Feedback, Suggestions for quality of life improvements & general ideas.

First of all.

I've been playing this game from day 1. I've always been drawn to games which has some kind of building included, and being able to build literally dungeons filled with death traps for other players to raid was near the perfect game for me.

But..

After months of building one outpost after the other, the flaws really started to show. I legitimately experienced a burnout and my love for this game started to fade drastically and I just had to take a break. And I doubt that I am alone in this..

I do have a lot of ideas and suggestions though, which could change everything. For me at least...

1. The amount of raids your outposts receive are far from satisfying. I am aware that there's an enormous pool of outposts from players, and they all want to see their outposts being raided. I am honestly not sure how your system works regarding the visibility of players outposts, but I think that when a player first activate their outpost, it is visible until it has received a certain amount of raids or kills, and then pushed back in the line, to make space for the newly activated outposts. To reflect the amount of outposts and the size the pool, why not triple the amount of outposts to choose from in the raid menu? Instead of only one for each adviser, have 3 from each. This way, outposts that have received the amount of raids or kills, that would, as it is now, push them out of sight are instead pushed further down in the menu, but would still be visible for 2 "extra" rounds. Adding a "Shuffle button" could also be really nice. If none of the outposts that are presented to you, look interesting by the picture, just press the shuffle button to get a new set of outposts. Also.. Instead of having some outposts reward you with parts or some synthite, they all should reward you with synthite, since it's the resource we all need the most. I'm quite sure that most players tend to choose the outposts that reward synthite instead of the ones that reward parts. I know I am...

2. And now that I am on the subject of resources. BHVR.. PLEASE!!!... We need more synthite! My suggestions.. After leveling your Chimera 5 times, instead of the now 500 Cells, 250 Parts & 250 Synthite, change the amount of synthite to 500. With the daily challenges, instead of always having 2 rewarding cells and then maybe 2 rewarding parts or synthite, or 1 of each, change it to always having 2 rewarding synthite and let the cells take the place where synthite are now. Also, change amount rewarded to 250 regardless of the challenge and resource. Maybe add a higher tier of challenges that would reward 300. I'm sure that you can come up more difficult kinds of challenges. Otherwise, ask the community, as I know that there's plenty who have really great ideas. When raiding, the Ancient Tombs are great as they are now, but instead of having some traps or guards drop either parts or synthite, change it to guards only dropping synthite and traps only dropping parts. So if you end up needing parts after all, then you better destroy a lot of traps. It also makes a lot more sense having traps dropping only parts...

3. I know players have been asking for this for a long time. Having to enter your outposts to build, in order to prestige, activate or deactivate them, is extremely time consuming and very annoying. My suggestion is to add a 3. tab in the Command Center where you can Prestige your outposts and claim the resources dropped from raiders. It's great that you can see where raiders died when entering to build, but just let the dropped resources go straight to your wallet instead.

4. Another idea I had with this, since it's an always online game, why not develop an app for your mobile phone? Not where you can actually play the game, f... that, but an app where you can manage your outposts. Activate or deactivate them. Put them on overdrive or social. Prestige them if you meet the requirements, maybe even watch replays, while on the road. I am often on tour, out playing concerts, and I would absolutely LOVE being able to watch my replays from the back of the van and manage my outposts. We all have our unique builder names, which we can use for logging in, with our own unique passwords we use for our Steam, Playstation or XBox accounts. I think that could be a hit!

5. When you've completed a raid, you get to reward the builder with accolades. The accolades reward points you use for prestiges alongside with kills. But just now and then you stumble across an outpost that just blow your mind, and I feel accolades aren't enough in those cases. Why not add some kind of "Super Like" button? Receiving a Super Like, doesn't reward you with points or resources. A Super Like is "just" a personal nod to the builder for an outstanding job. The builder receiving a Super Like will be able to see who rewarded it, and thats it. It doesn't reward you with anything else than the recognition many builders deserve. The player giving a Super Like, will also add that particular outpost to a list of their favorite outposts, so they can return to the outposts, to play them again as Socials later on. Being able to commend players in the replay menu, who did a good job while raiding your maps, would also be really great.

6. Last, but definitely not least. I have been crying out loud about this from the very beginning. As it is now, we have 3 kinds of building blocks. The cube, the slope and the peak. And this is where I always have been wondering why we don't have something opposite the peak. With the peak you can build "outside corners" that are sloped. Pyramids for example, but we don't have a block to build sloped corners. An "inside corner".

I made this drawing to show you instead of trying to explain it. I am not perfect in my perspectives, but I am certain that you can see what I mean. It doesn't make sense to have the peak without its counterpart. Please consider adding this block to the game. It would add so many possibilities to our builds.

That's it for me. Best regards:
