i can try...

look at pinned messages, there are some fairly well done diagrams in there

#

as an example

vale shadow Jul 21, 2018, 5:22 PM

#

mate i can do that it's just the point of the whole idea is Already that ... you are asking me to counting to 3 without saying 2

#

so in short i can just try to make the suggestion more clear but i will have to work on it in these days

New Enemy / Special Event | Royal Drone
---
< Mission Parameters >
Similar to vanilla Elimination, but with more players (approx. 4). Game proceeds normally until the players break a 2nd cocoon; queuing a Mission Control message about a unusual disturbance triggered by destroying the cocoon. A Royal Drone will then emerge. It would be winged and capable of hover-jumping some distance to quickly close on fleeing players, akin to a grasshopper. Targeting the beast's wings will disable this attack. Other parts of the mob can be damaged and disabled, including: mandibles, claws, and a frontal carapace. 

Upon losing its wings, the Drone can resort to acid attacks. However, at this point with most of its defences shredded the Drone is vulnerable to non-armor piercing weapons including the flamethrower. Some of the Drone’s acid attacks would have an explosive AoE.

like : flametrhower is the first choice at the start but not for the stage when he has the acid saks exsposed

urban verge Jul 21, 2018, 5:28 PM

I cut a lot of back story and creative leeway that the devs would mostly be responsible for.

vale shadow Jul 21, 2018, 5:29 PM

#

nope mate you also cut mechanics, all right i'm gonna do a last post next time starting by your and making it all much simplier

#

Ok?

urban verge Jul 21, 2018, 5:29 PM

Suggestions need to be more cut and dry, and less flow-of-consciousness. Like @ripe axle mentioned, anything longer needs to be in an edited document of some sort.

Make it possible to kick players who are taking WAY too long to load in.

#

Omit this if someone beat me to saying it, but this is just an idea that hit me:
Is there any chance that in the future, players will be able to use Nitra to get other things? Like, if more or less Nitra can be used to get ahold of different amounts of ammo. Maybe the players can even spend large amounts of it to get power ups like an exosuit for mining or get a stationary, temporary turret (like the ones on the mining rig). I think seeing more uses for Nitra later on would be interesting regardless of if any of my examples are considered

vale shadow Jul 21, 2018, 6:23 PM

I would prefer to use morkite

Make it so if a host ragequits the second he goes down DESPITE all 3 other players being alive, all of us still get resources from the mission - I just wasted 25 minutes for nothing in return.

fallow river Jul 21, 2018, 7:18 PM

I really think it should be time scaled

#

Or balanced with main objective done

past abyss Jul 21, 2018, 7:19 PM

#

or maybe if the host alt+f4's like a sissy, the program sends an image of how much was collected to all other clients, and they get the resources they mined.

#

but not 100% return obv, otherwise people would alt+f4 to end mission early

#

I want to see something to break up the torso shape on the engineer and scout models for both armor sets

#

like a vertical line or something

#

also a survival mode with a worldwide leaderboard would be cool

#

just start the team on the mining platform and then have a continuous hazard four swarm until they all die

near glacier Jul 22, 2018, 3:22 AM

#

I'm sure it's potentially something that might be added as a finishing touch on the game, but adding animations for sitting down (and getting up) in the drop pod seats (both entering and leaving missions) would be a nice touch. I don't know enough about coding to say it for certain, but maybe that sort of confirmation that being put in a seat via holding down an interact key would somehow work into fixing the spawning bug some people have entering missions

#

For the sake of spitballing

urban verge Jul 22, 2018, 4:05 AM

#

@near glacier The devs might decide to release that in concert with the bar areas of the space rig... considering that will have a lot of seating.

Or maybe we wont see it for a while, who knows...

They should add new guns 🤔

unique granite Jul 22, 2018, 5:29 AM

#

Lead storm sidegrade: less damage, bullets bounce

#

Funny but mostly useless due to friendly fire

#

Turret sidegrade: missiles, because that's safe

#

Flare gun sidegrade: more light, flares are miniature suns

#

Flamethrower sidegrade: greek fire, or slow napalm

#

New mode: try not to kill each other

#

Started as a legitimate suggestion, became a joke when I realized the problem, redeveloped into possibly legitimate suggestion

#

I am curious about whether matchmaking would survive such circumstances; with the altered equipment, killing each other would become so laughably easy that not trying not to kill each other would be simply a mark of a lack of skill, where it is already generally possible and almost never or never happens because the community's pretty good

#

With a group of friends I think it would make for fun, high-powered, challenging, unconventional gameplay and shenanigans

tepid spindle Jul 22, 2018, 9:36 AM

#

A gamemode idea that i had in mind for a long while would a be a pvp mode, where one team plays as the glyphid/mactera swarms in a tower defense fight to keep a large central drill up and running long enough to extract its quota, whilst the "swarm" has to deal enough damage to it. Or kill enough miners until they use up their "respawn tickets" and consequentially loose connection to the drill and loose.
Though i feel that it should come as an event with ingame cosmetics that you unlock by playing the pvp mode, like a suit of armour made of glyphid bones and mactera keratin.
If it where to come, i'd probably die of amazment. And probably have to wait after release given how big this would be, though its just a suggestion
Rock and stone my dudes rocknstone

Course the engineer turrets should be destroyable to balance them out, among other things but. You get the premise

mmm.. dreadnaught carapace armor.. I wish I was an artist

tepid spindle Jul 22, 2018, 11:35 AM

barrel armor was for everyone, but got removed (I'm assuming because it's being worked on?)

