/dbg/ - Dirty Bomb General

boskeletonrp

*LITERALLY*

>each weapon has its ups and downs

Why, are you saying that weapon has a higher chance of beating me when I'm using a sniper, an assault rifle or a burst rifle?

No.

>weapons are segregated by unlocks
There are 3 weapons for each merc and 3 perks on each card
Perks are mostly "quality of life" stuff and do not affect your combat effectiveness
The effectiveness of each weapon is determined largely by preference; weapons in each category are of comparable strength with different pros and cons
The game throws Lead (1 perk) and Iron (2 perk) cards at you like crazy
It takes maybe an hour to get a Bronze (3 perk) card
The crafting system is pretty awful, but it's not pay to anything
People who want to spend money on this game are actually fucked because the monetization is so badly designed
You're 100% always better off just playing the game than you are spending money, and there's nothing you can buy with money that isn't easily unlocked

>coins and purchaseable coins
I don't even know what this means

>purchasable coins
Play the game first before you whine.

I played DB because of the people from dbg. Now that most if not all of them are gone I feel less and less interested in even logging in. I miss the old dbg with OC, friends and ironic shitposting.

I've gotten plenty of kills with the Tolen, prefer it actually. The MP9 or whatever they call it only has high RPM going for it.

I've literally only ever played by myself, none of my friends really ever wanted to try the game.

Fucking blows, only my brother occasionally plays it, but no one else wants to give it a shot.

It's a badly marketed game with destructively incompetent developers, and it has a much higher learning curve than any other modern game
Frankly I'm surprised the game stayed as populated as it was for as long as it did

The quality of games make DB no fun. Too many shitters clogging the servers up.

Thanks Splash Damage for really working on this game

Dead as fuck.

>Frankly I'm surprised the game stayed as populated as it was for as long as it did
It's still alive because it gets played by mostly autists who look for a specific type of gameplay which only DB (and ET) offers today.
If it would be the generic CoD/CS clone, it would be long dead already.

I still make OC, I just can't be arsed to finish anything anymore.

Can't when I have to play SW games and my team absolutely blows. No fucking point in even attempting to do shit when half my retards can't even get of spawn.

And of course no fucking autobalance and voting for shuffle is 100% futile every god damn time.

Which pisses me off, if they had proper developers and a bit more funding it would be great.

Kills me that I like this game but it's going to die in a year or so, or when something incredibly similar comes around.

>he can't carry his entire team
get stronger kid

Laser is not fun.

P2w means that you need to pay to win.
Now you can understand.

...

Bushwacker still isn't fun.

>Run.webm
I do not see it fun anyway...

>Tier 3: NOT GOOD.

All the squishy fast girls are fun because of the high risk that comes with great mobility.

I did not say that kira isn't fun, i did say that the laser is not fun.

Brink is on sale guys :^)

Why the hell are they still selling that game? Why is bethesda so fucking greedy?

Is Dirty Bomb better than Brink?

Yes.

No.

Maybe.

Soon.

Peradventure.

Sawbonez is getting nerfed next patch. Yawn.

Plis no
How?

Medpacks, not going to release numbers because as always those can change.

What? Are you serious?

AHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHHAHAHAAAA
AHAHAHAHAHAA

Good job SD, his self-healing is already shit compared to other 3 medics.

Fuck up one of the two balanced mercs in the game, good job mates, good job.

Would I joke about Sawbonez, man?

They are changing the direct hit healing I believe, not the HoT.

When are they going to realize they're not competent enough to manage any meaningful changes and will inevitably just make things worse?

Have they not learned from the last few patches?

Why can't they just focus on improving performance, quality of life, and their monetization system. Start selling all of the previously available cosmetics and just make the game playable, for christs' sake.

The only balance changes they should be making are to nerf Fletcher and Thunder.

Balance changes are really easy to do and it looks like you care a lot.
Fixing bugs and implementing new stuff is lots of work.

I'm not even that smart, Raz. I'm of extremely middling intelligence and life experience.

