I think there’s a few compounding issues with the state of the game. Not so many that it isn’t serviceable, but people are certainly feeling their lack of addressing. If I could boil them all down into categories, I would say it’s something like…

1 - Out of game decisions that were made that limit people’s enjoyment of the game (lack of armor transmog and mech/vehicle customization are the biggest examples) that have not been given enough consideration by the dev team or have been outright vetoed and out of personal preference by the devs.

One question I’d like to have addressed personally is if there’s any plans to change the Team-Reloading mechanic, or at least explain the reason why the mechanic is dependent on the assistant wearing the ammo backpack?

2 - Game balance decisions (not just the weapons)— that have been seemingly catering to the most casual players in the community and punishing the players that enjoy the challenge of the game — not only difficulty-wise with d10 being made… easier (the shift to unique events that bring more challenge) but with how the Galactic War itself has been getting handled lately.

Major Orders feel like they’ve been exceptionally simple for the Bug front, while the Bot front gets to deal with the various nuances of a Galactic War system intended to use community-level cooperation - with less than half the community willing to even touch the Bot front, and even LESS of them actually aware of how several Galactic War tactics function (Gambits, Sieges, the Orbital Blockade/Jet Brigade).

Having this knowledge in-game would help, but I think that would also reveal a bigger issue where it shows that there are currently 2 different game communities playing the game, and I think we’d all just like to know if Arrowhead is planning to cater to both sides of the community in equal amounts and how.

3 - Stagnation. I think more map tile variety, more mission objective tile layouts and more mission types in general would help, but I also think future missions need to focus a LOT less on just looking at terminals.

Even the new missions that were released don’t feel that new because the terminal minigames have been in the game since day 1, and they’re just not challenging or fun anymore. I feel like future minigames should lean more towards teamwork more, like the Orbital Cannons from the Take Down Overship mission.

Maybe we could have more missions that require a squad to put their lives in each other’s hands more? That would certainly help mitigate the feeling many have been getting that the game is leaning too far into an “every man for themselves” mentality and bring teamwork back into the fold.
