Better flashlights. Not longer flashlights, but better ones. Me and my friends can’t ever see anything right in front of us without throwing a flair
mystic locust
@azure sigil I agree. Honestly kinda useless at times.
quartz edge
A beam like flash light instead of a broad spectrum beam. Makes things more tense
azure sigil
True, but that’s not even the case. They just suck. I’m shining my flashlight in a corner and I still cannot see a thing at all without throwing a flair
idle quartz
is that a monitor issue? is the room too bright? it has an effective 10.5m range of clear visibility 🤔 Or are you just in a really big room?
people are not going to like the "no flares" mode!
idle quartz
Real dwarfs have nightvision; so it aint a issue for me!
quartz edge
Canister shots for driller. He can pin point locations like the scanner which only he sees and shoots canisters of napalm from his back carriage and does half c4 dmg and flame duration dmg. Shoots 3 at a time
Super heat mode on the flamer, burns more fuel but longer range and dmg.
azure sigil
I would argue that it’s a brightness thing, if all my friends I play with didn’t say the same thing
They always complain the flashlights are useless
idle quartz
Hm... Ok; next update they should disable flashlights until people BEG for them to come back. Then they'll re-add them but they'll only have a 2m range and people will be thankful for it 🔦
literally a candle 🕯
lean haven
Mining canaries when?
vagrant violet
They need a close range buff if nothing else the flashlights
Don't need to be able to see down the entire cave system with it, just make out things at not right in front of your face
mystic locust
Add a shadow puppet mechanic with the flashlights plz.
vagrant violet
Oof
lean haven
If we had vr with full body tracking we could
idle quartz
Its tricky since the Flares are probably more important than the flashlight; and missions can be done without either, so its more of a bonus than a necessity
vagrant violet
True
idle quartz
They could make the flashlight BETTER but then they'd probably need to nerf flares.. Or they could make the flashlight better and add enemies/mechanics that take it away; so being without it would hurt.
Thats what game mechanics are; things you love that they want to take away to hurt you with.
last wasp
I mean, they could also just like.Turn it to what it was originally when it was somewhat useful
idle quartz
it "originally" was useful back when we had 15 flares per mission 😛
last wasp
That sounds awful
last wasp
That's still awful
viral bridge
Wasn't it 50 at some point? When did they switch to the current model? EA or Closed?
idle quartz
yeah it was bumped to 50, and then regenerating. Not sure which update changed it. Its one of those things where if you START the game as it is, you get used to it since you dont know anything else
but for first impressions it was harder; and they needed to make a lot of good first impressions so they bumped it up a lot. Maybe we'll get a mutator for it someday aye?
azure sigil
That’s what I’m saying though
I’m fine with the flashlights having short range. Cuz otherwise flairs and scout is useless
But you literally can’t see stuff right in front of you
idle quartz
🤔 screenshot example ?
idle quartz
Some people have been saying their flashlight has been turning itself off sometimes
and around flares it can be hard to tell
azure sigil
I wouldn’t mention it mindlessly
I’m aware of like... y’know. Stuff
smart sentence. Good job
fallow river
Maybe new class could have floodlights as a utility tool?
azure sigil
Kinda already what the scout does though
fallow river
But the flares duration is short
If you have it so it takes time to setup
Scout lights up the room to clear it out etc
Floodlights after the flares have gone and you are mining
idle quartz
Ideally, the scout should not be "lighting up the room". His primary advantage is that his flares have range and stick; he should light up what everyone else cant, high ceilings and walls
if ya look closely you can often spot'em without a scout
lean haven

idle quartz
it definitely makes it easier tho

like, the wall is -right there-
idle quartz
check the distance
azure sigil
i've already closed the game. lol
fallow river
It's good enough to find your way. Back, and most minerals glow anyway
idle quartz
oh, well in the second pciture Bosco is pointing at the wall too
azure sigil
Yea, i tried to send him away cuz i only really play multiplayer
idle quartz
should have a visual range of 10.5m, you gotta tag the spot to see the distance though cuz that things also bugged ><
azure sigil
and bosco kinda ruins my point. xD
idle quartz
@dense idol hey scroll up, does that light look right to you?
i mean it is a curve in the ground
idle quartz
if its more than 10.5 away its gonna be dark =/ you often do have to hug the walls and look back and forth, scanning the wall with the light. Its also why most materials reflect light and can be seen in the dark. Flashlights for like... not walking into a pit.
azure sigil
i mean i get the balance of equipment usage
i do. It's just...
the flashlight's range can be the same, but it just sorta needs to be beighter
brighter*
idle quartz
im taking some screenshots; sometimes the range appears to be a bit short
there is a wall there, 8m ahead
the light SHOULD hit the wall
azure sigil
but it doesnt. xP
at least it does, and it's just not bright enough to light it up
did you throw a flair after this screenshot?
idle quartz
nope

SUGGESTION: Can we get ledge grabbing to be less sensitive ? When im a driller and i tunnel downward, sometimes its hard even getting into the tunnel because it keeps trying to climb onto the lip of it
maybe make it angle sensitive, if you're looking DOWN you wont climb UP BIE™
lean haven
Yes please, I hate it when I try to go down a hole and bounce up over the entrance
safe berry
totally useful suggestion
Gunner can connect zip-lines together (when he arrives at one end, he can shot another zip-line and make it longer one long with a bend).
Also, if their angle is too big (30° and more), they can be used as one way only.
near glacier
Another small suggetsion:
Add night vision goggles as proggression item which you can take instead of flares.
-- Pros:
- you can see perfectly in the darkness
-- Cons: - Your vision range is pretty limited (farther than 15-20 m you can see only fog)
- You don't see minerals as usual, morkite for example will not glow dimly in night vision
- Every muzzle flash and explosion literally blinds you for short time
- Also, if someone will use flare, you will be blinded too
fallow river
It would only be useful for solo tho
And even then you each muzzle flash would make minigun useless
near glacier
🤔
idle quartz
not useful for solo, molly and bosco are a constant source of light you cant turn off
infared goggles tho sure
vagrant violet
Night vision wouldn't be something to useful in general past exploring in general
Now a better map would be nice, like a 3d render of the surrounding terrain
safe berry
Another suggestion:
Engineer can choose between multiple turret types. One of which can be light turret with infinite light source (it can either point where you point, or constantly shines around it-self within it's range)
near glacier
@safe berry it'd be nicer as well if the turrets shoot at what you point them at, basically a remote controlled gun, more accurate but needs you to stand still and point a laser pointer at the enemy, decent cause you can place them at the cave entrance and have it shoot at the enemies from behind.
BTW with the drill idea, you'd have a drill platform that goes down the hole, taking you with it, thus gravity would be lower and allow you to jump up while it goes down. The drill would reveal some resources but also collect some over time... thus you'd be using a mining laser connected to the drill by a cable to also collect the resources while it's going down the hole... when done, the drill would then call down the top part which has a thrust unit to give it out of there / cover for space travel.
magic mica
Yeah the engineer turrets needs some tweaking, I always find them not being used as much as I like
brazen parrot
I keep finding that sentries try to shoot through obstacles, which makes tactical funnelling kinda impossible because the turrets unload into the wall. . .
brazen parrot
The should make a high powered torch that runs on a battery life and has like 3 batteries until you need a resupply
safe berry
something that can glow for like 5 mins at least
safe berry
Suggestion:
Storage upgrade, or universal storage (so that you can carry like 120 units in total of anything)
near glacier
hey ppl
playing "find the aquarks" mission i found it hard to memorize where did we excavate target items and where we didnt
wouldnt it be great to have something like spray cans with light-reflecting paint to mark the way? Novices like me (without dwarven instincts) may find it useful.
solid gazelle
If there's a big hole in a wall of blue glowies it was probably excavated already. Also the chunks shine through the ground a little so if there's no distinct glow in the dark in one of those blue glowie areas it was also probably mined already.
I agree though it could be a bit more visible.
But for now those are the best tells.
near glacier
Just put flares around the hole to mark it
safe berry
when the main stuff is mined (egg or crystal) it should stop glowing totally
boreal lintel
I think @near glacier makes a good point. Perhaps the blue shards surrounding aquarq should become dim once it has been mined?
idle quartz
yeah its been requested; especially for eggs too.
boreal lintel
Of course.
Many a time have I continued drilling for eggs long after my teammate has already collected them.
near glacier
You need dwarfception
past abyss
@safe berry That spotlight sentry idea is really good
Another sentry idea would be a walking spider drone -- you get 1 assault drone (instead of 2 stationary sentries) that follows you around or goes to wherever you point.
It carries 200 rounds max, and you the player can only hold 200 additional rounds, not 400 like you can now. The spider drone runs at the speed of a glyphid swarmer.
The spider assault drone will walk to you when it has run out of ammo. If you "Recall" the drone, it simply walks (not flies) back to you -- you cannot pick it up/redeploy it. (You can still obviously refill the ammo of it though)
.
Basically this.
Here's a video of them in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mObY2pfThJ4&t=43s
trim creek
i dont have a lot of experience with engi, sentry doesnt take up an inventory spot right?
trim creek
oh, well thats good then
safe berry
Another suggestion for gunner. When yip-line is longer than current max length, it would use 2 of them (max length being now 60m).
trim creek
yea i think there could be some cool ideas for different types of sentries, maybe even a sentry item that only allows you to deploy one, but it fires out explosives instead
idle quartz
i'd like a singular sentry that can be thrown/sticks to walls and sets itself up
just a quick gun i can toss out

