Does bosco spawn if its a multiplayer game with only one person in it?
near glacier
I believe he's only part of the solo mission mode
valid fog
That's what I thought
gusty tree
yea that would be a negative. So I stand by my ask in suggestion. IF there is only 1 person even if you're in a "multiplayer mission" (because I'm waiting for my friends to get on currently and join me. Let him be there...but make him go away if anyone joins.
Not that I honestly mind though because all through the alphas I played this solo and it's fine (this Bosco thing is new to me...it's neat though). But would be nice for the situation I ran into 😃

<@&257786783666929665> You guys REALLY need to adjust, or put some mention, regarding the "error" resource if you don't want people to spam your bug reports and steam discussions about something that isn't a bug in the first place.
near glacier
Yeah, I've seen it posted in #bug-discussion so many times
fathom stag
It's getting rather annoying honestly, with people seemingly incapable of recognizing what is an actual bug or not.
near glacier
I've often been tempted to say "This was just posted, scroll up a bit to see my response", but you can't do that without sounding patronising.

Maybe add some sort of paint or something so that you can mark off a tunnel that you've already been down
near glacier
The flares serve that purpose, since they remain on the floor and glowing even after they stop giving off light
fathom stag
Basically toss a flare so that it stays at the mouth of the cave, bam.

Magic glowsticks
knotty socket
I'm not that far into the game yet so I don't know if it's a thing yet , but are there maps where you have to play without flares? Me and some guys did that as a challenge and it made navigating more challenging
And more fun because it was more of a challenge
near glacier
No.
fathom stag
No, flares are an integral part of the game.
It'd be like Payday 2, just without cover or skills.
knotty socket
Oh does it really get that hard later on?
fathom stag
As in, removing things that are core to the gameplay.
The game can be hard as nails, especially on hazard 4.
near glacier
The game has no "no flares" mode. You can avoid using them if for some crazy reason you want to, but it's not something that's ever forced
knotty socket
Yeah

A crappy lil' suggestion by me; Make it so that you have the ability to toggle the jukebox on a loop, and the command wont force it to stop.

There needs to be a way to set a beacon. When you find something, you already know it's there and having to re-ping it as you climb up to it is annoying
idle quartz
^need a way to ping longer, been suggested to hold the button
unkempt fjord
different colored flares that you can scroll with your mouse wheel to change the color of the flare in game to help with directions
make loot bug a little faster and can possibly take some of the mules resources on certain game modes
also more combat music when swarms come in
gusty tree
Suggestion : Playing with 4 players, there was a few times that we were wondering how much stuff we've accumulated. Without anything else around to dig and then dump into Molly, we had no keys and no way to tell what our loot was so far. This is important for Nitra....so maybe a key or something for an overview?

Feedback : agree to crouching, but also the terrain scanner not being able to zoom out isn't helping 😦

Agreed
Would like to be able to toggle the terrain scanner and have it able to cycle 3 stages of zoom
And preferably have it in the top right or some place where you can walk around without being blind

Just an idea for a class, not sure what the various values should be as I haven't quite determined how they affect gameplay.
valid fog
Railguns aren't lasers tho
gusty tree
Yea I'm good with the map acting like a scanner you look at and block your screen, but the issue is that it can't zoom out, so when you are in big caverns trying to find your barings, or trying to find the next path to go to? It's no help. We got utterly lost the last 30 minutes before we died, because we couldn't find the next cavern to get to. So maybe have arrows with directions you're pointing, or ways to zoom out so you can look around etc.
near glacier
Laser gun would also be fun!
valid fog
Especially if it bounced off of armor
restive saffron
Weapons that can penetrate the bugs' armor?

That would be the idea for the railgun, but it would still be more effective aiming for the weak points

I've got a suggestion. If you're going to market your game as 1-4 players then please make sure that the balance works with 1-4 players. No matter what I do, I cannot solo this game. There isn't enough ammo and nitra to get through even the level 1 hazards. I know that the point of this game is co-op, I get it, but if you're not going to restrict it to 2-4 players then make sure that solos can survive. This is just my 2 cents. I do love the game when I play in groups, but I have been trying to stream some solo runs and the difficulty curve is a little too severe to play alone.
Basically if you want us to pour bullets into a horde, please give us the bullets to pour into said horde 😃

I don't agree with LordAkiris, this game should have more than 4 players 😉
sharp dagger
I soloed 3 missions by now works just fine if you use ur pick to clear low threat enemies
soft bay
I came here to suggest the same thing as @leaden berry , actually. Solo is quite difficult now, it really needs to be balanced. Maybe reduce the amount it costs to call in a supply pod? If not that, then higher chance of nitra spawn. I have yet to play it with 2 or more people (all my friends suck and aren't convinced to get the game yet).
Despite the difficulty of solo, it's still fun. I see a LOT of potential in this, and am enjoying it so far. Thanks! 😃

@sharp dagger I did try that and found it to be very slow and not fun at all. Don't give me huge guns and expect me to fucking pick everything! More ammo! More destruction!

