Warzone devs revert UAV prices after 1-day \u201cexperimentation\u201d ActivisionCall of Duty: Warzone\u2019s developers have reverted the UAV price increase in Vanguard Royale after just one day. In an update, they explained that this was part of their \u201cshort-term experimentation\u201d process. When you play Warzone, you are not just a soldier, a teammate, or a competitor. You are apparently also a guinea pig, in the effort to test things out and create a better game for everyone. While we already knew that the developers experimented with player reaction to modes like Iron Trials and weekly playlist tweaks, it seems they\u2019re now trying out smaller alterations as well. To start the Pacific integration, Raven Software upped UAV prices to $6,000. In December 2021\u2019s holiday event, they tested an increase to $12,000. Now, they\u2019ve gone ahead and tested an increase to $9,000 for Vanguard Royale \u2013 and reverted it after just one day. Warzone devs revert UAV price increase after 1-day experiment \ud83d\udee0\ufe0f Live today! The arrival of Rebirth Iron Trials, adjustments to Vanguard Royale, and bug fixes! \u23f2\ufe0f ETA: 10am PT The Season Two Patch Notes have been amended (see Mar 3): https:\/\/t.co\/jL7RTPlDF5 pic.twitter.com\/M3jVszGRni \u2014 Raven Software (@RavenSoftware) March 3, 2022 In the March 2 update, Raven said they were upping UAV costs to $9,000 as a \u201ccompromise where UAVs will remain accessible, but less inclined to be so readily exploitable.\u201d On March 3, they quickly pivoted from that decision and reverted the price to $6,000. Explaining why, the devs said they intend \u201cto monitor match pacing closer to the original design.\u201d Further, the team clarified that \u201cproviding players with a fun and consistent long-term experience can sometimes take a little bit of short-term experimentation.\u201d As such, the one-day price bump was simply a way to gauge sentiment. It seems that the Warzone devs are intent on ironing out the game\u2019s pacing for the future. Players should therefore expect spontaneous adjustments like this UAV price movement, especially in the non-default playlists. With the game\u2019s cash economy also being toyed with, a lot of tweaks are on the table. The devs\u2019 communications are emphasizing one thing, though: these are not random adjustments, but all serve an experimental purpose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
