(2019) Recommendations

Original Post

I have a ton of recommendations for the next season and for the game as a wholeπŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…...as of now the game is going amazing but a few changes could really make it more fun

1) Can we get a grade system for each hunt where after the hunt it states who did the most damage or took the least damage, saved her most people and so on

2) Can we get a free landing emote where the slayer does the weapon preview emote (the emote thing he does when you go to the load out)

3) Also the usual bug fixes where the slayers gun disappears when previewing a gun transmog

4) A way to pre-check the drop items of a behemoth before going into the hunt...Edit: I mean before even starting to search for a hunt

5) Another cool landing emote idea that I have where the slayer uses their banner as an anchor while dropping onto the island

6) More transmog stones and repeater parts!!!!

7) And the most important one...can we please get a status effect per element...for example fire damage burns behemoths and frost freezes them...but for other elements like terra and umbral it would be so much more fun if it did something like poison damage

8) A weekly event where a team of 20 has to slay a huge buffed up behemoth which drops major upgrade items

  1. We had medals before. They were removed because they didn't provide actually meaningful feedback. They're working on more meaningful feedback already, as per the roadmap.
  2. Probably not - although it'd be neat to get landing emotes similar to them, perhaps for reaching 20 in that weapon.
  3. Known bug, fix coming.
  4. It's in the game, loot menu in the airship, top right.
  5. /shrug
  6. Transmog stone change has been rumored to be coming for awhile. Prevailing theory is that they're gonna be perma-unlocks per stone soon, which is why it went from 5 stones per hunt pass stone reward to 1 stone. More repeater parts will eventually make their way in as repeater gets new specials.
  7. Terra has a status effect. Umbral/Radiant don't have effects as they haven't been able to pin one down for them, not for a lack of trying from what I understand.
  8. There will be zero raid-like fights. They aren't fun, they are difficult to design, and once the novelty wears off on them they are just gimmicks that people do out of an obligation for the gear, not because it's an enjoyable fight.

I love this reply, thank you Meirnon!!

To add a bit more colour on #6, transmog stone changes are coming very soon, either in 0.9.3 or 0.10.0 (we are talking about it internally now).
