and he was facing a dread with company

prisma ferry Apr 4, 2018, 8:25 AM

That's cool for people who do it, but it isn't for people who just stand on the zipline and add 5 minutes of empty gameplay to the mission only to suicide at the end.

shadow night Apr 4, 2018, 8:25 AM

#

lol

prisma ferry Apr 4, 2018, 8:26 AM

I don't doubt that some people know how to kite well, of course.

yeah biggest problem here is that some people just dont read chat

prisma ferry Apr 4, 2018, 8:27 AM

Is there anything you think should be done about that?

#

The 4v4 time limit thing has already been suggested but i'd like to add a twist

#

2 different but similar sides of the map that connect with compact dirtt in the center of the map. You can get to the other team's side and steal their minerals or even kill them.

hollow tusk Apr 4, 2018, 12:54 PM

#

Volatile resources! like pearls and what not but be careful getting them back to molly cause they might explode

#

the more you put into molly the slower it moves

#

keep mining for more and try and out live the waves? or launch with what you've got

Lunar caves

a mission where you just have to survive against wavesssss of monsters

rancid rock Apr 4, 2018, 4:48 PM

#

i would like some kind of pole, like the one you place to call molly. To mark places you've already been, they can be seen through walls, and by teammates.

fallow river Apr 4, 2018, 6:24 PM

#

That would be great

#

Marking exits and things aswell

#

Maybe not seeing them thro walls tho

#

But having a system to mark the way back so when dropod is called would stop the times where molly just walks up a massive wall and you have no idea where to go

grizzled lichen Apr 4, 2018, 6:35 PM

Liobuster, to be fair, the chat window is bloody tiny. it could be like 15-30% bigger IMHO.

#

then again im playing on my TV 1.2 M away from me

#

Suggestion: design a heavy duty style amour for the engineer and scout too. i want my dwarves i tough looking exo armour :D! (the piama's just wont do...)

#

(appearance wise, doesnt have to be statwise)

oblique karma Apr 4, 2018, 7:08 PM

#

Ability to drop beacons or markers of some kind that could be named.
Scout's grappling gun should also have some ammo source imo, it's way too easy to kite forever with him.

mossy laurel Apr 4, 2018, 8:24 PM

#

We need a major change for the driller, as I feel he is slightly underpowered as of now

#

first off

#

The drills need a complete rework

last wasp Apr 4, 2018, 8:24 PM

#

Honestly, I find only his pistol needs any help

mossy laurel Apr 4, 2018, 8:25 PM

#

from many suggestions, it has been suggested to remove limited fuel for drills

#

Like the scout's grapple gun, it should completely replace the pickax for the driller

#

The driller should no longer feel obliged to use his pickax, in fear of runnning out of fuel

#

Upgrades should also focus on drill speed and cooldown, instead of fuel capacity and damage

outer hollow Apr 4, 2018, 8:28 PM

#

I like the idea to change the cooldown time and reduce the heat increase

#

Should be able to mine ore with the drill as well

shadow night Apr 4, 2018, 8:28 PM

#

i would like him to tunnel further but have a longer cooldown between tunnels

mossy laurel Apr 4, 2018, 8:28 PM

#

Exactly

#

The drills should completely replace the pick

shadow night Apr 4, 2018, 8:28 PM

#

and to destroy minerals so you have to be careful where you go

mossy laurel Apr 4, 2018, 8:28 PM

#

err

#

the point is so the drills can also dig minerals

shadow night Apr 4, 2018, 8:29 PM

#

like in archeology

mossy laurel Apr 4, 2018, 8:29 PM

#

Then he woudn't need a pick anymore

#

also, its a mineral, not a delecate artifact

#

the pick smashes the mineral too, not much different from a drill

#

any way to do a direct suggestion for the devs?

trim creek Apr 4, 2018, 8:32 PM

#

could @ them

shadow night Apr 4, 2018, 8:32 PM

#

well very different

#

the drills the driller have turn everything to dust

#

anbd the pick creates nuggets

#

try using a pick :3

mossy laurel Apr 4, 2018, 8:35 PM

#

Yes

#

I have done the direct message for Mads

#

the nugget is an illusion

#

for the dwarf collects minerals that don't become nuggets too

boreal lintel Apr 4, 2018, 8:50 PM

#

I disagree with your suggestion. The Driller is currently the most all-rounded of all the classes in my opinion. His pistol has a high damage output, his flamethrower can effectively deal with small enemies, charge for large, and the drills allow unparalleled terrain manipulation for transport.

proven zephyr Apr 4, 2018, 8:50 PM

#

@Cybermetic#3802 the drill, yes, is underpowered for damage, but to fully replace the pick axe with it is stupid. You have a super powerful drill that requires massive amounts of power to operate, basically using a small Diesel engine/nuclear reactor in each drill.

boreal lintel Apr 4, 2018, 8:51 PM

#

I agree that the drill should deal more damage.

proven zephyr Apr 4, 2018, 8:51 PM

#

Plus the drill with unlimited ammo? That would be OP AF!

#

Even with debilitating overheating

#

Besides, if you knew anything about gemmology, it’s that the larger, less damaged crystal sells for more/more desirable

#

Turning it into dust makes it damn near unusable (unless it’s diamond, then you can put the powdered diamond on sandpaper, drill bits, saw blades,etc.)

shadow night Apr 4, 2018, 8:58 PM

#

thats why i said it should destroy minerals (the drill that is)

#

and while it shouldnt make the pick completely obsolete it should be stronger than the pick

#

and as of right now you are usually faster in making tunnels using the pick than using the drill if its anylonger than the average dirt wall

proven zephyr Apr 4, 2018, 9:00 PM

#

Depends are which environment your in, the drill does come in handy and is faster in making holes

boreal lintel Apr 4, 2018, 9:00 PM

#

Destroying minerals is a dangerous move. What happens if all the morkite is destroyed and not enough is available for mission completion?

shadow night Apr 4, 2018, 9:00 PM

#

mission failed?

#

just like what happens when u run out of live crewmembers

verbal lintel Apr 4, 2018, 9:01 PM

that's a big potential for griefing

proven zephyr Apr 4, 2018, 9:01 PM

trim creek Apr 4, 2018, 9:01 PM

i dont agree with the destruction of minerals at all, thats a can of worms that doesnt add the gameplay a whole lot

verbal lintel Apr 4, 2018, 9:01 PM

proven zephyr Apr 4, 2018, 9:02 PM

That’s the problem, griefer gonna grief if you’re “not being nice”

shadow night Apr 4, 2018, 9:02 PM

#

well thats what kickings for though

#

and griefers can still play a round of spleef if they want

verbal lintel Apr 4, 2018, 9:03 PM

#

but destroying minerals doesn't add anything really, so why bother adding it at all?

trim creek Apr 4, 2018, 9:03 PM

#

what problem is it solving though by making minerals destructable

proven zephyr Apr 4, 2018, 9:03 PM

#

Still, trolls will use it too

idle quartz Apr 4, 2018, 9:03 PM

#

Perhaps if drilling all connected terrain away from the mineral would cause the entire vein to convert to Chunks to pick up.

shadow night Apr 4, 2018, 9:03 PM

#

to fix making the drill op when giving it a buff

idle quartz Apr 4, 2018, 9:03 PM

#

a cut around tool

proven zephyr Apr 4, 2018, 9:03 PM

#

It already is a cut around tool

#

But being able to mine the mineral into chunks would be cool, a speedrunner’s dream as well

verbal lintel Apr 4, 2018, 9:05 PM

#

maybe just make the drills consume more fuel when drilling minerals to make the pickaxe still viable

#

or an expensive upgrade

proven zephyr Apr 4, 2018, 9:06 PM

#

Upgrade would be best, as it be a specialized function to “not damage the crystals too much”

verbal lintel Apr 4, 2018, 9:08 PM

#

yea, class specialization upgrades would be cool, although that might take a while to do

mossy laurel Apr 4, 2018, 9:09 PM

#

the drills mining the minerals like the pick would be interesting

#

the driller's pick would then be a "backup" of sorts, or as a way to save fuel

proven zephyr Apr 4, 2018, 9:10 PM

#

A dwarf never forgets his pick, you never know when he might need it

mossy laurel Apr 4, 2018, 9:11 PM

#

yeah

#

great for emergancies

#

Both for mining and for battles

#

I always pickax singular warriors and swarmers

#

Also, the pickaxe is LIT AF against the beehives

shadow night Apr 4, 2018, 9:16 PM

or to whack praets in the face when they just dont die fast enough

vagrant bobcat Apr 4, 2018, 10:34 PM

quick venture Apr 5, 2018, 1:14 AM

#

@vagrant bobcat maybe for the egghunt

dusty geode Apr 5, 2018, 2:09 AM

#

Would be nice if we could actually customize our loadouts.

