    season 4 definitely added more good than bad. Stingtails and septic spreaders are in a much more healthier state and rockpox is less annoying for those who don't enjoy it. The damage they caused before the maintenance patch was great but nothing that couldn't be managed.
    I personally still have a lot of issues with ol' harold here aka the corruptor as its IMO its just not fun and legit stops me from keeping rockpox on because I love rockpox, just not the corruptor. Its just doesn't need a second armor plate.

    Season 4 had a rocky start on some stoney ground but improved tremendously as it progressed ending with a well balanced game that is in a really good place. I enjoyed the rockpox story line and felt a sense of community achievement when we finally defeated it as though I had made a contribution that made a difference in an interactive environment; I had earned the right to disable it and by the end and it was satisfying to do so. Your last video introducing season 5 has left me excited and looking forward to it. May your sacks and beer mugs be brimming, Rock and Stone ⛏️

    I started playing DRG in the beginning of 3rd season and play it A LOT since that time. I think that season 3 and 4 are pretty nice, not as good as first two seasons, but still good. I think it wouldnt be even painful to play them... if 4th season wouldnt last 1 year. First two season were so cool (i guess, i havent played them myself) and they lasted half-o-year each, but after them we had to play the game for almost two years with seasons that are poor on content (compared to first seasons).

But idk if these weapons would fit drg, my point is, its quite hard to come up with new weapons.

    The only thing i did'nt like was the skill tree is to simple and some skills only work on multiplayer
    For me some skills can be combined and the characters can have some passive skill like Scout like team fortress 2 double jump, Gunner have higher resistances
    Driller carry more ore and not be slow when carry heavy ores and parts and Engie contruct and repair things faster and give more health when repair things, like Doretta can have 120% or 140% health when the engie fix her

    One more thing, All things have their moments of weakness. Thank God it was season 4

    But, I would be quite glad if season 5 does away with it as the theme and introduces something else. I'm still going to finish up the S3 pass to get the rest of the weapon skins, but god damn do I not want to see more rockpox after that.
    Weapon maintenance is a nice idea, just wish the skins looked better.

I has quite a bit of content and it's not that bad content but the fact that some fans had to look at it for so long is not ok for me, at least with the season 5 we will be able to switch seasons so I will be ok with no season for a year deal if we can play all of them again every time we come back into the game.

    I think what bothers me the most is that there was still no overhaul of the perk system despite plenty good community suggestions on how to fix it.

    I loved this season, I mean, really loved it! Loved Spreader, Stingtail and all!
    I guess the problem with the whole rockpox situation was that those events were too big to be secondaries. When you already need to find 3 mules, salvage at least two legs per mule, repair them, fight through this damn triangulation and fight again through another triangulation, who wants to deal with an additional 3 contagion spikes and a corruptor in between? This is too much. And the Spikes were MANDATORY, which is a horrible idea when you already have a large primary (like mules or rival data).
    But once you take these out on their own, they're awesome, maybe one of the best gameplay loops in the game. And the designs and atmosphere are marvelous!
    My only complaint was that the Corruptor was not a hole new Seek and Destroy mission type with two or three stages: one would hunt for the Corruptor, fight it in a small arena, break its first layer which makes it flee, repeat the hunt and finally kill it. It would have worth its own mission!

    So I don't think new weapons are something people should really expect going forward: the amount of time it takes to design, balance and model weapons increases exponentially with each one that's already in the game- they need a gameplay niche distinct enough from existing weapons that they're not just a better/worse version of something else, they need a unique design that still fits in with the rest of their class's unlocks, and they have to model a version for each type of weapon framework that already exists (especially ones like Military or Builder's Choice that have unique models rather than adding something to the default one).