Hi all, new here just got the game today and had some sessions with a couple of friends. It was a blast! I can't wait to see what you guys have in store. Are there any plans on adding more progression to the game? While it's fun as a challenging co-op experience, I feel like the upgrade systems implemented now could be improved on a lot to act as more incentive to keep trying for harder missions in order to reach the better upgrades more efficiently. I think the way the game is handled now, there are many options to take regarding progression eitherway
idle quartz
Yes^

<@&257786783666929665>
Class suggestion: "Meadic" (can be changed)
Basic Feature: Stamina - a multi purpose resource restored with Honey Mead
Weapon 1:
- Twohanded Lasercutter Axe = wide arc, high damage spread to every enemy hit (more enemies = less individual damage)
- Ammo is your Dwarfs Stamina
Weapon 2: - Uzi - low damage high capacity slight slow on hit
Skill 1: - Dwarf-Toss - uses Stamina to Toss another Dwarf up onto a ledge
Skill 2: - Meadical treatment: Drop a Mead Barrel that heals 20-30% HP (can be upgraded to give big shorttime buffs)
- Uses all your Mead (you need minimum 50% remaining)
Alternative Skill 2: - Drink up and get goin': Drop A Mead Barrel that can be used once by each Dwarf to Buff stats based on their class
- Scout - Speed + Jumping Distance + Flare regen
- Driller - Damage to environment+ Drilling AoE
- Engineer - Instant Turret Build Speed + Refill ? Maybe something else
- Gunner - Higher Accuracy
- All: Damage resistances
Grenade:
- Oozenade: Enemies hit are sometimes dizzy and attack their own kind (can be upgraded to give minor vulnerability to enemies in the Ooz)
maybe add a CD-based 50% resupply to your buddydrone in solo play

idea -Simply put-
The flamethrower clears out foilage in plant-dense areas.
Having the same effect as the bugs corpses despawning
nothing 'flashy' needed~
eager wave
let flamer ammo burn a bit slower that would be nice
idle quartz
^i always tell people to just dab it on, its a low DPS weapon with a DoT component, and its the DoT you want to maximize, so its a potentially VERY effective weapon if you dont use it like a minigun. That said hes definitely the least played character and most people struggle with him so some QoL might be whats needed
near glacier
a factor of 1,5 on the flamer fuel. But yeah, @idle quartz I know what you mean. It's just like wasting 200 rounds of the minigun to kill the Pretorians from the front instead of shooting their asses ^^
sharp dagger
maybe we get optional upgrades that can be toggled like combusted fire to change the flamethrower from doing dot dmg debuff to a plasma thrower that only melts enemies when fired
soft bay
Of course as soon as I suggest a balance suggestion, suddenly the game turns to my favor and I find lots of resources and am doing fine now XD
idle quartz
^sometimes the way people play depends on how much nitra they find 😛 if its scarce, just blits till you find more!
cobalt locust
Suggestion: Markers. So you can communicate positions better. Now my team often gets lost in big cave systems and we have to search everywhere for the next tunnel, which isnt much fun
cobalt locust
Could be fun, yeah
sharp dagger
would make the "scouting" aspect worthier
cobalt locust
Another suggestion: Bigger scan-area. The current range makes it barely useful. Now it's just for finding the fastest way to dig in a small bit of dirt. If its bigger or revealed other things, it could be a more fun mechanic.
gleaming condor
I like the idea of more specialist equipment for classes
Like digger having a tool to scan for hollow spaces or ore
Maybe not that actually.

Any plans on making your drone actually do something when you get hooked by unnoticable unpredictable undodgeable ceiling plants??? 😃

could you make the deploy ramp only on the pick up ship dig out a walkable area around it
ive had it going through a wall into another room and it would be so helpful
also please let me keybind :T

Suggestion for the scanner:
Add upgrades per class;
First upgrade = zoom ability
Second upgrade lets scanner detect:
minerals
collectable items (ie fossils)
enemies

Just an idea when adding biomes in the future you could have some where you lose radio contact to mission control so you dont get horde alerts so you are just mining and you hear the clicking of bugs as they get closer, i believe this would make for some amazing hardcore moments
grizzled scroll
A suggestion to flesh out the lore a little bit: Have Dwarven Skeletons at some places, they essentially function the same as one portion of a resupply crate, filling up 25% of your ammo, with a certain chance they could even carry small amounts of Gold and crafting materials with them.

Having options to set the 'escape pod button' to only be pressed by the squad leader, team vote, and/or two people holding down the button at the same time.
Cause having that one guy who is eager to jump on the button is extreamly frustrating when the rest of the team is excavating a cavern, and still got MUCH more to go...
Jus failed a mission trying to escort an endo pearl 240~ m away from the pod site. Did it the fastest we could. Couldn't help that 5 minutes wasn't enough.

i also feel like being able to set your server up with an 'intention' would be somewhat useful. like they do in some other games you could choose like 'Fast Mission Completion', 'Gathering Crafting Materials', etc

narrow river
On the topic of class suggestions, a Medic class would be cool. Could have a needle gun that heals/revives allies at range. Could also have a tool that makes a normal glyphid (non boss) into an ally until it dies (can only have like 2-3 at a time though, with low ammo obviously). Then for a weapon, they could use like a normal SMG.
upbeat horizon
I wouldn't mind seeing some kind of 'loadouts' where you can upgrade tools to be different. Like there could be an engineer turret sidegrade that makes it shoot fire.
sharp dagger
Look at the "meadic" above - its not about healing but all about mead 😉
problem with heals is: it would make the class irreplaceable and build a "meta"
narrow river
I don't see how it'd be irreplaceable. If nobody gets hurt or dies, or if playing solo, it doesn't heal anyone. To combat that uselessness, I also added in the cool part of brainwashing some glyphids into allies, and you'd be able to heal them of course.
So its more than just a medic, but also makes extra allies, similar to the Engineer's turret.
near glacier
if a class even has uselessness in the first place maybe you should pack in with the idea, rather than try to add extra stuff to make up for it
narrow river
It was packed into the idea though 😕
You could instead think of it as a "summoner" class with the ability to keep its minions alive, with the added ability of keeping allies alive.
near glacier
doesn't really fit imo
deft basin
What about a class like @narrow river suggested a tamer that can "brainwashing some glyphids into allies, and you'd be able to heal them" as he put it
near glacier
why would dwarves want to tame the bugs and why would DRG condone such a practice let alone encourage it by creating a job opportunity for it ?
we're here to get in, get materials and get out