#

Oi roy that's accually a thing i'm working on too

#

since of mah suggestion about the drone COULD or May have realated rewards

#

(the first thing i thought was a mounted head that can be used as a decoration but eh)

tepid spindle Jul 22, 2018, 1:20 PM

#

I could see a good set of "swarm" armour being added

#

Dreadnought for gunner
Praetorian for driller
Mactera spitter for scout
Dont know what engineers would be though

#

Had a little game mode idea in mind that i like to call a sort of, "endless" mode. Not like a survival mode but just an endless cavern, that the deeper you go the less nitra you find and more glyphids spawn, getting increasingly harder over time with added mutators like cave leech clusters after reaching a certain depth. The minerals gained would have to be lowered a good bit though, given that its endless and all you'd have to go pretty far to get a good score. Possibly even a leaderboard

vale shadow Jul 22, 2018, 1:37 PM

#

Oi the endless idea got already suggest mate, also it's already a thing in other kind of games and i don't think it fits with DRG , still we can give it a try mate, maybe if it's more set to be a Cp mission or a Koth (control point/King of the Hill)

New Biome Suggestion: ‘CLASTIC CONFINES’
========
< Terrain & Notable Formations >
[Rock](Primarily compacted black, volcanic sandstone with intermittent formations of extremely hard volcanic glass)
[Surface](Finely pulverized dark regolith that gets in everything; superheated geothermal pools of bubbling lahar; landslides of overflowing volcanic mud)
[Hazards](Pyroclastic clouds - akin to geysers, but deadly)
[Topography](Low ceilinged main chambers that are long, and wide; chambers connected by spindly bundles of very, very cramped tunnels; multiple tunnels running parallel, or converging/diverging between primary chambers)
[Resources](Abundant Bismor | Scarce Magnite)

Gameplay:
---
Dwarves would find themselves confronted by many unique dangers, particularly pyroclastic bursts which would not only obscure vision, but also dish out burn damage. Despite deadly falls being a rarity in this environment, getting lost and singled out is a real danger. Slippery lahar surfaces, and quicksand like regolith means things get much worse. Between the breathing space of main chambers are small labyrinths of claustrophobic tunnel networks, laden with dark corners and cutback perfect for glyphid ambushes. Narrow halls also mean fewer dwarves can bring their weapons to bear, and friendly fire in the cramped spaces of the Clastic Confines might be more dangerous than any enemy, or hazard. Coordination, and sticking close by is a must. Lone dwarves stand no chance.

@tepid spindle Yah, I wanted to come up with something that funnels the team together. A lot of maps are very spacious, and while visually impressive, they allow the team too much breathing room. In Claustic Caverns, there would be very little room to retreat too. Close combat skills and perhaps melee perks are the only method of turning the tide; not to mention staying grouped up and focused.

#

The map would be about not only the hazards and bugs, but feeling like the walls themselves are closing in to swallow you and your team.

#

Teams would also have good opportunity to get creative with digging, something that I think is lacking even on maps like Sandblasted Corridor.

If i could suggest, maybe a "Are you sure" button on the reset progress, I had a bit of a idiot moment and pressed it by mistake it was funny afterwards, so no hard feelings as I am enjoying the game a lot.

@vale shadow "still we can give it a try mate" why are you speaking as if you're a dev?

Cuz mate we are the commiunity mate we have the numbers mate, so in other words if Lots of people support an idea there is more chenche they listen to that , also i'm no bloody dev mate , i wish i was but ain't this the case!

rocky bear Jul 22, 2018, 5:35 PM

#

hmm see

#

despite the enthusiasm, you have to keep in mind that suggesting things that are far removed from the current state of the game (or even technically unachievable) is kind of raising your hopes too high

#

it's fine to feel involved but try to think realistically

#

most likely I think that 90% of "content" suggestions are misguided; the devs themselves have already brainstormed about it and probably know their limitations better, what they can and cannot do

#

there IS room for suggestions, but more on a conceptual level based on what you feel the game lacks design wise; in term of general systems

#

for example:

#

if you want to talk about perks, weapons or loadouts, suggesting new content based on the existing system is probably less important than discussing about how to improve the system itself

#

I can't give you an accurate example about perks in general but I did suggest something that I felt was necessary

oi mate i appreciate the help but i just avoiding reacting since i'm no kid and i know already this place ain't for shit like that so thanks anyway

(a more general Suggestion ) : i think the game could use some events for the hight levels or well... the old guys of the game so that the young ones are motiveted to rank up, maybe rewarding with credits or trhofys in the memory Hall...

rocky bear Jul 22, 2018, 5:55 PM

#

if you want a good topic, the progression ceiling and currency sinks is one of the obvious limit of the game

#

in other words what do you do once you've unlocked things, and do you even bother digging minerals

#

since the game is heavily progression based and one of the main drives is upgrading weapons / grinding cosmetics

past abyss Jul 22, 2018, 5:57 PM

#

I would like to see a mineral sink added especially - I'm sitting on 580k credits and over 5k of every ore - send halp ;-;

somehow i always manage to be like with just 10k

past abyss Jul 22, 2018, 5:58 PM

#

so now extra XP is completely useless - only thing left is to mine gold for future patches I guess.....

rocky bear Jul 22, 2018, 5:58 PM

#

so the game needs to throw permanent currency sinks to keep players playing half of the game - which is gathering minerals and credits

that's just linear upgrades and power creeps, hardly content

bigger numbers is a quick fix, but doesnt fundamentally change the game

solemn kestrel Jul 22, 2018, 6:00 PM

well the last route you have mate is wait and hope for new stuff

#

and bigger beasties to kill

rocky bear Jul 22, 2018, 6:00 PM

#

was about to say consumables so yes, temporary upgrades

#

it boils down to two obvious options:
-cosmetics
-upgrades

#

you can't really make consumable cosmetics

#

consumable upgrades is a possibility

past abyss Jul 22, 2018, 6:01 PM

#

customizable armor - very expensive but very nice

#

unfortunately not a permanent sink

rocky bear Jul 22, 2018, 6:02 PM

but even if you have consumable cosmetics AND upgrades that's still pretty limited

past abyss Jul 22, 2018, 6:02 PM

#

yeah

rocky bear Jul 22, 2018, 6:02 PM

#

so you gotta find a 3rd way to do it, and that's where you get to be creative

past abyss Jul 22, 2018, 6:02 PM

#

a fun sink would be the DRG bar - buy a drink for either a random buff or a random debuff during your next mission