#

more than one type of each weapon slot item

#

Or ammo customization like slug instead of buck for the engie shotgun.

#

Also wish the digger's flamethrower had a less 'bullet' type projectile, as it seems you either hit with it, or miss completely, while the flames look like they hit everything

#

And attacking the floor with it doesn't seem to be that effective, even with firewall upgrade.

proven zephyr Apr 5, 2018, 2:25 AM

#

@dusty geode “And attacking the floor with it doesn't seem to be that effective, even with firewall upgrade.” What are you talking about, the sticky flame upgrade is awesome, it’s extremely effective to burn the floor just before an enemy hits it, not to mention it eats through praetorians with ease

#

Yes, more load outs for the classes

#

I more want elemental boost to the guns, like a “shockgun” or chain lightning Gatling gun

#

Or corrosive rounds for turrets and auto rifle

#

Maybe a cluster grenade launcher

dusty geode Apr 5, 2018, 2:36 AM

#

Maybe I just haven't gotten lucky or my allies kill things too quickly

proven zephyr Apr 5, 2018, 2:37 AM

#

When you get swarmed, burn the ground under you and a little in front. I usually make “don’t pass this” line

#

And with praetorians, burn them, make a line when backing up for them to follow, and shoot their face with pistol while you’re partner/s/bosco shoot his butt

#

And with that pistol: fan the fucking hammer, empty magazines into his face

#

And if they’re on the roof, burn their walk way, they get stun locked by doing that

dusty geode Apr 5, 2018, 2:42 AM

#

yeah, i like the pistol's long range use

#

and usually I just flame a prae, and let the DOT do a number on them

#

maybe pepper them with some pistol while they burn

proven zephyr Apr 5, 2018, 2:42 AM

#

That works too

#

I burn them, shoot their face, burn them some more, repeat

dusty geode Apr 5, 2018, 2:43 AM

And I do this on solo at haz 3

dusty geode Apr 5, 2018, 2:43 AM

Cause on everything but point extraction, haz 4 is easily doable

#

Just gotta keep your head on a swivel

proven zephyr Apr 5, 2018, 2:45 AM

Point extraction is a speedrunners missions, don’t mess around, just get the stuff

dusty geode Apr 5, 2018, 2:46 AM

#

Ah, That's where I get hung up.

#

anyway, moving to general

shadow night Apr 5, 2018, 4:59 AM

#

could we change the sentence when calling a supply pod to supply pod incoming

#

cause if u are distracted and suddenly hear drop pod incoming you get paniced taht someone ended early even though they just wanted some ammo

main belfry Apr 5, 2018, 7:24 AM

#

i feel like there should be a never ending mode where you get supply pods at the end of every 2 waves and 2 min breaks every 10 waves or something like that

rancid rock Apr 5, 2018, 7:25 AM

#

it would also be nice to able to call for assistance if you are being swarmed and no teammates are around, just like when you're down. But currently you can only call "over here" when you are alive.

#

what tater said

fallow river Apr 5, 2018, 7:29 AM

#

A vote on molly (to call the droppod) when the objective is complete would be great. It would allow people to show that they want to go without calling the pod, and will stop situations where one person wants to keep on mining yet everyone else wans to go

Usually the worst problem you come across with newbies is them hitting the escape pod button on Molly but most learn not to do it after a few games. They're actually discussing that in general right now

rancid rock Apr 5, 2018, 7:38 AM

i've helped along a couple of new guys from this server, and i've never experienced any of them being annoying, if you treat them with respect and patience, they probably play another game where yo would be in their situation if you thried that game.

wouldnt it be nice if ending the mission asap was encouraged?

lean haven Apr 5, 2018, 7:38 AM

idle quartz Apr 5, 2018, 7:38 AM

you know, doing the job you were sent down to do? =\

no vote. Ending mission should require all living members pushing the button at once.

that extra jadiz

lean haven Apr 5, 2018, 7:40 AM

If they decided on an auto escape at the end, I'd want a reprieve timer before the pod came down so I'd have a moment to restock

idle quartz Apr 5, 2018, 7:40 AM

#

but wouldnt it be nice if, for example.. You could only pick up 3 jadiz. More than you find in most missions now. But the cave spawned even more?

main belfry Apr 5, 2018, 7:43 AM

what if she got slower the more full she got but once she got completely full she went back to normal speed that way you could get to the drop pod faster

The server list would be filled with mostly play explore completion servers, and little to no get in and out servers

glacial wedge Apr 5, 2018, 8:01 AM

Well, maybe this means the majority of the players don't want the cap

Also then, you just host your own game with a cap

Make public games have caps, private let it be set how you want maybe?

idle quartz Apr 5, 2018, 8:04 AM

#

so having a resource cap for morkite would end your fun? 🤔

last wasp Apr 5, 2018, 8:04 AM

#

Public and quickplay

glacial wedge Apr 5, 2018, 8:04 AM

#

If we wish to get everything

last wasp Apr 5, 2018, 8:04 AM

#

Would it hurt anything to allow the option?

idle quartz Apr 5, 2018, 8:04 AM

#

like, you can waste time all you want

glacial wedge Apr 5, 2018, 8:04 AM

#

Because thats how we are

#

Yes

last wasp Apr 5, 2018, 8:04 AM

#

In a private game?

glacial wedge Apr 5, 2018, 8:04 AM

#

It would

#

Exactly

idle quartz Apr 5, 2018, 8:04 AM

#

you can just stay in the cave and shoot bugs until the whole cave is out of nitra if you want

#

but if im in a public game im pushing the button 😛

glacial wedge Apr 5, 2018, 8:05 AM

#

Cool

#

You do that

fallow river Apr 5, 2018, 8:05 AM

#

its been shown that people will play in most boring way possible if they think its the best

glacial wedge Apr 5, 2018, 8:05 AM

#

Honestly I'm reasonable and considerable enough to agree to someone leaving early

idle quartz Apr 5, 2018, 8:05 AM

#

but its not really "early", its on time

fallow river Apr 5, 2018, 8:05 AM

#

Yee

idle quartz Apr 5, 2018, 8:06 AM

#

completing the objective should be the priority but atm it isnt

glacial wedge Apr 5, 2018, 8:06 AM

#

But I still don't see why I should be forced to play how I don't want while playing solo or on a private game with friends that think alike

fallow river Apr 5, 2018, 8:06 AM

#

Yeah the cap would link the mechanics the whole point of the game is to get in and get out

last wasp Apr 5, 2018, 8:06 AM

#

Either make excess stuff worth anything, or make it clear that it's not, and put the caps, IMO

idle quartz Apr 5, 2018, 8:06 AM

#

and after the quota is met all thats left is this leisurely farming for scraps at the end

#

well people ask all the time in game

#

if its worth extra, its assumed it is

last wasp Apr 5, 2018, 8:06 AM

#

I still don't see such a huge deal about making people rush though, especially since then you miss all the crafting mats

idle quartz Apr 5, 2018, 8:06 AM

#

i think mission control should have a voice line about it

last wasp Apr 5, 2018, 8:07 AM

#

Yeah, because frankly, it SHOULD be worth extra

lean haven Apr 5, 2018, 8:07 AM

#

@last wasp that's my point. Don't give people the option. Have the devs decide one way or the other and make it clear.

last wasp Apr 5, 2018, 8:07 AM

#

I'm astounded it's not TBH

main belfry Apr 5, 2018, 8:07 AM

#

@idle quartz games are about having fun there not a job

idle quartz Apr 5, 2018, 8:07 AM

#

DRG is greedy, they gave you a job and expect it to be done according to their standard

glacial wedge Apr 5, 2018, 8:07 AM

#

Exactly

#

You don't need to be efficient to have fun

idle quartz Apr 5, 2018, 8:07 AM

#

so i wouldnt expect them to pay extra...for anythng, really.

#

heck they'd probably laugh

glacial wedge Apr 5, 2018, 8:08 AM

#

They shouldn't pay you extra for doing more than they asked for?

last wasp Apr 5, 2018, 8:08 AM

#

I imagine they'd pay less than they do for the quota

fallow river Apr 5, 2018, 8:08 AM

#

They wount pay anthing, its a contract

last wasp Apr 5, 2018, 8:08 AM

#

But SOMEthing is what I assumed, not literally nothing.That doesn't make sense even if it's a terrible company

lean haven Apr 5, 2018, 8:08 AM

#

@glacial wedge most business don't pay you a penny more for doing extra work during your shift.

fallow river Apr 5, 2018, 8:08 AM

#

Ill give you X for Y but if you get more Y its doesnt matter

idle quartz Apr 5, 2018, 8:08 AM

#

we need a game mode that doesnt have the limit but has a timer instead

lean haven Apr 5, 2018, 8:08 AM

#

That's the corporate world

idle quartz Apr 5, 2018, 8:08 AM

#

get all you can within x time

last wasp Apr 5, 2018, 8:08 AM

#

Yeah but that's not usually based on mining

#

That'd be cool

#

Reward based on amount gathered in the time

idle quartz Apr 5, 2018, 8:09 AM

#

because that way, the deeper you go to find more...the longer the run back is.

glacial wedge Apr 5, 2018, 8:09 AM

#

That'd be cool

idle quartz Apr 5, 2018, 8:09 AM

#

its just a natural greed/risk scale

last wasp Apr 5, 2018, 8:09 AM

#

Well, I figured it'd just pull you out when time was up

#

Or give the 3-5 minutes of "drop pod's leaving" and maybe make you unable to deposit more stuff

idle quartz Apr 5, 2018, 8:10 AM

#

well yeah, but thats why you head back before the time is up

last wasp Apr 5, 2018, 8:10 AM

#

True, I guess it'd be kinda like it is now anyway

idle quartz Apr 5, 2018, 8:10 AM

#

like the most reasonable way to do it would be maybe at 1/3 or 1/4 time

last wasp Apr 5, 2018, 8:11 AM

#

And if you really wanna stretch it, 1/5th and beyond

idle quartz Apr 5, 2018, 8:12 AM

#

only problem is in that scenario, does the pod stay at the start? it kind of should... But at the same time nothing stops 1 person from just staying there.

#

then you cant really fail

#

plus if you get TOO deep, molly might not make it back in time

#

it would be hard to gauge her speed.

last wasp Apr 5, 2018, 8:12 AM

#

Hrmn. Maybe make the survival bonus also grant an extra% of crafting mats?

idle quartz Apr 5, 2018, 8:12 AM

#

they're working on that

last wasp Apr 5, 2018, 8:12 AM

#

I thought it did originally, but it's just a flat amount of credits

idle quartz Apr 5, 2018, 8:13 AM

#

but its only 10% and thats just a bonus, not a penalty

last wasp Apr 5, 2018, 8:13 AM

#

I mean, the penalty is you don't get the bonus :p

idle quartz Apr 5, 2018, 8:13 AM

#

well 110% bonus on a guaranteed extract is an easy offer

last wasp Apr 5, 2018, 8:13 AM

#

Maybe make it only start applying past 1 survivor

idle quartz Apr 5, 2018, 8:13 AM

#

maybe molly needs activated to start the ending

#

hope they do fix the dropship camping though. Had a guy afk in the drop pod a whole mission and all the swarms spawned on im at the pod and couldnt hurt him lol

#

so it was the easiest mission ever

last wasp Apr 5, 2018, 8:14 AM

#

Like, 1 survivor gets nothing extra, 2 gives 20%, 3 is 30% etc.

#

Or even 20, 35, 50, so it's a REALLY tasty bonus to incentivize...reaching the pod

#

Also people would probably get extra greedy and insistant on rescuing teammates

#

No Dwarf Left Behind and all

idle quartz Apr 5, 2018, 8:16 AM

#

hm, that would drastically increase how much materials people get, dont want to mess with the progression scaling TOO much or people will whine about how quick they max out ><

#

definitely need a game mode where you cant leave anyone behind though.

last wasp Apr 5, 2018, 8:16 AM

#

I mean, you could lower the amount of mats slightly

#

So you'd get less than current if only 1 guy makes it

idle quartz Apr 5, 2018, 8:16 AM

#

or reduce the hazard bonus

last wasp Apr 5, 2018, 8:16 AM

#

But a decent chunk for 3 or 4

#

Hrmn, to reduce the hazard bonus, they'd need a smoother hazard curve IMO

idle quartz Apr 5, 2018, 8:17 AM

#

like hazard 4 could go from 100% to 80%. 4 survivors would add 40% so its a net gain if you all make it out...

#

hm.. or maybe change survivor bonus based on hazard too..

last wasp Apr 5, 2018, 8:17 AM

#

Cuz Haz 2 to 3 is a decent jump, and 3 to 4 is..oof

#

Multiplicative perhaps?

idle quartz Apr 5, 2018, 8:18 AM

#

about that 🤔 @dense idol what was the difference between hazard 3 and hazard 4? was it the same as haz2 to 3? like a 25% jump?

#

i should have pinned it, i cant find the info anymore

last wasp Apr 5, 2018, 8:18 AM

#

It seems like it's bigger, cuz Haz 3 an exploder takes off half your HP

#

In 4 it's death

#

Maybe it's 25% bigger than the LAST hazard

#

And not off a base

main belfry Apr 5, 2018, 8:50 AM

#

what if there was like a prestige system where if ya hit lvl cap you get like a milatary rank for drawves and a little symbol next to your name and the higher you got the more difficult the missions could get

fallow river Apr 5, 2018, 9:09 AM

#

could we have a beacon

#

For where the heavy lifter drops?

#

Has anyone else died to it?

#

Or am i just stupid

lean haven Apr 5, 2018, 9:11 AM

#

welllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

#

yes others have died to it

#

you're not exactly stupid for it

#

just unlucky

fallow river Apr 5, 2018, 9:11 AM

#

we just had a game

#

Walked out of the pod

#

Were shooting up the dudes to clear area and the thing landed on us with no warning

lean haven Apr 5, 2018, 9:11 AM

#

you should stay near the drop pod until the mining head drops in

fallow river Apr 5, 2018, 9:12 AM

#

we were

#

Literally right next to it

lean haven Apr 5, 2018, 9:12 AM

#

a beacon would be a good thing though

viral bridge Apr 5, 2018, 9:37 AM

#

On a side note: There really should be a way to cancel out of joining a session (when "Joining..." is displayed), if you misclicked...
(e.g. by pressing 'ESC')

fallow river Apr 5, 2018, 9:40 AM

#

yeah

#

agree ive had that problem

mossy barn Apr 5, 2018, 9:45 AM

#

Is there any way to send molly to a point with your laser scanner, instead of having to call it to where you are standing? because that would be cool.

fallow river Apr 5, 2018, 11:19 AM

#

That moment when molly comes up and psuhes you off a platform

visual egret Apr 5, 2018, 11:19 AM

#

some times its annoying trying to get up to some mineral as the driller. marking it and trying to make your way there before it poofs. maybe make it so marked minerals can be seen by pressing control?

fallow river Apr 5, 2018, 11:19 AM

#

Like it highlights enemies?

