Where is DB going?

@GatoCommodore : Sorry, again, I’m not working at Splash Damage. I am not responsible if they are doing a game going to abyss…

And I have nothing to do with what you are talking about ^^. As you, I think most of their changes are useless and going more and more to casual. That’s why min level servers would be very useful to escape (a bit) this casual mess. But saturday night, maybe are you drunk.

thats like voting for a president and watch the country become a shid-hole

“oh whoops, im not responsible for running this country to the ground, thats the government!”

also, min level server would be barren because i’ve seen it before and most of the time its not that different since these new level 20s who just arrived as a level 20s are still as stupid as level 5. (mostly aura health station is at fault.)

Yes, that’s why I never talked about level 20 but level 30. And of course 30 is really the minimum (especially with their future and useless XP leveling buff)… If they do servers higher than level 30 in Europe-West, I’ll be very happy. More, I’ll reinstall the game! Lol.

And I never “voted” for any change in DB… Except maybe some Javelin nerf, but that’s all :stuck_out_tongue:

A last thing, when we REKT new players, I’m not sure they learn a lot… They are just upset and rage quit. Then min level servers are a way to “protect” them. Some “head hunters” in this topic, saying “IT’S YOUR FAULT!!” are just ridiculous.


This is my Headhunter :slight_smile:

To be honest, as soon as you said you prefer and want the focus to be 7v7/8v8, I disregarded almost everything you said :expressionless:

Wow, then YOU REALLY ARE AN HARD CORE GAMER!!! Very impressive! Then, you probably have lots of fun in Ranked! Isn’t it? I mean, finding a game in 5 seconds, fighting against good opponents, with nobody who rage quit, no level 1. Congratulation!

You know, it isn’t because MOBA are 5v5 than DB should do the same. And it isn’t because MOBA has lots of champions than DB should do the same. Currently, in DB, it just looks like a failure. DotA hasn’t invented competition. Oh, I have an idea! We could do a square map, with a way at left, a way at right and a way in the middle. And we could add a jungle too!! There is already games for this. DB will never beat MOBA or Overwatch-like games in this arena. And they will never beat CS:GO on skin market. SD have to find their own style (they had one with ET, why not continue?) instead of trying to copy popular games as they started to do some time ago. It doesn’t work. Especially when you force players level 1 and 100 to “play” together…

… yeah. that’s it. Abuse flag.

If OP is still around, This thread pretty much sums up DB and what’s been happening. We have certain players who feel certain ways, other players that feel other ways, and devs who are just trying to get a game done that’s fun, who hope that their playerbase loves it.

This thread probably lived enough time. Everyone managed to vent a bit, and we’re starting to go in circles, so I’m going to close it before a real fight happens.

All that stuff might not feel as dark once the Hunter update will come out hopefully in a very few days. So let’s just wait for it before any further complaints.

And yes, as long as a server browser remains, it will be the main way to play for most players, especially in an objective based game. And its further worse with a CMM locked to one side only, which is intrinsically source of natural unbalance.

But it’s not the main way to play for most players. If it was development would be handled very differently for it.

  • No new maps: Castle? New Terminal? Unannounced maps in the pipeline?
  • Broken matchmaking in ranked and casual: Main issue for this currently is player numbers which will be addressed with the 1.0 release of the game. Other than that tweaks to improve balance and queue times are made regularly.
  • Only a few months a new merc sound awfull to stay in game for new players: If new players are solely here to wait for new Mercs instead of playing and experiencing all 20+ of them along with earning different content, cards, improving their skills and playing with friends, then sure.

We want to do more events, earned content and merch, but remember that this development will push back key feature work. Would you rather periodical events or new Mercs? As at the moment you’re contradicting what you’re asking for. Everything can’t be worked on at the same time, you have to pick and choose on which is the most important. This is why players got annoyed during the Summer Squash and MOFO updates. They were focused on improving the hygiene of the game and as there was little to no new content, this was the response.