#

can stack up to 4 drinks

#

#wasted

#

it wouldn't really be a sink tho - more of a fun perks randomizer

#

what they should really add is separate maps where you get to use mining vehicles

#

just for a spice of different missions

rocky bear Jul 22, 2018, 6:05 PM

#

this end-game problem is in every game

#

it usually separates the games that revolve around enjoyment through progression from the games that rely on gameplay alone

#

usually the latter category always has a PvP element to go beyond the limitations of PvE

but I PvP won't be a thing in DRG

past abyss Jul 22, 2018, 6:07 PM

#

I think the devs made this game non-PvP to prevent the toxic stereotype in almost all PvP games these days

rocky bear Jul 22, 2018, 6:09 PM

#

the only thing I can really think about right now is

#

corporate competition, akin to "factions"

#

which allows you to contest "territories" without actually directly introducing PvP

#

and trying to tie-in consumables in the form of disrupting competing mining operations using "negative events" sent by players

past abyss Jul 22, 2018, 6:16 PM

#

dude that would be dope

#

to start with a minimalistic idea - introduce a rival mining company that competes with DRG - then have missions available where you sabotage rival company mining equipment/operations in an area, and DRG pays you extra money to keep your mouth shut 👌 gold 💰

#

they really need to expand on DRG's slimey tactics as a corporation - could have some very interesting results

@rocky bear maybe there could be mini satchel charges for mining ores embedded in super dense rock - mining with explosives is always more fun

rocky bear Jul 22, 2018, 7:42 PM

#

I use C4 when I'm lazy

#

but it's a finite resource

past abyss Jul 22, 2018, 7:43 PM

#

yeah so like everyone gets 2 mini satchels that can only be used for mining purposes - special dense rock deposits will form, and you walk up to them and hold E to break off some of the surface rock, then plant a mini satchel in the pocket

#

special rock deposits have a 50% chance to contain compacted ore of any variety of that particular map

#

so use your charges well!

rocky bear Jul 22, 2018, 7:44 PM

anyway that's still pointing and clicking

#

using satchels would be the same as hitting with a pickaxe, just faster

there is no "endgame" just like there is no "meaning of life" ;P

imo they should do everything to further encourage coop teamplay without forcing it on people, for me that is the endgame, playing with nice people having fun while progressing in the game 😃

rocky bear Jul 22, 2018, 9:04 PM

the way is the goal my brother

gilded breach Jul 22, 2018, 9:25 PM

#

here comes my real suggestion. make it way more obvious through soound when enemy attacks are about to happen, the bomb bugs are way too silent, they make no sound at all when they about to blow up

#

also, the new creatures, you need to indicate that they are near and about to attack

#

think left for dead 😃

#

also, if possible, what i don't think it will but i suggest it anyways ;P dedicated servers insteads of P2P, i get disbanded so many times because the host decides to quit, no clue if P2P allows to switch the host, that would be even better

QT3,14 meirmaid eel bartender - serves you drinks n' shit that MAYBE get you buffs/debuffs during the mission (objective waifu, and also kinda relevant, since "Abyss Bar", and eels being sometimes in the abyssal zone, etc) she's shy in the start but starts to get more talkative with you dwarves as you talk to her
elf - ex-CEO/freelancer that thinks he's hot stuff, gives you some lore on the elven side of the whole universe thing
orc - blacksmith that now works for Deeprock, gives you some lore on the orc side of the whole universe thing
human - steriotypical russian dude (with a huge bear as his pet, that later turns out to be a robot) that talks about every race's lore, maybe some lore on fantasy space-age earth, and also is basicly a technician, telling you how to repair stuff faster, and also some other general gameplay tips (also maybe unlocks a new fast-repair perk if you talk to him for long enough)
Extra Bar NPCs
goblin - sells you perks and upgrades but is in an area hard to get to (maybe a hidden area in the bar), also gives you some lore on the goblin society n' thieves guilds n' shit
kobold group - they usualy are around the orc talking about, maybe you learn about their culture later
2 lizardmen - they are usualy drunk off their asses but they keep going with their tequilla shots or whatever, you get a lot of lore outta them very easly, mostly lizardmen myth, but sometimes actual lore
gnomes - they're kinda like recruits look up to you (dwarves) as a figure to respect, you get some lore out of them, but after a while since there's just so many fucken gnomes to talk to

What if when you played the jukebox, for each song there were actual hidden gems you could find, and as you found each gem for each song you could unlock new cosmetics or emotes that you could equip depending on which songs gems you found (Ex: if you find the hidden gem for the rock and roll song in the timeframe, you get a guitar to sling on your back).

Consumable perks for the coming bar. I have a stack of loot I'd love to burn.

-New Lantern color purchace for 1/3/5 games.
-Passive glow as if carrying an Aqaarq or Jadiz.
-leech oil, causes brief delay before leech successfully grabs you.

faster lantern regen
unique skin color threat it's only temporarily gain at bar
-Drunken Dwarves, unique and hilarious dialogue lines during next game.
-Etc.

ripe axle Jul 23, 2018, 3:53 PM

#

Passive glow seems very annoying as using glows to determine where loot is is quite common, and will likely get very conflated with 4 players emitting a color.

