free DLC - too little too late?

(Smoochy) #121

[QUOTE=PanzerIV;341425]So true, I could care less of the DLC if they don’t fix the main problems first. The heavy class is a real joke with heavy’s weapon being almost as weak as Light’s SMGs yet you have to run 6x slower so not worth it to be a heavy guy.

The operative is clearly the worst class, disguising is so useless, no backstabbing possibility like knife from behind for 1 hit kill or do 50% damage. I only use it when it’s required for the objective. The only half-decent thing it haves is the calldrops.[/QUOTE]

you must be doing something wrong then. if i play OP i often get the most kills and get the hacks too. the thing with op is you need all the good toys, you need to be level 20ish. have you not hacked turrets? taken control of your own team’s turrets? used EMPs to take out 3/4 turrets guarding an objective? comms hack so your team knows where everyone is? people need to realise that OP isnt just about disguising and getting easy OH Kills, its about helping the team and causing chaos for the enemy.

just run behind someone and then melee them, they fall on the ground and you either stomp on them or empty hot lead into them. almost always works unless they get knocked down and you get spun around. i also hear people OHKing with a shotty to the back of the head. i dont really want OHK melee as we would just see loads of Ops doing this. nobody like getting OHK in games, it feels cheap.

i do find heavy useless though. i only really play medium as i like the ARs (they regularly rip SMG users apart) maybe some people need to learn to shoot? burst fire and they die in a couple of bursts.

Good for you! You’re the happy small fraction that is hasn’t abandoned a game due to it being unplayable. DLC will only apply to those who have a working version, and I tell you what if you want ‘MORE MORE MORE’ then you’re first going to need an actual audience that will play it.

Well it’s Tuesday, June 21st… still no DLC. Sweet :confused:

(MF Maou) #124

DLC, like everything, usually isn’t up until Wednesday. Cool your jets.

(Nexolate) #125

True, but we also haven’t heard anything major yet either.

I suppose it’s still not too late for a last minute announcement though; Team Fortress 2’s just announced they’re doing a major content update on Thursday, so anything’s possible.

Technically, I would consider them telling us what the DLC will contain, a major update, but since that… or anything else IE screenshots and what not… no, your right, no major updates… :frowning:

(tokamak) #127

There go all the books I planned to read this holiday.

(Nexolate) #128

What I meant by that comment was that we hadn’t heard anything major that hints towards such a release date. All we’ve had during June is that they’re working on it.

Just an example of surprise announcements happening a few days before release, not suggesting anyone here would or should be playing that instead.

They’re being asses is what they’re doing, sucks for us really.

(dazman76) #131

They’re mostly being absent - which probably means they’re sick of reading what we’re posting (sorry SD), but I can’t help thinking it has more ominous undertones. Spotted a few of the SD gang in the online list now and then, but only badman posting, and then only for moderation etc. Locki’s last visit to the forum was 13th June. It certainly isn’t the SD forums of old - I just hope things aren’t going south at SD towers. If they are, we may have to organise some kind of armoured assault on Bethesda HQ.

(tokamak) #132

They’re not allowed to say anything. Every time they post, the post will be hidden until it’s allowed by a man behind the curtain. That’s why their posts often appear in threads that have already proceeded a good few posts or even pages.

(dazman76) #133

Yes, I remember seeing discussion of that in another thread. However, badman is posting and his posts indicate work in progress - so I doubt this is what’s keeping Locki and others from posting. It may be part of the story - but it isn’t the whole, in my opinion at least. There haven’t been many “incidental” posts either, i.e. the ones where the SD are simply joining in the conversation. Granted a high number of negative posts will curtail that somewhat, but still…

(zenstar) #134

If they’re particularly busy (hopefully doing something like polishing up some dlc) then they may not read the forums regularly. They may just have an appointed forum person (badman), who should have particularly thick skin, to read the forums and ask the relevant questions internally and post responses. There’s no point having everyone taking hours out of their day to keep up to date on the forums if they can’t afford the time.
And I must say I feel sorry for SD sometimes with some of the raging, QQ and downright slander that gets thrown their way sometimes. Badman probably has a bottle of Jack next to his monitor at all times. For “medicinal” purposes of course :smiley:

Not saying I wouldn’t like to hear more from them on the forums, but I’m not bashing them for not being talkative either (plus you know: contracts with Bethesda).

I’ve frequented far quieter forums before. All in all SD’s forums are quite nice (esp now that the raging has calmed down).

(Novalis) #135

Why should they waste time entertaining people on a forum if they have work to do?
After all it is the same blablabla on the forums for weeks now.
It has all been said, if 110% sure about the date they will make an announcement.
Obviously there is no date yet.

(tokamak) #136

A non-disclosure agreement can do that.

(xTriXxy) #137

i think they only mark topics. Do you realy think what you wrote can be true?

(Mustang) #138

That’s how it works, we waits until the post gets approved

(wolfnemesis75) #139

We need to break into the SD terminal with a good Operative and hack the release date out of the receptionist at the front desk… they always seem to know everyone’s business, lol.
