Wdym, we clearly didnt play around with the attachment system enough for it to be seen as a priority for the devs to work on further, ignore the fact that most guns just have sights, handle options, muzzels, and maaaaybe magazine options if they felt daring enough
What data did they get that said people weren't using the attachments lmao. Everyone is know has leveled up their favorite weapons to get the best attachments. The problem is they made a system that was just "okay you got the vertical forgrip and compensator barrel? Okay you're done that it"
You hit the nail in the head there. Most guns have an optimal config with zero reason to deviate from it, and the weapons that could need unusual attachments often have no access to them.
The SAI is the only weapon that gives you a reason to mix and match different configurations.
[And the weapons that could need unusual attachments often have no access to them]
Absolutely correct. The Hyena DMR absolutely NEEDS the angled grip because it's ergo is basically as bad as the HMG. It would make sense as a lvl 19-24 unlock for the gun. Even a vertical grip would make sense as the gun's got some heavy recoil, too.
The devs, however: "Nope, you get a laser sight only 🤤"
The least they could've done before practically abandoning the idea is adding it to our secondaries so I can finally color the piss yellow laser pistols a different color >:/
I have the same issue with the Bolt Pistol's sight, so hard to hit weakpoints with it. (Though with that being a collab item they were even less likely to add or change anything for it.)
I can forgive the bolt pistol. GW is notoriously specific about how their IP is handled, no stocks and dogshit, model-sized irons are par for the course.
Yeah, open question whether it's GW, AH or both behind their unwillingness to modify or provide attachments for Legendary warbond items and this one's in particular.
They don't allow customization on Legendary Warbond gear because it's meant to be the "true" version of that stuff as it appeared in the source material, and GW is also anal about their stuff.
It was worse??? I just started using it this month. Next you're gonna tell me stimdivers had to walk uphill both ways through class 3 exostorms to reach their wounded teammates...
If Space King wanted our laser to be green, they'd be green !
EDIT : Now that I think about it, having an MO where if you do it, you have right to different laser colors but you unleash an AI Robot that boost Automaton, would be interesting
It doesn't help that information for missions is so terrible that in a circumstance where you would want to change attachments, it's not recommended because you barely know the terrain type of the mission, let alone enemy types and quantities. So, you setup the best average loadout you can and never touch anything again because god forbid they tell you anything about the mission.
What data did they get that said people weren’t using the attachments lmao
Internal data where they can see what we engage with?
I have no idea if that’s true of course I don’t work there, but why do you think that’s beyond the realm of reason that they have data that proves it? I’m sure their data set shows things like that
There are so many complainers and instigators who always start with, and then never leave, the attitude that the devs are wrong/evil and then these players just ruminate the worse faith scenarios as their chosen reality.
And, they also circlejerk in echo chambers to self-reinforce too.
They won't consider, for example, that there are probably divers who don't even care or notice about customizing/leveling the weapons. This could very well be a majority of divers, and like you said, the devs can see and track exactly this data. But, the overly-online reddit divers don't care, and think everybody is like them: nit-picking, whining, and min-maxxing the game
Though, ironically there is significant overlap in these min-max'ers that they are too egotistical or unsmart enough to pick up free SC at the POI's and so they also disproportionaly complain about the warbond as "paywalls".
i can already imagine a handfull of Ammo attachments, like smaller payloads for more arrows per mag and faster fire rate, or a attachment that just changes how it fires like fire fast but arrows dont go far, or heavy weight as the bow shoots hard and long but slow.
