With weeks to go until more DLC and seemingly no incentive to play to earn Verantium, coupled with no communication from Illfonic on whether new maps or game modes are coming I must say my interest is dwindling.
I’m a day-one player who has played the game virtually every day since release and am a big fan of the game and the franchise, but the steady stream of skins is not incentive enough to play as often.
Does anyone else feel the same? We’ve obviously got a thriving community here which is encouraging but personally I’m thinking of taking a break and watching from forum instead. Am I alone?
I got the game a week after launch and made it to lvl 150. Haven’t played in a few days because I’ve been playing Spiderman. I feel your pain for more substantial content though.
I don’t feel like this mostly because now I don’t play too often, when I have a break I just play some matches…atleast I used to, now I’m forced to take a REALLY long break.
i got 150 in about 3 days man its been about a week now and im already kinda bored lack of maps so many bugs the ability to NOT report bugs even if u have them on video its like gms dont even give a damn.
I reached 150 a week ago, and although I’m loving using the Elder, it seems stupid that the XP is capped.
I don’t care about the loot boxes anymore (I have one mythic trophy, and I can’t be bothered to sit through the box opening animations in the hope of getting another one).
The game desperately needs new maps and gameplay content. Yes, I’ll be happy when City Hunter, Wolf etc are released, but they’re not going to really stop people growing tired of playing the same 3 maps all the time.
Day one definitive/pre order player. 240 hours clocked roughly. I also wrote this rebalance post, and as such spent a lot of time playing both sides
I feel you man. I stopped playing right when elder dropped. I saw that 50 extra level grind, Popped my double xp, got about 2 games in, and it hit me.
I wasnt having fun. I hadnt been for probably a week. I was only playing at this point to finish my rework guide, and hopefully breathe some life into the game. So I quit, Let that double xp be wasted and havent played since. I barely come on the forums anymore. when I do its usually just to respond to some of the friends ive made here, or to bump my post so that it can get more views and hopefully eventually be considered by illfonic.
Needless to say, I walked away a long time ago now, its been about a month I believe. And nothing has changed really since then. This is what I expect will happen by the end of the year.
Most of the DLC will continue to be small characters and weapon drops. A proper rework will never happen. New larger maps, will be added in, As well as objectives that will take longer. Perhaps it will be a new “gamemode” or it wont be. but either way it wont be enough, Because the gameplay isnt designed to suit what the game needs to be to save itself. The playerbase is rising right now, but eventually everyone will either hit the point I do and quit of their own volition, be drawn away by better games, or stay and keep mindlessly playing, ignoring their inner conciense despite being burned out.
The game will die, And nothing any of us did on this forum, Will have made anything more than a few months difference for the games lifespan. because its truly up to the devs to really put the effort in.
Hopefully they prove me wrong. But Ive already walked away, so even if im right, I wont be losing sleep over it.
i think is getting boring because the queue is fk up…and u dont get any rewords after u get 150 for now.
same for me…i get in the game…i watch the queue…(8 min avarage) im like ok…no problem…
after 8 min “alt+f4”
is because i wanna play…but i dont have the patience to w8 again and again.
i can do that…but…il probably do something else insteed of w8 for 8 min to get in a game and get lucky to have 4 FT…cuz yesterday i got the queue up to 40 min(4 match ups with 1 player or nobody present)
that s one of the things that make me just not play for now until is fixed…
if i see the queue to 5 min…il play.
the lack of content…im fine with that…i mean i know they will add…but until then…the only thing i can do is just farming VT to get the mythical trophies or just testing out new build for the pred.
Re: wait times they should add in a mini game or play back the OWLF tapes. Watching a timer go by is hardly fun… reminds me of what we did with computer games in the 1980s.
No me too. I’ve played the beta. I pre ordered. And with only 3 jungle themed maps. Constant toxicity, 4-15 min pred cues and garbage team mates. It just gets repetitive after 2 hours now.
It’s fun when it works. Unfortunately it rarely works. Been trying to get a game for over 30 minutes now. Oh but enjoy your fucking vacation Illfonic 🙄
I’m FT main, the only reason I’m really still playing is that I enjoy playing with and chatting with a bunch of the other FT players.
I very much hope that the mid-July patch will increase the level cap like the mid-June one did, and I hope that there will be new maps, new gameplay, etc. I’d also really like to have more reason to spend veritanium as I have nearly everything unlocked and am sitting around with 498,620 veritanium as of right now.
The only way to fix queue issues is to get more FT players queuing up, and for that, they need to make fireteam gameplay more fun to play as a solo player with random team mates instead of only fun if you are playing as a pre-made team with people you enjoy playing with and talking to. Adding a game mode like, for example, a 2v10 game would also help as you’re also bringing 5 FT members for every pred instead of just 4, but ultimately the FT experience needs to be improved to make it a little more interesting. I think changing the “hold F” mission objectives need to be turned into small minigames that you have to pay attention to for one, along with a number of other things.
Of course they could just release the Xbox version and crossplay might open the floodgates.
Re: Verantium, I’ve also got 400,000 but keep getting duplicate shaders. It’s like they didn’t consider this game would have a player base after the first couple of months.
