Why are people so incompetent at playing DB?

[B_Montiel]

If they don’t want to win, then what about giving them the impression to get more credits by being useful ?

Especially during the recent months, I feel like there’s massive hordes of headless players just doing what they want. Which is critical, because they’re generally the first one not having fun because they’re losing. And those impair the quality of any game, no matter they’re 4 or 1 in each team.

So I really start to consider that some x% of your credit earning should be personal and linked on how you behaved during the game. I really don’t mind a giving a credit bonus to anyone selecting a utility class which is lacking at the time and then sticks to it.

One other factor, which is partially mentioned by @sweetColumn, is the merc miss-use which is definitely a problem. Playing sniper from very far is probably one of the best example. Even aimee, vas and red eye are not suited to be useful by just picking random kills across the map. No merc is in this game. And there’s nothing else than proper specific class tutorials that could prevent this from happening. And those won’t be played because they’re too boring.

I mean, it takes 3 to cause your merc to say something right? Dang it. I don’t want to play in an “internet kid server”.
[spoiler]Regardless of whether or not I t-bag in a match, I also have my capture last minute of gameplay button set to Ctrl+Shift+C - and since I’m paranoid that it won’t capture such awesome footage I’ll look like I’m tbagging AIR like 7 times just because I want to make sure my footage was captured fo’ sho’. So I’m already screwed if I have a halfway decent match.[/spoiler]

You, I don’t like you. Unless you mean life got boring without DB. And then I like you.

they should be called Special Attention kid, or stupid snowflakes. It fits them more since its closer to the truth than the word Stupid.

Then if they pick Vasilli/Aimee/RedEye, tries to camp on the back, when you try to talk him out of it they say " Chill out bro its just a game" that means they are “Stupid”

1.) That means all of my IRL friends ARE STUPID and that they need to go back where they came from… which is my home. I’m fudging screwed Column! Help me get away from them! AIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
2.) Stupid Snowflakes is my preferred term. If I have to call someone Special Attention kid because they might actually have some level of retardation I’ll never call them that. Ever. I will refer to them as FLK’s though. “They’re just special”

But maybe @BananaSlug is right and people are just stupid. Still finding it strange that I have hardly met such incompetent players in any other gaming community I have every played.

@BananaSlug is actually 100% correcto. I’m very stupid from time to time. And I agree that everyone has their stupidities from time to time. But I need to say something to you, @Kelben ; you used the word, hardly, however, since you haven’t really found them in any other gaming community, I must tell you something.

No, no. Come closer.

There. That’s it.
You weren’t looking hard enough. You didn’t enjoy those games as much, or something, because they’re there. They’re always there. I have found much stupider in the CS:GO and COD communities. DB is lucky to have such ‘lack’ of stupidity IMO.

People are underaged and/or cannot speak english. Comes with the game being F2P.
You can go check out the Valve servers in TF2 and see the same kind of brainless grinding going on there.

I used only the default cards because I was also curious how much I’d miss augments. My results are below[/quote]

@amerika* Unless I’m blind this morning and missed where you gave your thoughts on this, how much did you end up missing the augments? Maybe aside from a perk that involves timing or a muscle memory, did you notice lack of others?

[OCB-Wildcard]

While I can’t speak for others I myself know that sometimes I just play a little derpy purely because it ends up more entertaining for me, especially when it works for some strange reason. Not to mention if you’re taking pub matches seriously you’re already in the wrong mindset due to the nature of public games in general.

There are way too many factors to account for that can be botched by a small handful of players neglecting their class roles, all of which will inevitably occur in a public match at some point, to take it as seriously as you might like. I understand the irritation with this issue in question, I really do, but at the end of the day there really isn’t anything that can be done about it with the current state of the game without a comprehensive and mandatory tutorial of sorts (which admittedly is not fool-proof by any means).

End of the day I’d suggest just not taking it so seriously or taking a breather when it gets to you this much. After all, with how the majority of the playerbase is at the moment this isn’t likely to change anytime soon.

EDIT: Admittedly this may be my own pessimistic perspective of the majority of players in pub games seeping in but my main point was that personally all I can see you gaining from worrying over it is needless stress.

@ChaoticElf Yeah, I noticed I left that part out but I guess that goes to show just how much I didn’t miss them. Other than drilled I didn’t notice their absense. My muscle memory for animation canceling the m4 was a bit off due to me normally running Drilled on my m4 cards…but that wasn’t much of an issue. Augments are nice but I didn’t feel like I was being hamstrung without them.

[LifeupOmega]

Yeah I only ever miss Drilled and the other guns for the most part - that annoys me the most, I can’t play with the nice default skins when I want to use, say, the KEK as Phoenix.
