Everyone else gets a damage boost
near glacier
no that can't be right
lean haven
It is
near glacier
i refuse to believe
maiden olive
the idea of the driller's mega drill being able to mine in powder of the resource isn't that bad, but then he could have his exclusive drop about that
eager wave
honestly just allowing the driller arms to collect would make that class much more viable
oh ya
like a refiner or something
to make the dust into chunks or wutever
maiden olive
something that allows to condense back the powder into chunks
eager wave
ya that would be cool
near glacier
@lean haven in literally every squad i've been in while i played driller i was like 'I SWEAR driller's pickaxe does less melee damage' 😂
eager wave
im all for more class distinction
maiden olive
but one BIG thing that should be kept available for every class is the drop for ammo
otherwise the gunner would be irreplaceable
lean haven
Yeah, it feels like an odd choice when he already digs faster than anyone with the drills to make his pickaxe more efficient
eager wave
yea thats why i was like sayin the class specific "supply drop" would be like another add
just costs more for the class one
makes the nitra more "scarce"
near glacier
they should remove his pickaxe entirely
eager wave
making the group need to think what they really need
maiden olive
the thing is, the drill having fuel, is what makes the need for the pickaxe
eager wave
yea
maiden olive
and I still like the idea of the fuel
near glacier
but the right click doesn't use ammo
maiden olive
it gives it a bit more "drama"
near glacier
i don't think i've once ran out of drill fuel
people call in supply drops so damn much
even when i pass on a supply drop and let a dude take 2 of the 4 resupplies
i'm fine till they call in the second supply drop 😂
maiden olive
the sense that you can use it to dig, to kill enemies and to collect resources, so to have a limited amount of use for that is something that gives it a greater sense of fear for it running out
eager wave
does it have armor pen the drill arms?
maiden olive
and again, the bigger amount of drops with different costs of nitra would make the whole "drops are too easy" a smaller possibilities
eager wave
yea
maiden olive
and no, for now the drill doesn't have armor pierce
eager wave
that would make melee driller awesome for the swarm
maiden olive
but it does have a mellee upgrade
eager wave
kill the greens quick
lean haven
Strap some pickaxes to those drills and let's have a party
A sort of spirit bomb of pickaxes
near glacier
Pickaxes with a shovel head on top as well as a pickaxe head
maiden olive
lol, it's a pickaxe on-a pickaxe-on a pickaxe...
so let's sum it up...
more drops costing nitra, each being exclusive for a specific class
for the scout the floodlight, with a finite battery, this battery being rechargeable only once every "supply pod" call
maiden olive
good idea, but let's continue...
for the engineer the bigger sentry, it having a bigger damage output and a bigger ammo count, but with a limmited use, being able to be reloaded only 1 time every supply drop
eager wave
i def want the more nitra options
i cant wait for the time someone is like i called in a flood light and someone has to yell
"swarm and we dont have nitra for ammo~!!!!"
then ya die :3
maiden olive
for the driller, the biggest update...
near glacier
I feel some way to utilise all the flora in the caves could be cool
Like not just the objectives ones and the elevator plant
maiden olive
the drills being able to powderize resources, that can then call a drop that condenses these powders back into chunks, but with a small waste, for the exchange of being an infinite running drop (but stationary)
lean haven
Maybe be able to collect an elevator plant and move it to another location for use
eager wave
that would be helpful
lean haven
But it requires a team effort
near glacier
Like maybe some shroom that makes you go mad with rage and get melee damage boost for a while but you can't switch to any gun or tool other than your pick :D
lean haven
You all have to carry it at the same time to its location
maiden olive
a berserk 'shroom?
near glacier
We already got the red sugar for healing so yeah :D
idle quartz
add Mithril to the game. But call it "Mythreal"
it used to be a myth but then they found out it existed 😄
maiden olive
lol, nice one
winged grail
Would love to see unlockable weapon skins!
sick merlin
could engies get some form of mitigation for sentry ammo loss on praetorians? it doesnt have to be perfect but watching a sentry waste 60 rounds on a praetorian's armor is a little depressing
winged grail
Dash. I think they should have an upgrade for armor piercing rounds that do 50% dmg on praets
For the sentry
ornate nimbus
for the swarm event - should show how many ememies left
winged grail
Engineers could benefit from a jetpack. Give it fuel and overheating to limit its power.
The platforms are good but they're lacking the power of other's utilities.
idle quartz
some tools are just quicker, or compliment others
they can get you DOWN faster than anything

I think it would be cool that as you drill down into the planet that is in itself a mission, or piece of a mission. Of course the current drill that drops you off and picks you up wouldn't work. A bigger one with a platform, with perhaps some sentry turrets and several ammo drop options if it takes a long time/a lot of stuff to kill.
gleaming slate
We need a chopper gunner killstreak🧐
violet swift
Would be cool to see a new game mode called "conveyor belt" Where you gotta set up a series of conveyor belts and protect them with turrets, linking them to certain rich area's of ore for large collection, Sort of like an Endless mode that gets larger and harder quickly, branching off further paths that need to protect.

<@&257786783666929665> Could you please open up a "Bug Discussion"-Channel? To discuss if somebody else had a bug, too, so that the "bugreports" actually stay clean?
static mirage
´ that'd be super helpful
grand light
Actually you could need a bot here, like for correct bug report posting and stuff, but that's just my two cents 😄
grim escarp
@grand light That's a good suggestion - I'll take it up with the mods and see if this a how to do it
(this is becoming too spammy for us to follow)
near glacier
I think a storyline series of missions would be fun (being sequential but optional)
sage swallow
could we have the option to chose what monitor we want to run the game on ? And thanks for the 21:9 format 😃
static mirage
<@&257786783666929665> Some people are complaining about the gunner and driller not having beards by default, accusing them not being real dwarves. Will you think about it or just leave it at that?
I'm fully aware that you can add beards to them at a later date by purchasing them but yeah
grim escarp
That is our decision, yes. It will be left like that.
idle quartz
^some others have criticized the pointy ears as being terrible on dwarfs
near glacier
a feedback bot like the one in the Slay the Spire discord would be useful i think
reef stone
make the master volume effect the intro splash volume when you start the game up, those are so loud I have to take my headset off to avoid tinnitus at their current volumes
grand light
@grim escarp That's exactly why I'm suggesting it 😄 Also thought it might get too spammy for you.

eager wave
There should be a mech you can get via a nitra drop
it could be like another class for bigger boss fights
you could customize the arms so like you could have a drill arm
or a hook arm
or a mini gun
two of them you would have to choose
near glacier
Would be cool to have monsters nest (big open spaces with special decorative elements depending on the type of monster that live in it) that you can find randomly in alternative path inside of which you will find a boss wandering around.
And you will get different bonuses depending on what type of boss you killed.
And the type of nest you will find will be like the crafting material meaning in some caves there will be a higher chance of finding a specific type of nest.
@Moophan#8813 Like in Starbound ?
eager wave
didnt play starbound
but sure
like you could combine 2 classes items on the mech
grapple and drill or wut have you
gun and platform gun
should cost a ton of nitra for it
near glacier
wish there was some currency the boss type bugs drop
charred mauve
A good idea maybe is when a host disconnects from the server, the host pass to another player or mamaybe something like "mission failed" for at least recieve experience (Sorry for my bad english)
I'm sure that is already suggested
shy stone
it would be good if you were playing with 2 or 3 (maybe for 3 it's too much) players that you get the assistance droid.
wispy cedar
I wonder how long til the shooting rang, Abyss Bar, and mission control are going to become available?
idle quartz
less players already reduces the difficulty, drone is only for solo as it does things other players can, especially revives
near glacier
I think the intro scenes should have a lot lower volume
simple imp
One thing I noticed was that the ziplines that the Gunner could set up are virtually bugproof against all but ranged attacks. If someone goes back and forth on the ziplines, then they are safe from the majority of bug attacks. Perhaps add a bug that can climb the ropes, or add that ability to existing bugs? Sorry if this has already been mentioned before, I just joined the Discord this morning. I also apologize if this had belonged in Bug Reports, as I didn't think of it as a bug.
Also, this is offtopic, but the conveyor belt idea someone else mentioned, I like the sound of that idea. Minus the endless and turret addition parts.
oak forge
Can we get a way to switch classes at resupply pods? I was in a game where two people looked at the class list and decided to join as a second and third (deadweight) engineer.
simple imp
Eh, on the ziplines, I say just let the bugs climb on them. Durability's a little too harsh.
fathom stag
Letting bugs climb on them would make them a major, incredibly dangerous liability though.
Not to mention hinder dwarves getting back to the drop pod.
And durability would NOT go well with not having infinite ziplines!
simple imp
That's the point. Going up a tunnel to the drop pod is also dangerous, and yet that is frequently done. And plus, currently they're too safe to be on, with little risk. However, I do agree with you on durability; however, infinite ziplines would make both the grappel and the drill obsolete. Why go scout and use a grappel, when you can make a 2 way zipline? Why dig a staircase, when you can make a 2 way zipline?
balmy perch
i have a fix to something that is not allowed to talk about here can i dm someone to talk about it??

Mean an exploit?

And why would it not be allowed to be talked about here?
If it's the ziplines, or the scout invincibility of cheating death, everyone knows of those.

Able to be either female or male dwarves? I mean come on if we got women like Zarya from overwatch I'm sure dwarven women are able to dig for minerals and stomp bugs into dust with the rest of the men and it would be another option for customization as well

the game needs some alteration off difficulty beyond spiders being bullet sponges

theyre too easy to kite
frail raft
I would absolutely love it if the Jury-Rigged Boomstick had a reload animation for when you only fire one shot, so that it would keep the shot that wasn't fired.
oblique rock
I believe the amount of damage enemies deal gets altered with difficulty
tender ember
yes it does
but their backswing/movement doesnt
so once u know the pattern of how they attack
theres no threat
oblique rock
I don't feel like increased attack speed would be all that interesting, but if those spiders started moving faster, that would be quite terrifying for swarms of them
it would make those slowing grenades for scouts more useful
tender ember
those are already super good
u can always just got the l4d route and allow one zombie to be faster than each survivor
to get in front of them and slow them down
oblique rock
I agree but it would make them much more necessary
tender ember
eh thats kind of the point of class based game right
u shouldnt be able to pick w/e u want and just stomp through hazard 4 because each class is already faster tahn the aliens so u can kite indefinitely
toxic pike
<@&257786783666929665> I think the idea that has been circulating of reintroducing the special drop like floodlights and turret as class specific (everyone is saying let scout calla floodlight, and engineer the turret) is awesome. So I got a suggestion, how about balancing them by making them have health (varies depending on the drop), and lets glyphids attack them. And since nobody has suggested more drops to cover all 4 classes. How about gunner gets a larger drop that comes down almost instantly and deals a ton of damage to all it falls on and then blows up (for things not to aggro it more than anything else, but also because I like explosion). And driller could have a drop that lures enemies in with more health than the other and then cover the surrounding area on fire when it dies (wouldn't be too broken because it would cost a drop to pull aggro off the dwarves). All this of course independent of resupply since everyone needs it, specially solo players.
tender ember
theres also just
wayyy to much nitra on the maps u dont have the mule on
when u land and instantly have 200 nitra it rly takes the intensity out of the game
lofty lantern
Suggestion: Challenge Modes.
Mission Control have gotten special Contracts for only the most hardy of dwarves. Some Include such as a cave system which a special crystals that disables head Lights but flairs still work. There are also given a special version of "Molly" (The blue larger version) It's Bigger, Slower, and can hold 16 ammo boxes (3 for each dwarf) However if take up the challenge the resupply option will be disabled and you only got the 16 ammo boxes left. And there are many other challenges you must endure but the rewards are worth it...or are they?
exotic anchor
A confusing thing about returning to the evacuation capsule:
When MULE reaches it, Mission Control guy says that «It would leave with or without you», but when you do not make it, mission fails, even if you've collected everything.
Why is that this way? Maybe then change this particular line, so it wouldn't be confusing? Because it sounds like company doesn't care if you'll make it out or not, and suddenly, fail?
toxic pike
@exotic anchor I do find it odd, that everything tells us they dont care. But call it a failed mission.
The did get what they wanted
exotic anchor
No, it doesn't. You can see on posters and everywhere «Do not leave any dwarf behind». So it's really strange.
toxic pike
You dont get a mission failed for leaving someone behind though.
exotic anchor
Yeah, you need just 1 guy
You'll just not get the bonus at the end
It's like ~150 per person or less
toxic pike
And that is the point, that wasn't a failed mission even if you left a dwarf behind.
I think solo run were you die after drop pod came in should say, KIA or MIA. Depending on what Deep Rock files it at.
But not a failed mission
lofty lantern
Mission Control: Listen up team. The Glyphids have been growing in mass by the hour and our other teams are getting heavily swarmed with some barely escaping with barely their limbs attached. your task is to go into the heart of it all. one of their "Nests" Were a queen is waiting for your bullets. You may think "What's in it for me" Well simple. Shooting "ALOT" Of bugs and the Queens are known to eat a ton of minerals for some odd reasons so they are like double...no triple...Much MUCH bigger then your ordinary loot bug. So in short. Go into the nest. Stomp a lot of bugs. Kill the queen. Get Paid. Then once that is over just hit the button and a drop pod will come and extract you Oh and one more thing. Fill free to collect any minerals you find with in the nest nothing says like home decoration like streams of Morkite
toxic pike
Morkite is mined to be converted into ale. 
lofty lantern
Did not know that. but it's good to know
But i mean let's be honest besides those Brood Nexus were are they coming from? There's got to be something making them? Like a queen or idk
I mean what is a Brood Nexus anyways. it could be an extension of something much larger some were
toxic pike
I would say yes, considering you can also see them hatch from eggs laying about. Brood Nexus could technically be like a nursery for recently hatched glyphids, over a true brood.
lofty lantern
And we need like a true boss to this game anywyas
toxic pike
The true boss is at an office making money from your hard earned ore.

craggy wren
ok so after a 55 minute solo hazard 3 mission, few suggestions:
First, ADJUST THE SWARM TIMER. Like, if you finish a swarm ("finish" could be mission control doing his "clean em up" line) there should be a serious grace period before another swarm shows up.
ADJUST PRAETORIAN SPAWNS. Praetorians aren't that awful but they're annoying and tedious to fight, especially solo. Especially when there's six of them and you're a Scout and trying to rely on BOSCO's pants-on-head level intelligence to shoot them in the giant glowing weak point.
Other deployables instead of just supplies. Like a turret or floodlight, have 'em cost variable amounts of nitra. After a while you end up with a BUNCH of extra nitra, to the point that you're calling down a bunch of supply drops, more uses for it would be nice.
Also, for the Driller: I recommend increasing the drill damage, decreasing the heat time, increasing the fuel capacity and letting him use the drills on ores. As it stands he's definitely the weakest class.
idle quartz
objective, no hes not >:|
i would like to use drills on ores though
but thats more qol
craggy wren
I mean, eh?
his flamer when upgraded is scary
but his drills (read: his class) are too weak atm
imo the scale of good to mediocre goes driller > scout > engineer > gunner
flat bough
So here is a suggestion that kinda brewed up in my head last game but could work as a content expansion: Community built Regional Mining Bases. Could use them to unlock a bunch of additional mission types such as Establish Mining Base, Mining Base Defense, Restore Comms with Mining Base. Could have secondary Outpost missions such as Establish Outpost and Outpost Investigation. These could introduce some new terrain setups within existin biomes and introduce Infested Dwarf Miners. Poor victims of brainbug parasites and driven to kill the players. Could have it so that part of Mining Base Defense you can have a Titan class creature to serve as a big boss for players to fight against. The mining bases could also serve as social zones when not under attack.
flat bough
Also a friend of mine suggested a mission type where you go collect the resources from the MULE of a team that failed in their mission
craggy wren
but I do like the idea of forward operating bases
flat bough
eh I just look at it that variety is good
craggy wren
maybe give the driller the ability to build stuff with rockrete, walls and platforms and whatnot
flat bough
cannot just fight bugs
craggy wren
I mean you CAN
flat bough
I think that is more Engineer then driller
idle quartz
Driller player just needs more imagination and less fear!
craggy wren
but then there's even less reason to pick driller over engineer
I love the driller
it's my second favorite class
but I prefer to toby macguire my way around
flat bough
Driller is incredibly useful
flat bough
I mean you could give it some more tools to make its job even faster/better
craggy wren
even if they just make driller able to drill ores, maybe give him a bigger bag
idle quartz
everyones gonna get 'stronger' when they get more upgrades and stuff
craggy wren
I know I know
idle quartz
^yeah im all for a bigger bag for the driller
ALSO
i think he should crush swarmers by jumping on them.
just for lols.
craggy wren
goomba stomp
idle quartz
his a big boi
flat bough
maybe climbing claws? or is that more like a scout thing...
craggy wren
I mean the drill is basically already a climbing tool
just dig a bit into a wall and then dig a ramp
flat bough
sometimes the walls are just not thick enough for him to make a stair