past abyss
neh - that's just negative yelling from players waiting to happen
safe berry
They have to fly to you, so almost instant
This is super crazy suggestiom.
Engineer can have a drone (like Molly) with one seat. It would allow him (or anyone who would be using it) to climb walls, but they wouldn't be able to do anything until they get out. Maybe it would have some fuel.
vagrant violet
It would be cool to see some new enemies, maybe one that digs through the terrain but doesn't terraform like how players can mine up the terrain
trim creek
do devs read this
oblique nacelle
Not actively, unless they are pinged

Has there been any word on more weapons and classes being added to the game?
vagrant violet
I know they wanna add a 5th class
Probably could do with some different weapons for the different classes
trim creek
I too would like to know that
vagrant violet
So you could swap out the weapons for other ones if you don't like them
So like the gunner could swap out his minigun for a gauss cannon or something
barren nimbus
Is there any place other then here that someone can drop class or weapons suggestions?

allow cave leeches to spawn at the bottom of vertically large tiles
near glacier
That would be to easy to just kill
What makes Cave Leeches so good at what they do is that they are at the ceiling of the cave where the normal flares cant reach

Maybe some other Enemy Type would be good tho? Like maybe a Tentacle Hole ala Star Wars?

Would it be possible to allow us to switch characters for the duration of the loading screen? Few things get to me as much as joining a game, seeing like Gunner and Engi being played, picking Scout because I like having all classes present and then having a 4th guy join 2 seconds after and also jumping to scout
safe berry
Definitely some way to show what materials we have without depositing to Molly.
And something like Overwatch's "voice messages" like: "Need some light here", "Thank you", "I need help" "Need a platform over here" and so on...
frank crest
A random idea tossed my way was the idea of purchasable consumables to prep for certain missions to use up piling credits for late-game players. Such as single-use medkits for self or ally application, small ammo kits, etc.

@near glacier Game based on Unreal Engine 4, so it allows you to do liquid and stuff. But I'll be glad to see water as part of environment

@safe berry there already is.
safe berry
@brazen parrot And how do you do it?
brazen parrot
@safe berry hold your lazer pointer out and it says on the top right your material totals.
near glacier
I think all the sentry guns and secondary-target items should have physics
when the stone beneath is mined, apocabloom flower should detach (losing stem) and fall down
stationary guns and supply drops should probably reserve some space and "protect" piece of surface below them - until they get used out ofc
after that they can self-destruct, become smashable and/or kickable like barrels

Load outs with different guns instead of the default ones, more ways to heal, maybe a flag post to mark were you have been before so you don't go into circles, also make the resupply pod destroyable after all the supplies are gone

Major issue @idle blade
We spawned in with the drop pod right on top of a dreadnaught and in a hotzone with tonnes of bugs.. with a 2nd dreadnaught egg nearby enough to get shot... we had 0 ammo within 2 mins of starting for everyone and no supplies at all able. That's a little extreme for a haz 3 mission, is something like that a bug or just random?
near glacier
no, that's exteme on hard... basically dropping into an instant death scenario
idle quartz
random, the drop pod can land on a dreadnought egg and pop it open
at that point, fight and run.
near glacier
but 2 in the same drop pod room?
idle quartz
have the scout grab nitra, gunner and engineer can burn dreadnought, driller can burn adds
did it hit both eggs?

i hope we dont get too many timed missions down the line. Because exploration without time limit (aside swarms) is really a major upside for me in the game

Molly shouldn't stop when you call her (or it? idk), unless she/it is like 2 meters away from you (so when multiple people request her, she would be moving and not staying on one place).
last wasp
That's a bug currently, not intended IIRC
quartz edge
What if we could use the supply pods as fence post for putting energy fences. Takes a pod to make a 10 meter fence which can be activate from the four sides of the pod or connect multiple post for a longer fences which requires a new ore or nitra however the energy fences will deactivate after certain amount of hits from swarms or hp of some kind. Cool down cycle to Regen or put in nitra for instant Regen.

