[2019] Massive, Please reconsider those bonuses for Specialist. We should be able to do what you said "Build your Character". These bonuses are actually limiting players.

Is a long one.

Everything else looks really promising. Weapons, gears, brand set, mods, weapon mods(maybe). But the Specialist no so much. More specifically, the Specialist bonuses.

I understand why you guys did it this way, but this way is actually limiting the player to build around the specialist.

Im sh*t at explaning, so heres an example.

I will be using the Sharpshooter Specialist becuase I like the .50cal. However, I HAVE to use marksman rifle, becuse of that extra bonus damage. You may say I can still use AR or SMG on sharpshooter, but then if I will be using AR, why dont I use Survivalist, which gives me AR damage bonus? Then you basically forced me to use crossbow. Is that what "Build your Character" is???

These new Specialists can actually be your selling point for more "Customizations".

So after you have your perfect build, Weapons and Gears. These Specialists should be the one that ENHANCE your build. Again sh*t at explaining.

I got my TAR, and SR1. Got my brandset build. Then what specialists should I go for??? Instead of forcing people to choose for the bonus. Why not lets us choose it freely?

After I complete my build. I pick a Specialist WEAPON. is the WEAPON, so bow, glauncher, 50cal. So I picked 50cal. THEN, I got to choose bonuses I want (keep reading). Lets say you can pick 8 bonuses.

First one being. Pick 1 out of these 3. +10% Headshot damage, +15% Crit Damage, +25% Crit Chance. (Just an EXAMPLE.) Then I pick HS damage. Then pick the 2nd bonus, so maybe +10% armor while in cover. 3rd bonus, increase explosion radius, so on.

This way people will get to choose whatever they want. They want Crit Damage, go for it. They want +5% armor when reloading, go for it. So it opens up a lot of possibilities. Unlike the current system. You pick that specialist, thats it. Done.

You may think ah but it will be people using those META bonus. Then everyone will only pick that one. Lets be honest, do you think there will be no Specialist be META? You think there will be no Brand Sets be META? You think that there will be no weapons be META? No matter how balance it is, there will always be something that is better. So instead of bothering META or not, why not let players enhance their build?

Anyway, I hope Massive read this, not follow what I said, just reconsider it, how you want these bonuses to work. Becuase this could actually be an extra customization for us players, and wont limit us to use certain Specialist.

Thanks for reading.