Suggestion: Hazard Level 5
magic idol

uneven pendant
Yes

Hazard Level 5
flat basalt
------------------------------------------------New classes:
Medic_ Given a secondary pistol that heals teammates and can poison enemies if you happen to miss your teammate, and AOE effect healing pool that is stationary and can be placed down for however long. And maybe a crowd control based weapon? but if not just a normal assault rifle
Defender- given a very powerful shotgun as a primary and a secondary that grants additional total sheild to teammates, also give him sheilding abilities like a bubble sheild that the whole team can be in that can take either a certain amount of damage or lasts a certain amount of time and can still be shot through by teammates.
Trapper/builder- Given a gunner type pistol as primary but has moutable machine guns as a secondary ability that can sheild you but takes limited damage before it doesnt sheild you. Can build traps(maybe Ice traps or something like in evolve when they could trap huge amounts of things in a bubble or teather) and then given very powerful explosive to kill what is caught in trap
flat basalt
--------------------------------------------Level Ideas:
Raids: go through a series of missions in one large overall mission that is very challanging and offers super rare loot along the way. such as destinies form that gives treasure at the end of levels and gives good loot along the way(maybe some special items at the end for extra rare armor?)
Payload: Escort a bomb payload through a huge cave with multiple obstacles yuou must destry out the way while also taking hoards of enemies on. destination would maybe be a core of some sort to destry the whole cave?(maybe show a cool cinematic of the cave you just went through getting destructed becasue the art style of this game is fantastic)
Surface missions: I dont really know about this, im not even sure if i would like this becasue the whole premise is to be deep and underground.
Pure defence levels: maybe a human executive was somehow lost in the caves and you must protect as a million things come at you
Engineer: either needs smarter and more powerful sentry guns or needs waaaaayyy more ammo to load them because they burn way to fast and most of the time are wasting it on the shells of exoskeleton enemies where they cant be damaged( I love engineer easily my favorite but i would like to see a little buff to the sentries and if you could make them look cooler some how) heck even just add a hard upgrade to get for them and i would be realllyyy happy
driller: Reduce the heat on driller, it is already a pretty underpowered character so might as well make him a pure utility/ crowd control guy
warm narwhal
I disagree with the sentry turret buff. All it means is that your team needs to prioritize exoskeletons or kite the creature into a position where the turrets are shooting the rear.
flat bough
I think for Engineer a better option for Sentry turrets would be to provide multiple kinds that could be deployed but retain the 2 turret limit
oh an idea for the driller perhaps of a replacement pickaxe: Power Fist
given it a recharging ability that when ready allows him to bash a target it and damage it regardless of its armor, or blast a huge chunk in terrain
could help for dealing with things like praetorians and dreadnoughts
flat basalt
the driller buff sounds like a nice fix
but i feel like we should get like 600-800 ammo for sentrys
or atleast in a future upgrade
flat bough
true they do burn ammo real fast
flat basalt
what kind of snetrys do you think and what do you think about the different levels
oblique rock
I like the driller as he is currently, I just feel the damage buff on drill is not a good upgrade, should be replaced with something more beneficial to mining
flat basalt
agreed
flat bough
hmm maybe laser turrets that have a timed life but slowly recharge when not in use?
umbral walrus
I think turrets are fine right now
flat basalt
almost like a heat recharge? so they overheat then recharge relatively slowly
flat bough
yeah
flat basalt
do minor damge to exoskeletons maybe
lusty raven
The turrets are good for a role that doesn't involve mainline defense. They're like flank defenders more then a gunner replacement
umbral walrus
I think Gunners pistol is way to good compared to all other pistols
flat basalt
yeah
lusty raven
gunner pistol has no ammo: that's its balancing factor
flat bough
Gunner's pistol is to make up for the ammo hog nature of the main gun
tidal loom
Hey dev team, just wanted to say i'm enjoying the game a lot so far! I do have a suggestion for the Scout, being that often I find I will grapple just to fall and not get the minerals I want. With that, I suggest perhaps having some boot attachment to stick to a surface after a grapple
umbral walrus
^
flat basalt
that would make the engineer platforms useless thp
lusty raven
It's also the opposite of the chaingun. Gives the gunner the ability to deal with targets without burning the 50ish ammo it takes to get halfway accurate with the chaingun
flat basalt
that dynamic would be lost
tidal loom
It could be useful in solo play
flat basalt
maybe a seperate solo play abaility would make sense
tidal loom
(Well, you can)
flat basalt
i use my platforms often with my scout
flat bough
well if there was a loadout system I would swap out that platform gun with the zipline
tidal loom
^
flat basalt
forsure
umbral walrus
Platform gun + scout is dream team
tidal loom
Platform gun could be something else
lusty raven
For solo you've got drillerbot even
umbral walrus
@flat basalt you said earlier a medic class
flat basalt
without that its just something you bridge with for excapes
flat basalt
yeah like the idea i typed about with an aoe ability and a heal gun
lusty raven
I feel like the medic should operate off red sugar though. Avoiding that mechanic for a greater focus on nitra would be kinda, eh.
flat basalt
place something down and the tam can stand it it
umbral walrus
Yeah
flat basalt
but i was thinking a heal gun that is like bulletsd you can shoot a freind to heal him like 1/4 of their health
limited ammo so it isnt overpowered
but a defender class is what i know they will eventually add its just what it is going to be like
gleaming slate
Currently not a huge fan of the healing system. Red sugar seems way to scarce and a somewhat annoying mechanic to get health. There has been times where we just down ourselves to come up w more health cause can’t find red sugar lol
flat basalt
exactly
they should keep it scarce and ass a medic class
*add
or make it very available with no medic class
gleaming slate
Yea, medic def seems like an obvious addition that they might get around too. I think something should be done w the healing system tho for sure.
lusty raven
I think that if medic operated with red as its resource, it would be multiplicitive, in order to nullify the scarcity in the first place.
flat bough
could make it so that red sugar can be collected for later use
flat basalt
maybe give med a robot drone that can only get red sugar for him to use for heal gun and heal AOE placement device?
gleaming slate
🤔
lusty raven
^A lot of redsugar scarcity is its placement
flat bough
so many placed in ceilings
or high up on walls
kinda wish blue crystal had a use instead of just light
flat basalt
they should make it so you can mine sugar and deposit for later use in the mule
gleaming slate
Aoe heal gadget plus heal/dps gun that could also switch firing modes for like 2 revive darts that can res teammates that fall down a giant hole 😂
The meta
flat basalt
that actually sounds like a good idea
gleaming slate
Doesn’t it tho
flat bough
hmm
flat basalt
but then one character would basically get removed from the game because medic would take over the meta
no rez tho
thats a little much i feel like
gleaming slate
No matter what they said they’re putting other classes in so def group comp will be varied throughout time
flat basalt
they should either change the healing system or add a medic
flat bough
give everyone the ability to store red sugar
which is used up when they take damage
sure medic would be handy for times when you are out of sugar
and a ranged revive is also handy
but medic would not take over the meta then
on a different subject
flat basalt
id rather see a blanced defender class than a op medic
flat bough
kinda wish bosco had some internal storage so that when you tell him to mine something it does not fall to the ground
flat basalt
defender or miner/builder classs
flat bough
and when he is done mining he transfers it to you
gleaming slate
Yea I don’t want an op medic but I still would like to see change to healing system
Been a lot of times where me and my team can’t find any or have used them up and no more supply drops and die. Or your in a huge battle w a swarm and you see a red sugar on top of the ceiling that u can’t get and die lol
flat basalt
yeah
thats why a medic would be very nice to have
or maybe have a defender class with a bubble sheild with a minor heal???
gleaming slate
On lower difficulties it’s not even an issue but as you bump it up it gets quite annoying having to search for sugar
flat basalt
like very minor when your in it
eager vortex
hi everyone...maybe it came out before, but any plans to allow host migration? it can be frustrating to trash everything collected in a 40 min game if the host crashes
flat bough
thinking about it again I think bosco needs a hold position command
gleaming slate
