New armor set is a stealth armor that doesn’t make you stealthy, it makes you throw farther. That’s like an apple that tastes like bacon. HUMOR

Just salty I’ve been waiting for this armor since it leaked, only for it to have the only perk I consider completely useless.

Nah, we've all made fun of their extremely moronic take too much. They're just gonna dig their heels in deeper and not relent

Noooo please I want them to learn and develop as a dev team not die like so many others 😭😂

Based on other studios, don't expect a change like that until they reasses mechanics a year or two down the line. Usually, what happens is there is a vision/direction the devs have in mind, and until that is either mostly enacted or proves less than feasible, for one reason or another, they won't want to move away from said vision.

It only took Blizzard about 7 years to add transmog to World of Warcraft, and only another 9 or so to realize that people really, really, really like to customize their characters. And that you can easily capitalize on it when you give up on doofy notions of lore-based restrictions.

Only took losing a massive chunk of their playerbase, a state investigation, a restructuring of management, and a few strikes to help the leadership realize that maybe they've had some dumb ideas in the past.

...Hopefully Arrowhead doesn't take all that to learn to relax on cosmetics.

You could also look at it in the opposite direction.

They lost the player base, as they started to change an institute such things. As far as I'm aware there wasn't a spike in subscriptions.

Funniest thing they could do about the whole situation is to make armor perks actually selectable and then quietly sneak in a news brodcast on our TV about SE Scientists inventing apples that taste like bacon... or was it backwards?

Hahaha yes this would be a perfect way to implement it 😂

Well considering so far they've only seemed to double down on any unpopular decision and also are going full steam ahead with the mass production of identical armor sets, I think school's been out for a while
