I had been taking an extended break from Spacelords as there was nothing new and exciting for me to do other than play the game itself. Always been my fave part.  Now I come to check out what this big ol update was about and I find that it's just about money... Shocker. The dancing is... Stupid. Shae would never dance like that if at all. Nor would most of them. The characters no longer matter. They're just avatars now. Where's the story?? That's what I liked most. The characters and story. But instead of continuing that ya just decide to... I don't even know what you've done here. It's just bad. Bad bad bad. So thank you MS you've finally gone and done it. You gave me reason enough to delete this game from 2 Xboxes and never play, or more importantly to you, I'll never PAY again. So thanks for the year of good times but I'm not sticking around for this anymore. One last thing... Taking away the levels was dumb in the first place, now "Max" is infuriating. K, thanks, see ya, bye. F*#k:(

So here we are again. New patch, new and plentiful nerfs abound... Everyone wins!  Or do they?  First off I have to stop saying I love this game. 2nd, I can't get people to like it if I pay them too.  It's "too hard" for them or too frustrating. Now you've gone and changed things that no one needed changing again. HUD elements? The only change I wanna see is the option to move the HUD around or remove it altogether/change size. The new color of the health... Wow!! Finally you guys put yourselves on the map with that one! Neato gang! Changed my life completely... Sarcasm.

Why do you bother with useless time wasting stuff like that?? Also it's hideous. I'm not trying to be a jerk I'm just a tad upset that I've put more hours and dollars into this game than any other in my 32years of gaming and Everytime you add something you wreck or remove something I liked. Have some confidence in yourselves and stop taking pointless and stupid ideas from... Pointless and stupid people I guess.

The sound now while being damaged all sounds the same. Sounds awful and is NOT something I want to get used to. Like a wet punch over and over for every bullet that hits you, which is a much higher rate now than it was. Too much damage taken, or not enough given. Either way... Couldn't you just focus on things that are actually broken and need fixing instead of adding useless stuff we don't need and likely no one asked for or wanted?? This game would have more fans if ya did I bet.

Matchmaking works better though Xbox and PC still have issues with broken connections in general and almost unplayable with a PC host. Still blocking them all till (if ever!!) This gets fixed. Now see, that's a problem worthy of addressing right there but all I see from these forums is Ps4 n Steam are fine so who cares about Xbox. My problem isn't real I'm told by most people. But all those I play with have the same issues I do... Odd.

Aneska. I've been begging for her as playable since I first laid eyes on her. So glad she's finally here!!! That being said... What the heck? I am personally disappointed that she is like a cross between Valeria and Schneider. I was really hoping for a cross between Alicia and Ginebra, with dual wielding pistols but figured she'd be the opposite of what I expected. Wanted fast and hard hitting, got slow and weak. Haven't got her rare as of yet but the first 2 weapons thus far are... less than adequate to be polite. I hope at some point y'all release her plain old original skin without the eye wrap and neckerchief, and without special K dangling there sucking up her precious heart juice;)  "Pristine Aneska".

And another thing... The level fiascoe?? Another big fat WHY?!  You guys love fixing things that aren't broken  and ignoring things that are. You're right to say we worked hard for those levels. You're wrong to think that tier 1 is in the right spot. Shouldn't tier 1 be at 199? Max forge. Isn't that what we're all really trying to get to? If this is an attempt at bringing in more new players who will play for a month and hopefully drop a $20 on ya, that's sad. Everyone should be able to know how exp'd the players they're playing with are. Helps in character selection. If I have a lower level teammate maybe I'll try to compensate by using a power house character. But tier 1 is only lvl 100 and I don't consider that very high anymore. So... Just always use power houses at all times?? That sounds boring. This is so long, I gotta stop!! There's more to gripe about but I'll take a break and give you one too. Someday I'll post more about the stuff I like. As soon as I get a list of 10 things... That was a lil joke! There's a least 10 things. I think... Anyway.

