Some problems I have with Dirty Bomb

(lobsta) #1

Here’s some things that you guys should fix.

First, the kills aren’t satisfying at all. Unlike Counter-Strike and Battlefield, when you kill someone in this game you don’t feel good or have a sense of accomplishment. This is due to the lack of blood that comes out of the character while your shooting him and how when you kill them you don’t get the awesome ragdoll physics of the character once he dies. Counter-Strike does it with blood and ragdoll physics. In this game when you shoot someone no blood comes out and they fall and start wobbling around on the around. You guys should make the system from Battlefield where there’s just a icon above the ragdoll indicating that they can be revived.

DONT DO TIMED BUYS!!!
I saw the mercs have clocks on them which means that I only get them for a short amount of time which SUCKS. DON’T NEXON THIS UP. PLEASE! I was hoping that Nexon wouldn’t ruin this game, but I’m already seeing signs of them in the game. When I get a merc I want it forever, not for a week or 3 days. Please, please, please, don’t Nexon this up.

Also, the British accents on all the characters makes the game feel stupid and childish. At least add 1 Russian, Asian, American, or German character to add diversity. All the characters feel the same.

Also, I think you guys should make the maps a little more defender friendly. Except for this one map I can’t put my finger on at the very end of the match where you have to deliver the canisters to the pick up place and your so exposed when doing so. The map starting in a train area. Trainyard I think. The rest of the maps are offensive sided I think. I haven’t played enough of Dome to say.

in DB bodies are still relevant to the gameplay, i.e. characters can be revived. So not a lot of ragdoll physics can be allowed, without breaking the game.

You got it wrong. Once you ‘buy’ a merc they will be yours forever. Regardless, SD implemented rotations of free mercs, so in time, you can try each of the mercs in the game, without having to pay for them first.

Also, the British accents on all the characters makes the game feel stupid and childish. At least add 1 Russian, Asian, American, or German character to add diversity. All the characters feel the same.

British accents make the game feel childish? Honestly, i dont know what to say.

Agree that more mercs, and more accents are welcome. I think you will renounce that last sentence, once you get to play with all the other mercs available. Currently you have 7, the present number is round 20, and it will surely increase in time.

gods no! maps have to be attacker friendly for the game’s most prized game mode - stopwatch - to work.

I agree objective maps can be little more defense sided, but on a objective-by-objective basis.

I was thinking the same thing about kills not be satisfying. I went into my sound options and enabled headshot sounds (what ever it’s called). Made me feel like I was playing ET again, and gives me great satisfaction when I get a double or triple with all headshots.

About maps not being defender friendly, you have to understand that there’s not a lot of players so balance is all over the place. Once we get more experienced players, then we can get some good matches going. At the moment, it seems like it’s always one sided.

I’ve played as all the mercs in prevous beta sessions. You can still have the bodies involved after they’ve died, just put a icon above them instead having them unrealistically wobble around on the ground. If I were shot in battle I would play dead until they left. You guys need to fix how kills aren’t satisfying. It’s not real hard. In Battlefield when you kill someone a ragdoll falls and to the other side there’s a revive icon above there body. You should do that instead of having the derpy dead player wobble thing.

I actually found it quite satisfying to finish those wobbly mercs off with a cricket bat.

I haven’t seen or tried the headshot sound option but DB could stand to have at least an audible that lets me know that I downed someone. the first thing that comes to mind is the little tink sound from Resistance:fall of man for PS3. I loved that sound. it’s not visceral in any sense of the word but man was it satisfying and iconic.

I killed an enemy and his head slowly went into his body like a turtle going into his shell. Also the kills are pretty satisfying at least to me.

turn on hitsounds, you be happy

You seriously get off on the blood and ragdoll lmao? It seems solid to me when you dome some dude running at 20mph in this game

Thanks for the feedback all. We DO have a lot of other mercs on the sidelines right now. One of which is very German and very…explosive.

I imagine at… some sort of full release, there are bound to be a larger variety of cultures involved, but the current accents make sense due to the super obvious location this takes place in.

Blood and physics in CS were comical at best. ‘Satisfying’ is subjective, as I certainly didn’t feel that way in any version of CS. Ragdoll physics in Quake and Unreal games? Definitely hilarious, and intentionally so, but the maps and weapons aren’t quite the same as this.

I too am really hoping for there to be absolutely no time limited ownership of anything in this game. Gun rental systems are the bane of the F2P world.

(Nail) #12

rentals of any sort are poo

Firstly, There are several accents in the game the current free mercs just all happen to be British. British accents are not childish, the game is set in london, don’t be such a tosser.

I always release a big sigh when someone compares to games like cs and bf. Kind of makes you hard to take seriously. Those are good games on its own, but not at all comparable tobdirty bomb

But anyway, kills are not rewarding because you want to see lots of blood and a cool animation when someone gets downed? Go in options menu and enable hit sounds + blood. Tbh I played csgo and downing someone wasnt at all rewarding for me. Ever. I just asked myself why I was wasting my time behind a computer. Dirty Bomb on the other hand… Hit sounds are highly rewarding tinktinktinktink and then being able to gib them is just awesome. Maybe I am too oldschool but cod, bf, csgo… It doesnt make me happy…

I agree with the accents. But you did not know that there are many other mercs which were not in the latest beta test.

The mercs you buy are yours forever. F o r e v e r. The clock is the indication for the rotation system. All the mercs are put thrue a weekly rotation so you don’t need to buy a merc to try it out. Renting sucks idd!

SW mode needs to be attacker friendly. It should only be “how long are we able to keep them off” and “how long does it take for us the eventualy take the obj”

The ragdolls in BF4 are fucking terrible! Someone dies in some stairs, good luck reviving them, they sure as hell aren’t gonna be where the icon is, so it’s just a wild guess to where you should aim your paddles, terrible!
