Something 343 could do to reduce a lot of the Fomo with this shop is make a calendar of when what items will be in the shop on certain days. This calendar could be an item that appears in the “News” section of the game so that players can reference it throughout the season.
This would be a great step in a way to make the shop system better. (obviously there’s other issues still like overpriced bundles, sometimes only 1 daily bundle a week, etc but this post isn’t to be about that)
343 did a good thing when they made the graphics for announcing all of the 20th Anniversary items for Mcc which also showed what items were available each week ahead of them being released.
A system like this would heavily benefit the player as there are probably a large number of players who are waiting for certain armor pieces/other cosmetics, etc to appear in the shop that we know exist from either artwork, the mobile waypoint app letting us see what armors are currently hidden but most likely planned for season 1, etc. For example I see a lot of players including myself asking about when will certain armor pieces come to the shop whether it be Emile’s Security shoulder, CQB helmet, Carter’s Commando shoulder, etc.
Being able to look at a calendar and see that X item will be in the shop would be a nice addition to the game and remove these constant questions of “Is X item available yet” and so on.