That and currently on Xbox you can’t seem to matchmake with friends. You can do quick join when on solo but as soon as you get a buddy in it gets greyed out.. so sadly we have to 2 man missions a lot because matchmaking won’t let us find a team
flat basalt
i think maybe a miner class with a drone that can store little amounts of materials then trnsfer to you would be nice
hazy flower
has anyone proposed different weapon selection for each class? or weapon attachments/customization?
flat basalt
i know the devs are thinking about that
gleaming slate
They need a class w hypnotize gun that can shoot dreadnoughts and turn them friendly😂
flat bough
yeah, loadout system
flat basalt
different variations
hazy flower
i was thinking of a sniper/dmr for scout
flat basalt
what about a class with a gun that can shoot and mine things down for you??
they would just fall but that would solve the high up things issue?
lusty raven
Yes, as to never need to use engi ever
flat basalt
true
flat bough
and completely remove most of the reason for driller to exist
weapons in general should be combat focused
though I would not mind mining satchels being shaped charges made for making tunnels rather then blasting enemies
lusty raven
Driller satchels should be that, shaped.
zinc trellis
Why don’t you just add a medic role.
gleaming slate
What do U mean by shaped
flat bough
shaped charges direct the blast
flat basalt
i think it should literally make a tunnel
flat bough
so instead of spherical
flat basalt
yeah like a focused blast
flat bough
its mainly aimed one direction
gleaming slate
Ah
flat bough
commonly used throughout the globe for various things
flat basalt
if not that a placeable laser driller that you have veyr limited of and would mainly be used for path finding to high tings and directional mining
likely this idea wouldnt work but just brainstorming
flat bough
I think another upgrade for the driller would probably be a minimap kind of thing
flat basalt
i think a DOOM type map should be made
lusty raven
There needs to be some way to handle stuff on the ceiling, though. You can handle walls with an engi/scout, but ceilings are just kinda like 'well fuk'
gleaming slate
I wish the scanner was backed up a bit to see more of the map
It seems super zoomed in
flat basalt
maybe a special ability where it sis holographic and can be placed down to show very discrete levels of the map
would help with tunnel finding a bit
gives basic cardinal direction but nothing super discrete that would make the game easy like materials
flat bough
alternatively give the driller a little turret or drone that they can direct to keep a spot marked
gleaming slate
Agreed on ceiling
That and I can never see cave leeches even w scout flares up and get destroyed every time
That is like the main cause of death in deep rock
flat basalt
petition to make cave leeches more noticable
gleaming slate
Where the stat sheet at devs
flat bough
sometimes I wish flares could be used like decoys to attract critters to them
gleaming slate
I sign that petition
flat bough
like throw out a flare to trick the cave leech to go after it
flat bough
I like to think a trapper class would be more suited to going after big targets
flat basalt
teather traps attraction things and then a decent explosive device
flat bough
earlier I posted an idea for community made mining bases that could get attacked by titan class monsters
gleaming slate
Deep rock monster hunter 2018
flat basalt
and then like a shotgun of somesort
flat bough
hey I would not mind some deep rock monster hunter vanity
see a driller decked out in Dreadnought armor
gleaming slate
That’d be cool. Hopefully they get creative w vanity
Although it is not a big concern. I want the game to be flush w content before any cosmetics etc
flat basalt
forsure^
flat bough
yeah
hmm
perhaps a mission unlocked after so much mining in a zone where a large swarm is developing?
flat basalt
Im thnking a of a clan type thing where you can have a base of some sort and just upgrade it with your boys
flat bough
sorta like elimination only instead of dreadnoughts its a super swarm
my community made mining bases idea included outposts
flat basalt
like destiny's clan xp but more deep and gives rewards and upgrades a mining base of some sort
flat basalt
yeah
flat bough
though tbh my community made mining bases and outposts which could be destroyed/infested (creating related missions) was based off of the original ideas behind Firefall and EM-8ER
hmm a thought
what if we allowed players to upgrade bosco?
perhaps replace his current pathetic claw arms with drills, the ability for him to store materials internally, and upgrade his AI chip to recognize weakspots?
winged marsh
I think just basic upgrades would be enough, I feel they don't want players too heavily dependent on Bosco
flat bough
well tbh bosco feels pretty useless
and often times gets in the way
I just kind use him as an extra turret with infinite ammo
winged marsh
That's just the AI being funky
Also adds to the feeling since the Dwarfs seem like they hate the MULE lol
flat bough
he digs stupidly slow, the minerals he mines just falls to the ground and bounce randomly
nah
the dwarves just hate their job
winged marsh
I'd love if he collected what he mined as an upgrade
distant crystal
flat bough
which is why I suggested the upgrades
winged marsh
Yeah I totally get them
flat bough
I mean if a person wants to invest in upgrades for only solo play why not?
winged marsh
Just I also feel the Devs don't want people too dependent on Bosco where 1 person with Bosco feels better than 2 actual players together
flat bough
you would have to give bosco some pretty OP upgrades to do that
and really damn good AI
one suggestion I put into the survey
is for uncommon/rare missions
that have higher then normal amounts of the crafting materials
@distant crystal something I noticed is that Hazard bonus applies to crafting materials
grizzled snow
Will we get interactivity for Twitch as well? Or do you plan on having an/opening the existing API so we could program our own interactivity?
lofty lantern
I have a suggestion. How about the ability to turn off upgrades like for an example the bigger magazine in the gunners minigun
idle quartz
^its in the options. Reset 😉
lofty lantern
Did not know that was even an option
idle quartz
yeaah back from testing
lofty lantern
But will it reset the cost aswell? I Don't wanna have to grind out the minerals to get it again...or the gold
lofty lantern
.< Darn you for almost tricking me haha
Dose anyone else the gunner should have an auto cannon as an alternate weapon for the mini gun?
idle quartz
yes
lofty lantern
And you know what i mean something like this http://www.ordtech-industries.com/2products/gunships/XG/23mm_cannon.jpg
Packs one hell of a punch but as a bit of a shorter firing speed and has less ammo
idle quartz
if the driller can dual wield drills i dont see why gunner can get two of those 😛
near glacier
When you look out the window in the station, nothing is moving. You should animate at least the space backdrop to make it look like we're in orbit.
Gunner doesn't need to take down aircraft
That's why he doesn't have two of those
lofty lantern
Infact i think the driller needs to have an auto pick axe as an option to replace his two drills. It's slower then his drills has less fuel and makes a smaller hole but it allows him to collect resources. Infact why can't the driller have upgrades to carry more resources it would be perfect for him
flat bough
thats an autocannon
idle quartz
wrong john whoops.
lofty lantern
No worries
flat bough
I kinda would like either a pick upgrade or an alternative to the pick that produces bigger holes
lofty lantern
@near glacier im not suggesting he takes out air craft but i mean. i find the minigun is good for taking out smaller bugs i mean the minigun can do that but unless your one hell of a shot you are going to be wasting a lot of ammo. and yes he dose have those charges but he only can carry 3 of them at a time. i think the gunner should have a minigun for dealing with smaller enemies like swarmer and warriors and an autocannon for the tanks and enemies on the walls like acid spiters and webslingers
near glacier
If gunner can deal with praetorians and dreadnaughts, engineer becomes worthless
lofty lantern
I Can fix that. Give the engineer an alterative turret like a rocket turret or a flamethrower turret
idle quartz
decent vs praetorians actually, just dab them and let them burn 3-4 seconds
ignores armor
a little bit of fuel can spread a lot of burn
near glacier
Your team will still waste ammo and take your kill
idle quartz
only if they overkill, like sometimes people do with det packs
near glacier
Flamethrower should work like in pokemon, a burned pokemon has its attack power reduced.
idle quartz
where are we connecting this game to pokemon? x3
gray crater
yeah basically, I'm maxed out and I can see all the gold and statues n stuff; my friend in the picture there was looking at something a fair bit more... barren.
flat bough
how would gunner being better at killing dreadnoughts invalidate engineer?
near glacier
Because pokemon is the only game in which burns affect damage.
And it's a nice feature that would work well here.
flat bough
cause it seems to me that Engineer would become better for dealing with swarms so gunner can focus on the big guys
gray crater
@near glacier not true.
near glacier
Digger would be able to apply debuffs and dots.
idle quartz
i'd rather damage amp on flamethrower similar to scout grenade

fillingfloor2 affects the zeds if burned they get feared, and stop atacking altogether

if given line of sight of a dreadnought the gunner can mow down it's weak point and the charges deal tons of damage

Q2) Can you make turrets become drones as a future upgrade. Doesn't make sense to have stationary turrets when you move 95% of the game.
Like this following you around

Just did a 40 min solo mining expedition as 
and it FAILED. Why? Because while extracting to the drop pod way to many enemies spawned and i was overwhelmed by the amount of them. In addition to that, I was stuck in a way to high vertical generated 'tube' so I had also trouble getting up there... 😡
It was easy to mine all the materials and survive the waves but the extraction is way to hard solo. Reduce the enemy spawnrate or increase the time to get out of there!
And try to make high vertical caves a bit more comfortable to climb up or less high, not every class has good climbing skills!
And its way too punishing to lose all your hard earned ressources after you died, though the MULE is in the drop pod already. Make it 50% less ressources and it would not be completely for nothing. 😢
flat bough
I had a 2 hour mission fail for similar reasons
near glacier
You failed the mission due to your own mistakes tbh
Enemies are super easy to just run past and then kite
Vertical chasms can be navigated by all, you just have to use your head and make an escape route ahead of time instead of ignoring the fact that although you can easily drop down into a place, you're PROBABLY gonna need a way to quickly get back out of there

Suggestion #2:
I really like that we can turn the headlight on and off
but it feels kind of useless to have it turned off
maybe a battery function so that you'd need to be careful with when you want to use it and when to use glow-things?
warm narwhal
But its range is shite, its really only useful within like 3 meters. Last thing I want is for it to ALSO be limited.
The player NEEDS to have a general awareness of his immediate surroundings.
@near glacier I bet you play Driller and nothing else.
olive crane
No pls no battery for the headlights... They are already too weak and just a little addition to the flares.
flat bough
frankly the headlights could use some buffing
iron mulch
yeah maybe increase the range greatly but limit use?

A 3d map would be awesome. Something to pan around and set markers. The current 2d scan map should be alway visible in one corner of the screen.

iron mulch
oh
olive crane
Hell yea elevators would have saved my ass last round
iron mulch
I got an idea
remember
the huge floodlight thing
what if we had a small version, much like the supply drop
but that gave us little lamps like maybe 3 lamps per person
that were permanent and gave some light
spending nitra for light would be nice
olive crane
But this way the scout would become some what obsolete...
iron mulch
yeah that's the problem
but scout lights last for like 30 sec and I hate not having some really long-time light
like maybe those lights could be really small and expensive but permanent
flat bough
except flares last 30 sec as well
iron mulch
and takes like 5sec to place
flat bough
well the non scout ones
olive crane
Scouts flares should last at least 60 seconds
iron mulch
yeah that'd be great
iron mulch
thing is
I really like the idea that we're down isolated in some cave
limited resources but can be refilled for a price

they need a buff imo

Yup. Basic Flares are to equal

though I would not mind the option of being able to plant flares into a wall you are next to for basic flares...

And as an Engineer main
I'd love to be able to build different stuff than just platforms

The Engineer really needs different turrets as sidegrades

Suggestion #3: Ever feel bad for killing loot bugs? Feel like you're doing a favor when killing them, cuz some of them are INFESTED with termites! Killing a loot bug could have a small chance of spawning a small enemy :3

The reward at the end of the missions is equally splitted among all the players, but even if someone enter almost at the end... is it correct?

A fast loot bug that runs away offering better loot but could separate you from the team and steer toward a pack of enemies. Maybe only spawns during evacuation.

More planets to mine big boss battles like an ancient colossus burried deep
Make enemies drop rare loot very low chance monster remains can be sold to an NPC scientists for a small price
Also be able to scan minerals and floral and fauna in caves and placed on a detail journal this can pretty much explain lores about nitras and other minerals found plus enemies

@arctic lintel I like that, maybe even give this rare loot bugs that run away a timer once you damage them, that calls a horde if you don't kill them before it times out.

They would definitely need a more rewarding bug for that, but I'd be down for a rare lootbug too.

a new enemy somewhere between warrior and praetorian in difficulty should be added, and lower the spawn rate on praetorians

A small thing, but using quickplay i am automatically sorted into servers in my region, this is fine, but I joined a public server, got kicked, and now the quickplay constantly tries to put me in that server, only for me to get an error message. this could be resolved by not autosorting you into a server you've been kicked/banned from
this essentially broke quickplay for me until the dudes stop playing
lone sentinel
i dont know if im the only one but it feels like that the egg collection mission feel too much like a normal mining expedition. Maybe it would be cool if you killed a certain type of boss enemy that drops the eggs or you go through egg chamber trying to steal eggs without disturbing the other ones or waking something up like a brood mother.

Driller/engineer gameplay often devolves into a frantic ammo conservation exercise, Hazard 2 and above. Also, a lot of players are keen on selective resupplying. These factors together can sometimes reduce enjoyment

novel lotus
After putting in 30 hours I think the game should have its official max player cap increased to like 6~8 for normal missions. The game can scale to it no issue and with some more content could be incredible. Maybe make it a different mode or have nonofficial but official way to do it if the devs are scared of losing the games identity. Although I think they could balance this by adding a new class that only mines and having the other classes have more ammo but being unable to mine in bigger groups.

Multiple tool and weapon choices for each class so you can customize your role and feel more unique (the limited amount of customization compacts this greatly but that I'm sure will be fleshed out in time)

get rid of fuel for the drillers drill and add a cooldown instead. it kills its mobility early on. the mobility is ok on the gunner seeing as how the cables are permanent. the engineers pads should allow you to jump higher off of them similar to hoe high you can bounce off of other players heads. i feel like scouts and gunners will always be used more. just because of their mobility.
simple imp
I feel I should clarify on my previous suggestion for competitive mining: By semi-PVP, I moreso meant, "Against other players, but not directly fighting them," and I didn't want to beg the devs to add another, mining team getting to the objective first on the same seed. While I do love the idea, and do second it, I just wanted to come up with something in the mean time, or incase they don't add it.

My idea is to have something team based and yet still competitive, personally, however, I think the randomness always adds a little variation to the competiton.
And, I also liked the, “Reach the objective first,” game mode someone else mentioned as well.
plain tree
When the team gets around to adding additional classes, or adding alternate loadout options for the existing classes, I think it'd be neat if we could get something that adds to the environment rather than destroys it as a mobility item option. So it'll be similar to the engineer's platform gun, but instead of a handful of platforms you instead get more and smaller globs of the foam that you can then use in a more granular fashion.
To plug up murder holes so bugs have to go around, make a gap just that little bit shorter so you can jump it, or build a staircase up the side of the wall rather than getting your pick out.

Could just go with ABBA caving rules on this idea, and make it the team that gatters the most wins and takes all the rare resources the other team mined. That way its more about who can dig deeper quickest, and survive the longer.

Im not talking killing each other though. Im talking who can mine the most.
Like I said ABBA caving rules
A friendly game invented on minecraft servers. You all go down into a cave system. All ores and items are given a point value, the players with the most points wins.
One players is server. That is basically how unreal does networking
Unless you make actual servers that become the host
Pretty sure it doesnt. Its host-client.
Unless you gut it down and code a new system under the hood
I think the problem is you all keep thinking of shooting each other.
Instead of Dwarves just betting their earning on who is the best digger
If they are competing its pvp, its just not kill based pvp.
Like Hearthstone is pvp
That guy, is already something the devs have talked about. Go check the survey
There is very little to track though.
Like the way I see @simple imp idea, he is suggesting competitive play based on who can run through x number of missions in x amount of time.

