Hey SD ( if anyone from SD reads this stuff anyway )
where is DB going from here?
You started with very high and good claims. DB should become a dignified sucseesor of ET and ETQW as a real teambased objective Shooter with this great SD-Style-Gameplay.
It became a marketplace for cheap trinklets and fancy outfits while the core elements of the game are lacking and dont get any attention or improvements. ( not even talking about maps and stuff) The discussions in the Forums are mostly about minor matters like color of loadouts, shininess of stupid little bull**** on your weapon, trading and side elements of the game but not about the things that will make this game fail… the core elements and team support…
Or – and thats my question – did you already give up on the game? Will it be a neverending beta with useless bull**** sellouts, a capitulation on the finish line ?
I dont rant, i just want a hint, if this game is goint to be mainly about trinklets and loadouds while the game itself is just a mecanic to get those or if you are still working on what you said you want to accomplish.
Dont get me wrong: its ok, if you have to make money and maybe run out of ressources to finish this project and so changed the path. I just would like to get a hint where this is going, because the team support and some core elements of this game still suck.
It might have been the worst decision ever to make this game F2P due to the need of selling cosmetics to get the bucks, but i still see a chance that this game gets finished the way it was supposed to be.
Only … i dont see any intensions from SD to do so.
There are other games coming out that do way better in team support, bug fixing, and almost everything … exept the objective teambased gameplay.
So – from the perspective of a team of players - is it worth to stick with DB hoping you get the priorities right or time to move on and hope other developers integrate more objectivestyle gameplay in their coming titles??
