(srswizard) #42

Thanks 4 the freebies, when’s the next one?

I actually enjoy Execution. Not sure why there is so much hate. If isn’t your play style just stick to the other modes. Why would you want them to remove it just because you don’t play it?

The more people they can get into the game the better, even if they might not all be playing the same game mode.

Its fun to change it up occasionally as well. I’d be happy to see more games modes added, but removing Execution seems unnecessary.

CTF would be a lot of fun, I actually had written a bit on this on one of my youtube video’s description. (though I dunno why I put it there honestly…)

Basically was this:

Hey Splash Damage… how about some CTF style game mode? :smiley:

Could be… “Capture the Data Core”. (pretty much just like CTF, but with more narrative/meaning behind why you are doing it)

Two Computer Systems are placed on opposite sides of the map, one for CDA and one for Jackal, each side is trying to hack into the other’s system, but require both team’s Data Cores to attempt a hack.

Each team starts with a Data Core at their own Computer System which is already set in place and awaiting the 2nd Data Core (the enemy’s) for the hack to start.

Your team has to capture the enemy’s Data Core and bring it back to base, while also defending your own Data Core from being captured by the enemy.

Each time both Data Cores are present the hacking process starts, but takes 30 seconds to complete. During this time the enemy is able to stop the hack and return their Data Core, and steal yours.

If a hack is successful it adds hacking progress towards that team, and the Data Cores return to their default locations (each team gets their Core back, but the game continues)

This would then continue until X number of hacks are completed and your team gains access to the other’s systems. (which could then cause different things to happen depending on the map)

Funnily, we can already see that today’s lowest player count is lower than any previous low point ever was!

(FalC_16) #45

I bought a merc for 35k, earned some double credits which is also nice and got one CW card. I am satisfied.

[spoiler]…but wait…not having time to pee, eat and sleep…that was horrid^^[/spoiler]

Yup. You were right. Many people will take break, including me. Thankfully I’ll be playing DOOM this weekend and after that new DB update will be released.

(Scav) #47

I would like to point out that so far everyone, who has been commenting with neutral or satisfied opinion on the CW event got CW cards. :neutral: Awkward? I mean you cant just tell people “SHUT UP, SEE? I HAVE CW CARDS, THEY ARE HERE IN MY INVENTORY, NOW FECK OFF” :tongue:

Ill remain happy with the meltdown event just cause of the discounts, and thx for the 2 elite cases in the beggining of the month. Nothing else tho, just to be clear. CW cases? Fuck em. Had enough of those :smiley:

Yeah, my brother just gifted me Just Cause 3 as an early Christmas gift and given that I spent 60h roaming the world of Panam in the second opus I don’t expect to be playing DB for some time XD

(Captain_Forward) #49

It was good, I earned a bunch of credits and bought Lazer gurl and Artillery boi. I got one event case, but I unboxed one exact same loadout for one exact same merc I had before, and it still feels good after. [spoiler]I r8 it 8/8 no h8[/spoiler]

(Drcipres) #50

I bought anyone :confused: I just got rhino left, so whatever

As well as “Players in the last two weeks” continue to slide. This event only got people who were already playing, to play more. Not grow the active user base at all.

285k on Nov 11,
179k on Thursday Nov 26
178k on Friday Nov 27
181k on Saturday Nov 28
187k on Sunday Nov 29
189k on Monday Nov 30

So all in all, it got 10k people to start playing again… or in sadder terms, only 5% uptake.

Most interesting is the “Total Owners”
3.900m on Thursday Nov 26
3.914m on Saturday Nov 28
3.872m on Monday Nov 30

(3,865,147 ± 48,553 as of writing)

Can we say this event caused nearly 130,000 uninstalls? Who knows, but such a large dip has not happened in the previous month…

(MrLashnibro) #52

Everything is good but if SD is going to have another limited case please increased the drop chance so even vets like us can have at least one special edition card

(Fate_6) #53

Welp, no CW loadouts for me. At least I have a terrible obsidian Phoenix to prove I showed up and opened countless CW cases for nothing.

(Sithas) #54

I liked the event because i needed that merc discount, i got a cobalt card for my favourite merc from the free elite case, after that i didnt care much about the cw cards anymore, but i can understand why people are pissed getting nothing while playing a whole weekend.

(Martín) #55

The only good at this event was being able to get a 50k merc for just 35k and some bugged Expert cases that I got twice. Not even a CW case :s

(Jostabeere) #56

Except the Phoenix is pretty good.

@Scav Sure it sounds rude, but a company who needs money to sustain a game doesn’t care about appreciation for some people who want more besides free-stuff they already got.
They earned a bunch of money with CW cases, why should they give them away?
And no. I have to disagree. Playerbase amount is nothing, if this massive playerbase ain’t paying. I said it some days ago, but can repeat myself. A game with 100 players who are paying consistently will get more successful for the devs than a game with 1.000.000 players and noone is paying. It’s only theoretical, and 100 players wont pay consistently in a f2p game to keep it alive, but you should understand the case.

(3N1GM4) #57

Pricing things lower and removing at least one level of RNG would certainly entice more of the player base to buy more things. $10 for a guaranteed case would have been better than $35 and 10 extra silvers… or $5 for a chance at a CW card

50% paying $20 > 10% paying $75

Sure it would.

(SirMurder) #59
