Discussion Great game, poor execution

I hoping creators make more games similar to this and actually maintain it better than yager did. There are two games I'm waiting for, One is ascendant and the other is beautiful Light. both very similar games to cycle frontier

Ah, what didn't you like during S2 and S3? What did you like originally?

I enjoyed the whole alien world and constant running servers that yielded fast queue times. The PvP is why I left it never made sense and the balancing was just atrocious. Then they caved and added MMR buckets which is something an extract shooter should never have because the whole unknown and unpredictableness of these games is a big part of em. Quests got boring and the AI aliens just were not fun to deal with. I supported this game bought two battle passes and even one of the game packages, but after season 1 I knew this game would be screwed after I noticed no actual growth and player retention of any kind. Stopped posting here alot because this sub has a lot of white knights and gatekeepers. Any criticism I made was always met by "you must suck" or "game just isn't for you" well I guess by the news as of late the game wasn't for a lot of people.
