Any News on that Crafting Update?

(hawkeyeguy99) #1

Many moths ago it was mentioned that the crafting system was going to be given a look at and eventually be updated with changes. I’ve seen nothing from the devs since. Is there any news on when this update will come or if they are even still working on it?

Unfortunately, none.

Radio silence on Crafting since September 2, 2016. That’s 140 days (4, nearly 5, months) at time of writing.

Radio silence on modernizing Gen1 Special Edition since this was closed in August. That’s 5-6 months at time of writing.

@MisterBadmin how do you seem to just know everything ever??!?! like when it comes to all the maths n stuff, dates etc XD

Mister :Coaly: and numbers are like two peas in a pod. :slight_smile:

I have a very good memory, am excellent at holding grudges, know relative time placements for many events and have a natural inclination to do math. For everything else, there’s this wonderful website. (I also love being a wiseass know-it-all.) (Link fixed, this is what I get for trying to be a wiseass know-it-all. Stupid BBCode and requiring http://)

I also like calling bullshit. Which means I like predicting bullshit. Crafting smelled like bullshit when it was first announced. I hate being right sometimes.

@MisterBadmin
That link brings you back to this thread, was that intended?

Oh I see… I think you meant to just have it link to google… lol.
Oddly, it just re-opens this page when you click it.

I’m still waiting for that update…

(K1X455) #8

I give you like. I got radio silence from devs on 2 fronts (here and twitter).

In SD language this generally means they don’t have anything planned and there won’t be any changes in the upcoming months. So far this proved to be true on that subject.

Tip : as long as they don’t give a deadline, even a totally vague one, this generally means it’s not in their priority list for the next 6 months.

In that video you mention, Shoe specifically states ‘What are we doing right now’, ‘Well currently we’re working on a design…’.

Liar liar, pants on fire as my kids would say.

Honestly m8 you should probably do what the majority of people have done, just forget about DB. It’s super dead, and SD doesn’t seem to be running in with the defibs, so the gibbing is probably just around the corner.

Was fun while it lasted, that’s for sure.

after long silence, dock yard is finally coming (soon maybe!) and since crafting system got f****d with after dockyard, its probably not their primary concern right now. my guess would be another 6 months, summer perhaps!

(frostyvampire) #12

Yes there is.

It will come out soon™

(Jan S.) #13

I wonder what they’re working on except CMM and Dockyard.
Because if it’s only those 2 things, I just don’t know why everything takes SOO LONG.
I love SD as a studio, DB is best multiplayer FPS I’ve ever played, but it’s ridiculous.

Same here:

I just hope that if the crafting update abandons fragments they won’t be converted 1:1 into credits :#

(Xyfurion) #16

@MisterBadmin I like numbers too. This subreddit makes me happy inside.

And holy shit I’ve waited too long for crafting.

I swear they treat us like fools and expect us to forget about the things they’ve said they’re going to do, lol.

Had nearly 5 months to change the thing that made so many people mad and even caused some players to quit the game completely.

You can if you like. I’m well aware though. If it really was ‘testing’ then surely they would have changed something by now. They tested it, seen huge negative backlash, promised change/rework and never delivered anything. 5 months ago. A slight change in the costs or using any number of suggestions from the community probably would of been more than sufficient, but instead they did nothing.

I predicted the crafting system would end up costing more to make cards and generally feel like a bad system, and to this day I have not participated at all in crafting. I’d rather hold onto my cards for later.

And given the fact that updates have been so far and few between, I couldn’t keep myself in a DB phase and I’ve been chilling in OW for the past half year or so, waiting for the day DB gets an epic new update and hopefully fixes most of the issues I have with the game (Basically crafting and Phantom’s abilities).

I still hang out in the forums and give whatever insight I can, but I probably won’t be playing a whole lot of DB until something impactful happens.
