So, after being disappointed with the Overwatch beta, I heard about this game and started playing it recently. I've been having a lot of fun with it.
So, I want you guys to try to ruin it for me. What exactly is wrong with this game?
It's pretty fun I guess.

>hey /v/ help me not like this game.
Is this what this board has come to?
Still in beta and probably always will be, like DayZ.
Updates take 2-3 months for maybe one map release.
It's fun and allows for some crazy high skills with long wall jumps. Fast as hell and takes precise aim, no RNG bullet bullshit.
Played that shit way too much in closed beta.
When it finally released, the level of retardation i was subjected too was so high i just had to stop playing.
It's a good game tho.

>Still in beta and probably always will be, like DayZ.
I don't mind that. it's just semantics. I consider it content-rich enough to be considered fully released.
>Updates take 2-3 months for maybe one map release.
I'm fine with that
>It's fun and allows for some crazy high skills with long wall jumps. Fast as hell and takes precise aim, no RNG bullet bullshit.
I know, it's fucking fantastic. Being able to long jump and chain it into like 2-3 more wall jumps to basically fly is fucking great.

Redeye is Australian and everything he says is a shitpost.
I'll do pros and cons
cause im fancy mother fucker
pros:
fast paced very basic parkour system.
iron sights aren't required pinpoint while hip-firing
alot of characters to play from, lots have nice and different uses
alot of different playstyles from multiple supports and assaults to medics and snipers
tense action
decently polished, game doesn't look or play like shit
It's free
There's a crate system that gives free augments, some are shitty but can be traded up to change gameplay style.
ex: a bronze augment card for phoenix(a medic)
faster healing cooldown-higher healing potency-and increased radius.
all augments are predetermined and cannot be changed, so don't (if you want) spend like 50$ opening cases, cause it's not random, it's predetermined cards.
Cons:
1. Devs leave us in the dark for MONTHS before giving any hints on any fucking thing
2.Fuck Sparks
3.snipers ,like any game, are a fucking cheese class and full of bullshit on chokepoint maps.
4.Fuck sparks
5. some characters are just too meta and are just flat out better than others.
ex: Fletcher is the best objective specialist- there is no point to play bushwhacker or proxy
6.Fuck sparks
7. payload maps are a fucking joke because there's always 3-4 skyhammers or Arty's nuking it with air support and we can't fix it fast enough.
8.Fuck Sparks
9. You have to buy characters, but it's not that much of a con since winning 7 games gets you one.
10.fuck sparks
11. some augment cards are just flat out fucking worthless with no point of using. like a medic with combat abilities, but with the shittiest guns and melee weapon, so it's a total piece of garbage.
--
Overall I give it a good solid 7.5/10
It's fun, it's fast paced, it's free, it's not pay to win. I'd give it a go.
enemy territory is still better
>>339568608
From how you posted, it sounds like you won't have any issues with the problems the game has.
It's got a steady playerbase so even if the numbers aren't too high, it's far from dead. You missed a huge event, but it doesn't really matter much. Now is a really good time to start playing since they give new players a lot more stuff and they updated a lot of the shittier loadouts.
>>339568608
You literally can't get the highest tier character loadouts without paying.
>>339568608
Nig nog on the cover.
There you go.

>>339572302
Very untrue. This game is only pay2win for the first like 10 hours. That's because if people both started at the same time, but someone dropped 40 dollars, they would have access to 3 augment loadouts before the other person. However, you quickly get those augment loadouts just by playing.
>>339572302
>what is trading up
>>339571581
this, but noone plays it anymore, servers are all filled with bots
>>339572534
>>339568608
It's cod with arena elements
It's more casual than overwatch but if you're okay with that I won't stop you
>>339572661
>It's more casual than overwatch
No, it's just easier to carry in Dirty Bomb. It rewards your individual skill more, but Overwatch needs more teamwork.

