DEV STREAM ROUND-UP: 7TH MARCH 2016

(Amerika) #41

[quote=“rancid;156930”]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. [/quote]

I would love it. I think them adding customization options would be one of the best things to help keep people interested in this game and make better use of credits than just buying cases for RNG heavy cosmetics. Giving people options is always good in my book and keeping people playing due to them being happy and being invested is even better.

I could see SD getting DB’s features fully fleshed out and release the game from beta status. Then doing updates where they add features like this similar to how other F2P games keep interest high over time. If that is their plan then it might be a while before we get any feature like offering custom sights.

Haha that’s gaming in a nutshell.

They killed me with a weapon I do not like or use = that weapon is OP.

That gun takes no skill why do you use it = I suck with that gun myself but it seems OP when you use it.

Basically, if you’re better than me you suck and have no life, and if you’re worse than me you’re a total noob.

(N8o) #43

Are there any graphs to go with those vehicles?

(Jostabeere) #44

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. [/quote]
I mean, if guns will get sights, then I assume all guns will get sights. Only semi-automatic rifles would be contraproductive in my eyes.
I played another game for quite a long time. Guns did not have sights besides 2 SMGs, 2 rifles and sniper rifles.
The devs of this game made a big update with weapon customization, and sights became available for all gun types. And it broke the game. Semi-auto rifles and shotguns became insanely overpowered due to red-dots/1.5x/2x/4x sights. And the game has more recoil than DB.
I personally can’t imagine sights on some guns, like, already said, Dreiss or Grandeur. They could add more recoil, but this isn’t good either. They could re-design iron sights to make them easier to use though.

(doxjq) #45

I think the Grandeur and Dreiss would work well with a red dot sight. Something that doesn’t necessarily zoom but gives pin point accuracy.

But my rebuttal wasn’t towards sights in general just the “the one in the middle” comment as I personally hate the ACOG haha. I know plenty of people love it though. Each to their own hey :smiley:

(AnimeDude) #46

I don’t believe we really need any acogs or anything that gives us more zoom than we already have, just a standard red dot reflex sight so I can actually see what I’m shooting. I might suggest a hybrid sight for the grandeur but I don’t know how that’d work out, changing zooms and all. Maybe middle mouse button? No one uses quick melee so that might work.

(doxjq) #47

cough

Up until a week ago, it’s the only way I killed downed bodies XD

(SaulWolfden) #48

The GSR does not need variable zoom, it shouldn’t have any zoom period, the whole point is that it’s supposed to be different from the other snipers, it’s supposed to be the most usable Sniper is medium range (hence the lack of a sight). This is intentional as Redeye is a medium range merc.

(B_Montiel) #49

You know, the biggest problem right now with sights in db is that they are sooo badly designed.
Pretty much all weapon sights except moa and pdp have massive flaws in my eyes.
Hence pretty much everyone using third-party overlay crosshairs.

And just basic issues, like not aligned properly, too fat, weird positioning which makes the weapon take half of your screen (GSR especially)… So I don’t think adding sights like red dots/magnifying stuff would improve the situation in any way. The blishlok’s sight is what they’re capable of.

(Jan S.) #50

So newest build is in the “staging” branch according to Steamdb. So the update either comes out on Thursday, Friday or next week.

(YeOldeButtcheek) #51

Ladies and gentleman, what you’ve all been waiting for…!

car textures

(triteCherry) #52

I’m starting to expect that the new merc that will be announced is the redone version of Phantom. Except since people paid money for the first Phantom they’ll keep the first one in the game but the new one will be the same merc with a different name that you will have to purchase seperately.

(Jan S.) #53

They should rework him completely and put him instead of “current one” imo.
People who paid for “current one” would just get the new one instead, game is in Open Beta so it shouldn’t be a problem at all.

(doxjq) #54

Why would they add or remove phantom? I gathered he was staying the same as he currently is, but with a new added ability or something? Maybe I’m wrong on that one, I have no idea what plans they had, but that seemed logical to me haha.

(MilkyBear) #55

Got a maintenance today, so let’s just hope it will be next week. Or even this month.

(neverplayseriou) #56

I would also appreciate them switching my 10 euro Phantom for 10 elite cases :stuck_out_tongue:

(jollyRacer) #57

Well I care about this coming merc release and the one after. Its high time to end the arc with Turtle and Aimee, then start a new one with Javelin spearheading the list.

(Merci1ess) #58

Hopefully the next update is a big one with lots of bug fixes and improvements. Because at this rate… The game will be done in 2036 if we’re focusing on vehicle textures for a month and not much else. It’s just way too long. Before it used to be a patch every like 2 weeks or so? I mean what happened? Specially that almost every update is a massive disappointment. It’s just gonna take longer to hope for a redemption patch just to most likely get disappointed again.

(watsyurdeal) #59

Gears of War happened D:

(doxjq) #60

I want to know what exactly is changing with Aimee if she’s changing.
