dancing on Thunder's grave edition
>What the fuck is this shit?
Dirty Bomb's a free to play FPS and successor to games like Enemy Territory or Brink
>Is it p2w?
No. Merc unlocking system is very similar to LoL's champion unlocks.
There are also loadout cards with different rarity, but those aren't going to make you less shit at the game, and everything above bronze is purely cosmetic
You can easily craft them by trading up the dozens of crap lead cards you get

They'll never nerf sparks because the brown noser likes her.
>>123995383
And they didn't even buff the MK46.

>>123995847
Who quits if they're winning, or even losing but its a good match?
Does anyone know if the concussion XP is awarded from the flash, the concussion, or both? My testing has been really unclear. I'm curious if anyone knows for sure.
>>123995960
The problem lies in the fact that the game actively encourages stomps, It's literally built into every map. Good Matches are so rare they aren't even worth mentioning.
Even in competitive, the second one team gets the slightest upperhand it nosedrives.
>>123996251
the concussion, never if they are just flashed
>>123994985
What's that?
>>123996346
What a load of ass
>>123996497
Rainbow Six: Siege. One of the operator vids you see when unlocking an operator/merc.
Kapkan's specialty is laser tripmines. He also has a semi-auto shotgun.
17th for Flashbangs shouldn't be able to disable sentries or mines, nerf pls
>>123997076
>Rainbow Six: Siege
Ugh. What a disappointment.
>>123997087
>taking away one of the few uses of the now-nerfed concussions
lol
>>123997253
Eh, gotta get people you know to get more out of it.Doesn't help that they're giving out R6: Vegas if you buy and/or play it before the 14th.

Yeap, he was right. He sucks.
>>123997457
You're right. It also shouldn't be able to affect more than one person. Also its cooldown needs to be increased to 30 seconds.
>thunder can disable my health station

Proposed thunder fix.
Radius for all effects increased to the entire map.
No looking away.
Friendly fire in full effect.
Duration increased to 346 seconds.
Effects slowly wane over duration.
Cooldown increased to 39 seconds.
Completely deactivates deployables.
thunder needs 2 concussions grenades with the old effect tbhs
One concussion nade on q and one flash on e would fix a lot of his issues and give him more versatility.

That's his best combat loadout. Jelly.
hey whats up sharkies
Multiple stacked-to-shit matches in a row.
Constantly on the losing side, scrambles never go through.

>Hollunds bad
You're bad.
Any way to see your k/d stats before a match ends?
Can Stoker go off free rotation yet?
All these shitters do is meleetov people when they get low on health.
The fact I actually have to ask for ammo 8 fucking times when there is 4 of them on my team? Not helping
>>124006271
Why would you want to see your 2/39 kdr anyways?
>>124006330
fuck you the ammo station is 5 feet behind you, stop asking
>>124006330
Just wait till tommorow.
>>124006465
God damn name field. Always forget to clear it.
What happen to this shitty game i used to get 200 fps now i'm getting 90-100 with stutter and its annoying.
>>124006567
WHERE
All I see is Stokers roasting in their own fire just because that Proxy on the other team got close to them.
Why the fuck is a medic capable of 1 shot kill me as soon as i join a firefight
>>124007660
Because shotguns totally aren't broken OP according to SD and 99% of the playerbase.
>>124007660
Because tucking a healing station behind a wall and proceeding to one-shot anyone who tries to kill it is the new meme
Can you deal 100 damage with the Ahnuld if you shoot someone's face point blank?
>>124008680
You can 1shot a fragger with it.
>>124008680
It's 70-something on a bodyshot and twice as much on a full headshot.
>>124008680
You can deal that much at mid-range with the Ahnuld. Point blank is no problem.
>>124001918
Wait, is that you, diabolic pepe? It's me, your biggest fan! I asked you the sabotage tips list. You're a truly good anon, keep saving this ded general, good work.

