Hey all, I just figured I'd write up some suggestions after playing the game for a bit. I won't be touching on things like balance or anything, just some quality of life stuff that should definitely be in the game. For reference, I'm talking about the main 4v4 mode as that is obviously the "competitive" mode.
Add Chat!! I think this one is a pretty basic and necessary feature. How are you going to make a competitive team-based game, and not have voice chat, let alone text chat? Come on. This should be pretty basic. Pings are fine, but with a game that requires teamwork and coordination, you need more than just a ping option, especially if they want this to the game to be competitive.
Leaver/AFK Punishment Right now there is no penalty for people who afk, they just sit in the game and ruin it for everyone. I'm sure this will be added at some point, but please. It's so frustrating when your team is down, and you just have one or two guys give up and afk basically losing the game.
Pick hunters in game This isn't a huge deal really since there isn't a ranked mode, but the decision to pick your hero BEFORE being in-game and seeing what everyone else has picked is a bit of a strange one, but again, in a game that can hinge a lot on team fights and synergy, you definitely want a balanced team, and im not sure if there's any rhyme or reason right now as to team comps through matchmaking, but having a picking phase would probably be required in a ranked mode at the very least.
Let us equip items from the battle pass when we unlock them This one is pretty minor, but it would just be nice to not have to equip the same drop pod on every single hunter individually, as well as quickly equip skins/voice lines/etc. as they are unlocked.
Have an in-game scoreboard Another bit of a weird one, there's no in-game scoreboard. It would be nice to have quick access to kill count, deaths, healing, etc. while playing in-game, just seems a bit odd there isn't one.
Drop pod respawn is weird To be clear, when I say it's weird I don't mean it's a bad mechanic, I mean it feels weird you can't do things like say, look at the map, or see kills/teammates health/objective status/etc. when you're using the drop pod to respawn, it just feels weird and more like the game is just loading when the drop pod is going down, and it seems like it takes a little longer than it should (again the lack of information during this time period doesn't help this feeling)
honestly really enjoying the game so far, but just thought I'd throw some of the most glaring things that are immediately noticeable.
