This game gave me the strength and the courage to become an art educator for the betterment of future artists. See you in the classrooms, artists of the future! Know that you have a hero in your midst!

Few Easter eggs and current events here and there, but there’s also something called Minidivers being mentioned in the outbreak image. Thoughts?

My brother y’all ;)

The purpose of these attachments would be to provide a non-cosmetic reason to get a weapon to max level, providing a significant adjustment or even a total re-kit of the weapon.

These new attachments would be added with 5 more weapon levels for every gun, with 3 attachments (at least 1 being a weapon exclusive) and 2 skins, silver and gold plating.

These attachments would be in their own category, and be mutually exclusive to each other (can’t stack these attachments). This concept also adds attachments for the Collaboration weapons, themed around their IP’s.

More concepts on the way! Next up is SMGs.

I think you SHOULD be encouraged to shoot the weak spot to kill the enemy quickly, but not at the cost of miniguns and sentries getting hard locked onto them. I would have liked to see the Fleshmob treatment for these guys: keep them the same as they are with the current patch (weaker fleshy bits) but make the armored parts Medium armor AND give them more HP. That way, it still requires overwhelming firepower to kill them effectively.

First of all, I made this when I was doubtful of Arrowhead and their ability to manage this game for so long. I now regret making this after the fact because it only exists to generate controversy, which is the last thing this game needs. What it needs is proper, polite communication from both parties, which since then, has been attempted. We can only go up from here regarding this game's growth.

Second of all, this chart is inaccurate, as it does NOT include the last 6 MONTHS of AMAZINGLY GOOD stuff that has happened for the game (size reduction, highly successful warbonds, Machinery of Oppression, Illuminate update, etc). We haven't seen this much success for the game since NOW with recent drama. This chart does NOT reflect that information, and serves only to farm negative interactions, something I am sad to say I expected from Clay's content.

As such, I believe this chart trend no longer feels necessary for the game's growth. I hate seeing us fight when we could be working alongside AH, despite their often closed-minded ideals, just like they have been with us, despite our tendencies to lash out and be hateful. We can only go up from here.

And to Claysthetics, I ask you, start looking for other ways to farm engagement that isn't so negative. It worked for GundamBoi and CommisaarKai, right?

EDIT: The issue has been resolved, lower the sodium and dive on!
