Hello Cliffhanger Productions,
There are two things I would like to see added/changed in this game. First, I would love to see some sort of qualifying value for noise level. Silence weapons make less, but no where is this actually stated and the noise made with running/walking is shown with a circle but its often hard to figure out how stealthy you are actually being until its too late. If weapons could have a value for "noise level" as well as characters it might make it easier to decide what setups to go if you want to play sneaky. Second, I would love to see a slight rebalance of weapon types. If each weapon had a niche and was forced more rigorously into it, it would make secondary weapons more needed and give each weapon a more defining role.
Thank you!

Hi ,I love the game by the way, awesome game !! but an idea i had was expanding the upgrade system. Right now the way the system is we buy a weapon upgrade it then throw it away. It would be cool to have the option of continue upgrading the weapon. Even low level weapons could be upgraded enough to be used at higher levels.The first upgrade would stay the same by adding new parts like the scope etc., but the upgrades after that would increase the dmg. acc. and maybe the stats like interuption, critical hit bonuses.Also on machine guns, further upgrades would give the character more ap , just enough for a double bust shot.By lowering the ammo clip size per extra ap point would I think offset the movement and reloading, making it less likely to be overused and unballance the gameplay. thank you.

One thing this game needs is destructible cover.I hate the concept of people hiding from my heavy MG behind some crates. Destructible cover would add an extra layer of depth in figuring out where to put your mercs, and it would be a lot of fun IMO. Plus Jagged Alliance has had destructible environments...why not this one?

I see you made the Sticky i suggested hehe :) good work Cliffhanger
==================================================

My suggestion:

- The Ability to combine ammo stacks so you can turn a 20/200 and 173/200 into 1 193/200 pile for example.
- Permanent Hireable merc (In-game Unlocks)
- Permanent Hireable merc (DLC)
- Seperate options to turn off Audio and Music
- Sliders for Audio and Music
- Some kind of indicator which tells you how many badguys you still need to kill (when applicable)
- Some kind of indication to the direction of seen/spotted enemies (or something like a radar/minimap)
- Some kind of CO-OP

Hello my friends it is I ...again
lol kidd'n , I love this game and have so many idea's for exspansion.One idea i had was a open combatzone map.The objection is to control zones. Each side would have their own AI soilders in the sectors they control gaurding post and pretty much anywhere in general . So you would have AI troops to fight and also other players to fight.But Only players can capture the opposing sides flag for that sector making it now controlled by the captors side. How it would work would be each person and alliance would choose a faction,If a player joins a faction from the other side he then changes sides .Players would earn money per kill,giving even those who have compleated the campaine always something new to do. Maps would be kind of large but not high in detail, open green or dirt would be nice with many cover points,and a few tree's and shrubs.A bunker at each flagg point.Maybe a few buildings for players to hide in and shoot from the windows.Some AI 's troops will attack bunkers but will not be able to capture the sectors, maybe a total of say 50 troops all over the map for each side.AI's would still drop tinymedkits , tinny medkits will not heal that much but will restore a bit a hp enough for a player to continue ,but players that want more healing kits will have to buy from shop.also ammo would be a common drop.Once a person is killed they would return to their base or world map.MOVEMENT :... Each side will have 2 min. to make their move then it switches.Now that 2 min. is for their whole side making them pretty much one team.Players are only able to bring in 2 mercs per player, to prevent over crowdedness. yes this combatzone is ment to last forever if need be,but will end when all flags from one side are lost.Winning side is rewarded with 100.000.High rewards will give incentive to play as often as possible. players will also have the option to leave the zone at anytime. The tracking system for you guys to know who is who and what , would be, once a player joins a faction he/she is given a number and keeps that number until he/she leaves the faction that their in.

Please make it that the team starting is random... it is random now.. but it is always the team playing at the south / south east! Please make it really random! So we get more dynamics.

[Ryu_Sheng]

For me a seperate option for music, sfx and voice is essential. I'm usually watching netflix at the same time as i'm gaming. So would like to turn off the music without losing all the sound

[Sudilos]

I suggest you make it so I can log into the game or refund my purchase of the starter pack. ???

[Ryu_Sheng]

I bought the shadow starter pack, so i'd like to be able to buy the Ivan pack for a discounted price. Since i've already bought the SP campaign and all it includes, i'd basically be buying a character and cash injection of 150k. Would be nice to buy it for say £5-10

[TurnSpender]

Some of them were stated in the past, but anyways...

1. Hotkeys for readying weapons and looking.

2. New Warzone rules other than a grinding contest.
(i.e. Players are allowed to take the missions in limited times, and rankings are decided in quality of best results, such as scores/times/etc...)

3. Higher Warzone rewards. Currently, we have much easier way to get those epic equipments.

4. Implementing Match Mode for PvP.

5. More rewards for losing side of PvP, so not-so-confident players could also participate.

Some things i would like to see:

• add buttons for stand, crouch, ready weapon and look at direction next to the merc picture so you dont need to cycle through the orders
  
• add in a visual so you can see the min and max ranges for weapons on the map (maybe as cyrcles?) so it gets easier to move your mercs into positions to cover ways etc
  
• add in total statts so you can see how good your chances for crit, disrupt etc are with the current merc gear to get a better picture (as far as i see the statts patch doesnt count in the gear)
  
• change warzones, currently palyers can play it again and again and get the points added up so the palyer who played it most will win, it should be changesd so taht only the best run you made counts and warzone data should be resettet after the warzone gots closed so everytime the best players win, not the ones who played it most
  
• add in a surrender option for pvp so players who know they will loose can leave the game and still get rewards (would also be nice for laggy situations to finish the game without loosing rewards)

A black market auction house so we can trade items between players

oh gods no not that, havent we learnt anything from diablo 3??

[Sakriel]

Well i will write my suggestion in german cause its easier.

Ideen/Überlegungen zum Endgame-Content.
-Es sollte die Möglichkeit geben Mercs Permament einzustellen -> Überlegungen dazu-> Macht es so das jemand der die Reputation auf lvl 50 ereicht lvl 1-3 Mercs permament anheuern kann. Dadurch würden die Leute auch wieder gezwungen sein zu lvln, neu zu equippen. -> Das bringt mehr spielstunden ein und eventuell euch mehr Geld.
- Bitte erhöht die Ehrentitel von jetzt x/50 auf besser x/100 oder mehr. Die leute hätten dann wenn sie lvl 50 ereichen eine grössere motivation es zu lvln, spieln. Gleichzeitig solltet ihr pvp-equip einbinden das zumindest gleichwertig dem der Legendarys aus wave/hydra ist, so das Free-to-play Spieler gleiche chancen haben.

-Dann das Obligatorische;
- Bitte last uns Munitionspacken kombinieren so das man sie zusammen legen kann.
- Ein Feature ingame so das wir Munition/Medipacks/Ausrüstung ganz allgemein zwischen den characktern verteilen können ohne das wir uns im Auswahlbildschirm befinden müssen.
-Viele Spieler beklagten sich, dass es kein feature gibt den Sound seperat auszustellen von den Soundeffekten.

[Marxman |LMC|]

I have a suggestion for an additional piece of armor/gear that I think would benefit the game.


How about adding a slot to your mercs loadout for footwear? You could have different types of boots and sneakers and things that give bonuses to stability and movement. For instance, you could have something like Heavy Combat Boots that give a bonus % to hit when not moving and a negative penalty on running; or Tennis shoes that give you a % bonus to not being interrupted while running. Different footwear would have different pros and cons and different sound generation. Heavy boots would cause more noise and light footwear makes the user more silent. Just some thoughts
