dirty bomb imo


(copperCucumber) #1

i write this post because im frustrated from the game and when im frustrated i like to shove my feelings into other people faces
so here it is
when i first started playing this game i LOVED it,i couldnt find a single thing wrong with it
i liked the machanics the game style the fast paste of things
i saw it had a few bugs and glitched but it was worth it
i liked polaying with friends that thaught me how to play.
i even enjoyed spending 5 mins finding a server with room for me and mt friends.
now im gonna rant
keep in mind that i dont think the game is bad
i still like it but i think the devs give more attention to less important things
(like events,trinkets,even new mercs and so on)
and less time for important stuff
(like new maps,new game mods,publicity,and bugs in the game like the auras healing pad on the ground after the healing station is destroyed)
i think honestly that the devs care more for the new players than the vets like they made for new players the golden case when they get free gold aura or skyhammer
and the arsenal case
but they didnt like gave arsenal case to who that was allready lv 20 att
i think that they should have thinking more before activating the craft system and maybe ask the community before hand
imo right now it is very bad but can be made good
i didnt thaught how yet but when i do if i do ill say smt
and i think it screwes over the vets especially the ones that gave money to the game for elite cases(especially now because of the ratio of gold cobalt silver changed)
this is what i have to say for now
i know its not ez to do all the stuff i said but i think that the devs do need to listen to the community to make the game great and i dont think that because i said it you must concider it but maybe if every one will agree so maybe just sleep on it
hope to see some new changes coming soon for the better.

So are you angry because of dev priorities or because you and your friends didn’t get a pile of free stuff for leveling up?

The devs are listening to the community.

Community demanded more balanced matches -> Casual matchmaking.
Community demanded less RNG when getting loadouts -> Crafting system.
Community demanded min level 10 servers -> They exist now.
Community demanded min level 20 servers -> They exist now.
Community demanded level up rewards -> Arsenal cases.

And of course devs care about the vets as well as new players! That is why there is a PTS with a high number of vets invited to it. SD takes into account feedback from a large variety of players. Just because they don’t act on every whim doesn’t mean they aren’t listening.

Also, do you regret playing the game because you didn’t get some extra case for leveling up from 1-20+? It literally makes no difference to me because I played before because I enjoyed the game. Not because I expected a good reward and I have no feeling of entitlement to get cases for my previous levels because I played, at that time, with the expectation of playing for fun.

If you absolutely require a reward to make a game worth playing, did you really enjoy it?

i still like it but i think the devs give more attention to less important things
(like events,trinkets,even new mercs and so on)

Events and new mercs are important to a lot of players. Events are usually great at pulling in a larger playerbase and get older players to return and try the game again. Keeping the playerbase active is important. So is releasing new mercs. We haven’t seen them as often as we used to before, so I’m not sure why you think they are wasting a lot of dev time on them.

and less time for important stuff
(like new maps,new game mods,publicity,and bugs in the game like the auras healing pad on the ground after the healing station is destroyed)

New maps? They JUST released Gallery. Dockyard is still in the works, but if it looks as nice as Gallery I will be wicked impressed. New game modes… I really like the 3 we have now, although I can definitely see room for more, but I don’t think another new mode is a priority because it would likely require all new maps. I’d rather they expanded the map count for our existing modes than create a new mode with new maps just for that. Publicity? You mean releasing new mercs, events and maps? Oh wait! You said two of those aren’t important. The biggest draw you could have is the consistent release of new content or special events. Sure, they could invest in advertisting, but how much advertising do you want to do with the game in the current state? I’d rather they saved the marketing budget for release then waste it now. Bugs will always be important, the problem is assigning them a priority relative to the other things SD wants to do with the game. The problem isn’t that bugs aren’t important, but SOME impact the game MUCH LESS than others. Critical bugs needs to be fixed asap. Cosmetic bugs are less important and so on. So saying bugs in general as being important is a tough sell because some are and some aren’t.

i think honestly that the devs care more for the new players than the vets like they made for new players the golden case when they get free gold aura or skyhammer
and the arsenal case

They do care about both, but how many people do you think are new versus how many are vets? A LOT of players come through DB regularly. Increasing the retention rate is a HUGE benefit to the game. If there is a negative growth rate then very quickly we will have no playerbase. Smaller games usually spiral out of control with their playerbase problems and find it tougher to recover. Maintaining growth is a huge factor.

but they didnt like gave arsenal case to who that was allready lv 20 att
i think that they should have thinking more before activating the craft system and maybe ask the community before hand

See above.

imo right now it is very bad but can be made good
i didnt thaught how yet but when i do if i do ill say smt
and i think it screwes over the vets especially the ones that gave money to the game for elite cases(especially now because of the ratio of gold cobalt silver changed)

What ratio changed? Do you mean the temporary changes for the Classy Case Event? It will go back in 2 weeks. I don’t see how that screws anybody over unless they had bought cases within a day or 2 before the event.

I just don’t see how ‘vets’ are screwed over by any recent changes. Did you level up ONLY for the single 1,000 credit case they gave out before? Yes? Then yeah, you got screwed. NOBODY leveled up for that 1 normal case per level. You leveled up as a coincidence because you played for fun. Correct me if I am wrong and you played for some reason besides you enjoyed the game with friends/solo.

Fixed it for you

Mercs are very important. Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for Turtle?
When the game is out of beta I expect to see 40+ mercs and a new merc every 2 or 3 months
Maps are more important than anything I know, but they aren’t easy to make and take a lot of time.
But what they could do is create an event where the community has to create maps and the top 3 maps (1 execution map, 1 EV map and 1 bomb map) will be added to the game and the creators of the maps can get something nice as a reward like a “Map Maker” trinket or an obsidian card or something
Events are really nice, they are important. Small events (like the golden case right now) take almost no time to code (or at least I think, I can’t code so I can’t guarantee), the hardest part is probably drawing the case icon. They might not be really important but they are still awesome
The major bugs that actually affect the game get fixed pretty fast (usually). Aura’s health station pad staying on the ground is only a visual glitch which doesn’t do anything really, it will be fixed someday but it’s not that important.

Do you really need free items that bad? You know, they could just leave the level up rewards a normal case.
Vets don’t get screwed, they increased the drop chances but at the same time they increased the cost of higher quality cards. A cobalt now costs double than before so the vets actually got cobalts at a “quicksell” price.

The devs DO listen to the community, they do mistakes but we are all humans here. Nobody is perfect
P.S. Arsenal Crates exist only because the community asked for better level up rewards

Ever hear of the concept called spacing? It makes your posts easier to read.


(Kakutov) #16

This happens when a person who only plays video games tries to write something smart.
