Top 10 Quality of Life Features I Want in XDefiant!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 июл 2024
- So far, I've been loving my play time on XDefiant but I often find myself missing certain quality of life features that I think could go a long way to improve the overall player experience. Today, I wanted to share my top 10 non-gameplay features that I think could have the biggest positive impacts on the game. What are some QoL features that you'd really like to see in XDefiant?

Hell yeah!
I am fatherless 🥲
@@SaneU_csame
@@SaneU_c ain't nobody ask bastard. LOL
@@SaneU_c Don't worry, me too. But i think it will get better with time
Being able to save custom guns would be awesome but also being able to REMOVE ATTACHMENTS without having to go into that attachment submenu. Just like clicking X on that catagory removing it.
You can. Click the attachment.
Like you want your optic gone- click optic, itll bring you to your optics.
And the first option will be to not use one, then it lists your attatchment options, but the first option is "no attachment"
@reklezzz9038 yes this is what he wants to avoid 😂😂
@@Strafus oh I thought he meant the menu like when you select an attachment and it brings up the screen to make you remove one
Would be nice if the game doesn't freeze everytime it says "creating match"
Yes that is really annoying
I haven't experienced this on PC. Hopefully its getting squared away for you boys tho!
@dannyhogs6915 I play pc and it's definitely there and it's definitely annoying
Yup.. And if it freezes when you are putting on or removing an attachment it kicks you out the menu and you have to re add air remove the attachment again smh
@@dannyhogs6915 you do 😂 I play on pc. When that creating match screen comes up it doesn’t let you do anything
The ‘Creating Match’ pop up needs to go for sure. Why does it have to freeze the entire screen? So frustrating if I’m in the middle of changing a loadout.
My biggest request was on your list; a Mercenary Playlist. I absolutely adored having this as an option back in the classic CoD days, and it's been greatly missed! Hopefully something like this can be introduced. It's already super nice that matchmaking tends to match parties together more often as is, but having a truly solo que only playlist is the dream! Thanks as always for the vids, Ace!
This too was something I've been wanting and was excited to see it on Ace's list getting some attention.
Edit the HUD completely.
- Minimap size(red dots are tiny)
- Hitmarker indicator size( Gets in the way cause of how big it is)
- Kill/assist indicator size/ opacity
Basically stuff to get rid or improve visual clutter.
also get rid of the ambient audio its terrible that my abilities and capping zones makes noise.
@@armanromana1580 ‼️‼️‼️‼️
Yes yes YES to a mercenary playlist! I would absolutely love to see this in xdefiant
on the topic of getting more info after dying, I noticed that when you respawn, you get red indicators on your screen for each player that damaged you, pointing to where they are. they don't stay very long, but can kind of give you a sense of how many people shot you.
Oh so thats what it is
@@kendarr yeah... It's not a great indicator. But it's better than nothing.
I would like to test all of the attachments available, on any guns in the firing range, even if I havent got it yet. Because as of right now, you can only test with the attachments you have unlocked.. I would like to try differents attachments, so If there is one I like, i can work towards unlocking it..
Lol, never heard that one? With double xp plus a active double xp it takes like one night to lvl up a couple of weapons
Chocolate is fine.
It's hard for me to say what I would want nongameplay wise, because I have a lot of suggestions gameplay wise lol. I guess I would like:
1. Menus to not be interrupted when a lobby is being created
2. Having loadouts be the second tab, next to Lobby
3. Being able to choose a map by just pressing a button instead of holding a button (don't see the point in holding the button)
4. Being able to switch your choice of maps instead of being locked into one choice (I guess maybe they did this too prevent trolling but still)
5. Being able to see advanced stat changes on attachments EVEN WHEN THEY'RE NOT attached to the gun (or even when they're not unlocked yet)
Also, Happy Father's Day Ace!
I dislike the fact that you cannot navigate the menu during match creation and it's especially annoying when I'm customizing a gun and I get kicked out of the menu after waiting about 10s for the match to be created. Not to mention whenever I join a match in progress while I just wanted to add a newly unlocked attachment to the gun
You basically listed everything that I was thinking. Only thing I would add that I think would help out new players is the ability to view the full map layout kinda how cod does it. This would help new players be able to see the layout of the map and view what routes they might want to take.
Reducing visual clutter would be great. Reducing the size of icons, moving the kill and assist notifications, and an option to remove name tags would help clear the screen a lot.
