HeY GuyZ…
I didnt try this game yet , because of the key …
anyway
i saw the site of this game and its nice
but i think u guys have a limited character of mercs
i want to say u can create an option to costumize our MERCs
and if u guys cant do it , add more cool characters
we dont have a cool , black (i mean black clothes) character , like we call him or her Shadow or something like this
keep up the good works
@missmurder and other developers … :wink:

It is anticipated that new mercs will constantly be annexed (and re-annexed) to the game. Just exercise a bit of patience and I’m sure a character like you specified (Shadow) is bound to come.

I said it in another topic, but one could prefer 6 very different gameplay characters than 20 characters that play quite the same. I hope they work hard on something else than just “hurr, let’s give him a shatgoon and a gan, and a katana”. Only changing weapons is random idea, even if you try to balance them differently.

instead there should be mechanism on mouvement. For example , depending on the character, you’re able to slide, dash, stay in the air for a short time, prone, climb stuff without walljump, jump farer, etc.

Next would depend on items. I think the most original item in the game so far is ammo/health station, which is not much brilliant actually. What about thermic binoclars? Remotly controlable drône (able to explode or spot ennemies on radar), chimical grenades (poisonned gaz, ground glue), infiltration cloak, a big shield (able to protect yourself and 1 team8), shield/health dome grenade, different kind of ammo (electric to temporary disable turrets, flamable to burn for a certain period of time, etc). Disposable mg’s, kevlar that forbids you to wall jump or run but gives one more health bar. Boots that allow you to airstomp of taking big leaps. An class-swap station you can put somewhere for a short period of time for your teammates to change class in live action!
There is so much more potential than just “look, this weapons is dealing 30dmg instead of 25! PURE EVIL!!”.

Don’t get me wrong, i don’t want DB to transform into some freak game that turns into carnival. If it’s done DB-style, i know it can give a way different challenge than it already does provide for more fun. i know there are people hating on such features so i’ll just leave it here in case.

Too much variation then you lose track of balance. Balance is a long drawn out fight in fps gaming online. Can we just wait and get started first?

Also, if you ever played rtcw, there are lots of comparisons to be made here, and that game is legendary and it showed that a strict rules system allowed a lot of player imagination to take over.

Finally, I find it kind of cute to be worrying about this when you haven’t even played it yet…

Thanks! Let it flow too if you got some. I just think DB must move to another level today, not just standing there with “objectives based fps hurr”. DB has potential to be a mix between TF2 and W:ET, which sounds like a (dirty)bomb to my ears!
Talking about devs, any idea how often they wander in forums (if they do it at all) or how to reach them directly? And how are they like? I never know if people here are SD staff or just players, confusing.

That’s a shame, really. Nothing generates loyalty like Devs interacting with their community.
More than anything, I hope that aspect changes - because that can quite frankly mean a lot more players being around in the future, and a lot more stable number of players, as opposed to the strategy of increasing player-count for a brief period of time by luring burnt-out players back in by adding Merc #142 every other month or so.

wink wink, nudge nudge

I just lurked in the site, but it seems no admin (SD staff on forums) did a topic in which they introduce themselves. It’s a pity.

Btw i watched videos of Brink character customisation today, and i cried a bit, regarding DB. I miss Brink overall visuals and possibilities.
Now i’m thinking about it, I’d like to see a Brink-based character in DB, in memory of the game.

silly rabbits, these are the publisher’s forums, not the developer’s forums although a dev or 2 will drop by, they’re kinda busy making the game and taking care of their own forums. It’s up to the Nexon staff to get your answers and resolve your issues, some alphas chime in with answers if we have them

Thx for letting know, got slapped on the face. Did i miss a topic with the real beta forum link (even though now i guess it’s on SD site)?

(Nail) #13

the forums at SD are Alpha forums, very limited beta access
we still have NDAs
