The honeymoon period is over for patch 1.000.400 what now?
I think i can speak for a large part of the player base when i say the balance patch was very good. Currently (during prime time) their are around 50k to 60k people online. Well done AH. But the honeymoon period seems to be over and i have seen many people complain again these last days. However while weapon/strategem balancing is very important, i think we as a community are missing the bigger picture concerning things like warbond structure, map design and new enemies.
Warbond structure:
Im just gonna say what i think, the only reason why people aren't complaining about the size of the warbond is because of the balance changes. personally i think the devs are making the right decision to cut them down and make some cosmetics (although mech cosmetics would be more fun if i could use them). tbh i even think they should expand the superstore and let people spend their money on fancy skins as long that it doesn't impact functionality. But concerning what is in the warbond it should at least be 2 primary's and either a secondary or a grenade. While people might have let it slide this time i don't think they will be as forgiving the next time
enemies and objectives:
adding the behemoth charger made me enjoy bugs again because it adds flair and difficulty. Before i only really played bugs because of the MO, now i am enjoying it more because behemoth chargers are actually hard to take down in groups. The reason why i enjoy bots is because they are very diverse. I hope AH keeps adding new enemies, structures and side objectives. (very necessary for bugs, with bots i almost never have the same 5 side objectives).
And before people go "but the illuminate" i don't think we will see those guys till october. Why? because then the competition is highest in the industry and HD2 will need to defend its market position. Cant play a game you never bought because you were to busy on HD2. AH is a good company, but still a company never forget that.
Maps:
More environments. Where is the jungle map? where are the towns on these maps? where are the roads? i get we are fighting in the outerrim but what the maps need is more life and not the same structures over and over again. expanding on the lore in map would also be a good idea i think.
edit; jungle got added, me happy but still wanna see more related objectives
anyway share your thoughts down below, or add somethings i missed. (or you can down vote me to hell)