Proxy can be way better objective specialist if you know how to rush flanks. Run in from behind, throw a mine on the healing station and then when everything is clear plant. I will admit she dies a lot faster, but she still get's the same amount of kills and plants as a Fletcher if you play her right. She's essentially the equivalent of a speed sweeper in pokemon.
>>339568608
>Nexon Security devours CPU
>up to a minute before the level loads and your framerate stops shitting the bed
>above Bronze tier is supposed to only be cosmetic but Silver-Cobalt easily has god tier boost mixes
>said cosmetics are flashy shite
>best waifu got maimed
>still no Party Queue
>free rotation can have some of the shittiest mixes
>open beta forever
>there are loadout cards that give Phoenix a boost to completing objectives
Especially that last one. Makes the game toogood because then I can finally fill every role and carry the whole worthless team.
>>339572793
Fletcher can d o the same thing with more hp from a distance.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but fletcher can plant stickies from a larger dinstance than proxy can with mines.
>>339568608
The core mechanics of the game is really fun.
I think the main reason this game is dying is due to the lack of polish. When compared to other shooters the game isn't as pretty, the personalities of the characters are bland, there isn't a lot of map variety. The list goes on and on.
On top of all of this is an unlock system that is actually quite scary to the casual player. Having to unlock mercs and their loadouts takes a lot of dedicated time without spending money. Personally I think the game would benefit from having an option to "buy" the game and unlock all features forever.
>>339572661
HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
The actual worst thing about Dirty Bomb is the player base thats left playing it, half of them are low level new players giving it a chance and they quite often get dumped into the game games as people that have been playing since it was a closed beta/alpha. Those players that have not yet smurfed are all jaded as fuck and can and will use the most broken shit in an attempt to entertain themselves.
>>339572661
>I wont stop youthanks for your permissionfaggot
>>339572803
The only difference between Bronze and the cards above them is visual. The Augments never change beyond Bronze.
>>339572869
Yeah, but that speed get's you in and out a lot faster. It's hard to blow up stations around corners at distance so you basically have to rush in you plant stickies on them anyway.
Not to mention nothing is more hilarious than planting a mine in a camping spot and saying "wait for it" in chat.
>>339572876
You don't really need all the mercs though, just three that you use consistently. They should make all of them available the first week you play though, so you can get a good feel without having to wait every week for the next rotation. Not to mention it doesn't take that much time as long as it's your dedicated shooter and not something you just play every other week (which I guess would apply to new players).
>>339573068
It gets you killed a lot faster. Proxy is literally the mark of a shitter.
just play wolfenstein: enemy territory
still has a steady community, same devs who made this game but its way more fun with custom maps and a bunch of other cool stuff
>>339571224
>winning 7 games gets you a character
WHEN?????
Is that true anon?
7 games in a row or total?
>>339568921
I've picked it up again after about a year of not playing and finding a level 10 and up lobby in the US is almost impossible and it feels like for so many its their first FPS or something.
And as a class based FPS every lower level wanting to play a DPS class and being total ass at left clicking people hurts my soul.
>>339568608
Its shallow as fuck and the developers are lying scum bags
but apart from that, what could possibly go wrong
Oh and its P2W
>>339572869
Fletcher is my nigga and I've got nearly 40 hours played on him alone but retards walk on proxy mines ALL DAY like they're deaf and blind.
>>339576015
There is nothing pay to win about this game unless you absolutely abhor grinding couple days of play can get you any 1 class + whatever bronze loadout you want.
>>339572661
Is that why DB players are making Widowmaker look broken as fuck. Your professional OW players can't even snipe targets like McRee consistently.
Balance is all over the place, primarily because mercs aren't specialized enough at the shit they're supposed to do.
The advantages you get in combat for playing a "player slayer" merc that can only fight are often extremely situational; the only ones worth playing are Fragger and Nader, and even they would be underpowered if fire supports could airstrike indoors. You could arbitrarily make Phantom an objective specialist and he'd still be worse than Fletcher in most situations.
>>339577167
Phantom is just pretty shitty even before they nerfed katana helicopters and some mercs are better on some levels like underground artie and lazer bitch are pretty useless but chapel they're fucking great.
I still fucking love this game. Phoenix main reporting in.Sometimes I heal/revive teammates.
Who're your mains?
I also run Vasilli and either Arty or Proxy depending on map.
>>339577607
Arty party all day, my nigga.
