Just skins. Skins, skins, skins. Alternate appearance items on the $tore for the "default" weapons we run 95% of the time we play EC on our non Veteran classes. A veritable gold mine not being tapped into.

I've said this before in a different thread, but if you want the playerbase to market the game for you, you need to provide us with something worth marketing, and promises ain't enough. Team too small to avoid bottlenecking? Do something about it. Bunch of old assets laying around being unused? Prioritize them.

I also made some points about how I do not feel the f2p experience is fun for those players, and the progression barricade is at the heart of it.

Last Twitch Nathan said they were transitioning the team to fully integrating the assets and getting those usable for the Eldar Campaign and beyond. They've been working on the vehicle balance and customization system. The team is small enough to only be able to tackle one project at a time.

@KatieFleming, I know y'all plan to Twitch next week, but is it possible to get a post or update this week with things like Ban numbers, New/Repeat log-ins, activity around the team, somebody who's been really doing great work on X project, etc? Something to give us to chatter about?

Tomorrow I take it, being as you'll be off Friday?

I don't know how feasible it is but I think that a map editor would go a long way to helping people feel like they can contribute, a painter option so you can colour and create your own units and chapters and something more EPIC - I always felt like the maps we have are plenty big enough but we should be standing shoulder to shoulder with our brothers in arms in EPIC 250x250 battles not 10 v 10. I think this would be great fun and the maps are big enough but then we have to queue to find enough people even for a 10 v 10. Still promoting though

THIS. @Oveur Being able to contribute maps could lead to so much new potential content and would allow the team to focus on the other big issues we've all been bellyaching about, as well as solving one of the biggest complaints; Being stuck with the same half-dozen maps for months upon months.

So first off i know broken record here.

state of the crusade, ALMOST dead... almost being the key word as this can be saved by the community and no one else currecntly. If you give us content that FOR EXAMPLE introduces a faction specific current weapon to another faction like the ORK missile launcher to the SM missile launcher, WE WOULD NOT CARE ABOUT IT BEING BUGGED OR LOOKING FUNNY. just do things like this and your going to see people come back because "o hey have you seen the SM using a rocket launcher????". at this stage if we the community don't put money in your dead in the water full stop brakes on, nothing can stop this except for new content.

ALTERNATIVELY : just tell us you guys need help there are going to be a couple of people in the community who have game making hobbies as a background,
we would be happy to help for free if we could.
Help us help you or we are going to just leave no matter how well the you advertise because your rep is going faster than anyone can save at the moment.

Im fucking sorry that things have gone bad for you behind the scenes i am,but you need to tell us so we can accept it and help or we just become like this and that's whats going to kill you forever. don't tell people "soon" you now have a bad rep because of this and advertisement is not going to save you unless people want to defend EC.

summary if you don't get transparent quick, we cant help and we wont if you keep going.

I agree @KatieFleming, just ask @NoahWard how kick ass my maps would be. You know it to be true.
