[SURVEY] Containment War Update - Initial Response

(Faraleth) #1

So the Containment War Update has finally arrived, but what is YOUR opinion on it? Pretty much all new features and significant changes should be covered in this survey, so let’s get the community’s response and see what we like, and what we don’t.

This survey should take no longer than 5-10 minutes maximum to complete!

Link to the survey: http://goo.gl/forms/j8VXAUbo1m

Sadly you will have to log into a Google account in order to complete this survey, although I figured it wouldn’t be too much of a problem, because I imagine a lot of people have an account already. This is done to help prevent people completing the survey multiple times and throwing the data off. - There is no point looking at inaccurate data!

Like the last community survey I took, the results will be forwarded to both Nexon and Splash Damage - so we can have our voices heard! This survey will be posted on both the official forums and the subreddit, but feel free to send it to your friends to complete if they play Dirty Bomb, after all, the more the merrier!

I hope you all find this to be helpful in getting our opinions directly to the developers!

Please note: Your responses can also be changed at any time until the time I see fit to close the survey (no static date, likely when responses slow down). So, if you feel you made a mistake and want to come back and change it later, feel free to do so! :slight_smile:

@Faraleth please fix answer questions, for example the first one. many same options

(brennanfreak) #4

There’s a typo on the first question as there’s 2 answers saying he’s significantly OP

I think it’s funny seeing people vote that the trade up from gold to cobalt cost should be reduced from 6 to 3, just because they want easier cobalt, like, come on people, it’s not going to happen.

@chicHouse @ValkyrieHunter32 Thank you! It’s been fixed/updated. :slight_smile:

I’ve seen people say that Dome is very large, not sure if that is a good or bad thing.

(1AGRESSOR) #8

if they optimize a game it’s gonna be a very good thing

(PeneTraitor) #9

Would be cool to have an additional comments section.

(BananaSlug) #10

could we see the results later ?

(DMaster2) #11

Nice to be able to voice my opinion. The only thing i disliked about this update is Execution, a really terrible game mode that only serve for 500 credits bonus for me. I do hope devs will work on a new game mode soon, possibly domination.

(FireWorks) #12

a bit too early for all this?

(Faraleth) #13

@FireWorks it’s an “initial response” survey. ^.^ I know what you mean, but the context of the survey is an initial response, not in-depth tester survey. :3

(1AGRESSOR) #14

this ^^^ however i would like those two maps in obj and exe

(Eox) #15

I answered the survey.

Basically there wasn’t a lot of thing I did really cared about that update. I just wanted Dome, because we do REALLY need new maps. The balance changes did not felt too ugly, but the Kira changes are pretty bad. A lot of people are against the burst fire guns changes, but I don’t feel like they are unplayable. I think they still have their place.

I rated this update “average” mainly due to a very annoying change that happened with every “grenade” abilities right now : you throw the grenades much, much slower than usual due to a very annoying delay between the throw and the launch (where a throwing animation will be played). So you end with something like a 0.5 seconds delay between the time you click and the time you actually throw the grenade. This hits Fletcher extremely badly : direct hits with stickies are much, much, much harder than before. As far as I know such a change was not shown in the patch note. I do hope it’s a bug and it’ll be fixed ASAP.

Done

Also is unfair, usually 1 team stomps the other for been the CDA, they just have to camp A or the bomb so anyone take it and wait until the timer runs out

(N8o) #18

Took it and I am glad that you guys are actually listening to the community. It makes me feel heard and like I have an impact on this game.

(Mister__Wiggles) #19

Most people seem to share the same opinion as me on most things which is always relaxing to see. Dome however I disagree with most people, I feel the map is way to big and at the start the 2 main access areas are death traps and a complete cluster fuck. Given the testing and the time they took to finish it off I was expecting a better flowing map but sadly it just isn’t. Im sure it will be tweaked in the next few update though.

Just for shit and giggles
[spoiler]
Q: What is your general opinion on Stoker?
A: He is perfectly balanced - Well, that’s my impression after playing him for 2h+

Q: What is your general opinion of the new map, Dome?
A: I don’t know/care - Played only 2 times… first time attacking team didn’t get through the first obj and second time we just stomped over the defending team.

Q: What is your general opinion of the new game-mode, Execution?
A: It is average - It’s not bad but it’s not superb either.

Q: Which is your favourite Execution map?
A: Market - idk, just like it more.

Q: How do you feel about the way in which the update was teased/promoted, compared to past updates?
A: It was alright/average - I didn’t really care that much.

Q: How do you feel about the AMOUNT of content shown off/revealed prior to the update coming out?
A: They should have shown EVERYTHING - Just so we get to disappointed about these “brilliant” nerf bombs nobody asked for. Otherwise it would be nice to know less.

Q: What did you think of the special “community LAN” stream hosted by Shoe, prior to the update?
A: I didn’t watch it - nuff said.

Q: What is your general feeling on the Containment War giveaway promotion?
A: It was alright - In general it was really nice but the problem is that defib and healing pulse charge refuses to release half of the time aaannnddd neither was fixed.

Q: Would you like to see more promotions like the Obsidian card giveaway in the future?
A: Yes, but make the Obsidian available to everyone - yups.

Q: What do you think about the 0.3% chance of obtaining the rare Containment War skins from the Containment War EQUIPMENT cases?
A: Chance to obtain them should be quite a lot higher. (eg. 5%-8%) - 0.3% is ridiculous. 0.1% for Cobalt is okay since they are there to stay. Got 270h+ atm and I’ve got only 1 gold card from regular cases (0.4%)… yeah, sure, I’m gonna get exactly 0 CW cards. Trying to get people to buy CW Elite Cases are we? HA!

Q: What do you think about the 10% chance of obtaining the rare Containment War skins from the Containment War ELITE cases?
A: Chance to obtain them should be a large amount higher. (eg. 30%+) - 10% chance from elite case is just too low considering the pricey price tag.

Q: For the ELITE special edition cases (Containment War Elite), would you like to see A and B types of these cases in future events like this one?
A: Yes - YES! YES! YES! Why wasn’t there A and B types in the first place? … who did this!?

Q: Should the card cost for cobalt trade-up’s be reduced?
A: Yes, it should cost 5 gold loadouts - Well… to be honest 6 is fine but… I really really wouldn’t mind if they cost 5 cards.

Q: What do you think of the current trade-UP cost?
A: They are fine as they are - mmm…yeah.

Q: What do you think of the current trade-IN cost?
A: Crard cost ONLY should be reduced - Oh wait shit tits… forgot the ridiculous 24k cobalt trade-in…

Q: What do you think of the new SNIPER insta-gib changes?
A: It’s terrible!

Q: What do you think of the new EXPLOSION insta-gib changes?
A: It’s terrible!

Q: What do you think of the burst-fire rifle changes?
A: It’s terrible! I want it changed back - NOW

Q: What do you think of the “Get Up” augment change?
A: I don’t know/care - Don’t really have a problem with this nor did I have with 50%.

Q: What is your over-all impression/opinion of the Containment War update?
A: It was average. Not good, but not bad. (Neutral) - Liking Stükah and maps, not keen on changes and yeah, it’s not Dirty Bomb update if it doesn’t break the functionality a little bit.
