So we have plenty of different types of players and over the years it is one of the thing that I have come to love about Crossout. You can pick any part of the game and play it - unlike in many games when you level forward and can never go back.
So, because of this we get people with a completely different game experience.
In most cases I think it is 3 groups.
Group one: loves to play low and mid PS but has no experience or desire to play in high PS.
Group two: loves to play high PS and has done it so long they forget what low PS is like.
Group Three: this is the guy that has been around forever and plays all PS ranges and has had experience with all the weapons from top to bottom.
Now - with that out of the way here is what hit me today.
When making complaint threads you still have those 3 groups and because of this it can become very confusing for the dev team to read and very frustrating to all three groups because they feel like no one understands. (Their is one more group “Clan Elitist” which I have been in before, but it is hard to talk about that group without sounding overly negative, so I’ll skip that)
So keep this in mind:
First of all everyone wants the weapons used at their own PS levels to be pretty balanced based on rarity and weapon type. But…
GROUP 1 Low/Mid PS players-
They are more worried about keeping high PS items nerfed or out of low PS. They feel like it is unfair to die to legendary items and relics.
GROUP 2 High PS players-
They are more worried about low and mid PS weapons being OP. It’s the “my item costs more then yours so it should be better then yours.” They feel like it is unfair to die to mid and low PS items.
Group 3 Jake of all trades - they want balance from low PS to High PS and think both groups have a valid points. But both groups can not relate to this stance.
When having conversations we need to keep this in mind. I understand most people are OCD with blinders on only worried about their own world. But we can do it in a more constructive manor that takes into account the whole game and not just one part.
The whole “I don’t play clan wars so that don’t mater to me” OR “Why don’t you get out of the kiddy pool and come play with the big boys?” OR “That build looks ugly to me so your stupid, space armor hover boy” Or “Meta is the only way! Why do I have to play with all these noobs!”
Maybe, just maybe, there is a little truth and a little drama in all of it? Right? And just maybe most of us are smart enough and adult enough to understand all the sides?
NAH!! What am I thinking!
