Game needs gameplay changes

IMO, they need to stop painting over features and just fix all the stuff they’ve broken or abandoned. There was a cool game underneath all this crap, but it needed some creative input it never got. Instead they just focused on new product$ and light predatory marketing, and abandoned (painted over) almost every feature in this game.

something, imo, like this could work

part 2 - SMALL CHANGES WITH BIG IMPACTS & the “ANTI-SEALCLUBBER PROTOCOL”

1st - remove the screen/button for mode selection
2nd - add 2 buttons in the same place where the mode button was in the garage. One Button for PVP, and One Button for PVE
3rd - each of these 2 buttons creates two drop-down menues side by side (as shown in my VERY poorly drawn sketch at the end of this post )…a MODE/RULES selection menu, and a LFM/LFP menu
4th - adjust provided match parameters and/or use LFM/LFP to find party members
5th - click “start match”…

THE MATCH RULES MENU
the next rules listed are something that i believe would solve many issues that XO is facing (…insert…“thank you Cpt. Obvious” meme )
I also think that said rules would be easy to implement and would benefit the game a lot…here goes:

• GAME TIER - the player can select which “tier of competition” they want to play from 1 to 4. each tier affects not just the “level of opponent”, but also the “the tier of resources” that the player can farm, so to speak, as follows:

Tier 1 Games - ONLY SPECIAL OR LOWER tier equipment can be used. this does NOT affect Accessories, Paints, Stickers…etc.
Tier 2 Games - EPIC OR LOWER tier equipment can be used. …etc.
Tier 3 Games - LEGENDARY OR LOWER tier equipment can be used. …etc.
Tier 4 Games - RELIC OR LOWER tier equipment can be used…A.K.A. “ANYTHING GOES TIER”

NOTE that a player IS ALLOWED to participate in “HIGH TIER” games with “LOW TIER” equipment, BUT NOT VICE VERSA…so a player can play a tier 4 game with only Epic equipment, but a player with Legendary equipment COULD NOT play any game LOWER than TIER 3 ( Sparvester )

ALSO, PS should still be used to “Streamline the match”, but it could have an “Easier Proces” doing it…

• RESOURCE - the player selects Any One resource they want to grind. “higher tier resources” require “higher tier games”, as follows:
  Tier 1 Games - SCRAP or COPPER
  Tier 2 Games - WIRE, PLASTIC, SCRAP or COPPER…scrap & copper get a small quantity boost
  Tier 3 Games - BATTERIES, ELECTRONICS, WIRE, PLASTIC, SCRAP, or COPPER…wire & plastic get a small quantity boost, scrap & copper get a medium quantity boost
  Tier 4 Games - URANIUM, BATTERIES, ELECTRONICS, WIRE, PLASTIC, SCRAP, or COPPER…batteries & electronics get a small quantity boost, wire & plastic get a medium quantity boost, scrap & copper get a high quantity boost
  Uranium could also be tied to specific types of matches, such as Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch or like “Ungrindable in Raids” or something…etc.
• GAME MODE - here the player can select what type(s) of game(s) they want to play, such as:
  DEATHMATCH - simple 10 vs 10 or a 16 players Royal Rumble style game
  TEAM DEATHMATCH - a four 5-man-team game mode. 4 teams Slugfest
  BASES GAMES - the standard games so far…nothing wrong with that
  ALL APPLICABLE - self explanatory…
  …etc. which is to say that Any Future Game Mode can be simply added as just “1 more option”
  Note Also, that in some cases, PVP & PVE may have their own unique modes (such a PVE having RAIDS)
• WAR FRONT SELECTION (name is still W.I.P. ) - what this means in simple terms, is a list of icons, each representing a type of vehicle, plus one for leviathans. players can basicaly select which vehicles they want/don’t want to play against…mech&helis, only cars, …etc. you get the picture…
• SPECIAL EVENTS & PVP/PVE SPECIFIC - this menu is literally for either the selection of Special Events, or BRAWLS (PVP) / PATROL (PVE). i felt that those deserved their own mode selection…

THE LFM/LFP MENU
this menu is solely used to find party members in their respective categories (PVP and PVE).

ALLOW EVERY ITEM TO BE CRAFTED
THE DUMBEST thing that a game that is “essentially F2P” can do is PAYWALL CRAFTING…the reasons for that are plentifold, but i’ll just use the “money protocol” here…and ask a simple question:

• “How Much RL Cash would be spent if Item Availability on market was higher and/or more diverse, or if FUSED ITEMS Could be sold on the market…?”

MAKE FUSING COST RESOURCES, NOT MULTIPLE ITEMS…self explanatory…also make STABILYSERS craftable!..more market traffic …etc.

Well, I say this could work…thoughts…?

addendum…forgot to say…REMOVE CROSSCROWNS, they’re annoying and without purpose…simply “express them in $$$”