By Lantern color do you mean flares? The Headlight? There's already upgrades for faster regen

Skin color is already a purchasable cosmetic, not sure I like the idea of there being two places to change skin color

Whipped up a short document regarding my suggestion entry for the 5th class. pickaxe

📎 DRG_Technician_Class_Suggestion_v2.pdf

#

"There are two kinds of dwarves in this universe. Those that consider digging a science, and idiots."
===
The < Technician > is a support based class. He specializes in keeping teammates working the mission, and not working to merely survive. This class mainly focuses on Collection Bots, handy robotic crawlers which grab excess ores and other items; then scurry back to deposit them in the M.U.L.E. Additionally, Echolocator Pylons can be constructed to help find resources and other hazards - most of which can be easily cleared away by the Technician's mechanized [Harvester Header](equipped instead of a Pick Axe).

In a fight, the Technician can hold back and help highlight enemies with the Bio-Flechette Pistol - a weapon that poisons enemies and lights the targets with a microflare. Shooting allies with the pistol will momentarily boost their stamina, and provide additional ambient light. At close range, the Harvester Header has reduced melee damage; however, the Technician can compensate with powerful blasts from a Laser Shotgun. 

Danger. Darkness. Tech Support.
---

#

The document is very short; however, the above entry quickly summarizes the class, and its main faculties.

vale shadow Jul 23, 2018, 7:35 PM

My suggestion for the day: Type : NEW WEAPON
For : Gunner
weapon name :** PUM-PUM X03**
Description: a portable shoulder cannon with meadion rate of fire that compansate the lower fire rate (and the fact it has a clip of 76 rounds on the back witch takes a little to get auto realoaded by the autamed sistem on the back of the gun) with explosives rounds at hight velocity and implact making GREAT for fireworks shows AND cleaning everything in ya way!
The ammo quantity is gonna be : 75/100
NOTE : no mate the rounds can't dig.... so don't even try..
secondary note : in THEORY if the devs like the idea the gun sound would resembling a "PUM PUM " sound , i'm inspiring this idea to a real gun that saw the first great conflic , the design i will propose will be different tho .

#

PS : il will post a simple concept art in the gallery for this one so have a nice look!(toumorrow because i have a shit ton of work to do but if you guys like the idea make me know...)

urban verge Jul 24, 2018, 4:26 PM

@wide trail It's like a miniature powered multitool for digging, and cutting up hostile foliage. Basically, it would be sorta like a power gauntlet with claw/grinder/drill/saw attachments - a precision instrument made for destroying obstacles, but not for combat. Since my version of the Technician has no mobility equipment item, I had to somehow improve his digging ability.

#

The Driller's drills are poor at cutting down toxic mushrooms, spiker plants, brood nexus, and spitballers. The Harvester Header would be able to cut them down with relative ease. Also, digging regular terrain would be a breeze, but the Driller's drills would still be unmatched in debris removal; especially for tunnels that the entire team would use.

#

Also, there might even be an option to have an insulated cutting face upgrade - along with the Technician's electrical insulation - he can take care of lightning crystals (something that only explosives can safely destroy). The Technician could also assist the driller in making paths through sticky goo.

#

It's based on real life examples of logging equipment. The Harvester Header would be miniaturized & dwarf portable.

"We sent a remote heavy shredder to cut a way into a particularly large and valuable gem cluster, however midway through we lost control and tracking signals. We do know however that it is still in operation, which is where you come in. Your job is to follow it's path, locate it, and if need be shut it down before it destroys itself and our valuables, and possibly you along with them."

#

"One of our planet side research teams have been cut off from all communication. Based on evidence we have our fears that it could have been an attack from The amorphous creature 'D674-C1', Nicknamed 'Grimm'. There's a lot of worrying information and rumors on him, but all we know is that currently he is effectively indestructible. If this is the case then your one and only priority is to restore connection to the research base; preferably without dying. Good luck, team."

#

"Alright team. While field testing a top secret prototype medic-bot, the testers were assaulted by a sudden swarm of glyphids and the healbot was taken by them for unknown reasons. Your job is simple: Locate the healbot's beacons, find it, and retrieve it; be it destroyed, malfunctioned, or simply out of power. Once you do return to base for briefing. get to work boys, and remember: don't ask questions."

(Can we have a mission that's timed and the reason is because a shockwave or explosion that will collapse the entire cave is imminent and if you don't make it to the droppod in time you get consumed be the wave?)

#

"Alright boys, it's shrieker mating season, and that means that a large influx of shiekers have invaded this sector of caves and began eating our valuable minerals. Your job is simple: Eliminate them. A shrieker's matriarch control's most shieker's activity, so focus your efforts on them. Locating these tunneling creatures is a different challenge on it's own. You'll need to eliminate at least 7 of them before this sector will be rated clean enough to resume standard mining operations."

#

"Team, troubling news. The shredder is picking up our signals again, but it's operations are haywire and it's running around in random directions. You're going to have to find a way to shut it off without getting too close, otherwise it will make mincemeat of you in a second."

#

"Great work team! You shut it off. Now that that's taken care of, find the main console and give it a looking at to fix it. We're sending replacement parts to your location now."

#

"Good, all signals restored, all systems responding and operation is resuming. I recommend you either hitch a ride on it or stay clear, as it's about to begin mining again."

good morning sunshines! i got a simple yet practical suggestion for you all : how about something (a perk or a real pice of equipment that is viseable ) that helps out resisting on the eviroments ? like for example a perk or item that gives the abilite to substeain top amount of heat and fire damdge so that we can all surveve more in the Magma core , or a Hazmat suite for the fungus bog, or radioactive proof suites.
(all those can be converted in just specific perks so i think those would make the survaibility better...)

