Re: This game is becoming exhausting
EXACTLY! So many of us have been calling the issues out but it took them almost 3 months to FINALLY start adressing the hitbox/balancing issues between legends and, while they said they would pump it up if needed, 10% of damage reduction is so small that if you take 5min to do some calculations with every single weapon's damage times 0.9 you will immediatly see that it does NOTHING in terms of balancing beside for the longbow and triple take as they shoot so slow so one more bullet to kill CAN make a difference but that's only against a 200hp gib or caustic. But for all other weapons, either it does not change the amount of shots required to kill or it increases by a single one. Anybody with a brain will understand that if your weapon has a rate of fire of say 500rpm or more, you will not even see the difference for one bullet more or less.
Now there are still many issues like on top of said hitbox/balance between legends :
- Hit Reg working when it wants,
- netcode rewarding laggers with a huge peeking and/or shooting advantage,
- weapons with a stupid power curve making it so about half of the weapons in the game aren't used past the first 2 minutes into a round because there's simply much better (ie: boring meta all about a handful of weapons),
- lack of matchmaking which makes ( 1) the game boring for sweaty tryhards once they are done "farming" or twitch streamers that play allday everyday on top of ( 2) frustrating the average joe and ( 3) completly turning away/off newcomer
- lack of new content because one weapon and one new legend in almost 3 months is far from enough content and, no, cosmetics do not count as "content" even if you have to grind ridiculously to get it.
- ridiculous MTX prices if you buy via the "featured" page: 23$ CAD to get a single F-ing skin because you need to get the 2150 pack for a 1800 costing skin ... are you KIDDING ME? I can get a really good restaurant meal with filet mignon and shrimps and ceasar salad for a similar price!
- how we are forced to either wait for a cosmetic to be on the "featured" page to be able to buy it or be forced to gamble with loot boxes (yes loot boxes IS gambling)
The game had a great launch but then it felt like it rested on it's laurels and barely anything was added or improved since.
