My 2 cents of what i think the game needs in order to keep and atract population:
- AB/FA/JQ/MQSC etc.. people likes to play this modes a lot. But at this moment in the game life, there is a lack of motivation to do so. Most of the people have their titles maxed and they are so so easy to get nowadays. Why not upgrading them to rank 15? and give people a long term motivation to keep playing aswell as having fun. Also this rank 15 could include an emote or an exclusive armor you can only buy once your r15.
- PvE. 1) They could add new weapons/armors in dungeons or other places for people to enjoy hunting them, and trading. But please not some "low skin" that needs no effort to get, like Balthazar weapons. Its just pointless... 2) also a few new titles would be great, but maybe this needs a new campaign.
- PvP. I could write a book about this one, but ill try to keep it short.
I already said there is a game mode, with beautiful EotN maps and unique mechanics of altars, surviving/killing. That would even create its own meta builds. Why not putting this mode as permanent (without the costumes and any build posible to play). That wouldnt require much game coding at all. The title could be the one that is already (Gamer) or a new one. 2) And also restricting all PvP outpost to less districts. This would make it easier to find people, and also for new players and returnees. 3) Also limiting restrictions to be able to play Ladder in GvG, its just imposible to play a "competitive match" because you need to have 10 different guilds playing everday or your not gonna face ever with another guild.
- General/QoL. 1) If posible create a global Looking for Group, maybe upgrading the one that is already there (P). To be able to see if there is any party forming for an Speed Clear, Cooperative, PvP or just some leveling (in any city)... You cant expect to have hundreds of people in every city to be able to play something... Not having something like this just kills the game everyday. PD: Embark its far away from working, and would need a lot of rework.
- Website. Adding some rankings would be nice, specially since there is no new titles. Who has more points in these titles? something for people to "fight" for.
- Shop. Adding bundles of every Collector/Preorder items in the shop, that would increase their incomes a lot with few effort ( another thing that is already done..). How many people are looking to buy these in Amazon/Ebay?
