Basically on life support. I’m finding I spend more time browsing this forum than playing the game. The two big issues right now are content and balancing/bugs. All the speculatuve bs aside (lawsuits, anniversaries, etc) there’s next to no valuable communication… despite that being a purpose for the forum.
Sure the devs will chime in, give a response to some backlash, help out with bugs, but still no objective info ever comes out like:
Will we get a roadmap?
When is the next update?
What content are you planning to release?
Where is the rest of the game?
And of course a bevy of great suggestions that are largely shot down.
For example since launch players have all but flat out demanded a multi-pred v fireteam mode. Someone here designed a game mode through private matches using Clash (their failed attempt at a new mode) as a base to make a 2v6 mode.
Illfonic actually played it on a stream, admitted it was fun, but ultimately said there’s no way they’re gonna do it because some people might have a hard time. Now keep in mind the majority of the vocal playerbase has said we want all the way up to 3v12. So to say a 2v6 or even 2v8 might not go over well just kinda shows that the devs are largely making the game they want, and not what the people who payed for it want. Leaving a gap in both trust and satisfaction from the customer/playerbase.
Is it still fun? Yeah. It’s as fun as it was upon release because… its the same thing with a few new bells and whistles, but those additions kinda unbalanced the game because most of goodies were given to fireteam while Predators just get new classes that make 0 difference in gameplay. Oh I forgot, they also got a new perk that only activates when you’re running away, because thats 90% of what you’ll be doing as predator lol they aren’t exactly balancing this game correctly.
So, needless to say, the next update… whenever it drops, will make or break this game at this point. So Illfonic if you guys are reading, believe me, we all want it to be good because we’re having more fun in the forums at the moment.
