I’m posting here because i’m not really satisfied with the cards system in DB. Not only does it has rank/level giving specs that help your surviving against a lower opponent, but it’s just not contrasted enough to make a real point of its existence. Also the time and creds necessary to unlock cards are abusive. Not to mention the randomness that may give you a card with specs you already own/play with. My point is that i’m not sure Dirty Bomb does differenciate players the best way they could.
DB should get back to basics and totally remove the card system (ear that, detect this, less cooldown of this, instant reload, lick your elbow faster, climb walls, fart toxins etc) and just make a shop for weapons only, and i’m not talking about random shop! Real shop, you can see what you buy. Depending the class, you could buy AK47, m4a1, shotgun, smgs etc. Or replace main weapon by a dual secondary one. Or heavier melee weapon. Or even replacing a weapon of yours with an additionnal special item use, or additionnal ammo/health kit refuel capabilities. Something that fits you!
You are more like “no confrontation” medic, okay then give you smg away and buy a heal station so you can be 200% medic with both heal station and health kits. You feel more like engineer, replace your melee weapon and pistol by a fast repair tool allowing to repair turrets, heal station and objectives faster. Maybe you are rambo-like, then you’d want to replace your airstrike for extended magazines. Unless on the contrary you prefer a longer airstrike but lose your main weapon and run slower. You could sell your main weapon and run faster that way. You see what i mean? It’s all about what you want to be on the field, and it always costs you something else, but you never are OP compared to other characters, no matter the class. Your playstyle without cheating.
And why not a cosmetics only store, to gain real money from players : a cowboy hat for vassili, hood for sawbonez, biohazard suit for proxy, etc. With the rotating character thingy, nobody will give a penny in this game to unlock some dude, so the cosmectics are a good deal, isn’t it? i’d prefer players with basically same characters but different weapons (as long as they keep balancing pros and cons), and different cloth.
I don’t know, i feel like this whole cases, cards, loadouts things (and their randomness) are not good to DB somehow. What do you think?
