Hey guys it's me (again),

You see I'm here (again) a brat asking the same questions more "veteran" players always bring you about.

First of all just a reminder, I do like this game and I still find what you guys created amazing and very rich. That said, it's been a while since this feeling turned just into nostalgia.

This game was a huge promise and the most addictive gameplay I ever felt in an action shooter, also the combat ... THE CQC was brilliant. BRILLANT. This game was the MOST FUN I ever had.

But where is it heading now?

I mean ... when are you guys going to talk about the quality of life changes for the game? When is the plot moving forward? When will you be reviewing the rewards system? When will thematic events impact the game, the lore, or the gameplay?

We are going towards 2022 and the game changed a lot but only on the surface, right? Isn't it time to approach these issues? Or even dealt with.

It is your game, I get it. I'm not trying to offend anyone but it does feel like a lost opportunity to head where the game is heading (at least how it looks like its heading),... as a consumer of the game I kind of feel offended that the only updates we have are in-game lore content (who has been here for ages) being shared on the web site. Like, not even new content or new lore. Nothing that would move the plot or the game forward.

I don't know what you guys have in your hands and I don't want to be unfair to you, but maybe some transparency as "Yes. We will not be continuing the game forward, this is the game and how it will be" would be a fitting position and a good way to end a relationship with players, like me, who still have so much expectation from this game.

Not to upset anyone but we got to talk about how RIOT has been doing shit. They started with a game, then they did world build and them THE WORLD become the product who became others games, books, animations, and TV series. Look at what you guys did when you launched this game. The world and the characters you created could be doing just the same, could have been GIGANTIC.

I really wish this game is still moving forward and aware of what makes it good, great, and bad so as to better polish itself and deliver more. You could have a massive player base by now.

Trust me guys, I'm a designer (this is supposed to be a meme) but please consider reading this.

Think about how to improve the missions and reward system so that replayability has more value.

Think how the CQC made this game so authentic even if it meant harder

Think how the game since it was launched as Riders of the broken planet game didn't move the plot forward and how strong of action this would mean for ANYONE who played or play the game

Think about new character and  not just new weapons, or be more consistent with new launches

Think about seriously improving the game interface out of the gameplay but the menus and such, especially the after game screen

Think about how thematic events could alter the gameplay while they are online like changing faction places, random encounters, especial enemies, environment changes, or even gameplay changes as if gravity gets lighter or something. Be creative about it, like special game modes but temporary and involved in some lore.

I don't know .... just ...wake up to the potential your game holds and what an amazing game the team created, initially cause now it doesn't seem like it is going anywhere.

Wish you well and have a nice 2022
Sincerely,
me

I've been trying to polish this idea for some time but the need to share is bigger.


So "Jarrah" concept revolves around the idea of tribal/hunt/athletic.  Jarrah is a young boy raised by animals, he enjoys the hunt and the challenge, as it is his weapon of choice is sort of a boomerang. Think of a Tarzan / Enkidu origin.


If "Jarrah" was a Local, he would be a tribal kid who learned to live and hunt in the jungle with the animals.

Now if "Jarrah" was a Wardog, he would be a tribal kid who lived his earlier years in the jungle, surviving with the animal, and was found out by RAK in one of his expeditions. The Wardogs would enjoy the feral spirit and survival instincts of the kid and take him, turning him into a genius instinctive soldier with an animal instinct for the hunt.


The gimmick is the closer the target, the faster the weapon comes and goes, so the faster "he shoots". While at medium range the weapon has a push effect to it (and other gimmicks from other weapon options).

Melo would be a character who selects his target and follows his weapon after launch, passing by any obstacle and getting his prey. He would make use of CQC (that's because I enjoy CQC a lot).

Skill: Adapted for the hunt, his eyes are well trained, and when activated "Jarrah" can see everything on the map and chose one or a few targets for its weapon to deliver a massive blow. When this ability is not active, pressing the button will order the boomerang to come back earlier (in case the target is out of reach or some other priority). Marking an enemy / antag / rider , throwing the weapon and repositioning, then coming back for the killing blow would be some o the possible plays.

Design and appearance:
"Jarrah" would have an athletic runner body, his's skin is close to red with a few paintings on his face and hands and dark eyes (or gray as the local armors, while his armor and hair are white-colored). He has one large braid in his hair that ends in a hair bun, while he's sides are buzzed. He has a shoulder pad over or the side he throws and catches the boomerang while the other and part of his backs are covered in fur. He wears a leash that gets all of his necks with some spikes and a cloth and tong on his waist adorned with feathers and an animal skull. He walks on foot as most wardogs tend to.

He is optimistic, some kind of inocent, competitive and lives for the hunt.


Other ideas revolve around a boomerang whose impact hitting its target would do a mini area explosion hitting the other targets around it or the ability to hit and heal allies, mixing its skill to lock on to them and sent the boomerang when they need urgent help.

He would look cool on a skin with Bison hat with horns or War bonnet.

I started thinking about a mogli/Tarzan character with a boomerang and CQC while reading Vagabond and seeing the lost and talented Musashi and ended with indigenous and tribal ideas. Wish I had done any kind of concept (with I did sketch a few but they are hard to understand and are just a mess of ink)

*btw if by ANY CHANCE this seens interesting PLEASE take my idea and make it playable. It would be a dream. Sorry if my idea sounds  ofensive to anyone.

So hear me about this. Could the game work with one deck per division? So when you make a card from the Hades division all the characters from Hades share it. Would it make it easier to manage cards and keep a note of what is being crafted? There would be micromanagement for the loadout of your character also.

And following this thought, could we have more flexible customization while in the character selection screen? Allowing us to change cards while waiting for the mission? Hear me out in this.

You find a mission. You see what you're team is picking and there is no talk about "building the team" if you're playing solo. You have your loadouts but find it would be better to change one card after seeing what your team has picked and then you do it. Loadouts would still be useful for skin, weapons , etc. And mostly for having a few default choices by your taste.

This could maybe show a lot of improvement for gameplay

Also, the players first lock the characters, they have a few minutes to change cards if they want, cards are locked and THEM they are informed if there is or isn't an antagonist in the game. Since I don't think knowing while changes cards would be fair.

Thoughts?
