Spoiler
"The pros and cons mentioned here mostly contains the pts qouted by fellow members so if u want u can skip to suggestions which is new there are seperate suggestions for both specialist quests and rewards pt"
Here's my take on the update.
(Disclaimer : I haven't read all the cmnts posted in this thread so it might contains some pts that have been said before)
Pros
1. The graphics in this games were a visual treat before( that's why I started playing this game) and with the new update on UI it's become an absolute delight and visual treat to play this game.
I didn't know they could get any better but u people stepped it up.
The bigger dialogue box the perk listing I love it.
2. Guild system
Amazing feature. Finally something for players who likes to compete and rewards for playing more
Made some new friends in game by joining guilds.
Tried new weapons due to specialist quest.
3. The tanking has dropped near my infamy lvl ( below 1000) people are now playing for winning as u have made win condition on completion of every quest which is well thought on developers part.
Hands down that might be the best part of guild update.
CONS:
Unfortunately there are a lot of them
( Disclaimer : I will post suggestions after every negative pt hope it helps)
I play a shooter and do about 2.7k+ dmg in a match on an AVG now my damage has dropped to 1k on an AVG per match because I have to play a speeder/enforcer/ defender or use torp or carronade which are not my normal weapons.
This has lead to following pts.
a.Low quality matches.
b.lesser rewards from match as my contribution has dropped.
c. Significant drop in infamy.
d. Way to less fun during playing these matches
e. Countless hrs wasted just to complete one quest.
f. Hiring of guild mercinaries to help with quest or kicking of active loyal member just to incorporate other players who will complete these quest.
Suggestions
1.kill specialist quest
a.Make them categorically specialist
For example
Kill 25 people with canons which includes all canon.
Kill 25 peoplewith fire damaging weapons
Which includes flare gun naplam firebomb etc these can be done
b. Since this is a team based game make we can have quest based on contribution and combos.
For example:
Help teammate or urself complete x no of combos be it fire or frozen.
d. Kill x no of players using direct dmg or splash weapons removing specifying the weapons.
e. Since there are lot of maps in the game
U can club maps and make a pool and make quest stating do x amount of dmg/ heal in this map club.
2. Remove ship specific quest just make the quest for fleeting with someone inside and outside the guild( include this too because all the guild members are not online all the time due to difference in time zone) u can just increase the no of wins which is fine.
The rewards are way too "underwhelming" for the amount of hrs and pearl put in the game for quest completion
It takes 12 spins to get to the legendary raffle board and each spin costs 3500 raffles
So in total 12*3500= 42000 raffles.
And in order to get this many raffles u have to clear an easy and medium quest board with AVG contribution.
I got 45000 raffle pts for clearing easy and medium board with above avg contribution and it took me and my guildmates about 10-15 hrs (each)of gameplay to achieve that with help of boosters.
Now Let's take a look at the rewards
Let's take look at following raffle board
View attachment 5340
It includes uncommon parts and rare item pieces as a reward which I have to draw
The rarity changes when u draw a item once but reverts back once u have drawed a same slot again.
The draw
Their are 12 item slots up there so chances of u drawing same slot 2 times are limited to two or three times max in most cases.
For example I might get 9 of those prizes listed and 3 prizes which are upgradation of them.
So 9 Outta 12 of my prizes are uncommon be it perk cell or parts or a rare item.
Which I can buy from shop for 40 to 62k.
That too I might not use because prizes listed are based on rng so basically it leads to double rng first draw one then u might not use that item which uses those perk or combing parts to give item I don't use.
So basically I go through all the problem listed in " specialist section" i.e lower rewards less fun way too more hrs of gameplay to get item that I can buy from shop from gold won from winning 2 or 3 matches.
Suggestions
Kill the lottery rewards system make it chest based
Option a
U can make different chest containing different items
For example
Make chest containing items
A rare parts chest
A epic parts chest
A rare item pieces chest
A epic item pieces chest
A legendary item piece chest
Make the chest available for different raffle pts
Like rare chest parts contains 2000 parts for 20000 raffle pts
Option b
Make a chest available for 42000 raffle pts which include half the amount of goodies as the big premium chest with following goods
5 rare items
8 epic item pieces
One epic item and
33% chance of containing a legendary item piece Click to expand...
