Hello,
I just wanted to make a thread to perhaps catch TW's attention about the mod support and other tools like map editor and such. I wanted to start this thread seperately to measure and manifest the public opinion on this matter to the devs.
With the current state of the game, multiplayer especially, we only have some decent matchmaking systems for 3 modes and 3-4 tdm servers (for eu) running with the same map for a VERY long time now dating even before the EA release. The skirmish also has a map rotation of 3 maps(if I am not mistaken?) -anyhow, there is no need to get into further detail, you get the point.
The release obviously was a success and due to this virus business :c it was obviously even more succesfull than it ever could. We have a lot of completely new players joining this community, and consequently a lot of people wanting to have a quality multiplayer experience.
First and foremost, Right now, the game has the attention of a LOT of players, and the multiplayer experience is arguably getting dull after trying out the limited set of modes and maps. This is obviously normal and TW is not to blame, the game is in EA, however releasing even very limited tools even in some "alpha" version would greatly help, because the main thing is the more you wait to introduce proper modding into the game, the more players you are likely to lose. A lot of these new players are obviously trying this game out, and the current state of MP is a good attempt, a very decent one yes, but has around 2-3 months of lifetime. The sooner you introduce modding and the sooner you show what this game is capable of TO the new playerbase, you can get them engaged with the game in a whole different level.
Secondly, the sooner you release these tools, the sooner much larger and ambitious mods (I'm not only talking about new maps and reskins etc at this point) will not only come out. So to put it basically I am simply trying to say that apart from bugfixes and much "larger" issues with the game, these tools should be introduced asap in order not not lose the interest of the new playerbase. Of course you can gather interest later on with maybe big updates and advertisements, but these very specific circumstances effecting the playercount due to recent release combined with the fact that lots of us are in isolation due to virus creates a great opportunity. I know a number of these players will inevitably fade away in time, but I simply proposing a strategy to retain as many as possible.
Please vote and feel free to share your thoughts on the matter. Perhaps you think I am wrong but I just wanted to share this on behalf of myself and a number of my friends playing this game. Also to show that there is a significant (or maybe not, I dont know) demand for this.
Thank you.