or allow the bugs to break the rope and an engineer has to repair it.
chilly relic
What about a catalog to keep track of everything you scan? Not just minerals but like, aliens too, and then implement something for an engineer to scan the area and it could be so loud that it triggers a swarm so it's got a risk in doing so but at the end of it you can see minerals for a good distance on your map.
near glacier
I very much doubt they would add anything that finds minerals for you, since searching for them is a core part of the game. A catalogue would be a cool little extra though
cobalt locust
Suggestion: Change your appearance back to your chosen settings after trying stuff out in the shop
Its confusing when you see items or settings you dont have/use when opening the store
A confirmation button for confirming your outfit would also be a nice QoL addition
still python
@spare kestrel Would it be possible to put a form of inventory upgrades in, like, something that increase the amount of each mineral/ore you can carry till you have to deposit in the mule.
devout coral
maiden olive
the only main thing that I did suggest some time ago and didn't have that many changes is the satchel explosives
the gunner and the driller have it, and they work identical through both classes
a bit of an expecialization between the 2 classes, to make each explosive look more particular woud be good
much like they made the scout's grenade be a delay AoE for the enemies
near glacier
is there a way to remove the Hud and weapon model? for cinematic content ?

for driller armor that allows him move up on the walls.
for M.U.L. if you are playing for engineer at the start you can attach turret on it. When playing as a driller, you can attach a drill and control the mule through the ipad or something.
Also make the dam lifts come on button

Really odd concept for a new enemy. Basically, he attacks light sources, so turrets and tries to eat flares. it will attack dwarves if they have their flashlight on or are in the process of creating light (example: the flamethrower producing light), but if theres no light to attack it leaves
possibly make it a mini-boss?
plucky orchid
^Something like that would be pretty nice for kill missions. maybe with some widespread "semi-bosses" which are leading through the cave for mining
jade sparrow
Played with a guy named "Zorathul" last night who didn't know the difference between reg flares and his flare gun. Got teamkilled for telling him to do it too much in chat. Maybe when a noob picks scout and throws his first couple normal flares there could be some sort of "Did you know you have a dedicated gun that does this better?" hint
dusk meteor
wtf
so saying this now
the scout shouldnt be using the flare gun unless you are lighting up a full cave really
moving along regular flares are better
jade sparrow
Agreed
dusk meteor
especially since the flare gun has limited amoo
jade sparrow
This was a particularly cavernous map
dusk meteor
ah
hmm
still, people should maybe not flame people for not knowing stuff when the game has been out FOR SO LITTLE TIME
jade sparrow
No flaming was involved really
dusk meteor
got teamkilled for telling him to do it too much in chat sounds like flaming/toxicity
id rather this game not turn into cs:go or overwatch levels of toxic
jade sparrow
"Hey man you have a separate flare gun if you press 3"
I can see how you assumed such, games are a cesspool of mad betas

its mainly an issue mainly of people dont really fully understand the abilities of other classes to start off, so maybe like, there should be a tutorial mission for each character rather than just the gunner? or one more specifically for each character to explain their strengths/weaknesses

they gotta bring back full hud so all weapons are always displayed.

You guys are talking about "nice to have"' features when it's an alpha build

they're taking all suggestions. even the silly ones

Of course they are, but it's more meaningful to give critical alpha related suggestions
This will be lost in all the chatter

it's fine, people can suggest whatever and the devs will pick and choose as they see fit

i'm OCD about the whole 'no let's not call in the pod yet...just one more cave '

