A more comprehensive score screen is something that a lot of players really want, including myself.
I’ve always been so disappointed by how limited the statistics are that Blizzard has elected to display, and even more disappointed by many of their choices.
Just let the numbers nerds like me dive headfirst into the deep end; I wanna see allllll the stats.
I don’t play it anymore, and haven’t for many years now, but when WoW came out with its extensive statistic tracking, I found that fascinating. It was fun to see all those specific details about your characters, if you wanted to.
Likewise, it would be fun to see extensive, comprehensive details on your commander and your ally, as well as Amon, after each mission, if you wanted to. Admittedly, though, I have no idea how large of an undertaking such a system would be, or what kind of demands it might put on various systems. But I’m pretty sure if Blizz wanted to make the score screen more fun, and more informative, they surely could; even without showing every single statistic you could think of.
Again, though, I tend to think in terms of ”what if Blizz only works on one thing at a time? What do I really want?” And the answer to that is always the same: completely new content, whether it’s a new commander or new maps. So if I had to choose between commander reworks and various other system / quality of life changes, or just straight up brand new content, I’m voting for the new content every time.
Hopefully Blizzard isn’t quite as pigeonholed on their development capability as I cynically suspect, but it honestly wouldn’t surprise me if it were actually the case. Sucks to feel like I have to choose between all new content and improvements to existing content, especially when the gaming company is as successful and profitable as Blizzard is. I mean, yeah, they’re doing both with co-op, but the progress is slow; painfully slow, at times. I guess I just have higher hopes and expectations for Blizzard, knowing what they can do when their hands aren’t tied by Activision and profit-ravenous CEOs, slashing staff and grossly interfering with the overall quality and direction of their games and content.
Sorry guys, this post got dark lol. Consider it a product of my love-hate relationship with Blizz. As in, I used to love em… but now… ehhh…
