Reward Tracks
I helped in filling out the Battle Passes and other Reward Tracks for fulfilling progression.
Process:
-
Rewards that looks exciting at the end of each page - making the player want to reach for them, and see what is next.
-
Having a variety of items on each page so each one feels fresh without repetitive items.
-
Putting the best items at the end to incentivize completing the reward tracks.
Challenges
I was in charge of Challenges for Seasons 4, 5, the next three Operations
Challenges were broken up by three difficulties:
-
Normal - Can complete in 1-2 games any game mode or weapon.
-
Heroic - Can complete in 2-3 games broad specifics of weapons and modes.
-
Legendary - Can complete in 3-5 games more specific modes and weapons
Challenges were prioritized to ensure players could complete them in most match, as to not feel like they are wasting time in a game mode they do not want to play, or has no challenges.
Challenge Swaps were considered for challenges to allow players to avoid activities they didn't want to play. Legendary challenges are where players are likely to use the consumables, adding to the game's economy.
Challenges were themed to their operation.
Metadata
A lot of my work involved filling metadata for ALL items. Ensuring descriptions, icons, and other information on weapons were correct.
This also involved connecting related items together, such as armor pieces to a specific armor core, helmet attachments to the correct helmet, and more.
This work involved all customization items:
Armor
Weapons
Vehicles
Nameplates
Reward Tracks
Currency
Player ID