Solo mode:
-Most people seem to say swarms are too easy
-Due to limited equipment compared to coop it can be harder to get around and complete secondaries
-Dread's are not fun to fight as most classes due to no time to shoot them resulting in need of cheap tactics

Exploders:

Will rarely move super fast and explode super fast
-It can feel cheap to die when you are just in the radius of an exploder, 25% drop off is tiny

Acid spitters:
-Often very hard to see their projectiles often giving you little warning to dodge out of the way when they fire their first shot, which can lead to unfair deaths due to their high damage

Salvage:

Has massive difficulty spikes depending on where the area is, if it is on a cliff or stump it can be significantly harder to hold it off sand nearly impossible in some cases

-Modifier are fun, but often are really extreme, it would be nice if they came in pairs to balance themselves out more

Droppod:
-Often in missions where you run back to the droppod are boring due to the bugs spawning behind you as you escape

Biome Specific Glyphid Aesthetics / Adaptations | Fighting against the same cookie cutter enemy types can slowly wear down the experience, and it also detracts from the uniqueness of each biome. I suggest that each biome have a unique aesthetic for the glypids that spawn there.

#

Also, along the lines of the mutators system - biomes might see infrequent glypids with adaptations.

#

For instance, some Warrior Glypids found in the Radioactive Exclusion Zone might have chromed exoskeletons, making them more resistant to radiation, but at the same time affording them greater armor. Swarmers from Magma Core could have increase flame resistance, and be darker in coloration to denote their adaptation.

#

Other aesthetics might include fungus, and salt crystals forming on the exoskeletons of glypids from the Fungus Bogs and Salt Pits respectively.

#

Killing special adapted glypids in the Radioactive Exclusion Zone might release toxic radioactive particles. Certain types in the Dense Biozone could explode spikes when killed.

#

Not only would environments be unique, but so would the enemies found there.

urban verge Jul 26, 2018, 4:22 PM

#

Also, the flame adaptation might only be applied to certain enemies.

#

Visually, all the biome mobs should be distinct, but the speciality adaptations would be infrequent special events. Like only a single swarm might be flame resistant - with audio call outs from the dwarves to denote the effect.

#

A single swarm of warriors would have the armoring. Maybe only a squad of mactera would have the spike explosion adaptation.

#

Not all the time, or that would make it boring. 😃

#

@ripe viper I suggest something a while back. Search Clastic Confines

#

Also, the markdown formatting is easier to read on PC as opposed to mobile.

The main hazard I suggest would be pyroclastic flows - which are the most deadly form of volcanic eruption. https://youtu.be/Cvjwt9nnwXY

@urban verge, i think, it will be better with Magnite as primary mineral and bismor as secondary.

Yeah, I have noticed Magnite as a bit scarce. Although, I don't know if that's intentional by the devs.

#

So I had suggested otherwise.

naive oasis Jul 26, 2018, 5:36 PM

#

A fairly simple "local variant" rule for fungus bogs.
The batch is infected with a precariously sedate form of Cordyceps, that quickly takes over after death.

These variants are easily identified by the giant wiggly fungus growing out of their heads, but after death the fungus double in size rapidly and starts giving off a bacteria hazard like the dead Praetorians.

ripe viper Jul 26, 2018, 5:37 PM

#

I think Devs won't make another biome until revealing another materials like umanite or bismor, @urban verge

It is going to be a global update IMO.

urban verge Jul 26, 2018, 5:43 PM

#

@last wasp suggested a while back about predator/prey. Much like how ants have predators in the wild, I think it would be interesting to see apex predators of Hoxxes - hostile to both dwarves and Glypids (and their mutualistic allies such as Mactera).

#

It was in #drg-chat

#

Giant predatory centipedes for instance

📎 4ad6f9f2a1e4f00785726f7753abbe17.jpg

#

Likely even more dangerous than Glyphid Dreadnoughts. Something that could also be attracted to inbound swarms. "Where... wha? Team! There's something on the scanner! It's huge, and imbound on your position. I can't get a lock, it's too fast!"

lean haven Jul 26, 2018, 5:48 PM

#

Centipedes have definitely been brought up already

urban verge Jul 26, 2018, 5:48 PM

#

Yes, but as predatory mini-boss enemies?

#

I was trying to tie it into this other interesting concept. They might not have a place as Glypids since they look so distinct, and different.

lean haven Jul 26, 2018, 5:49 PM

#

Just type in centipede into the search menu

#

Lots of results

urban verge Jul 26, 2018, 5:51 PM

Defiantly, they would work better as a solo predator.

Because honestly the game would be really fun with something that would actually scare the players

hard robin Jul 26, 2018, 9:54 PM

#

Game mode idea: Material cluster defense
Dwarfs are sent to a completely unexplored part of Hoxxes where big material clusters have been found when DRG made a scan of that area.
You are sent with a group of 4 mini mules, and since there wasn't any sign of minerals like nitra or gold, you go there with enough nitra to call at least 5 supply drops.

Find the material cluster and defend the mini mules against hordes of enemies while they mine and store the precious and valuable material.

