I have noticed that there are people with strong ideas and opinions. Then there are people who like how things are now. People that liked how Dirty Bomb was in past. Some people say that new content is only way to increase playerbase, others think that because of updates, we are suffering now low population. How much new content do you want? What updates/rollbacks needs to be done?
Keep it clean. Say what needs to be done. Dont start or join any disputes.
I think the only content the game really needs comes in form of maps (for the gameplay part) and skins (for the shiny part).
The existing content should rather be reworked or improved,
About the competitive part of the game’s players, all the devs can do is offer a well balanced gameplay and possible variety in terms of strategy to avoid the “meta” thing, which will only bring a stale and boring competitive gameplay long term wise.
I am confused. What do you expect to get with that kind of poll ?
Either way, what DB needs is more maps, more maps, and even more maps. With some balance changes if possible, and maybe a removal of Phantom (but I am dreaming alive about this one). You can’t expect people to stick on DB with such a few amout of maps really, even if we doubled that amount compared to what was available at the start of steam open beta. 10 maps, that’s quite anemic. Especially if you want to compete with more popular shooters.
The point of this poll is see whether people like to have more stuff and sum what they want or dont want. Peacefully.
I think the game should have been completed when the last “original merc” came out, and every class had 4 mercs. That should have been 1.0.
I hope they’ll stop creating mercs when there are 5 for each class, but I highly doubt it.
And yes, they should focus on making more maps, a lot more, and fixing bugs. That’s all we need.
Fix cmm and return official execution/ranked servers/mode to current game undo the botched up terminal. And fix at least 90% of the glitches in the current game before adding new content sonwe can get the 1.0 release. This game will never leave beta if the keep adding more crap full of bugs.
No amount of new content is going to save the game. Release isn’t for everyone thats been playing through beta and alpha, well it sort of is, but the main focus is going to be giving db another chance in the spotlight.
So it needs to be polished, it needs to run well, and it needs to be as bug free as possible while having a good monetization system, because no one cares if you are f2p anymore when governments are looking into lootboxes
Depends what “content” you’re talking about really. This poll is pretty iffy. Maps, new objectives, gamemodes, weapon skins, etc, absolutely. But we’ve had enough mercs and weapons for a long time now imo. We already have lots of ways you can play the maps, but we don’t have enough maps to play to stop things from getting boring.
I also wish SD would stop majorly reworking maps. Things like underground are fine, but dome and terminal’s reworks that just turned them into boring generic maps were terrible. They needed tweaks, not total overhauls. Things like the forward spawn and the punishment of being forced to jump down at an awkward location if the defenders took it was a great feature, but now it’s just another generic “brute force your way through until you can plant” map.
Polishing , balancing and bug fixing should be the focus.
Apart from that I’d hope for tools that integrate the community more directly.
No more mercs in a while, more maps and new generation cards giving Javelins/Guardians weapons for other assault rifle users. And i would like to see Thunder getting Fraggers MG and the other way around
I’d rather remove content, honestly.
The game has a solid core design, and is layered with garbage that ultimately detracts from that core. Things like Turtle, Rhino, Phantom, Recons, and awful balancing decisions that we get stuck with for months on end - what was the point in calling it a beta if you never actually shook things up and messed with the game’s balance more than three times a year? It’s all stuff that will most likely never be fixed now and a lot of it was a mistake to add in the first place.
I’d have rather had 8 more maps than 8 more mercs over the past few years, given how it all played out.
On top of that? I’d rather have performance optimisation, bug fixing, and small map tweaks for a better game in the long run, not another merc that adds nothing positive to the game.
