There are some things I like and some I don't.
I Like:
- The story, as always, it adds a nice touch to the game and is always welcomed!
- The trailer/story from the outlands released with it - again, more story is always nice, especially when it's animated so well! Give my absolute reverance to your guys' art and animation teams - they're killing it!
- The idea of a crafting system, crafting is a neat addition.
- Rampart is a cool Legend!
I wasn't a fan of:
- Locking the map to just World's End for a week. It's part of the launch event, I understand, but I enjoy the other map much, much more, so this isn't a move I liked at all.
- The crafting system being locked into a daily/weekly rotation. I think it should be changed hourly, or even every single game, obviously it makes it more work for you guys but it's really boring to get stuck with the same items every single time. It'd make it much more interesting if you could craft a different weapon/attachments every game or every hour - every day is too long, and a week is like an eternity.
- Changing everything so drastically all at once - it's probably just because it's such a monumental change all at once, but I found it super jarring and unpleasant. It doesn't help that I generally only use R301's or R99's, which after this update are rarer and care-package-only, respectively, now.
Overall I've got mixed feelings. I love Rampart, but most of the actual gameplay changes aren't very enjoyable, I've found. It'll take some getting used to, though, I think. But, it could just be me being salty - I just started playing again a few days ago and I got around 80 kills in a few hours in Season 5 to less than 5 kills in a few hours on Season 6 because of the weapon/loot/map changes. Struggling with it a lot!
