ATTENTION: THIS IS NOT A RANT, HATE POST, WORLD OF WARCRAFT FANBOI post, or any such stupid retarded thing you can think of. This is feedback to the devs or something thats discussable. You guys probably just LOVE the way it is right now, good for you, but i ask that you look at these issues i discuss, and really think about it. Is this game worth it? Its coming in under 30 days, so don't give me this "its beta" crap. Just read.
-----------DIFFICULTY LEVEL, SET TO EXTREMELY EASY???!!!! If they don't revamp the friendly npcs, monsters health, damage and armor, player weapons and armor, this game is going to suck hardcore. If im level 10 and im killing a level 16 in a open grassfield, no cover, and killing one after the other and also having 3+ of them firing on me at once. What the hell do the AFS even need us for? A little bunny could own these Bane, what pushovers. Having level 50s in a newb zone makes it even easier, all the friendly npcs should be the levels of the other bane. Good lord, if you changed that and made it balanced, that'd be a colossal improvement.
------------ THE AI IS STUPID. Drop ships are landing in between 10 troops and only landing 3 weak and pathetic bane and not even a shield drone. Drop ships are landing in the same spots and landing too few soldiers, it should drop at least 5 soldiers.
Bane isn't powerful enough or smart enough to take anything on the map except Imperial Valley which i could defend all by myself as a soldier class even after they broke down the forcefield and had an entire army outside marching in. Don�t tell me this is OPINIONATED, because im doing 700 a hit and 1600 a crit while they do 25 dmg to me, lightbenders (snipers) do more dmg to me but they are easily picked off. And because i keep a full arsenal of weapons not even the Predators are a challenge, EMP weapons ftw.
I watch monsters attacking each other and when they melee, it looks like they got a 10 second delay in their brains between attacks, well not 10 seconds, but you get my point.
Doesn't seem like the AI has good enough mission based scripts, they don't have an objective, they just see a target and start shooting it. Only thing that makes them seem smart is they got a huge line of sight and aggro radius, but they are dumb. Which doesn�t make up for the lack of PvP, since there wont be any�..we need smart and fun opponents. I don�t care who you are, but who plays in sports or plays any kind of game, and really gets any satisfaction out of having NO challenge? How can that be any fun whatsoever or satisfying? If you’re one of those people that cheat all the time, then I feel sorry for you.
-------CAREERS are lacking in skills and you can�t even use them until you get the logos symbol for it. Need to have more skills and it needs to be easier to spot logos, like put them on our radar so we don�t walk right past them. I like having to go on hunts but its annoying when you can�t even use your base class skills because your logos is behind a locked door, and your forced to search in this big zone and have no idea where the hell it is. I couldn�t find any quest giver for my logos in Concordia divide for the logos I needed except for the one that was behind a locked door which got even more annoying.
Careers are even more unremarkable in groups since everything is so easy you don�t even have to really bring out your class skills when you can just two shot things with your rifle. And you can just steamroll at ultra lightspeed style and groups don�t even stick together because they don�t have to, you can solo the whole game.
----CLONING, it seems nice at first but all it is, is like SAVING your game, and its totally unnecessary in the way its implemented. If you made a mistake, you go back to your clone and you have to re level everything. That sucks. We need to just be able to respect our attributes and skills for a hefty fee.
----CRAFTING? No theres no real crafting, economy and we get a crapload of overflowing money that we don�t even need from all the junk we sell. That needs to get fixed. You can�t learn things you just use cubes that contain info on them and they get used up after one attempt, lame.
----NOT VERY DYNAMIC, only place bane can take is imperial valley, not if a player is there however, I can defend it all by myself. They should be able to take the entire map and then players can get quests to retake it all back. That would provide a dynamic map, not the pathetic stuff going on right now. Reminds me of some worthless World of Warcraft Battleground.
----SLOW PATCHING IN BETA, what the heck is this? You’re going to patch it the day before launch or something? Good lord, you’re going to be getting a huge amount of repeating bug tickets, you’re just making your job harder and keeping the same bugs on reoccurring while were trying to focus on helping you fix the game, good god.
Fix all these things, and this game will go from a Poor Single Player MMO, forced linear story gameplay and annoying bugs, to a game that is possibly going places.
What does everyone else think? I couldn't possibly imagine anyone could think this game is ready to hit launch? Or do you?
