DLC=BS -should be free

[Lakkiada]

So, the patch (dlc) did address several issues that pre-existed in game (map is better, 0.0 det grenades no longer kill me, item mod labels, etc) . However, it created a whole new batch of problems as well.

It is almost impossible to get a pvp match now. The matchmaking needs to be overhauled completely. Thus far after the dlc, I've spent over 7.5 hours in que, getting only a (1) single match. Can't even get a quick match, before I have to log off.

The "sieges" are a total joke . They are just pve shadow war with the same set of volge mobs that stand around till they are dead. Oh, some of them jump, neat.

The Castithans are ugly as sin, all of them. Howcome they don't look like the aliens from the show, at all? You can tell how rushed this was, by how awful the hair-do's render for casti's.
and since it is only aesthetic, does this really even count as new content? The body models are large and non-uniform by the way.

The new "truck" is total trash.. it is so slow, even on lvl 20 skill, that it is better to take 2 Challengers. Plus its kinda redundant now that we have so many fast travel points.

"Don't you love it when they advertise a DLC at E3 and show a weapon and mention a turret on a vehicle and then completely scrap the ideas?" -Arsenic Touch

Imo, the charge weapons are ok, although I have yet to find a situation where I use one (or even have one in my inventory). Also imo, the blades are ridiculous too. YOU CAN'T WALK AND SWING A KNIFE AT THE SAME TIME LOLOLOL too much coordination for an arena champion I guess?!

The arena is a nice feature, although there is no reason why it shouldn't be multi-player. After completing the "missions" for it, I was already bored of the repetitive waves of same mobs and # of them, by myself.

Sure would be nice to have a stash OR mailbox.. either would be cool. Both would be a godsend (but are standard to ANY mmo).
Not to mention, we lost the ability to reload individual shotgun shells.. guess the dlc broke my thumbs..

Mod slots dropped from 80k salvage a piece to 400 or so? wow. wish I could refund those!

So all in all, I find the DLC is a terrible thing to make people pay for. Seeing all the problems that existed before the patch, I think it should be a free update. It really did only fix a couple things, with out adding any good content.

Please bump if you agree. If you disagree, why? What do you like about it? You think you got your $$'s worth? Why?

For me, it totally ruined the game. All I play is pvp, but now I cant even get a quick match.

So again, I find myself in the pvp que to no avail.. guess its time to go outside and be productive.. lol

How about chat?

Was chat fixed?
Do we have Instant Messaging?
Can we mail other players?
Has the chat interface improved at all?

hell I can't even get on been like this since yesterday, atleast some of the plp out there is playing. I'm not to say the least, look I've been patient long enough bout to pick up kids from school, so another day of peace shot to hell that I could have been playing the game. FOR REAL I GET BACK TO SEE WE STILL CAN'T GET ON WITH AN HALF-ASSED SOON, I WILL BE TAKING MY BUSINESS ELSEWHERE, LOVE THE CONCEPT OF THE GAME AND HAD LOADS OF FUN, BUT THE ISSUES HAVE MORE THAN OUTWEIGHED THE GOOD BY FAR. WEEEE WAAAANT TOOOOOO PLAAAAY THAT IS WHY WE BOUGHT IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. LOL DROPPED THE BALL, MORE LIKE THREW THE BALL OUT OF BOUNDS AND HAVE WALKED OFF THE COURT FOR GOOD!!!!!!!!!! THIS NEEDS ATTENTION NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW NOT HOURS LATER TO GET US ON TO PLAY. AND FOR ALL WHO CAN PLAY GOOD LUCK IN THE LOOT CACHES AND HAVE FUN. VERY PATIENT PERSON HERE, BUT SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO CUT YOUR LOSES AND MOVE ON. SERIOUSLY I WANNA PLAY, AS WELL AS THE OTHER HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS PLAYERS THAT ARE BEYOND FED UP.

If

DLC = BS -should be free

then

DLC +should be free = BS

lol

Anyway, yeah, the sieges feel "lack luster," but are still fun IMO. The Chat just sucks and needs to be a normal chat window. The arena is fun IMO. Most of the new weapons seem a bit trivial, with their "identity" being the sacrifice for actual usefulness, and the balancing was much needed.

This DLC seems like they are mainly filling in the gaps, as the first DLC it still seems raw and without much direction... maybe just because it took so long, had a lot of hype, and in reality isn't much content. But free? They will have to have a lot more desirable micro-transactions before they can offer DLCs that have no option to buy.

IMO, the real problem is their store. Better store = more money earned, and that is what they need to keep up stronger and stronger development, once their ideas start showing more direction and girth.

It is almost impossible to get a pvp match now. The matchmaking needs to be overhauled completely. Since the drop of dlc ive spent the entire time in que. Only getting to play in ONE (1) match. This morning after logging in, i spent 2.5 hours in que without a single match.

I have yet to see the majority of the so called "Best pvper's" in any matches that I do get into. Could it be that they aren't anything without their bugged overpowered syphon weapons or maybe waiting for their hack client to get update? Things that make you go hmmmmm. I tell you what, I havent seen any of that nonsense since the DLC.

The one match I was able to join last night, was Military Academy, which glitched the whole screen black on several occasions, any time I ran on the right side of the map. I did not see anyone doing the head-shot spree's, like we have been seeing in the freight yard. So maybe the dlc temporarily broke their MultiHack. If anyone is in doubt of pvp auto aim hacks, google search it.
