pretty sure throwing is left click and E is dropping

I don'f think that'd be fair. You'd be increasing the ratio of time you can spend being immortal from like 18% to 25%. It's not exactly an underpowered ability right now

i know its a big idea but here this, imagine a public mine, so a mine that anyone can go to and mine together, it sounds op, but you could make it so you have to find things bring them back and get paid for it.

I think it would have been better, if this cave had been divided into sections, to go to the next section with resources, it would have been necessary to clear it from a pile of aliens.

ripe axle Sep 22, 2018, 12:02 PM

#

Issue with big cave as you said is the amount of implementations and complex networking necessary. Especially if it was to be a dedicated server instead of peer to peer.

#

For fighting aliens prespawned in rooms, having too many would be a serious burden on the engine so it'd mainly be pitifulish numbers

teal marsh Sep 22, 2018, 12:03 PM

#

Does it ever reset? What happens if the whole cave gets C4'd or Driller'd

ripe axle Sep 22, 2018, 12:05 PM

#

Or if people mine out everywhere near so it'd take a long time to get anything

#

I was imagining hardrock at the base and tunnels that open and close to represent new areas being generated every few minutes

teal marsh Sep 22, 2018, 12:06 PM

#

Honestly seems a bit out of scope of the game, for now at least

#

Quite a departure from the mission-based gameplay

ripe axle Sep 22, 2018, 12:06 PM

#

Especially because of the networking

#

But it's essentially a hub area

#

And the gates are missions

#

Just really smooth transitions between the two lol

teal marsh Sep 22, 2018, 12:06 PM

If anything became a hub, it'd probably be the Space Rig

Just throwing my 2c in here. I'm not really sure why dancing and drinking costs actual credits. I get the realism aspect, but they don't do anything but add to "wasting time". There's no "benefit" to doing them other than fun. So why make it cost actual money and resources that you use to level up, and then have to go get more just to mess around?

compact sedge Sep 22, 2018, 1:59 PM

#

it...doesn't cost that much money though]

gusty tree Sep 22, 2018, 2:03 PM

#

Ehh. Relative to what is much. 25 to 135 credits adds up. And it doesn’t “Do” anything such as give you some sort of benefit for doing it other than it’s just fun. So you are spending your credits and resources that you need to progress on things to just play around in the game. Realism, absolutely. But should you need it in the game? IMO no.

whole carbon Sep 22, 2018, 2:08 PM

#

I personally dont really mind it all much because the credits build up after awhile

gusty tree Sep 22, 2018, 2:10 PM

#

No disagreement if you’ve been@playing for a long time. But for on and off gameplay it doesn’t make much sense. Especially if they have no use outside of “fun”. I’m mid game with low credits due to still leveling everything up. End game sure. Makes no diff to you guys.

plucky olive Sep 22, 2018, 2:18 PM

#

Be patient.

smoky trout Sep 22, 2018, 2:28 PM

#

It's the minerals that take the most saving up, unless you are grinding credits for cosmetics. So honestly spending credits on drinks doesn't take resources away from anything. All the functional upgrades are cheaper than anything else in the game, and the perk system you'll be spending the most time doesn't use resources at all. Everything in the game is used for fun... that's the point of a game

having 8 come out at once during a hazard 3 with only 2 people isn't great

Chat "channels" like in an mmorpg. Make it possible to talk only with your friends in a game or whisper to one member.

I'm playing this game to chill, not to have a complicated chat with many options when i have to communicate fast. And if i want to talk with my friends, i have steam for that.

I don't mean across games, in the same squad of four people

So if you're playing with two friends and want to say something personal you can without having to alt tab or confuse a random player

plucky olive Sep 22, 2018, 9:45 PM

Then, to talk with your friends, you can just use steam chats, or grouped steam chats.

i searched and havent seen this yet, but what about randomly coming across boss fights? the bosses would be area specific, so fungus bog would have a centipede boss, the glacial would have a yeti, etc. Their moves could have 1 move that is always set, and the other move would choose between 3 to use for that fight, so every time you fight them its a different move set. the reward is that you would get a part of the boss. these parts could be used at the abyss bar, and there would be a different type of drink for each boss. the drinks would have effects that relate to the boss, such as the radioactive boss drink would show where the radioactive crystals are effecting, the glacial boss drink would make your temp fall slower, etc.

smoky trout Sep 23, 2018, 3:38 AM

Mactera just need their health nerfed. If they need to be balanced in other ways spawn them with more glyphids, but their health should definitely be nerfed. Just because less of them spawn doesn't justify them being bullet sponges. It's especially problematic because many of the weapons are unviable against them: flamethrower doesn't reach them, pistol doesn't do enough damage, shotgun and sawnoff have spread, grenade launcher has no hope of hitting them

past abyss Sep 23, 2018, 5:00 AM

true but they made them even stronger than they originally were (health wise anyways, since the projectile damage was never increased back)

Breakpoints perhaps

past abyss Sep 23, 2018, 5:14 AM

#

define breakpoints

smoky trout Sep 23, 2018, 5:15 AM

#

The point at which a scaled number feels different in gameplay due to being experienced in discrete chunks

#

For instance a glyphid warrior with 90 health feels twice as strong as a glyphid warrior with 60 health because you can't oneshot it with a headshot from a shotgun etc

past abyss Sep 23, 2018, 5:16 AM

#

But you could say the same for the opposite when they brought it down to 180 - players (or most likely, the devs did arbitrarily) thought it became too easy, hence why it went back up

smoky trout Sep 23, 2018, 5:16 AM

#

Also, it could have been incrased from 180 to 210 because the developer wanted neat numbers...

Increasing a number by one sixth is even, increasing by one ninth is not

past abyss Sep 23, 2018, 5:18 AM

#

I mean to be fair, they did nerf the crap out of the projectile speed, so maybe they felt that since they were already planning on doing that, they had to compensate in another way

smoky trout Sep 23, 2018, 5:18 AM

That's what I was also about to say

Spawn are definitely far less deadly than Acidspitters

They're not so much annoying as just... grindy

past abyss Sep 23, 2018, 5:19 AM

#

right

#

since the projectile was nerfed, it's just tedious

#

whereas when they only nerfed it the first time, it felt like a good balance between annoying and tedious

(my memory isn't the best, but I thought they nerfed the projectile speed twice)

it does seem rather strange

smoky trout Sep 23, 2018, 5:22 AM

#

I understand it's because they spawn less, it makes them sort of "elite" monsters

#

But the degree at which they have increased health is just insane

past abyss Sep 23, 2018, 5:23 AM

#

right

#

I mean they're already moreso the elite monsters since they fly (faster speed and a direct path to you at all times), and mactera grabbers are just an onslaught of torment

i have an idea for a new item for the scout a sugar cube jar allowing the Scout to collect red sugar and make then into cubes for team mates who just got downed or for later use because i always see the scout as a medic. the ability to rush too a team mate and get them up and there will be two upgrades one too boost it from 3 cubes to 4 and the other one boosts the healing from 33% too 50% and the jar can't be refilled at a ammo resupply. What do you think

mild jackal Sep 23, 2018, 6:43 PM

#

so like scouts get to collect red sugar when they're topped up and when they collect like 50 health worth they get a cube that lets them revive teammates with more health?

amber rune Sep 23, 2018, 6:46 PM

#

when they are revived he can thown a sugar cube too top them up

or for him self

he starts with none and has too collect it on site and it will take up the flare gun slot

Why would you force bosco digging ? How would bosco stop mining? Will it be mining in line ?

polar tide Sep 23, 2018, 10:06 PM

Reasons for that: 1) When you play without shields in radioactive biomes to break cristalls. 2) To make holes in the wall between rooms, while you are mining resources. 3) Make holes in high walls for scout input (to take fossil or bolo-cap).

Suggestion: Can the areas we need to stay in during salvage missions not be like 2 inches in diameter? Seriously, they're so damn small. And don't even get me started on trying to do salvage missions in the lava zone.

I saw it before but i found it interesting, put some red line at the limits of explored caves to show the places we didn't explored

random copper Sep 23, 2018, 11:19 PM

#

Another suggestion: Can we get an expanded tutorial, or perhaps a series of tutorial levels, to explain the deeper mechanics of the game? Like doing secondary objectives, class synergies (like engineer + scout), and not calling the drop pod as soon as you've completed the main objective?
I get new players are going to be less skilled, but it gets annoying after a while of level 5-10's STILL calling the drop pod as soon as the main objective is done, and completely ignoring secondary objectives...

