Is Time Being Wasted In-Game?

(Dr_Plantboss) #1

I feel like there is too much time between matches. It takes about 1:10 between matches, which is good in some ways because it gives people time to change mercs, vote for maps, and join. On the other hand, it’s really annoying when you were in the lobby beforehand, and don’t want to change your mercs.

The menu is about as fast as a retarded sloth*. It takes about a second and a half for a button press to register, and sometimes it even makes the “click” sound without actually doing anything.

We should disable (or at least have an option to disable) the pre-round cinematic. Just load the people in during that picture panel, and let us join earlier.

The mouse sensitivity system has been recently changed because someone at SD decided that “Well, some people are doing really well at this game, and some are doing terrible… let’s f*** 'em all!” I know that some people aren’t affected, and some even benefited, but I know some are really suffering, and considering I have never seen anyone diss the mouse sensitivity in this game before, I feel that it was unfounded.

The mouse limiter was necessary to prevent Phantoms from having 360 degree 106 damage stabs, but I think that there are better ways to fix this issue that making the mouse movement sluggish. I wish that it was crisp, like in literally every other game I play…

TL;DR:

Too much time between matches, and the menu and mouse are too sluggish.

All right, rage in my face, just play nice.

Tbh yea I agree, it’d be nice if we could shorten things a little

I like the time between matches. It gives me a minute to pee, get a drink, etc.
It can also result in some fun discussions.

It would be nice to skip the cinematics though. Maybe even have the option to run around like those pre-game matches while you wait for everyone’s game to load.

That

is an amazing idea.

My question is: why is this not already a thing?

Would like to see a mode where maps are conected to another map. So as soon as one map finishes it opens the link to the next map and twoards. No loby just nonstop action with a hefty pay out for those who stay start to finish as it would be a long match. I would say you have 1-1.5 hrs to go ftomnstat to finish maximum as per map time limits are no good fornthis mode as id leave the dop in/out at will option open except for may be a ranked/tournement oution (for db nation style tournements for example) where u get punnished for leaving . Though i dont know how to deal with the imbalanced games it would cause on pub matches.

Maybe a option to disable the starting intro to each map? so new people can learn but others that know every map can just run around (More fun then watching the same 5 Map intros “Dome Doesn’t count”)

In any other game, sure. But for a game that crashes constantly for a lot of people? Please no. Not unless we get our payout after each match.

The only thing I want is for players to STAY muted between matches. Tired of chatting trolls and toxic players waiting until the lobby to badmouth you.

Your forgetting the complaints during the match by idiots with mics

(Dr_Plantboss) #12

If you read the whole thing, you’de see this

You should work on your thread title , it’s pretty vague , at first I thought it’s yet another rage tread about the slow development

(rhythmGecko) #14

Honestly you just need to move the time from 1:10 to 40 seconds. I think that is a good in between. As well as you should probably consider having it so that when you join the game. It loads you right into the game without wait and your able to change your mercs in game. So basically no lobby and making the maps random so that people don’t get stuck on chapel every single game. Its just an idea feel free to give feedback i think this could be an ok idea.

I wish there was more time at the end of a match to review match stats and badges. Would be nice if the time between matches was also reduced.

(GatoCommodore) #16

people ranting about how short the time between matches to change mercs and vote maps.

then people rant about how long it is the time between matches.

it just baffles me that people want to get bored as fast as they can

(Dr_Plantboss) #17

Duly noted.

(Indefinite) #18

All time spent playing DB is time wasted.

(Eox) #19

The time in between matches is just enough to me. I need to adapt my merc and loadout choice to any map : I need those 30 seconds in between games after the map vote.

(BananaSlug) #20

cinematic is there soo your map can load, but if you prefer standing still for 30s…
