I think so too. Low player population is probably their biggest issue effecting game-play, IMO (struggling matchmaker, long queues), but over all the game looks great and plays…intermittently well. It does have issues, but
there isn’t anything else like it, and after playing it, I find it hard to want to play anything else. It makes other shooters seem way too boring and one-dimensional by comparison, I think.
IMO, it’s the best game system out there, but they seem prone to screwing it up periodically. They appear disorganized and unprepared often. I bet they don’t have any idea what they will be doing next year at this time, and I don’t know how a company can be run without some kind of yearly planning, or outline. I don’t think they plan that far out, but I think they should, if they aren’t.
They aren’t spending that money on shoes apparently. What does happen to all the money, I wonder? Does Gaijin just devour it somehow? It doesn’t look like these guys at Targem are getting paid a lot. I’d like to see what they drive to work (I bet it’s ugly). Maybe they take the bus, IDK. They better get their schit together though, because I don’t think that crowd would make for good manual labor. Jesus…black socks and sandals? Those sure are are nerds, but nerds with a real cool vision, maybe my favorite nerds, and are nerds who deserve better…or do they need a swift kick in the arse to help them to realize their potential? IDK.
It seems like this game should be less peripheral and more main-stream than it is. Maybe the general public is just too stupid to grasp this game. Covid-19 showed us all (that were paying attention) that people are indeed pretty stupid, generally, and the gross population globally is borderline retarded. Is it just too complicated?
So, maybe that is another argument for developing Adventure Mode into a place where kids can simply drive around, shoot bots, explore, and run errands for Ivy (a simplified version of Crossout), but there is virtually nothing interesting going on there. They could do so very much more with that mode, and should, IMO.
I think they should rework faction builds into functional builds that players can actually use, and are fun to look at and drive around. They currently are not that at all, nor can the new guy even build half that stuff because they won’t have the equipment they need. Factions should guide the beginner through all the necessary steps to earn the parts to build those cars, but they don’t, and why would they even want to? Those cars stink, but they sure don’t have too, and there is no reason they couldn’t be reworked to actually be functional. All they need is a Trucker and some Borers for Christ’s sake, but that isn’t even in there.
New players need some proper examples of what actually works in this game. If they had that, maybe they wouldn’t just quit so often. How gddmn hard would it be to just come up with some faction builds that actually function in this universe to replace the garbage they have in the faction garages currently? It’s basically them just playing their own phking game until it works…I digress. Point is, the lobby at the entrance of this game sucks. This game caters to whales way too much, and people who don’t have all that crap in their inventory are getting pwnd and just leaving.
They need to focus more on beginners. They need more new players, and features for the white and blue level players to enjoy. This game can’t be all about Clan Wars, sideways Hovers, Porcupines, Missiles, and mine layers…unless you start them out with that kind of crap. How about Common Tank tracks, or Rare flamethrowers, eh? Starting kids out with those phcked up (extremely difficult to aim) rare missiles and rockets is not fun. If any group of players could use homing missiles and drones, it’s them, the beginners, not the veterans. Make the gddmn veterans and whales have to aim their weapons to win.
Their common cabs suck too (way too slow), and are mostly fugly. Give aces some cool cars, cool weapons, and a cool place to drive around an blow stuff up (like what Adventure Mode could be) and I bet this game would have better numbers, and then maybe the developers could buy some decent shoes…the office looks nice though.
The game needs to be reworked at the beginner level, IMO. They focus way too much on end game BS, and high PS game-play, I think.
