I'll do my best to summaries Will add more if need be. Respawns Problematic and need a rework, had times where I was spawning 600m~ away from the safe area. Spawn us with 1 hazmat rather than forcing us to equip it and put it on cooldown immediately when spawning in a contaminated area. Groups Playing solo it's very unlikely you'll win against a semi-competent team with comms. Give premade teams some sort of "debuff" of sorts like increased cost on spawns. Would also like to be able to group with people of the opposing faction, I have friends who main the opposing and we just have to fight or get lucky and random group it. Powerful Spots Areas like the roof of the city hall need a rework or to be removed, they're cool, but with no grenades in RIOT it makes them incredibly strong. FBW Starting Weapon With how good the FBW is there is no real reason to pick up or even bring another weapon to RIOT, unless you bring a CQC weapon and a fang. But, during "final stage" spawning with anything other than an FBW would make winning impossible so i'm not actually sure how to solve this. UI It's intrusive and needs reworked or to be down-scaled at the very least. Need a better way to display what mods are on guns(be it the one you have or ones on the ground) having to aim at them or open a menu to check is tedious at times. Start With Less People/Start Timer Really only seems to be an issue on NA, maybe have a secondary system for districts with <15 people that starts a smaller, faster version of the game with a faster shrinking zone and force people into to teams no bigger than 2. The 2-3 minute timer seems excessive, 1 minute max should do. Rewards Make them account bound, having to grind this on multiple characters every x period wont be fun. Bugs: Gresty merchant Worksite has an item spawn inside a cement cylinder that isn't reachable, located near the center between the cabins. Central Golden Mall has a legendary weapon spawn being indicated as a regular weapon spawn on the east side on one of the small bridges/walkways. Outside The Praetorium there is a car partially in the ground. Notes: I don't mind the running, if you've played a BR before this is pretty common. You guys complaining about no rewards need to remember this is season 0, content will be added properly in future seasons. Level progression feels fine. Being able to purchase your own loadout weapons feels fine. There is some uncomfortable geometry that is frustrating to traverse as @Ketog mentioned in his post. The nameplates showing/ not showing is cool in my opinion and fits the game mode. Current spawn costs and escalating price feels fine. Would like more creepy ambiance, like some of the sounds from asylum. Let weapon roles progress in RIOT.

I think they should globalise JT among characters, as well as remove account bound and character bound on the JT store. Some of the prices there I feel do need streamlining.

See now I'm curious to know what the solution to getting rid of JMB's is gonna be. Simply selling them directly will likely piss off quite a few existing players. Poisoning the remaining pool that much more. So what the heck should be done in that situation to avoid further trouble from an already frustrated playerbase? I mean there are a couple of options. I just worry how effective any of them could truly be. Was there mention of the current plan, or..? Off the top of my head I'm wondering if the goal isn't something like what they did with the Norseman guns. Buy a special premium pack to get the fancy one. Can leave it character/account bound in that instance. Which sorta makes sense for a "fancier" version of a gun to be in a specialty pack in a cash shop tier of it's own, no? Then if they really wanna avoid irritating folks maybe tweak the skins or model a tiny, tiny bit. Making the old versions a rare collectors item. Eh, random thought. Problem there is that wholly removes them from the F2P folks. Which I'm not sure is the right move either. Even if obtaining one is a really boring process, it's still content effectively being removed from them. One less goal to strive for too. Hm.

as nice as the ursus crosshair is i doubt it's really giving you anything at all in combat and the nano has no special unique mechanic at all, which was the whole point of my post - probably half the current joker box weapons are only "unique" because g1 walled them off behind a joker box, not because they actually have a unique mechanic it would probably require some effort but my solution would be to straight up get rid of those joker boxes and push the weapons into the game as f2p lease unlocks, and probably add account bound purchases to armas as well current owners of the weapons would receive a free account bound version in their mailbox

the ursus is just a gun and its only "unique" because you can't get an ursus without buying joker boxes, this is the exact type of "unique" that doesn't qualify it to be a legendary imo previous buyers can suck dirt frankly, and i say that as someone who's bought all the legendaries through joker boxes - they're still getting an account bound weapon, and depending on how many joker boxes they bought it could have only cost them 99g1c whenever i log in there's 50 pages of symbols and like 10 pages of legendaries so i don't think it would render the mp useless, and if little orbit ever gets rid of joker boxes like they originally stated they would then it won't matter anyway