visual egret Apr 5, 2018, 11:20 AM

#

yeah

fallow river Apr 5, 2018, 11:20 AM

#

That would be good

quick venture Apr 5, 2018, 11:20 AM

#

like an x-ray vision for already marked minerals?

visual egret Apr 5, 2018, 11:20 AM

#

yeah

quick venture Apr 5, 2018, 11:20 AM

#

I think that would be pretty usefull

#

and would allow more space for exploration. When you are for example in a big dark cave you can highlight everything first and then start mining

visual egret Apr 5, 2018, 11:21 AM

#

yeah that would make things a bit quicker

#

maybe even just make it a scout skill

#

his marker being more usefull

glacial wedge Apr 5, 2018, 11:23 AM

#

or finally update the map scanner so it's useful

#

maybe give it a more 3d map, and an ability to mark minerals close by

fallow river Apr 5, 2018, 11:24 AM

#

If it could mark dirt

#

so that you dont get stuck looking for exits

glacial wedge Apr 5, 2018, 11:24 AM

#

So far i almost never use it

#

Besides checking which direction i should dig dirt to get to the next part

visual egret Apr 5, 2018, 11:24 AM

#

lol yeah what in the world is the map for

fallow river Apr 5, 2018, 11:24 AM

#

same

visual egret Apr 5, 2018, 11:24 AM

#

its way too close

glacial wedge Apr 5, 2018, 11:25 AM

#

it doesnt help at all

visual egret Apr 5, 2018, 11:26 AM

#

i find that the scout doesn't have anything that assists the team very well. a very bright flare just gets rid of the dark. mostly only useful it the massive ass caves. so i find all this scouting stuff should just be handed to him

glacial wedge Apr 5, 2018, 11:27 AM

#

Well yeah that's the point

#

He goes in a cave, lights it up

#

Marks the dangers

visual egret Apr 5, 2018, 11:29 AM

#

it might just be me not enjoying the class as much as others. i just think he should have more.

#

trying to fit this idea of marking minerals. maybe his flare marks stuff right away if its in its light

glacial wedge Apr 5, 2018, 11:32 AM

#

He's still my favourite class

#

Mostly because of the grappling hook

scarlet crane Apr 5, 2018, 11:32 AM

#

I have just finished playing 3h as scout, he does his job quite well and the white flares vs everyone's orange ones make a much bigger difference then you normally would expect. the shotgun is a little underwhelming when compared to the rifle, but I think that is more because the rife is really strong (imo)

glacial wedge Apr 5, 2018, 11:33 AM

#

oh the double barrel can pack a punch if used well, though

#

Especially upgraded

scarlet crane Apr 5, 2018, 11:33 AM

#

and I'm unsure about the hook, I find myself falling to my death far more then actually getting anywhere I wanted to go XD

glacial wedge Apr 5, 2018, 11:33 AM

#

It takes a while to get used to

visual egret Apr 5, 2018, 11:33 AM

#

same here

fallow river Apr 5, 2018, 11:33 AM

#

The engineer scout combo is great tho

#

Platform + hook

glacial wedge Apr 5, 2018, 11:33 AM

#

^

scarlet crane Apr 5, 2018, 11:34 AM

#

I find the lack of momentum kinda 'meh' when it comes to the hook

glacial wedge Apr 5, 2018, 11:34 AM

#

Btw, we should move conversations like this to general before mods come sweep us out

fallow river Apr 5, 2018, 11:34 AM

#

Havent tried scout or driller yet tho

#

But marking the minerals with flare is cool

scarlet crane Apr 5, 2018, 11:34 AM

#

to be fair we were playing drill/scout

visual egret Apr 5, 2018, 11:34 AM

#

hey we are voiceing what we think would be good. they can cherry pick are ideas from this owo

glacial wedge Apr 5, 2018, 11:35 AM

#

fair enough

visual egret Apr 5, 2018, 11:35 AM

#

how about his flare would make enemies bio luminescent like scorpions under UV light. like a bright neon blue

scarlet crane Apr 5, 2018, 11:36 AM

#

my suggestion would be some kind of momentum when the hook (on scout) finishes so you could 'fling' yourself or even maybe a swinging mechanic would be something nice? also everyone running the same speed seams like a oversight, but not a major one

visual egret Apr 5, 2018, 11:37 AM

#

oh how about an upgrade he can get for boots that absorb fall damage

glacial wedge Apr 5, 2018, 11:37 AM

#

He does have that

#

His last armour upgrade reduces fall damage

visual egret Apr 5, 2018, 11:37 AM

#

oh didnt notice

#

cool

glacial wedge Apr 5, 2018, 11:37 AM

#

yeah, every class has their own upgrade like that

scarlet crane Apr 5, 2018, 11:38 AM

#

by the time you unlock that though you already mastered the hook XD

glacial wedge Apr 5, 2018, 11:38 AM

#

No damage from gas for engie, no damage from flames for driller, less damage from explosions for gunner

#

Thats also true kandi

scarlet crane Apr 5, 2018, 11:39 AM

#

even if you kept the large reduction for the last armor and gave a smaller amount for when you started it would help the classes feel more unique when they are all first level

visual egret Apr 5, 2018, 11:40 AM

#

in the lobby. all those Molies. wouldn't it be cool if maybe one upgrade you could get or like... exchange for pistol or grenades would be to bring your very own tiny Molie with you to dump stuff into

glacial wedge Apr 5, 2018, 11:40 AM

#

having more than one bother, hell no

#

Bringing a bosco to help you, however

visual egret Apr 5, 2018, 11:41 AM

#

every one with there own bosco? i feel like the engie should have the choice of turrets or a bosco.

glacial wedge Apr 5, 2018, 11:41 AM

#

that'd be cool

scarlet crane Apr 5, 2018, 11:41 AM

#

I'm moving back to #drg-chat

glacial wedge Apr 5, 2018, 11:41 AM

#

but as it is now, bosco is too powerful

visual egret Apr 5, 2018, 11:42 AM

#

well it just need some changes. maybe no gun and it just helps mine. repalce the dirt gun

A glyphid which can dig to make a way for the others, so they can come from everywhere

glacial wedge Apr 5, 2018, 1:30 PM

well

#

they can come from anywhere already

#

I mean they already spawn from walls

fallow river Apr 5, 2018, 1:36 PM

#

Yeah but then molly will have even more ways to go

#

Its already bad enough with supply drops

#

XD

glacial wedge Apr 5, 2018, 1:37 PM

#

a burrowing entity would be interesting, though

#

like a rock worm

#

occasionally passing through

weary quiver Apr 5, 2018, 1:46 PM

#

Well caves are rather linear to find your way back

#

Molly is just a little aid 😁

#

In tunnels, they essentially spawn from front and behind. Could be nice to see some of them surprising us by the walls during the wave

wraith tide Apr 5, 2018, 2:25 PM

#

The search and extract/extermination caves are not linear

#

And technically neither is point extraction but that’s so small...

fallow river Apr 5, 2018, 2:50 PM

yheah most of the time they are linear

#

Its when they overlap

I don't know if you guys know about SCP foundation but one of their creature (named SCP-939) could easily fit into DRG. A red colored troglodite hound that can mimic humans voices and usually uses pleading voices to attract it's prey. That would be funny to have an enemy circling around and making the "hey /what about me / help/ over here" voiceline and attempting to fool people await from the rest of the team....well just like that god dammed barnacle (cave leech) but with sound queue and a predatory behavior

Rear-view mirror upgrade for the driller. please?

proven zephyr Apr 5, 2018, 8:08 PM

That would be very useful, especially if you have a sneaky exploder trying to take you out

drifting anchor Apr 5, 2018, 8:11 PM

#

why just for the driller tho

#

that's like a general improvement for all dorfs

idle quartz Apr 5, 2018, 8:20 PM

#

because hes the one the others usually guard while he drills

#

when making a tunnel he really vulnerable

#

also because hes the Drilldozer.

