I have taken a break from the game for the time being. I have put probably 90 hours into the game and enjoyed a fair amount of that time. The game does so much right and even the grind loop can be pretty fun. That being said I started to get the feeling that the leadership was focusing on content over bug fixes. We still have things like the spear not being able to lock on most of the time, fire damage and gas damage being broken for non hosts, rockets out of the mech blowing its arm up even after patches to stop it.
It bothered me to see new weapons and armor added when they haven't even fixed the core items. I don't play enough to make 1000 credits quickly so I would see brand new content for a new game that I can't access while a bunch of my existing toys are still broken. I know I still want to go back to it but for now I am going to wait till the devs can spend some time and fix the core elements a little more.
Gas and fire damage has just been fixed with the latest patch. The mech self damage I have never witnessed I think, but it doesn't seem to be much of an issue to me based on that.
The spear I grant you though, I really want to use it more but the good old quasar is just more reliably blasting big targets, and doesnt occupy the backpack slot as well.
What they really need to fix in my opinion is the frequency I am stuck in or under the ground from an explosion. No way out except grenade suicide
Which is the worst if you're running stun grenades! The grenade pistol isn't as reliable for killing yourself if you're stuck.
The fire and gas work just fine for non-hosts now... I've not tested the mech but it's supposedly fixed now. The spear is something they say they're working on and since they've been fixing things I don't see any reason to not believe that