  • @danielplocica8766
    @danielplocica8766 2 місяці тому

    1:38 A lot? 6 might seem like a lot, but let's not forget 4 are just rockpox variants, which makes rockpox waves have variety they should have had in season 3 already, being more enemies except with bulbs on them. And the 2 unique general ones are unique but there is just 2 of them. There is so much potential for more enemies, that wouldn't be hard to fully create. But they did decide to make a good work and create unique models, ending up with only 2 enemies, with nothing more coming in over a year. That was the real dissapointment for me. As much unique they can be, they aren't some core chamgangees (which is good, we don't enemies that completely shake up how we play and what loadouts we use) but also bad, since they're adding some variety for a while, before becoming just basic and you still get to fight the same enemies over, not much was improved on that, except when you're fighting the rockpox, which just became okay from "very meh".
    I really wanted at least 3
    And while I am not someone who craves new weapons beyond anything, I don't even thing we should get more weapons for the existing classes. But complete absence of any new player equipment, despite more perks/perk improvements/perk rewors being in the top 5 suggestions really gives me the feeling of absent content that should have appeared. Or even the fact the corruptor, who already is lackluster, is the only new event that appeared, nothing else expanded on lithophage other than the enemies, nothing new to the spikes, the meteors, not even to the infection mechanic itself which people had a lot of complaints over, untill november, which was a really delayed response (but at least there was one).
    Also, comparing harold to the caretaker is really unfair, he is not(was) only difficult and unbalanced, but also doesn't have enough going for him. Just two attacks, with 2 light unspecial passives (corrupting terrain and larvae summon on armor break). The caretaker has 4 appendages, which themselves have 3 moves, but also had a plasma shield attack/ phase bomb attack/area electrocution on top of spawning shredders and patrol bots. If harold at least summoned rockpox enemies or some rockpox gas clouds, but they really didn't bother to make him more than a walking plague spike

  • @naanviolence8260
    @naanviolence8260 2 місяці тому

    Most significant season 4 weapon change: Plasma burster missiles. The other weapon changes and additions feel irrelivant or redundant. Double barrel is worse than jumbo shells as it lacks range and use against priority targets. Missile barrage is worse than base hurricane as it cripples range/accuracy, and excess particle clutter. The ammo buffs to snowball & spinning death don't feel too impactful either, they're just slightly less prone to running out of ammo.
    It seems like season 5 is going to be huge, though. 12 new OCs and a new mission type. Pray no new cleans. And that the new mission type doesn't have Sabotage-syndrome. I am hopeful.

    Honestly I think the Seasonal system off updates is kind of a deterament, because it ussually means having a load of new content to deal with at once. Like Imagine if the Rockpox Stuff and the new reg enemies where addet as different content updates.
    It would have given the playser and GsG more time to test them, and maybe it would have avoided the how broken everything felt.
    I think that Seasons are good in the sense of giving you this other way of progression in the game. Like that is good.
    I just think the actual features and content should be more spread out, in order to maintain quality.

    Man, this season is cool and all, and harold is a cool mini boss, and sting tail is pretty cool too, but oh my god why is septic spreader is so annoying, it's not even about his attack patterns or trajectory of his shots, it's about the everloving f*ck that happens to my fps after that mf spits out a compressed toxic lump of pure particles. I play on somewhat old laptop which wasn't designed to process a lot of graphical information, or any information to be honest, but clearly that abomination of a bug was not born to support his brothers from distance with mortar-like shots, he was born to drop my framerate from 60 to 13. I swear to god, every time, whatever the class I am playing, on whatever map or mission that is active, when I see that faint ominous red glow at distance I drop everything I am doing and rush right there, like some kind of dog that spotted a squirrel, trying to take out that grinning no-eyes arthropod with all costs, because I know: if I do not, I'm srewed, and the game will freeze again, and I'll probably, yet again, see a crash handler error

    The way you mentioned Season 2 seemed really weird to me, because I thought people's opinions on the bots was also that they were excessively oppressive at release, and it took until Season 3 before they got toned down... I mean, Season 3 was my first experience with the game, so Idk what the balancing for the Rivals was prior to that, but people seem to constantly cite Industrial Sabotage as their least favourite mission type, so I get the impression they weren't especially fond of that content...

    • @RematodeRanger
      @RematodeRanger 2 місяці тому

      The sabotage is my least favourite mission type by far. Every other mission type is very randomised, but not IS, one singular boss variant, always two hacking locations, always the same tactic to win against the boss. Way too samey for me.
      I have a similar problem with drilldozers final boss, but the rest of the drilldozer is much better.