Same here

also suggestion for discord: introduce a bot that creates extra squad voice channels when needed, and removes them when they become empty
merry cliff
it would be nice to see more weapons as mass destruction for digging, like a mega laser drill that only can built whith components found during the mission like minerals, it would be awesome to have such power in this envirorment, maybe some drones like "Prometheus" that scan the map and return if there is no exit, flying turrets, possiblity ar limitless :D
i really enjoy the volcanic enviroment it feel so dangerous whith earthquakes and mini volcanos, maybe adding some complexity to this envirorment like LAVA!!
Picture this, you and you're squad are digging and suddently lava start erupting from the last hole you did, and start to fill the whole room. It could be a nice adding to the game and will change the gameplay a bit, making it more various, there is a lot of potential in this game, and i hope to see it grow strong 😄
toxic pike
I think loot bugs need a random chance to give rare minerals
I do think we need a terrain scanner that basically overlays a transparent/emissive material to search for passages and objects such as eggs through walls.
versed nymph
that would be cool but 2 problems 1 liqude physics can get really tricky and 2 if your downed inside the lave how do you get revived. its a cool idea tho @merry cliff
toxic pike
also how would you close the whole if for example, spilled over the drop pod?
<@&257786783666929665> I suggested a new class on the surveys, a dwarf with a gravity hammer (halo style AOE, pushes things back when you hit them but has a charge); A single fire rifle for a range component (think are lower fire rate, but better dmg than the gunners revolver); A gravity lift tool (You place a tool similar to the turret but it creates an updraft field) that pushes things up till they hit the roof to get people up those vertical areas; And last a special item that once engaged gave you regening shield for a few seconds (Probably only give 4 charges). Could have grenades that pull things towards the center. Basically a good old melee class. With a gravity theme.
versed nymph
just saying a sniper rifle in a cave system that is very dark would probably not go well
at least one with a scope
quiet sage
thermal?
toxic pike
I was thinking more on the line of a elephant gun buffalo rifle, so only iron sights
Just something to shoot things from afar when you cant go smack them with the hammer.
merry cliff
@versed nymph could be a dwarf whith a magnetic granade like if he trow one create a gravity loop and the fluid would be trapped in there, or multiple to create a contension barrier
toxic pike
@merry cliff That would be badass
versed nymph
again cool but i dont want to imagin the night mare of coding that
merry cliff
yeah haha
untold dust
Mayby more exotick colors to buy differend way. You go to mission. You need 15 mitirite (cant remember real name) You get 20 mitirite 🤣 and you end mission. Now you can keep those 5 extra mitirite and buy somethin spesial.
toxic pike
Physic pulls and pushes arent as hard as you may think
Basically tell things in a trigger area to get pulled to the origin
versed nymph
not so much the puch and pull liquide
merry cliff
but hte resoult could be SICK, or a lase gravity gun, if someone is downed in "water" guess for the ice environment a dwarf could be shooting the laser wasting ammo and the dwarf whith the grapling gun could descede revive him and then find a way up to evade the water trap ù
toxic pike
Gravity gun?
quiet sage
grapple hook grabs friends?

Fluids would be a nightmare
versed nymph
especialy with how we can mine
lean haven
hammers in general would be nice
toxic pike
Yeah, they would basically need to have an entity that spawns a trail of whatever the fluid is

yes like minecraft basically

difrence is mincrafts water is easaly coded
toxic pike
but minecraft water works on a grid
versed nymph
since its a grid

Would be amazing if you could stop the current mission cause has happen a few times that the last egg or the last 2 parts of morkite wont appear and everything is explored and we just have to cancel and lose like an hour searching...
full sentinel
@peak plank Isn't there an abandon mission option?
peak plank
Yeah but you lose everything
Like an hour wasted totally
It would be great if you can call the base so they send the drill ship earlier and you just leave the mission not losing the stuff you got, or when you have been like 45 min in the mission already or something idk
peak plank
Yeah
idle quartz
I agree, flawed maps are inevitable sometimes (though usually its people missing something)
toxic pike
I do feel there should be a cancel mission since some seeds are terrible to get through. Even if you lost all the xp from the objectives, and survivors. Let people at least evac over mission failed. And save the ores they dugged.
idle quartz
but its going to be hard to have a FAIR system that cant just be abused either
idle quartz
would need to only activate after X minutes.
toxic pike
I would be fine with anything over nothing.
idle quartz
and you get only the stuff you have
toxic pike
But more importantly getting out the fun way and not having to just abort back into base.
peak plank
Yeah, after X minutes and maybe like voting and having to be more of the half of the group with a yes for it to happen
full sentinel
That could be interesting
toxic pike
I like it.

You could activate the button on the M.U.L.E and initiate the evacuation phase but only with your current items
toxic pike
And not credits for the objectives or survivors since you didnt actually finished the job
full sentinel
Yeah
last gazelle
Suggestion: remove the drop pod button from the mule OR make it use a different key. People keep calling it in instead of depositing
toxic pike
I think the default should be a different key. Since you only have to press it once it could even be far away from the other keys
But most importantly I think we all agree that abandoning a mission sucks as it us now. So having the chance to at least evac for something would be preferable.
full sentinel
Definitely
boreal lintel
Agreed.
versed nymph
or make the button needed to be pressed by every one that is not downed
wet field
Speaking of Mule, can we please get a better system for following Mule? I spent 45 minutes in a mission and got so much stuff that would have been a huge payoff but because one of the lights lead me to a dead end I didn't get on the pod in time and it was a Mission Fail.
deft pine
different weapons for each class
last gazelle
The 5 min timer should start AFTER the mule arrives
wet field
Yeah
last gazelle
or even 3 or 4 min
wet field
Because while following Mule I noticed more enemies come and on top of having to follow a robot who can access some parts you can't it becomes a real problem
toxic pike
Maybe a spline that connects all the lights it drops? Like the MULE takes the shortest path which can suck but is unavoidable, but I think most people that lose other than not making a path back up the way they came, is mising where the mule went when it enters maze like areas. But that is just my suggestion on something that could be tried to help.
wet field
A lot of the time I'll come to a light and there's either no other light around or Mule went up a wall and I'm out of Platform ammo

I love it when he goes straight up a resupply shaft.