I agree with all the things on your wishlist. I’d love a BO1 style combat record
The Treyarch/BO1 combat record was the best no doubt
Fr ^
I think seeing how far along your base level you are and how much it’s increased each match would be nice too
Part indicators would be great. Totally agree on the reasons. Heck, it would even be nice just to know why the other team seemed so well organized.
Love this, maybe the devs will actually notice this feedback I hope. I've tried tweeting and posting to reddit many times asking for a mercenary playlist. Also show parties in lobby like you said. Solo experience is rough in XD, especially if you have good stats. At least in cod a solo player can earn streaks to help them carry more. If they add a mercenary playlist my playtime would double immediately.
Congrats on the baby Ace! Hope everyone is doing well!
As a game Dev myself some of the things you are asking for are not easy to implement so it will prob take some time other things would be fairly easy to do. Net code for me would be definitely #1 then kill cams would be #2 then prob a way to host a game for friends would be #3. As I am also working on a Multiplayer FPS I love to play XDefient, This game along with being a long time COD player have given me the tools I need to make a Good FPS, hopefully by then end of the year I should have it playable online. Keep up the good work Ace I'm glad you are covering both this and COD and I'm hoping this game is still going strong after BO6 as I have my doutes about it really changing to much but still have my fingers crossed.
I'd really like to see more Scope & Reticle customization.
Another QoL or accessibility feature that I would like to see would be a customizable HUD. Like being able to move certain elements around or make them bigger/different, change the color of the text, etc. I would love to be able to move the kill feed to the bottom left, because that's just where I'm used to it being because of CoD and literally every other FPS game that I've played in recent memory. I would also love to be able to increase the mini-map size just a bit and change it to a square instead of a circle so that it would show more stuff and more areas of the map.
Persistent lobbies would improve my experience like 100 times. In 90% of my matches, i'm still getting killed instantly and i need to get like 20 hitmarkers to kill, so if i could just stay in that one lobby, which works, i'd enjoy the game much more
I love that you covered the big stuff, but I would love to talk about the small stuff too (can come waay later). Would appreciate them giving us the ability in settings (or via create a class) to have different colored dots for the sights, and be able to custom color the enemies, hit markers, etc.! That would be nice!
1 QoL change i like to see is customizing your hud
for the longest time thanks to MWII and MW2019 i sometimes forgot the Minimap even exists
i wish we can increase the size of the Minimap or change it to like a giant square shape so that way people can notice it a bit more
you can move it in and down, so it is easier to look at instead of way up in the corner.
@@Krydolph you mean adjust hud limits? yes i know about that but even with that sometimes i still forget the Minimap exists
Blame MW2019 and MWII for that...
I agree with you on that one as sometimes I forget to check the mini map thanks to Infinity Ward! As some people say its the 'Infinity Ward brain rot'. XD
@@paulkdragon Nothing to do but start relearning then :)
I haven't played those CoD games. But I have always been trash at remembering to look at my mini map. But I find moving it in and down makes it easier for me!
It might not be exactly what you want, but its better than nothing :)
If you play on pc you can edit one of the config files to increase minimap size, cant remember which one so you'll have to search it up.
Custom games are a must! 1v1s, playing against friends, 8s, wagers, scrims, etc. Adds so much replayability. I spend ab half my play time in custom games. 😂
These are great proposed additions. Hopefully we can see them in-game soon!
Yo Ace, there is an indicator for headshots, it’s not in the kill feed, but on your death screen where it tells you what gun the killed you with, in the same area where it says if you were highlighted by the intel suit, it does show the headshot marker if they headshot you, vs if they regular kill you
Congratulations on the baby Ace!
Ping feature would go crazy
One useful thing to have is that the game being "smart" enough to know that if you have a completed battle pass there is no need turn on 2xp tokens, if you're on that screen trying to enable a 2xp weapon token and the "Creating Match" banner appears, once you get again the cursor is set on the BP tokens and you risk wasting one since you need to be quick at that moment. (Happened to me twice)
100 percent on the party icon ! Would make a huge difference .
One big reason I left COD was disbanding lobbies. I hope Xdefiant fixes that soon so I can keep playing. Not having to play against parties would also keep me around. I suck at solo, so imagine how bad I am against a party that is making call outs and using strategies.
Feature i would love removed - "creating match"
I’ve been absolutely loving xdefiant and of course your coverage of it! It launched in a pretty good state all things considered and I’m on my toes waiting for season 1.