<@&257786783666929665>
Being on the stationeers discord as well and a suggestion from someone to fill in holes, i kinda thought.... What if guns had a 2nd mode?
Flamer being a freezer (can freeze bugs in place like the stun grenades but causes damage as well)
foam gun being a foam sprayer to make paths (which has been suggested)
people can figure the rest out i guess
scout from grapple to zipline
Gunner would need a replacement weapon but always thought mines would be amazing
radiant girder
^good idea
I was thinking class specific weapons, a shop tab that allows you to purchase new equipment that can also be upgraded like the default load outs each class gets. New perks, climbing claws, could even create a class that can rock climb with the claws and mine easily, but he's restricted to melee weapons.
The game is brilliant, It has a fun dungeon crawling aspect with random gen that really makes you wonder what you're going to be getting yourself into.
Oh.. another thing, hidden costumes/weapon skins/ weapons or gadgets in the world, a little RNG in this game could really motivate us to explore every nook and cranny :)
Oh and ship customization with lil trophies/ color pallets/ furnature
Also, the platform gun, instead of perm platforms and limited shots, why not timed platforms that degrade after a minute but can be recharged by mining dirt? These are just quick ideas, really loving the feel and look of this game and how different it feels, would love to leave my mark and invest loads of time digging and blowing things up.
near glacier
would be nice if ziplines / platforms and some items like that were rechargable
tropic hawk
I feel like the limitation promotes strategic use of them
radiant girder
Yeah, I found myself running out of ammo for equipment like the lanternshot caused me to have to buy supply drops too much
near glacier
not really, most games i've been in, people use them a lot, use them stupidly or don't use them... since most times you can get on top of nitra / morkite
radiant girder
Though being able to pick up ammo would be nice
idle quartz
thats fixed by learning how to play
near glacier
50% ammo resupply sucks... it really does, would love it to be 50% or X amount to everything else, my minigun usually needs 3 resupplies because 50% doesn't really cover it which i find to be a bug, it's like it's supplying the base amount, not the upgraded amount
radiant girder
I play engineer, really love my platform gun, it comes in handy when you have a gunner with you
near glacier
like i use ziplines more than anything yet 50% = 2 instead of the 4 if i have full minigun / pistol ammo still
radiant girder
Yeah same with my equipment, using up 2 of the 4 resupply chambers, I didn't get much ammo back which left me exposed a time or two
And that's using strategy and teamwork
near glacier
but yah, would you rather 50% or to refill ammo by weighted limits?

Maybe weapon type refiils could be a thing - like one for weapons and one for utilities and the one we have being a generic one?

Worms: Big fucken worms that tear through the caves almost, destroying everything in their path. They'll essentially be a boss, but one that you can enter. If you're daring enough and skilled enough, you can manage to navigate in between the teeth and get the chance to attack the worm from the inside, dealing crit damage.
brazen parrot
It’d be nice if the resupply scaled with the amount of players, so solo play would require all the slots for full ammo. But a 4 player gives more ammo per slot. A lot of unfair players shall I say call a supply pod down when people can’t get to it. And use up 3 slots leaving everyone else with no ammo
wide wing
I've not come across too many people who steal ammo but too many people call the ammo pod into the dumbest places.

main olive
@near glacier yeah some weapons having alt-modes would be cool. Flamer however I think the alt mode would just be spraying out unlit fuel, to lay traps which can be lit later or shot at by a teammate to ignite. Or the Flammer as some has suggested ejects the current amout of ammo to make a dynamic napalm explosion (duration and size dependent on current ammo loaded at time)
Platform gun doubling as a foam sprayer (as you and other suggested)
Not sure if Scout's Grapple should double as a zipline gun, but that sounds very plasible. If the gunner had to lose the zipline gun he should get either the gernade launcher, or a rocket luncher (mingun, magnum, luncher, c4)
Engineer would be the best for say having proxy mines, but that seems like a very dangerous hazard to have, but also useful (running away, place some mines as you run to take out the following hoard)

Was thinking of a couple of prestige type upgrades: Once you've fully upgraded all dwarves you can reset them all and select one to receive a permanent upgrade, like a golden pick axe that does double damage and digs a little faster or a second, brighter shoulder-mounted light.
mystic locust
I think the lights should be brighter by default in my opinion, I understand that you’re in a cave and caves tend to be really dark but the flashlights I feel should be just a bit more brighter, often times i run out of flares and have to rely on the flashlight, which doesn’t help much, so I have to wait for my flares to come back from cooldown.
flat kelp
Can we get emotes and voice lines like in overwatch?
Maybe a "Hello" and "Group up" voice line?
mystic locust
That would be neat actually, to have different voice lines for specific things like that.
For example, one where the scout could ask for a platform from the engineer.
tired hatch
that would be useful
mystic locust
Or one where you can ask the gunner for a zipline, stuff like that
weak berry
Going off of what @main olive said about alt-fires, one form of progression and customization could be a sort of market-place for weapons. You can buy different versions of a class's weapons in which the looks would be different and each one has a different property/alt-fire, allowing for more customization on how players want to use each class
ancient garden
My suggestions are for the minigun
One or 2 more upgrades to reduce faster the heating OR slowing it because when you're shooting and the reticle gets smaller and smaller that's where your heat reach 100%
As mentionned in the chat, a Vanity section for skins for weapons and allowing other players to see your skins if this is not the case already
An upgrade that when you're shooting your reticle gets smaller way faster ! Like one or 2 upgrades 25%-50%
(This one, allowing us to choose between the upgrades like making them separated)
More damage upgrades, the base damage is 8 +2 with the last upgrade, that would be nice by either adding more damage upgrades OR else more miniguns
And this one is OP because i'm too fan of the minigun, 2400 ammuntition isn't enough for me 😂 more upgrades for ammo hahaha (jokes)
Vanity shop, In my opinion i think adding stats to the items, for exemple armors more carryweight, slightly less fall damage
So far that's my ideas
kindred mango
swap the drillers satchel charge out for some kind of movement like a jump pack that runs on fuel or jump pads he can put down and so the gunner keeps the charge as a unique item

