Not really sure what the recommended channel for feedback is, but I noticed a lot of people aren’t talking about some of the things I wanted to suggest.
- When you click start, you can’t open the battlepass or customization menu until the clock counts down and you actually start searching. It just feels bad.
- While searching for a match, it doesn’t seem that you can make any customization changes? I’d guess this was intended behavior, but there is no indication of that, it just says press x to equip (series x btw), but pressing it doesn’t do anything.
About game balancing:
- Some of the objective points need some tuning on BTB. It seems like distance and cover was considered on the points, but things like one side having a massive hill to throw batteries down wasn’t. This is a beta after all so I’d assume some of that would be addressed as you gather win/loss data for the various sides.
Now that those are out of the way, the things everyone is talking about:
- The cosmetics you all made looks great! But the armor system feels kind of restrictive, mostly in that you get excited that you unlocked new coatings/armor, but can’t equip them with the helmet you unlocked and want to use. Personally, my favorite coatings are the free tier ones, but they all seem to be mk7 and the battlepass stuff is mk5, so I find myself using the free stuff even after buying the premium pass. That’ll probably change as I unlock more, but It definitely is frustrating at the beginning of the pass. I think just making the coatings available for all armor cores would be a decent way to improve it.
- With the challenge system, the change made to add a “Complete a match” challenge was a great improvement, but sometimes you have challenges that you physically can’t get in certain matches (shade turrets, weapon challenges, game modes) and it is a bit frustrating to have to play 3-5 matches just to get the opportunity to complete a challenge. I don’t want leaving a match when seeing no BRs spawn (had that happen in a 4v4) to become the thing.