Loving the xdefiant content!
More filters for searching for matches. For example, maybe a map filter if you do not want to play certain levels (maybe trying to complete challenges for weapons), and adding another filter option for games in progress
08:05 - you already know if you died by headshot on the bottom of your screen (where it also says stuff like revelead by intel or solar goggles).
I'd love to see a damage recap tho similar to COD, it would explain why you died in split second (like getting sniped from behind and an opponent finishing you off, you may miss on that shot from behind and wonder why you just died)
Still, a HS icon in kill feed would be nice regardless, just for bragging rights :D
Facts
Love this game! pls give us killcams!
Custom Reticle colors too, but also confirmed they are coming.
They’ve confirmed everything is coming. No timelines. But why release the game if all the stuff players want is “coming later”
Thanks Ace! Happy Fathers day!
when you die, the respawn screen tells you if you died by headshot. the skull next to what weapon that killed you displays it. you get the skull with a cross hair (the same as the one that pops up when you kill someone with a headshot) on it if it was a headshot.
I definitely remember seeing a tweet about wallbangs and headshots in the kill feed. Not sure where that tweet went.
Those are some good features! Hopefully they add some of those in the next few months
I would like to have several color options for the "red dot"/cross and some settings regards opacity and color of the hud (e.g. objective markers). I want them to be more transparent to actually see the enemy, when they are behind the marker symbol
Xdefiant is a good game but I only play a few games until I start to feel bored.
- I feel it would be great to add in skin unlocks similar to how Halo 3/COD blackout did it with getting achievements. Something I wish Apex Legends had done would have been "Hit [Master] (assuming it's the top ranked tier) to unlock character skin for your faction in ranked play".
- Though it'll come soon, weapon diversity is pretty minimal. I'd love to see weapons like the PPSH, MG42, Scar, etc. added into the game.
- A lot of the maps are designed great but many have a similar feel to them. 3 lane maps are great but when they are all 3 lanes it feels a bit stale for future content.
- I like the map voting but hardly anyone votes so I'd love to see just a general UI rework to move things around.
I like the Moshpit idea but i'm looking forward to TDM and SND in the future (i know it's gameplay related though).
The feature im looking forward to the most, although unconfirmed, is teamates that play objectives.
My biggest thing is the lobbies. People don’t understand how much that changes a game and is a big reason why the old CODs were so good. I have so many friends on Xbox because of being able to play with randoms multiple games.
Also add Lobby leaderboards or combat records. Basically any way to see another player’s stats, faction preferences, and weapon preferences. Also changes the game more than people think. Allows you to pick out who you’re going to need to make your bitch pre match. Gives you a way better idea for what you’re in for than party indicators.
Attachment quick apply (to all classes of same weapon) or custom saves
Attachment stat comparison (within category)
Killcams with weapon attachment info
Loadout menu access when waiting to join a match
Post match reports stating XP earned plus ability to see this in Profile when leaving lobby
Customisable HUD with at least ability to resize standard elements
A K/D counter in the corner so you don't have to keep pulling up the scoreboard.
Saving weapon builds would be great as for some reason majority of my weapons disappeared and it put the default M4A1 instead, which I didn't realise untill I was loaded into a game. Not sure if anyone else has had that issue. But now I'm finding it difficult to recreate my previous builds.
For those who don't know if you died to a headshot, look in the bottom left. It will show a little skull with crosshair on the forehead and say ___ killed you using ___. Wish it was a bit more obvious but still useful. Look at 9:22 in the bottom left.
I would love to see custom binds for controller as well as trigger deadzones
Superb video
Mercenary Moshpit for sure! Followed by party indicators. Would make life much better for solo players!!
Hey Ace do you plan on making best attachment setups as you do with CoD for XD?
I really want to be able to skip the post match screen, or significantly reduce the timer to get back to the lobby. Also when you wait for a game and get the "creating match", make that not freeze the whole lobby. It's nice to tweak loadouts while waiting for a game.
I like the only solo mode great idea, as i dont have any friends.
Same (none of them play this game)
I have friends they just don't wanna play this with me 😢
@@asdfghjkl2261 the sadness
I can vote for persistent lobbies rn bc of how the xp boosters work, but i play casually and enjoy playing with different (usually) people each match
But everything else is golden. I hadnt thought of mercenary mode but thats a good idea too!