The fact that an idiot like me can see such simple solutions to what afflicts this game should be a testament to how delusional the guys at SD are.

Isn't there some way to talk some sense into these guys, or do they just not care about what they do at all?

Of all the characters.
They nerf the healer with highest skill cap.
What's the point of being good at throwing medpacks directly if it does nothing.

You know it's bad when they have to stop core development for bug squashing. That speaks to how small of a team they have for DB.

As for more fun non-gameplay affecting cosmetics (looking at you, loadouts), on the Nexon side we have come up with various awesome ideas. Just up to them to execute if they *want* to.

Weapon skins are on their way, Exedore has mentioned this before.

At least at Nexon, between Elan (the producer on our side) and I, we both believe the crafting system is for free users, and paid users need more... pizzazz. We have come up with a couple of systems that would work for skins that would attach to loadout cards and override that skin basically, but, again, up to SD if they want to execute and when.

Good job Raz for bringing down the shitstorm of Veeky Forums upon yourself. What were you expecting?

I don't care, because I am just venting my frustrations. No one is mad at me. I have no say in the game.

FIX THE CRAFTING FIRST BITCH

...

I CANT GET THE TRADE UP ACHIEVMENT RAZZZZ

RAAAAAAAAAAAAZ
I CAN'T CRAFT CARDS FOR MERCS I DON'T OWN
FIX IT

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZ

How much is your salary?
Do you get paid to shill on Veeky Forums? I've seen a lot of Dirty Bomb threads on /v/ lately

>Dirty Bomb threads on /v/
Any links?

I get 40k a year.

No, I am pretty sure no one really knows I go on Veeky Forums at work. I have not made a single one of these threads. That's all you guys. Good job, kiddos.

Holy fuck you get paid a lot
I don't even make half of that

I'm more curious about how they can afford to have two(not one but TWO) unannounced projects in development(in addition to gears) and can barely get a tiny team together to fix bugs for their fucking flagship game.

Will you give me free elite cases if I shill Dirty Bomb on /v/?

You don't even really need that many new skins, seriously. Just sell the older ones at markup so people buy them from your store instead of from some keysite.
No new features, no new models, no new nothing. Literally just selling shit that is already in the game.

>Literally just selling shit that is already in the game.
Like Turtle and Javelin?

...

>flagship game

>The fact that an idiot like me can see such simple solutions to what afflicts this game should be a testament to how delusional the guys at SD are.
that's some serious dunning-kruger shit you've got going on there user

Turtle has no ability(that piece of plastic just won't cut it). Javelin only has some shitty untextured model and backstory. No voice acting or animating or anything.

It's their only game for fuck sakes, other games belong to other companies.

I am not complaining, technically it's a little low for a CM, but again, I am not complaining whatsoever. I am very happy with my job and company.

Great question. Maybe that's why chicken boys picked them up?

No user.

What older skins? The only interesting ones are the Founder's skins. Even those are fucking sick, I would agree on never selling those again however. I am talking more like mesh changes in the store to sell, not recolors.

To be fair, as far as I know, they are changing Turtle around a lot. He wasn't in the game for very long, and Javelin was never actually in the game. So we'll see.

>Turtle has no ability
Who cares, release him with BR loadout and the shitty shield... End of the problem.

i just hope matchmaking arrives some time soon before the community shrinks too much for it to be useless :(

you guys know about auto-join not working at all, right?
you were asking about bugs a while back and named some big ones outside of the game itself you guys know about, and this wasn't on the list.

Raz, 3 perks leads and irons, please.

All of the old event and promotional skins from every event. It doesn't matter if they aren't interesting, people will still buy them - which is more than can be said about the shit that's currently in the shop.

Damn, when is this from?
Those skins, that UI, and that presentation look absolutely fucking amazing.
Way more professional than how the game currently is.

Very well aware.

Not up to me, personally, I am fine with 3 perks being at Bronze level. It used to be that Silver and Golds had exclusive loadouts, now that was bullshit (this was before Cobalts were introduced).

