Thank you so much. This goes to show that TWI is listening to us, and I must give them props for attacking this issue. So, here's to you TWI.
Now, let's find some more ways to improve RO2. I know theres a million threads out there, BUT a lot of posts are buried, overlooked, or not very well thought out.
So let's hear them, and let's try to give some solid rationale behind them in this thread!
I'll start:
Disable bots from ranked servers.
Bot farming is an epidemic, and I feel more people would be inclined to play peer to peer as opposed to leveling heros on bots, and so I think this is a thorn to the side of server populations. It's safe to say most bot players are doing so just for levels and perks, and they'd simply play people if bots were unranked, as they should be, since bots are such easy and predictable prey.
I say this, and I must confess, I bot farmed a time or two, so I am guilty too, but looking back, it was a total waste for a cute little upgrade, and that's time I should've spent in peoples servers bolstering the numbers.
Improve spawn positions,
...and back them up from initial objectives so fire teams actually spawn together and can work together and not be funneled into just running straight into an obj.
Even if you want to work together with mates, it's practically impossible from the get go, as the spawns are crowded hoards , and your fireteam has no bearing on where you end up, everyone is just running everywhere. I have several mates that are hardcore realism, teamwork oriented guys, and we can't enjoy teamwork for the lack of even being able to find one another from the spawn, and thereafter.
And 5 guys yelling Hanzel and Gretel on the mic aggravates the pubbies. You are thrown into combat so quick, and without any organization, you have to be as lucky as Lt. Spiers in Foy to find your guys. I like the ability in some servers to choose squads and fireteams, but few server shave that, and even if it is used, it's meaningless due to the above.
Which brings me to:
Improve the ability to follow command and follow leaders
Maybe it's just me, but the SL, and TL icons seem to be glitched out. Sometimes it shows my teamleader 3252 meters away (no exxageration!), but most of the time its near impossible to find your fireteam leader, nor your commander. The highlighted name and map reference only does so much. Perhaps what does exist here can be improved a little.
Thanks for your time,
A Rooster
