Implant systme is a blatant cashgrab

With the design DBG has chosen they HAVE to use random boxes because duplicated implants are the only source of ISO-4. Even if you had ALL the inplants you would be forced to buy new boxes to get ISO-4 to level up your implants.

This sucks.

Construction was never meant to be a solo operation, none of this game was meant to be played solo. If you build a base as part of a squad then that paywall disappears. But, construction is jacked and not well intertwined with the real game, so good luck getting a squad to help you. There was a Chinese squad that did it on Connery and they locked every continent due to victory points while they were on. Solo bases don't stand a chance no matter how much money you spend in the game.

Who said I was only talking about solo bases? And who said i see "winning" as locking continents? Of course you can't lock a whole continent alone, but you can get a huge amount of kills with construction bases. And if a whole squad would just buy a good amount of construction elements, they also could lock the continent, like you just said.

But i honestly don't care about this.

This is the part I disagree with. Building a successful base is a team effort, and with a team the cost for construction is reasonable. The base isn't powerful, it's all about the troops reinforcing it. I just don't think construction is nearly as P2W as this new implant system, this really takes the cake.