I want to fucking kill myself.
>>124010286
They're happy because they don't play Thunder.
Nerf everything I don't play, even if they don't need it!
>>124010286
Its always the same with the forums
Nerfs=good

The context doesnt even matter to them, nerfing caulden?, completely jutificable
Its just plain sad
Also its nice to see my first edit posted again, it even has its original name
>>124010753
>>124011010
There's only one guy complaining. Don't understand what he's trying to say about Phantom, though.
Poor Thunder. He doesn't deserve this. If anything, I was anticipating changes to his MG.
>>124010286
At least the reddit is in the right place.
These changes were so shit, I'm too bummed out to play.
>>124014408
Oh god, you should've walked over that 2nd mine and recorded yourself doing that
That would've sealed the deal

They're not even nerfs stupid, your favorite weapons that got nerfed are BETTER now, +1 damage to Dreiss is CLEARLY worth 60 less RPM :^)
>>124014762
I got it for $35 off of G2A. Plus free copy of Vegas soonish, so I'd say well worth.
Plus it just feels like the good tense, y'know.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qcxx5NnZ_tQ
These operator videos are pretty good
but why the fuck does a spetnaz dude use a DP28 in modern day?
Why do I do this to myself? I know that I'm going to have a bad time using the Dreiss, but I still try to use it anyways. Terrible experience every time.
>>124016091
My eternal dust collector. Maybe one day I can travel in time back to pre-Redeye update and take it with me.

>>124016218
Way back that was her best card
>>124012278
Greg is an Aussie who complains about fucking everything though
>>124016303
I also have this, another one sitting there in the shelf. Sad part is I didn't even have flashy cards for them back then, I just used iron loadouts.
>>124014085
Nice I lel'd, next time put a healing station right behind that blue wall near his body but out of fire from the enemy and teabag on it for effect
>>124014408
Excellent, only thing I might have done is shoot the mine myself but not even necessary A+
>>124016218
I know a little bit about dust collecting, myself. This fucker is going straight into the trade-in. It's also my oldest card.
>>124016234
but another spetnaz guy has a PKP

>>124016761
Well yeah. I think it's like this: The Spetsnaz choose what works for them. Some use old weaponry to their advantage, while some use newer gadgetry.
>>124014085
>>124014408
Please keep doing this.
>>124012278

