Why I think R2DA is failing.

*BUGS AND AESTHETICS ASIDE*

This will be comparing R2DA with R2D since R2D still has 100 players easy on pc and gets to 400 on xbox alone

The game is very slow paced, most of your surviving will be done in one area taking ammo untill it runs out, and almost nothing will get to you because you will mow them down. UNLESS a brute comes. At which point if you are alone you have almost no chance of killing IT and all the other zombies because more often than not you run out of ammo before you can kill the brute let alone the other normal zombies.

Then there is the ticker, sure it doesnt explode much unlike the boomer it doesnt always explode, or explode on command but when the ticker does explode and its very easy to get it to explode if all you want to do is close a path up like a stairwell all you have to do is stand there and turn around and boom escape route will no matter what damage them and if there are 2 brutes coming from the other side well lets just say you aren't going to go through 2 brutes but since this game isnt like R2D in the sense that if you are almost dead you can easily patch yourself up, in R2D you could just run around the map and find medi-kits in handy dandy boxes or if someone died without using them they will be on the ground, but in R2DA they cost money wich is hard to come by. Recently it has gotten easier since you dont have to pick it up but the fact that the game is so slow money isnt raining down on you like it did in R2D where you could get a shotgun and just pick off one zombie after another and easily get over 300 a round. It would be better if he made it so you could buy armor and the armor would last forever like guns instead of having to buy a new one every round since money isnt as easy to get since, yes I have already bought the glock and I have hundreds but I still don't waste my money on items and armor because I don't see it as helpful they just are wasteful to me I mean 40$ for a grenade that MIGHT kill 1 MAYBE 2 normal zombies so I might get 1/4 or 1/2 of my money back but why would I even buy it? In r2d I didn't buy armor I used my halloween armor and I just brought c4 to the fight, I didn't use c4 very often I actually hardly ever used it. But there were specific times where it was handy, sure it was 100$ but I wouldn't even need 10 normal kills because I could kill smokers and boomers easy with 1 shot from a shotgun and already get 50$ and then there were the AI zombies which were just extra coins. Or you could just use 1 c4 brick out of the 4 or however many you got wait for a tank and use it and he could fling off the map and you already made all your money back and you still have more c4. And why is there no medi-kits in the game? I get its hard to kill people but thats because he tried to balance the game so much. R2D was good humans were op but zombies were USUALLY normal speed but since they came in huge numbers like in every zombie movie they could eventually take out the survivors. In this game the annoying normal zombies are faster than you by quite a bit and every touch is deadly because you cant just heal yourself but after that it just goes from slow to slower. Sure brutes can do insane damage to you but THATS IF THEY ARE NEAR YOU. Their club is SUPER easy to dodge the only map were brutes are most useful in are the tiny island map where all you can do is try to run past people since the water is basically a dead zombie for you, and when you go under the map in the island map when it gets over run often times I cant get out because I run out of stamina before I reach the top and have to slowly swim up while all the zombies are coming in on me. And if I were to be honest I hate the island map because of how small it is and actually how much of it is a playable space, because most of the grassy parts are the main portion of the map only problem is thats where all the zombies spawn, the only places where they dont spawn AS MUCH is right next to the ammo boxes but even there they will spawn a decent distance too, so all you can do is all camp underwater or just try to run around as much as you can before you stamina evetually all runs out at which point you die.



