Quite a few recent posts from Smooth and other devs here and here. Not really any new info to speak of but still a worth while read.
I would like to know if SD has anything planned for DB at the moment. The game was not ready for 1.0 as many bug fixes and planned features are still nowhere to be seen. Some of these were even teased for after release. If they are only planning to keep servers running with the current state of the game I think that is a massive shame. It’s also very disheartening to hear this is what we should expect from mods on official forum without any comment from SD.
It’s also very sad that Shoe received no goodbye post or even mention from SD. I cannot believe they allowed this to happen and still haven’t said anything more than they are looking to hire a new community manager
This has been my go-to shooter since the tail end of closed beta and I still have matches that keep me coming back. The community as a whole has accepted poor communication throughout development but there was also an expectation that major bugs and server performance would be improved for 1.0. I had many conversations with Shoe, previous mods, and tech support that made me believe the game would not release in a still semi-broken state. Unfortunately this is exactly what has happened and i really hope there are plans to continue to actually support the game. Maps would be great and cosmetics if team has time but the core experience is still a ways off and that is what I think a lot of us still care about.
Thank you @Smooth for responding here and on Reddit. We get that it’s nearly impossible to respond to so much negative feedback (sorry for what i have added here) but communication is a big part of the issue as well. Honestly any response is positive at this point, especially after such a long radio silence and a troubled 1.0 release.
