5 Community Ideas For Developers’ Livestream

My Proposal:

Seeing how devs prefer to communicate via livestream, maybe this list (that will represent our collective concerns) could be discussed at some point...?  (🤞🙏)


Our Concerns/Topics:

1.  Rainbow Stars should be obtainable in-game and/or exchangeable for Bulbs and/or Coins.

2.  Team Swap should be removed (temporarily, at minimum).

3.  Solo Play should be available for all modes (same concept and implementation as GW2, including Private Play).

4.  Turf Takeover should be reverted to 12v12.  If not, spawn locations and a few settings should be tweaked.

5.  Ops Phase 3 ETA or update, please?  Followup: we’d prefer the option to pick our faction and map (just like GW2).

Alternate Topic Choices:

1.  New Character Additions - we think two characters should be added (one for each faction) rather than adding only one new for zombies.

2. Healers Need Love - we think healers/medics receive too little xp (including revives which many of us believe healers should revive quicker, as a base character, than others).

3.  Empty Health Bars - pleas

4.  Rux’s Stickerbook or whatever type of inventory BfN is going to use should be viewable already. FollowupReward-O-Tron - will it be refilled and ETA, if so

5.  Trello Board Status Updates - we would like an update regarding issues that’ve been idle for weeks/months, please?


How This Can Work:

Make a comment with your list of most important topics and/or vote for the existing topics' list placement (based on order of importance to you - this isn't a debate; no right or wrong)....

In a few days, we'll edit this list and hopefully it can land in the hands of devs?

All due respect, we understand devs might not be able to discuss all topics so a few alternates (that devs could speak on in place of items on our list) could be voted on, too?




Huge thanks to anyone who takes the time to participate in this thread.  If it flops/dies, at least I tried? 🤷🏼‍♂️😊

Note: I prefer @dwooten77 's idea to meet with devs via community committee but realize that's less feasible (logistically) than this less interactive attempt to communicate.


EDIT:  Several edits have been made only to add items to the list...

  • @ippig The machine does stand there in the middle of each base like a monument to poor planning and disregard to sustainability. It's a bit symbolic of how the game has been managed so far really.

    @asabaida I always thought 30k seemed high as well when I was getting all the emotes and things out but if this was all the material that was going to the machine they could have made each thing 300k to stretch it out I guess. Or made two machines and put the generally more desirable things in the larger machine to charge more and the less desirable things in the smaller machine at 30k. This simply wasn't a sustainable game mechanic for active players. I'm not particularly active and I cleared it more than a month ago. Without any disposable items in the game, refilling it is going to be a continuing issue of creating new content or giving out content people are working/paying for in other ways (prize maps, Rux) away for coins. Or color variants, I guess we could go down that road again.

    Oof.  Sometimes those truth bombs can hurt.