Pickaxes upgrades to make us capable to dig through blocks slightly faster, like there are some that require 3 hits, reducing it to 2 hits
I wouldn't say one because that'd way too OP
Too easy
vagrant violet
I don't think the flashlights should be farther, but brighter and wider up close
ancient garden
Could be that too as well, since we can throw flashlights
eager vale
flashlights are fine
mystic locust
https://franklinequipment.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/6042.jpg add one of these that you can carry with you at all times.
near glacier
@mystic locust it'd stand to reason that we should gain upgrades over time, including something like a better helmet light / better items
<@&257786783666929665>
I'd also recommend having a system where lower level players / games have a limit to upgrades like i've seen done in FF14 mmo which drops the maximum upgrades to the level of the player hosting so it doesn't clash with their experience in the game having someone too overpowered carrying them without skill involved.
idle quartz
lol upgrades dont make you too overpowered, this isnt a mmorpg
mystic locust
Upgrade on the flashlights would be fine.
Any way to make the flashlight better is good enough for me.
and if it doesnt change then that's fine, it doesnt ruin the whole game for me
last wasp
I want a better flashlight upgrade, that'd be quite nice
near glacier
haha, could be awesome having the mule put up a little light balloon as well if that upgrade was selected for the use of the mission, could have mule have specific upgrades on a per mission basis
primal egret
can I have medic man
foggy apex
hopefully there will be mod capability in the future
snow slate
@near glacier that’s a dope idea. More varied mission types would be cool, especially if they weren’t another Easter-Egg-Hunt iteration
find and repair an old mule
I guess that would be a standard “reach obj then interact with for awhile as you fend of hordes”
maybe another boss type mission. Instead of big baddies, there was one MASSIVE baddie you had to find and take out
one that didn’t have a waypoint marker to it
Forcing you to explore the caves and look for clues
Or maybe it periodically attacked you like it was the hunter and you were the prey
There could be a mission where it was literally just the race to the escape pod
just extended and more fleshed out
vagrant violet
More mission types is always good
The current missions are alright but tbh the only ones that are really different are the eliminations, the standard, and the point one
The collect and other one just feel like the normal mining mission
near glacier
Suggestion:
C4 can cause smaller bugs to run away, larger bugs to come towards thus despawning or removing the smaller bugs from map or current area.
Allow ability to lose / run away from bugs enough to get away
C4 / large amounts of noise in certain spots could trigger larger mini bosses / bosses
Gas clouds are flammable
@snow slate
Imagine this:
"I have no Idea what exactly just happened Boys... but you are not where you are supposed to be. Something changed the Coordinates of your Drop Pod to where you are now. Be very Careful Guys, the Droppod cant take you back either since the Self Destruction was triggered... whatever the Case... Best of Luck to you Guys."
You still get the Mule but it Malfunctions a lot and actually leads you into Traps by running there on its own. It repair it, you could interact or Hit it with the Pick? Some kind of 1 in 1000 random Mission where a Psychic Monster makes the Droppod put you somewhere else and in general tries to trap you down there forever.
Terrain Scanner also doesn't work until whatever it is that tempers with your equipment
The Idea behind all of this is that perhaps there is a Mission in the Terminal thats not really what it looks like. Maybe some sort of hivemind infesting the Terminal to get you there. Then People might think its a Bug as there is no real objective besides finding the reason for all this.
A new Droppod cant be send either as the Enemy would just reroute it. I dont know how supply pods would work but maybe they dont land where you are but instead on a random flat surface nearby
Maybe they Dumbfire the Supply Pods using Ballistic?
They are single use anyways and that doesn't go for the DropPods as they are being controlled by the Boss/Base
The Boss = CEO
Now.. <@&257786783666929665> If you like the Idea you are free to use it as you please. Just tell me if you did ^^
steady bison
deep rock galactic but with warframe's modding system
vagrant violet
Maybe changing the elimination missions so they're monster hunteresk with there being different kinds of boss monsters you can fight each with their own unique style
steady bison
or make elimination into a timed mission where you have to kill all enemies as fast as possible
vagrant violet
Give them a bit of variety so it's not you just hunting down the dreadnaught over and over again
Maybe make the dreadnaught a miniboss for the other game modes
Like how the tank was in left for dead
steady bison
the naught is already a miniboss for other game modes
he pops in outta nowhere sometimes
vagrant violet
Should be increased in frequency then cause I never see one outside of elimination missions
We need a hive location for eliminations
So you drop into say the fungus bogs and it's just swarming with glyphid activity and hive structures
steady bison
yea
like the secret tunnels idea
tho dense biozone has swarmer eggs that spawn
and you can get an entire chamber with just eggs
its basically a hive there
vagrant violet
I'm thinking more along the lines of the hives from say alien or something
steady bison
yea i get what you mean
if only enemies droped loot
then we could have enemy farming strats
because think about it, why cant we harness the praetorian poison gas and make a gas grenade launcher with it or something
the glyphids gotta have something that the company can harvest
lean haven
dreadnaughts are more likely to appear in higher difficulty games
near glacier
Yep
Well lets wait and see what the devs bring us in terms of new bosses
Im expecting Big things -
steady bison
worm thing
lean haven
dreadnaught riding a cave jelly with a cave leech attached to its back and an electro crystal shell
steady bison
that drills the map
vagrant violet
I like the idea of biome themed bosses and random variety of them
So like the magma one has a giant guy who spits lava from him or a bug that's on fire or something
Not really thinking very hard about those but they're ideas
lean haven
we need reasons for driller to have fire immunity
steady bison
yeah, engi poison imunity is good for fungus bogs but also good for praetorians
make it so exploders leave a fire trail behind or an upgraded exploder that leaves fire aroun as it explodes
lean haven
high speed fire snail leaving fiery snail trails
vagrant violet
Maybe a bug like the one from starship troopers that spits fire
Honestly not a bad idea to look to that movie for ideas
near glacier
Dreadnought does that
It can Spit Fireballs that explode on impact
Instead of Infectors in Lava Biome we could have the same but with Fireballs?
@vagrant violet Something like that?
vagrant violet
mmmm, maybe
What about a tank variant, sense the pretrorian is technically the tank of the enemy mobs, have a variation that spits fire and it more beetle like
I haven't drawn in a while and I'm rusty at it but I kinda wanna draw some mock ups for them
near glacier
Dude you just described a Dreadnought
vagrant violet
It's not supposed to be a mini boss thou, it's supposed to be about as strong as the pretrorian
Except it's ranged with it's fire attacks
steady bison
just make a fire variant of the acid sppiter
vagrant violet
That's lazy thou
steady bison
=w=
vagrant violet
Reskinning and then making it spit fire
steady bison
the acid spitter is just a reskin of the webspitter
i understand you want new enemies but sometimes its better to just recycle stuff to not bogle up development
and down the line give them a new look
vagrant violet
I mean I don't mind waiting for new stuff if it means I'm not getting a rehash of the same things we already have
Plus if it's gonna happen anyways might as well do it instead of releasing a reskin
And tbh they should remodel the acid spitter or web spitter so they're different from each other, not a huge remodel, just add something to their current ones so they're different
steady bison
they already are diferent
webspitter is purple and small like warriors, acidspitters are a little bit bigger and red
with diferent paint job
vagrant violet
So a reskin and a slightly larger model
steady bison
yeah
just like the swarmer is a small warror with pale colors
you want unique models for everything?
vagrant violet
For the more specialized ones yeah
steady bison
=w=
vagrant violet
I mean think about it like left for dead, would you want the boomer and the spitter to look the same but one has different colors?
Not a perfect example but you get what I mean
Plus it's not hard to quickly add something to the model, and it doesn't require anything special like an animation rework unless there is clipping or something
steady bison
boomer and spitter serve diferent functions, while both spitters in DRG make sense being so similar as they do the same thing but one is acid the other web, makes sense that they are the same kind and look a like but still look diferent due to what they do
vagrant violet
It doesn't have to be a super different model, just something to make it different a bit
Maybe like the acid spitter gets some acid sacs on it or something
steady bison
imagine in a military, you got a unit that has an acid thrower and another with a flame thrower, they will look kinda the same, serve the same function but still be diferent as one will have fire resistant armor and another acid resistant armor thats whats happening with the spitter
vagrant violet
It wouldn't be hard to add acid sacs around the spitters neck or something
Just something to make it a little more unique
steady bison
i find the red color and bigger size to be unique enough
when a swarm comes i can quickly identify the spitter
vagrant violet
If they still have the model for this they could use this with a bit of change to it for the spitter http://s01.riotpixels.net/data/93/06/9306303f-e56b-44db-ae61-2293406a080f.gif/meme.deep-rock-galactic.480x270.2017-06-12.8.gif
steady bison
tbh that feels more like a mimic type enemy more than anything
like your walking around and sudenly this thing wakes up
vagrant violet
It might be scrapped early glyphid models and animations, but that doesn't mean you can't rework them a bit for a new purpose
vagrant violet
I feel like it would be easy to pick him out in the terrain unless he was slightly burrowed
steady bison
not really
judging by the crystals on his back put him in cristaline caverns or salt pits with a color change and he fits in very well
speaking of that
vagrant violet
Could work in the magma zone
steady bison
will there be region specific enemies? like a creature that only shows up in fungus bogs?
vagrant violet
That's what I've been asking for too, and bosses/mini bosses that are region specific
I like the idea of some kind of slug for the fungus bogs
Maybe a snail thingy
vagrant violet
A queen bee for the sand caverns would be neat for a mini boss
steady bison
eh
the bee size doesnt say giant bee queen
more like you just find a giant colony
and the lil bees are constantly attacking
like a cloud
vagrant violet
She could be a spawner type of mini boss
steady bison
true
vagrant violet
So she tries to run away from you and spawns bees to attack you
steady bison
make a glyphid enemy that is a moving nexus and is constantly spawning swarmers until it dies
vagrant violet
That one could be a remodel of the petrorian maybe
vagrant violet
I said I don't like reskins
Remodels are fine cause you're changing the appearance past it's coloration
If they when making the web spitter decided to just reskin the basic glyphid then we'd have problems, but they made a different model for it
/changed a current model
vagrant violet
This isn't something I've got my heart set on or anything but I wanna see what people think of it
A mission that starts off with you on the surface and you have to descend below to a point while escorting something
Ends by you reaching what you were going down for, maybe a broken drop pod that needed recovery
weak berry
Dwarf Rescue Mission (Yes I know this has probably already been suggested but it's still worth suggestion): You have to navigate into the deepest darkest parts of a cave and directly into a hive in order to save a dwarf. Once you enter the hive, a constant swarm is present, no waves.
However, there is a chance for a boss to spawn (maybe just a queen?) which makes the enemies wave based as you defeat the boss. Once the boss is defeated, the aliens slowly dissipate as you escape with the dwarf.
The dwarf becomes an extra NPC scout that can shoot and grapple, and has infinite ammo, but is an NPC so probs kinda dumb
Treasure Maps: If the new progression system adds new, rarer items, have treasure maps that can be randomly discovered in certain parts of caves or for doing lvl 3/4 hazard missions in decent time.
The treasure maps correspond to a specific mission type in a specific area (IE point extract in Magma) and will generate the cave according to the map.
If the players find their way to the X and uncover the treasure the map is consumed and the rare item/piece of equipment is rewarded. If players don't find their way to the X, the map is not consumed and can still be used in the future
primal tendon
Yo, I have two suggestions:If you create one more reason to we catch the ores, as a goal, or a clan rank, i don't know...
And a base inside the planet, to we protect from the aliens, with defenses and traps...
I'm sorry if my English is bad...
I am a brazilian player haha
vagrant violet
The second one sounds like the 5th game mode you unlock
Except it doesn't really need defending, it's just got guns to protect you while dumping your minerals/when a swarm comes
eager vale
just do it vermintide style AE say haz 2 u get 1 random boss halfway to your obj and haz 4 you would get 3-4 bosses
eager vale
just throw it on the ground
near glacier
it can bounce unpredictably
eager vale
you just gotta learn how to do it
vagrant violet
I find the grenades to be someone useless tbh
Might be because I play mainly scout thou
And his grenades are just stun grenades instead of doing actual damage
red willow
Well, the slow is pretty strong
idle quartz
damage amp yo
robust sapphire
Scouts nades are great. You can slow the entire swarm if you are in a good position and let you teammates dps them down.
vagrant violet
I tend to just grapple hook away and let bosco deal with them
Or use the shotgun to mow them down
snow slate
lol scout has the most useful nades in the game
stop a horde and pick up the entire team
Throw em at a cocoon and melt the mini boss
throw em behind your team as you tunnel to the drop pod
lean haven
Ehhhhhh melt the miniboss... It only effects the armored dreadnaught
snow slate
Scout nade + gunner and driller c4 = dead dreadnaught
call in resupply
rinde and repeat two more times

this chat section is for the game not for memes

@tight mist liquids have been ruled out

I think they said liquids won't work on the engine
icy laurel
a ok
tight mist
Damn that is a shame, that was a ton of gameplay potential right there.
lean haven
Programming them in requires a great deal of work, they'd be somewhat difficult to implement to any satisfactory level, and also engine
icy laurel
ok ok tater how about adding some old dwarwen ruins map ? you have to defend it against hords of bugs
static plinth
Like extracting some sort of artifact?
icy laurel
eap and that artefact could give some random rare resources
something similar to what we got with the mining patform but bigger and more complex
for the blue gems
vagrant violet
Pvp in this game wouldn't really work tbh @icy laurel
snow slate
there could be a PvP mode without direct combat
Maybe something like 2 that and who have to mine or collect a certain amount of mineral
And they have 2 different base/MULE locations
tough wadi
Maybe something like tetris where the better you do, the more bugs infest the other player
snow slate
and instead of fighting each other, they can bait a horde to fuck with the other team to slow em down
last wasp
I could see if like, it was a competition for points
On a time limit
"Mine the most___"
snow slate
^yup, just need some way to affect the other team
last wasp
But that's sorta the only reasonable PvP
And even then that's not that...fitting I guess?
The only thing I can think of is how NAtural Selection 2's aliens worked
With the commander being able to spread stuff and guide allied players
snow slate
It could work with the “lore”, too. Like there’s a rival mining company. You’re not legally allowed to shoot em, but you can not help them fend off enemies
tough wadi
Like i said, why not have 1v1 or 2v2 where an opposing company is on your mining turf, so command sends a pheromone machine that reacts to gems. Each team explores the cave as increasingly difficult waves of bugs aproach. The more gems added to the machine, the more bugs the enemy team gets attacked by. Last team standing wins
snow slate
^id play the shit out of that
tough wadi
Me to so id say, thumb my idea up and maybe the devs will take notice
There would have to be some sort of repair mechanic tho, on higher difficulties it might be a nightmare in pubs
Perhaps mule stops to mine a tough miniral, and thats when you can repair it. It would also give a chance for players to catch up to it, if it climbs a steep cliff. While also giving a few opportunities to repair.
vagrant violet
I still can't see pvp being a viable thing in this game tbh
Still would be clunky
So basically it's like leaving your team members to die in a swarm while you go get all the minerals
tough wadi
oshit thats a good idea. Bucket class that can carry more stuff and catch small bugs under bucket 👌
vagrant violet
That honestly doesn't sound all to interesting and less of PvP and more of PvE
I don't really see the point of having a competitive aspect in a team game but whatever
limber stream
I noticed that you can't lob flares up and over ledges (e.g., look upwards and throw). I think that it'd be a nice change, but it's flavor prolly.
limber stream
@snow slate , I'll be sure to give it another shot then. Was playing with it a little bit last night and wasn't having much luck with it.
lean haven
basically just let us play as
brisk olive
could we get a hub to be able to find other dwarves, some kind of tavern for example, where we can find people to play with. The current base could serve as what it is already, but there could be a bigger Main lobby area, with your own personal area to customize (easy to add some microtransaction there), a Job board for "special missions", maybe a player based trade hub, mini games, a place to rock, etc...
Also not joining a server on the first click would be nice.
lean haven
@brisk olive that'd require dedicated servers
limber stream
@brisk olive So like the mess hall or the bar that they have flavor text for.
idle quartz
I mean i clicked the link and read the description; its not "pong", its described as LIKE pong because its table tennis but was mechanically different so w/e.
vagrant violet
I like the idea of an escort mission where you have to escort a mule modified for repairs to a downed drop pod, then defend the drop pod and mule, then you leave on the pod
jaunty osprey
It feels like the random swarms arent strong enough
vagrant violet
Need more mobs per swarm
jaunty osprey
Yeah thats what i was thinkin
brisk olive
Feels like not enough digging and not enough resource digging (feels like walking and fighting most of the time)
vagrant violet
I feel like swarms will get real intense with more mobs and enemy types
jaunty osprey
For me it has been opposite; im getting enough digging but its relatively quiet usually and the swarms come and die too fast. I only die from fall damage and not the aliens xD
vagrant violet
I tend to find I'm walking around a bunch and only ever really having trouble from the cave leaches
Never really much action in terms of fighting
The occasional swarm that lasts a bit, has a bunch of normal enemies and small shrimpies and that's it
oblique nacelle
pet baby glyphid on the home base

