We all love this game or else we wouldnt be here on this forum.
Devs have done a good job, providing this game free to play, good graphics and well optimized.
But gameplay wise, there is room for improvement.
So, this topic is ment for both players and developers, a gathering place of player feedback.
I have seen many topics posted by players over the years with new ideas for crossout.
Wouldnt it be nice and convenient if they all stayed in one place?
Ok lets get started, there are 2 categories here.
Things that should be Fixed, and new Ideas from players to the devs.
FIXES:
Remove the ‘wobble’ of omnis, atoms and augurs while mouse steering, they used to be great for frontal weapons, but some patch inflicted them with crosshair wobble and instability a few years ago, not many people still play them since that.
The devs could change it back and give stability to those movement parts again.
Fix the perfect bot aim and unfair radarless explosiveless bot builds, we play this game to have fun and/or be competitive, and not have computer controlled npc Bots kill us with 0% miss chance.
Give the bots an inherent miss chance about 10-30 % just like normal people who dont use aimbot.
Fix the matchmaking servers, having to play 5vs8, 6vs8 and 7vs8 matches is not fun.
Increase speed and hp of drones by 10-15%, Yes drones suck, but many people still like to play them, and will be a drawback on the team because of this, unless they are buffed in some way, but not the fatum drone that one is pretty strong.
But for the other drones, the speed cap the devs gave them seriously hurts them, they used to be much faster, now your wheel drones or annihilators cant even keep up with a heavy cab with a fast engine, the devs overnerfed them since they have too many counter measures like interceptors, cloak, aegis, machineguns or other direct fast pewpew weapon.
Tritons, the current cancer, needs to be adressed with haste, we’ve had months of trying to survive against them now, with no avail.
They need some asap dev fixing, unless you want every game with atleast 50% triton users.
The Range Game, Crossout Devs seem to favor close range and melee destruction derby bumpercars gameplay, this creates groups of fast moving short range builds on a team that hunts solo slow moving or long range builds every match, unless they drive away fast enough and stay with the team.
Give all long ranged type weapons a damage boost based on range, like the storm, whirlwind or cricket, so they can atleast do some serious damage at range before they are ganked to death.
Artillery Weapons like the Mandrake and Heather, they are unwieldy, clunky and too much impact delay.
The damage is ok, but the miss chance is 80% or above.
Instead of constantly holding the mouse button, give them an activation click that arms them after a second and then the firing arc and area of impact shows for them, it would be much easier for your players hands and the longevity of their mice.
With the current impact delay, people will just drive away before the artillery shells hit them.
Also, give them a small indicator on the minimap to where they are aiming, like in world of warships.
Thresher grenade launcher aiming, for some reason i always have to aim slightly below the target to hit them, wich seems counterintuative for a weapon with a slow projectile and plunging arc trajecory, go fix this unrealistic aspect of that weapon please devs.
Tracks without Traction, what even is the point of tracks that protect against melee, while being pushed around with ease from every other movement part except hovers?, they should be heavy bricks glued to the ground.
Merge the helicopter and robotic legs mode with the standard mode, nobody wants increased wait times, but that is what devs created when they split the playerbase into 2 halves.
The game has been slowly losing players over the years, why divide them into 2 gametypes and increase wait times even more?, not a smart choice if you ask me.
IDEAS:
Community mapmaking contests, let players upload their own created maps to the exhibition, and hold a contest every few months, giving the winning map a spot in crossout’s server maplist, and its creator a big gift in coins.
2nd and 3rd place a small coin gift for their effort but no spot on the server maplist, perhaps they can improve them further for next map contest.
A 1 energy generator, you have energy generators for each number from 2 to 10, but why is there not a 1 energy generator?.
Custom co-drivers, a way to spend your intelligence points, give them a skill tree, something like mechwarrior online, an increasing coin cost for hiring more, and a coin cost to respec them.
Also i would like to note the target decay and target retention skills from that game, i think it would be a good addition to crossout for people running normal radars instead of maxwells and dopplers.
Voicepacks, Voip and expanded voicemenu.
Remember that game tribes? with its male and female voicepacks and many emotes and commands you could do with it?, crossout could benefit from this if they implemented even a small fraction of this into the game.
The current system is so lackluster, like it was made to compensate for limited button controller users.
Crossout is a PC game not a console game, so give us expanded voicemenus.
Also Voip would be funny i think, its funny in all multiplayer pvp games ive seen with this feature.
Playerbase tracking, it would be nice to see where the majority of players are, at wich powerscore, so you can join games at that powersscore and have reduced wait times, something like this:
Hover overdrive module, wich temporarily increased hover altitude, making them act like boosters for a certain amount of time, with players controlling the boost with a button.
They are jet engines after all, why not give them a boost upwards?, and maybe heat the hovers up while doing this.
I invite you guys to post your own fixes and ideas here, to keep it all in 1 place for convenience, and i ask you to be civil and respectful to each other in this topic please.
Below here i will post links to forum topics that are trying to post new ideas or fixes.
