions completed - 20k xp or 200 VP or a temporary BF emote/clothing item (1 day or so). If players have already completed xx missions when the update comes out, they should also receive the reward.

12. So the VP Boost doesn’t become useless after all this, VP boost should also apply to completed missions. e.g. instead of 40 VP from a mission, you’d get 60 VP. Also, with all this new VP, you shouldn’t forget that we need something to spend it on. So don’t forget we need more Level-requirement clothing and clothing in general!

13. Bailing out of vehicles mission solution or Solution #2 - Enter/Exit Vehicle Animation

14. Wingclips should count towards Plane Missions. I mean, how are you meant to shoot those little specks of dust (Infantry) without wingclipping them? It’ll take forever, and you certainly won’t be able to get the required in-a-round infantry damage before the round ends.

15. ALL Missions should be repeatable! Yes, ALL. Whether it gives a reward (maybe a smaller one each time) or not is up to the developers, but what it should do is have a little ‘times completed’ symbol on that mission (would be especially awesome with #4 and #7)
By in a cycle, I mean that if you beat Tank 1-4, you’d have to start from Tank 1 again and go through to 4. Actually, you should be able to do whatever mission you like if you have unlocked or completed it.
e.g. If you completed the Tank 1 mission twice, it would show a little ‘x2’ at the bottom-right corner of the mission picture. If you completed Tank 1-4 one time, this would be a cycle which would have a seperate cycle icon with x1 at the bottom-right.
It should also change colour depending on how many times it has been completed. For example, x1 would be a gray colour and x10 would be shiny-gold. High amounts of singular missions or cycles completed should also be rewarded.

16. Some possible rewards could be having Mission icons on your forum name bar to the right of the ‘Open Beta’ and ‘Beta’ tags. It could display “Missions completed: xx” or your three or so most completed missions/cycles (most recent displayed first on left as icons with x(number of times) next to it): “Tank 1 x14, Tank Cycle x4, Plane Hunter Cycle x1”. Cycle icons could just be the first mission icon with arrows going clockwise around it.

17. Long-term missions! (could be named: Grand Achievements, Epic Acts, Royal/National Deeds, etc.) - e.g. xx SMG kills, xx Tank kills, xx Flag recaptures, xx Distance Travelled in Jeep, etc. These should offer good rewards. Long-term missions also shouldn't be required to be placed on the limited mission selection bar, as they would sit there for a VERY long time. Instead, it should give you a little indicator when you have reached a certain milestone towards that 'Grand Achievement' e.g. 50/500 SMG kills, 100/500 SMG kills.

18. Mission-exclusive rewards such as "I Hunt Gunners" t-shirt for completing the Gunner Hunter cycle once (Gunner Hunter 1-4). See here for some ideas.

19. In-game Mission Select So people don't quit to update their missions mid-game, and quite possibly risking never finding their way back to the game (with the non-lobby random-matchmaking server system BFH currently has, and the friends update which means you can't join back into a game with someone you've added mid-game until they go the website and accept your request ).

20. Playstyle missions - e.g. 90% accuracy for a round with minimum 15 kills, 10 headshots, mark 20 targets in stealth without dying.

/Signed. Pretty much all of them. I think even doing half of the mission points would make them good

/signed, good idea I It!

[Flechette]

I agree with all the points. Something I would like to see in the future is the replacement of "in-a-round" missions with lifetime goals ala TF2 - 1000 knife kills, 1 million healing points, 500 RPG kills, etc. Missions that require alot of time to complete but are not impossible to achieve.

#2: They should also implement killstreaks etc. Doesn't have to go overboard, but maybe 3, 5, 8 or something.

#10: Get 5 roadkills with a full jeep!

#17: Don't call them missions, but perhaps Milestones with a separate area, with badges or some fancy shiznit.
