New extreme missions or vouchers coming on 10/31?
-
If not, still never completing the extreme program
-
Did anyone say new missions or vouchers were coming or are you simply suggesting that?
-
Why would they add missions or vouchers to the extreme program? Do the conquest do the DQ and that's 60 points right there, while doing the conquest you earn pxp which goes toward the repeatable mission. I've done that repeatable mission twice already so doing the program can be done
-
@sbchamps17_NSW Once again, you're assuming that everyone is at your skill level.
For some, the conquest map is well beyond their capabilities, so no, they can't just 'do this, this and this' to complete the program.

Lots of us in this boat. -
@NotesOfJohn_MLBTS @markemark_NSW
Since they dropped the Extreme Program, playing only the Event and some Conquest, I've already earned roughly 30-40 points progress.
Its possible to do without playing any of the "hard modes". It just takes time.

@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN
Not much time left for event at this point. I did that for awhile but playing at speeds I’m not used to playing is like (as someone else at my skill level said in another thread) “punching yourself in the balls.”And I might be able to do a handful of HOF games in one turn on a conquest, but not the 10 they are requiring.
-
I'm not great at this game, it literally took me 8 tries to complete the conquest map, as for the Diamond Quest I won both on All Star with a 52% chance and somehow got both cards but if you just play the game you will earn points towards the program by the repeatable pxp mission
-
Forgive my ignorance since I don't play online too much (never ranked); however, I played some of the event and realized that a lot of the participants are 1000+ level players who already had Elly and were using 9+ switch hitter teams with JD/Randy. Why wouldn't they just play ranked?

Ok. That makes sense. But what are you going to play to get any "new" missions or "exchanges" completed?
-
They won't add more. That would be unfair to all of those who did it with the existing options.
But I am also tired of the "just play" responses. The people who are not talented or persistent enough to do the content more than likely do not play enough hours to earn 800,000 PXP. That is a ridiculous amount, especially playing offline on lower difficulties

They added things to the TA programs to assist long after i did it the hard way, so there is precedent.

Absolutely.
I'm a first year guy who has grinded a crazy amount this year, but frankly, i'm still not very good (and don't seem to be improving).
Even as a hardcore grinder, i've barely made a dent in the program through the PXP.I am fortunate to have every card in the game (aside from those in this program) and maxed out stubs, so there's absolutely no reason for me to grind my life away at end-game for a couple of cards.
We've done the topic to death, but it is just a very odd move from SDS to make it this onerous at this time of year because incentive to play is already at a year long low, so this is only going to drive people away, not have them engage further (which is surely the goal).
I loved this game as a first timer, but i feel they misjudged this one badly and the lack of correction has been poor.
-
@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN Glad you've made progress, man.
For me, as i say this as a hardcore grinder, there's zero incentive for me to grind my life away for weeks/months for a couple of cards and i suspect there are many, many like me.
We're at end game, engagement is very low and this has, in my view, only lessened engagement given how ridiculously onerous it is.
-
Yep.
I'm not even bothering with the program, but it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to make it this onerous (and tedious) for lower ranked players at a time when SDS needs everyone they can to be playing the game. -

If you thing this is ridiculously onerous; you wouldn't have like it when the ONLY way to complete the Program was to do Moments, Showdown, Conquests, and Play vs CPU games, on HOF/Legend, against All-Toke teams.
No repeatable XP missions.

The point is that players should be able to choose the “talented” or “persistent” route. Talented players will have it done already or in a much shorter amount of time. persistent players (i.e. less talented players like me) will take a lot longer. Some players are in-between. I think I did the extreme mini season championship on veteran or all-star at least three times in ’24 to complete the extreme program last year. And they also had lengthy missions with cards in the program. and I persisted at some of the doable moments. in ‘22 and ‘23 I did the conquest after many tries and I was proud of myself because I put myself out there to win HOF games. In ‘24 and ‘25 I skipped the conquest (last year because there were preferable options and this year because I’m giving up until they offer more progress options). Better players will not need to do the lengthy options because they can do the more difficult showdown and moments and conquest much faster than I did the mini seasons. How much and what manner of lengthy, easier progress is offered can certainly be debated, but it should not be made as impossible as it is right now. I shouldn’t have to need to play past the launch of ‘26 to finish the program, Which is basically what I would have to do the way the progress is offered now. -

You say you don't want to have to play past the launch of 26 to finish this program. Yet, you wont attempt it until they offer other ways to progress.
While youre "waiting for the to release more ways to progress the program" you could be playing and have a head start.

The game has been out for seven months and is nearly dead. I haven’t done the calculations, but others who agree with me about this on other threads have said that the PXP needed to do 20 repeatable 40k missions is greater than what they’ve done so far in all of ’25 and since Self ball punching is not an option for me, I’ll pass on the extreme program until other options are there. Still gaining towards the repeatable in the mean time with regular play, though. -
@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN That doesn't make this any more or less onerous.
-
Stuff will be added later on to make it easier to complete. Extreme program is still quite new. I am not even done with it and I’ve completed the diamond quest and showdown.
