Buying multiple Equipment Cases. When?

How about when will you nerf that Fletcher like you should?
He is a goddamn engineer not a fucking assault.
Or how about you explain us how those boosters works ? because for now it looks like they dont work at all

Why can’t engineers be viable in combat? Medics are. Bushwhacker and Proxy can kill plenty well. I know people who get just as many kills with Proxy and Bush as they do with Fletcher. The difference is explosives, scary deaths and people who can’t cope with you don’t just head on charge every merc you see.

When the %^&%^&ing f#@$%k is going to be Phantom’s rework, and Thunder’s Max HP buff.

Aimee’s spotting + weakening is putting Phantom in more trouble, and Thunder’s inferior state than other Assaults is still not fixed.

MK.46’s state isn’t enough as Assault but quite in normal state, but his HP? NO.

But to be honest, I can wait for for Thunder, but phantom? I guess most of the people can’t even wait the %^& no more.

You guys shouldn’t even have make fun of that issue for April fools joke.

So WHEN?

The most recent update hinted about a second series of loadout cards. Are those loadout cards in work ? When will we be able to get them ? Will old loadout cards still be available ?


(MilkyBear) #7

Will it be a comic about the culprit too ?

Yeah i agree that Thunder Hp should be 10 Hp higher, and please make his hit box as small as fragger, what does he even have in there ? Turtle ???

Also the mouse sensitivity decrease of concussion effect.

What’s your current thinking about this concussing effect doing NOTHING that Thunder lost half of his skill’s characteristic?

Is your plan changing the conc’s name in to A Bit Headchy, or Screen-Wobbling grenade?


(PD_Agent47) #10

will there be more creative mercs rather than turtle & javellin or will it be stopped after the release of further two mercs ???

I’d like to know if we will ever get more ambitious weapon skins. I understand the limitation/reservation behind keeping merc skins more tame to ensure recognition doesn’t suffer - but so far, many of the gun skins have been similarly reserved.

I’m not talking bright pink neon skins, but more distinct styles and vivid patterns. The way the Skullsplitter trinket stands out is a great start, but I just find so many previous gun skins to be “just OK” - that isn’t bad per se, but I did wonder if there was a reason for not stepping it up and making us shinier shinies.

I’d also like to add that this gives an opportunity to add distinction between bronze/silver cards: gold is the first tier I even start considering myself to have a skin - why not more interesting silver loadouts? If I could get a cool gun skin from a silver loadout as well as different cool skins from gold and cobalt, perhaps elite cases wouldn’t be so lacklustre and generally unappealing.

Also…

I want to see you two battle it out in a good old best of 3 rock paper scissors tournament. Loser has to buy the other a pint. May the best Brit win! See? Not every post I make is about skins. Sort of. Who am I kidding…


(god1) #12

Will the game ever get proper cosmetics instead of just trinkets and re-textured skins? More along the lines of the Founder’s skins with new models and stuff.
I’m pretty confident that your concerns about new models causing confusion and even some advantages in visibility and stuff are invalid.


(l2c) #13

Phantom?
Mid-game teambalancing that’s not a vote?


(MarsRover) #14

Can we get a simple & straightforward explanation how ReV boosters work?

I mean more than “they boost your chance”. How do they do that? I’m particularly interested in confirming/denying information from this post:

Explanation and feedback about South America servers.
Several players from this region stopped playing DB. From 30 players, 3 including me still active in the game.

Will be 3 months and the latency interferes w/ our gameplay.

Discussion: Stream will be recorded? I have school in these days…

  1. Do you plan to rebalance load outs and get rid of obselite ones?
  2. Will you make anything, so 90% of new players wouldn’t buy Vassili once they get 25k at lvl 4?
  3. What improvements do you plan for mercs?
    -Sparks. Will you give her proper primary weapon, but remove her tankiness with run/jump/dodge+self heal?
    -Will Kira* get MP as secondary after her speed nerf as advantage over Arty (and to create any difference between their load outs)?
    -Plans on phantom?
    -What do you plan to do with Thunder?
  4. Execution. Will this game mode (and missions for it) recieve any improvements so it doesn’t get played for 500 daily credits in most cases?
  5. Any improvements for balance system, shuffle vote and auto balance?

BETTER TUTORIAL ?


(SirSwag) #18

I personally feel that gaining support exp to be easier than objective exp, yet objective exp missions require more overall experience to be gained as opposed to support exp. Was this a concious decision and do you plan to change the structure of missions in the future?


(Ardez1) #19

Was the inclusion of the ‘First Edition’ label on loadout cards in this patch an intentional Easter Egg hinting towards new loadouts in the future or was it left in the game files by mistake?

PHANTOM PHANTOM PHANTOM

Okay, in all seriousness, I think the player base would really benefit from at least a progress report on Phantom. Is he still in the drawing board stage? Is it in the process of being coded, tested, debugged, etc? When can we expect to see him? Before the event ends, some time after, or not until at least Turtle is done?
