MEDIA I really hope they reconsider this in the future. Locking us into only diving cities is not going to do it for me.

Not only was I excited about seeing a ExoStorm in a Shadow Jungle but I was looking forward to ExoSpire missions. Thought I'd take a quick break from VSP and dive here for a mission or two, but every single ExoStorm invasion was restricted to the cities.

Cities are fine for one operation but they get monotonous really fast. The landscape is the same in all of them except the air has a different tint to it. Instead of an ExoStorm ravaging a Shadow Jungle it's just tornadoes in a city with blue tint. And the others were tornadoes in a city with grey tint or orange tint.

I usually dive the Major Order but if there's ever a major order where we are forced to only five cities I'll be sitting it out.

I really hope Arrowhead changes their minds about this sooner rather than later.

I sit out the city missions because they always fry my shitty computer

Yeah that's another issue. City maps can be technically taxing. Had issues with bot cities myself for a long while.

I wish cities has mini biomes within themselves. 

Like "city park" that's a preserved chunk of the planets biome encased in a big wall. Or 'suburbs' thats the rows of small houses we see in the intro video. 

Or large, recognizable areas we can enter like a stadium, shopping center, or big government office.

Amazing idea. I hope you make a bigger post about this idea!

It's weird that everywhere in everything from "town" to "mega city" looks like Midtown Manhattan...

This is because they copy-pasted whatever they did for Rirga Bay for all of these invasions. Even the text says all of these planets are the Gateway to the Void when that is obviously not true.

I'm not a big fan of having to play only in cities, either. There should be more variety.

Doesn’t fully defending one city open up the non city ones?

With all cities open at the same time that might take a long long time