grizzled scroll
Some idea for a hunter dwarf class:
Chargeable Crossbow, charging takes a while but pierces through enemies if fully charged.
Throwing Axes as secondary weapon
Structure Gel cannon as utility, it shoots a block of gel that negates falling damage and slows movement for both friends and enemies
Insect Lures as grenades, can be used to distract smaller enemies for a short period of time
Mines as gadget, they function similarly to remote charges, but with a proximity trigger for enemies

near glacier
you can always check your scan tool
when you're escaping there is sort of a hierarchy of things to follow... first comes molly direction, when that fails because she teleports through a ceiling/wall then comes molly beacons (green lights) and when that fucks you over you resort to your...well, your eyes 😛
also it helps a great deal if you do your spelunking with the escape route always in mind
don't just jump down into a new room and rush to grab all the shinies, dig a nice path/staircase down or use the gunners zipline

About usefull upgrade. Upgrade your backpack. For example you can take more ore but your armor is not so good or your speed deceased
tame kayak
Increased pick swing speed possibly? might make driller less useful though
opal bloom
Feel like a medic type class would be a great addition to the game. At harder difficulties one shouldn't have to rely on finding a lucky Red Sugar spawn imo
near glacier
make driller able to drill through resources fast and collect them all still
lean haven
it's a mix on the medic front
near glacier
yu don't really rely on red sugar
near glacier
you rely on not taking dumb damage, through application of skill and experience 😛
lean haven
but I get why people would want a medic
near glacier
i don't
yuck
😄
to be honest i don't know if the game really needs more classes...just ways to customise them
have like 'archetypes' maybe
tame kayak
Maybe instead of a medic, have different different of consumables (mainly grenades) that you swap to
near glacier
perhaps equippable skills to choose from, with a different selection for each class
lean haven
I could see someone with healing being an option if they had a severely limited healing capability, with how many sources of health there already are in game

otherwise we'd end up swimming in unlimited health

@idle quartz for me Molly just goes through walls like an ethereal being instead of smashing them. Would be nice if she had a mining laser attached to her front

I just had a great idea for a mission type, what about a "rescue" mission. Where the obj is to search for a previous miner crew. And you find them (probably dead, yeah dead) and put their remains into Molly for extraction. You could find them in what could be a homage to Aliens were they are bonded into the cave walls in some Glyphids muck.
merry cliff
so earlier i was talking about fluids, what the devs think about it t?
toxic pike
It would be harder than most missions because just like the Dreagnought extermination missions, you can see the 4 distinct positions of the missing Deep Rock crew. But they are deep down near a ton of enemies.

@toxic pike it's a good idea 👌

I've been thinking of ways to help with replayability
I like that there are several game modes.
The equipment upgrades are good
but I think you should add equipment that needs to be purchased to be usable
rather than just upgrading ones that you already have
You could add biomes/planets or objectives that require the new equipment
Basically, just more stuff to work toward that is not available at the start
👍
stark bloom
I see that people on the steam forums are complaining about excessive kicking and I think it's just a partial (a tiny bit even) fix of the problem, but making the "only friends can join" checkbox remember if it was checked in the last game will definitely decrease the number of necessary kicks before the mission even started.
the people I kicked I only even had to kick because I chose a new mission and forgot to check the box again
gray crater
ok so super annoying; missing 194/200 of my final resource and swarms keep popping in so eventually im out of ammo.
need a 'detector' or something to find that 'last bit'
also, the drill suit should be able to mulch resources, not get stuck on them

it would be cool if you could find dead bodies of dwarves that died in other missions with their name and get resources and ammo off of them

twitch support would be nice, I know frotnight has twitch intigration, so they may have a plugin you could use.
toxic pike
I actually think that its quite cool that the bugs play with their food after they down it. That you can stay down is just the best way for a random map generator to handle player deaths. Otherwise a lot of people would feel the need to abandon the match at some point if they got unlucky and fell down a hole.
sweet hull
but they dont do anything, if noone comes to pick u up u just stay there, prob better to kill u off after a long time without noone picking u up like in l4d
toxic pike
At that point isnt that the same as letting the player leave?
Like the issue here is that L4D has defined level spaces, the reason you can die there and be cool. Is because you know there is a place you will spawn that they will go through while continuing the level. Same cant be said here.

i hope hazard 5 is in the pipeline though
raven crater
I feel as if I have a pretty idea, here it is. (It's actually a few) 1. A sentient enemy type, or more specifically enemy corporations. For instance on hazard 3+ there could be a percentage that enemy miners (AI not players) could spawn in the world. 2. More weapons for the Dwarves. (Maybe like an smg alternative for driller?) 3. Raid like missions, as in where you go in with multiple objectives as in mine X amount of ore, clear out 2 mini bosses then proceed to kill a final boss. Doing so would grant you a percentage at getting a unique armor set depending on the difficulty to show off you and your friends skill in game to others. 4. Daily/Weekly missions that would grant you certain amounts of a random stash material 5. A hazard 5 difficulty that would grant you 125% of stuff.
craggy wren
I think more weapons are going to happen
there's a shooting range and I can't imagine why that'd be there if you can't have different weapons
Also I have two big suggestions:
1: Make the pickaxe mine an area large enough for a dwarf to pass through without having to look up or down. It's just tedious and annoying. Have it behave like a slower, infinite use drill
2: Slight adjustment to the grappling hook. Have the reel go slower, and you maintain more momentum if you let go mid-reel. Also, give the Scout something like the long fall boots, or at least reduce fall damage across the board.
unique halo
get this stupid god damn supporter screen off of my game
craggy wren
yeah just dump me straight into the rig
Oh, also: give the scout a sniper rifle eventually
Also, moon laser (cool idea but will probably never happen) idea: forward bases that you have to set up in missions and let you go to higher level, deeper areas. They'd take the place of your rig before deeper missions and you would have to invest in base defenses and whatnot

