I'm more confused than ever. How am I going to make the mission shorter if I'm 1 minute off being too short? I guess people think it's boring to play, and thus feels long, but I'm giving them robots to fight, what else could they want? I'm really, really confused. Do you want more waves? Do you want more subwaves? What makes my entire mission stale and boring consistently? How does everyone else manage to make an enjoyable experience in 3 rounds of testing whereas I'm still nowhere close 8 versions later and counting? What am I missing? What's the process to making an MVM mission fun if it's not based on how much of a reasonable challenge it is? I must be missing something huge, you all hate me and I still can't figure out why... I nerfed the engineers, I reduced the support, I lowered the giant counts, over and over and over and yet it's still "too spammy garbage by metaladon who never learns"..... What am I MISSING? What appeals to you guys? What makes a good MVM mission?