#

I mean the loading tips do some of that to an extent, but it could be improved...

ripe iris Sep 24, 2018, 3:35 AM

#

As for my own suggestion, I see a common thing seems to be giving the scout a "Medic" subclass, but I had a different thing in mind
The game's longer levels truly feel like an expedition, especially with friends. Instead of a generic "Healer" subclass, why not give the scout something like:
"Coordinated Area of Management Position-3r"
-A bosco type prototype that sets up a campfire in any environment!
-Dwarves can sit around the campfire for passive health regen.
-The fire is temporary, so going back for free heals isn't possible

In essence create a tool that helps with not only some of the environments of the game, but adds an immersive downtime where you can hunker down before or after a swarm, or set up a rendevouz point in those areas where everyone sort of darts in a different direction

The only level I see this being redundant is point extraction, but I feel like theres a lot of potential with this kind of tool. You could even have the dwarves talk to eachother, or shout quips, similar to the beggining of the levels

Suggestion:

When you reload any of the weapons (except for the minigun of course), the sound effects currently do not sync up with if the gun is actually reloaded or not. I don't know if anyone else does this, but it's a habit to "confirm" that a weapon is actually reloaded via auditory feedback, rather than looking at the clip size. This delay is the most obvious on the Scout's primary weapon and the Engineer's shotgun. Would be nice if, once you heard the final "click" noise of the reload, that would be the exact frame that the weapon actually finishes reloading. There have been many times where I habitually switch away from my reloading weapon before it's actually reloaded because I'm reacting to the reload sound making the gun appear to be finished reloading when it's actually not.

It's a small thing, but I think it would make all the difference in the world when reloading your weapons.

Mm, I certainly agree with some of the audio and even visual reload times being off, personally the gunners zipline reload has thrown me off a few times. I don't know what could be done for a lot of the weapons besides adding an extra click or hiss when appropriate.

#

This is the Healer, basically a medic class

#

📎 DeepRock2.jpg

modest nova Sep 24, 2018, 5:55 AM

#

It's on the "And then maybe" list

#

The devs even said that they were going to wait and see what happens when the weapon update drops

random copper Sep 24, 2018, 5:56 AM

#

Weapons:
Shock rifle, moderate damage, high accuracy, and slows targets hit like the Scout's grenades.

Medicine-globber, shoots globs of medicine to heal allies. In solo, can also shoot it at the ground to heal yourself. Has low ammo.

Red Sugar Container, allows you to store some Red Sugar for later!

And finally, the Red Rock Injector, injects a potent booze into an ally to give them a temporary damage and damage reduction buff. Maybe like, 5 charges max, each lasting 10 seconds.

#

Shock Rifle would have a LOT of ammo since it's your only way of dealing damage outside of melee attacks.

#

Oh, and the Healer's grenades would release a cloud like a Praetorian does, but it'd damage enemies over time.

#

Instead of allies... Although maybe it could also hurt allies.

#

Flares would be a Green color.

#

(Also side thought, the Healer could have a little "E.M.D." written on one of his shoulder pads... Emergency Medical Dwarf...)

#

His starting cosmetics would be the cap (uniform color), a new cosmetic that's a medical mask, no beard, mutton chop sideburns, and the white hair color

#

Idk what eyebrows, I don't really care lol

Anyways that's all, sorry to fill up the chat!

If Molly auto calculates a route at the start of extraction could we get some measure under the countdown timer for distance molly has to go? Would give a good indication of progress molly is making or even route changes if the distance left to go jumps

#

And just to be explicit I'm talking about ground travel distance, so even if the pod is 50m away in a straight line (through walls) if Molly's route takes 100m then the value would display 100.

random copper Sep 24, 2018, 2:39 PM

Speaking of Molly returning to the pod, I had a game recently where we ran out of time before Molly even got back. She was a good 80m away from the pod at the 10 second countdown. Apparently if Molly doesn't make it, the game just triggers the "The MULE has docked, initiating liftoff" dialogue and opens the gates at 10 seconds left.

#

Was really funny, actually.

#

Would be great if there was some rare and humorous dialogue for that exact situation.

#

"Uhhh, well, er, the MULE hasn't docked, but we just... We can't wait any longer, so uh.... Mission complete! Good job! Opening the drop pod, get on board!"

ripe axle Sep 24, 2018, 3:30 PM

These minor balances and tweaks seem to take forever to come and when they do arrive they often make it unbalanced in the opposite way.

Hello <@&257786783666929665> s!

Friend of mine @sharp ridge recommended me to the game, and it's really great so far! But i hope you guys take it like constructive criticism, the progression feels dull as it is now, i mean upgrades just increase ammo, duration etc. etc. Just stats. But nothing extra on the side, why we can't add third or even fourth barrel to a shotgun? Why we can't make minigun to have a smart aim? Why we can't have drone-like turrets? Why we can't have upgrades, which are game changing?

The gameplay is A TON of fun, the game itself have a lot of potential, but when i go mining, i don't see any specific goal i want to achive, because every upgrade just increase stat's and nothing more. Also skill tree is basicaly the same thing, do thing's faster, do them efficiently, but that's it. I mean after you get maximum level, you should feel stronger, i mean you certainly doo, but just slightly, you don't feel like much of an improvement, you just have faster reload, faster movement, or mining, that's it. Which i think is real shame, you are on a space-station with technology of travel across the galaxy to mine materials, but you can't upgrade your weapons in crazy science-fiction ways?

So i was thinking, why with a weapons, we don't have upgrades like i said? Or why we can't have 3D printer to print new blueprints for them? Like attachment system?

For a skill tree, why not to include three more or so? One would be mutation (Changess your apperance and your basic functions, but tends to be untable), Psyonic Syringies - Give you some telekinesis or awarness power (X-Ray, Kinetic Push, Levitation etc. etc.) and finaly, Cybernetics - Automatic Ammo reloading, artificial lungs, Night Vision, Targeting system, etc. etc.

There is so many you can do because you are not limited by science in this case.

#

Also one side note, why Turrets are made so depowered? I mean you build them, and then have to wait when they move and build them again? Why they aren't builded up when you move them? I find it unecessary to be honest, but that's propably just me.

Thank you! Sorry for my english and have a nice day! - Also really sorry for the wall of text!

tiny stone Sep 25, 2018, 9:17 AM

#

Yeah it definetly is! I already have ton's of waves and did a lot of diging! But i still would love to have feeling of focusing on upgrades, rather then go "Oh i can upgrade this? Okay then, let's back to mine" I rather go like "I FINALY CAN GET THIS UPGRADE! HECK YEAH!" I mean this should be the very reasson why the upgrades should be in the game, to motivate gamers to progress, and alter the gameplay to their own preference. But i totaly agree the survival is the best part of it!

@tiny stone we always take every message as constructive criticism and we deeply appreciate community feedback. In many times is the community support that keep us going and help us make the game better for everyone :)
We've been discussing deeper progressions systems, and if you check our roadmap you can see that this is a subject we are eager to tackle. Of course systems like these take a lot of planning, time, art and code. They are on itself a challenge to build

smoky trout Sep 25, 2018, 9:23 AM

I'm not trying to take anything away from your suggestion, but a tip for moving your sentries is recalling them first by holding R, then they will be ready for instant deplpyment when you next need them. It sort of factors in as part of the engineer's resource management

But i belive you guys pull's it off, no matter when! Take your time to make best game you guys want! I just wanted to put my thoughts out, what i found little, unintresting so far, otherwise the main part (Survival and mining) is amazing, and you handled procedural generation well! Which is super hard to do! So thank you for the response! And i hope i can look for better and more impactful skills/upgrades in the future!

smoky trout Sep 25, 2018, 9:26 AM

#

When you attempt to build a turret when 2 are deployed, one packs up and redeploys. Which one that is is determined by which is selected but it's not visible on the gui

tiny stone Sep 25, 2018, 9:26 AM

#

In situation where you need them quick, you rather take shotgun and fire as much as you can. Because if you don't have build upgrade yet, it won't make you any favours.

smoky trout Sep 25, 2018, 9:27 AM

I live by a motto with engineer: if you're finished with it, pack it up

tiny stone Sep 25, 2018, 9:28 AM

Still if they are packed, it takes long time to build them, i just wish they could be used more for regular situations, not just waves (Maybe drone upgrade instead of turrets? Or smaller but compact turrets?)

sharp ridge Sep 25, 2018, 9:45 AM

#

If I could have one suggestion, it would be to make fights/waves memorable, not just mindless shooting but more tactical, which it is by some part. And you are already introducing more monsters with various abilities to mix it up which is great. It would be nice to have more different enemies with very distinct attack patterns so you would have to think or position yourself more carefully and make fight and survival more memorable. For example look at how Killing Floor 2 does waves and enemies. They have nice mix of monsters and it creates interesting and new situations where certain monsters meet up and you need to change your approach. Same with Diablo, some monsters have special attack patterns and also how they move when attack that they force players to position differently or adapt quickly. Like charging monsters or AOE effect monsters. Or let's say there would be a monster that would hate fire so it would get enraged into another state or there would be a monster that would pick on certain classes and only go after them first.

