LISTEN UP DEVS
Just understand this is not an attack post but a post of my ideas for the game.
ULTRAMARINE COSMETICS: Although the Ultramarine Cosemtics pack had come out in season 1, we didn’t see many actual chapter-specific items to do with Ultramarines, especially when they are already in-game campaign-specific items that you could add into PVE and PVP cosmetics.
NEW HELMETS: I believe this is an obvious one that the community would like, and I believe this is probably already in the works, but new helmets without chapter-specific iconography would go a long way for people who might want to use their helmets for other chapters or even homebrew chapters but can’t due to it being chapter specific.
INCENTIVES: I’m aware the dev team would like to stay away from the live service model, as in recent years it has seemingly gone horribly wrong for a lot of games, but that is mainly due to greed by companies. I wouldn’t if there was a free battle pass or even paying for a battle pass as long as there wasn’t a time limit for fear of missing out. Would give a lot of regular and hardcore players a goal to play for. I get that you should play games for the enjoyment of them, but it would be nice to look forward to unlocking something in the game, especially after once you start getting good at the game you will probably already have enough req points for the next cosmetics pack. I wouldn’t even mind a few weekly quests or maybe a global system to earn in-game rewards as a community!
Another thing that would incentivise players is a ranked game mode. I know I could have put on here about adding more maps and game modes, but I believe this is something they will already be taking into effect. Ranked gives the player something to be competitive about, when you play regular PvP, players can just leave the game and there be no penalty because the rewards aren’t worth playing for. A ranking system I believe would encourage players not to leave but also keep PvP servers regular and more full, and encourage competition amongst each other in the community.
E-sports I’m actually not all that fond of esports and tournaments but I believe there is an interesting opportunity to be had with Space Marines, as you could have chapter v chapter of either the first founding, second founding or successor. Would be a very cool thing for the community to get interested in, and could help gain interest in other chapters that players might have not been as interested in or known about before.
TWITCH DROPS: Don’t get me wrong I don’t mind Twitch drops, but I would love it more if the reward I wanted to earn didn’t have to be through watching someone on Twitch and was instead through an event, where I could personally play the game myself and earn it without having to watch other people play the new update haha. I have seen that they did try an event with Titus Chainsword but maybe something like cosmetics from Bolt Gun would be cool as well, considering that Focus also worked on the game.
CLASSES (AND CHAMPION SKIN THEORY) Of course, they will be adding more classes into the game, I’ll list a few candidates as I think that they don’t just need to be characters added but a possibility of other units too.
CHAPLAIN - Tank Healer possibly?? LIBRARIAN - Psychic abilities and buffs + debuffs TECHMARINE - amour repairs + ammo APOTHECARY - Revives + stims TERMINATOR? - Tank INFERNUS MARINE - close support is better for PVE SCOUT - could spare 2 bots and run as a squad, especially for capture and control CENTURION - slow tanky and powerful OR ADDITIONAL WEAPONS TO CREATE OTHER UNITS.
Champion Skin Theory. So I’ve seen the recent outburst in the community when it comes to champion skins what classes get them, and how certain classes won’t be able to overlap. I believe this is due to the fact there will be additional classes that will receive these other champion skins, and who knows maybe in the future we will receive an overlap in certain chapters. But for those who are worrying just remember we are getting additional classes.
DEATHWATCH CHAPTER ICONOGRAPHY: I have absolutely no idea why we still don’t have chapter symbols for the opposite sides of Pauldron, but this addition means we don’t have to run anymore as a deathwatch black shield, black Templar, or Raven Guard haha. Just a small addition would probably mean quite a lot for players in terms of making their own space marines.
PACING SEASON UPDATES: So players are complaining about how slow updates are coming along, and this could be because of how unprepared the dev team were for the amount of support they would receive when the game came out. To garner interest and keep players consistent, for each season they could either release updates weekly or every other week so players have something to look forward to content-wise, instead of having these dry patches for what feels like months but more realistically is a month at most.
Anyways just want to say thank you for bringing this game to life, it has been a pleasure to play and I look forward to seeing whats next.
