What's Next?

[TepidJesus]

With the recent release of Turtle, I feel that the game is at a point where the story and content are well fleshed out, so now I’m wondering, what comes next, now that Turtle is done. What are the Devs going to work on now @stayfreshshoe . And what do you guys in the community want to see come into the game now that turtle is done?

[XP_Expert]

first, there is still javelin.
and if we want, they can create new map.
and… new mercs too. game is not reality.
no limit in create iwith computer.
we need just request we want.

[Sorotia]

I’d still like to see Javelin soon…but probably most importantly is new maps…they have been on some good momentum recently…hope they wont lose it!

[TepidJesus]

Ah yes, @Sorotia @XP_Expert i had forgotten about Javelin, you two saying javelin reminded me that we never found out who the throwing knives belonged too, any hints @stayfreshshoe ?

[n-x]

Throwing knives are an old idea, which are definitely out of the game and won’t come back.

Turtle was the last officially announced Merc. Javelin was never officially announced. So there could be theoretically new mercs and javelin isn’t one of them.

I think the next important step would be to balance everything now. Some new maps would be welcome be there is no need to rush for that, Castle is already coming.

than what is your idea?
do you have plan? having idea?
if you feel heavy, pls don’t just ask and give your idea to SD.

[TepidJesus]

@XP_Expert I think they should be working on a complete overhaul of the inventory and crafting system as well as adding in trading, they should also focus on reworking our current mercs like bushwhacker and thunder especially.

[watsyurdeal]

I am hoping for a new light assault merc. Where maybe they take away Thunder’s Flash and just make his concussion nade just that, a concussion nade. And give a flash bang to 100 hp light merc with rifles.

Beyond that, HEADQUARTERS, GIMME HEADQUARTERS

[Sorotia]

I guess it’s kinda to late to ask to give Turtle rifles instead of him being a slightly altered Bushwacker? lol

[BazBling]

Well they are already well into development of ANOTHER MAP as we speak, and i am guessing that Javelin will be here soon(ish), totally reworked and with a different name of course.
Also i do believe they took throwing Knives out of the game because it was too easy to gib downed enemies with them.
I think they need to overhaul and work on balance issues and optimization and bugs etc. tho.

New map, new merc, balance changes. We’re still not out of content yet. And I can bet you that we will recieve even more maps after the next one. If I am not mistaken, the next merc will be called Javelin and will get a rocket launcher. The next map will be called Castle, but we have no info about it yet.

Casual Matchmaking is also being worked on. Still no ETA about it as far as I know tho.

I’m not exactly in agreeal with the whole "we need just request what we want…
I’m not sure we could ever fully agree on anything, that also happens to be purely beneficial for SD development. shrugs

I would assume it’s CMM though.

well… i think SD hadn’t idea almost 6 month until nerf thunder.
of course, SD have their own idea, as you said.
but, game player is their user.
if they want be good developers, they have to hear user’s opinion.
but they didn’t balance patch almost half of year between users discontent about burat rifle, mine, moa and other.
consequently, we need make up request rather than suggestion.

Version 1.0.0.0.0 is what should be next.
Enough with this “OPEN BETA” nonsense…

Why? This just tells the world the game is officially released, and that the product might not change too much from what it is.

Sure there are always updates with Free to Play games to keep them relevant, but I’d rather be aware that the game is unfinished and be aware that some features which are lacking, or not working correctly are still on the table to be improved.

Many games in Beta status do well, extremely well even. Just look at PlayUnknown’s Battle Ground. It is in Beta, and really shows it. The game is a lot of fun, but given that it is labeled Beta I can expect that the broken aspects of the game will be fixed or improved as the game continues to be developed.

Keeping a game in Beta just tells people to expect more, that shouldn’t be a bad thing.

Yeah, just like DAYZ. Surely they take their sweet time and polish up things

/s

I’m not into survival games, btw, this was just an example.

If they took DAYZ out of beta and released it though, it would still be a mess.
The game SHOULD be in beta, because it needs a lot of work.

Warframe is in onpen beta since at least 2014 (that is when I started playing) and it is more or less finished, but the devs add so much new stuff that the game feels entirely different - like they are turning the game into open world in the next update.

Paladins is also open beta, and that game feels like it would only ever change when some new maps and champions get added - it has bugs that haven’t been fixed since months.
Dunno how that game goes novadays, i did quit playing because first it became a cashgrab, and then the devs started dumbing it down to suit controller users.
I’m sooo happy that DB doesn’t have a console version

However, I don’t remember TF2 being in beta for so long, and it had regular updates for years.

@OP I can’t wait to see the new Dome. I liked the original, because it had a lot of useful jumps (I’m kinda disappointed with Vault because it doesn’t)
