It’s quite a sizeable list, but below you can see a few of the bigger issues being tackled by the development team, along with a description from the forum post. There's no specific date for when these will be rolled out, just that most will be addressed in the game's next Title Update.  

• Hammerburst Balancing “This one has been a big pain point amongst those in Core and Social. Gameplay has been dominated with long range combat and we do have some tuning coming up that will address this. We expect this in the next big Title Update.”
• Competitive Lancer/Gnasher adjustments “We have some additional changes we are planning for the competitive Lancer and Gnasher. We will have more details on this in the future. We expect this in the next big Title Update.”
• Matches not starting with full amount of players “We have a team looking into this immediately as this one is pretty concerning. There may be a quick fix that we can do on the backend to address this but it may require some additional work that would come in a later Title Update. We will do what we can to mitigate and correct this one as soon as possible.”
• Competitive/Core Lobbies “This requires an extensive amount of work but we have it on our roadmap and are hoping to have this out in a future large Title Update.”
• General Pack feedback items “We have received a mountain of feedback regarding our Gears Pack system. We are looking into ways of improving the experience for all users and we are also looking at additional opportunities to help players obtain packs. We will keep you posted on these notes in the near future.”
  
• Harsher Quit Penalties “We are looking to implement some harsher quit penalties to players in an upcoming update. Unfortunately this requires a bit more legwork but we are seeing if we can prioritize and have this come out sooner rather than later. We expect this in a future Title Update but not the next large one.”
