I really do not know where to start with my feedback so here:
I personally find the teamwork lacking in this game. It is hard to explain because you actually do “see” teamwork all around you but you do not feel it. Aura can just set up a station for a sniper or fragger and then go rambo. All the carry objectives we are seeing very fast shotguns sprinting and finishing.
Big Suggestion: Would it be possible to entertain the idea of slowing down the acceleration speed of shotgun mercs; however keep their top speed?
- The speed at which a fast merc moves from stop to start or side to side is very very fast for the eye. I am also wondering if louder enemy footsteps might be coming?
Is there a plan in the works so if you v21 and need a medic or v22 and need ammo that will be slightly louder and appear on the map for those specific mercs? I feel like people can not find me or my vsay is for not…
I personally think shotguns feel a lot better but the speed or acceleration speed and 3 aura stations in pubs is a lot to over come right now.
Overall shooting feel in-general is muh… Aim for the body with a slight notion to aim for the head as fragger. I am not getting that great shot feel or wow he just owned me or the insta kill followed by a v55 and then a teabag… In fact to elaborate upon this if I am on train first stage and I see 3 or 4 enemy’s camping the door/hallway by the MG on thee outside and I am close to the plant area I really only have one option! Currently the way the game sits I need to go for the plant. If I am any auto shooting class there is no way I can down anymore then 2 of them with out the rest turning on me and I would be luck to get one at that distance. The feel of crouching and putting it on a persons head and flat out downing them just isnt there. They are not looking at you! They are just happily running around guarding that door and I feel helpless. I could throw a nade or stoker fire and maybe get 3 but I am talking about just plane shooting and good shooting at that I am talking rocking heads!
3 or 4 Patches ago stoker felt amazing. Crouch and unload 10 bullets (1hs) and down someone running full speed at mid range. That is what I hopped the game would feel like. If I am back raging a group of 3 or 4 people I really do not know how to handle the situation.
I have no comment on Loadout Cards or Augments. I have said my peace with them.
Player movement in general I feel like the players are floating above the ground. And dont get me started about hugging a wall and spamming jump.
As you can see by my words above it is sort of hard to explain the odd feeling I and other get from DB. The overall speed of the game is 2-toned and my eyes feel like they are going to glaze over! More Teamwork, more reasons to gib (aka maybe make Saw stronger) and give us the power to make great shots because right now in order to win you just need to spam away. I would personally love if the abilities worked hand in hand with the shooting. This will give the game the high skill ceiling it needs.
