Contracts:
- The devs are aware that a lot of players are concerned about contracts, however, instead of isolating the changes, we should look at the big picture instead and take all of the changes into account. Note that it’s not out of the question for them to be adjusted - If the devs notice that we don’t earn as many credits as we should changes will be applied. The initial values for such implementations are never set too high to avoid having to disappoint players by taking stuff away from them.
Levels:
- Levels are no longer publicly visible. They made players think the balancing was unfair (although it was fine) just because of a high number shown on the scoreboard. At the moment it’s still possible to view the level of an enemy player when you die to them, this issue is known and will be fixed.
- It’s intended that you weren’t given any additional advancement crates with this update. The goodies you receive is the same amount as previously, just spread out more.
Bans:
There are two ways you can be banned from DB:
-
Bans enforced by EAC due to cheating - these will not be removed under any circumstance unless it’s a false positive. If you have been banned by EAC and you are under the impression that it’s been wrongly issued, contact EAC support.
-
Bans enforced by SD due to toxicity and bad behaviour - these can be removed if the user in question changes to the better and becomes a positive part of the community over an extended period of time. An example being Ozzie, an individual whose behaviour ended up getting his account banned. However, in recent times he has been performing incredibly well, you could see him on the forums, twitch and reddit answering questions and apologising to those that were affected by his past behaviour the most. Yesterday he was unbanned.
Here’s a forum post SD put live talking about the process: Ban Appeal Process