rare copper
Don't allow another swarm to attack when you are still trying to survive the swarm from 10 minutes prior. Because you have ran out of ammo and can't find nitra and are having to constantly circle killing 1 mob a minute. Feels like we need some other form of earning or collecting ammo aside from nitra.
Stop making my mouse inverted when I die.... wtf is that.. stop it.
craggy wren
weird, never ran into that issue
idle quartz
If anything the game should kill you quicker, shouldnt survive 10 minutes of a swarm with no ammo
should wipe and start over, the death spiral just takes too long sometimes.
rare copper
unfortunately it started to fade but I just got a pic. Longest mission ever. http://prntscr.com/im7kbt that hour we had a total of 4 supplies. We spent 15-20 minutes with one guy alive. After a while he realised that he could revive someone and couldn't be hit by melee bugs. Yes, you should die. I feel its too easy to zipline camp but it still feels like ammo is far too short sometimes.
idle quartz
yeah that'll be addressed. Ammo shortage is a two fold problem really. Its more often people wasting ammo with huge overkill, or not progressing quick enough to find more in time. Best to fight and move, not camp and fight
floral chasm
Zipline camping makes you waste a ton of ammo, especially with the gunner. I really like the fact that you can run out of ammo fast, it really adds a feeling of urgency to find some Nitra, when I play with friends our Scout just grapples everywhere just to find some so we're prepared for the next waves.
gleaming slate
Make it so you can free yourself from cave leech, things op you can never see it
rare copper
I agree @floral chasm, the problem began when we spawned and there were 2 spitters in the spawn room that down 3 of us in really awkward places. The last guy struggled from that point on until he was just running in circles overwhelmed. If we'd known from the beginning about the revive making you partially immune we could have probably recovered almost instantly.
gleaming slate
Still would be an issue lol, you take fall damage no matter what
Also you can’t currently matchmake with friends on Xbox. You have to do an annoying process of doing quick join a million times hoping there is a spot open to invite your friend, I don’t get it. And every time we try to host no one joins it? Matchmaking needs some love

To anyone that hasn't experienced the 8-man group bug when quick joining, it's fucking awesome. @DEVS please consider expanding the team size to 8. This bug has already proven the efficacy of a larger squad size while maintaining a solid game performance and not losing an ounce of the challenge. 8 players introduces all new challenges for supplies limitations and insane friendly fire. We pulled off several difficulty 3 missions and failed some too. Not quite sure how to reproduce it but it's happened now twice for me and has been the best experience of the game thus far!

Team Action Requests
How about some buttons that let us ask for actions from a team mate, such as a "place turret here" or "gib flare pls" command? A hologram of the requested action would help make things more specifically understandable, like a zipline hologram showing the soldier where his mate wants to get to. Would make it a little easier to perform better teamwork if voice comms aren't possible or desired. A radial menu may be an adequate way to perform this.

Maybe with that, would show you the same HUD that the other characters have, so you can see if you're requesting a zipline that the gunner literally CAN'T reproduce.
I.e., too steep or too far

abillity to toggle the ingame radio during missions
the music is excellent
its a shame only being able to hear it during the queue

Though, I really do hope that there are modular loadout options that allow for even MORE utility in the future. Like allowing longer range ziplines at the cost of 1 ammo cap (high-tension, could call it?) Or steeper angles for the same cost (high-powered?)
Maybe those special grenades that slow the bugs could be switched out to damage-amp, or even shield regen (sloooooow)?
static mirage
Instead of having the scanner show you how much health your teammates have and how much loot you've accumulated by holding it, I think they should keep it for the HUD by default so that we can focus more during our mission and not pull it out just to see

@near glacier u can't keep shutting down our suggestions 😛 the game is so easy right now
near glacier
of course i can 😏
lean haven
@pastel hamlet the problem I'd see with that is enemies can cling to walls, and sometimes you're standing on what is technically the cieling of a room below you
so it could sneak up unseen from the floor below and come through a crack to wreck you

Please add some sort of base customization, it would make it a lot more interesting to join people's bases and tons of more things to unlock

me and my bud have this tactic to lay a zip line down and just sit in the middle and shoot the bugs. only the spiters are a problem and once you kill them its not a challenge. maybe add that some of the smaller bugs can climb across the zip line to attack you
worn storm
i agree
glacial wedge
there should be something that threatens you while you're on a zipline
other than a geyser blowing you off of it
worn storm
one reason flying enemies would eliminate many exploit tactics
glacial wedge
or maybe more physics
eliminate floating chunks
so engineers can't make floating platforms where glyphids can't get

All im saying is it's hard to find your way back because there's like a million things coming at you at once that's all. @zinc spade and when have I ever insulted you ?

You can outrun all the bugs in the way though, unless they spawn in a dug out choke point

Hey guys
I'd love to see a feature in the "Quick Join" that let's you choose a minimum difficulty, but any below that. For example, if I'd pick "Any" as difficulty now, I'd maybe get Hazard 1, which I don't find fun, but it doesn't matter to me if it's hazard 3 or 4
Do you understand what I mean? It'd be a nice addition which I assume isn't a major project to add to the game :)
inner pebble
some sort of checkboxes as a advanced filter for quickjoin would be nice, yes

I also wonder if it is possible to make the M.U.L.E not take shortcuts from dropped resupply pods. The pods create a huge vertical tunnel all the way through the terrain and sometime the M.U.L.E just peaces out and left me wonder which way I came from.

