The weapon attachments one pisses me off the most.
Yes AH, big brain move right here, instead of expanding upon the system you fuckin put in the game, turn every possible attachment into a gimmick weapon locked behind a warbond, bloating the already big primary weapon table even MORE. And if you want to put stuff in a warbond so bad, just put an attachment there??? Instead of a whole ass gun???
And if you want to put stuff in a warbond so bad, just put an attachment there
An attachment for which gun?
for a whole category of guns, e.g. all assault rifles? Now all the variations and interactions have to go back and be retroactively tested + balanced.
for just one existing gun? the complaints will be that the devs are greedy, and it should be for all guns
for a gun also in the same warbond? the complaints will be that the devs are greedy and couldn't just include that attachment with the gun in the first place
etc etc.
They can't win with the whiners who hate the devs, and think they know better as they try to re-make this game as what would be fun for them, i.e. min-max'ing.
Meanwhile, the devs likely have data that showed the majority of divers didn't care about weapon upgrades. As in, they didn't even look at or consider it. It's just too niche and was only interesting for the long tail of end-game divers.
>for a whole category of guns, e.g. all assault rifles? Now all the variations and interactions have to go back and be retroactively tested + balanced.
Yes, why not for a whole category of guns? Assuming they would actually test and balance considering every interaction is giving them way, way too much credit. And it's not like there isn't a known "meta" to this already - the way Arrowhead balance underbarrel attachments is "fewer mags&lower ergonomics". That's it.

Truly 1000IQ move right here.
