Suggestions for Solo/Coop and maybe Portal (game/mastery progression)
Solo/Coop
I think progression in solo/coop should be like this,
- keep the current way to limiting xp with the "bucket" system
- increase the amount of xp you can fill per "bucket" as you go higher up in the difficulty i.e. 200xp per "bucket" on beginner and 500xp per "bucket" on hard.
- only allow mastery progression on the hardest difficulty. If dice thinks the hardest difficulty at the moment isn't suitable for the mastery progression, they can add a even harder difficulty than the current one
- adding AI to the player's squad
- an option where player can choose to play on the full map with 128 players/AI or half the map with 64 players/AI
- an option to turn off extreme weather events like in Portal cause it trashes your fps
These are some of my personal and community suggestions I've seen so far on the forum.
Portal
This might cause quite a bit of disagreement amongst the community but
- continue to only allow progression on official servers only
- if a player wants to have progression enable on their server, they need to pay and rent a server with progression enable. The server must also be up 24/7. This will also somewhat address the community wanting to rent their own server question. T&C for server renting that once caught farming, rental will be revoke and no refund will be given
Let's be honest, xp servers are going to be there no matter what you do on Portal. By only allowing progression enable on a paid server, it will lessen the amount of xp server being made. This might not fully solve the issue but at least Portal won't be plague with xp servers.
With the current performance issue, a lot of players are either just staying away from the game completely or plays on Solo/Coop and/or Portal. At least have a small team to start working on Solo/Coop and Portal part of the game and give those players that only wanna play on these mode some updates, weekly at least. We, the players that don't wanna play on AoW may be the least important thing to you developers now but we still bought the game to support the team, we don't deserved to be ignored and not get any attention. If you guys have any other suggestion to add on or better than mine, do post them in this thread and hopefully someone from DICE sees it.