Different situation. Both the OSCAR and M-1922 were added to contacts to give players a taste of them, to then incentivize their purchase on ARMAS. The contacts gave 2-slot versions for 10 day lease for APB$, whereas ARMAS offers 3-slot versions that can be purchased as permanent account-bound. It's typical predatory and anti-consumer greed tactics. The new contacts will have the full Temptress and CAP40 as they exist from the RAF program. There's no reason for them to be added to ARMAS. Also, as Little Orbit has already proven, they have no interest in filling out the ARMAS library just as Gamersfirst/Reloaded didn't. There's plenty of guns that were already in ARMAS, that aren't back there still.

it doesn't matter , i should recive it anyway , plus that tinfoil hat code is account bound , while the one i have is not .

I haven't played in 4 months, but I've never had a problem with the ATAC, people who us the ATAC, or using the ATAC myself. I don't see anything really wrong with it. It kinda feels like a flashier STAR, but that's probably just me being weird. I bought an account bound R&D 3 version, but I almost never use it.

Make it account bound.

Items mentioned last week wasn't removed yet. Not really concerned, but curious why. (also hoping for something new in Armas, LO pls make old packs account bound) Edit: They are gone, nvm.

Eh, I suppose. I've had 4 R255's (2 Enf, 2 Crim), but I deleted one. It's really not that bad if you have only like, 2 characters. Was nice of LO to let us just purchase the event stuff, cause I didn't have time to play during the events. I might be full of crap, but I thought you could upgrade a purchase to account bound? I know the Clothes + Car type packs are character bound though...

You guys are great advertisers Pls LO make more account bounded clothing...

Fantastic update. But what about ARMAS? Any change? More account-bounded clothing? Pleeeeaase T_T

You guys must be really want to see those JT's in the market lmao. Btw account bounded clothing when?

That has always been such an incredibly weak excuse. They have the database of names, simply run a check for dupes and then contact those players via email and/or ingame. Ask them if they'd be willing to change their name, and if they are, compensate them for their trouble (pretty sure most would be down with being handed a legendary or account-bound ARMAS weapon of their choice as compensation). Hell, they'd probably find that most people they try to contact wouldn't even end up responding due to just not caring about the game anymore. Give them like a month to respond, and if they don't, can easily just change their names to a random string of letters/numbers.

Char bound. If there's something Account Bound, it's noted Red in description most likely. IMO better option is KTTC pack, it unlocks emotes and most useful one unlike KTTW.

Needs to be account bound like many other Armas things. Don't wanna buy it on my... many different alts

Account bound devil wings and Halloween wep skin please, because I don’t wanna grind 8 characters (planning 9th btw lol) And also titles, but maybe just put them in JT store instead?

It's a one slot csg for close to 25$ for an account bound version and 20$ for a character version. Why would anyone want to buy this, most people are just going to put IR3 on it anyways? Seriously 1 open slot for 20$ when you can buy a version of the CSG that has the mods people will put on that gun for half that price. If it were a 3 slot csg for 20$ then maybe to someone it would be worth it. But for 90% of your player base 1 open slot does not justify 20$

Make it a 3 slot for 2,999 G1C (account bound) and I'll actually buy it.

Might I suggest you also compensate every account on the console version with a free account bound unsilenced Oca-Nano as a sweetener? I'm not a console player but that idea doesn't sound so bad to me.

When was the last time when we had joker boxes as rewards from game events, was it due to past abuse that we don't have them anymore? So my suggestion is that LO should create separate boxes with account bound legendary prizes, also they should change these legendary weapon icons white.

