Should Dirty Bomb have customizable optics to put on your weapons?

(Corppet) #1

I find the sights for some of the weapons are quite garbage and hard to you, and I’m 100% sure some of you do too. Personally, I feel that some sights cover up the important part of the screen. The center, so aiming while ADSing is hard for me. But I don’t know if I’m just too sensitive or if other people have the same problems as well, so I’ve decided to put up a poll to see what other people think.

It’s been suggested many times and nobody official has even so much as acknowledged the idea. I’m not getting my hopes up but I’d be real happy if it happened.

Actually, this is not entirely correct :slight_smile: I can’t remember which dev it was but not long ago he was asking about what people thought about putting dot sights on the Dreiss and Grandeur IIRC. This was on the SD forums. However, I don’t know if this means they would simply replace the sights or start giving us personalized choices (like what the game used to have) for things like that.

Exactly. Did (s)he mean replacing the sight, or did (s)he mean giving us customisation? It’s certainly not a clear subject to say the least. Perhaps @RazielWarmonic can give us some info on the situation of these sorts of proposals?

I don’t want it. It’s in every game. You name it Battlefield, Arma, CoD etc.

I kinda like that Dirty Bomb is not overwhelming us with dozens of guns, pistols, gadgets, attachments, scopes and so forth.

When I first started playing the game I disliked not being able to put optics of my own preference on the guns. After 100+ hours into the game though I think customizable optics would unbalance the game.

Only if there can be only one type of optic for each specific gun. It should be an option either way that way people aren’t forced to use an optic if they don’t want one or aren’t forced to use iron sights if they don’t like them.

yes, and no, because i dont want to be sniped by crotzini across the entire map

Damage falloff from distance makes SMGs pretty useless across the map.

Who said that optics have to affect your zoom?

(Occult) #11

who right clicks anyway, no point really

Sniper rifles would benefit from custom crosshairs, not sure about other guns since hipfire is almost always better option. Although it could be nice to have some clean holo x1.2, seeing how devs are struggling to fix bloody blishlok reticle, it doesn’t seem likely.

Invisible guns or riot.

(Sharpish101) #14

Nothing to do with thinking it would imbalance anything, I just enjoy using iron sights on guns without having to contend with the fact that I’m pointlessly hurting my accuracy for it. It’s good that some guns have to use irons, it makes them feel more unique.

Plus, seriously, most of the guns without sights have absolutely fine sights for the ranges you might need them, and most of the time you don’t even need to ADS.

This game doesn’t seem like the kind of game with custom attachments to me.

Oddly enough it used to be back in alpha.

I think that was Shoe… Not entirely sure, but I remember seeing him post on the forum or talk about it on a Dev stream or something.

I would love to see some customizable optics. Make spread for weapons a flat increase for every single optic so the difference between irons, reflex, and marksman sights is 100% visual.

Nah, it was a game dev (shoe is a CM). I just don’t remember which one and I didn’t bother to go search for it.

I don’t agree with the latter part of the answer I chose, but I personally don’t want customisable optics.

I would rather the bad ones (noteably, the Dreiss and Grandeur) improved for usability. Something like a red-dot sight would be awesome on them, and make them faaaaar better. Other guns like the AR’s and SMG’s are fine as they are :smiley: Iron-sights and scopes are catered to the ranges the guns are supposed to be used at.
