So first of all, I really love this Game and im not trying to make this Game Bad at all, but it has some MAJOR MAJOR problems, which got worse from Beta to Release.

I have more than 600hrs+ (even more Loading Bay doesnt Show Hours) and love this game obviously, ive Played Beta 2 and 3 to the fullest exstend. Paid about 120€+ Into this Game which im not Mad about, but about to get when those problems neither get removed nor Fixxed.

So now we come to the Problems this Game has,

1. Controller and how to get them:
Controller are the litteral Heart of the Endgame. Everything you play past lvl 45, is it Silos, Boss runs or opening those Primewar Chests (which is another Big Problem but ill come to that later) you need Controller for, but now the question how to optain them you may ask?

You have a couple of ways to get Controller, Seasonal Commissions in the Safezones, Quests (not all), 1 Time Chests in the World (not all), World Events like (Chiron), 2 Traders from the Safezones and Warband Shop (IF you are in a Warband).

But all these Controllers are either Weekly locked, or you are able to obtain them once. Except the World Events, but these only give 1 Controller each time and have a Respawn Timer.

So now we come to the Problem, as soon as you start to understand the game (especially new players) you are going to Start grind Silos and Bosses, because you need good Mods. These Mods are completely RNG, so a insanely good or even quiet good Mod can drop in 10 Silo runs or in 100. I have accumulated around 180 Controllers until Sunday where Season Phase 3 Opened for our Server. And im now on 60 Controllers left, and yet even tho i was pretty lucky this time, I have still room for improvement.

So the only really End Game content is so insanely gatekeeped, that now in 1 Weeks Time, when the Pro modes/Lea/Mansdevoran getting unlocked, I have around a day or two playtime and then im done with Once Human, cuz i have nothing left to do.

This stuff has to Change ASAP or this game wont hold onto Players for a long time, cuz ENDGAME is what we play a MMO for, not the first 30 or so Hours getting towards lvl 50.



Problem 2:

Now we come to the Second Problem, Prime Wars. Prime Wars in the Beta were accessable by everyone.

But now suddenly you need Cards to enter Hard Mode Prime Wars, how to obtain them? By getting the highes Rewards Chest in the other Prime War modes and even then by RNG. How to open those Chests?? AGAIN WITH CONTROLLERS who wouldve guessed, those Controllers adressed by the first Problem is to few to beginn with talking about Endgame Content.
Now you even need them to enter Hard Prime Wars and probably Nightmare Prime Wars aswell. This is a Major Flaw.

We are not in China, where its normal to put every content behind a Giant Pay or Time wall, and or trying to have the players play Thousands of Hours to play (which makes even less sense because this game has a Wipe cycle).


Problem 3:

Its a personal problem which a lot maybe disagree with, but its the Balancing problem. I have the feeling, Shrapnel is just Overtuned, literally 90% of players play either Shrapnel Valor, or Unstable Bomber weapons (Outerspace (Power Surge) is incoming aswell but i see less people with that atm). But you can even see that Shrapnel is getting Milked even in the Wish Maschine, A lot of people have the Valor on 3 Stars already, when I at the same time have the Outerspace at 1 Star with max missing 400xp to get it Upgraded.


Like I mentioned above, i love this game and by no means try to bash the game. But i dont see a bright Future if this is not getting Changed.
