This game has nothing to foster long term retention.
Part of the problem:
- impossible to interact with other people in this game
- chat is filled with spam
- you underestimated how many people find VOIP coms in online games now days unbearable and thus don't use it
- what if I see a person in my AO, how do I engage them and ask if they want to group? You can try and catch their name and send a whisper but rarely is that feasible
- matchmaking is sporadic and doesn't seem to work a lot of the time
- nothing really to work for once you near max gear score, at this point it turns into Diablo 3, only less fun
- crafting becomes utterly useless (actually it was pretty much useless the entire time, rarely was there anything I could craft that was an upgrade)
- why were all the upgrades to the bases merely cosmetic. They don't open up any new activities. Maybe the farm could sell stuff to give you short term boosts
- no marketplace (this is the big one right here, notice how Diablo 3 population disappeared over night when they removed it) I wanna be able to sell mats, weapons, gear. (this also plays into crafting being so bad)
- environment - the physics in this game feel 1990-ish. Why can't my guy climb over a trash bag? Why can I hop over this 2 foot brick wall here but not they 10 over there?
- no player or clan housing or something for you to personalize and work towards
- the weapons are all out of whack. an M60 has near full stability? While an M249 has half as much? (I carried an M249 for 8 years in the Army and have fired many many many rounds thru every LMG that was in service at the time, so many rounds I got sick of doing it, sick of cleaning the weapons afterwards too)
- the reticles, seriously, changing your scope doesn't change your reticle or the way the weapon feels? (with the exception of the long range scope on sniper rifles) that feels so half-*** and 1990-ish
Feels like this game needed a better end-game design and another year of development.
So frustrating these games that could have been so much more. But Ubisoft is a cash grab studio. They are only gonna spend as much R&D as needed to reach X amount of revenue. I'm willing to bet they've already moved most of the staff to their next title and left a skeleton crew to push out patches.Originally Posted by Ultraminor Go to original post
I worked for SOE and EA in the past, both were the same way. Cash grab factories.
a looter is all about time managing. You have to rush to get a maximum number of items per hour...Originally Posted by Harshilizer Go to original post
The biggest fail of this game is that they are trying to copy diablo3 and destiny while they should try to copy path of exile and warframe...
Rushed to the end? I took my time. I log about 60 hours a week at my day job as a software engineer for apple. I also spend 4 hours a week volunteering for a group that assists elderly with things like grocery store trips and helping them pay bills and sort their mail. I also spend one Saturday a month volunteering at an animal shelter. And yet I am casually at end-game already.Originally Posted by Harshilizer Go to original post
Your response seems more like a whiny bratty kid who can't cope with someone having a different opinion.
Oh look, another "Mommy! Someone has a different opinion than me, do something!" responses. Grow up and get over yourself kid.
Oh look, another "Ubisoft can do no wrong and no criticism is allowed." post. Yawn.Originally Posted by Harshilizer Go to original post
Which part of Warframe ? I played a fair amount of WF (500h roughly) and I would never say it's a good example for end game content. When people say fashion is the true WF end game, they're not joking. I don't play it anymore because there is truly no end game.Originally Posted by V.i.c.i.o.u.S Go to original post
While I only played PoE for one or two league (don't enjy the genre nearly as much as I used to), I agree they do many things rights.