Also some affixes for monster would be nice, like avenger for example, that it would go after a person who killed his friend monster or etc. Or let's say a monster that wakes up by noise, too much machinegun fire or drilling and it comes at you. Just make it less predictable is what I mean. You have your trash monsters to fill the gaps but then you add some specials on top to make it memorable and when you survive that fight it fells great. I mean really look at KF2, when Fleshpound or few Scrakes come at you at the wrong time you can feel the fear in every player :)

But I must say you already have some similar examples in place. Keep up the good work, I have great time.

@sharp ridge "In this update, we will also introduce more Difficulty Levels to bring both easier and much harder challenges to the game. We'll also expand on our internal tools and systems, so difficulty adjustments can be made using more parameters than now - currently Difficulty is mostly governed by tweaking just Damage and Health, and we want to expand on that."

Here's a couple upgrade ideas.
An upgrade for the minigun which changes it to have one barrel visually. It's damage would be much higher than the regular minigun (to a point where it's better DPS wise if you can hit all your shots) it's fire rate would be lowered considerably as well as it now having a clip size of 25 with a reload time of 2.5 seconds. It's accuracy would start out high with it slowly becoming inaccurate more and more with the longer it's fired for. (Just an upgrade idea to reward a more accurate playstyle while punishing The spray and pray playstyle.)
An upgrade for flares that decreases the amount of time it takes for them to charge (please I neeeed this one)
An upgrade for the scout classes flares, this upgrade highlights hazzards in a given area. (Hazards include but are not limited to- green goo, hotter areas in the volcano biome, ect.) However will not highlight any enemies (accept cave leaches. Fuck those things)
An upgrade for the blasting charges, making the blast much larger, deal minimal or no damage, and not damaging the land around it's blast or in it. What it does instead- is destroy hazzards or neutralize them if they can't be destroyed.

Suggestion:
What if the scanners of the spacerig found a new Biome with extreme high amounts of morkite, and Umanite,
but it's no normal biome! It's a biome on the surface of the Planet where you need Oxygen Tanks and a space suit to survive. The oxygen tanks only have a limited time before you die of to less oxygen.Asteroids crashed in this place and are full of Umanite/Morkite.

#

please vote (maybe it's an update soon) would be nice! And sorry for misspelled words , I'm german.

I have a new idea for a creature that could be a sort of cross between the macteras and the glyphids.

Creature: Hivemind
This creature is directly inspired by some of the concept art that was released yesterday in the tweets. These creatures would be small roach like bugs, about the size of the smallest glyphids. These creatures would naturally be attracted to any form of crystal/mineral in the area. They would latch themselves onto the crystal, and slowly begin to use its energy to produce more roaches. If the creature got too big, and was unkempt for too long, it would develop a massive boss version of the roaches.

dim reef Sep 25, 2018, 2:07 PM

#

I like that idea

#

It gives a sort of stress and time based enemy to the game

#

So another bomber like enemy

granite yoke Sep 25, 2018, 2:08 PM

#

I think it could also devour the crystal it inhabits over time. So if you don’t destroy them, no crystal - no money - no beer 😦

dim reef Sep 25, 2018, 2:09 PM

#

Would these enemies spawn and then latch onto the crystal? Or just be latched on to the crystal as they spawn

granite yoke Sep 25, 2018, 2:09 PM

#

I think they’d spawn, then go to the crystal.

dim reef Sep 25, 2018, 2:09 PM

#

Ye

granite yoke Sep 25, 2018, 2:10 PM

#

While they’re latched on, it should produce protector versions of the roaches, they probably should be as weak as the smallest glyphid

#

They’d attack the player when they got close

dim reef Sep 25, 2018, 2:11 PM

What would these guys look like?

Would it look like the one in the tweet, or something different?

Ok, i have made list with some perk changes to make them more OP, lel. Most ideas were taken from payday game.

#

-Field medic: Revive teammates 30% faster. Shouting at teammate in 20m radius will instantly get him up. 45 sec cooldown. Upon reviving someone at close range all nearby enemies will flee.

#

-Resupplier: Stock up on ammo 40% faster. After getting supplies you get infinite ammo without reloading for 10 seconds. This does not apply to any explosives.

#

-Weekend athlete: you sprint 15% faster. You can sprint to any direction. You can shoot while sprinting. Does not apply to drillers flamethrower, drills and gunners minigun.

#

-Strong back: you move 30% faster with heavy objects. You wont lose object if fall from high ground

#

-Sweet tooth: You get 20% more health from red sugar. Teammates heals 10% of health that you gain from consuming

#

-Impact compensators: You get 15% less fall damage. You also jump 20% higher

#

-Berzerker: upon sucsessful melee attack you get 50% melee damage boost. This can stack up to 5 times. Resets in 2 seconds

#

-Hightened senses: You feel a tingling sensation 0.2 seconds after a cave leech targets you and when exploder within your 10 meters range

#

-It's a bug thing: Bugs explode whenever you get within 4m of them and when you mark them with marker. Bugs killed by you drop 20% more goods

#

-Iron will: You can continue to fight for 12 seconds after reaching 0 health. You also get infinite ammo without reloading or overheating while under that effect. This does not apply to any explosives. You cannot use any healing items.

foggy tree Sep 25, 2018, 11:47 PM

#

yeah these are pretty OP

#

i specifically want the devs to be careful about perks that replace gamesense, like that version of heightened senses. I like the way it is now, but if it warned you of exploders too that would make it a bit too easy imo

So as it stands only the scout and his flare gun can light up hard to reach areas of caves. What do y’all think of the engineers turrets orienting their light to where you point the scanner? This would allow teams with no scouts to have some visibility without making the scout obsolete.

last wasp Sep 26, 2018, 12:02 AM

#

I'd prefer reverting the flashlight/flare nerfs TBH. As is flaregun seems dimmer than before, and there's larger caves

ripe axle Sep 26, 2018, 12:03 AM

#

Floodlight replacement for engie as well as targeting and lighting with scanner is a pretty common suggestion

spring quiver Sep 26, 2018, 12:04 AM

#

That could be the alternate load out for the engineer. Instead of 2 turrets, 1 floodlight and 1 turret.

Leaf lovers is a drink for everyone, it sobers you up for inspection. Just make sure you chuck the pint through the hoop to avoid being caught with it.

#

Though having more voicelines for ordering drinks would be funny. Like if you order skullcrusher ale as a scout he'll make a side note that this round will be the death of them.

When you order leaf lovers one line sound urgent like management is coming soon.

A faster reload upgrade for Scouts assault rifle

strong ether Sep 26, 2018, 8:45 AM

@fallow trout My idea for the Elite Resupplier was to add +20% or +30% more ammo/heal recovered. You usually use the Drop Pod after waves or during calm moment, you would waste that "infinite" ability often.

Also the Elite Perk (with additional bonus) could have a Star icon instead of numbers 😉

Change the Satchel Charge and Grenade's 'Damage Radius' number to an actual distance (i.e. metres), instead of some ambiguous unit of measure.

Im really loving this game. Ive logged 17 hours so far and I'm starting to figure out cave structure pretty easily.

