Let's Talk Augments?


(watsyurdeal) #21

I feel like quite a few are kinda useless, like the Pineapple Juggler one. Why not just have resistance to enemy explosives instead???

Or being able to reload while sprinting? Why is that not just a base ability considering the pace of the game? Why not just faster reload in general instead?

@smartIsland @Watsyurdeal see we tested pineapple juggler and it only really works with fragger which btw in most cases it’s gonna be a cooked frag right?
this means for a tier gold augment, it’s underwhelming.

I like both your suggestions, though faster reload or reload on the run on some mercs (especially fragger) can be very OP.

Another thing I believe should be changed, higher quality cards should offer higher quality augments as one of these:

1- Better combination of augments and guns. (where the gold cards hold the best ones)
Or
2- Better augments, as in say failsafe bronze, failsafe silver, failsafe gold which for example has 5%, 10%, 20% damage reduction from your own explosives.
Or
3- That they could add a higher quality tier where only augments exclusive to that tier exists or it has an “extra augment” or something like that, just a suggestion from the top of my head though… don’t take it all that serious. xD

ALSO PEOPLE, PLS BACK ME UP ON THROWING KNIVES </3

man there was nothing funnier than throwing some knives into a fleeing proxy, bulls-eye

not gonna happen. This is not going to be a P2W game, and what you propose would directly contribute to that.

I mean so far you cant exactly buy credits beside that which comes with merc packs and that aint exactly enough to make a shit ton of high tier cards.
I also didnt say a perk would make you op as hell, just a slight edge over a lower tier card, besides, this game is so skill based that having a ermahgerd card wouldn’t suffice when you’re playing vs someone who will insta headshot you or out play you by skill, those perks could’ve been for example pinapple juggler for bronze while damage reduction/ failsafe type for higher tiers.

and you took it seriously even though I specifically said just a suggestion. smh…

didnt you suggest this before?

people are ALREADY whining about ‘PW2 NEXON GAME’ etc. etc., just browse through negative reviews on steam. It basically can be summarized by:

  • ‘got on a server, getting owned by all those OVERPOWERED silver n gold cards’
  • 'game full of hackers, every second game has a hacker (read: player with twice the score of all the newbies - must be a hacker)
  • ‘couldn’t make the game run’ (probably XIGN shizzle)

Considering how much whine there is already, even though there is no basis for it, actually providing some basis for it - higher tier cards being more powerful than identical bronzes - would increase the whine by tenfold!


(AdmiralTeddy) #27

You made a good argument and I accept you’re right.
my only say is, we should consider a system like this, where “skill” rewards, like how the old card system worked you got better cards for better skill.
something in that line which’d improve the experience a tad bit.


(smartIsland) #28

I’m pretty sure they were really gunning for all combinations (beyond obscure/special combos as the uniques for each tier) to be available as bronze

I have to agree with @Szakalot . There are already people complaining how gold cards are P2W (even though it definitely isn’t). Because DB is still growing, SD should avoid any sort of changes or additions that may drive out potential players. Once the game is at a good state, then I wouldn’t mind slight improvements when advancing up tiers, @“Admiral Teddy” .
