Who thought three seater trucks was a good idea? They look silly.

“Engine Limitations”

Please use another engine for Dirty Bomb 2. UE3 just ain’t all that good.

Also who’s Electricsheep? What’s he/she do?

(bontsa) #24

@Faraleth Thanks for another round-up! I was missing these, infact so much that I even had draft for “Where did dem roundups goe?!” thread.

Lets just never talk about it again.

[quote=“gloomyRequirement;156686”]Incredibly update, just what I had been waiting for. Can you update us once you finished the textures for the tires?

On an irrelevant sidenote what about:
->Phantom being weak af
->FEL-IX still being vastly inferior to the MOA
->Aura’s healing station glitching
->Autobalance in pubs still not being a thing
->Any of the suggestions regarding cosmetic items
->Plenty more things pointed out here on the forums[/quote]

May I add:

->Carryable objective still in hands when dropped
->Throwing mines takes longer
->Missions not refreshing after cooldown
->AUS/ASIA servers disappearance
->Trade-Ins with same loadouts as merc (as a reminder: it was a feature, then fixed (lol) then shoe said it was implemented too soon). Can we still expect it or do we have to wait until DB is out of beta? (trololol).

I understand that devs are focusing their attention on other tasks that are more logistical rather than obvious functions. I understand the importance of getting the bare foundation right as those logistics will be the backbone for what can be a long running game.

But I have to be honest, and most ppl probably won’t agree with me, but here is what I have been feeling. The game is getting dull. There really isn’t anything new to do, just constant “fixes” which end up being fixed again in a few weeks. I understand, yes the game is in beta and yes, it is a fps so you shouldn’t be expecting much variety and yes “events” are just more exp,credits or skins and those aren’t necessary to have fun, but thats just what I have been feeling. Just wanted to share.

(Runeforce) #27

Nope. The two are not fiscally related. GoW was a commisioned project, so they got paid for that long ago.

(MilkyBear) #28

I guess we will get our hands on new merc around first of April lol.

(ZeSpecter) #29

At this rate, I’m just hoping we’ll get a new merc before next year

(watsyurdeal) #30

My only question is when are we getting some sights for the Dreiss and Grandeur?

Like seriously, copy these and put em on

The third sight is the only sight that would work on the GSR. Still shows of the unique sights while offering a better view on target.

Boy they would be so OP with such sights. Especially the middle one.

#34

Mhmm…I’ll just assume the moment bullets were fired the screen shaked in the first two pics.
Otherwise the sights look misaligned. :smiley:

(doxjq) #35

Eh not necessarily. Back in my COD days the ACOG sight was the worst one around. Couldn’t aim at all with it. I would avoid it like the plague personally haha.

Also re: sights in general. Pretty sure on one of their streams last year they said they were never going to implement sights to this game. I literally have no idea why and can’t think of a single reason they shouldn’t.

It’s not a game changer, it’s not a total advantage. It’s simply customization and preference, something everyone likes and can benefit from. @Faraleth do you remember this stream and if so do you remember what reason they gave for never implementing sights? You personal opinion on the matter I would like to hear aswell, as you seem pretty down to earth on such things.

They have mentioned a few times on the Warchest forums that they were thinking about adding laser sights to some guns. IIRC it was Smooth (one of the game designers) and it was within the last 6 months I believe. It wasn’t a declaration of, “we’re doing this”. Just more of a post saying they are thinking about it.

I can’t think of a reason why they wouldn’t other than they are most likely understaffed and are stretching resources for art and dev work thin as it is. Which might be the case.

(doxjq) #37

That’s interesting. I’ve quite honestly only ever watched one stream (I usually just read Faraleths notes) but I swear I remember them saying they had no intention of ever bringing in sights to the game. Unless they meant custom sights that you can attach to your gun, but that is actually more what I was meaning to say any way. That is what I and many others would like to see. Heck it would even give us something to spend out in game credits on.

(Amerika) #38

Smooth was talking about simply changing the sites. Not allowing you an option to change them. So yeah, it definitely is a different situation with that context.

(doxjq) #39

What’s your personal take on custom sights then @Amerika? Just curious is all. I honestly can’t think of a reason they wouldn’t implement such a thing?

We need something we can spend credits on hey. Have so many friends who own everything and have 400k+ creds haha.

I blame the loadout card system. it leaves way too little space for customization, once you have your cards the most fun you can have is to get other skins which simply isn’t enough. Letting people create their own builds, trying out new things is what makes you stay for the long haul. The nerfs and buffs is a neverending spiral since people will never be happy anyway, they hate what for the moment kills them. I have been called timik noob, stiletto noob, healing station noob, grandeur noob you name it.