which is just a dwarf who is also a midget

so he's about one foot tall

flat bough Apr 5, 2018, 8:53 PM

#

I'd rather ask for a "late" game pick upgrade that allows the picks to make bigger holes

#

ones that dwarves can easily move through without needing to make 2 holes to match their height

hidden vine Apr 5, 2018, 9:01 PM

#

i think if they were to change the pickaxe's area of effect they should make it a little bit wider along the x axis

#

i think having to mine two "blocks" vertically to fit through a hole makes sense

#

but having to mine even more into the rock horizontally kinda sucks

Glad we agree that there should be a Squad #17

shadow night Apr 6, 2018, 5:49 AM

#

you can fit through a 1X2 hole though

#

and for the fake miner giving out audios

#

i think that would be hard since those also give an outline of the shouting dwarf

hidden vine Apr 6, 2018, 5:59 AM

#

yeah you can fit though a 1x2 hole, but when you are trying to scale a wall

#

you gotta dig 2x2

#

unless you want to slip and fall down

#

i probably should have clarified thats what i was talking about earlier

@shadow night Nah not really the shout out sound queue and the outline are two diff line of code one goes to load a soundfile while the other is a graphic outline it's not that hard to have only one active really

if you hear a shout and see no outline you instantly know theres a faker around

blazing plaza Apr 7, 2018, 6:20 AM

#

a little visual screen shake when firing would help give the weapons a sense of weight.

#

have flares be anchored into the wall or floor when you aim right next to them

#

just a little more map detail as you discover the space? it would be nice if marked or scanned materials showed up on the map after you point them out

keep up the great work i really like this game. there is a lot of potential here

it's really difficult sometimes to stay alive with all the stuff happening at same time and keep a good aim with the hook to not kill yourself while grappling

viscid bloom Apr 7, 2018, 1:34 PM

I was thinking it would be cool to have something like a raid. A much more challenging/longer mission that would have a nice payout or something rare?

blazing plaza Apr 7, 2018, 2:27 PM

#

a “Tremors” like ground effect when large bugs are approaching

#

goblin raiders: you could add situations where there is a competing team of goblin miners or raiders. raiders could attack the mule in an effort to take your loot and your team would need to defend it. and you could race against the competing mining team or find them to taken them out and steal their loot.

Or atleast at the edge of the planets crust

Increase the sound of both far-away cave leeches and very nearby exploder glyphids as they prime to explode, so we have a second to realise the danger behind us while mining, before all our health and shields are instantly removed.

#

I like the idea of dwarves having to look out for one another while resource gathering, but instantly dying to an unseen, unheard danger seems a little excessive.

im ok with critters clipping through thin walls for reasons but the big bugs wayyy too often just appear all around you pinning you to tight spots

idle quartz Apr 7, 2018, 7:11 PM

#

eh. Exploders DO make a sound and you CAN get away from them upon hearing it unless you are otherwise obstructed. Exploders may need some tweaks though..

#

still really think just headshotting them should stop the blast.

#

that way you could strategically still detonate them from ranged to kill other bugs, OR blast their head off to stop the boom.

A trapper class could be added with let's say a crossbow or sniper , with a new pistol and he could have let's say some weird bear traps and as a navigation tool maybe he could have just a rope he could place on ledges or a camp fire he could set up to heal every one a little and a funny animation could be everyboddy dancing and having a beer around the fire. Another great class could be an old-school dwarf with like a hammer and a tromplon that could forge some protection for the team like a metal platform with walls and as for navigation he might have explosives good against walls or torches. Finally a ground breaking class that would ''live of the land'' collecting stuff on fallen enemies to use as weapon like shread their legs to fight and use the special types of spider to make bombs like a poison bomb with the green , a spider web bomb , an acid bomb to break walls etc...

The scientist class could have a rail gun as a main weapon (high dmg, low ammo, far shot distance that has very minimal drop off), tesla cannon (arcs to multi. enemies, charge-up required, low ammo + base damage, can upgrade for increased dmg the longer the trigger is held), acid grenades (leaves a dmg ring for 3sec, upgrade to more dmg+additional 2sec), jet pack(low fuel, high lift, making it harder to control/master), Mutagenic Neural Disruption Focused Cannon [M.N.D.F.C.] (takes control of ONLY small bugs, warriors, and spitters, making them temp. allies, upgrade to have explode after death/wear off period, stuns larger enemies and kills exploders[SIDE EFFECT: makes exploders more volatile])

plucky wraith Apr 7, 2018, 8:48 PM

#

another big thing for me would be to mix missions up with new objectives and more risk/reward during the actual mission which could be achieved by getting random calls from the radio guy to go do some very dangerous random events in room that are closed , for exemple a big boss monster that was in cage but broke free , miners in danger or a room filled with electic crystal and monsters containg an old dwarf ruin with dwarf skelletons and a big reward like an exiting chest containing whathever you decide like minerals , cosmetics , guns etc..

uncut palm Apr 7, 2018, 9:20 PM

What if there was a supply drop but instead of ammo and health, it dropped defence supplies like barbed wire (to slow and damage enemies), scanner (to spot enemies), a light source, and a basic turret that needs a player to aim and fire. It would cost more than 80 nitra though so it isn't over powered. Then players take the supplies from the pod and place them down and use them. This idea can be changed if need be.

wide wing Apr 8, 2018, 12:41 AM

#

@Elementalflux#7046 I think this would work best in some kind of stronghold scenario, perhaps some gathering objective where you have to stay near something that periodically produces the item you need, therefore heavy defence is required.

royal basin Apr 8, 2018, 12:54 AM

#

That would be cool

lean haven Apr 8, 2018, 1:39 AM

#

We had floodlights and sentry calldowns during the alpha phase, they got removed for being too op, the barbwire/defenses thing was something the devs had back in the project dwarka phase that they decided not to use for whatever reason, and the scanner has been suggested before

#

The manual turret twist is a newer take on the calldown sentry bit though. I wonder if they'd be interested in that

lethal spindle Apr 8, 2018, 8:15 AM

#

Why is the Bacon Shuttle delayed? Because it has crashed, the cargo has scattered, and the local fauna has buried it all over the place. It will take a crack-crew of dwarves to retrieve the cached cargo and save breakfast. Mission name: Bringing Home the Bacon.

oblique violet Apr 8, 2018, 10:18 AM

#

i believe splitting the armour into pieces (arms+shoulders, chest, legs +waist and backpack would allow for more class customization. i also think that allowing players to paint parts of the armours different colours would be better.
to change what we currently have would be simple

armours come in sets, you have to buy the whole set even if you just want lets say the backpack

the sets also come with 1 paint pattern and set of colours. different patterns would allow for different paint designs

also to apply this to the supporters bundle, instead of gold amour, it would give the T2 armour set + gold paint + pattern

as i supporter id think it would be wayyyy better to be able to apply a gold 'trim' to other sets (including future sets) rather then jsut have 1 gold armour and no reason to try get other armours

would love to see some feedback on this idea

marble narwhal Apr 8, 2018, 11:09 AM

While i love the low poly aesthetic of this game some areas needs some more detail, like the octagonal corridors on the ship. They need something that makes them not look like an unfinished asset in blender. Very miner complaint i have about an amazing game.

maybe theres different divisions/detachments of dwarves

boreal lintel Apr 8, 2018, 3:23 PM

#

@quick venture The glowing sticks cannot light up an entire cavern at once, particularly upper layers and ceiling. The scout has a limited supply of flares (which I think are too dim) but without a scout, it can be difficult to illuminate a large area.

lavish isle Apr 8, 2018, 4:42 PM

I'm sure this has already been suggested but fire burns stuff and it should burn those blasted spider webs to hell in this game too.

Scanners that can tell you if there are anymore caves to explore, how man enemies/how close they are and how much ore is left behind by lazy people.

drifting lava Apr 8, 2018, 4:49 PM

#

Scout's flares are definitely too dim

#

I may be misremembering it, but I remember them being way more helpful in the early days when we had bigger caves

#

In today's caves, you need to shoot several at walls to mildly illuminate the place -- shooting at the ceiling sometimes doesn't even reach the ground.

wide wing Apr 8, 2018, 6:50 PM

#

Having markers that you can place down yourself would be nice

#

sometimes people run off ahead and molly walks through the floor or walls, leaving me in a dark maze I can't escape.

#

So distinct markers would be nice

tidal sandal Apr 8, 2018, 7:01 PM

#

My ideas so far:

Signs/flags you can place down for directions
Surface Mining in like space suits or something?
Mission where you use one of these (but much bigger). You help defend it while it mines, and it stops periodically at an area with caves to clear out or so, then if your not back on in a certain amount of time, your left behind to be swarmed. Extract would be it returning to the surface or something?
https://www.recommon.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Telescopic_Shielded_TBM-210x300.jpg
A satchel charge named Demolition/Demo Pack that is great at clearing out large areas of minerals, but low dmg to enemies.

boreal lintel Apr 8, 2018, 7:58 PM

#

How about a gamemode called Demolition where charges must be set in specific places in order to trigger a huge cave-in, all while a constant horde increases in strength with time? The race to the pod would be quite a finale.

timid agate Apr 8, 2018, 9:26 PM

things I personally would think could fit the game well. (might be a little clique)
1.more weapons so u had a few to choose from + secondary effects for ur primary weapon, maybe with some kind of cooldown that would make it feel more special to use.
2.more options to upgrade weapons + different paths u would choose between depending on play style
3.different stats for the classes: life/shield/damage/speed. so the dwarfs would feel more like different classes besides the equipment.
great game so far with a big potential!

Anyone have an idea for what the Abyss Bar would be like?
I've had a lot of unused materials and since we collect Morkite to make Morkite Ale, why not make more brews?

Go to the bar, get a drink and spend say, two Jadiz to put in your drink for a small damage boost for a mission,
I don't really want to put what mineral does what, but I think it would be a neat addition and would put in use of minerals that are just lying around in my mineral bank.

Deep Rock themed arcade game: Pod Deployer. You have an orbital view of the planet and are getting a non-stop stream of Supply Pod and Drop Pod requests. An outilne of their cavern system flashes on the screen with each request, along with their current location within.

Just a thought though

lean haven Apr 9, 2018, 4:25 AM

I don't think it's a bad idea, just needs a little fleshing out

#

Would it be hunting trophies, like glyphid heads adorning the walls, or more modern metal trophies stowed in a case? Are they unlocked like the stuff in the memorial hall, where you just level up and they're given to you, are they boss rewards, or are they something you have to do a mixture of both and then craft/purchase?

static plinth Apr 9, 2018, 4:28 AM

#

I feel like it should be hunted or purchased rather than something unlocked with a level up

#

Maybe if we get Steam achievements we'd see a physical display of those through trophy items?

#

And it could be something we'd be able to invest resources into once we've purchased all our upgrades

#

Just being able to decorate the room with jewels made from different types of resources or something along that line possibly?

lean haven Apr 9, 2018, 4:32 AM

That could work as a sort of filler for the spawn rooms. I had made a mention of them being a bit barebones a while back and needing to look more lived in, what with them being occupied by miners for an indeterminate amount of time. Make the rooms a little messy, put some posters on the walls, a trophy or two on the shelf like you suggested, etc

I like that idea

#

What about challenges at the shooting range for trophies as well?

lean haven Apr 9, 2018, 4:55 AM

#

I think it'd have to be a rather challenging task for whatever trophy was offered, like a 1 shot 1 kill challenge where the player has one bullet for each target and a time limit to hit them all

#

Maybe give a few extra rounds to allow for a mistake or two

Hi all, I would like to add a suggestion: Some kind of prestige system if you hit lvl20 on all characters to be able to reset them

#

progress of each "prestige reset" could be stored with some little stars (going from bronze to gold/diamant) with same small perks like additional bonus xp or sth like that

lean haven Apr 9, 2018, 5:35 AM

#

You can reset your stats/progress through the options menu currently if you want to, although it's not a prestige system.

raven goblet Apr 9, 2018, 5:36 AM

#

will you then also loose all the upgrades / minerals?

solid dune Apr 9, 2018, 5:38 AM

currently yes, a reset wipes everything

Hi giraffey :)

Welcome to everything about progressing a character from the open alpha

It bothers me that you have a Lvl 20 already. 😉

eager vale Apr 9, 2018, 2:41 PM

#

Once you hit 20 it’s boring

drifting lava Apr 9, 2018, 4:27 PM

#

Open alpha had no progression, so it was less jarring

#

You can't be bothered about not getting levels if there are no levels

#

But when you are perpetually stuck as a newbie miner lvl 10 because you are playing the class you like, it is bothersome

tropic raven Apr 9, 2018, 6:02 PM

#

This problem is easily solved by playing other classes

#

You are complaining about an issue you created yourself

limber drum Apr 9, 2018, 6:09 PM

#

Yeah or hitting the reset button
Honestly just wait till the game have more features if you think "right now it's boring because X", there is alot more game waiting for you in the mean time

drifting lava Apr 9, 2018, 6:20 PM

#

Yeah, me not getting account XP for playing as the class that I have fun as

#

That's a problem I'm creating

tropic raven Apr 9, 2018, 6:30 PM

#

it's like playing through a quarter of a game, choosing not to play the other three quarters, then complaining that you ran out of game to play

#

if you want to keep getting experience, play other characters

#

if you don't want to play other characters, stop caring about arbitrary numbers

#

your level has zero effect on anything

drifting lava Apr 9, 2018, 6:34 PM

#

Eh, not really

#

The whole point of a class system is not "more content", it's choice

#

Play as you like, as you have fun, or with what you're good at

#

Having all experience after you reach level 20 stop counting for your account level is not a "feature", it's an oversight

tropic raven Apr 9, 2018, 6:37 PM

#

your overall level is based on the cumulative levels of every class combined, I don't see how that's an oversight

#

it makes no difference whatsoever to the game

#

you were talking about it as though levelling up was the entire appeal, so I just followed that logic in my response

idle quartz Apr 9, 2018, 7:09 PM

Luckily you can see both someones character and account level in game, rather than just account level, which could make it an issue.

Another "issue" we can talk about is the zippline cheese strat.. now i know a lot of people use it and love it and i am on of those but it's clearly an abuse (unless you consider that avoiding a team wipe by hanging on a line is fair game). Shouldn't it be destrucible like the platforms or even allowed for the lil critters to walk on it just to shoo away those hanging dwarves ?

nova wing Apr 9, 2018, 8:51 PM

#

The acid spitter variant from the glyphids isn't that terrifing so unless they suddenly decide to add an acid pool effect were the projectile will land it wont be terrific. I would be more scared if the glyphid can suddenly crawl on the cable and attack us from both side.

#

Or it's just a giant farting fly that will send us flying off the cable

#

that can work too

idle quartz Apr 9, 2018, 9:32 PM

imo acid spitters should put a slow burn dot on you that basically keeps shield from regenerating for the duration. At least it'd be somehing.

I'd prefer Mule upgrades. Better lights, maybe a turret.

Alt-fire on Scout shotgun, to fire both barrels?

distant island Apr 10, 2018, 2:36 AM

#

So I was coming up with an idea for a new mission structure.

Similar to point extraction, Molly would be absent. Instead, your team is escorting a heavy-duty mining mech/walker. This walker will move around and hunt for Large resource nodes which only it is capable of mining out (the players can't mine it themselves). When it is walking around it lumbers slowly and has limited defensive capabilities, but while mining the nodes it will be completely defenseless and attract a lot of enemy attention, meaning the players must defend it from taking too much damage

Mechanically it'd be a "defend the structure from waves" type mission, but with a twist in that the mech moves from place to place with each wave, discouraging heavy turtling and forcing players to adapt to new environments quickly. Secondary objectives can be the usual affair, with gold, nitra and crafting materials being mineable and deposited on the mech.

Thoughts?

A 17th Squad

eager vale Apr 10, 2018, 3:02 AM

So my fav suggestion I’ve ever seen is giving engineer a different mobility ability that being a expanding foam thrower kinda like that wasp spray that clogs their holes up.

This would be very useful for building ramps/staircases and blocking holes up so bugs can’t get through, also make it so bugs could break it down slowly so it’s a temporary fix for a big problem.

You could upgrade it by adding more ammo, range, and durability

#

Also can we have spotlights back plz those were awesome for big caves like in sandblasted

drifting lava Apr 10, 2018, 3:07 AM

#

I agree, Engi is definitely the least mobile dwarf right now

#

Bugs and Molly need to stop walking through walls and platforms 😛

eager vale Apr 10, 2018, 3:08 AM

#

I kinda want it to make that noise of those bug sprays to just for the comic relief 🤣

lucid oxide Apr 10, 2018, 3:14 AM

#

Here's an ambitious one: equipment variants.
Give each class multiple variations of their gear. Each slot keeps it's functional item, just alternate variations of said item.
An example being the engineer's primary shotgun. Adding a version of it that's closer to the scout's sawed off by reducing fire rate but increasing the number of pellets. Proportionally reducing the max ammo so the net amount of potential damage per full ammo count remains the same.
In summary: I'm looking at having equipment variants that do the same thing functionally, but handle a little different.

distant island Apr 10, 2018, 3:17 AM

#

Another idea similar to the above: Weapon skins.

And no i don't mean the same exact looking weapon just with a different coat of paint: I mean a weapon that functions the same but looks completely different, for example driller could replace his drills with a pair of Jackhammer-esque power tools.

royal basin Apr 10, 2018, 3:42 AM

#

or as you upgrade the drills they change color to the black fully upgraded armor?

idle quartz Apr 10, 2018, 3:53 AM

or we could actually get jackhammer arms instead of drills that function different, as they should 😛 they'd need whole different sound effects and probably wouldnt overheat.

@distant island Zelos had what I think is a better themed version of the game mode you proposed: Zelos - Yesterday at 2:01 PM
My ideas so far:

Signs/flags you can place down for directions
Surface Mining in like space suits or something?
Mission where you use one of these (but much bigger). You help defend it while it mines, and it stops periodically at an area with caves to clear out or so, then if your not back on in a certain amount of time, your left behind to be swarmed. Extract would be it returning to the surface or something?
https://www.recommon.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Telescopic_Shielded_TBM-210x300.jpg
A satchel charge named Demolition/Demo Pack that is great at clearing out large areas of minerals, but low dmg to enemies.

A creature that I drew up and hopefully can be used in game!

“Glyphid Hawker”

5 Health / 10 Damage

A small-medium sized creature with a long wingspan, mace shaped tail used for balance, quick direction changes and striking their foes. Red diamonds are their coarse identifiers..and the defining screech.

uses a swooping attack and swings its mace-like tail downwards to smash dwarfs on their unprotected heads.

Fast moving

Best defense is a shot gun or flamer

By and large looks like an awesome set of suggestions! I especially love the idea regarding dwarves literally pushing the driller so his drills go faster (driller fan here) this would hopefully allow the driller to be much more efficient with drill fuel and allow a full escape pod tunnel to be drilled with a lower minimum fuel.

I quickly learned to save my drill fuel on low nitro missions

Just like there are rare ores, perhaps there should be some rare monster variations with special drops?

I'd like that, challenge mini bosses (other than dreadnaught) that either come after you (like before mention boss) but drops stuff (pearl, bittergem, jadiz, whatever. Or maybe just standard resource like gold/nitra) and other bosses that you can "find" in offshoot or hidden cave systems. They should have a different style like jumping from floor to wall, spitting, lunging, etc.

#

and maybe have dreadnaught drop "compressed nitra" as the reward and ammo spent on it could be circumvented? that or have it drop something nice

I would love an upgrade for the gunners revolver to have a 6 shot cylinder. . there is likely a potential for sidegrades. Such as a larger mag but the trade off is a slower reload. Or a attached heatsink for the chaingun which allows more time before overrheat but cools slower . a multishot grappling hook but with half the range.

@drifting lava a bit counter intuitive, for console/controller users that would work perfectly, but PC has full remap-ability, so I’d give that and a single key toggle for secondary weapon function (such as “Q” or one of the side mouse buttons)

a scanner, like those from mw2 or alien vs predator, to show nearby cyphids

Maybe an armor balance between characters making more armored characters slower but take more damage as I just realized the scout and driller have the same armor but the driller looks to have a lot more armor on

idle quartz Apr 11, 2018, 7:16 PM

#

everyone has the same hp/shield currently, would also like a little diversity in that regard

main olive Apr 11, 2018, 7:27 PM

#

now are you talking shield damage or damage to hp? because Shields I take it as legit energy shielding, so you "could" be upgrading it's capacity to nagate outside forces, and their ability to be upgraded against their targetted types (fire, gas, explosive, fall?) However once that is gone I agree those with more armor should take less HP damage when the shields are gone (Gunner, Driller)

New enemies. Like biome specific foes. A crystal golem for salt flats that takes damage only after a short rampage animation, a spore congegation that has a cave leech arm on it's back for the biozone, a radiation glyphid for the rad zone (has a damaging aura, while being large enough to reguarly catch people in it), or flame spewing glyphid for the (area with all the fiery explosive vents)

#

Just to name a few

main olive Apr 11, 2018, 10:15 PM

#

Now that's saying these bugs are an adaptive species, however since (so far could just be because lack of content at the moment) all bugs are ideally the same across Hox (since all biomes are on the same planetoid)

There are already an infant stage (swarmer and spawner swarmer), teenage/adult stage Warrior, defender adult/elder Pretorian. And the strange fireball spitting dreadnaught

But with in mind "exploders, acid spitters, and webbers" could attribute to at least the Spore congegation, as in some paracidic entites will possess ants/slugs/snails and force them to be in danger to be eaten by larger prey to continue their cycle. So a Glypid (dreadnaught/pretorian?) that has been infected by a cave leech larva, or a type of spore/fungal growth that cave leeches are also attracted to making home to. Could Support the Spore congegation idea

#

I'm iffy on the Cystal Golem and Rad Bug, as Radation is kinda the bane of anything living/organic. Golem being idk if there is magic in the given universe

#

But that doesn't mean there could be a thunder bug, or have dreadnaughts that appear in these biomes be unique. However only 4 make sense? Crystal Caverns would be electric spewing Dread, Fungus Bogs would be gas puking/spraying Dread, Dense Biozone Sticky tongue dread?, Magma Core the current fire breathing dread.

However that leaves out Radioactive Zone, Salt Pits, and Sand Corridors

#

but yeah I'd like to see some sort of biome related special ceatures even if not a Glypid

proven zephyr Apr 11, 2018, 11:26 PM

#

@main olive With the salt pits, you could get a caustic dread with a very potent DOT caustic spit ball, radioactive zone could have a dread with a natural radiation immunity (like a cockroach) and has an armour of rad crystals (he would glow brightly and would look albino) (no spit attack but a rad DOT to the dwarves if close to him), sand corridors dreads could have temporarily flight (due to a mutation from the bee-like creatures), but lacks an armour shell, spit attack could slow you (you’d be covered in a honey like substance [possible screen distortion?])

main olive Apr 12, 2018, 12:09 AM

#

hmmm flying webbing dread in sand corridor. Sounds do-able if they don't get too many issues with flying AI pathfinding

#

I guess Bosco is doing ok in that regard

proven zephyr Apr 12, 2018, 12:59 AM

#

I tried my best in balancing them, ability-wise

#

All would be fearsome to face as well

#

The rad dread might be the one to kill you the quickest though, just because of the nature of “be far enough away to not be harmed by the radiation, but close enough to make your shots count”

gusty tree Apr 12, 2018, 2:06 AM

#

Silly question, but needs to be asked - why can you turn off your headlamp? Does anyone actually do it? and if so, why? Because my suggestion in the suggestions would be to remove the ability to turn off the headlamp if there really is no reason (found I've accidently done it and had to turn it back on).

last wasp Apr 12, 2018, 2:06 AM

#

Can help you see the glow from eggs/gems in walls better

#

That's basically why, can be very helpful in some biomes

#

I WOULD like a little icon that lets you know its on or not tho, cuz I forget to turn it back on too :p

Will you guys update the reload animations
I love their sounds but the scout just cocks his gun and doesn’t take out out a clip

They actually will it seems, Gunner pistol gets a reload one next patch

near glacier Apr 12, 2018, 3:37 AM

#

What about portable vehicles? Like...jetpacks, or in a special area (harder enemys) some type of "tank", a drillercar...

