So sad to see you fading away Dirty Bomb. Maybe you should have listened to the majority of your players instead of the hard core few. Steam Stats

2,347 3,524 Dirty Bomb

At least you ALMOST beat Time Clickers and dying light.

Pre - Phantom, I loved your game and sung its praises across the internet.

The sad part is, even if they revert stupid changes like not letting friends play together in objective, a lot of those players probably won’t come back.

Oh look, I’ve never seen these type of threads before! Can’t wait for the immerse discussion!

Oh you’re one of those that thinks Phantom is destroying the game. Good to know.

The devs are already starting to listen to the community. See what happened with that reddit thread about untransparency (yeah I know that’s not a word)? They have the incentive to change and to make the game better. Why you hatin’ with your self-righteous ‘I loved u before u did this bby’ speech?

Especially considering it’s in beta.

Couldn’t possibly be that some players got bored with the lack of maps due to the whole beta thing. Nah that’s just silly talk. I’m sure all those players are gone forever and none will ever come back when significant content is added.

games have there highs an lows but as long as this game keeps adding content an works on fixes im sure they will be around a long time ive only been playing this game close to 2 weeks an i find it very unique to others i like the arcade look to it over the more realistic look like cod :smiley:

It’s not that bad. I’ve seen worst f2p and AAA titles. They occasionally do stupid stuff but their willing to workaround their problems. Their mods and community manager are also of great help.

I’m also irate on certain things like you. They took away my low ping server I made a post so did a few others and bam it’s back. I again thank you for that.

Matchmaking/Friends party is something that I’m not happy about. Last stream they said they were working on a party mode. Matchmaking will need improvements. There are workaround solutions to these problems and I’m not having an issue.

This company in my books is doing a solid job. There are many other companies which are far worst but I won’t let Splash Damage off the hook easily when they mess up. You have QA use it. What do you pay people in the QA for? Also you have roll out stages use certain servers to test before a roll out.

Overall the game is healthy and I truly enjoy it. Don’t worry about the doomsayers for now it’s still ok. I do agree please put a few maps in though. You can’t keep going on with 5 maps.

Also another game mode other than execution would be welcome. No not TDM maybe something new only knifing mode, only Fletcher mode something unique to Dirty Bomb. I bet you could cook up something. Try something no one has it could just be a fun mode where people just go in to have fun. Don’t just look at it competitively. Maybe it could work in competitive who knows if you don’t try.

You want suggestions ask the community these geniuses will cook something up :wink:

Yes because the hard core players really wanted a stealth class…

I’m sorry to say this but the phantom was too powerful before. They did go and nerf him way too hard.

Yes I want a stealth class that works. I’m hoping they improve him so we can all be Ninja’s :smiley:


(Eddiethc) #14

i must say being new here half the time im getting kicked from the game lol but the admins an moderators are the best ive seen in a long time in any game there fast to respond specially missmurder shes right on it when you ask for help:)


(Enzo) #15

One of the reasons I haven’t quit. Other reason is they listen to players only problem it takes really long to implement said changes. Some changes are easy and it’s a struggle for them. Slowly but surely they’re working on snail mode with what I saw Faraleth post on the latest dev stream. So well done.

He was only good for stomping bads. He would have never replaced Fragger, either of the 2 medics, the engineer or fire support in high level play.

That’s the the issue. There are a lot of pub players then competitive. I’m not sure what the workaround for him is because stealth in pub play is very very strong because people in those games are oblivious. Do we ignore their cries and they leave the game or cater to the hardcore base.

I know they should build him to be viable in competitive but that means the pubs are going to be infested by stealth cries. Tricky little character. As I said roll out fixes in a small server base and test is your best bet.

Delete that post please mods I messed up sigh!

(MarsRover) #19

Could all you doomsayers at least make up your mind what’s the cause? One day it’s catering to casuals at the cost of the hardcore, the next day it’s the other way around :confused:

It’s not going to be black and white because of the gray area. Got to find the right balance :smile:
