(Not sure if devs would read this!!!)
Hi, most players may know me as Jakol (88 Aura), playing DB closed beta since 26th March 2015, also W:ET played for 8 years as Medic (Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory- Legend). Know SD due to ET so i gave a shot to DB, cuz i like Fast-paced games.
First i want to say that DB closed beta was much better with 5 mercs only than now, so many mercs makes a chaos. I know you want let players have something to choose i understand this but still, this is too much, doesnt look a shooter anymore its mostly explosive game.
FF (Friendly-Fire) - should be turned on in pubs since we have it in ranked, new players should be able to learn how to not kill teammates. As a medic i would like to train more reviving team (means if player have low HP i Teamkill him to ress him with more HP, instead of let him running whereabouts for packs or station) or stokers molotov where fire range is larger (which is bad), he cant walk on it but his teammate can get throught room of fire? BAD!!!
Levels - I dont understand what is this for? well how is that fun to read newcomer saying like (get a life) or so. I went one day to a non-max level server and they werent higher than 20 lvl and i was 80, but they didnt like it so vote kicked on me, of course it passed… made me so mad i created another account and went back to same serv… and still vote kick and yet again passed cuz lvl 3 is a hacker… i have seen many players here with second accounts. Players wont understand Levels do Sh*t in this game. You want to make servers with max levels, wont (newbie-serv),(midlevel-serv) and (highonly-serv)a good choice for them how hard they want to play?
Gameplay-timer : most players checking time on steam which is wrong (yeah i know i got +3000 hrs on steam (that is because i turns mostly never game off) but on profile i got only 900 hrs(yet newbies yelling to get a life -_-)
Not goin to write down OP mercs since we are missing 2 more and they will still be reconfingured.
“Kicked due to security violation” - I understand this is anti-cheat? seen this for a whole year, you did bug fixes but not this… or just get a better anti-cheat program, its no fun when you play in SW and nearly match ending comes that notification and my time wasted due i wanted to finish missions -_-.
Merc-Limits: how fun is this to play against 6 skyhammers… how are engineers to repair ev when they drops airstrike one after another or 3 bushwhackers placing turrets in triangle around EV? I think it would be a good idea to make max 2 every merc since we are goin to have 20 of em… many choices…
Shuffles - doesnt work correctly, mostly its swap attackers to defenders, but still newbies have to shuffle 2-3 times per round which makes annoying! (make a max vote passed just only 1 time).
I would be glad if Configs wont be able to be changed. in ET times that was unfair!
If you (SD) thinking about to make this game a legend (it wont), rethink about to make a game with ONLY 5 mercs (Medic, field ops, covert ops, soldier and engi) not 4 of each classes, like this i dont think this will last long. (Just my thinking)
PS. Sorry for my english xD
With regards and respect
Jakol
