As the title says, your way of giving people new cosmetics is just lazy on your part and damn right irritating and fundamentally game play breaking.
Why is it lazy? Because you could of actually given us armour stats to use that could of benefited us but instead you went with the lazy option of the relic things, so that means you don’t have to keep either creating new armour appearances or updating them with different colour schemes or think of gameplay stats and buffs for pieces. and that to me is outright laziness. Warhammer has so many cool armours within it’s lore that you could of used and you just didn’t.
(granted yes this is beta and they are drip-feeding us content but from what i’ve seen i don’t think there are many cosmetics)
Second reason why it’s gameplay breaking is because some of those penances are just stupid to do. Simple as that. Complete a heresy match without taking melee damage, F*** O** pal! I’d rather do a mindless grind knowing I will at least at some point get it rather than knowing damn well I’m never getting that cool armour piece because of how dumb the challenge is.
Another point is because it breaks gameplay, I’ve gone the Preacher one where you have to not fire a shot and i tell you what, i felt useless in that match, because i couldn’t cover people or engage targets at range when i clearly needed to.