Small list of things I'd like to see to make ARMAS a little more friendly to the consumer and easier to use. 1: Any sort of indication that you've already purchased an ARMAS item in some form somewhere on the store page. There's plenty of ways to do this, be it adding a checkmark over the item icon (With various colors supporting various states of purchase) or adding a border around the item that you've already bought. I don't know for sure if the game would allow you to re-purchase already purchased items and waste G1C, but it feels like it does and this should probably be changed. 2: Central hub that tracks purchases in the store. This feels like a no-brainer and I'm honestly "shocked" that this isn't already a thing. Not only would having a central "purchase history" enable the consumer to better trace their buying habits (and avoid buying the same thing twice.) but you could also use this central list to compare what you have in your inventory. When I buy JMB's I often get a flood of temporary weapons that I simply don't use at all and just delete. To this day I'm paranoid that I might've deleted a perma weapon and not realize it. Having a central list to check would be greatly appreciated. On top of that, you could free up support tickets by tying a system into the central list that allows for retrieval of accidentally deleted weapons. This could potentially be abused in some fashion, so you'd have to completely void legendary/tradeable weapons from joker boxes, but things that aren't tradeable should be fine to hook into such a system. The retrieval system would only apply to non-temporary weapons and items and items that couldn't be traded. 3: Quick-upgrade to account bound versions. Tying into the central hub of already bought items, the ability to upgrade character-bound items to account-bound items from there would also be greatly appreciated. This would enable people to keep track of what they bought per character and enable them to upgrade items they like into account bound items to use with all of their characters. (Example: I've maxed out my criminal main and want to make an enforcer character. I can upgrade my favorite criminal items that I bought character-bound because I didn't plan on making an enforcer.) 4: Refunds and trade-ins. The ability to refund weapons and items that we don't like outside of bugging support about it would be a really handy feature. Sometimes we buy things that we regret buying, and if memory serves support only offers you *one* refund. Total. You use that up, and you're done. This is pretty anti-consumer since not every weapon on ARMAS can be trialed. On top of this, sometimes you fall out of favor with a weapon due to some balance changes or just shifting out of that playstyle. The ability to trade in various weapons to contribute towards earning a new one or coupons for something else would be nice. 5: Account bound upgrade overrides character bound purchase. I was digging through ARMAS recently and I found that if you select the option to buy a weapon character bound, even if you have the weapon bought on another character, it overrides the account bound upgrade discount and would instead allow you to buy it at full character bound price. This is naturally not okay, and I'd like the account bound upgrade price to override the character bound purchase price in this scenario. 6: Pack weapons and special cases don't always count on other characters. For example, on one character I've bought the "Forces of Nature" pack, but it's not giving me the discount on the account bound upgrade. However, on Death & Taxes pack, it does give me a -74% discount which is obviously meant to be an account bound upgrade discount. In addition to this, there are a couple of weapons that I've received through support item exchanges (My 3 slot STAR being one of them) and I don't receive an account bound upgrade for those either, though this is a bit of a unique scenario. 7: A discount on buying a fraction exclusive pack when you buy the other half of the fraction pack. Say for example I buy the Criminal Heavy Duty Bundle, why can't I get a discount similar to the account bound upgrade to the Enforcer Heavy Duty Bundle? They're virtually the same items, just on different factions. I don't see why I couldn't get a discount. 8: Account bound clothing/gear. Some clothing/gear is character bound. Even if it's cheap it's still annoying to have it be unlocked on one character and not the other. It would be really nice to not have to go and buy it twice with no discount. That's all the ideas I've got for now. Please offer any ideas that you think will help ARMAS become a friendlier experience that could encourage people to spend money and keep the game alive, and if I really like them I'll edit the OP with the idea and your name. ---------------------------------------------------- Comment suggestions:

So I know people have gone over this idea time and time and again, also I did make a thread on this 2 or 3 months ago, and it seemed to get some good feedback but there hasn't been an official statement on it from the staff of LO. So account merging in a nutshell: - The ability to merge in game accounts - A program you don't have to do unless you want to it - Maybe done through support or some other way (idk lol) Benefits of account merging: - Accounts have so many unique items to where other accounts don't have those items (Ex. OBT Veteran Title, merge an account with that title with an account without one, the combined account has the OBT title) - This could protect people from their account(s) being accessed by someone else and being stolen since that used to a happen a lot and probably still does - Premium for all your characters on one master account - Buying account bound weapons, clothing packs, etc, would be so much more beneficial. Cons of account merging: - None (at least I hope so) The reason I'm all for this is because I have many accounts that I actively use and manage daily and it's a pain in the patootie playing favorites when only 1 of your accounts has premium, one has the OBT title, and one has the KTTW pack. If all my accounts were put into one, god I wouldn't have to worry about what account to manage or whatever. All I'm asking is for an official statement on this, considering I made a thread about this months ago, and other people have thrown around the idea countless times.

debundle everything, make buying all items from a pack individually cost more than the pack, make all purchases account bound armas fixed