Mini mules can switch between stances, either mining, defensive or offensive

Defensive stance allows you to deploy a barrier that will slow down enemies

Offensive stance allows you to deploy a turret with capacity of 500 bullets

Mini mules not mining the material will slow down the process, and at least 1 mini mule has to be mining since normal pickaxes are not effective

When reached the max amount of materials collected, drop pod will be called after 1 min

#

Mini mules will stop mining when getting attacked by enemies, deploying a shield with 500 health, it is important that you keep the mini mules safe from any hostile creature, if all mini mules are destroyed, mission will fail

ripe axle Jul 26, 2018, 10:00 PM

#

Is it just a defense mission then? There's no necessary mining to be done by the players? It's mainly jus all combat?

hard robin Jul 26, 2018, 10:03 PM

#

Pretty much, yes. Mini mules are the ones who do all the job, dwarfs just need to protect them

tepid spindle Jul 26, 2018, 10:45 PM

#

Im on board with that, killing glyphids in incredibly safisfying

ripe viper Jul 26, 2018, 10:45 PM

#

So you suggest us to kill glyphids more often?

ripe axle Jul 26, 2018, 10:56 PM

#

Keep in mind most missions are a combination of mining exploration and combat, not that a change of pace is bad, just that this will be already a unique gamemode.

hard robin Jul 26, 2018, 11:01 PM

#

I think it would be a nice gamemode, a bit different from the others, there's already a elimination gamemode, rescue mission, and it would be similar to point extraction, a big cave but instead of a mine head, there's a giant material node

#

So why not a defense mission?

naive raven Jul 27, 2018, 12:18 AM

#

Suggestion: 8:16:24 player raids with slightly altered and increased objective sizes and larger map sizes.
Example: 16 player elimination mission requiring the defeat of 12 dreadnaughts (3 for smaller squads of 4) and potentially one ultra boss at the end.
Map would be about the size of 4 normal maps, each mini squad would land in their own drop pod, or a larger drop pods that will fit 8 people.
Rewards would be slightly increased. The way to limit the farming of these missions and their high reward output would be to make them only available at 2-3 times a day and at certain times.
Tomorrows raids would be broadcasted on the mission terminal.
An additional add-on, but not really needed, is combinations of different planet regions: Such as A combo of Crystalline Caverns, Fungus Bogs, and Radioactive Zone.
Any comments, thoughts, or opinions, would be greatly appreciated.

naive oasis Jul 27, 2018, 1:09 AM

Call it 4 times a day, 6 hours apart with a slightly different phase offset each day (so some days it shows up 3,9,15,21 another day 5,11,17,23

The new larger caves can be a complete slog

Due to the minerals being spread out and them being so massive

#

It takes forever to get around and for nothing to mine

#

Maybe have more minerals sapwns

urban verge Jul 27, 2018, 7:20 PM

But then it would be comparatively easier to complete the mission, and the rewards would be huge. There would be no reason to not do massive map missions.

I think the devs want large caves to emphasize the impressiveness of the surroundings. Resources defiantly need some tweaking, but I think having to hunt them down is part of the challenge. Making it easier would cut out content.

Still has falling hazards

No, spread it out more evenly.

fallow river Jul 27, 2018, 7:26 PM

I’m sure the addition of more floral and fauna will amend the lack of content in caves.

fallow river Jul 27, 2018, 7:27 PM

When a cave takes 10mins longer but has the same stuff to mine

I mean sure having cool plants to look at

urban verge Jul 27, 2018, 7:30 PM

#

I think some of the seeding can get whacked. Also, in the Biozone, some resources are hidden in fissure overhangs.

#

You can’t see them unless you’re up close and peering right at them.

fallow river Jul 27, 2018, 7:33 PM

#

The spacing of resources is something that alotta player have complained about for dense biozone

#

Despite being one of the best looking biomes

#

The fact that it takes much longer to complete a similar mission due to map spawn is why it's so low rated, even in small caves its often hidden above ledges etc

urban verge Jul 27, 2018, 7:34 PM

#

@fallow river But yeah, I don’t see why an slight increase wouldn’t be warranted. Assuming players might prefer to choose smaller, faster maps for the same resource.

#

Unfortunately that means they’ll likely explore less of the cave...

fallow river Jul 27, 2018, 7:34 PM

#

I mean I absoultely love the biozone

#

But it just takes so long

#

D:

urban verge Jul 27, 2018, 7:44 PM

#

What would be even better is to increase resources in larger caves, but make individual veins less in proportion to smaller caves.

#

That way not only is there actually more resources, but they appear more frequently, just in smaller amounts.

modest nova Jul 27, 2018, 9:57 PM

#

New warning: increased amount and frequency of environmental hazards

strong cliff Jul 27, 2018, 10:36 PM

#

I uh, I agree with mushu here, the generation for biozone at least could use a bit of scaling down

#

the caverns in SC, fungus bogs, etc. aren't so bad, but only because you can clear them in a reasonable amount of time while they're still pretty large and, well, cavernous

#

but biozone is an absolute slog because it's like you move four feet through a cave, then hit a massive cavern that takes forever to clear out between the hidden nooks and crannies of minerals on top of swarm attacks

#

also biozone has a weird thing, I dunno if it's because they wanted to focus on falling being a major hazard, but it seems to "layer" caverns instead of just generating one huge empty space; there's several layers of ledges and areas, where of course there's potential minerals and resources at. sure it makes fall damage a major hazard but getting up to those areas, even with a scout, can be kind of annoying and time consuming.

#

especially when you get to the top and find out there's nothing actually there

#

also on a note of the resources bit, I don't think lowering/increasing the resource deposits would help with this issue

#

I've had caverns have either or and more often than not it's an issue of "this is taking too long for me to make sure it's clear". lowering it makes you search more to make sure you didn't miss anything, increasing it just increases the time it takes to clear out as well as make sure you cleared out the cavern of resources. making them generate at a reasonable scale would make this simpler. I feel like you could still get the same kinda pretty environment and screenshots and stuff with a little less uhhh...size.

