SUGGESTIONS - Gacha, Membership, Weapons Upgrade, Leveling and more

Hello, MicroVolts.

I lack skill to write introductions so let's get to the point right away.

Everything I'm going to write is only my opinion and ideas I want to share.

 

WEAPONS UPGRADE

╰ I don't understand people who want to bring 9 levels on weapons with upgrading stats and everything. I love idea of game not being Pay2Win. On other hand I know what I miss from old MicroVolts - a cool looking upgraded weapons. BUT is there need for stats to be upgraded? I don't thinks so.

SO WHAT DO I SUGGEST?

A upgrading system ONLY to weapon's visuals AFTER normal not Pay2Win upgrade who buff stats. OR maybe completely other option who is responsible for visual upgrade? It can cost a lot of battery since farming it is pointless after you upgrade your all weapons.

 

MP ISSUES + FAST LEVELING

Everyone felt the problem about hardship with earning MP. This is a problem deeply related to the fast leveling system. A bitter and unsatisfying feeling for player to having little despite rapid progress with leveling. Then the underwhelming of being at a high level is common since everybody already have that. When you're +100 level there's no reward afterwards either. Level icons after +100 level too are just... simple. So when there's no endgame and levels can go like that forever then... When you will be proud of you?

SO WHAT DO I SUGGEST?

MP should be earned after every match. Level rewards should be more satisfying. Infinite level road should be cut at least around 200-300 level. Leveling progress shouldn't be so fast. It would be nice to correct level badges. Remember old star badges after reaching +91 level to 99 level? They made you feel like you were among VIPs.

 

SHOP + GACHA

╰ There's nothing in the SHOP what is very sad. Items in there cost too much compared to their variety. I saw there's a Pandora's hair in wedding gacha who originaly was simple item in SHOP. If other simple items like this will be in next gachas then it's unprofitable. Why? Because it feels like a easy way for creators to make money on the richest players. But they are a small percentage of players. There is an event going on about share on social media your customised figure but there is no simpler way to customize it.

Let's change the subject: It's not that I don't like gacha. I play gacha games a lot so I can tell what is Microvolts lacking - a pity system. For people who is just simply unlucky and not wealthy this will be a nightmare in future gacha events. There's all kinds of players, including those who love to collect cosmetic items for thier favourite characters so it would be nice to think about this problem.

SO WHAT DO I SUGGEST?

• Expanding the content of the SHOP. Add pity system in MP and RT GACHA.

 

MEMBERSHIP + RT

I bought Membership myself to test it if I'm satisfied and if it's worth it. And it's not. Why? Membership costs $9.99 which is expensive compared to other such services in games. Usually it is $4.99. MicroVolts' Memberships doesn't give you anything worth $9.99.

It's offering 850 RT once, then 25 RT daily which is 750 RT. You can just buy yourself 1073 RT insted because other rewards are not something that compensate you for your investments. And I would like to remind you that it does not matter how much RT you get or buy, the current gacha system it's not worth it.

Unlimited battery - It's just OK but battery isn't useful after upgrading all set and getting battery is not hard. Even F2P players doesn't worry about battery.

Additional preset slots - Fine thing to have it but not something worth $9.99.

10% increase in daily and weekly mission rewards - Only 10%. Well I have already written about MP problem. Even 10% isn't something that can help you earning MP. Moreover it only limits itself to daily/weekly missions - no more level reward, no more main mission and theoretically no more if they add earning MP after matches. Not something that is worth even $4.99 Membership.

SO WHAT DO I SUGGEST?

• To think it over. What can you offer to players? Something that makes players want to support creators every month, over and over. Something that is worth it and not feels like jumping on most loyal players' wallet who are just very nostalgic about game - they can pay one, two times but when they realize they simply got nothing special they will probably stop. And $9.99 price is over the top. Unless you add so much that $9.99 per month will be justified.

 

REPORTING A PLAYER

Small suggestion to add reporting system in-game. It would be nice quality of life thing. Reporting system is a must have in all multiplayer games. 

 

Sorry for my english and feel free share your opinion.

I agree with everything in this post, I myself haven't purchased the membership, it doesn't seem worth it just yet. They have said previously that they are going to add more benefits to it, so hopefully they can either increase the current benefits, or add additional ones. A 30-50% boost on MP would be great, although honestly we should be getting MP per match like you said, and that MP you earn, along with missions/challenges/achievements should be boosted as well if possible.

I agree with pretty much everything you said, but I'd like to add this information here:

 

There is a way to report a player in-game, but it's awful the way it is: You have to enter replay mode and then report the player in there. Too many steps when all you want is report a player that is abusing the chat.

 

Regarding replay history, a suggestion to developers: please don't discard older replays after a certain amount of matches (I don't remember the limit right now), instead reset the history with each update like other games do.

Hello! Please keep in mind that the game launched some weeks ago and there will be updates based on how the game will evolve. I agree with you, but I believe the flaws that we see now will be resolved in time.

The game was released recently, let's hope they improve it. In any case, I miss the old store where there was a lot more variety of customization, also how MP was earned before.

Agreed with almost everything. I think it would be nice to have a weapon progression system that change stats, but NOT a pay to win system. Something like instead of having a, b, c kind of guns, make them different from each other, make a rt capsule gun be as good as a usual one bought in the store. But I do think that a lvl 9 gun should be better than a lvl 1 gun. Simply because it adds another layer of reward to the player after making it. Something interesting is to make items like the old super glue, to be bought in the store for MP (it can be a high price tho), so that beeing an old player can pay off. Also, a trading system like Warframe has, would be cool too.

Hello

 

Of course they read and observe us, that is precisely the objective of the forum, that the community gives its opinion publicly and they keep an eye on it.

 

Greetings

Valid points right here. Got kind of dissapointed when i disscovered there are no looks on upgrading ur weapons like the og microvolts, the grinding of you're weapons kinda disappears.
