You might remember the last times we did this. We thoroughly enjoyed it and the valuable and structured feedback you provided - a prioritized list - which we can process in many ways was great for us to align what is first and what is second. I was glad to see that our list contained the same issues and only a difference in view of some priorities being higher of lower.

It's time again for a review of the state today, so open the floodgates of love for the Eternal Crusade, and participate. As they say, don't forget to vote.

Note! We have two other focal lists happening, for the first time. Check them out as well.

The rules

In priority, there are no two things that are equally most important. It's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ... and that's how we work. And that's what we'd like help with here. It's actually three levels of prioritization, per person etc. but the global list determines each individual team members task priority.

Give me your top 10 lists of issues.

Solution with the issue is optional because chances are, we have it tracked already with a solution but prioritized differently, so other things are being addressed before we get to issue 4, 7 or 9.

You are more than welcome to link to your original thread as a solution to an issue. And thanks to @Timburwolfe pointing this out to me, having a summary and the extended rationale or explanation as a "Spoiler" function it totally fine as well, and fits with the exercise.

So this is your chance to affect that priority.

Top 10 items. 1 is most important. One sentence max per issue. One sentence for suggested fix.

You guys have direct access to us and we read it. Here is your chance to help me out in my roadmapping and prioritization, in a format that is actionable for me and in a place I can easily monitor.

Anything else posted than a top 10 list will be deleted, you're welcome to create another thread for what you want to say about other subjects.

Seriously. We're doing an exercise in finding the common signal among us and those trying to interfere with other customers giving their succinct and actionable feedback to us simply won't be tolerated. They have a voice, I want to hear it.

Go!

#1.) Flow: aka, long transitions between animations cause for a significant lack of control over characters as well as the crazy amount of stun and stunlock in the game massively compound the issue (see #5). (TL: DR) Too much loss of agency, not enough to begin with - I'm waiting for the game to catch up to me a lot of the time.

#2.) Garrison 2.0. : Persistent, frontier style sandbox over 2+ sq km stitching the gap between the instance based front lines and the larger territories. This is the grounds upon your hub and spoke is based and has a lot of expansion potential. Link to the theory here.

#3.) Better ways in game to organize the community and guilds. A hub would be a good start, guilds would also like more functionality like most MMORPGS have. See # 2

#4.) Urban Maps like the street fighting in Zedek, Intimate Maps, more Maps/modes in general. - See #2

#5.) Melee. Why can't it feel more like Relic's SM with the RPS system? - See #1.

#6.) Manual instead of automatic and sometimes infuriating/ineffective camera "bob": - See #1


#7.) Expand the campaign system. There was mention of history developing over Arkohna. See #2

#8.) Help guilds, factions, and communities, claim a stake in the world to promote GvG and RvR. See #2 and #9

#9.) More reasons to willingly spend RTC, especially the Eldar. See #2 and #8

#10.) PvPvE & PvPvPvPvE See #2

1. Raise the TTK. This is not BF. Stop this "ADADAD" and headshot madness.
2. New competitive RvR campaigns with player driven objectives. Maybe story driven.
2. More weapon mods and total melee revamp
3. Guild management UI and guild level progression with bonuses.
4. Factions bonuses, more subfactions.
5. In-game Events. Like drop Pods or Meteor Shower. PvE in game Events.
6. More cosmetics. Holy Emperor, male the color packs already. This is not difficult.
7. Balance the Eldar already please.
8. Guild ships and player bases.
9. More stable build and smooth gameplay.
10. Give me Back my Relic Phobos Pattern Bolter. I've placed a ticket about missing it a month ago.
