So remember how there's been a weekly "Do xxxx story/stage interaction for 2500 FM" mission? It's gone, and they replaced it with a mission worth 50FM. Remember how the Gold Soldiers could be played 3 times and still gave barely any FM? They can only be played once now. FM is now basically impossible to get.

Today's missions:
Perform combo 10 times = 50 FM
Play story = 250 FM
Play rank = 500 FM
Get a finish with a CA one time = 50 FM

What do you mean it's gone? Did they just have an update and the missions just disappeared or were switched out?

Man Capcom's back to their dumb shit. This is stupid.

Oh... oh wow. There goes my estimate of hitting 500k FM even by years end. 1 million? Never. Ever. Thanks for that Capcom. Makes me wonder if they cut/reduced character story and survival payouts while they were at it.

yea, seems like they are trying to convince you to rely on ad's as a source of FM incomee. It's becoming clear when they implemented the ads after drastically decreasing the amount of FM you gain a while ago (i think it was before AE). They did add EX Battle which does gives good FM amount however.

Honestly, at this point just get rid of the system, really no point to having it if all you can get is 2,500 FM a week. At that rate it'd take 10 months to get a singie character, or seven months for a stage.

And for people like me who like doing the extra battles for costumes, this pretty much makes it so you get no FM period.

Capcom seem to have decided they've got all the sales they can for this game, so now it's time to slam the hammer down on everyone they roped in.

Capcom's fighting game devision is worst part of the company. Greedy, Anti-Consumer, shit heads that treat their customers like utter dog shit.

Disgusting practice to not only add ADs to a full priced game, but to start taking away options from owners to earn "FM" which they had implemented in the past. I guess their reasoning is that the amazing Ads now allow owners the chance to unlock FM so make sure NOT TO TURN THEM OFF EVERYONE!

Yeah, they're definitely gearing up to something. I was able to get all of the characters in the game with FM, and I still have 672k FM left for the rest of Season 4. I'm happy about the system and how I was able to get new DLC characters for free, because I played the game a lot. This is unlike any other game out there.

So it's unfortunate that they're burying ways to get FM even further, but expected as the game is winding down.

I feel this is scummy because it was supposed to be a method to get DLC stuff without paying real money, a way to reward the dedicated fans so they could get a few characters or whatever for free but then they must've realized it was eating into DLC sales too much and have tried to walk it back ever since.

If there wasn't FM at all then I doubt there would be much of a problem, outside of the usual shit around too many costumes and how expensive they are. They are just cutting down the FM you can earn as a way to force players (who want to get FM to spend on stuff) to enable the ads as a means of bolstering their FM gains after the lowering of FM from other sources.

i would've turned on and tolerated the ads if the earning is tangible but unfortunately, it's almost like chump change that doesn't even matter in the grand scheme of things.

Exactly, they promoted this whole FM thing as a huge selling point for fans to unlock DLC characters for free. And, now they are using those same people that paid for the game as lab rats before they roll out some no doubt free to play model.

Ono and the wankers at Capcom USA must have gotten a real hard on after they saw the success of Fortnite and are now hoping to cash in before closing this gen out...be it at the expense of current owners.

They're gonna be in for a shock when they find out nobody cares about their game. Street Fighter just isn't fit for F2P model.

Do they still have 4 weekly challenges to get a costume part at 2500FM a pop?

This is what I want to know. Also are there still Shadaloo soldiers to beat that give you FM?

This whole thing is fucked. But I actually made FM this year even doing all the costume challenges so I guess I'm part of the problem. Guess I'll just blow my 750K on stages and shit now.

There is one but there is only one try so you earn a total of 2000 FM (after subtracting the 500 FM cost just to be able to play it).

As compared to before, where each Shadaloo soldier got 3 tries so the same soldier would've netted you 6000 FM (again, subtracting the cost) if you cleared all three.

Damn, my dude battleborn27 really excited to dump on SFV lately, huh? Seems pretty easy too considering how much Capcom are shooting themselves in the foot lately.

There have been weeks in the past without a big 2500 FM mission, so this thread seems a bit premature.

So much time and effort spent to 'fix' and build up this game since its shaky launch. And so little to burn it back down again. Lol.

I don't think this is true. The only time I vaguely recall this is a week following/during a CPT event where they were giving FM for completing numerous stream related tasks.

Yeah but the fact they replaced it with a new "easy" mission (Win with a CA Once - 50 FM) and the changes to the Shadaloo challenge makes it seem like a permanent setup.

Been this way since Arcade Edition came out. Getting any FM outside leveling was very little, half a seasons worth of characters was all I could afford. Started on SFV a few months ago, missions gave diddly most the time.

in past incidents, those 2500 (or 5000) FM missions were just gone so the refresh will only have 3 missions instead of the usual 4.

This time round, it seems totally replaced now with another generic mission with much much less FM reward (we are talking about as much as 5x to 10x less FM here) instead of gone.

I currently have... 4800 FM.

Guess I won't be participating in extra battles, or buying all those delicious loot boxes, colors or, hell, characters anytime soon.

I wonder what it was like before Arcade Edition, given that some people are sitting on hundreds of thousands of FM. Of course, I haven't exactly been frugal with the FM I did make.

Actually, now that I think about it, I think you're right. But I also remember weeks where there were two 2,500 FM missions, so it's possible they had happened the next week.

They are probably just getting people ready for SFVI, looks like the FM system might be going out the window so they will stamp it out while SFV is winding down.

This. I defended and saw nothing wrong with FM until then. After, everything seemed structured to make you buy FM, which is shady enough in it's own right, but...then they never allowed you to purchase it. Very very strange decision on Capcoms behalf.

I honestly wonder if there are people out there who just grind online, day in, day out. I did every single FM challenge o could up until like 6 months ago but I just couldn't keep it up. Now this. Whatever, I'll just keep my hiatus on until capcom are done making the game and buy it again all at once. Sad cuz I really really like this game too.

Damn, I'd pop in there from time to time to do the 2500 mine or whatever the highest were. Usually involved making a dog jump on a certain level.

They're going to have to change completely for me to buy any future Capcom fighters. They won't.

For those who want a SF5-style gameplay experience but without Capcom scuzziness, Soul Calibur 6 has some similarities (seriously).

They should just kill the FM system. It was annoying garbage since the beginning.