    I disagree that the jet boots make the scout useless. In a hard to describe way it just feels like the whole team’s roles are accelerated and accentuated even though in theory it DOES sound like it would make the scout useless. Some of the individual class weaknesses are masked by the jet boots, plus the scout still hugely benefits from them too, since the combination of jet boots + his grappling hook can make him untouchable and fall damage extremely rare since jet boots can cover him while his grappling hook recharges. Plus during combat the scout can more effectively draw aggro since he can fly right over the swarm and not be affected by the sea of glyphids which usually end up overwhelming him

    To the complains about the new enemies:
    Skill issue? The new bugs especially the stingtail and spreader were the most fun things cuz u actually had to adjust your playstile and focus them while avoiding the other bugs. Once you figured out how to deal with them, they weren't really much a big threat anymore. (Playing on haz 5)
    The corrupter I kinda agree with. But that's most likely a skill issue on my side. Avoid being to near to it and foam it completely before vacuuming it. Done.

      Scout is selfish with its traversal tool. Newbie scouts tend to not think about terrain with it and either blitz ahead of a team uncaring of resources or the fact they are now isolated (commonly getting leech'd) making things harder on the team or they grapple carelessly to hard to reach minerals only to slip and fall to their deaths. If the issues comes up with drillers, its likely they are taking a joke too far and actively seeking scouts to kill with C4.
      Scouts are good, its just you need to know more about how to be a team player (praying drillers don't troll you) despite the sheer speed the class is usually associated with.

    I've been playing since 2019, and Seasons 3 and 4 really took a huge hit on my replayability of the game.
    The option to disable them has helped, but in terms of my friend group, the damage had been done already and most of them moved on to other games, leaving me without a dedicated group to play with anymore.

    Now stingails are one of the best enemies in the game. They're unique, common but not to common, their armor and health are balanced, they do quite a bit of damage but it's rare that they will hit you, and the grab can be deadly but it's rare that it's op.
    Septic spreaders do need a damage Nerf. The fact that they do more damage than a trijaw, are harder to hit, shoot faster, and slow you down shows that they are a bit OP. Their DOT either needs to do kest damage or not act so fast. If your in the septic crap the dot kicks in every 0.3 seconds, it's nearly instant.
    Harold and the other Rockport enemies are balanced, difficult, engaging, uniqe, and fun. The only one that may need a minor rework is the bomber maybe have the blisters on the belly instead of the back so you can actually hit the. The only time Rockpox is OP is if you have a retarded teamate who vacuums the foam before all of it is down, doesn't know how to break harold's armor, or doesn't know to shoot the blisters and to not let their meter fill up. If you are one of these people and you play on haz 4 and above, then you should kys sense you're just ruining your teamates experience, it's the online equivalent of littering on trails.
    Other enemies that need nerfing are regular goo bombers. They either need a health or movement nerf as they are to tanky for their speed, otherwise they are fine. Also fuck q'ronars. They 1st need to be able to be frozen. Shellbacks either need a slight armor or health nerf. Younglings rolling charge should not knock you as much as shellbacks. And when you have iron will active you should not be able to be grabed, moved, or slowed. I've lost way to many missions from a q'ronar knocking me out of the way whilst I Was ressing a teamate when I had iron active.

I think the Stingtail is one of the least fun bugs they've made and its still leagues more fun to play against than either of these new factions. They have a great basic combat loop in this game but the new factions don't follow the rules they've made for themselves. Its really disappointing.

      I really liked it. It added new rockpox enemies to make the outbreaks feel less bland, and the corruptor is honestly one of my favorite mini-bosses in the game. It has some powerful attacks that are still dogeable, and it isn’t just pointing and shooting at the glowy bits for 5 minutes like a lot of the other bosses. The stingtail mixes up fights in a unique way, and it can be dangerous if it grabs you into a crowd, but if you handle it correctly it can be killed really easily. The septic spreader forces you to keep moving during a fight, but since the blobs can be shot out of the air, it’s completely harmless if you pay attention to it, and it’s got a huge weakspot so it dies quickly. So personally I love the new enemies, and the rockpox content gives more variety to a really interesting feature. Oh yeah and the jet boots are fun.