>>124013139
Just checked it out. Might be some hope, now. Of course, with this being the top thread, I still want to kill myself.
>>124018424
I want to murder Faraleth with my bear hands.
Can someone explain the hate for Faraleth? I don't really use the DB forums, all I know about him is that he makes the posts that summarize what they talked about in the DB stream, which is a great service.
Wait, you could cook the fucking things this whole time?
No wonder Thunder was so annoying.
>>124019278
He's total shitter and devs listen to him.
>>124019495
Have we actually seen him play? How bad is he?
>>124017153
Just finished it, i said that i very liked everything
that will show em
>>124019617
He mains Sparks and cried exploits about burst weapons killing him. It was proven with video evidence that the difference between normal and the "exploit" was less than 100 milliseconds. That's all the evidence we need to judge him as total scrub.
>>124019495
If they listen to him, maybe there might be some hope.
(Assuming he's actually in favor of Thunder being buffed.)
>>124019617
I played a few times against him and he's pretty shit. Not like 5 hours into the game shit, but 400 hours into the game and not improving shit
>>124019932
He's a sparks faggot who complains about literally everything, especially when someone shoots a gun at him.
>Buff sparks
His post are either crying about nerfs or being hollier-than-thou beta cancer.
>>124020257
complaining about nerfs to sparks only.
>>124019932
>>124020257
Is sparks still considered Bullshit? She seems to be on par with Sawbones.
I'm not gonna pretend that she isn't a better Vasaline, but I feel like that's Vasaline not being strong enough not so much Sparks being OP.
>>124017153
>>124020813
I dunno, she dies really easily, when i play her i mostly snipe-revive.
If her reviving gets nerfed she'll be 1st useless medic and will join vasili in the trash bin.
Vaseline needs a buff.
Nerfing stuff every time a babby cries about it on plebbit ends up with league of legends-tier garbage, where there's 15 out of 120 heroes viable in competitive at any given time.
>>124020971
>I got stunned and died, it's not fair
>But I'm OK with Fragger instakilling me
>>124021496
But vasaline already attracts the worst players in the game. Shall we not reward them?
>>124021521
>>124021521
>>124022347
I would say "Replace Arty's grave with Thunder"...
... but Thunder was never alive.
>>124022347
why did i find this to be so funny
>>124022072
Well, alienating people who have good aim shouldn't be a thing.
>>124022072
Theres something about sniper characters that is very attractive to people, TF2 is the same way.
But this isn't counter strike, you need to have really good aim in order to compensate for how purposeless a man who sits in the back is. On top of this a sniper is by design something that is gimped if it doesn't have none snipers between it and the enemy.
Because of this if a sniper is bad he is really bad, and if you have more than a couple snipers then neither they nor the rest of the team can really do something. Therefore snipers get hate.
>>124022873
But alienating people who don't understand what the word objective is something we probably should do.
>>124023447
I get that, hell I like snipers too. I can see they have a purpose, or at least should in db, but the problem is exactly as you say. A good sniper can disrupt the enemy team, and (to a lesser extent now) keep the dead ones dead.
The problem is, most people aren't good snipers. And even if someone has good aim, that isn't necessarily enough.
For every game I see a full greasy team of Vaseline stomp mine because we have no idea what is going on, and they're omniscient, there are tens if not hundreds more, where one team has what is effectively an empty slot at the bottom of their scoreboard.
So I suppose the question is. If a buff need be given, how could it be done, to encourage team play, to what is so often not a team player?
>>124022489

>>124024176
Yes, please.

If you're making suggestions for a Concussion grenade replacement, sure.

>>124028838
Nah that look he gave to sparks in the trailer he totally enriches her with Nigerian seed.

It's like they got gud with the shit they're dealth with.
>>124036961
No, they've always been good, even before Kira got her bullshit nerfs. The only thing that changed was that they stopped using the Dreiss. About the only constant in this fucking game is that if a high-level player brings out a Kira you're about to get styled on.
>>124037491
I probably should ask. Were most of their kills with a gun or with the PILLAR OF FIRE?
>>124036204
I'm gonna take a guess that you were playing on Chapel. Chapel is the Kira playground.
You could always play Underground to partially avoid them, but then you'll just get shit on by good Stoker players. Or bad ones.

Kira has the highest skill ceiling of any merc. Her speed plus her guns is just fucking killer.
>>124043705
I used to play Kira mostly and I'm good with her. I even play her on Underground. The thing people really underestimate about her is her speed...they can know she's fast but even then you see her and by the time you do you're already at half or less health. And the smart ones know just who to target...someone alone gets burned down quickly, or if you're distracted by another player then catch this 3 round burst to the dome, etc. Adapt and keep movin. Work smart not hard.
>>124043718
Some day, Chapel might be revamped to suck less Fire Support dick
Some day, defender last spawn might be changed to discourage killing everything with a single laser or airstrike
Some day, I'll quit being such an optimistic asshole

Half the time in pubs, people don't even think to shoot the damn things. Whenever I watch someone take on an Aura from spectate, I see them hopelessly attempting to kill said Aura with an SMG while she's dancing all over her station.