All of those skins were exclusive/unique/"limited time offer". Would be bad business practice to go back and sell them again, especially since right now it would be all RNG on which merc you would get.

Especially that Arty skin, fuck. I would kill several good men with their own shoes for a tan and blue arty skin, my favorite color combo.

>Great question. Maybe that's why chicken boys picked them up?
Nah, chicken business just isn't as profitable as previously so they expand to more profitable industries to not get fucked when the next chicken flu comes or some shit. Dunno, i'm not a farmer. They probably give zero fucks about games and just looked at the past year's financial reports.

>I am talking more like mesh changes in the store to sell, not recolors.
That's what I don't understand either, why are they treating random automatically generated color changes as something special or desirable? I mean just look at your ugly nexon skins with text randomly wrapped over the weapon.

>He wasn't in the game for very long,
Correction. Turtle was never in the game for the players. No idea where the myth came from.

Have you even tried it in offline? It literally floats midair.

End of 2013 or so.

>bad business

Raz. Razzy dear. My love. My little child. The only thing that's bad business is voluntarily avoiding making money, which is what the game currently is doing.

Even people who played during those events, for the most part, couldn't manage to actually get the right card they wanted. The result of every fucking event is "Oh wow, I got a few random cards I don't fucking want and now I can't delete them."

There will be perhaps 3 people in the world who would complain about reintroducing limited skins, and all 3 of those people would be contrary idiots whom you shouldn't care about.

If dirty bomb was hugely popular and had a sensible monetization scheme that encouraged the average player to spend some money, then we could talk about nice and pure ways to pander to the 4 people still around who played during those events. But it's not, and it doesn't.

>Turtle was never in the game for the players.
My bad, thought some of my friends who played Alpha said he was in for a little bit. Thanks for the insight.

They bought Warframe, and it's doing extremely well. They managed to fix most of their game breaking issues and bugs, and remove a lot of the pancake on face fucking stupid stuff. I haven't played it in a few patches, but as I understand it it's still chugging along in essentially the same way it always has without any interruption, and they just keep adding more and more shit to do.

I'm hopeful that a little more money and attention will do the same for Dirty Butts, but of course, not that hopeful. Since, y'know. As far as anyone can tell they don't have anyone even slightly competent working at SD.

As Firefall proved, throwing money at an extremely incompetent dev team doesn't solve any problems - not even when it's 25 million.

Its pay to win faster, like every p2w game these days. Sure you can grind and RNG your way to win but its faster to pay.

>unlocks
>winning

>I am fine with 3 perks being at Bronze level.
Me too, but I think it's implementable another kind of lead and irons skins with other name and at the cost of a colbat... or something. I just want to play my fav skins without losing efficiency.

>Have you even tried it in offline? It literally floats midair.
Ok, turtle, the engi without hability and a BR, anyway i will pick this over other engi.

Ok, you are right, so pay or stop playing if you don't like p2w.
Are you going to start that shitty argument everytime you read p2w?
No everybody thinks like you, get over it.
Fucking awkward autist...

Battleroid why arent you playing bf4 anymore

vocaroo.com/i/s0i7qmmLF1mL

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight

It's always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder
If you ever
Think of me

high parts fucked me over

>fucked me over
Just like her

>dressed for a long and adventurous hike
>just hanging out in some guys yard next to a garden hose

that dog is such a fucking poser, omg
so typical of today's culture, you know
fucking youths

fucking aussies

>crafting pre-event

It's literally LITERALLY an inferior Hochfir with no upside.
Getting it means you got the shittiest card available.

Good fuck yes. Brink is the epitome of buyer's remorse even more-so than Spore.

>forced to do the tutorial over and over to unlock weapon parts
>forced to play with shitty braindead bots to unlock weapon parts
>online also has forced bots
>online also doesn't work because the server list fucked up and fans had to make a dedicated 3rd party server browser to use it

I don't know what fucking tree it fell out of but someone needs to kill it at the root.

>purchasable coins
There are no such things
