Arrowhead explaining their vision would help diffuse tensions
I got to thinking about this again when considering whether or not to try the buffed SPEAR, and realising why I don't like it. Namely, I only want the SPEAR for its ability to instantly kill Dropships, but its aiming logic is awful so half the time it fails to connect, or it hits an engine, or a passenger.
Now I imagine that I know why Arrowhead buffed the Dropships: they want us to fight reinforcement waves, not simply delete them with a single recoilless. But I feel that instantly killing an inbound Dropship is often more fun, and sometimes even represents a higher level of skill expression than dealing with reinforcement waves "properly".
So, on the off chance Arrowhead see this, what I'd love to see is an in depth breakdown of where they feel changes are needed, and WHY they are needed. I want these things not as part of the patch notes that ruin my playstyle, but as a discussion post where the community's views can be offered in return.
So often it seems like Arrowhead are acting out of nothing but malice. If actual thoughts and honest opinions were given on subjects, especially when explanations are given as to how they reached that opinion, there might actually be hope for things to get better.