That would be a nice thing for people who bought the supporter dlc

flat kelp
How about hidden rooms that have extra loot but can only be gotten to by digging/drilling
you can only detect them via the map?
lament dagger
Would be nice to eventually have skin we can craft up for our weapons and pickaxe and suck, instead of just our Dwarves directly.
flat kelp
Will we ever find out who Carl is?
viscid bloom
Some type of gadget or grenade that would keep the swarm off a small area for a short time. Like some type of small forcefield or anti-glyphid gas grenade. It would allow you to revive a teammate, mine something, or even just provide enough time to regain shield.
molten fossil
@lament dagger it will have to be a very short list, and not let people import images to do so. Lest some wise guy skins his pickaxe in game with a pic of his wang or something
lament dagger
I don't mean in the sense of us importing images to it, just some ones the devs design so everything we hold isn't so plain as well, like Black Crag weapons and pickaxe would be sweet.
fierce sinew
please please please make it so I can pick my remote explosive up if i place it wrong.
lethal wharf
Is there anything about ever adding pvp to the game? You could have 2 teams spawn at opposite sides of the map and you fight to gain the resources. If you wipe the enemy team, you could go up and steal some (or all) of their loot from their mule. Maybe you would have a certain amount of time to extract and whoever has the most resources wins. You could even still have some mobs running around the caves for added danger.
fierce sinew
maybe add some skins for Molly?
vagrant violet
Already had this talk about pvp
ancient garden
A notification in chat when a teammate is calling Molly because there's always someone calling Molly so we cannot deposit our stuff
quartz edge
I would have somesort raid/boss competition than pvp.
snow slate
More and varied bosses would be dope
Even if just a themed/timed event
Would be dope if there was a risk/reward endless mode. You could go deeper and deeper into more complex and dangerous caves, and the further you go the more minerals (currency and xp) you get, but you only have a limited window of opportunity for extraction. It could be something like a high nitra cost (maybe like 300 or higher) or you could only call it at checkpoints (every -100ft change in elevation or maybe the game just plops them down at random spots). If your team wipes without extraction you get nothing of what you found.
quartz edge
That could work beautifully, do I go deeper, more ores more rare ores with even more glyphid in bigger swarms, or do I call it a day and leave.
glad flame
Is there a possibility of having the indicators for eggs/jadiz/pearls disappear when the item is mined out? So you don't go digging for something you've already found from the other side of a wall?
left mountain
that would be awesome especially if you get to an opining that you almost fell though and then see the markings up above you and think did i mine that to discover you did
near glacier
how about giving one of the dwarves a way to create cover for him and the team? maybe this would be well suited for a new 'support' dwarf or something as well :)
fallow river
It would help with macs and spitters
azure sigil
I thought something similar. Something more obvious like a healer. But a healer kidna sounds a little boring.
hard robin
that sounds more like a fantasy game
fallow river
So, space dwarves ins't fantasy?
hard robin
I meant about the healer, but if you introduce a healer, then it'll make the game very easy
you won't need red sugar
terse tangle
Healers? Fok yea
hazy cobalt
I think the game need more guns
near glacier
maybe the 'healer' would be able to take extra red sugar and put it in a healing dart gun or syringe or something, to use on his team mates in a tight spot
merry iron
I know this has already been mentioned, but I think the Gunner ziplines should be more than they are - specifically I think they should have around one or two more shots.
I also think the Engineer platform gun should be one of two things:
either less ammo with bigger platforms, or more ammo but it's a paint/spray style gun that works kinda the same as it does now, only, providing very very very tiny platforms, and allowing you to paint by giving it full automatic and, either a huge clip or no clip at all
but then I also think that Scout's zipline should be something that he can put down for the entire team, but has to take back to use again
(but that wouldn't be as fun as falling and saving yourself using the grappling hook so what do I know)
tawdry tangle
its pretty annoying when the mule starts walking to the drop pot enters a big drop-down and starts climbing up - scouts are like "ye boi lets play spider man" and engineers are like "yes imma platform up ... wait no im out of ammo after half of the cage.." kind of annoying
near glacier
eh, thats when the digger comes in handy, no? dig a staircase?
Please add more upgrades option for weapons and armors, so players will keep playing and looking forward to upgrade them, and also a different terrain where you mine longer based on the material of the rock, maybe have a crafting system as well like blueprints to make new weapons and armors gather required ingredients to craft it? i feel like this would make the game feel more less repetitive.
spare kestrel
@near glacier We are working on ways to improve the upgrade system but it's not a small task and we want to do it right... so it's gonna take some time, but it will come.
near glacier
Any plans to implement an option - "Player outlines always on"? Save me hitting ctrl so often : )
tawdry tangle
yeah sure a digger is handy there but when playin with randoms you dont always have one how about they just make it use normal ways if its possible
molten fossil
@spare kestrel maybe just raise the class level requirement for each upgrade. Want that damage upgrade for your revolver as gunner? You now have to be lv16 to get it
red willow
What about different upgrades, and you have to choose between them?
For example, you can get more dmg on your weapons for lower ammo, and vice versa, this kind of thing.
And I do love the idea about choosing between different weapons, it makes it more player-personalized.
tawdry tangle
maybe something like a level-based skilltree could do something cool too
prisma terrace
Being able to craft weapons, also being able to track through mines easier
idle quartz
how would you propose you "craft" weapons?
essentially its basically the same as spending materials to "buy" a weapon anyways.
molten fossil
Yeah, as far as weapon customization goes i would say a bit more would be nice but we dont need what dead space 3 had
near glacier
hmm
molten fossil
Lest we have the stasis flamethrower
humble sage
I would like to see the driller have a secondary weapon that is worth a damn. A whole clip to kill a loot bug is not good for me.
left mountain
Agreed but the drilling arms work wonders in a pinch
idle quartz
why not? you get like 15 clips, and one loot bug can have 10-20 nitra, at that exchange rate you could get a supply drop ez
lean haven
Pickaxe
near glacier
Driller definitely either needs a better secondary wep or atleast more upgrades for the current pistol
(Such as a full auto mod or a revolver that does a lot more damage but obviously has less shots, maybe the option for one single shot rifle like an elephant gun, guaranteed one hit kill but takes like 5 seconds to reload)
idle quartz
more upgrades are on the way
near glacier
That would help a lot
tired hatch
I think he needs something to replace the satchel charge
the gunner already has it, it's the only repeating weapon in the game from what I've seen(not counting pickaxes) and it doesn't really make sense for the driller anyways
oblique nacelle
Suggestion based off one I remember reading:
The longer a dwarf is downed, the longer it takes to revive, ex. down for 15 seconds, revive takes 2s, down for 5m, revive takes 12s, and so on(no these times are not well thought out, it's just an example)
lean haven