#

and about the gunner zipline, we cant pick anything while in zipline, cuz action and reverse button are the same. Hold to pick a item in zipline may be a great solution

main olive Apr 12, 2018, 4:22 AM

#

or set prioity of "pickable" items above zipline

trim creek Apr 12, 2018, 4:37 AM

i believe in their AMA they said they werent a fan of vehicles at the moment

round spoke Apr 12, 2018, 8:05 AM

#

They should add in as a consumable item some rope ladders. Like 50 credits is a section of a rope ladder. There would be a place to buy them on the space station, but once you're down there, you can't order any more. Could be useful for the driller and the engineer, seeing as how they don't have zip lines.

fair bridge Apr 12, 2018, 10:23 AM

#

each dwarf has his own method of movement, if anything the Gunner feels the most restrictive due to 3-4 ziplines and trying to make them count for the team. The driller can carve a slope out of any wall and the engineer can chunk out platform stairs just as easily.

round spoke Apr 12, 2018, 11:13 AM

#

True, but, there are few ways to move vertically without expending ammo. I just think that there should be more uses for credits and consumable items could be an interesting idea.

I would love to keep the headlight toggle there, I like turning it off every now and then, no real reason I just like to, that's just my opinion tho.

#

(Earlier question on the headlight)

blazing plaza Apr 12, 2018, 1:14 PM

#

i think adding too many mobility options would flatten the experience. the platforming and navigation is one of the primary hooks for this game. as well as one of the main sources of challenge. i think vehicles and mobility sound great but might actually make things too easy.

eager vale Apr 12, 2018, 1:15 PM

#

Don’t add anything to intense in the mobility aspect because it will make the game a lot easier they also need to add haz5 back into the game

flat sun Apr 12, 2018, 1:18 PM

I would love to see haz 5, it was previously in the game?

@rain fog was talking about the lack of money sinking mechanics (ingame), maybe the future introduction of the Abyss Bar will solve that with some gambling games, slot machine, I don't know what's your plans there (evil suggest: make the Jukebox cost 1 Credit)

rain fog Apr 12, 2018, 1:52 PM

#

yes, though 1 credit for the juke box is not gonna sink your economy, unless you really fancy music and dancing :-)¨

strong ether Apr 12, 2018, 1:53 PM

I would sink 500 credits just to have my favorite Disco tune 😄

That Abyss bar though......

eager vale Apr 12, 2018, 1:54 PM

Mekill! Good morning/evening I would love to see some of that money sinking stuff when the abyss bar comes out also bar fights please drunken bar fights

strong ether Apr 12, 2018, 1:56 PM

I think the Abyss Bar should be moved on the first floor when introduce (on the right when you near the jukebox), the second floor is more for the little bonus/management/lore

Meh I wanna see what they have planned for the 2 rooms already down their

One is a Medbay, and the other a kind of teleport room?

dense bramble Apr 12, 2018, 1:58 PM

Maybe this is just an issue that I have, but I find myself pressing control a lot when I play multiplayer missions. If there were an option to toggle seeing where everything/everyone is, I believe the game would be slightly less tedious.

eager vale Apr 12, 2018, 1:58 PM

oh okay @lean haven I figured it would be harder

eager vale Apr 12, 2018, 2:04 PM

#

What

#

Oh

#

It will be if they add it again they just compressed the difficultys

#

So my fav suggestion I’ve ever seen is giving engineer a different mobility ability that being a expanding foam thrower kinda like that wasp spray that clogs their holes up.

This would be very useful for building ramps/staircases and blocking holes up so bugs can’t get through, also make it so bugs could break it down slowly so it’s a temporary fix for a big problem.

You could upgrade it by adding more ammo, range, and durability

#

Also would be able to block swarmer holes

split lotus Apr 12, 2018, 2:08 PM

Have a leak for tomorrow's update.

#

They're adding 1 more barrel to the barrels in the lobby.

viral bridge Apr 12, 2018, 2:09 PM

A Bar stocked with a few interesting minigames might be the way to have players spend some of their hard earned credits, while waiting for the (next) mission to start. Even if it's not the most effective way.

I'm thinking Pickaxe-Toss (Darts), Whack-A-Bug (Whack-A-Mole), Arm-Wrestling, Beverages (with different effects - some cosmetic (change the color palette(s) of certain mobs, like Praetorians, randomly - purple, instead of green, say); some with buffs, like a +3% bonus to all or some minerals collected - could last 1h or so), etc. ...

eager vale Apr 12, 2018, 2:10 PM

I still want drunken bar fights with fists over credits or gold

strong ether Apr 12, 2018, 2:12 PM

#

You can also add some classic slot machine to loss money, I love the Beverages idea (just make it stay for 1 mission)
This could lead to funny achievement like: Win an Hazard 4 with 4 Drunk Dwarves

eager vale Apr 12, 2018, 2:17 PM

#

We need a hardcore mode : constant swarms : occasional boss mobs : high glyph is armor : higher leech spawns : higher spitballer spawn : higher environmental hazards: less ammo : maybe random mutations for missions like less ammo or lower dmg not only negative ones but it could also be a buff such as higher dmg or more ammo

The unstable crystals were a good start..

wide prawn Apr 12, 2018, 2:28 PM

I actually really like the idea of a foam gun.

#

I'd take a foam gun over a platform gun, make walkways, seal holes, etc..

Like the GLOO Cannon from Prey

strong ether Apr 12, 2018, 2:35 PM

This could be a good idea for a future loadout project, nice gun remplacement for the Engineer (technically it's the same weapon but with smaller "platform", more ammo and different sound effect/model)

eager vale Apr 12, 2018, 2:36 PM

#

Just add alternate mobility enhancements for the classes or like make the guns have different customizations like a different nozzle for the platform gun or like longer slower grappling hook

#

Or faster drills that burn out faster

#

Kinda like attachments for the weapons

#

Make it a constant stream of foam that has very short range

#

Or just regular old platform gun

wide prawn Apr 12, 2018, 2:40 PM

#

I'd love to be able to choose between the platform gun and a GLOO cannon

#

Like, I'd much rather have a platform gun in the dense biozone, but I'd take a GLOO cannon to the crystal caverns

viral bridge Apr 12, 2018, 2:46 PM

Foam Gun could be used to (temporarily) block swarmer tunnels or slow an individual / targeted Glyphid's attack or movement speed.

swift crow Apr 12, 2018, 2:54 PM

Have you considered showing how large % of available rare minerals you found/mined when you complete a mission? Kinda like how in DOOM the game shows you how many secrets you missed after you complete a level. Might help new players understand that they're missing something!

eager vale Apr 12, 2018, 2:59 PM

#

Yea please that would be cool but I don’t think it would be easy to implement because in doom it’s not random gen

#

So their is a set amount of materials it in drg I believe it’s entirely random

swift crow Apr 12, 2018, 3:17 PM

Maybe the game could do a check.

After mission.

I want a bubble shield generator as a grenade for engineer since he already has a grenade launcher. The bubble shield would stop bugs from entering a small vicinity for a limited time of half a min at max upgrade the bubble shield also has a health bar so the bugs can break it with some difficulty

#suggestions

armours come in sets, you have to buy the whole set even if you just want lets say the backpack

the sets also come with 1 paint pattern and set of colours. different patterns would allow for different paint designs

also to apply this to the supporters bundle, instead of gold amour, it would give the T2 armour set + gold paint + pattern