I suppose my suggestion to keep this fresh for longer would be a few more biome types if thats feasible. Like:
Ash caves. A planet of mostly carbon, lightly packed together was once a verdant jungle planet. the whole thing went up in flames, turning the world to ash. The caves you are in is what remains of the jungle. Water swept tunnels away, exposign valuable Morkite and Gold (etc.) Would function similar to sandblasted corridors (which I love), but there are pockets of poisonous gas, and cave collapses (if thats possible, that would be rad).

Jelly caves: Sounds silly I know, but if you found a material similar to a dense opaque jello and had caves in it that'd be cool. Its not realistic but its a game so lets put some silly stuff in here! It can be various colors so your cave can be dark or light colored and varying levels of opacity similar to ice caves. Its soft texture would lessen fall damage, or maybe slow movement speed.

Glass caves: Like sandblasted corridors, but after the nearby sun exploded.... So the superheated wave caused the planet to glass over. There are dangerously unstable stalactites that can fall on your head, and hazardously shard rocks that damage players who land or run on them. But water and friction smoothed most of it down. I know whater cant be in the game, but like im trying to explain it.

And how abouts some different cave shapes? Like tall straight narrow ravines, which is actually pretty common in caves. No real flat walkway on the bottom makes it difficult to traverse, but the witty (team-work minded) dwarf can navigate the walls in a few ways. What about lots of narrow passages that act like a spiderweb. Use of the terrain scanner would be much more important.

Pockets of ignitable poisonous gases! Flamethrower would make them explode and damage anything inside/near them?

Can I request that flares should lose their color and fade into darkness when they actually stop producing light? I find it a bit annoying that flares are everywhere, with their full color but actually produce zero light later on.

I think some more unique ways of obtaining resources could be fun.
Like fall from a height to squish an object shooting out a resource or something attached to the wall. Remove it by grabbing it, pulling it backwards and letting go causing it to smash into the wall breaking the mineral inside from the outer shell. Stupid ideas but felt like sharing them

shell trail Sep 27, 2018, 2:49 AM

#

Would like to see a class that can place a special pylon that serves the following functions:

Permanent
Visible waypoint in the 3d terrain viewer
Provides light in a fairly large radius, but not as great for seeing all the ceiling in large caverns
Recharges player shield slowly in a small radius around it, even in combat
Regulates temperature a slight bit
Possibly give players a little pathing line on the 3d terrain scanner to find their way back to it

The class should only get a handful of these (maybe 3 at max) and obviously the benefits would have to be tweaked to be balanced. Basically it would be a more defensive waypointing/support item.

#

And I'm sure someone has suggested a large, slow-firing bolt-action rifle that has a tiny bit of armor pierce, so I'll +1 that

So im new and im not sure of any where else to post this so I suppose this is a question/suggestion.Will we be getting some more arcane tools, say and tesla turret for the engineer or mining laser or will it be more variation on bullet weapons.

To answer Johnny maybe its how you worded ot but the game takes place on one planet not multiple

Which is hoxxes 4

#

Yeah, his ideas sound amazing though. The jelly caves and Ash caves sound good. Maybe a region that used to be a part of the sandblasted corridors got hit by a energy burst causing it to superheat a large area?

fervent junco Sep 27, 2018, 9:32 AM

#

Another experimental build for bug/play testing that lets you spawn enemies and weapons, ppl that can replicate bugs or prove things like 'engi is really weak and needs dmg buff' in a control setting gets creds/ minerals in main game. Similar to that when you join the steam group and get 5k creds for doing practically nothing.

#

Can also be used to give furtur depth to wiki pages, for instance the Hoxxes page about Biomes is pretty much mostly flavor text, if players are able to use an experimental dev build to generate maps and lengths, it would give the page a bit more depth.

#

For instance I notice that on higher hazards, pits are spawned more often however, theres no way to confirm this and hence just like the Aquas spawn mobs when deposited idea, its pretty much a rumor or just though to be a fact.

#

e.g. 'The Crystalline Caverns are notable for their vast open chamber' - wiki Add than screenshots of speical obstacles that spawn on higher difficulties. morkite locations on longer missons etc, i also notice that on the sandblasted corridors, minerals tend to spawn in a very high place, again, since theres no exp build where players can just explore fly around, take screenshots in a fully lit area without the threat of failing missions and wasting time its all pretty much just speculation.

fervent junco Sep 27, 2018, 10:03 AM

ripe axle Sep 27, 2018, 12:37 PM

#

I assume he's poking fun at the "blasting ideas out of my arse" part. If you post a suggestions document there's a good chance the devs will see it, and even if they don't I'll read it if you post it here

#

For the pylon idea this is a class suggestion based off half if not quarter of the elements to make a class. I'd prefer if it replaced a damage item like one of engie's turrets. That said, I'd much prefer player created waypoints show up on the map instead of having a convoluted deployable to mark where you've been.

#

One of the reasons we suggest looking for your idea is looking for existing criticisms of it, the slow "bolt action" or sniper suggestions have been criticized already, and I don't intent to support those suggestions until I see one that deals with the problems I've brought up

#

For the style of weapons I believe the devs at some point mentioned wanting a "steampunk" feel to the game

#

I'd like a better testing build but I also assume that it'll come with time (we just got rotate missions button last experimental build).

Even without the ability to spawn each mob values and testing can be done. If you want to observe the spawn structure of caves the "tourist mode" looks to be arriving soon on the roadmap, that will likely let you wander around as you please.

#

If you want to fly around use ansel :)

fervent junco Sep 27, 2018, 1:01 PM

#

Well I agree about testing, its just not that efficient, Im quite sure the devs dont just wait around for 5 mins for a mob to spawn to test the pratical effects of the new flamethrower. As for the ''Tourist mode'' whether it helps as a tool or is just a nice extras feature is yet to be seen, but its unlikely to be more of a tool than it is a neat little feature that gives the game some extra value. After all, the main draw of the game is its Coop gameplay and class synergy, Hazard 1 areas with base reward +25% where there is almost no threat, where good ole dwarfs go for a nice stroll in the caves don't seem particularly popular. So a Hazard 0 with no bonus on top of having no rewards? I'm skeptical. It could be a wasted feature. Same thing can be said for the Ansel if it is to be used as a learning tool. Using Ansel to learn is like editing videos using FLV, or reconing an outpost in Shadow of War/ Modor using its game capture feature. It definately has it limits and im definately sure testers or in house QA is going to be using any of these mumbo jumbos.

#

Thats why data mining exist.

#

Whoops just contradicted myself 😦

You could get rid of the flare afterglow because the fancy new 3D terrain map shows where you have been in the cave

fervent junco Sep 27, 2018, 2:57 PM

#

Acutally a bolt action is fine, if you think of engineer as a combat support class that is. Sure it dosent fit what the devs want, but its definately an alt playstyle.

#

If the GL for engi is a cc, Anti Boss, slow reload, than let the bolt action be say a rail gun with a tesla core that is a purely an anti-boss at the expxense of losing all of its cc capabilities. As for the we're in a cave argument, it seems than that the dev should remove ranged enemies that snip altogether like the webbers an mactera spawns. The bolt action/ charged tesla can easily take care of these enemies... at the expense of cc capabilities. Along that line of though, a flak cannon would also be an alt, being a cc wep which is unable to penetrate armor or snip bosses but can take out mobs at close range. Just saying. Im not a dev.

smoky trout Sep 27, 2018, 3:04 PM

#

To have an anti-boss weapon... first you need some bosses 🤔

fervent junco Sep 27, 2018, 3:12 PM

#

... Also, unlike the gunner or Driller... the wep is a secondary, its not the primary and there is an ammo limit, also, everyone already has grenades. The only thing special about the GL is its range and explosion on contact

Close to 200 hours, you guys should plan a new set of cave room at some point. Some tend to get repetitive, weirdly for me, especially this one at the start.

I don't know what's your workload to make some, but if you can discipline yourself to add a bunch of new ones each updates it could be very benefit at long term and a very good addition in changelog.

Hey, got to the game and to translating again soo Polish language is work in progress again! But let's get to the two suggestion i have(Small ones):

Give option to buy 5 resources at depo while holding Shift key so shift + Click give you five resources - just small change but for some people like me it's pretty standard.
This one is bigger - when you get flamethrower upgrade Sticky Flames(napalm) add secondary shot to the flamethrower so if initialy you burst some flame in the direction of bugs and the flame should fall to the ground the same way as napalm is working becouse right now it's hard to make wall of fire easly :3 And this would deffinetly make Digger expirience in it's current state alot better!

