- Lower Cost of Cosmetics - Increase number of Cosmetic Items - Game needs a LOT of more customization - Add additional functionality (Such as Orbital Strikes, Deep Strikes, Webway Gates, Ect.) - Make the battles more meaningful, or interactive, such as summoning a powerful NPC or weapon - Make this more like an RPG, don't let us switch classes, let a player choose a class and stick with it - Make skill trees unique to classes, deep, longer, and more meaningful changes - Add another race or two, my vote is Imperial Guard and Tau or Necrons (This could be used as a"free expansion" to pull people back in) - Increase survivability of players, let us slug it out longer, stop letting us get roflstomped like guardsmen we are SPACE MARINES AND POWERFUL XENOS, let us be more tactical and team focused - Make the races significantly more different, examples being: Make Eldar individually overpowered but they have half the players on the map they currently do, and increasing their respawn time. - Make Orks stay under a WAAAGH permantly, and nerf them but let them have twice the numbers fielded, make Chaos and the LSM's tougher, make it very very hard to get them to un-entrench, ect. Make Orks get bonuses for being near each other, such as increased accuracy, Health regeneration, ect. - Add NPC's to slaughter such as Ork Boys (make the players Nobs), add Guardians, or aspect warriors and make players Exarches, ect. Give Space Marines Imperial Guard NPC's, or Chaos Demons to summon.
i will repeat it again TAU or IMPERIUM GUARD for F2P Faction Now for the real issues: -Balance @BaronXIII wrote it pretty damn well -Player Progression -Character customization -wide variaty of classess with UNIQUE perks, i mean more than "i can use a shield!!! i have a jump pack!!!" -More content for PvE -Expand the Universe , i mean Arkhona sure..... what else? i would love to be defending the Golden Throne against Chaos in Holy Terra. Somehow maybe many of this things are locked because GW doesnt want to..
You forgot cheaper cosmetics. Anyone with half a brain won't pay up 7.50 for a helmet or 10 bucks for a weapon skin, especially these quality skins. Plus the ridiculous pay 5 dollars for 4 RTC, etc.
They aren't skins, I could mod a skinned weapon. There is a reason I haven't bought any weapon besides my red plasma cannon even though I would have bought a widowmaker, I can't give up heavy barrel and drum mag to look cool.
I doubt IG would be able to do do something against dudes like CSM or Eldar Aspect Warriors tbh, they'll just get steamrolled and roflstomped until the f2p'ers leave the game or pay for it (which wouldn't be many of them).
Wait. They did a SubMarine Launch for a Reason. A big playerbase is a double edged blade, it can snowball as well as kill your game.
I don't think that free weekends would be a remotely good idea. At least until it's received enough updayes, patches and expansions for them to go "see how far we've come." But getting there is the key.
Kasakrin and Stormtroopers as base classes for capping, Tech Priests for a base melee class, battle medics for healing and make Cattachans with shottys/ nade launchers and stealth when not moving like a shitter scorpion , with Ogryn for Termies, have double the tanks available and the strongest tank the Leman Russ, in addition they get cover bonuses and faster respawn times perhaps make the las guns mark targets making them do more damage like the mechanic they want for the grav gun but toned down, I can see guard work just not base guardmen unless you wanna add NPC's like titan fall as a race mechanic. They would focus heavily on teamplay and vehicle control and excel on defence, zerg rushes are a strategy and the deaths mean nothing against the men with the flashlights
Fix a majority of the mechanical bugs, optimize graphics, add more cosmetics. THEN some kind of free weekend or sale. But not before you make the game desirable to play/pay for. Also, make managing groups/guilds easier. Nothing crunches people harder than when they want to play with their friends and it's a pain in the ass to do.
