I like the game, the gameplay and the characters are amazing, i like it that's why i post this on Reddit.. Beware English isn’t my first language.

Let's see what we are missing here compared to any recent (even very old looter) games like Diablo, Marvel Heroes, Path of exile, The last Epoch, Grim Dawn, Torchlight II and III etc the list is long and some of them are not from big companies like Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics.

I have thousands of hours across hack’n slash, MMO’s, beat them all, destiny 2 etc etc, and the social aspect is very important in these games, you can see why warframe is very healthy it has a strong social community. Things below are what make these games successful.

Name me one game of this type that is big without any social features..... anyway

Text chat from FF XIV online (Square Enix)

-No text chat (makes the game feel unhealty, and boring when your friends are offline) a multiplayer game in 2020 without chat hmm really bad, BUT a multiplayer looter game that WILL HAVE Raids, it CAN’t be serious,I don’t know what you were thinking.. Would be nice to be able to say hey man , let’s do chests? Wanna do another run? Gg great run and nice dps there, want to add me for raid later? Wanna join me on discord?

Let us talk to eachother please.

Item linking from POE

-No item linking (since we have no chat), nothing is cooler than link-chat to you friends the amazing cool loot you just got after a Raid for example.. it’s basic for looters games...

-Exotics locked to single player content and in a single location , when they should have a chance to be dropping anywhere in the game. It’s a LOOTER game, not MEGA hive Solo online..

One of the Social Hub from Marvel Heroes

-No social hub (just saying CD you would sell far more costumes and emotes if you make social Hubs....like 10 times more...) It seems to be one of the terrible decision you are making from a business point of view. Nothing makes me more want to buy costumes than seeing other players around me with cool looking costumes and emotes, in your game actually nothing makes us want to buy cosmetics. It(s also a very good social feature by itself.

FF XIV Online Matchmaking (Square Enix)

-No advanced matchmaking that would let us chose multiple missions to queue for (would GREATLY reduce the queue times if we could queue for let's say 5 missions of our choice instead of 1) the playerbase is low, you want your playerbase to be potentially splited between 80 war zones? Really..

-No ingame friend list wich is mandatory in looter games ( noone will be happy to have 100 or more new steam contacts soon just because there is no in-game friend list)

Also Let us invite our friends inside missions in progress (only if they are close to our power lvl of course), this way if someone crashed you can invite him back.

Player inspect from Grim Dawn

-Having an option to inspect other players would be very welcome, i'd like to inspect my friends and other players to check what gear and builds they are using. It's also would be very helpful for future Raids and harder content.

-Low quality Voice chat, you can barely hear anyone talking.. also push to talk should be set to ON by default, some ppl don't vene know their mic is turned on in-game.

-Its a looter game we shouldn't have to deal with cinematics every single time we are launching a mission. Also let us mute Jarvis.. pls lol

-Not enough randomization of ennemies and chests locations. Ennemies spawn always at the same locations, this is boring in my opinion.

-Chests chests chests boring chests.....Well there shouldn't even be so many chests and they are always at the same locations...let us fight powerful ennemies that have a chance to drop some good loot or exotic resources ...chests are ... boring... POWERFUL ennemies Killed are more rewarding than just having to open the 200th same door.

-Only 2 real bosses to fight, this is pretty low..

Example of Missions modifiers from Destiny 2

-Missions Modifiers are like always the same, they are NOT SCARY at all they don’t make you powerful or weak,i don't remember the last time i've said "hey what are the modifiers" nothing exciting here and nothing that makes a run different than the next one. I don’t know make some interesting and challenging missions modifiers aka destiny, or Marvel Heroes.

-No real loot to farm on specific locations or bosses.

Example of crafting table that let us rework stats/affixes/perks

-No crafting table to rework your gear, and ressources are what you want us to grind but they aren't exciting at all. We should have some powerful ennemies to kill that reward us some exotics ressources that we could use in a crafting table to tune/boost/rework our stats and perks.

If you have more things that i'm missing in this list add it....