Black Market Bosco

Difficulty: Hard - Extreme

Purpose: Pub matches where there may be gaps in team synergy (e.g. a missing scout) and communication

Description - When lone miners lose their lifes, they leave their Boscos behind. This is the product of an engineer's ingenuity when he comes across one on a salvage operation mission.

Abilities and stats - The BMB unlike sentry guns is deployed instantly. while deployed it passively drains energy over time. The BMB has the firepower of a single sentry and its offensive capabilities can be toggled. It cannot be placed at a strategic location and provide Dwarfs with supporting fire, however, just like the original, it follows a Dwarf around but at the Engi's command.

Usage - Whenever the player has no use for BMB they should recall it. In combat, the BMB should be sent to protect the team's frontliner and boost offense using crtl lmb -> teammate. The BMB consumes energy when it mines, energy that it also uses as its ammunition so mining using BMB should be a last resort. The BMB's strongest ability is to act as a Dwarf's guardian, when a scout grapples to higher places to mine and cannot be easily defended, the engi can defend the scout with the BMB. The Bmb has half the dmg output of sentries but never needs reloading and follows dawarfs around, hence it favors a very mobile playstyle often seen on higher difficulties where players holding their ground with double sentries can still get overwhelmed by numbers.

Weapon/Equipment themes

Science and Technology - Fueled by minerals brought about from the relentless treacherous expeditions initiated by Deep Rock Galatic and its attempted subjugation of HOXXES IV. Deep Rock Galatic has by accident brought about the golden age of science and technology in all the wrong directions. Rumors about the production of mysterious, devastating energy weponries have begun to surface and that any Dwarf can get their hands on one of these prototypes... so long as the price is right.

Gameplay effect: Weapons that do not require reloading. The reload function is instead replaced with an alt fire ability.

Iron and Steel - More accurately: Titanium and Space alloys. It is known throughout history that Dwarfs are the best blacksmiths there is. Even though munitions and arms are no longer crafted by hand but by machines, nothing escapes the keen eye of the brilliant dwarven engineers. If one ever receives a faulty product, or one that differs slightly from its image in the commercials, from even the lowest corporation than it probably means that the executives who works there don't like you very much.

Gameplay effect: All rounded weapons, aka jack of all trades (so it seems).

#

Arcane Magic - If you believe in Dwarfs than you believe in Magic. Surprisingly, so do the dwarfs! Unfortunately magic is mostly used only for the most trivial of task. Dwavern magic has fallen so far that the most impressive spell cast in recent memories was one cast a 100 years ago and the only reason why dwarfs even know about it is cause' they were forced to learn it in school. Fortunately dwarvern scientists have been able to compartmentalise magic and its effects. The end result... is highly confidential...

Gameplay effect: Quirky weapons with special abilities that cannot be explained using science like the ability to self immolate or create mirage decoys that plays off the dwarf's charm. e.g Instead of 'Im not scared of you' or 'Eat Lead!' you get 'Adva..cade ahhhh!!! Burn in hell monster!'

Design: The Dwarf cast minimal magic which is than amplified or emulated by the weapon he wields which mostly serves as a catalyst. The weapons look nothing like a wizard's staff.

fervent junco Sep 28, 2018, 9:10 AM

Well actually how you can regen hp from melee kills isnt really explained either, anyways these 'flavor text' is mostly there to provide some sort of justification for gamey weapons or perks that make no sense. The plaform gun that is in DRG is one such example I guess.

Magic? Pointy-Eared leaf-lover!!!

fervent junco Sep 28, 2018, 10:42 AM

Lore excuses + Gameplay Example:

Immolating Fist (Driller)

Purpose - CC alt, Projectile, AOE, Versatile

Description - Named after a super move by a F list superhero known only to the creator who gave this devastating weapon its awful name. The IF is a weapon with zero practical value in an armed conflict. Shortly after the weapon was made... the creator was fired... and than hired by DRG to mass produce this sweet bad boy (bad elfs according to its creator). The IF is the standard issue magic weapon of all Drillers. By casting a simple magic spark, Drillers are able to conjure giant balls of flame that explode on contact, however, these fireballs rapidly lose their magic essence and hence their size and power over distance.

Usage - Hold LMB to charge the fireball. Press LMB to shoot minifireballs. R to reload to instantly replenish focus.

Lore, Design flavor text - The artifical catalyst and emulation/replication devices of most magic weapons do not seem to degrate over time, unlike the energy cores/packs of energy weapons. Wonder what those Dwarfs could be possibly taking from the resupply pods... they dont seem to be drinking mana sap... MORKITE ALE!!!????

#

So basically in this example, as a joke Dwarfs drink ale to replnish their 'buzz' to cast sparks in quick succession, but since its ale it gets them dizzy. Well this ale drinking thing is a joke of course.

I don't think the devs were planning for any magic in their semi futuristic space alien game

Yea I know

#

I didnt play fps games to cast magic spells either

#

But sometimes gamey weapons make 0 sense and you need some sort of justifcation for it. DRG is sci-fi with glowly jelly floating around and bugs that ingest minerals that are tough as nails to mine.

#

Like how do you exlpain Berserker? Or Vampire? Science... err nano machines?

#

Plus Dwarfs are mystical creatures kinda like Gnomes.

#

Maybe renaming Immolating Fist to fire cannon helps. All the same gameplay wise

delicate juniper Sep 28, 2018, 10:56 AM

#

well the flamethrower works well, having a long range fire weapon would be good but i think fire needs to have a slight damage reduction

#

its kinda broken since it can get rid of preytorians pretty fast

#

maybe a napalm cannon? or a molotov

fervent junco Sep 28, 2018, 11:01 AM

#

Yea basically thats also my point gameplay wise the devs are restricted to real guns in a sci fi setting full of inconsistent logical kinks I guess. And if thats the case it seriously limits the kind of discussions possible cuz well the devs can just go google real guns or real make shift fire bombs. Like and the Dwarfs do mention Elfs so we do know elfs exist.

#

Magic does exist in the world and the Dwarfs cant really cast spells I made that quite clear. They analsye magic and kinda turn it into a science.

fervent junco Sep 28, 2018, 12:46 PM

#

Yea one thing I did notice doe, the perk that lets you move faster while carrying a heavy load is kinda useless now, maybe buff it so players holding load have longer throw range as well? Or can fall longer before dropping the load. I dont use the perk so im just sayin.

#

Vets in the group if your see this message do your know what kind of sidegrade/alts are accepptable and what are not?

#

Like I know making a weapon lose serveral of its traits in favor of a few... err basically specialising weapons or unspecialising weapons is a nono and all weps must be base on real life stuff. anything else to note?

#

Actually dont think hitscan weapons are all that bad, I used to play this game called dead Trigger 2 and the weapons are surprisingly varied.

#

PD2 and DT2 has revolvers that are reloaded per bullet. The kind that you cant use speed loaders on. Err colt single action army revovlers? This makes it so the revolvers fire like revolvers but have the reload of a pump action.

#

no idea how to even come up with engi primary alt cuz you cant pick alts that have functions the other clas weapon's have.

#

i cant give engi shotgun flechette cuz now its a ranged weapon and boo thats not engi

#

i cant give dragon's breath cuz boo you took the driller's cc dmg overtime job

#

cant make it pump shotgun since ppl say the engi is always reloading

#

and since no pump shotgun, than no lever action shotgun

#

And of course no double barrel since scout has it

#

So actually thers still one alt which is.. err Slug.

#

But slug shotguns arent really shotguns. they are more like magnums but with bigger bullets.

#

So all real life shotgun ammo types are out except for the really exotic ones like shrapnel (custom) and maybe HE (explosives)

Haydensolo and JieFengChin’s Duckbill choke:

Magazine fed Combat Auto Shotgun, double barrel (top-down) single handed Shorty shotgun.

In the real world, the Duckbill choke reduces the vertical spread of shotgun fire and the result is a spread that looks like a circle being pulled from left to right. The, Duckbill choke simply alters the bullet spread pattern of a shotgun but NOT the properties of the shotgun itself.

This means that the scout and engineer's shotgun while having a wider spread that lets them deal with mobs more efficiently are ultimately just shotguns and cannot rival the effectiveness of the minigun or flamethrower when it comes to crowd control. In-game this is due to the shotgun's inherent limitations, its fire rate.