I'm at a loss, MSE. There are so many other games I want to play right now and it feels like you're giving me all the reasons in the world to do so. Don't make me quit you baby! It's just so hard to say good buy... I mean good bye. Xoxo

I get why it's there. You find matches faster. It still does not make me want to play with anyone who says they are part of the "pc master race" or anyone on PC in general. Never had a good experience with them. Can't talk to them in any way that I'm aware of. (I'm on Xbox)
 I mostly just hate the attitudes a lot of them seem to have. Too needy and demanding. Chances are they are no better  or worse than the rest of us humans but they'll  never admit it. They aren't elite because they play PC, to me or anyone I know but they sure seem to act like it.

The matches still take forever to find anyway... So do I just block every PC player I come across until I stop coming across them or what?

I don't feel like you folks at MSE should ever take an option away. Unless somehow it screws everything up of course. Sorry to the nice and fun/life loving pc'ers out there. I don't mean you, just the "master race" assholes.

Has anyone else noticed the Antags are having a field day since the 11.0 update?? They barely have to even try anymore. The "dumber" (yet far more plentiful than before) NPC's are crushing everything while the Antags tapdance around getting win after win. I'm lvl 273 and getting stomped so easily in an Antag match has never been like it is now. You used to have to be good and strategic while Antagging but not the case anymore.  My group lists are always leaning more to the Antag side now as almost all the Vets are constantly Antagging. I say to this, WTF?! 

Even some of the maps without Antags are ridiculous now. Enemy Within for example.  The green meanies are far too plentiful with or without Antag. This is with MMR in the 40's and I always have at least one friend with me who's almost lvl 200.

Most people on here hate the Antag feature and I used to defend it even though I haven't Antagged since the Spacelords change. More NPC's that are supposedly dumbed down doesn't make a difference when there is more of them and they have shotguns that pinball you all over the maps. If it's going to continue like this then I'm leaning towards the Antag as an optional fight idea. It used to be one loss in 5-8 matches now it's more 2 wins in 5-8. Insanity!

New players won't stick around for long if this keeps up. I haven't had a lvl one finish a match since 11.0. And Vets who don't always want an Antag are starting to play other games. Like Forza Horizon 4:)  that's what I've been doing.

Can't spend money on your game if I'm not playing it MS!! Please balance this crazy bs out. Please, and thank you.

My little suggestion is to put the game back to how you just had it before the 23rd. Keep the f2p, keep the new name, keep the layout if ya want. No that much difference in it anyway... Mostly bring back the old bp setup. I didn't mind having to "battle for bloops" as I affectionately call it. Not as long as I know I can try and try again. Different BP's on different maps was a no brainer.

Why would you lower the forge to 20 instead of raising it to 30? Seems like fewer errors that way. Could have just left the max points at 15 that way we'd all have a chance to get some damage AND bonus on more weapons. I lost a lot of weapons with this glitch and really hope I get them back. I love the shit outta this game and have invested a lot of time and more dollars than I usually like to, but I may have to move on to something else if things are going this route.

I don't feel like the free skins are enough. Not after all the hassle especially. Maybe give Xbox users Valeria for free while you're at it. Or let us choose 1 free skin that already exists. I'm sure we won't get any compensation. Nature of the beast.

Really hope you devs can see how most of these new ideas were/are not working out so well. Maybe don't listen to every thing your community tells you... If that's the answer for all this being supremely fudged up. Haven't been able to play a real match since last Wednesday. Was able to play the new maps once each, alone with no rewards registered. Then nothing but a match ready screen that I'm sure would last forever if I had the time and patience to let it.

So, after all the complaining, my suggestion was and is... Reset back before the 23rd. Make things right ya buncha Barry Allens!!

Ps... I love the way R&R's blast cone looks now!! Tighter spread, no crazy yellow trails, and did the sound get slightly softer? I see the distance has been pulled back as well. It feels a lot better!! At least the few times I got to actually play... Free Mercury points maybe? Whenever Microsoft has a problem they just throw money at it. Lol... Great game!! When it works.