#

SC does really well in having large caverns but a simple landscape so you can at least see everything you can collect, clear it out, and keep moving. there's just so much going on in Dense Biozone though that you can't see everything right away, so you have to go over it a few times to make sure you got it all, and the size makes that quite an undertaking to the point that it's significantly more time consuming to do a single level there versus hopping to another map with the same resources.

tepid spindle Jul 27, 2018, 10:58 PM

#

I think its a few biomes but i noticed that in the exclusion zone, the stalatites arent actualy stalagtites, just struts of rock

strong vector Jul 27, 2018, 11:41 PM

#

Could there be a utility weapon that instead of shoots platforms, it can a roughly meter cubed mass directly from the end of the weapon in a near constant stream? It'd be useful to create bridges or ramps, or could block tunnels. The downfall of it compared to the platform gun is that it's range is limited to directly in front of you about a meter away.

Would this be balanced? Or is it just not needed since ziplines are already a thing?

Suggestion: New Mission: “Rival Rescue”
HQ receives an SOS from rival mining team “Caves. Resource. Astro. Prospecting.” Also Known as “C.R.A.P” Mission starts with Mission Control saying that “Rival mining team CRAP is trapped and need assistance but um… we may as well collect as many minerals as possible in the process. As an added bonus CRAP have offered half of their minerals as reward for helping them.”
Mission acts as normal mining mission at this point until you come across CRAP’s pod with the team scattered around nearby and need to be revived. Once revived Mission Control contacts you. “Wait. There is a massive blip coming your way guys. Work together to fend of the beasts and get that pod running again.”
Once the swarm is defeated and the pod’s location has been triangulated, CRAP tell you “Thanks for your help, we can get the fuel supply and Pod running. But we still have a mini MULE further down this cave. You guy go get it and you can have what’s in it.”
At this point any member of Deep Rock who decides to stick around and wait with CRAP will eventually be shot by them and if all team members are killed mission fails.
Otherwise at this point the mission continues as a Salvage Operation as Deep Rock dwarfs continue deeper into the cave to find the legs of the mini mule and rebuild it. Once rebuild Mission Controls says “Great job team, now hurry and get back to CRAP’s Pod before they take off without you.”
Once you do get back to the Pod wouldn’t you know, you get back just in to see the doors close and the Pod leave with CRAP saying. “Thanks for the help boys, keep the mini mule and enjoy your stay down here. Don’t expect us to come to rescue you. Suckers.”
As the pod leaves another swarm comes to your location, once the swarm is defeated Mission Control says “Bastard CRAP! I thought this might happen. I’ve activated the button on the mule push it and I will send you a pod.” Then follow Molly to the Pod and escape. Mission Complete.

I just thought of something for fun. Would it be possible to implement a sort of mutation that disables your hud?

Like, it wouldnt even show the mutation on the mission select, you would load in the mission and bam, surprise you have no hud.

In the space ship: a court with a barrel in the middle and a goal on either side of the court. Thats it. I had so much fun kick barrels around with friends so we invented an impromptu "soccer" and I think this could be an activity on the ship in a dedicated space. If there would even be a score board that would be extra awesome but not necessary for it to work.

currently no since it's still in EA nor has there been any mention of mod support from the devs themselves but we have talked about it before so perhaps when the game is done they'll add it in?

The space rig is already spacious enough that there's no real need fo ir to be designed this way, but one way the corridoors could be made to look more interesting is if they were tight with service conduits, access hatches and valves - like the inside of a submarine.

Pipes can't be too hard to make modular parts for?

#

so in the #drg-chat chat i ranked my personal list for the missions

#

you'll probably notice that its roughtly split between "3 good ones, and 3 less than good ones"

#

Ima make a few suggestions for the less than good ones here

#

and maybe a few minor things for the good ones

#

1 Salvage: I feel like it's mostly fine, but on higher difficulties it feels a little too daunting to stay inside the tiny area for the whole duration, and the fact that going out can severely punish you and make recovery even harder, it can be overwhelming. I'm not sure how to address this without overcorrecting and making it a cakewalk, but a simple increase to the area might suffice.

2 Point extraction: Mostly fine, my only request is on the easier difficulties, make swarms a bit less frequent, as it feels like you are never not being harassed by swarmers while you're just trying to get some aquark back

3 Mining expedition: Pretty much perfect as it is. It's simple and yet replayable, perfect for beginners and yet not boring to veterans. Maybe find some way to prevent or discourage cheesing the escape with driller, but aside from that it's fine right where it is.

#

now for the "bad" ones

#

4 Search and extract: I can't think of a way to make this mode fun without drastic changes, all of which would make it further resemble other gamemodes. Something i can imagine trying is making the maps bigger, more sprawling, and also adding further optional objectives beyond the 1

5 Elimination: the problem isn't the concept, but the execution. Dreadnaughts are fine when they are rare and you have a team backing you up, but when they are the sole objective it gets boring very fast. Something i can imagine is simply adding new boss types which will mix things up significantly, allowing dreadnaughts to stay but simply allowing the gamemode to become more.

Perhaps even this could be the gamemode that offers a randomness and inherent risk: you wouldn't know what you're going to fight until you get to them in mission. It would be random, but the right kind of random: the kind you have to opt into and know the inherent risk beforehand. As such they could also have significantly higher rewards than standard mission types.

#

6 Collection: Honestly if we're talking the realistic approach here, this should either be removed entirely or just merged with Mining expedition or Search and extract. There's nothing about this gamemode that is unique aside from what the objective material is made of.