We don't have the power to do make more sorry @steady lynx
A dev will have to in the future

Suggestions of map and planets:
- You can change the planet of the mission or maybe buy another stations in another planets that will have different ores and monsters.
- Different maps that have "better options of dwarves classes", you can use all, but you will put a mechanic like "We need this dwarve in my team to do some thing", like Scout and Engineer to take ores in high places.
- In missions like "destroy 3 boss", you can make a drop of items or treasures when you kill each boss or all of them (Some reward of doing that)
- Maybe Monsters with 2 feets, monsters that can fly, etc....
Suggestions of Items/skilltree:
- You can buy a bigger "backpack" or slot for carrying items or maybe a upgrade in skill tree
- Maybe you can change or or buy a different M.U.L..E for each mission that have pros and cons?
- Treasures places can spawn in the map that can have treasure things lol
Suggestion of Classes
- You need to be wise for choosing classes if you have a big number of them and some betters than others in different biomes, planet, etc...
Medic:
Pros: You can revive friend with a shot of a weapon that only you can have (1, 2 or 3 bullets) and have "medkits" for healing your friends.
Cons: Weapons weak
Master of Weapons
Pros: More health, have "titan fists" and sword
Cons: Don't have range weapons, susceptible a air monsters or acid spiders
Bugs to fix:
- Drop in friend head to denie fall damage
- M.U.L.E sometimes goes inside the terrain
solid dune
@inner pebble they are working on fixing that with the mule going up the supply pod
inner pebble
@solid dune Sweet to hear that, thanks.

Engineer can plug up hole with platform gun though. That can help.

Melee weapons aren't a focus as of now

Iam playing alot of Deep Rock
But its like "again spiders", y know @pure mulch ? lol
And the same ores

Yup, that's the thing with EA. But they're definitely thinking about new enemies, if they don't have it in the works already

I was very sceptical because of all the EA stuff. But this game is actually amazing and I love it too. Managed to convince 3 friends to try it and they got hooked too.
pure mulch
I got at least two friends to buy it as well, and working on more
idle quartz
If dedicated melee weapons are added, expect them to have ammo to (like the good ones from fallout!) effective weapons with no resource doesnt really jive with the games theme. But could have some pretty fun melee weapons that way.
maiden coral
@idle quartz Yes! I totally agree with you 😃
Just dont let it OP and balanced, thats will be ok !
But Im really thinking about "wises choices" y know?
Like, pick 4 Shooters for mission vs 3 bosses
In different biomes or monsters maybe its not good
Y know?
Like a mechanic of thinking twice about a action

Yup, definitely

4 gunner for elimination? Well the scouts grenade can make the boss take extra damage
Driller is good for clearing the mobs he summons and swarms, less effective vs boss
and engineer shotgun is very effective vs dread
near glacier
driller just drills 😏
static mirage
and clears out smaller enemies, most effective against swarmers
but using satchel charges and grenades can deal a huge amount of damage
fathom stag
Driller flamethrower could honestly use a little buff in range frankly.
And width.
Be more reliably in putting enemies on fire too.
fathom stag
Since when tap-firing you occasionally can't even put enemies on fire with the first or second burst.
near glacier
or have an ability to charge up and instantly drill forwards a few metres
fathom stag
Hmm, drill-charge could be a great idea for clearing out lots of mobs too.
static mirage
oh right about rpg-esque abilities, that could be one of them
fathom stag
Honestly the drills need a DPS upgrade.
near glacier
also feel like driller's armour final upgrade is the least useful
static mirage
yeah it deals low damage
near glacier
but it probably helps once you get your flamer fully upgraded too
the drill does have a damage upgrade
static mirage
cya
fathom stag
The drills are, well, drills, they should both deal more damage and perhaps even drill through chitin so it doesn't matter where you attack.
static mirage
aka armor-piercing
near glacier
the more i play driller the more i feel he is a meme character 😂
static mirage

