Some suggestions to make DB great again!

(sampark) #1

Following ideas would make DB environment better IMO

  1. Limit the number of shuffle votes per match.
    I guess we all have been there where a whole team would vote to shuffle one after another after another and so on till… you know it doesn’t pass. I do acknowledge that some servers do suffer from balance issues but this kind of behavior gets old quick
  2. Would be great if devs have some sort of ‘motorizing’ function in the game.
    This is due to AFKs(maybe shorten the time till system automatically kicks afks too?) and farming(Yup, this is still an issue!)
  3. Provide a “Safe zone” to prevent spawn kills
    Yes, I know. Just don’t spawn. But some idiotic auras want to fight 2 rhinos in the spawn… While I applaud the player for their bravery and sacrifice. A safe zone would b a wonderful to have as a… you know Safe zone…

Alternatively,

  1. Nerf Shotguns
  2. Nerf Sniper Bodyshots
  3. Nerf Bursts

Regarding your points,

  1. For Objective, the first three minutes should be for Shuffling, after that point, too much has happened to warrant a Shuffle. In Stopwatch, there should not be the option to Shuffle in the second half.
  2. I don’t even understand the statement. Shorten AFK kick time? Definitely. Temporarily ban them from the server as well, like it used to be.
  3. The core maps desperately need reworking anyway. Rather than adding safe-zones, rework the maps, ensuring that the spawns aren’t funnels, like most of them are now.

They had safe spawns back in BRINK. So it’s not like they don’t know how to do those.

Shotgun - I do agree with you in part.
Sniper body shots - Eh Not really. I guess it depends on what loadout you have for snipers
Nerf Bursts - Nah man.
My point

  1. I hate to say it but 3 mins is too long. Also there are some players shuffle to vote as soon as the game start because they have top 75lvl and the other team has 120+lvl top
  2. A. AFK part - hell yea!
    B. If monitoring was implemented, immediate bans would sets, resulting of farming exp decrease significantly.
  3. True.

In the darkest recesses of my Mind I dream of a BRINK-fied version of Dirty Bomb where Rhino can drop a Healing Station as a second ability.

Or or or or… I have a version of Proxy with an M4 and Stoker’s Molotov…but can still plant C4 with lightning speed~!

What’s the link with loadouts? The “Hit the toe and get 75hp DMG” thing is dumb. Any scrub can body shot. Low skill - high reward mechanic.

Nerf Bursts - Nah man.

Are you even playing this game? Everyone agrees on this point.

Shotguns need a tweak more than a nerf. Less DMG, higher fire rate would maybe increase skill floor.

Spawnkill is part of the Game, it was in previous Games too. Just don’t run out like headless Chicken and after being Naded 3 Times in a Row, maybe change your way to exit the Spawn.
Most of the Time players just run into the same crap each spawn, so its their fault, not the Game one.

Shuffle should be removed overall, no Point for shuffling spam, its passed, it doesn nothing, restart vote goes by, and shuffle spam continues. Shuffle has to Go.

nerf shotguns

stopped reading there…

(watsyurdeal) #11

Honestly, one really nice change would be to the scoreboard

Instead of seeing, K/D, Score

Watsyurdeal 20/10 9400

We see this, Assault XP, Support XP, Objective XP

Watsyurdeal 5000 2500 2500

This way we know exactly how certain team mates contributed to the game, I don’t need to know their total score, or their deaths, just what they brought to the team.

Smash the motha frickin Agree

(Melinder) #12

@watsyurdeal

We can already figure that information out using K/D alone.

Would’ve smashed it anyways, unfortunately double agree smash is not allowed

P.S. I am a proud medic

What’s the point of safe zones? If you are getting spawncamped, You would die as soon as You leave them. People should learn how to play medics instead of 5 snipers/naders or just learn how to aim to prevent this.

(hawkeyeguy99) #15

In regards to spawn camps, safe-zones are okay but breaks the world of DB in my opinion. It’d be better to have more maps that contain routes similar to old Dome’s first objective but not as big. The duplicity in routes instead of one big route with flanks made for a map resistant to spawncamps. No matter how many times I played an unbalanced match on Dome, it never got to the point of spawncamps, never. You would have to split your team evenly on BOTH routes to spawncamp and that would mean you’d be at a disadvantage in both routes so all the attackers have to do is all attack one route together and push through. We need more maps with options like that. It’s too easy to bottleneck people in the current map style that permeates the game.

Regarding the load-out : Concur
Nerf Bursts : I missread it as “buff”
Lol

Are you for real my man? Yea sure Spawn kill exists in any type of games but this is not the “part” of a game. Try to make a game when it’s 7 vs 3 eh?

Shuffle - I would agree that shuffle should be removed but let’s face it. Not gonna happen :frowning:

I have no problem with the current score boards… I mean you can kinda figure out all that with lil thinking.
Med at top with Death over Kills?
Obj specialist merc at top with lil K/D? Duh?

It would be nice to be that specific but It would be cool there’s an option to see the default score board and your suggested Scoreboard

Yes! Thank you!
