The Biggest FACTOR In The Longevity Of XDefiant

I didn't mention the netcode/servers, but I have been noticing experience varies a decent bit from match to match with hitreg... some matches it feels like it is not a problem and it feels better today than it did 2 days ago for me...

Keeping the game up to date on content and keeping it balanced is necessary to the lifespan imo. I personally think that keeping a large amount of the cosmetics behind a paywall is a bad idea though. I feel that having a weapon mastery system that doesn't start at lv50 would be a good way to fix that, or even just adding more skins to the battle pass for free.

I agree I think as many cod players on here they need some personalization bc cod players r usually solo and usually have main character syndrome (myself included) esp when it comes to being STUBBORN to refuse to change playstyle even if it is necessary to win... I think they definitely need to avoid things like incredibly overpowered factions in the future that get instantly unlocked from the battle pass, counter strike is prob the only one that is rly financially viable overwatch failed even cod league, they have to cater to casual players above everything else and then make a reasonable ranked mode but understand esports are usually not financially viable, if they had cooler art on the battle pass the studio would make more money and if they had more unlockable skins more ppl would main the game

​ @dartlinfps I think one of the easiest ways to capture the casual audience is to add a TDM or a FFA mode. Something that doesn't require me to sweat my balls off just to win. I also firmly stand by the feeling that keeping most skins behind a paywall and not having another free way to gain cosmetics based on playtime is an easy way to deter new players from feeling welcome or competitive in the game. I especially don't like staring at a basic M4 just because I didn't want to spend $12.99 on the battle pass.

@@masonbob2531I agree, we need some new skins for diff in game challenges like skins for x amount of kills or captures of objectives, wins, etc just to add some “personal” feeling to weapons and stuff I think from a casual perspective it adds familiarity and a sense of individualism