Had an idea for a biome specific boss for the magma zone
I'll probably sketch it when I'm on break at work :/

Everybody loves upgrades! How about more upgrades? Upgrades such as..... Greater carrying capacity for resorces, Brighter suit lights, Enhanced terrain scanner, Larger revive bottle (for faster revives or more health givin to the 'revivie' upon completion).
Finally, Im not talking about thermal vision but more like alien vison. If anyones has ever seen the Alien vs Preditor movies or played the (terrible) game you'll know what this looks like. Sorta like thermal vision except everything gets grayscaled except the aliens(they show a neon green).
Found it! So like an upgrade were we can toggle this alien vision on/off
Or something similar

i want that for gunner

Then add a smile my friend and pray to the devs

@mortal panther preaching the God's word friend
golden pagoda
The ability to take down grapping lines and re-use the ammo would be nice
idle quartz
so that you could mine almost any vein for free by yourself? yeah i bet a lot of people would like that, up there with "let us mine while using the grappling hook" >>
golden pagoda
The point is more for taking down those useless grapple lines that lead nowhere and get people killed when they try to jump off to somewhere lol
idle quartz
sounds like that could be avoided by not shooting grapple lines to terrible places in the first place; PSA for gunners, stop doing that >:|
unless its a grappling line that leads straight to a cave leech; thats hilarious and allowed.
golden pagoda
Perspective can be hard to judge in dim lighting. Like I shot one the other night that looked like it led perfectly to a ledge, but the thing that I shot was actually further out than in and the ledge was out of reach. Someone took it up, jumped and died.
The ability to take them down and even not getting the ammo back would be appreciated.
idle quartz
Well they can press E to turn around, as opposed to falling to their deaths. Also; the zipline tells you the distance so try to find the longest distance, in case something is in the way that you cant see
lean haven
Cable cutters, while interesting would be pretty easy to troll with
golden pagoda
Would there be no way to implement it in a way that if there's someone currently using it you can't cut it?
lean haven
They could do that, but that's pretty unrealistic for a couple reasons
vagrant violet
I mean I don't see the point of cutting those lines
I find it rather useful as the scout in case I drop to grab onto them last minute so I don't fall to my death
lean haven
That's if they're in the area you need to land in, vex is more going for the ones that are completely useless to be able to be cut down
Although honestly they could always just start digging from where the end of the zipline lands, so it's pretty hard to get a completely useless zipline unless you're shooting it straight across flat ground to nowhere
vagrant violet
Honestly if your gunner is shooting the zipline to no where useful then maybe you should get somebody else to be your gunner
idle quartz
scout can help him find the right place to shoot too =p

I don't play with anyone really tbh, not while grinding stuff for upgrades
cyan tundra
So here's my idea for a sick new game mode
-The map is long railway track, and you start on a train moving along it. The train starts by travelling through a narrow tunnel, and then moves into a large-ish cavern full of minerals and what not. lets call this cavern stage 1.
-In each stage the goal is to get as much of the target mineral as possible in the cavern onto the train either before it leaves, or if everybody decides to leave due to being overwhelmed by increasingly bigger enemy waves.
-After leaving a stage, the train will travel for a moment through another narrow tunnel before entering the next cavern stage. I think it would be cool if while the train was in this interval period, sometimes a wave of enemies might climb onto the train as it moves, so you and your party need to defend yourselves on a moving train speeding through a tunnel as bugs climb on board.
-Each stage would get more and more complex and difficult obviously.
-To keep the gaming moving, the caverns would be large rooms so to speak, as a large sprawling cave might cut the flow a bit, especially as the goal is to go through as many stages as possible.
This idea was just a basic one I formulated on the spot, comment your opinions and stuff so we can really shape this, because I really like the general idea of it
vagrant violet
I don't know if it'll fly with he devs since they said no vehicles
But it seems interesting
I had an idea for one of the bosses
For the magma inclusive zone it's a stone isopod
So it's a rock covered isopod that can roll up into a ball and charge at you
It can stomp around and cause stalagtites too fall
vagrant violet
And shoot a consistent spray of fire like a flame thrower
And if it rears back to stomp you could hit it with a grenade or an explosive to knock it down and then take your pick to it and break away at the shell rock to expose weakspots that you could do damage to
Explosives would be able to break away at the rock slowly so you could damage it
And when you drop into the mission you start far away from it and have to make your way to it, collecting nitra and gold along the way
And there would be tremers that cause a sort of cave in blocking off parts of the cave and causing more stalagtites to fall and a swarm to spawn
copper shuttle
Bring in subclasses!!!!
calm hound
this is so subtle but could there be better names for the player levels haha

suggestion,

Would it at the very least be possible to give server hosts the option to force 1 of each class?
I know there's something to be said about preference and all but these ppl with 0 regard for any kind of balance ruin my games a little too often
lean haven
It would have to be something that people could filter out of their searches for a game, because forcing someone to play a class they don't want to isn't cool by any means.
It's part of why I'm glad the devs have done a pretty good job about balancing out class strengths so really any class or team composition is viable

You will always have the ability to kick party members as host, Fourze.

I think the supply drop needs to be changed. Instead of just consuming a whole charge, you can refill your ammo but leaving some there for others or if you need it later, like, there would be times when i'm playing with Gunner and I have full ammo on my main weapon and pistol and just need 2 explosives.. wasting all the ammo that could be used for later for my main weapon
gaunt mountain
ya that can be a prob for the engineer too with turret ammo
near glacier
there should be a ammo part and a gadgets part for refills
the easiest way for them to do something like that is split the resupply in half so the top half is ammo and the bottom half is gadget ammo
gaunt mountain
doable 😃

Why doesn't drillers drills not mine materials?
gaunt mountain
ya if the drill runs on fuel there should be rare chances you find it on missions
near glacier
what i meant is like you cant mine gold with it and stuff
gaunt mountain
i did not know that 😛 ive not played as a driller yet
so can they only drill the main terrain?
idle quartz
I think because they want mining resources to be everyones job. As a driller main i would be slightly annoyed if everyone SKIPPED the resources expecting the DRILLER to get it all, since suddenly its HIS JOB.
at the same time it would be convenient for the solo driller.
gaunt mountain
lol if ya put it like that ya it makes sense lol

i would like to drill the materials with him, he is also the driller. its his job to drill

Weapon ideas
Gunner Primary: LMG
✅ No heat, higher damage per round, starts accurate
❎ 75 round magazine, lower rate of fire, suffers from recoil
Scout Primary: Machine Pistol
✅ 50 round magazine, high rate of fire, you hold it sideways when you shoot it
❎ Innacurate, lower damage per round
❔ Can be dual wielded with grappling hook?
red willow
I think the idea of having a minigun becoming more accurate, and another weapon doing the reverse on the gunner (you choose) could be interesting
last wasp
Yes pleaaaase
idle quartz
I just want a minigun thats accurate all the time and a beastly killer, but has other side effects, like deafness and the inability to move while firing. I'd prefer the CHARACTER be inaccurate, not the gun. Fight the crosshair!

