No no no, do some digging on the steam forums, granted its a great game but aside from buying a merc everything else is pure random gambling. Play and save your money it really is a total rip off.

I'd suggest just buying mercs, the starter pack would be a good choice before spending credits on mercs included in the pack.
 
cant get on with this at all as a low sensitivity player something feels wrong playing at 50cm 360 my mouse feels like its moving it through a swamp.

Why not adjust the mouse settings in game? I can spin 180 with hardly any mouse movement at all.

I have tried trust me been playing at low sensitivity so long any lower and i cant hit crap, far cry 3 was the worst game for it so much negative acceleration on the mouse when swiping at speed.
 
The official forums have some tips on .ini file edits to remove mouse acceleration etc.

Some people seem to have started to adopt it as their competetive game of choice, so there's a lot of info about graphical (minimalism) ini tweaks, voice scripts etc. around as well.

Seems to be supported by the devs too.

Don't get me wrong i enjoy the game haven't had as much fun in awhile will have a look on the forums.
 
I wrote a whole mini review and accidentally pressed back or something. CBA to retype

I like it. The cases mechanism is crap, pointless gambling is out of place imo. I would not buy anything with real money, it's not that grindy compared to even BF games IMO. The map selection is pretty limited at the moment, but they are quite good. Make no mistake, the is an old skool team arena shooter with some modern twists and rewards skill over class/loadout and rank.
 
I quite like this - it's old skool in the respect that deployments and the motion of the game is quite fast.
 
I played the Tutorial and 1 quick game online. Early signs are pretty good.

I won't be putting any of my own money into it, so if it looks like its going to be Pay to Win I might bail.
 
I don't think its pay to win. Its pay to speed up. In BF games you grind for guns, here you grind for loadouts. I got load cards which I'm quite happy with for my mains (Proxy/Skyhammer) for the time being, and they're only low teir (I forget the terminology, one up from default). With the level/rank system it seems you are only competing with people a few levels below/above in public.

The case roulette thing is mind bogglingly stupid though (IMO). I hear even CS:GO has that kind of rubbish in it (long time CSS guy here)
 
There is nothing functional that's only available for real cash - there are fancier skins but they do nothing you can't get for free in-game grinding. If you want a particular loadout, you can buy just that card, either with real money (booo) or in-game currency (hurray!), you don't have to gamble.

Basically, I would treat the random packs as 'freebies' when you get them in the game, and then use in-game currency to buy mercs or occasionally specific loadouts.

I'd say use the free mercs on rotation (I think it's to change every 2 weeks?) and only 'buy' a merc if it's off rotation and you really miss it. If this holds my attention I may buy the starter pack (£22.99, 5 mercs + 50k in-game credits) purely as a way to pay the devs for the game, same as I occasionally buy a pack of stash tabs in Path of Exile whenever I rack up another 50 hours.
 
You can't buy a specific load out though? You buy a chance to get one of them, right?

One thing that is good about DB is that not everyone has nades, so you don't get as much made spam (though there is plenty of spammy ranged explosives)

Anyone having an issue with this game freezing? My game freezes after 5-10 mins of gameplay, really annoying.

Made a thread on the forums:

I'm the only one with this issue?

I left the game for a few mins after the crash/freeze and I had this error message:

Does this shed any light?

It's only random if you buy the cases.

Click store -> loadouts and you can choose a specific one.

They are fairly pricey (10-17k ingame credits I think, I've not shopped around much) but if you know which one you want for a merc you are enjoying you can just go in and get it.

They are all 'Bronze' level, which means choice of weapon, 3 mods. The higher tiers (silver, gold, cobalt) just give the exact same bonuses and weapons with a different skin.

@oL - not seen that issue I'm afraid. Hopefully your DB forum post will get some attention.
 
I did notice a pretty hefty memory usage (RAM that is) last time I played it. Just happened to have a system monitor open on another screen, something like 7GB in use. I just put it down to all the other crap I had open and didn't have any problem with DB. I think the first or second match I was in it bombed out to the main menu but nothing since
 
Couple of issues I have with this so far which are really stopping me from enjoying it fully.

Anyone had issues with the main UI being incredibly unresponsive? It chugs and you have to wait after clicking things. On the forums they reckon it's a GSYNC problem but I can't find a fix.

Another one is a massive variance in FPS. One map it will be perfect, averaging around 100-120fps, then others it will be between 30fps and 100fps causing a lot of issues.

Really fun game though once everything falls in to place, just need to fix the above to really get stuck into it.
 
What is it with some people in games like this. Just had a game where I was on a team with a couple of people who had the same tag before their names. Both of them spent the entire round doing nothing but ****ging off and berating everyone else on the team for being "n00bs". This was in a public 'quick join ' max. level 5 game.
 
Nobs everywhere. I was having a really good 2v2 on a public (again, max level 5) server and my team mate had to go. He got replaced by some pubic abscess who did nothing by snipe near enough from our spawn. It was a really good game before that, even the other team gave up hammering me and were just air striking him out of his nest

Oh and menus can be really choppy for me too. Don't really have frame rate issues in game