I'd love to see clan tags. Not a big feature but I use it a lot in COD
how about addressing the fact that lmgs have the same ttk as assault rifles wtf?, lmgs should always have the edge in this regard right now the only benefit is the magazine
It'd be nice if they had a feature like in Apex Where you can see exactly how many bullets hit you and how many were headshots, AND it tells you if multiple people shot you
With those custom games, having bots would be amazing as well. Would be wonderful for those that like to warm up. I personally don't play fps games as hardcore as I used to but the option would be great.
Also, not 100% necessary for the game to thrive but I originally got into COD when I my friends invited me to play Hardcore mode way back in MW2009. I totally understand that hardcore mode is NOT the mode with the highest skill ceiling, but I'm sure for a good chunk of people it'll be a very fun and welcome way to play the game.
Killcam and who dealt damage would be nice! Many times I’m in a 1v1 and I die by what I assume is a third party because their health is at 100 in the death screen. So some times I’m asking “how did I not win that gunfight”. It’s kind of hard figuring out who actually killed you.
It’s simple, I see TheXclusiveAce and click on the video. 🤩
I would like to see some sort of trophy system. The nades spam tends to get a bit excessive
on the contrary, i wish we could have things like cancel reload with ADS in bo6. i've never felt the need to YY once while playing xdefiant
For me I would love to use skins with mastery camos like in cod. As someone that always grinds mastery camos and with more confirmed to be coming I have no reason to use/ buy skins for weapons.
I'm sure this would help a lot when it come to ubisoft making money, but it would also be nice to see.
Congrats on becoming a father
I think it would be awesome to customize the look of my character using pieces of different skins that I earn as I play. Maybe I use a headpiece from one and a leg piece from another. Maybe I use gloves from one and I use boots from another. that way there’s a little bit of personalization added to the character other than just skins that everybody has
Oh yeah, I remember doing that in Advanced Warfare.
I’d like to see a rework of the main menu. I don’t really like seeing a shop skin filling half my screen. It would be cool if you could see your character and any friends that join you. That way you can showcase that swag that you’ve earned/purchased
Hardcore style mode like from COD would definitely draw me back in. I don't really like slow TTK much in most games, so hardcore is what keeps me in COD most of the time.
Oh your aim is trash huh 😂
Red dot opacity up and / or to be able to tune the distance (eye / aiming devices)
How about a seasonal faction based gun camo that can be earned over the season. For example With the Cleaners can earn a urban I love NYC camo by getting 100,000 points of burn damage, DedSec : Disrupt for 30 minutes and receive a I
Congratulations! Happy Father's Day!
I'd like a more detailed combat record
Love the idea of a solo mosh style. As well as backing out of playing against teams beforehand. I've never dropped a match because we were getting destroyed by a party, because im not good enough to care about my kd, and I can take a loss without being upset. Ive been in matches where people complained and dropped out. While i understand, i also do not understand, I understand why. I don't understand the psychology behind having to feel like a pro, unless you are of course a pro.
x2 boosters are a joke. First, they can make them in game time. Battlefield does. They offer fewer than CoD. CoD gives them out like candy, which compensates perfectly well for me. Xdefiant doesn't give many out, and the last time i used a 20 minute weapon bonus, it lasted me about 1.1 matches due to the huge delays between matches. For a game that focuses on ping or latency rather than skill, they're doing an awful job. I went into the second game with 2 minutes left on that 20 minute x2. By the time the matched loaded and started, it might have expired. 1.1 was generous.
Hour tokens are almost a no go for me in xdefiant. I have a neurological disorder that causes excessive sleepiness. (Thinkng reading in bed, when you realizes you haven't taken in the last five pages because you hit micro sleep, and imagine playing a game in that state. 😂. One reason i like multiplayer fps is that the matches are about 10 minutes. If i need to nap after a match or two, cool. I have so many hour tokens with CoD i do not care if I lose some time on them. They'll give out have more on some seasonal challenge. Xdefiant needs to hsnd them out like candy, or make them in game time (like battlefield).
Regarding persistent lobbies: most people do not use comms. I tend to turn them on. Put the mic to my mouth at the start to say "good luck everyone. And have fun!" And at the end to say "good game. good effort team" and congratulate the MVP.
BUT, every single awesome conversation ive had with other players in matches, from people about my skill level who chat about everything from playing hockey to the book they're reading, to those high skill players who are down to earth and happy to party up with a bad player like me because I do my best, PTO, and simply keep chat positive, has been on Xbox. Every last one. No cross console party invites is bad. I've written down the screen names of these folk in hopes it comes in the future. But this goes beyond persistent lobbies a bit.