HOW I THINK HE CAN FIX THESE PROBLEMS AND MAKE IT FUN WITH NEW FEATURES



First off we need more guns, I never actually use the glock even when I'm out of ammo I just run around trying to find another ammo station for my mp5, in R2D I use a shotgun and a katana, if I'm out of ammo or im just trying to get from one spot to the other I can run with my katana in hand and just cut whoever gets in the way but mostly I can easily 1 shot any zombie and they just keep coming so I just keep making money, not everyone likes shotguns so people use assult rifles aka the famas and before that the mini gun, and some people just like the simple sniper. No matter what you liked there was a weapon for you :) But in R2DA there is only 1 gun you are going to be using unless you want to dish out 100+ robux for a gun you will only get in a beta in which more than 1/2 the time is empty and it is nothing like R2D's RPG a lot of the time you could 1 hit a tank maybe they will have a bit hp left over but that could be easily taken care of with most weapons but no no no not the bazooka I was a brute and I was shot by 5 bazooka bullets before I finally died. People don't like the tanks because they were "op" but were they really? A normal player could use a shotgun and take care of a tank pretty easy a famas would take care of one even easier in 1 clip no less and even if you missed a shot hop on to your secondary and boom they are done. The problem with tanks was people who were rich because money was so easy to get would just simply buy tank after tank after tank. Sure it was limited to mostly the rich people and people who didn't care about saving money but after the hackers came it was a lot bigger issue which made people say no tanks are bad and so is the famas because people can kill me easy in FFA but I like both the famas and tanks and I would rather see them in R2DA sure maybe not the same stats but lets say you just got through killing a tank what do you have to do now? Reload and lets say that person is a tank buyer what happens to you? You get killed because the reload takes so long so how op is the famas really? And nothing has changed with tanks all that has happened is we got better guns, but I remember when I first started I used the cruddy normal shotgun I say curddy but back then it was the first gun I bought at 2k$ and the only gun I used till I got the spas-12 I did however try the other guns but I eventually went back to the normal shotgun and I could still kill tanks with it. So I would rather prefer brute be changed to "charged tank" and you adding an actual tank that picks up a boulder and throws it over his head or something that makes it similar but not the exact same as the other tank. You should also remove this whole jumping takes stamina thing all it reall does it make it so when you are trying to get up something it makes it so you cant :/ also lower the speed of the normal zombies by a tiny bit and make the other zombies FASTER the boomer was super annoying to me whenever I got it I would just reset and sometimes even the hunter depending on the map, if it was platypus sure id use it because a lot of times people would be near the edge of the rails on top of the ship if it was in the halloween map they would usually be up in small cracks, however if it was the metro map then I would trash it because it had no use it was super slow and it would just jump into the roof and even the boomer wasnt comepltely useless it could hit people through walls  and whenever it was near you, there was a good chance it would blow up so you would avoid it by running  then killing it but the ticker takes it one step up and hurts you even if it doesnt blow up and even if it does the effects from it blowing up stay for like 45 seconds and before made it so you couldn't pick up your coins. Instead it should just have an explosion effect and remove the radiation effect because in a game where you cant heal a few dmg points here and there will add up quick especially when there are zombies faster than you constantly spawning, sure its similar to the boomer but whats different? This one new version will be faster and will have decent hp wich will make people think twice before just exploding because it could get decent damage instead of however many hit points PR wants to make the explosion *it shouldnt be high dmg* and maybe he can make it a radiation explosion to keep the whole radiation theme so you lose 2 hp for 8 seconds making you lose 16 hp in total. And PR should make a system where every rank you get something not always a weapon but items and maybe even add in skills to the game such as

Auto heal- passive skill heal 1 hp every 10 seconds

Scavenger- passive can use ammo boxes one more extra time

Gun hog- active only one use per game unlimited ammo for 30 seconds with any *non explosive* gun

Medical expert - passive pills not only give you your full hp like they normally do they also permanently recover your hp by 50%

These are just my opinions, if you didn't care to read it then please don't comment :) Espeically "tl;dr" Because it will just take up room that I would prefer people could share their opinions on rather than seeing that you are a very lazy person who is just looking for attention.

When asking people in game what PR could do to change his game to make it better I only got one responce saying "It's too childish" And Personally I don't care for that responce because I'll play any game despite how "childish" it looks IF IT IS FUN so clearly it is not that it is childish it is that it just isnt fun enough. And since that is the only responce I even got I can see why it is hard for Place to make changes that the community will like, no one is talking about what they want to see they are just saying its bad and don't say why. It is very hard to fix something in which you don't know what the problem is.

And again, please say if you agree with my opinions on what should be changed and please state what you want to be changed this is not meant for arguments its meant to say what you want if place sees a majority of peopel want a specific thing I'm sure he will TRY to please those people.
