I don't really appreciate that the game has several performance issues that need to be fixed, but the team saw fit to utilize resources to launch a $99 gear pack today. The last couple of days, when I hit "A" at the main menu, it just hangs there for like 2 minutes while it tries to reach out to the server or something. That's ridiculous. That should be fixed before anything else. I also get some serious loading times when I'm just trying to do simple things like customize my characters as well. I shouldn't have to wait 30 seconds for the Lancer skin screen to drop back to the main weapon screen.
And while I'm at it, why don't they release class-specific card packs? Give me a chance to buy stuff for the class I want to play, and only that class. I talked about this yesterday, but I bought one of the $10 horde bundles which gave me 15 packs. When all was said and done and irrelevant cards were burned for scrap, I had a total of 9 cards that applied to my Engineer. So I paid $10 for 9 cards. That's not even enough to get one of my skills to level 5 from level 4 (requires 10 cards).
TC need to lay off the milking here and focus on providing a better experience for the players. I can only imagine the rage I'd feel after buying a $99 pack and having to burn 85% of the cards for 5 scrap each because they didn't apply to what I was trying to build.