An upgrade for that just being earmuffs to prevent deafness...and a cupholder

Has anyone suggested flags? Like I could place a flag in a spot I want to come back to or use it to mark other things
static plinth
Not sure if it was flags specifically but I think I recall seeing other suggestions for having some sort of markers to mark things for teammates
inner brook
I know theres the thing to mark resources and whatever using x or ctrl but that kinda goes away quickly
static plinth
Yeah the scanner
I meant something else
Anyways, it would definitely be nice to have something like that
If they were to implement it though they'd probably have to make it a limited amount for each player to prevent it from just being spammed everywhere
inner brook
Thats what I was thinking. Like 1 or 2 per person
static plinth
If it were just 1 or 2 then I think it would be good to make it so you could pick them back up
inner brook
Or if you want to place a new one, it removes the oldest
static plinth
And it would be nice if each marker had a different colour depending on who placed it
inner brook
kind of like the flares
idle quartz
I get allies to stand where i want them and then teamkill them to use their corpse as a marker
but they often leave the game so it doesnt always work.

If they were to add the colours it might also be good to have it on display on the top left next to the players names when you pull up the scanner or next to their names when you hit escape and see the list of teamates

Idea for a Support Tool for a future class
"Condenser" Singularity Rocket
Fires a missile in a straight line. If it hits a mineral vein, it spreads bright cracks through the entire vein and collapses it into a single compressed gem like Jadiz or Bittergem that has to be carried to the MULE to deposit. If the missile hits rock or an enemy, it creates a brief gravity well that sucks in enemies and consumes the corpses of glyphids that die in its area of effect. When the black hole vanishes, it spits out a nugget of "Glyphidium" which is worth some amount of credits.
forest elk
Can we get a marker similar to the drop pod when the resource deposit platforms are dropped?
Many of my friends were killed by it. While rather hilarious, it does put us at a disadvantage.
Sorry if this was already suggested, I haven't scrolled too far here

still hoping they make the drop pod come to you than send it far away :/
molten fossil
If youre on hazard 4, getting to the drop pod is top priority, fuck everyone else, at least 1 person has to make it
vagrant violet
The entire point of the drop pod is that huge rush back to it while trying to fight off all the enemies
Not have it land right next to you and be all like "Welp, our work here is done" and get a free ticket to ez pz land
molten fossil
Scouts job at that point is to make sure the mission doesnt fail and zip along to the drop pod, the other 3 can fight for themselves 99% of the time
Or everyone can pile in behind the driller as he makes a tunnel to it
near glacier
@vagrant violet you really think it's a free ticket?
Even during the mining platform missions it's basically like such, it gets called in but there's a tonne of enemies while waiting... it wouldn't be much diff
vagrant violet
meh
We all enjoy running back in a hectic and chaotic sprint while every single enemy possible tries to rape you
random jungle
That's the best part :)
harsh flume
Scout should be able to ping 3 or 4 times.
near glacier
then you have drillers, that's the easiest way to anything, just drill a long line to the pod with enemies not spawning on your nearly at all most the time.
Having the drill come to you means 3 things... choosing a small enclosed space could mean the drill is facing the wrong way easily. It also means you haven't got anywhere you can really run away from the bugs because the drill is coming to you within 2-5 mins. It also means the driller becomes useless at the end for making an easy escape route because they're in the same pot as you waiting for that pod.
Basically it raises the difficulty for many, can land on you if not careful and means you have enemies coming from all sides, not 1.
vagrant violet
Or you could just run to the pod like a normal person instead of asking for a short cut
near glacier
you assume a lot...

to me it sounds like "why do I have to walk to the pod, bring it to me"
half pendant
Only thing i would like to change about the pod is have it totaly random, so it COULD land exactly where you are. Or it could land on the other side of the map
near glacier
just the pod landing so randomly doesn't feel logical since it can drill through so much to get there and it's not like the terrain changes, nor does it use the same hole it made getting there...
half pendant
I mean, logically how would you make a pod hit a hole exactly big enough for it to fit into it? Remember this thing is launched from orbit
lean haven
from an orbiting station onto a rotating planet, into a perfectly fitted hole is some perfect game hole in one expectations
near glacier
well when you think that the tech is more advanced than spacex and they manage to land it on an automated barge in the ocean?
half pendant
And its a game mechanic, fun and balance should be more important that logic tbh
Its a drop pod, not a proper space ship. Meaning it probably doesnt have that many thrusters to turn with
near glacier
it's kinda game breaking tho in terms of mechanics and flow..
Hi we dropped this platform within 30 meters of you from orbit
Hi we dropped these 4-5 resupplies directly on that beacon all those times without any error
Hi we dropped that rescue pod in the same cavern as you near the drill platform
Hi.. we need you to run through 3-4 rooms to get back to that one pod because we couldn't aim it closer?

Supply drop pods are guided by beacons. The escape pod isnt

it's no like what i'm saying isn't valid compared to all other missions tho

I think it would be nice to have a drop option that summons a scanner that can tell you the general vicinity of ores.
I got this game with a friend and on our first mission had 4 morkite left to mine and spent 20 minutes backtracking to no avail. Had to abort. He claimed the game as one of the worst he's ever played, refunded it back to steam. I know it's a patently false claim. He was just pissed I didn't want to play vermintide with him. But I think if a scanner drop was an option I might have been able to convince him to try a few more missions with me. I've been loving the game.

Usually there's extra morkite
But I agree that sometimes the game can put people off, when I first star

If your friend stops playing a game after the first mission, there's no use i'd say. It's written early access, and shit happens even in the best games.

If you ¨lack that little you can cheese the lvl. If you mine next to morkite you usualy get 0.1. If you put that in molly it counts as 1

you have lights already :thinking where is the need for more when the game is already perfectly winnable?
seems like they could just buff the lamp/flares instead of making a new robot

i mean yes you can ask someone to to scout out an area but they could lead to wasting gadgets when you could just ask the bot to light up the ceiling so you can see if its worth the effort.

Bosco is always on the team unless there are 4 people playing, and is weakened for every person who joins. At 4 people it goes into the mule.

Monster Idea: some sort of sand worm thing
foggy tree
i don't think a 5th dwarf is something the game needs. i would prefer a loadout system for the existing 4 dwarfs, with sidegrade weapons that can be upgraded in their own right. I think the gameplay niches of the 4 dwarfs covers enough that we don't need a 5th. @golden patrol I think you have some good ideas, but a lot of elements from your suggested classes could be implemented as purchasable weapons, e.g. tesla gun replacing the gunner's minigun or a sonar grenade replacing scout's slow grenade
cerulean grotto
@foggy tree they have a 5th class planned to be released in their road map
foggy tree
I read about that, and I can't say that it's a bad thing until I know what it is, but based on my (limited) experience so far I think a loadout system could give the existing 4 dwarfs a huge amount of customizability and flexibility. Of course, there's nothing to stop the devs from adding a 5th and adding a loadout system.
sick elm
iv got to agree with zotah, befor there are more dwarves I think there needs to be more content to each of their loadouts. It feels like the skeleton of the game is being set up before individual parts are being fleshed out.
cerulean grotto
i do agree with what you say, because the Scout is currently (imp) the worst class in the game and the other classes just feel boring, because you use the same weapons every mission
so adding some weapon cusomization would spice up the game and give more joy for bring a different loadout to a mission
foggy tree
a big part of that is adding weapons that synergize differently with your team. that way, having those alternative options isn't just increasing YOUR replay experience, but everyone else's on your team as well since they're coordinating differently
