Hello there, welcome everybody. Today I thought I’d make a thread to include all Quality of Life changes that people think would be a good addition to the game. There are many people that have good ideas on what the game can add that would make things easier/more enjoyable for them. These changes may include:
Cosmetic Updates
Visuals for skins
Voicelines for skins
Voicelines in general
Slots and slot options
Emotes you’d like to see
Skins you’d like to see
Sprays you’d like to see
Player icons you’d like to see
Features
More Workshop effects/animations/coding choices
Game-modes
Game-mode fixes
Guilds, how you think they could work, what they could include
Events
Ideas for game events, new or old
Suggestions for personal hero events
Suggestions for possible events in the future
Any Misc. Features
Maybe something they can add to the forums
I ask that people keep discussions civil, as this thread is not made to incite arguments among people. I would recommend those who have discussions related to lore refer to the Lore section on the forums.
Note that I have NOT included anything concerning the balance of characters OR the game itself. Please refer to other threads if you wish to discuss these things.
Personally, I’d love to have more slots for emotes/sprays/voicelines.
Ranked fixes. (Aka finally 222 & seperate sr for roles)
Scoreboard (instead of scrappy medals what you can only see yourself)
Saving files for replay system & way to share them
Better reporting system (cause false reporting is still a thing after 3 years) & way to watch those people whos been reported & see if they’re blatant (like the same system csgo ow is instead of this automated ban system)
Map select/vote system
More settings for people whos colorblind
More avoid slots
Map editor
Customized portraits
And another things what could be nice thing to have is more heroes (tanks/supports) & maps per year than just 3.
Faster bug fixes.
Just something different rather than the same ones 3rd year a row.
I’d like to be able to select which platform is my main one. I hate that because a friend gifted me a PC account that I tried out I’m now stuck with the few icons I managed earn, while having nearly all on PS4.
Skin shaders (like Injustice 2, or what the OWL skins should have been)
More events, like actual events (Winter Wonderland, Summer Games), or semi-events (Baptiste, Bastet)
More rare (blue) skins, failing the skin shaders.
Competitive arcade mode (total mayhem, no limits, etc)
Guilds (Talon, OW, Blackwatch)
Maskless Roadhog
Quickplay rewards (similar to competitive), where you win a certain amount of games and can earn weapon and/or hero skins, like gold hero skins (think like the gold specialist outfits from black ops 3).
Weapon skins, but in tiers (like hero skins) like single color for rare, dual color for legendary, and animated (or other special effects) for epic, gained in the same way as hero skins, but for individual heroes.
Community skins (like Everescent said, but how TF2 makes them)
Last, but potentially not least, more outerspace or special maps, like underground or volcano (maybe with more hazards as the match goes on?) I believe there’s a forum post about this.
(edited)
Higher drop rates for epics and legendries (not an asinine amount, but still an increase.
As a follow up on this, I think they should have a ranking system for them (MKX) where the faction with the most wins, or kills, or something, would get an amount of coins (quick play (as mentioned above), comp, or just coins) or loot boxes (epic or regular), based over a two month period or so. We could also give the lower ranking guilds some (1st gets epic lb and 2 regular, 2nd gets 2, 3rd gets one) or various amounts (500, 250, 100)
Full scoreboard at the end of the match, or able to check during Replay
Small caveat that I think medals should also only be shown at the end of the match, not updated in real time.
Arcade’s five slots being reworked into: Weekly rotation (with public schedule), Weekly community pick (option to vote after completing Arcade weekly boxes), Daily rotation (With public schedule), Permanent No Limits, Permanent Mystery Heroes.
During events, the event button (with all event game modes available) will replace Weekly rotation. Ditto for the competitive arcade modes.
Symmetra and Torbjorn getting golden turrets
Different bots in the training range. At least add the “training bot” as a possible bot option for Workshop and let us thinker with its stats and AI ourselves.
Tutorial per hero, with a small spray or icon reward for completing it. Let the tutorial teach the basics of the hero in a safe environment.
Option to let us see actual numbers on the F1 screen, if we wish. Things like damage per bullet, damage per second, cooldown values, range, decay, and all the crunch. Default on “off”, to keep the flavor for new players.
This could work, but what if we put event modes in it’s own menu (think Quick Play, Arcade, Competitive, Game Browser), so we could have all of our modes, plus events. When there’s no event you could put the competitive arcade modes in the menu, or an unavailable sign.
Specifically, I’m referring to the 5 game modes (2 weekly, 2 perma, and one daily) and the events. I agree with the fragmented playerbase part, so you’d only need the 5 and the event mode
Custom Strings or a dramatic increase in the selection of strings cause right now it is extremely annoying to get the code to say the phrase you want and so many natural words aren’t available (e.g. the word “bonus” isn’t allowed on its own) and the way its done right now creates a surprising amount of lack (for me at least) cause it needs to extend the code writing continuous “null” sections whenever I want to write a single word.
Also I’d love a way to play any ingame sound effect or voiceline present so if we have a gamemode with multiple rounds then we can get Athena say the countdown and have that tick sound play (though I honestly doubt we’ll ever get access to this).
For them to be organised because damn is it hard to find the one you want.
Some of the legendaries need to have custom effects/voicelines. The immediate ones that come to mind is Mercy’s Sugar Plum and Sombra’s Rime.
