I read through all the comments, and I agree with all of them. I've been with Mercy Steam since day one, even before the game came out when I was watching the trailers and all that. I sincerely was excited watching all of it as it had some amazing cinematics and look genuinely entertaining. I thought it would honestly be a triple A game.
But then the game came out. I enjoyed playing the game for a couple months, in the beta and when it was full released. I was first sadden by the lack of Private matches so me and my friend could just play games on our own, see what it was like and explore before going into any real online games to get the real rewards, but we couldn't. We were forced to sit there for hours on ends in match making, getting lucky when we found a match but then raging when one single person didnt accept it.
Then the times of the nerfs and a lot of issues being continuously added, left and right with everything new update. I honestly was a little turned away, my friend definitely was and I had to convince him to play with me even though the annoyingly long waiting times. I really didn't like that, and I still don't do this day.
Each new campaign taking longer and longer to get out, along with the new characters, being locked behind LARGE amounts of gold to buy. Then now the level system. I liked it and not liked it, one big reason being how much grind it required to level up and then how much it costed to get a booster. So having to split the gold between the booster, characters, and gun blueprints, we struggled to be able to build or get ANYTHING.
Yeah, we aren't hardcore players, and yeah we could've played a little more, but Mercy Steam makes it so hard to give us incentive to really play. I love the game still though, even to this day. Even with the missions now being locked behind levels, the ridiculous character prices, only compensating veteran players with "skins", also being a Xbox player I can't even play the game unless its in Training Mode which even then I can't enjoy the new missions because they are locked behind the Star system now which you are forced to PLAY ONLINE.
I really want to give Mercy Steam another chance, but they have been given so many. Why is it so freaking hard to add a Private Matching system? Why do the characters have to cost SO RIDICULOUSLY MUCH? Even adding in character deluxe packs to buy when the skins ALONE cost a ton themselves of our real life money.
Mercy Steam, I love you, and like I said, I've read ALL of the comments previously, but even someone like me, who has a crap ton of patience I starting to lose it. I'm not gonna uninstall the game, I will wait till Monday to play, but it seems that the real important suggestions aren't really being seen. A lot of the lesser ones are the only ones being worked on. I hope to see a real change in the future. Until then, keep fighting on Spacelords.