The rest, like weapon build saves, i agree with. Just have nothing to say that you didn't say and in this instance think i agree with all 😊
P.s. Forgive spelling snd grammar. My fingers dont fit my phone. 😂. And yes, i still try to yo press up on the d pad to tag snipers for my team. Im full of laughs!
Yo man, I would love a breakdown of the healing numbers in this game. It would be very useful.
they actually do tell you if a kill was a headshot , its just exclusively who killed you , in the bottom left corner, there will be a skull , but itd better to just have in the top right
Custom Lobbies for the win. It always sets the base for tournaments and a pro scene. Playing against your friends is always fun too.
When you die I'd like it to show the many times you have killed each other. They had this feature in Blops 4.
A lot of great suggestions but a mercenary playlist is #1 for me.
A barebones no abilities playlist would be great or a least a way to counter abilities
Completely agree with the list!!
If i remember correctly, any party three or bigger gets queued up against other parties
Hud Scaling would be great. Especially if it is by part. Minimap size is fine but I really don't need anything else to be as large as it is.
Some walls definitely can be shot through even though they look like hard cover which just makes the net code stuff more confusing.
Another one I dont think many people are talking about but might just be a me thing, is that the loading screen when you boot up the game. No reason why I should have to wait and watch 3 separate loading screens to load in the game. The first one I get its like a notice of reasons to play or not to play but the later 2 i feel like thats just a waste and let me load in. I dont want to boot it up and wait through 3 loading screens. Another thing is that the loading for leaving a game, now im sure there a reason for it but ive seen other games and there no long loading screens for it. Another thing when a game ends I feel like you should be able to straight leave and get ready to que again. Sometimes I do wanna commend other players but at times I just want to play and have to wait quite a bit just to get into another game. Of course all these reasons can be explained its just something I hope they fix in the future, nothing to serious.
Congrats on the baby ace hope mum and child are doing ok 🎉
i would love to see skin packs make a huge return, no more one or two weapon skins, they have some talented artist it may take longer, but give me skins for every gun at a solid price, like bo2 with all those unique amazing skins
Non magnified sights not costing an attachment slot because some weapons have unusable iron sights. Plus you know at some point they are going to have a weapon skin with superior iron so you wont need a red dot making it a pay to win since that slot can go to a different attachment.
Detailed stats could be improved. Currently I find I have to equip the attachment and then go to detail vs just a toggle for detailed stats and then allowing you to scroll through the list of attachments and see the details for each without needing to equip it.
IDK how they are going to implement kill cam with a 1 second respawn timer, but I suppose you can just choose to wait out the respawn to watch how you died.
Hey, Ace. Appreciate the xDefiant content/exposure. Don't take this the wrong way, but I gotta ask: Since you're primarily a codtuber, will you drop xDefiant as soon as BO6 releases?
Yes. Yes he will. He’s only covering XDefiant because it’s something new. He still needs to eat
A mode with no abilities
Region selection
And a target in the little killed by screen showing where you got shot. And what attachments they used
Also I don't like killcams really maybe just a final killcam cuz we all know everybody skips them
Please mercenary playlist! It was great feature in Bo4. Which was another ability based shooter which meant no parties stacking with 5 of the same abilities.
Enjoying the game a lot. I'm 40 and don't want to invest in a scuff, but f it. It feels like a real arcade shooter like old CODs.
Happy Father’s Day, Ace! I have a question regarding cod killcams.
You say they aren’t perfectly accurate because it just uses time stamps and simulates what happened, which I get. What about spectating? Do you know if spectating is the same way, or is it a live feed of EXACTLY what the person playing is seeing?
If you don’t know, no worries, but it’s just something I thought of now. Keep up the great work! You’re doing a great job.
It will be a similar situation, since game servers typically run on a low tickrate, like 30hz. Anything outside of the 30 actions per second is not recorded by the server and you won't see what happened in those moments.
The only way you get to see what exactly happens on a player's screen is if they stream it for you, and even then you won't get the full picture unless they're playing at the same framerate as they're streaming at.
Mapping buttons would be great
I want to change/ customize my dot sights to different colors
They don’t want kill cam’s because it would show how bs the the connection is and that it took 30 shots to kill someone
