i get why they were made private, i understand it, but its stupid that they weren’t just improved or anything like that, i mean honestly, this is just poor game design and it shouldn’t be a thing when private games are only available for premade squads which isn’t something everybody has or can have. and the squad finder isn’t really working, nobody uses it. please remove private penances, that, or make it so that they’re public and NOT the way they are now.

They were made private, because this is how far Fatshark were willing to go to admit they totally missed the mark with them. What should have happened is that they should be removed from the game.

People that had already completed them may have been spurned by such a move though.

I don’t mind the existence of those one bit.
Don’t anger people by taking away something they earned if you can easily help it, it just isn’t a productive use of your community manager’s time.
That they are required for some other pennances that provide tangible rewards is less acceptable.

Exactly this. They just need to remove them from the other multitask penances

They should allow a one-player private match, other than that for some of them it is a sensible choice.

Ye, damn be the quality of the Bots, that can (but should) be fixed later.

Yeah, if not for the fact that can be useful to start a match leaving a slot open for a friend that can join in ~10 min.
I’m not sure if the matchmaking system has solved this need, I haven’t touched it tbh.
Edit: unrelated, but it’s for this and similar reasons that I think the train map should somehow always be available. At least until they develop more short ones.
There are still many stupid penances out there and they are not being changed.
So every month old and especially new players complain about them again.
I’d be fine with the private penances if they didn’t BLOCK PROGRESS!
Put them in their own little category and replace them with some non-private easier-to-do penances that serve the same progression progress.
Instead of 1v1 a monstrosity using only Brain Burst in a private game, you could have that you need to get x amount of kills using the Kinetic Flayer passive instead… for example.

Funny thing is, they already made the private penances MUCH easier.
The original reason for making them private in the first place, no longer exists.
So they could simply un-private them and the problem would be solved immediately.
No need to replace it.
As it is now, it is very easy to get in regular pubs.
At least it would be, if it was not limited to private lobbies.
You already only need to deal 50% boss dmg.
That should just happen naturally within a few matches played, if you use brain rupture for boss dps.
And how many people did them the intended way
And how many people cheesed the f-ck out of them?
Easiest solution for this is to either complete them for all, or add the skins to shop for 50k.
A challenge ISNT something that makes you troll your team, thats bad design.
The “stay on <X hp” or “dont get hit in melee” and others like that are absurd, because they promote the exactly toxic gameplay all people hate.
They arent “difficult” they are stupid
How SM2 does challenges is nice, put you in a room, give you a specific task that the class can do and voila.
Or if thats too manhours expensive, just remake the challenges to “killed X mixed enemies in melee while receiving no health damage”

So make it a non-private penance, then.