Similar to shotguns in real life modified with the duckbill choke. Even with a wider spread they lack the suppressive capabilities of an LMG and so forth.

The Magazine fed combat auto shotgun would simply be a reskin of the Warthog, with a different model/skin job the devs will be able to balance the stats of the new shotgun to its old counterpart while making it a unique gun of its own.

Same can be said for the Shorty one handed double barrel shotgun. We chose this aesthetic as it is impossible to place attachments onto double barrel shotguns. Hence, the even smaller size of the shotgun and subsequently its barrel justifies its even wider spread. Basically the Shorty has an invisible duckbill choke.

Aesthetics are just personal preferences.

These 2 new shotguns would bring about much change to the play style of the engineer and scout without drastically altering their roles in a team.

Comments and criticisms are much appreciated.

How about a flea-like alien which has a jumping attack where it would stick to players? This attack could potentially: deal damage over time when stuck to players, obscure vision and inflict a slow and be able to stack multiple "fleas" to bind a dwarf and immobilize them until they are shot or killed - similar to Mactera grabbers but the player would be held still rather than carried away. I also think that when it jumps, it could push dwarves off of zip lines because i still see a lot of people using ziplines to cheese swarms which I don't feel is fair on the bugs.

[Search Approved] Since female dwarves are definitely going to be included, I vote that we should stay far away from the usual implementation of the female of a species; that being, "sexy human with racial traits duct taped on." Not that there's anything wrong with that, per se, but it wouldn't fit the style of this game.

Female dwarves should be practically unchanged from male dwarves in terms of stature; physical differences should likely be limited to longer head hair and softer facial features. This will allow for easy reusing of existing armor types, and save a lot of work in terms of modeling and rigging. That being said, females dwarves SHOULD be distinct in lighter voices, different voice lines, and differing animations from the standard male dwarf ones.

Just enough so that there are enough differences, but also so that it's incredibly easy to that that they're still Dwarves.

Back when I played Spacelords, there was a feature called "Mentor Matches" and that is when a new player (or more) is teamed up with someone of a higher level. If the mission was successful, there would be an additional 20% exp given. Could there be something of the sort for DRG, as well?

So let's say, a class that is between 1-5 would be the trigger for this to happen

@vapid rampart Ive no idea how DRG devs, if they pick ideas they think are cool than work on it, or if they pick practical ones or ones that are balanced and considered hmm conservative? PM doe re flea aliens, like my own personal Bosco idea if its based off the original mechanica intended only for the original than implementation could get tricky. For personal Bosco its cuz Bosco is intended for single player and hence when you ping smt with no intention of having personal bosco to mine it, the Bosco will mine it. In this case, the parasite sticky aliens I assume work like cave leeches, even while grabed. the player does not have FF immunity and for a few seconds afterwards and can still get killed by teammates. So PM me. lololol or anyone who sees this.

#

So yea since the parasites are small Af, the player is going to get FFed alot, only the scout and heavy sidearm can precisely eliminate the threat, but making the parasite big makes it not a parasite or fleas which are even smaller than parasites. In alien swarm you get rid of parasites by healing by ideally you avoid them altogether. so maybe the fleas could be glass cannons? but the swarmers and nexus are already that weak. Maybe the fleas could be a status effect since fleas exist in the game already like that ... beehive thing?

#

Or maybe the fleas a biome exculsive thing that damages you like the magma floors in the magama biome.

The perks are close to but not quite equal, yet it seems the most powerful perks have the least amount of upgrades, meaning they reach full power at III or IV (Sweet Tooth, Iron Will and Revive especially) while some underpowered perks like Resupply and Depositor take five perk levels to hit their maximum

Putting this into comparison, Iron WIll takes 12 perk points to max, Resupply and Depositer take 25. Impact Compensation (Fall Damage) costs a whopping 33 perk points.

To balance them:
Iron Will jumps up in effectiveness by 2 seconds per level. That's 40% increase in base per level. Meanwhile Fall Damage only receives a 10% increase onto base per level. Perhaps Iron Will should take 5 levels and Fall Damage be the one to take 3. Or all perks could take the same amount of perk points to upgrade but they have more comparable stats.

fervent junco Sep 29, 2018, 1:34 PM

#

That said the design is to have perks have the most value at the first pump is the intended design. The way the skills tree progression works encourages players to pump a little bit into everything to either get the skills they want by progressing the skill tree. Personally the design is a mess doe. Cuz welll players arent that short sighted, its not like we can just reassign used points.

#

With the new perks and the same tree size and progression requirements, players will likely just go for 3 point perks to progress. Gettting 4 maxed perks is a pain in the ass. Devs should polish the skill tree and make their intentions clear through design. Otherwise all the comments here are just personal opnions that do not fit their vision for perks as part of the game.

#

Err... how to explain it cleanly. 1.The player pumps different perks to get the perks they want. 2. They realise they have to pump random shit to to progess the tree to get what they want. 3. They do that and pump lots of lvl 1 perks hat have the best value on first pump. 4. The devs smile cuz they want players to experiment and try different perks. -Unfortunately perk points are gold and are a pain to grind, with the new 3 point perk players just pump even more 3 point perks. Theoratically it all goes to plan. But the only way to tell if the design is working is to tell if the players are actually using the perk or if pumping is just means to an end etc. and than Hes's point

Well some people would say that unstable gaint falling shards exist. But exploding plants exist not just int eh fungus bogs but galacia as well if im not wrong. Since your collapsible tunnel isnt just some cheap reskin, its actually quite possible given how the devs designed ... err cystaline caverns? yeee one of the biomes the devs have has lots of fake entrances and exits to next area. So the collapsible tunnels could possible exist to seal off biomes with numerous fake eixts/ entrances as well as deal some dmg and confuse players on higher complexities.

Well alt costumes are always nice, and this one isnt really that insane for an alt, after all, the scout and engi's mk1 armor feats minimal padding and they look they they are just wearing plain jumpsuits anyways.

[Inspired during a discussion of more varied enemy encounters in #drg-chat ]
So I came up with the Coordinator. Compared to your average fekker, the Coordinator is extremely intelligent, and has just enough of a grasp of your average Dwarf's arsenal to know how to avoid them too.

You know a Coordinator is around when, more often than it should, swarms appear. You find your ammo running low, and even HQ knows something is up. Until someone finally sees a pair of bright yellow eyes peering at you from around a corner. The Coordinator has been sitting there, watching, and the moment you notice it, the chase is on. If you want those swarms to stop, you have to corner is somewhere, where, due to having softer flesh, it is unable to dig its way out to safety and must fight.

The idea is far from perfect, but it's a decent example of an enemy that's more than "you attack it, it attacks you"

#

While writing it, it did occur to me that rather than being, say, a Praetorian-level enemy, it might have to be something else. Say, a special warning modifier. When selecting a mission, the warning could say "Strange Audio Signals have been detected." Something like that.

half flower Sep 30, 2018, 10:58 AM

#

The coordinator look like a big problem for the team, but a great addition, like a coordinator and a dreadnought can create a serious challenge, the coordinator that inform the dreadnought of who is sneaking up from behind, stuff like that, good idea

half flower Sep 30, 2018, 12:29 PM

come up with an idea for the 5th class, the Enforcer. On a little estetic note, he have a green camo, anything else is up to debate

Primary weapon: double uzi. 300 ammo max, 60 per clip (30 each), 6 damage per bullet, 5 second reload (2 weapon need reload), rate of fire 6 or 8 something high.

Secondary weapon:napalm granade launcher it set up in fire a distant area. 10 bullet, recharge like engineer granade launcher. Duration of the flame up to 12 second with power-up, the fire damage the dwarf

Movement tool: Rope gun. 4 bullet, clip size 1, it shoot a arrow like the flare gun, can travel indefinitely but will attach to the first solid object, once attacked or will release a rope that will be going straight down for 20/25 meter (still working on it) and is climbable both way, much like a zipline but only vertical.

Last weapon: taser gun. 1 bullet per clip, 24 bullet total (or less). Damage 6, special stun for 1 sec. Rate of fire 1 shot every 1.2 second. Useful to stop mactera, dreadnought, or other nasty son of a bug added later.

Armor defence spike. Every melee attack against deal 15 damage to the attacker.

