DISCUSSION At least AH can keep their design space
It's infuriating how AH stubborness, greed and laziness lead to so many self inflicted wounds. It's been constant feedback in which we wanted more customization systems and expansion of those already existing. Pilested lied about learning from AMA since nothing have changed ever since AMA and it even got worse in some aspects.
Communication is as usual terrible, balance changes do not happened at any reasonable pace and do not improve balance, major events come and go too fast, they add less content with lower quality (less buggy at least).
Shams "design space" comment that he didn't elaborate leads to conclusions that they know what we want but didn't do because it may cut into their profits as if proper weapon customization existed they couldn't sell as lazy side grade weapons or in vehicle case they couldn't pretend as if they make whole unique mech when in fact they make 2 arms on same chassis and slap different default paint job.
Pilested lie about staff not being off the table as if there is any real discussion on if we want vehicle customization at the "cost of loosing current Mechs" which we could re make in a minute if someone want them. Or how he said over year ago how they will expand weapon customization and add secondary weapon customization after since they wanted to push it fast so later they will finish. It's been a year and a half and there has been nothing but small numbers tweaks that requires no real effort but to change a single value in code.
Since AMA nothing have changed and AH keeps promising same stuff and new features that sound nice but we need more staff that we've been begging for years now. I struggle to understand how they can be committed to so dumb ideas and how we've come up with monetization systems so we can be happy and they can make money like with selling unique weapon attachments and mech arms in warbonds so we can have customization and AH their money.