Then what's *your* MLGPRO merc, anon? Vaseline? Fragger with M92?
>>124045441
I'm not always sure how to use speed as an advantage. Which kind of bothers me since I only play fast mercs.
I think the only time I really noticed speed was when spawning with skyhammer to trash an EV because the time from spawn to action at that speed was SUFFERING.
And on underground right after game start as cda, with sneaky aura shotgun sprinting to right tunnel I regularly get first blood by shooting in the back non-engineers focused on planting on generator.
Or when:
>Phantom uncloaks in front of me
>avoid katana swing
>Phantom sprints with katana out to cut my face
>hold S
>free kill
Actually thinking about it now I suppose there are a few advantages. But Kira I'm not sure, I don't play her but her speed is lower than Aura so I don't see how her lower health is a good tradeoff compared to Arty ? And she has to expose herself even more to call in / drive her laser.

Are you saying the old burst rifles took more skill which a chance of failure.
While the new ones are weaker but easier to use?
Cause you would be right.

It's almost like I wrote a line before I don't have experience playing her. Which is why I was asking questions.

Can't wait until the next update saying "The concussion grenade cooking was BUGGED. It should now work again."
Also, how the fuck did SD come to the conclusion that this change was SO IMPORTANT that they had to put out an emergency fix that 2/3 players dislike?
>>124049281
You stated you don't play her...then made a definitive statement. If you don't know then don't act like you do.

Alright man I getcha, and I'll try to keep it simple
The beauty of Kira's laser is that you can call it off walls as well as the ground, and other vertical structures as long as there is no impediment between the sky and where the laser will first touch down.
You can be behind a wall and if there are enemies on the other side but a HIGHER wall behind that you can call it down off that wall, and then click the laser to guide it in a path closer to you and it will sweep over them. You don't need to even see the enemy but if they're out and not under cover you can kill them.
Additionally, if you're playing her properly then you let the meatshields take the brunt of the focus while you target behind the enemies focusing on them and then sweep over them. You peek out long enough to get intel, determine a targeting spot and then call it down and guide it.
A common mistake new Kira's make is that they try to guide it around by standing in the open and holding the targeting device out and pointing where they want it to go...when you only need to click once somewhere and it will go to that new spot.
So, lets say you're on Chapel attacking final objective, you get line of sight on the bus and peek out, target the wall behind the bus on right right side to call it down, then once it's down corner peek the rock and one click the laser spotter behind the rock and it will sweep to there. While its traveling you can then corner peek burst fire at an exposed or escaping targets. Of course you have to make sure the coast is clear to your flank when peeking but that's gamesense.
Another example here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rjRh6tgX-E
Another tip: If you're defending Chapel and the enemy has the bridge constructed at the final objective and is hiding above that wall by the rock...you can target that round fan jutting out above them and call the laser right on their heads...etc.
Be creative.
>>124050904
Huh, always assumed you dragged it from what I keep hearing. This is... pretty changing, if I may say so. Being able to laser without being a target and whatnot.
And due to the speed nerf, I assume good Kiras never use the laser to rack kills?
How do i git gud?
>>124049649
>Can't wait until the next update saying "The concussion grenade cooking was BUGGED. It should now work again."
They do use that excuse a lot when they want to nerf something or don't want to admit to faulty decisions.
>>124051178
Well she's most effective in pubs and due to the meta not used in comp (rarely if at all)
But you can easily get triples, quads, booms and explodydendrons in pubs using her because pubtards love to bunch up and aren't the most positionally sound.
Another example is in execution on Overground you can use her from the top of the train to stop people from rushing up the back path to A behind site, and on Market you can rush up to middle, laser in front of dank market then if the coast is clear peek through the garage and aim it on the ground on the other side and it will go across the roof, etc. Like I said you have to get creative with it.
Another fun thing is you can call it off the water tower on first objective trainyard (the big white one) and it really helps clearing a camp if they've already closed the track gate. Just run to the closed gate, aim at the wall above the door to the ammo building and then go back and forth with it between that building and the ground in front of the closed gate and you'll catch a few kills while they also have to worry about a flank and the people pushing from the other end of the bridge. Use it to deny entry to the containers on terminal, protect the bomb on underground..etc etc. There's a lot of possibilities there.
>>124051878
Stop relying on Fagger.
>>124051878
only rely on fagger
>>124051178
Oh and always come from behind the EV on Chapel when disabling it since you'll almost always get a free kill for the engi beind it repairing...just wait til its 99% repaired, call it down, kill him then disable it a bit for some game mode xp. Hopefully an Arty or Skyhammer will finish the job. Arty and Kira together are a great combo.

