Wondering why...

<div class="IPBDescription">"Missing" features</div>I'm wondering why UWE hasn't included things such as the Onos, Catpacks, Jetpacks and the sort yet. We can pretty much guaruntee they have the art assets, and the basis for the code is already there, some tweaks and fixes and you could have it in game in a matter of a few days. So why isn't the game feature complete already? Don't say it's to do with bug fixing, because whilst there are lots of bugs to be fixed. Trickling in new features is only going to cause more problems.
Also, balance, everyone complains about balance. The main counter argument for this is nothing is in place, but this doesn't stop the developers from tweaking the balance only to then screw it up pretty badly next feature update (see 179 to 181 or (40/60 to 30/70 W/L ratio)). Well, if we had everything in this kind of silly counter argument wouldn't be an issue, because everything WOULD be in, and balancing would be a breeze because how can you ###### up balance with new features if everything is already in the game?
I also have this nagging feeling I read somewhere they're saving Onos for "1.0", I think this is a horrible idea. You take a game that should be feature complete and add a new completely untested feature and tell the kids to have at it. Potentially driving customers away because you, take a second here, ###### up the balance! Again! (Though, fairs fair, if they didn't actually say they were going to do this).

Please don't make assumptions about how long things take. If it was that easy and fast, everything would be in the game by now.

You did not read that anywhere, because it was never stated by any dev. The Onos will be in looong before 1.0 release, don't worry.
As others have stated, all of the reasoning behind why the later tech tier game assets have not been added yet has been stated many times in many threads, so please do some searching around for the answers. Thanks.

Think twice about that!
Also OP, that was an Ignorant post, please refrain from making ignorant posts in the future. Thank you.
+1 on actual catpacks :3
like kittens come out and run towards marines and purr and go around your legs and hide when aliens come and you can kick them but you also can like pick them up and snuggle them.
