i know you already doing hard work for this game. and who am i, dare to lecture you what to do. but i asure you im dedicated player and i know what other player want and you know too but seem you do nothing about that. so this a few point to remind you what shall you do to save this game :
1. make match making to get random map so even the player base is small didnt get seperate by choosing different mission which is make it more smaller resulting in very long matchmaking time. they can still choose mission on solo. this will help you maintain. your current small player base for not leaving this game.
2. Let free user customize their loadout. no one gonna play if you didnt give them somethin in return. to make successful game you first need player base this is IMPORTANT. if you dont wanna do that, remove this game from f2p section its only give us wrong impression and end up hurting player and screw your change to get them hooked. just sell this as buy to play game. your choice
3. after you get stable player base just say around 1000-2500 start to make ton of weapon and skin to craft of speed up to get. dont do exclusive cash buy item, do system like WARFRAME (if you dont know what is WARFRAME go play it and learn somethin from their f2p business model)
4. keep doing number 3 and start adding new feature also fixing general problem and this game will be as big as Warframe
i like this game artwork better then Warframe cuz i can see my character without helm (human face). and the gameplay more tactical thats somethin Warframe dont have.
so plis if you really love your game do somethin. or this game gonna die before it reach any.
for any player who agreed with me pliss post here and share your opinion or suggestion.
and keep promoting this game to help this game get notice.
