Can DB impliment this?

I know this is a fast pace game and I like it, frustrating at times but also very challenging. Can DB add in something like when someone gets shot it maims them for a sec? Wouldn’t it put a damper on those who fly right in, headshot then zoooom away? Shouldn’t there be some sort of penalty for getting hit? I remember one other game that did this and it changed a lot of things. Just an idea? What do you all think it would if DB added something like this to the game?

HE’S TRYING TO NERF AIMEE AGAIN! GET HIM!

I see what you are saying. It’s asinine that someone with a knife can run at you, while you shoot him 7 times, even head shots and that person still kills you.

If you shot anyone in the game 7 times with a weapon with HEADSHOTS and didn’t kill him then either you were using a pistol, or you should have swapped to the melee and won.

The entire point of a game like DB is that there isn’t anything like this. To implement it would completely change the game, and remove a lot of people’s reasons for playing it over other games. People play DB specifically because you can shoot and run.

People shouldn’t be punished for quick hits, because that’s pretty much the entire draw of the game. Fast mercs would become next to useless in combat as they can no longer use speed to their advantage, and overall the game would become considerably slower. I’m not sure why you’d suggest this at all since you said you liked the fast paced, but oh well.

If you can’t kill someone who’s trying to melee you, you really outta find a new game. Melee is extremely hard to get reliably good at beyond killing the occasional noob. And unless you’re facing a melee pro who deserves the kill anyways, either run away and shoot or melee back, lol. Don’t get within melee distance and be surprised when someone beats you with a bat instead of continuing to shoot you, it’s part of the game, and it’s why I play it.

A freaking MEN

Maybe your mom should find a new game.

why so negative all of the time?

I find it weird when people complain about something that is one of the major reasons people play DB. Not something like “nerf proxy” or whatever, but stuff like “DB is too fast, slow it down”, or “there should be a fair play compensater”.

I get it, not everything in DB is for everyone, and that’s fine. But please don’t ask for the entire fabric of the game to be changed just because it’s not your preference, because well, most of us are playing the game because we like it the way it is. And if you really hate something so deeply ingrained in the game, you should think about finding one that better suits your preferences. I don’t mean it as an attack on you or OP, I’m not just trying to say “git gud”, I just don’t understand why some people stick to DB when they hate such a major gameplay mechanic that everyone else here loves.

Please keep things on track though.

There is a lot of “we” and all I see is you. No need to bully the poor guy for just voicing his opinion. He just wants to have fun same as you.

Her certainly spoke for me. :confused:

@Stokes1 you kinda touched a sensitive spot for the community there. There is already punishment for getting shot in the head: you flinch and your aim gets thrown off, aka aimpunch.

Most of the community is here because the lack of such elements that you mention; get shot first, you die because you can’t fight back. People here UTTERLY HATE that. It’s already heavily argued that the mere presence of aimpunch is completely agaist the spirit of the game.

Sorry I mentioned it, I’ll keep my mouth shut. So much for ideas.

Hey really dude, keep ideas coming! It’s just that what you asked for directly changes the flow of DB. The reason I might choose Kira over Arty would strictly be for speed and ability to maneuver around players better. Getting a crap ton of disagrees doesn’t mean you should never mention it again and that people hate you, it just means that what you said people flat out disagree with. If a moderator popped in here and saw 22 likes and no disagrees, they might think hey, this is a community sought after idea. In your case, this goes completely against not only what the community wants, but how DB was designed. Just… if you name any more ideas, don’t let them punish skill or playstyle unless that skill or playstyle is absolutely against DB mechanics, like glitching turrets in a skybox. We shouldn’t be having that.

We should probably let this thread die tbh. I don’t think anything good is gonna come out of it, lol
