Release new Mercs.

[quote=“glamorousSapling;55992”]Mercs shouldn’t be the priority right now, getting a working anti-cheat should be.

You know Splash Damage isn’t a group of 5 people which can only focus on one section of the game at a time, right?[/quote]

Believe it or not, many gamers believe this is how things works.

I feel these things aren’t mutually exclusive.[/quote]

Fair enough, but given the rate they’re addressing the problems versus pushing content, it’d be tough to believe that they’ve got their priorities straight. I’m all for an expanded cast of characters - hell, I don’t think they have enough planned as it is, but I also realize there’s a lot of other stuff they’ve gotta do. Balance, maps, bugfixes, etc. I’m just saying, maybe the playerbase shouldn’t be clamoring for more characters over things that would make the game playable. I’d rather play a stale fair game than a flashy exciting game where i’m getting aimbotted directly in the face every twenty two seconds.

yeah sure Ok, but don’t forget how quickly Brink tanked - and I know these are the same devs. SD has both a great game in their back pocket and ET and pretty much a DOA one in Brink. I like Dirty Bomb. I know that personally, I really would like it if it didn’t die within 4 months (or however ridiculously quickly) of full release.

Tbh though, i would prefer new maps over new mercs[/quote]

Yeah…as nice as new mercs would be it would be nice to see new maps too!

Redeye is always next. However, Redeye is also never next. This fact cannot be disputed or argued against.

But what if…red eye is already released and we just do not possess the sight to behold or play him? O_O

[Random_Joe]

Well the most recent mercs are
Rhino (Assault) Kira (Support) Sparks (Medic) Phantom (Recon)
So i think it is going to be Turtle. Because he is a Engineer.

He stole Phantom’s working cloak! It all makes sense now! That’s why he’s stuck using this terrible outdated ink blob cloak that makes him look like an escaping squid.

Red Eye will smoke us all so much we don’t even know he’s allready here.
Behind us.
Spying us with his Red Eye, seeing something on us that gBANG

I spy with my Red Eye… something beginning in…?

[quote=“GRUARRR;55987”]When are you going to release a new merc? I have near 50.000 credits and I would like to know If it´s better to wait a little bit to buy a new merc or to buy one now because I have time to save more credits

From what was said on stream today, it sounds like the next merc announcement/tease will be coming next week - so another 2-3 weeks until a new merc release, I’d guesstimate.

2-3 weeks eh, I like that. I’m on vacation and I can’t play DB on this craptop, so I’m glad it’s most likely not going out while I’m handicapped!

The thing is, them pushing content is just them releasing mercs that have existed in some form since alpha, the new game mode which is already done except for adding textures which is the art team, and the Dome map. These things likely have an internal schedule that was made before the game hit open beta because a steady stream of new things shows your new fans that you care about the game and are bringing new content.

The majority of players I’d dare say haven’t even seen an actual person using cheats - I’ve seen 2 in around 200 hours of gameplay. It’s very much a problem in competitive from what the forums say, but publics (where far more people play) aren’t that bad. This isn’t to say that because it isn’t hurting “most” players, do nothing about it - just that adding a new anticheat isn’t a simple thing. Rushing it through and having it not be as robust as possible will have an impact on player confidence in their ability to address it, so I’d rather wait a little longer and not have that happen overall.

All this said… [quote=“glamorousSapling;56140”]I’m just saying, maybe the playerbase shouldn’t be clamoring for more characters over things that would make the game playable.[/quote]Totally agree with this sentiment, but as ever with games and gamers - wanting new shinies is inevitable.

[Fleshpound]

In serious tone:We shall know what next merc will be in this or next week.

Putting Phantom into recon category is same as calling McDonalds quality food provider. If anything, Phantom is a melee tank.