If we're talking ideal world dreams though, one way that this could be reworked as would be a dedicated "hive" biome where the enemies are numerous, time is limited, and there's no Nitra or mining to be found. You'd have to act fast, grab the eggs, and get out as soon as possible before you are overwhelmed. Perhaps it could even include some kind of queen boss monster that either you'd be forced to fight, or could be an optional objective for a significant bonus.

rocky bear Aug 1, 2018, 10:44 AM

#

well technically waves grow bigger over time

#

that's the "clock"

#

and ammo is limited

#

but yes it needs a bit more diversity in secondary objectives, or resource collection in general

#

right now it's boiling down to:
-right click minerals
-dig objects out

#

-pick up flowers

adding to previous lazer beam ideas, give gunners a choice between minigun and lazer beam gun, both performing similarly except for lazer beam gun firing at full accuracy after spin up making it more effective at range while minigun remains the choice for gunners who like up close fighting

Laser is more accurate, mini is more damage

@thin gust Rotory laser cannons are a bit of a cliche. Maybe just make it a single barrel, with the spin up replaced with a charge build.

silver sinew Aug 1, 2018, 8:27 PM

#

@slow bronze it could also be cool if the archive was added to only after you encounter each type of enemy/fauna, something I've enjoyed while playing Spelunky recently

#

Just an issue/suggestion I have, I love the game but without reliable internet I usually play solo scout and still find the game enjoyable and challenging. But when I load into a Point Extraction mission and first exit the Drop Pod, the dialogue box from Mission Control is so big and detailed that it covers most of my screen. It seems like you load right into the main area where all the aliens have already spawned and they go right after you, I get shredded right off the bat every time, because I can't see what I'm shooting! If that longer dialogue box could show up one line at a time and match the smaller size of the Incoming Wave dialogue it would be much easier to see things.

tepid spindle Aug 1, 2018, 11:38 PM

#

The text box should be a set size and slowly scroll down from a line of text so that it doesnt take up too much if the screen

tall summit Aug 2, 2018, 1:41 PM

#

So I was playing solo last night with my squad open to the public Incase anyone wanted to join. About 30 mins in somebody joins blasting techno music and as soon as they load in they team kill me then leave immediately after they down me which causes me to fail and obviously get almost nothing. I don't know if there's a way around this but sure sucks that there's people going around doing this to solo people that are trying to build a group.

near glacier Aug 2, 2018, 2:12 PM

#

If I search for UI adjustment or UI settings, I can't find anything. That's why I bring it up maybe for the X time. Forgive me. The game looks even more atmospheric-claustrophobic without Hud. Atm I can adjust size of the whole UI and activate/deactivate Icons seperately. I would prefer playing with my HUD turned off completely, but it also mutes the callouts and disables my Scanner(the pointing thing). Also it disables the Mineral counter. So my preferrable setting would be: HUD turned off, voices on, Scanner and Radar on, Mineral counter on(or just appearing when I request it, OR just appearing while I am depositing).

@tall summit That really will always be the bane of open lobbies. You can kick players - and if someone is mic spamming make sure to kick them immediately - set the match to private if they try to rejoin.

#

Along the line of visual requests:```md
Visual update to the Resupply Pod | Specifically modules that extend from the pod once it lands

Glowing boxes aren't that visually impressive. It would be neat if some ammunition boxes popped out with flex chutes linking out from the supply pod. When dwarves begin to restock, the chute begins to cycle ammunition into the box which disappears upon completion; perhaps with a dwarf grab animation.

I think it would be nice if every class had unlimited mobility on a cooldown like the scout.

#

im sure it could be balanced and still require teamwork if the team wants to move around efficiently, but it would make it more fun for solo mode and for each class individually.

#

for example, the low ammo zipline gun could also be reworked so that you can recoil ziplines or something, or the engineer could mine his platforms to return material to his gun. the driller could have drills that need much longer cooldown, but unlimited ammo, this would also stop the cheesy strat of drilliing straight to the escape pod.

Better glypids spawns, and hardened rock formations would be a better method to prevent boring to the pod. However, if you time getting back - drilling vs. legging it are roughly the same speed. And if your team beats Molly, you still have to defend until it arrives.

There could also be rock formations that cause more jamming, rather than have RNG frustration that punishes skilled players, and rewards lucky ones.

rocky bear Aug 6, 2018, 2:27 PM

#

so if you drill into solid you'd have a good possibility of being swarmed

#

but I don't think making the drill bad is the solution

#

just having a bunch of "hollow" walls fixes that, since drilling straight would have you fall in small crevices and considerably slow down the process

@rocky bear Intermittent chambers would obscure the map in the terrain scanner, unless the devs implement that they’re only seen upon being drilled into. That combined with the jamming rock, and improved glypid emerging/tunneling would solve personal mining operations.

#

Swarms have issues spawning in confined spaces. Unless they are giving the ability to spawn in terrain and emerge from the wall, confined spaces will always be a defensive meta.

rocky bear Aug 6, 2018, 2:33 PM

purple nests are already pre-drilled

there are little hollow tunnels

urban verge Aug 6, 2018, 2:34 PM

I’m talking mobs appearing out of the walls instead of popping into view.

Prevents the cave space from fundamentally limiting their spawn potential.

@ripe viper Just toss a grenade down one of the holes. Gets em’ every time like a gopher bomb.

How about visualised grenade tossing direction?

urban verge Aug 6, 2018, 2:42 PM

#

Might be nice. I suggested prior that (like HL2) the player should have the option to tap the grenade toss button which underhands the grenade. Pressing and holding allows the player to wind up and overhand throw for greater accuracy/range.

tepid violet Aug 6, 2018, 6:49 PM

in large spaces, a dense bio zome in a tropical climate would have a high rate of humidity, and stalactites form as a result of this same behavior as well as surface leakage

What they should do is promote cheaters - but make an option to flag your hosted server as a cheating server, that way people won't join it if they don't want to.

Why fight something if you can easily isolate it.

Additionally to the flag on the server, a very obvious warning will pop up when you go to join a cheating server - exclaiming how it has cheats enanbled... etc. You obviously won't gain any progress on a cheating server.

#suggestions (3) We need to have a "Last Players" list when we play in multiplayers for adding or sending a message to that player. I've played with French peoples want to add them, but Steam doesn't like that player. Sometimes Steam are not updated with all the latests player.