...I can think of no better way to describe it than the the pea and crab problem
clear moss
its a pretty straightforward shotty, 2 shots into a green guy, entire mag into a crowd, pickaxe into small ones.
plain tree
You don't have a lot of uses, so you save it for "What if later I need to get out of a hole NOW"
and then that never happens
Oh no I mean the platform gun
clear moss
oh yeah.
platform gun only really works
if you have a scout.
otherwise its completely pointless.
every other class has better mobility synergizing equipment.
plain tree
It's faster than digging a wall ladder if you have a pickaxe, but not if you have a driller
but you burn through two or three platfoms doing that
clear moss
driller drills quicker, gunner has the zipline etc.
toxic pike
Most guns in the game can be saved forever. You can pickaxe most things in the game. Except maybe dreadnaughts since their health pool is so big.
clear moss
i wouldnt say forever.
on hazard level 4 you really have no room to breathe.
you gotta use that ammo and utilities otherwise you get overrun
toxic pike
In hazard lvl 4 you can go 2 gunners over engi most of the times
plain tree
Right but my point here is that it hits the wrong spot between the plentiful uses of the drill/grapple and the few but straightforward and meaningful uses of the zipline.
It has more uses than the zipline, but you have to use more of them per... situation in which you'd use them. But it doesn't have as many as the drill/hook
clear moss
I feel like all mobility items should use the cooldown of grappling hook
plain tree
zipline is point and click, one use solves one problem
plain tree
I am all for resource management and scarcity but don't get in that bad spot
flat bough
tbh I think they should go and give every pick a 2nd upgrade for faster mining
toxic pike
I do think platform gun could work on a self replenishing ammo. But have a long cooldown between mags. And cant remove the reload.
clear moss
or at least let Engineer absorb platforms and Gunner pick up their ziplines after deployment.
flat bough
more often then not the best way to get to someplace is to dig through the wall to it
toxic pike
And remove the reload option*
clear moss
okey but, picking up your deployed stuff could work.
toxic pike
Gunner ziplines are not that scarce though
pine path
there should be a prestige system that resets all upgrades and levels but adds an all class upgrade
for more playability
toxic pike
So basically prestige once, and never play any of the classes again?
flat bough
well basically it could be that each time you prestige the amount of carry space you got increases
so high prestige can carry more on a given class then non prestige
clear moss
why not just make it part of the rank.
toxic pike
@flat bough That sir is a an evily hard choice. I support the motion.
clear moss
as you rank up your carry capacity increases.
right now it doesnt do much other than make a number go up past rank 10, since all upgrades are unlocked at rank 8.
toxic pike
10 could be the prestige level. Even COD makes you go an extra level before you unlock the option to prestige
If anything I think level should give a 2% ammo increase.
clear moss
A killing floor 2 style perk progression system would be nice.
toxic pike
I would be up to have some perks.
clear moss
along with passive increase in class's stats akin to this
quicker building setup for engineer, faster zipline movement for gunner, quicker cooldown on hook for scout etc.
a lot of ways to do it.
toxic pike
I would prefer equipment things to stay on the upgrade screen.
I would go forpassives like 2.5 percent faster movement, dont take dmg form 1 hit ever 15 seconds, You have a random chance to insta kill a medium sized bug with melee.
They could get more powerful the more level you have, until they reach peak OPness with stuff like all bugs have a 7% random chance to drop 1 nitra on death.
hidden vine
when you get the egg from the wall remove the pink markers saying theres an egg in the wall
so that way you know you don thave to keep looking for a second one that spawned close by to the first
wicked bolt
If you're downed, a spectating feature would be nice.
jaunty ravine
Some permanent marker like a flag or light to mark where people have already dug out minerals so you know there is no need to double check or constantly have the conversation “U got this one? - Which one? -This one. -Yeah”. Sorry if already suggested.
idle quartz
apology accepted
near glacier
i mean the permanent marker is that the resource ain't there no more..lol
flat bough
I feel like during point extraction as an engineer I should be allowed to dump my turret ammo into the turrets that spawn with the platform
since they are basically the same things but with higher ammo capacity
near glacier
point extraction we should be able to use our deposited nitra to build more turrets and upgrade them 😏
craggy wren
QoL suggestion: Fix the reload timer so it ends before or right as the animation ends, and not a second later
it's really annoying since this is the only game I've ever played where that happens
and I keep reloading, seeing the animation finish, switch to another weapon and then switch back only to have to shove more shells into Mister Shotgun
quasi void
Suggestion: Add Mutators for additional difficulty. This could be a weekly event and succeeding in such events could lead to a % gain in EXP and minerals.
-
Insect Regen.
-
Half Dwarf Health
-
Flares are disabled (Have to rely on flashlights, scary!)
-
Weapon damage decreased by 30%
Etc, Etc,
craggy wren
relying on flashlights
:dismay:
I played a game ages ago called Corneroids where you could force it to do that
turning down the game brightness turned off the ambient light, and turning it off entirely meant that EVERYTHING was pitch black
which made exploring asteroids harrowing
idle quartz
way ahead of you there 😄 definitely pushing for such game modes and we already know its possible to play w/o flares or flashlights.
heady mica
Please let us kick a barrel in to the space ship and buckle it in. Thanks.
craggy wren
a barrel would be more useful than some of my teammates I've had
amber needle
Each map has a collectable Barrel
idle quartz
hm.. yeah i'd kind of like biome themed barrels hidden...
amber needle
honestly just more barrels in any form
idle quartz
but they'd have to be in walls. With no clue to there origin
if you find one its totally chance.
and you gotta get it into the drop pod.
still chasm
can we carry the barrel rather than kick it around though plz.
and maybe have a display case for these barrels in the memorial hall. lol
idle quartz
TOO EASY
but yeah, somewhere to display the barrels.
If kicking the barrel is too hard, the obvious solution is going to the beginning of the map, then ending the mission, so the drop ship lands deeper. Much easier to kick the barrel downhill.
still chasm
carry barrels but movement speed is slowed and you can't fight anyways like that.
amber needle
just have the barrels displayed in your personal room haha, whenever you join a multiplayer game you can show them off (or kick them into the launch bay)\
still chasm
or onto the drop pod and said barrel permanently displays in the drop pod on the mission.
but the barrel has to be of the biome you are going into.
light nexus
An option in settings to get EXP (experience) popping up when you kill something so you know how much EXP you're earning when you kill things.Would be cool just a suggestion
steep sparrow
more barrels in the starting area
flat bough
perhaps have it so that part of the procedural generation is busted up drop pods with dwarf corpses nearby and a damaged molly
you can loot the molly for some resources and find the biome barrel nearby
could also use that as part of a recovery mission where you need to get the damaged molly
still chasm
tankhunter that would be a nice idea to add in more missions.
simple imp
Like a "recover the lost MULE?" I like it. Even better, have the mission actually be in the same place as an the failled lobby, so that way the players can see where other players had been before, and get their loot. Probably would be hard to pull off, but even the basic framework would be fun.
flat bough
sometimes I wish that if I lacked in nitra that I could still call down a supply pod at the cost of credits
flat bough
I feel if we need a giant boss enemy
then we should have community made mining bases
so that the giant enemy attacks the base and the community has to defend it
and if they fail the base gets destroyed
mint spire
Lemme fucking point up and shoot the cave leech. Im tired of this exact situation happening, where a rock is in the way so Bosco cant shoot the base of it.
flat bough
taking all the community investment with it
aim your camera up so when bosco res you
you can pop the leech
mint spire
but I lose a revive
flat bough
bosco has a limit on revives?
mint spire
2
sage vine
I mean... Cave leeches are plenty visible...
flat bough
nah
sage vine
You just gotta look for them.
mint spire
not even
sage vine
That's one of the reasons the scout is so useful.
With those sticky flares.
And if you're going solo, use Bosco's flashlight.
mint spire
his flashlight?
flat bough
you can tell him to look at terrain
sage vine
Yeah, just point at any ol' point and he'll look at stuff, illuminating it.
flat bough
also a good way to get him out of your face when mining tunnels
and keep him from flying in your face cancelling your resupply
or your building of turrets at the onset of a swarm alert
idle quartz
Cave Leeches can be obstructed by terrain
best defense is to listen for them
if you hear a cave leech, just keep running
you're faster than they are
still chasm
if not suggested already how bout a recently played with tracker on the menu... that way you know who to kick from your team if you've had a bad experience with them.
grave crystal
i mean, you can just memorize names, for one or two games
otherwise, I'd like it to identify who I'd like to friend if I end up playing with them a few times by happestance.
still chasm
that would be nice as well though I'd like the recently played with tracker.
idle quartz
Some people would say just use steam and add friends within a tab buuuut i'd like to see a co-worker list in game.
grave crystal
I'd like, if you quick join, for the mission to be clear before you go in the drop pod, just to sate my curiosity
aka if you join, host selects something, you know what to expect
placid nebula
maybe have some buyable guns
to increase playability
as you increase the amount of stuff you can get and customize
would love some kind of bone thrower weapon that uses the bones of the enemy
to kill other enemies xD
grave crystal
eh, I like the guns, it'd have to make sure not to erase class uniqueness.
still chasm
maybe even something like an acid gun the story of that the acid produced by acid spitters having been engineered into a weapon
grave crystal
but, the bugs are immume to acid.
still chasm
each class would get weapon types proper to them.
winged grail
slinger web projectiles should be a little faster to make use of them better.
kind gazelle
Even Skins for weapons! if you look closely, the portrait fir the gunner, he has some camo paint on his armor. This could add another layer of customisation (paint on guns & armors)
pliant radish
Make a "Carl" class. Then it would be everone's favorite class. For Carl!
idle quartz
for KARL
restive saffron
The mule should not go through the supply drop holes in lower difficulties, this should only be possible in hazard level 3-4
idle quartz
it shouldnt be possible already, they're trying to make it a nullzone (used to be able to SEE the framework as the pod came down) but sometimes she does
all i can advice is, check your scanner before calling pods to make sure there is no room above you
flat bough
Mixer suggestion: Give us viewers the option of reviving the streamer when they are downed, or if the full heal can do that make it clear that it can do that
clear parrot
After playing my first mission (solo), no tutorial after release i must say that Bosco is great.
As a person with no opportuntiy to play often or long-missions without an unexpected break i feel disappointed by grinding for special mats and not be able to choose a mission i want - only the not closed ones.
So in comparison to the alpha/beta i have to spend more time in this game to upgrade my equipment. I **** happens i have to leave a mission without getting any of my findings that not nice, either.
So as a suggestion .. what about some kind of "Emergency Pod", which a dwarf could call (costs some Minerals (Nitra, Gold and/or Morkite), and after entering this pod he leaves the game and gets an equivalent amount of that he has mined/killed etc pp. The others loose this kind of minerals.
trim brook
suggestion: gold beard colour for supporter edition
craggy apex
That would be insanely cool
warped quiver
I'd like to see a cut-scene type thing, when you kick all the barrels in. Maybe the shield would break and everyone would be sucked in space.
craggy apex
hahaha
trim brook
YES
Ok so i have a few
- upgrades that are cross character
i dont wanna upgrade the flairs/pickaxe on everyone - Instead of the credit system have gold be the currency you use to buy things
- Have some sort of hint for how to do an objective, I spent a solid hour not knowing how the hell to get eggs
- Perhaps a slightly more catchy name, "Deep Rock Galactic" just sounds a bit off.
- Gold Beard colour for supporter edition
kind gazelle
(eggs are explained in the tutorial though)
trim brook
All i'm saying is me and 3 other people couldn't figure it out, a hint would be nice!
flat bough
Suggestion: Add some bioluminescent glow to the cave leeches to make them easier to spot, especially when you lack a scout for long range flares and your flares wont fly high enough to illuminate them
kind gazelle
this would make them far to easy to spot, remove them almost. They need to be hidden and it is part of the scout skills to help see them
flat bough
they are also mentioned often as a run killer
and they also can spawn where they would have rocks covering them
making them hard to spot even with scout flares
trim brook
Suggestion: 2-3 Swappable beard modules to give you specific bonuses
Reason for limited amount "It hurts mae chin"
Longer beard the more upgrades you can have, but the slower you are (movement speed)
Clean shaven gives a bigger speed boost, but no upgrades
Developers, we need this
craggy apex
I think implementing different stats for each dwarf-like how the engineer and driller have the same armor capabilities? I think if anything we should have the driller have the most and serve as a tank, being at the frontline with a flamethrower anyways
olive crane
Dungeons with bosses and its endless. Your reward is based of how far you have come!
left finch
Engineers should be able to reload their platform gun by mining a certain type of rock or mineral. Would add to gameplay ithink
elfin sundial
what about support for linux?
near glacier
Please add a method of reporting bugs that doesn't require a login.
pure mulch
Linux Support would be great
empty jay
Suggestion: upgrades to the flashlight, it's kinda useless atm
you would think space dwarves would have some better flashlights like what we have in real life
trim brook
oh duuuuuuuuuude, if this game had linux support
quaint vapor
So buying a Beard for 12000 and the only for one Char Seems a bit off to me considering There is more to buy and upgrade the just Beards. I Think if you buy a Beard it should be accessible by every Char. Maybe make a it a bit more Grind intense to get.
near glacier
12k is chump change
trim brook
yeah that's only like 6 hours of playtime
near glacier
Sure, if you only play on tourist difficulty.
trim brook
listen it's not my fault i suck
near glacier
Try joining groups on hazard 3.
quaint vapor
I Dont Mind Grinding for something I just Thing it should be accessible by All chars though
near glacier
You'd unlock every beard in like 10 games if you did that
quaint vapor
Well considering how much I fail im h3 no would be much more
trim brook
yea i can barely manage on easy
trim brook
Nah, this isn't dark souls
near glacier
Beards aren't that bad to get on medium.
trim brook
doesn't mean i can't complain about how much i suck 😉
quaint vapor
You misunderstand me. Im not sayin the Game should be easier but considering the options fighting those tough enemys I Dont See the rewards for failing Over and over
