Remember the good old days where all you had to do was play and don't need to invest time into learning the new mechanics?

Likely to be the first league I skip purely because it looks like shit.
Can already see all the bugs that will be involved too.

I kinda figured when Chris said everyone in the office was hyped about this league that it would be bad for the actual players.. sad that is where we have come.

Also got banned from ZiggyD's twitch for saying "league looks like a massive failure"
Sad

I'm familiar with the system you're talking about; Star Trek Online and Secret World Legends have their own analogues to it. And there's no reason it can't exist here, too. Sure, we're introduced to a particular pool of NPCs in this promo video, but who says that's the entire roster? For example, let's say there's a 'sapper' class of crewmember who specializes in neutralizing traps. While all of them can neutralize all trap types, some might deal with certain types faster than others, so your choice for a given heist would be affected by what you know about its defenses.

So you've picked out who's going with you on the job; what happens to the rest of the crew? Well, that's where the system you describe comes in: you can send them on missions which take place in the background as you play. Among the benefits from said away missions would be that they gain experience as well (just how much an away job nets as opposed to a heist is a discussion I'll set aside).

posted like 6 hrs ago and this thread has only 13 pages?

hmm

People who mostly post in this kind of post are:

New Players - because this is new to them, they are the one getting most excited.

Haters - will pick something to complain about & exacerbate the issue to get traction & following.


Most veterans who have nothing to complain about will just digest the info & carry on. This is the downside of the "scheduled release". It became a habit & people who played this game for years are getting accustomed to that every quarter we got new "news" to play.

And for people who has genuine interest & question about the new league will not bother post here & instead post it on reddit becuase they have a higher chance of response from the dev.

negative feedback = haters.

-10/10

Which, I think, doesn't reflect well on GGG. It's bad form to go to the effort to set up official forums, then seem to neglect them in favor of Reddit/social media/et cetera. The latter should supplement the former, not replace it.
