Is the Idea of custom loadouts off the table? My suggestions is Make the base card 50k with only the primary weapon, secondary, melee and perks could cost 20k each. Some might say it’s pay to win though. What are your thoughts Dirty Bomb players?
Custom Loadouts
Hmmnjaaaagrrblllllnnnggg…#
I think this would go against how this game is designed to be. As far as I know, it is a mix between a MOBA-like character-loadout-system in shooter-form.
With custom loadouts this would be almost like many 0815-shooters inventory-wise.
Also, soon after a release of custom-cards, there would be only 1-3 loaoduts per class seen as the best and that would be a very very strong centralization.
IMHO, it’s balanced fine.
There are cards with good weapons and okay-ish augments.
Then there are cards with good augments, but okay-ish weapons.
Like 3 cool augments, but with the Blishlok.
Or the Kek, Crotzni or SMG-9-thingy with okay-ish augments.
With the current system you have to lay you focus and decide to have the advantage in weapons, but you’re not the best augment-wise.
Or have very nice augments, but carrying a “worse” weapon.
With custom loadout cards, there would be no real decisions left, just “throw the best stuff in and have fun”.
that’s like if you would be able to carry a Minigun, Revolver, Pistol, Shotgun, AssaultRifle, LMG and Sniper rifle in DayZ to be armed for every encounter…
TL;DR: Custom loaoduts would go against the game’s theory and would make things very, very, I repeat, very one-linear.