Stop playing Fragger
Play any of the classes with burst rifles other than Fragger, I actually recommend Kira because her low hp threshold and high speed will encourage you to either finish fights quickly or get the fuck out
Once you figure out burst rifles and understanding combat flow, you'll figure out pretty much 2/3 of the entire cast

You can do the same with arty with faster targeting, less cooldown, more AoE
>Additionally, if you're playing her properly then you let the meatshields take the brunt of the focus while you target behind the enemies focusing on them and then sweep over them. You peek out long enough to get intel, determine a targeting spot and then call it down and guide it.
Faster to call an arty strike so you don't need meatshields to tank for you while you do it. ie. she has to expose herself even more than arty, thanks for proving my point

Already knew that aiming spot, and Arty can clear that spot just as well with a more spammable AoE ability.
The bus drag is neat though, and something only Kira could do properly.
So thanks for being a condescending dick, still didn't answer my question of how the hp/speed tradeoff is worth it on Kira compared to Arty given the weapon selection and abilities.

>>You can do the same with arty
No you can't. With Kira, you can call the laser on something you can see, and then drag it to your position or any other position, and it will kill people in a position you can't see or can't call it down on. With Arty, you can just call it on something you can see, and it can't move to places no one would expect it to be.
i actually hate SD

I realized what you meant after posting, you're right.
Did I miss anything?
>>124055662
Did you test these out with a buddy on the enemy team maybe in private match?
Seeing that friendlies have a reduced effect, does the reduced effect apply to yourself as well?
>>124055662
It's a hotfix for bugs. Thunder flashes were very obviously bugged on release, I don't think anyone was denying that. Fixing their behavior to how they're actually intended to work is a priority, then you can balance the numbers. Balancing around bugs is retarded. Thunder is only a few days old so I'm not surprised, I expect him to be further balanced in the coming weeks to adjust to actual live performance, like Redeye was.
Very nice testing though, I wouldn't have the patience to spreadsheet that and it's good to have solid numbers to discuss.
>>124056534
>Did you test these out with a buddy on the enemy team maybe in private match?
Yes, an enemy tunder was used.
Timers were gotten by recording a vid at 60 fps and looking at the frame data.
>Seeing that friendlies have a reduced effect, does the reduced effect apply to yourself as well?
No both enemy and yourself get the exact same effect strength.
>>124056703
Hi faraleth shouldn't you be choking on a dick?
>It's a hotfix for bugs.
Yeah, because concussive slowing the mouse movement was a bug.
Because concussive should not inhibit the movement or aim, or actually anything. It being not useless was a bug.
>>124056963
what's the point of this image?
>>124057636
A lot of faggots justify a lot retarded decisions by saying "w-well the pros have been saying/asking them"
They can't actually logically explain it, they basically reffer to shit players like this as the word of god and that's all the proof they need.
When in reality a lot of people who play in competitive are shit(Not all mind you, just not every player nows what the fuck they are talking about purely because they play in competitive)

Obviously it didn't play out as the devs intended or they wouldn't have patched it out.
Honestly for crow control abilities there's an exceedingly fine line between useless and oppressive. Making a merc underpowered hurts the game less than making it obscenely overpowered so I'm fine with SD being conservative, it's easier to incrementally buff Thunder than handle again the sea of rage that release Phantom was.
I maintain that what you're doing is good though, I don't necessarily disagree that he deserves buffs.
>>124057964
If they do, they should add the extra info:
>Enemy thunder was used to test the effects of the nade and I used video recording at 60 fps and then looked at the video frame data to get the timer results.
