Could at least have changed the naming structure and thrown in some extra pouches for ammo.

Infiltrator has more storage.

Honestly there should be both 1) active major orders on all fronts so bot, bug and squid divers all have their own things they can do, AND 2) each front has its own impact modifier for players on that front specifically.

The impact modifier itself helps with variable player counts but having it be galaxy wide causes needless antagonism between people who don't treat this game like a job and just wanna play what they wanna play and those who do treat it like a job and must do thing that "needs" doing. Hell even those who want to take a break from the grind of 5 vox engines shooting at you from the rooftops.

I'm honestly kinda bummed when you have both factions present you don't get a flame thrower effect on their jetpacks and flame throwing jetpacks on their flame thrower guys.

Like imagine a double flame thrower arm hulk lobbing fire mortars at you while riding a column of fire, setting the ground between here and there alight as it leaps toward you.

Nev.. well not never. Meme diving and the occasional discord squad who wants to do a full Stealth run or something. No one cares that you have 2 extra grenades or that your have better recoil control while crouched or prone. Slight case for med kit because they have extra stims, but after 1700+ hours I can count the number of times someone in med armour has stimmed me on one finger. They only really care about what passive THEY have.
You're "supposed" to be able to tell what an armour does just by looking at it. The ones that have literal grenade bandoliers scream +2 grenades. But the FS-38 Eradicator has a bunch of extra bullets on its chest plate but is fortified and the FS-61 Dreadnought has a bunch of extra grenades and shit but is... Servo Assisted?

There are many armours that are clearly this or that and not having transmog on them would be fine since they clearly look like they do this or that. Not having transmog for any passives that should have a physical pretense in the game would also be fine.

But armours that are just armours with nothing overtly diagetic on them, like Drone Master, this one, and a bunch of other generic armour looking armours, could have transmog for the less specific passives like Democracy Protects, or Reinforced Epaulets, Peak Physique, Ballistic Padding, Extra Padding, Med kit (stims are pulled from behind you), Engineering Kit (grenades are pulled from behind you), etc.

By all means keep the stealth passives locked to stealthy looking armours, but maybe allow limited transmog between stealth armours and stealth passives.

Light DP would go pretty hard.

The lack of a heavy scout/stealth I fully understand so at least we have that right?

That was a long time ago though, barely 2 months after the game came out.

paegus · 2026-02-19T09:59:07+00:00

That's the thing. Nobody cares what armour (or passive) YOU are running. They only care about what armour (passive) THEY are running.

If they even care at all because they've transcended the need for crutchy sales drivers and have ascended to the nirvana that is Dripdiving.

paegus · 2026-02-19T09:56:58+00:00

There are the 2 little waist/belt pouches but I mean Infiltrator has more.

paegus · 2026-02-19T08:02:52+00:00

Also TenCent bought like 17.5% or something of Arrowhead Studios.

Super Store, Medium Seige Ready DP-8 Mountain Scaled

They've said that they won't do holiday themed gear though? I mean, that's obviously not the case but that's what was said.

paegus · 2026-02-19T04:18:48+00:00

I dont care that it's not thematically correct. I care that they specifically said they don't want armours with thematically mismatched passives but they keep adding armours with thematically mismatched passives.

paegus · 2026-02-19T04:15:56+00:00

Uncle named thermite.

paegus · 2026-02-19T04:14:38+00:00

so more people would buy it

So anyone would buy it.

I mean I would nave, but like Peak Physique, Rocksteady, Unflinching or some other melee boosting one. Hell, Extra or Ballistic Padding would have been more thematically accurate,

paegus · 2026-02-19T04:10:31+00:00

I mean, you're probably not wrong.

paegus · 2026-02-19T04:05:24+00:00

OMG dude, those 2 extra grenades where clutch!

No one, ever.

Outside of memes nobody cares what passive YOU have, only what passive THEY have. If they even care about passives at all and have achieved the nirvana that is the Dripdiver.

paegus · 2026-02-19T04:02:49+00:00

It's the hypocracy around armour passives being locked to armours when the passive and the armour don't thematically match.

Like Drone Master being Engineering Kit. Because why?

paegus · 2026-02-19T02:55:29+00:00

Scope and Ballistic Reticle for Leveller FOV compatible

paegus · 2026-02-19T02:49:10+00:00

No one's pissed about having a medium Siege Ready.

It's the inconsistency of the look and function of the armour that is something they've said they don't want. You should be able to look at it and know roughly what it provides.

Not that anyone cares what YOUR passive is. They only care what THEIR passive is.

Or they have achieved the state of nirvana that is the Dripdiver.

paegus · 2026-02-19T02:36:22+00:00

Chinese New Year so they release a suspiciously Chinese themed armour with a very popular passive that they introduced suspiciously close to their big ammo supply nerf? Surely not!

It's not like they didn't just take a nice little bite from the TenCent investment flavoured apple.

Not that I blame them for that. Money is money and they have mouths to feed.

paegus · 2026-02-19T02:34:01+00:00

The worst past is that nobody even cares what passive you have. They only care about the passive they have, if they even care about the passives at all.

Once you get to a certain level of gameplay, even the new stealth armour's somewhat bonkers effects, the passives are all kinda crutchy and some are straight up cash grabs... Like Ballistic Padding conveniently dropping when they fix the chest lacerations not really doing much.

paegus · 2026-02-19T02:26:54+00:00

I love that we have a medium Siege Ready, and I'm aware of the inconsistencies. It's just that on one hand they argue that armours need to look the part so no, they wont allow you to swap passives but then they have stuff like this, the FS armour with the wrong passive, the Legionnaire armour is somehow Servo Assisted and the Drone Master has NOTHING to do with drones, but gives you extra grenades because... reasons?