The enforcer is especially good in the crowd control, One gunner and One enforcer can probably handle ground based Force and can deal with the air unit while the other dwarf deal with ground.

Thought? Anything is debatable, and i tried to make the number the most nice looking or imagined, obviously they will need a lot of tweaking and arrangiament

@earnest ore How do you propose we create a false sense of intelliegence for the Coordinator? It does not follow the typical archetype of an aggressive AI that finds optimal flanking routes or the 'If player does this than do that' AI. The beast of Hoxxes as of now simply chase after you following invisible nodes. They are far less intelligent than the 2 AIs mentioned above, which are far less intelligent than the one you proposed. We'll have to assume that if the game creators are unable to find a solution quickly, they will deem production for this new AI costly and hence infeasible. After all, the developers can be considered Indie given their small team size despite the game's AA pricing (not quite true). However, going back to my very first point, video game AIs are about giving players a false sense of intelligence. So. If we can solve that problem by giving the Coordinator a set of straight forward tactics using a simple 'If than this', its not going to be a problem. Of course, I plan on helping you. @ripe axle Please forgive JieFengChin hes a hothead that types without thinking. He just wants to 'git gud' at theory crafting and hopefully help develop the game in the process.

@half flower The Enforcer can be considered a sub/alt class of the Gunner that specialises in crowd control, but I personally do not consider it a class of its own. They do share many similar traits after all! Firstly, a primary with an extreme fire rate (RPM is more accurate in this case, from Uzis being fired simultaneously). Secondly, you said it yourself, the ropegun is 'much like a zipline but only vertical'. Thirdly, while the napalm grenade is in the second slot, lets for a moment pretend it is in the fourth slot. Aside from one being a DOT explosive and the other being a nuke with lesser ammo. Fourthly, the taser counters semi boss/ boss bugs and the Gunner's revolver counters long range bugs that he can deal with using the minigun but causes him to expend unnecessary ammo for an accuracy boost. This means that the Enforcer and Gunner both have equipment that covers their weaknesses rather effectively. With so many similarities, how are they that much different? Btw, I assume that the Armor defence spikes are a counter measure against swarmers. 15 damage should hit the swarmer's breakpoint am I right? Is that the intended design?

#

Yes, all comments are very much appreciated.

half flower Sep 30, 2018, 2:33 PM

#

@near glacier yeah, i specifically designed it to be similar to the gunner, like i have a similar design for the explorer (alt version of scout) miner (driller) and a new engineer for which i don't have name yet. and yes, the spike are to counter the swarmer, but i believe they have 20 hp no? or, if they have less, reduce the spike damage to approx 3/4 of max swarmer life

near glacier Sep 30, 2018, 2:41 PM

JieFengChin suggest a perk of some kind that draws enemy aggro. He also assumes that the Enforcer class is balanced with Vampire, Berserker and Iron Will in mind, making the Enforcer a class that is not very oriented towards completing objectives and reviving teammates. Maybe that is what makes the class unique in its own way.

I had a sort of "idea" for a possible boss battle, however the opening of the boss battle for me is the more prominent part of the idea than the actual fight mechanics itself. So I was playing a mission the other day, and my team and I ran into one of those randomly-generated cylinder-esque sort of rooms that go way down. I thought to myself, "what if there were a boss in one of these?" Therein lies the idea for the "glyphid queen". The fundamentals behind the opening of the battle and thereafter are as follows: the ground rumbles aggresively for a short duration, afterwards mission control voices over a line indicating a pressence is showing up from below, and to stay clear of it. They send 4 "beacons" of some sort onto each corner of the spawning area with beams shooting up to indicate the Area of Effect. After a duration, a MASSIVE entity whom i will refer to as "the queen" will erupt through the ground. Now the queen would be a long boss fight, with her spawning waves upon waves of enemies that which are dependant of time taken to defeat her. Each worse than the last, up to a stage of 5, (perhaps including a meter detailing the level the fight is at as well.) First Wave: Glyphid Swarmers are birthed at once. Second Wave: Warriors and Exploders. Third: Mactera swarms. Fourth: Praetorians and Spitters. And Finally, Fifth: Dreadnought(s). The way the battle operates, or how any of this would go about would be up to your guys' creative interpretation. I primarily just loved the idea of DRG themselves aiding in a fight (via the markers to initiate the battle). Of course, this should be all taken with a grain of salt, I'm just happy to throw my idea out there.

So players would want to make the long trek down to the bottom while fighting off giant trench bugs

I posted on steam but I find this an interesting read.

#

I think weapons and armors need to be tied into the different mineral classes. Each class providing different attributes and benefits. We definitely need integration with the mineral types and the dwarven weapons and armors in some shape or form, cosmetic or beneficial.

Magnite: Fire resistences and fire damage ammunition. (Chance to add a DOT?).

Umanite: Radioactive resistences and radioactive ammunition. (Chance to add a slow down?).

Croppa: Lightning resistences and lightning ammunition (Chance to paralyze?).

This ammunition would probably need to be crafted and you can only carry so much into a mission.

As for armors, I think they should remain generally cosmetic for flair grinding but that's just me. I wouldn't be against them changing the shield / HP ratio. Maybe there are tank armors with HP bonuses and less shields, or shield armors with measly health, etc.

Weapons

Scout:

Anti Air Goo Grenade: Tired of all those fliers bugging you? Toss a blanketing grenade that spits out goo that clings to their wings and sends them on the ground. This also slows regular bugs but not as affectively as the scouts main grenade type.

#

Engineer:

Mini Boscos instead of turrets: Forget stationary turrets when you can have flying boscos shooting up the place! 50% damage compared to stationary turrets, they however can follow the engineer around AND you can also tell them to protect a friendly dwarf by hovering around them instead like a horse fly (don't you hate those?)".
Lightning grenade: Don't you have those crystals that shoot electricity? Well dwarves figured out a way to make a grende that shoots out lightning that chains across all targets up to 5!

Driller:

Bug skewing chainsaw or buzz saw: 50% less effective at drilling in earth but dishing out more damage with more fuel intake. This design is meant to melee hit oncoming critters.
Napalm aoe grenade: Instead of an explosive grenade, why not a napalm grenade that blankets at area with fire burning goodness.
A mini earth carving robot: Carrying only 3 units of these. These small little threaded vehicles are planted down, built, and sent in a straight direction to dig a hole. Great for reaching your drop pod. Warning, they explode when fuel reserves are spent.

#

Gunner:

Heavy automatic shotgun/flak cannon: Tired of a minigun and want to do close/med combat? This baby is a beast shooting pellets everywhere.
Bipod mounted minigun: A sister to his regular weapon, this minigun winds up slower but has absolute accuracy when mounted on a bipod contraption to chews everything to bits!
Zip line robot: Attach a zip line robot to a zip line and watch a dwarf move faster along it! You can also attach heavy gems and crystals onto it and watch it climb up the zip line all it's own! Note: Only one person can use it at a time if added.

I think a railgun would be cool, a precision half automatic gun with a badass design that can penetrate walls over a medium to short distance. Also, the option to aim down sights would be a really cool thing. In case of the railgun, it could be e.g. a thermal scope.

vast kestrel Oct 1, 2018, 1:47 PM

#

Just so it gets seen, I think as a novel expansion to the supporters pack perks (something the devs expressed an interest in expanding) there should be a brew exclusive to the pack owners. I'm thinking the foam on the brew should be golden to correspond with the theme and the exclusivity of the pack, and it would ideally have a fun non-gameplay harming effect that would be exclusive to this particular brew.

prime zenith Oct 1, 2018, 2:50 PM

#

I am playing DRG right now, and had a gameplay moment that gave me an idea for a suggestion. In the middle of a swarm, I shot at a Glyphid Praetorian with my minigun - and then quick-drew my revolver, shooting it right in the face crit-spot and killing it instantly. And this made me think; when gear selection is introduced, maybe there should be a machine gun that suppresses/slows down enemies, and a revolver that deals less damage to normal spots on enemies and more damage to crit spots? Those suggestions are super-duper-unoriginal, but that's kind of the point; it's a well-tried duo of weapons that can synergize well for any player with a modicum of skill (I would not call myself a skillful shooter player, but I still manage to pull off stuff like that). Admittedly, considering how massive the damage to some crit spots already is, and how massive the revolver's damage already is, maybe the "suppressor weapon plus sniper pistol" combo would work better on a Driller. Who knows.

