Can you guys give me a reason to play again this game?

(HoakinBlackforge) #1

Its been months since i have played dirty bomb, but in one of the last updates, the devs decided to turn the game into a AoEfest, so basically any character that used explosives that wasn’t fire support, became the most dangerous in the game, and really overpowered in my point of view, something that killed the fun for me.

Now, i dont know if that has been reverted, or they nerfed it, but, i have been running out of games recently, and after seeing videos about the game again, i got a urge to play it again, but still, im not sure if its gonna be worth it.

I mean, the game is less about AoE at this point, but I still can’t give you a good reason to come back.

I am basically just playing for the sake of playing at this point.

You should come back because you enjoy the gameplay, nothing else. If someone has to give you a reason to come back, you’re probably not playing the kind of game you enjoy! :slight_smile: Just give it another go (I mean, it is free to download after all!) and if you don’t like it, no harm done, just uninstall and go find something else to play. That’s the best I can suggest really, because nothing beats seeing for yourself.

If you don’t find a reason yourself, No.

Get into 5v5 PuGs and it’s an entirely different pace with far less spam from my experiences. Public is a mess, which is expected as anyone of any skill can join. If you don’t want to PuG you best get good at dodging explosives (which honestly? never had an issue with, and I usually play medics so I get focused a ton).

What i want to know if there has been a change on the game, like, the explosive carrying characters were nerfed, or phantom has been finally reworked. Things like that.

Nader is more or less useless after the last patch. Explosives are easy to get away from if you know what you’re doing.

Phantom is still broken as hell, but I know people that can top charts with him.

I am feeling really bad when ppl complain about Phantom’s balance … I know he should be more invisible and less noisy while running around still he is perfect in this form too … I play with phantom and top the table with no pressure …

Today I played with Phantom and got this :

This is not for the publicity but to show that Phantom can be effective in games if you know to use him properly …

The only advice is USE THE GUNS OF PHANTOM … don’t depend only on the katana … i think that is what makes you feel disappointed when you miss the kill with katana …

And coming back to your question … Dirty Bomb is fun <3 if you ask a reason to come back … i would say beat your best is the only reason to come back … I play DB everyday in order to beat my best … i would be like today 70 kills okay tomo will go for 80 kills and that is what makes me to play DB everyday with fun and joy … No merc is OP if you know the trick to pull them down.

Yeah, i perfectly know how to play phantom, i got a screen with more than 30 kills in a single match.

But after playing a single match, really, i have realized that explosives are still damn overpowered, 100 damage its a lot for any merc in the game. This dissapoints me.

Yeah, so many people use Phantom’s invisibility wrong and just try to katana everyone they ambush. It’s much easier to shoot someone in the back than stab someone in the back.

If you can’t find a reason on your own to return, you probably shouldn’t. Explosives have been tuned down somewhat since I initially played in July, they’re always going to be there on some level no matter what though.

After trying to convince someone back into the game, I’ve come to realise that we cannot give you a reason to play again.

Give yourself a reason to play again. That’s how you start, that’s how you resume. Once you’ve lost your motivation to play, only YOU can find new motivation because ultimately no one else can control your thoughts.

(HoakinBlackforge) #13

Well, returning just now from fiding myself with 3 guys constantly spamming the chat with caps on and making jihadist jokes. Where do i report this?

(N8o) #14

There is no report for griefing.

Welcome to the unicorn that is Dirty Bomb.

(LifeupOmega) #15

Mute them, or just toggle your chat off. I’m sure there’s a way to do that. Chat is useless in pubs anyway.

Thats a shame, trolls should be banished from any game.

(FastForward) #17

Devs are trying to make this game less and less skill based overtime so newbie players don’t get rekt soo bad. That’s why more and more random deaths from explosives, mines, random artillery, and lasers from space, shotguns, etc all keep getting added,. so even if a player sucks they can get a random kill occasionally.1

Gonna close this. I think everything that can be said in regards to the original topic, has been said. If you want to discuss other topics, such as merc, please use the correct section of the forums! :slight_smile:
