    I've got to agree for the most part. There's just very little that's been shown and I can only really attribute it to the fact that the game released then the devs buggered off for the holidays when they should have held back until this year when they could give constant feedback and bug fixes.

    I'm just desperately clinging on to the hope that the game will improve dramatically soon, most of my outfit has disbanded because we've pretty much done everything worth doing and as a platoon commander myself I'm sick of doing the same thing every time I log on, it's just getting boring now.

    I have the same hopes, really. It's why I'm still here, and it's why I try to actually discuss on these forums, even though by all indications the devs would rather read Twitter and Reddit than their own site.

    My biggest worry at this point is simply that they've doomed the game to stagnation through their decision to launch early enough to catch the holiday window. This game launched with a lot left unfinished and unimplemented. At some point you have to have a go/no-go resulting in pulling the trigger, but with MMOs you virtually never get a second chance, even if it's an MMOFPS. Realistically they probably should've held off on the Steam release if they were going to launch so early to save a major marketing push for after they'd gotten more features implemented, but I'm guessing the financial side of the house didn't give them a lot of options.

    All conjecture on my part, but it's not like we haven't seen the same thing happen with like, ten different MMOs now.

    The vehicle system is based off the 1970's, what with no ground vehicles going past 55 mph or so. Flashes should be able to drive at 100 mph. What fun would that be!

    You forgot
    -Vanu faction has been redesigned and now actually requires skill to be competitive.

    Not bad.

    There is no problem with base design. The problem is that players won't leave the bases to fight properly for them.

    So instead of putting some actual thought into the root of the issues the community has, you opted for two dozen blanket nerfs/buffs. Good work!

    Now I'm actually glad they're taking their time to figure things out.

    4/10 for creativity
    1/10 for humour
    0/10 for constuctive feedback

    Uninformed too. Recall to WG is already in game. Open your map, press Redeploy and select the WG. Done. Being able to view map status while waiting for respawn is coming, as part of the spawn map revamps on the roadmap. Most turrets have a basic zoom under the right mouse button, as do vehicle turrets, PROVIDED the owner has scopes certed and equiped. More zoom than that is not needed.

    About the only things i agree with as something that needs to be added ASAP without close scrutiny first to see if it would REALLY improve all aspects of the game long term, and that aren't already on the roadmap are the centering option for the main map and getting rid of that annoying tripple load.

    Basically,

    Nerf Air,
    Allow Grenade spam for longer
    and screw with NC Maxes

    No, thanks. I would rather then game I have now then all the things you propose other then the ESF RP's
  11. JudgeDeath

    This actually would make some sense ... but since you get libs and mbts allways from the warpgate ... it would be totally pointless.

    Another suggestion to nerf all air while buffing AA. Still waiting for the one that removes the ability to fly from ESFs and Libs (while also buffing ground based AA because **** you thats why)
