Video That I believe is a perfect way to make DB better

I agree with the lack of consistency. We need more maps, mercs, and hopefully a better card system, seeing as the card system is only beneficial to experienced players and not newcomers.

its a nice video but it all comes down to maps.

new maps means:

  • new metas, new tactics, new looks
  • mercs come out in different lights. Maybe you have this one spot were a previously underused merc is completely ruling the scene?

card system is fine, i mean its not really, but its too late to change anything. So its hardly true that its only beneficial to experienced players, as aim>all

Oh, I would love a map, where Phantom’s cloak could be more utilized.

Consistency isn’t that easy. I’d rather have a game where we get good content, not rushed content

Top comment by yours truly (on the youtube video). I just wish more people could be entertained by the raw gameplay. Currently I am, there was a point were I didn’t play DB for like 5 months but now I’m back to almost everyday. It’s a shame so much potential isn’t appreciated as much as it should be.

I think a full release so soon would be a wasted opportunity. Games only get one first release, DB had its, and this is where it is now. Another release would bring more players in, but with diminished returns and dimmer prospects for any big releases/updates down the line.
On the other side of that, I think a larger playerbase would contribute to solving balance issues (after CMM) and player experience at all levels, but I don’t know that DB will have the tools/content to sustain a larger playerbase in the next year. Generating more non-seasonal content would go a long way in retaining interest, though. The longer DB goes without new content, the more players quit and don’t look back.

I like the quality of Defib you execute. Quality medic demonstration. I hope to be like that and less of a combat medic.

Agreed.

But I would like to mention one thing about the card system is crafting… Crafting needs to be changed. Not necessarily the system, but the prices themselves to add progression into the system. Also, it would make silver/gold cards actually worth something. Currently, it’s a little disappointing getting a silver/gold (if you have no use for it).

Other than that, the current system is fine. People have given tons of suggestions on how to incorporate some of the ideas mentioned in the video while maintaining the current card system! Hopefully the devs are listening in or brainstorming. Maybe we’ll see some changes in the future. :wink:

not to mention the exponential value of moving up to a higher tier card and the deprecating value of a higher tier card if you don’t get the loadout you intend.

SD said at the time that the GOW team is separate from the DB team and isn’t affecting the development rate, so I don’t agree with that comment. I don’t think that makes them lazy developers, more likely they are busy with some project, DB related or not, that they’re not telling us about, or they could be fibbing about the GOW team comment. They are a business after all and are free to operate however they want internally and present a different face, especially as at the moment it might be difficult to justify spending loads on DB when the game is probably not generating a lot itself.

Otherwise it’s a good video but everyone’s saying these things. Sagan said it, there have been countless vids about it, and we’re still waiting with bated breath for something to change. The ball’s been in SD’s court for ages.