lean haven
Driller's fire immunity is fun for standing in a magma geyser with, and good for not setting yourself on fire with the sticky flames upgrade
static mirage
RAWKNSTOUN
near glacier
his crappy pistol has a damage upgrade that makes it only slightly less crappy, armour gets heat resistance...drills get *melee damage
lean haven
Although the sticky flames don't act as they should and ignite you when you walk through them currently
near glacier
i feel like flame resistance should be wiped and just give him more physical resistance
which would suit him as a more close range/melee dude
and also help when you're drilling to some place and get suddenly surprised in the butt
everyone else can zip, grappel or platform out of that situation if they're caught mining to some place but driller has to just sort of deal with it 😄
maiden olive
I actually think the flame resistance is fine, it's the sitcky flames that could keep burning for a little bit longer
near glacier
i don't think an upgrade that only helps negate the negative effect of ANOTHER upgrade is good game design though tbh
maiden olive
the fire walls could be the the similar "get out of sticky situations" for the zips, platforms and hookshot
eager wave
make the drill ammo = 2 for attack ie 2x slower burn for melee but burn the same or faster for wall drilling
to make it not to powerful
maiden olive
ooh actually that's one neat idea
make the drill do a slightly bigger melee damage, but consume more fuel when doing so
also add the armor pierce that people talked about moments ago
near glacier
i disagree, uniformity is best tbh for a split purpose piece of gear
eager wave
why tho if you add more ammo for the drill people will just drill to extraction every time making it easiler
maiden olive
and also, the idea of using the drill for melee is already there, since there IS an upgrade for melee damage already
near glacier
tbh i feel it should not have ammo/fuel at all, and just work off of the overheat mechanic
lean haven
Why would it cost more ammunition to drill through something softer than the rocks it was made to drill away
near glacier
^
eager wave
thats dumb then theres no reason to explore just drill to everywhere
eager wave
why? because its just a game lol balance is more important that realism
near glacier
you can't just drill randomly and find things
eager wave
we are space dwarfs
near glacier
you find dirt, drill it and get to next cave
you find the tunnel and go through it to reach a cavern etc
drill is only really useful for digging quicker
maiden olive
guys calm down, both points are kinda good enough
near glacier
and chances are, if you can safely dig a straight line to the drop pod without being swarmed and blown up then you would have gotten to the escape pod anyway by running there
who's not calm?
eager wave
you can def drill right to the next area through anywall there is a map btw
near glacier
the map sucks though and has no verticality
eager wave
lol learn to use it better
maiden olive
the map has an insinuated verticality... if that makes any sense
near glacier
and you'll miss stuff in the tunnels on the way there
eager wave
a map zoom out would be nice tho
near glacier
or just get so confused with self made tunnels everywhere
maiden olive
yeah, the self made tunnels are shit
near glacier
there is no 'learn to use it better' it's literally a piece of crap and a waste of time to ever use it
eager wave
i would love another deployable like the resupply that is just like a light
near glacier
the way the game is setup you don't even need to pull up the map to drill to the next room because it's plainly laid out by compacted dirt
eager wave
it would cost nitra but do nothing but be a light
near glacier
there used to be one
maiden olive
there was one @eager wave
eager wave
i know
near glacier
and a turret too
maiden olive
no idea why there isn't anymore
near glacier
but obviously the devs decided against it
lean haven
It made scout and engineer a redundancy is why
eager wave
only a little
maiden olive
maybe, but not to an extreme extent
near glacier
just how basically any of the other classes can make driller player feel redundant in a couple of seconds
eager wave
it still costs alotta nitra and as if read everyone is always complaining about not having ammo lol
near glacier
😄
lean haven
You had a sentry that had more ammo and did more damage than the engineers did, and a floodlight that never ran out of power
eager wave
the sentry isnt good imo
but the flood light is p cool
just make it cost alot
then its fine
near glacier
driller: 'ooh some morkite up in a wall, i'll drill a nice shaft up to it'
engineer+scout or gunner: NOPE, we platformed and grappled/ziplined to it
2 minutes later okay we ran out of supplies let's call in a supply drop
maiden olive
they could make those drops have a fynite ammo
near glacier
make supply drops cost more 😅 or make less nitra in maps
now that's a real suggestion
eager wave
im ok with that i always end my missions with my friends on hazard 3 with like 200 nitra
never needed the ammo
maiden olive
one good way to make the flodlight and the bigger sentry would be they not being unnlimited, just more efficient, as well as only specific classes being able to call them
eager wave
that would be neat
class specific drops
like the engi is the only one that could call the bigger gun
or the scout with the flood light
maiden olive
the scout being the one that lights area callinng the flloodlight, as well as the engineer calling the bigger sentry
eager wave
yup
near glacier
people always call in supply drop at every swarm and before calling in drop pod D:
eager wave
yea
ammo isnt much of a problem untill like hazard 4
but even then i end up with at least another supply drop amount on nitra without using it
maiden olive
more drops could basically solve the problem with nitra being too abundant, with each costing different amounts of nitra
eager wave
tru
near glacier
that'd be really interesting, if scout could only call floodlight, engi could only call sentry, gunner calls in supply drop and driller calls in....welp 😂
maiden olive
the driller could call a sattelite reinforcer, somethinng that "betters" the map that is indeed not so good now
eager wave
yea thats silly
near glacier
implementing an upgrade to the map or anything like that, that you'd have to buy or upgrade
eager wave
if the big drill collected resources faster or with a larger yield
would make driller more fun to play
big drill ie the driller arms i mean
near glacier
i think his drills should by default just let him harvest resources
eager wave
ya it would make it worth it solely for the speed
near glacier
the fact that upon finishing drilling to a resource in the wall you have to then get your slow ass pickaxe out
maiden olive
one "excuse" could be that the drill is tooo pawerfull, so it rather pulverizes the resource instead of colecting it in chunks
near glacier
meanwhile other players see what you're trying to do and just snatch it from you within a couple of seconds just to rub it in -_-
eager wave
make a subclass of resorce that is dust from the driller arms
near glacier
it actually encourages me going away from the team a bit so i can get at resources they can't directly see
eager wave
makes it like 1.2 times the yield or something
lean haven
Get driller's pickaxe upgrade and put their digging to shame
near glacier
hell, gunner can SHOOT the resource and mine it into chunks xD
eager wave
lol
near glacier
driller's pickaxe upgrade is just melee damage like the rest ...
maiden olive
wait... that's the best idea, just listen up...
lean haven
No, his increases dig speed
near glacier
and i swear his pickaxe still somehow does less damage to enemies than the others
lean haven
You break things in 1 less hit
near glacier
🤔
eager wave
that would be cool make the driller arms an upgrade that allows it to mine resource
