Lack Of Reward For Progression

(Szakalot) #21

[quote=“Nail;c-225898”]nope, doesn’t make the game last longer or be better, just satisfies tiny minds that need an attaboy every 2 minutes to feel their life has meaning, W:ET, RTCW had no shinies, still going. Yes I know all sorts of games have them, don’t make it right, lots of people like One Direction, don’t make them good

It does though, times have changed and current generation of gamers have been hooked-up on progression systems in their games. Games without progression systems will feel to them like a waste-of-time.

It was nice but times have changed. It’d be like complaining that food is so sweet now, compared to times when sugar was not available at all. People got used to it, it is sweet now and its not going away.

Are we more likely to get cosmetics or community servers though?

(MarsRover) #23

And how much revenue are they providing to the developers?

(Nail) #24

fair bit in legacy, initial developers were id Software. They’re doin’ OK

[quote=“GatoCommodore;c-225606”][quote=“TepidJesus;d-36213”]As I have progressed through the ranks of Dirty Bomb I have enjoyed every minute of it (Except 2016, those were some dark times). However, as I have progressed I have noticed that apart from a, lets be honest pretty average arsenal crate whenever we level up, there is no direct reward for actually progressing through the game (Sure you get better loadouts, but levelling up doesn’t help you with that). The only thing that I can think of that could be a feasible reward for progressing might be an Expert (or maybe elite case, probably not) or we might get to choose between an Expert case, Credits or Fragments.

Another idea I had might be as we level up to allow more DB profile customisation or maybe allow longer clan tags the higher you level. (These ideas are very loose)

This is just an idea, but I would like to hear others as I am pretty stuck on the situation.[/quote]

give better Optics/accessories the higher you level up

e.g. all optics will be unlocked within the first 20 levels
maybe something like this for M4

and the rest is cosmetics

also, you might wanna play for fun, not progression.
if you apply play for progression youre playing the wrong game man.[/quote]

This isn’t cod. If any of these things ever get added, then you should be able to buy them for credits (since credits have a very limited use right now). But even then I doubt it will happen and I’m sure there can be better things that SD can do about credits

We want to completely overhaul the progression system, however, just like it sounds, it’s a big job and requires a lot of investment from a lot of different areas. Yet another reason why we’re hiring for so many positions :slight_smile:

Want and going to are two different things. Thanks though for letting us know that you do care about what some players desire.

It’s really weird how customization in FPS games is through the roof these days whereas customization in racing games is lacking… I mean, you can’t even see your character in a FPS game! I miss the customization options offered in games from the PS2 era. A lot of them let you freely change up your character. For a while there, games stopped letting you customize your characters, but over the past few years, it has definitely started up again and became the norm.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but although I love playing the game for its gameplay, I love getting creative or changing up my appearance. I guess this has some role-playing aspect to it, like wanting to deck out Kira in a samurai costume! :wink:

As a community, I reckon we should give SD it’s breathing space. It’s not really helpful if we keep on asking for competing priorities while they’re doing a balancing act. They’re still in the process of getting talents for the project so please, ease off that throttle stick and learn to cruise.

Me and Spike (according to Nail) are finding things that can improve platform experience.

way to go Chester, that’s a positive post

(K1X455) #33

Got anything else to contribute besides trolling?

(Nail) #34

you mention me by name and expect me not to respond ?

how rude

(GatoCommodore) #35

i thought hes gonna ask about DPC stacking again

(Xenithos) #36

We all did.

(K1X455) #37

Why be conscious when you get mentioned in the post? Got scything remarks to say?

Yeah, we’re still at it; 2 players down, 1 Player leaving, 1 player POed, 1 player to go.

Want to know what we’re up to?

(Nail) #38

“conscious” do you mean aware of one’s own existence, sensations, thoughts, surroundings, etc.

it’s the way I am during waking hours, you may need a better translator, your grasp of English is lacking

edit: while scything is cool, I think the word you were looking for is scathing

(SnakekillerX) #39

Feel like this thread has run its course.

(Nail) #40

it was over when shoe posted but then I was triggered, I tried to be nice to Chester but he and Spike don’t seem to like me, then I tried an English lesson. I do upvote Chester though, not flag