I guess a minor thing, not really has much to do with the game itself: A discord role for people who have bought the supporter DLC. That alone would probably “promote” the dlc quite a bit and more people would find out about it and support you guys.

On the topic of calling down things besides supply drops, I think those ideas would pair well with an endless mode. I don't know if the loading times would be practical for this, but a series of small generated caverns with larger swarms as you go deeper would make a good fit with powerful call down options like a mega sentry, or a tower with some kind of area of effect (shield booster for dwarfs or slow for bugs). Struggling to make it until you have enough of a resource to call down desperately needed backup would be engaging and fun, plus rewarding nitra collection more

It would be nice if the deposit box on the drop pod was lower or flexible

sometimes it lands on a tiny spec of ground and as result the whole drill is visible and you can't deposit minerals because you can't stand on anything near it

couldn't find anyone else talking about this, could we get an indicator of team damage % at the end of a match instead or in addition to kills? I feel damage % is a better indicator of contribution in combat than just kills because of things like the dreadnaught and high health and low health enemies

Could we also get an indicator for Team Damage, as in, the amount of friendly fire the fucking blind gunner is doing to the rest of us

woven ocean Oct 3, 2018, 12:55 AM

#

so i know lots of people have suggested a medic class, i'd just like to suggest what i'd personally like to see from said class.

primary: DMR of some kind (doesnt have to have a scope mechanic, just needs to shoot far. M1 maybe?)
secondary: close range SMG (MP7/5 style weapon, even an auto pistol like a G18)
class weapon: stim gun/redsugar gun (Doc from R6 Siege for example, shoot friendly to revive from long distance/heal for 25 or 50hp, shoot self to heal (maybe even self revive??)
equipment: redsugar packs (similar to c4 charges but interact with after its thrown to heal for 50hp?)

anyway, i've just had those ideas in my head since i bought the game a long time ago and never thought to share them on here. 😃 for karl

With the addition of throwing objects we really should be able to toss things at the MULE to deposit them.

earnest ore Oct 3, 2018, 6:24 AM

#

I'm certainly well aware that a "sniper class" has been suggested before, in various forms, but I think mine is fairly well-thought out enough to be fine as a repeat suggestion.

#

Introducing:

#

Class: Ranger.

The king of long-range support, filling a niche that has yet to be filled within our dwarven lineup, both in terms of firepower and mobility.

Primary Weapon: Sniper Rifle.

A bolt-action powerhouse well known for its long range, terrifying penetration power, and sickly smell because of all the grease used in the bolt. A single-shot, low-ROF, high-power weapon that makes short work of most critters. What it lacks in crowd control, it makes up for in single-target elimination; Praetoreans and Flying Buggers fear its terrifying crack. It's special trait is the ability to penetrate otherwise invulnerable or damage-reducing armor. When zooming in, enemy weakpoints are highlighted.

Reasoning: We don't have anything similar to a sniper-type weapon yet, and despite the cave-like structure of the game, I think it works. After all, if I had a dime for every time I was in a massive cave and wish I had a long-range weapon...

Secondary Weapon: Wrist-Rockets.

If things are getting too hairy, and the feckers are swarming everywhere, the Wrist-Rockets allow the Ranger to walk away with his hide, while slightly charred, nonetheless intact. With the click of a button, a short-range explosive projectile fires from his wrist, which inaccurately spreads out and explodes on impact or after a short time. While not very effective against mobile or armored targets, small and unarmored targets are quickly rendered into a fine paste.

Reasoning: There needs to be a way for the Ranger to defend against more than just the occasional single target; particularly effective agains the smallest of swarming buggers.

#

Throwable: V-Grenade.

Burrowing into the earth when thrown, the V-Grenade begins to cause quakes at a certain frequency that the bugs find to be highly unpleasant, meaning that while active, bugs are unlikely to cross the threshold nor unburrow nearby. Of course, this doesn't always deter the bigger baddies, so after the duration is up or something crosses its center, it detonates.

Reasoning: As a sniper class, sitting in the back using your wrist rockets to fend off assaulting bugs likely isn't very fun. So having a way to get them off your back would be greatly appreciated.

Utility: Alcoholic Dart

With the help of a small dart gun and the finest booze Deep Rock Galactic has to offer, even the most weary of dwarves can be revitalized. A single shot from one of the four offered beverages (toggled with a key), various buffs can be applied to dwarves from a distance.

Reasoning: Buffs are still something the game has yet to toy with, though it's clearly planned. I tried to consider a way it could be implimented into the game without being annoying, or having to go out of your way for.

#

Mobility Option: Rappelling Line.

Functioning near-identical to the zipline that the Gunner has, the main difference is that it shoots straight up into the air at the press of a button. After 25 meters, if it collides with an object or rock, it creates a line between the two locations, allowing for easy vertical mobility. When jumping off in any direction, dwarves also gain a boost in height and distance, allowing for easy disembarking. Other differences include a lack of needing to be attached to the ground, it not being automatic (requiring dwarves to actually move), and the inability to use all equipment while embarked, including weapons and the pickaxe.

Reasoning: More vertical mobility is always useful in the caves; however, it was made to not be superior than any other option, such as the gunner's zipline or platform gun.

Armor Upgrade: 50% damage resistance against Praetorians and Dreadnoughts, and the ability to use gear and equipment on Rappelling Lines.

Reasoning: Pretty self-explanatory.

Go ahead and ping me in #suggestion-discussion for all the many inevitable complaints about things. ♥

What do people think about a 4v4 PvP/PvE game mode with two competing mining companies going for the same resource I think it would be a really cool dynamic game mode that would add loads of replay ability and don't think it would be that hard to do as they already have thing like hitboxes for team damage and caves that players could be dropped at each end. I understand that some players like the game as a co-op game however people who don't want to PvP could just stick to co-op. (When I ask what do people think remember to have any convocation in the discussion channel)

I've just thought about something, every evolutionary chain has it's flaws right? So what if there was a chance for something like an exploder praetorian cross or a webspitter warrior cross? Genetic contamination due to so much reproduction of the glyphid race to keep up numbers due to how much we kill them. It's an ambitious idea but I think Ghost Ship could definitely pull something like that off

drifting lava Oct 4, 2018, 11:04 AM

#

I always thought we should have markers per character
Even with voice chat, communication isn't as clear as it should be
I mainly play scout, and most times I need to mark something for someone (drill spot, platform, etc) they start looking around and going "where?" since the game bundles all characters and markers under one
Some sort of colour coded marker would be useful
So if you see blue or red or whatever, they know immediately which class and where it is
(could also be applied to the character silhouette to make it extra user friendly)

Things like a 1000-year old elven grimoir, Karl's golden beer tankard, a flux capacitor, fossil of a non-insectoid native creature, etc.

I am not sure if this has been mentioned before but imagine if you could call in reinforcements.
So basically you just add in a few more slots for other players and they get notified but mission control and have to go in the drop pod to get to you and your team but they don't stay for long and have to leave in another drop pod.

Or something like that

dusty kettle Oct 5, 2018, 12:05 PM

Search didn't bring anything up, so I'm gonna suggest it:
It would increase the atmosphere of the game 1000 fold if light sources cast real-time dynamic shadows on higher settings (instead of light/dark values on polygons.) The shadows should be sharp, of course, to fit the art style, no fancy soft shadows etc. needed. And multiple shadows don't have to overlap or anything, they can just merge that's fine. I know this is technically demanding and the developers have 100% thought about it, so this is more of a "vote" than a novel idea or anything.

The game is visually perfect otherwise, but if there has EVER been a game made for real-time dynamic shadows, it's Deep Rock Galactic. Can you imagine throwing a flare into a deep chasm and all those shadows it would cast, dancing and twisting around the room? It would be magical. This is my only wish visual-wise.

#

It would be neat to have a variety of weapon options for each Dwarf. For example, the standard minigun for the Gunner is pretty effective but not particularly accurate. What about a sort of auto-cannon? Something that fires slightly slower but fires accurate and powerful rounds. For the Driller how about a napalm launcher? For the Scout a rapid fire SMG? A more powerful pump shotgun for the Engineer? Just some thoughts.

How's the idea of a multiplayer campaign sound like?
