Whenever you went to the terminal there were always 10 other players there doing calibrating their builds, buying stuff, getting missions. Now when we go to the BOO or a settlement, it just feels empty. You feel disconnected from other players. Bring back communal areas.
External link →I dont go I to the White House anymore all the stuff I need crafting, recall, bounties, vendors, etc is off to the right outside under a little platform.
Dont have to hear "HEY AGENT" every 5 seconds and I get to experience the weather while I'm recaling or waiting for matchmaking. I usually see about 3 people max tho.
That area is technically from how i built it the new Terminal. All the features you need post 30 should be there minus the DZ perks character. Its called Rally Point Omaha. <3
Why do you think we rarely see people there? The terminal always had many agents. Does it have a specialization area? If not, I am guessing people go inside to refill their special weapon and don’t bother going back outside. Anyway, there is something about it that makes few people use it.
I'll look into it.
I think you missed a trick with the raid/offsite mission helicopter you could of added a new location that required a small quest to unlock it on the 25th and that could of been the new endgame social hub like an airfield hanger with all the vendors and crafting stations inside it and the helicopter just outside this would of been like the new Terminal.
It's a cool idea. i think if we did that though then we would have to build everything that we already did at Rally Point Omaha and the White House.
I looked into why the hub can seem empty. I think it boils down to where people idle. Think about where you logout and where you log back in. Think about where you idle. That's where I think everyone currently is which isn't the RPO.
Wonder what would make people want to be there on the idle times. What would make you idle by the helicopter?
In TD1 I idled in the terminal for several reasons: High-Value Targets , Exotic's vendor, Mod Vendor, Cosmetic Vendor,Survival mode etc It had reasons for me to be there and access to stash and craft stations was there as well.
To create a social hub there needs to be a reason to be there in TD2 its tricky as most of the unique vendors TD1 had listed above are gone and there are no modes like Survival or TLS etc so maybe look at offering convenience if you want to use the area we already have near the helicopter I would suggest changing the layout to be more open and have access to all vendors and maybe re-arrange the space have the vendors in a horse shoe pattern with the crafting station in the centre and the helipad off to one side of the horse shoe I think having the crafting under the helipad kinda hides the fact its there.
Thanks for the reply. Ya as td1 continued on the terminal became more and more relevant. I'll make sure designers see ur message. I'm an artist so I just make sure it looks cool haha.
Thanks again agent!
