Alas, some things will never happen in Deep Rock Galactic.
i've had an idea about possible season updates/biomes i'd love. Hoxxes 4 has a lot of moons, right? how about instead of a new biome on Hoxxes itself, we'd get to go mining on one or more of its moons (not on their surfaces of course). having extreme environmental hazards and/or radically different wildlife that evolved separately from the glyphids, or having one moon that's been taken over by the rival robots making it into a fortress city the size of a moon
I believe the buff beers still double their listed buff. Making it not double and putting random food buff choices to go along side the beer could create interesting pairings, and perhaps need minimal balance changes.
Adding an underwater cave biome I believe, other than the swimming, would not be that difficult to implement. You already have the oxygen system of the low oxygen caves, just make it to where you can go to molly or a resupply pod etc to refill your oxygen tank. Yes, you would definitely need to implement new creatures but I think they could reuse some from the dense biozone as it is seemingly a coral reef type of biome. They would need to work on balancing things underwater and lighting etc but the necessities and basics aren't too difficult to implement and some are already there or have been done before such as adding new enemy types.
@@shadowyyCFH i didn't have swimming in mind, instead you'd stay inside the submarine at all times, piloting and defending it on the inside
@@annihilator_ron7691 That sounds like an interesting mission type that would be unique to the biome, and I also think they could find a way to implement all mission types except maybe industrial sabotage to the biome (robots don't mix with water). Same with escorts as doretta is a robot, except what you said sounds like it could be the underwater version of escorts, and you defend the submarine version of doretta inside it in a sort of barotrauma fashion or on the outside as normal, staying close to replenish your oxygen and of course defend doretta. I believe staying on the outside instead of inside would be the best choice because DRG is a mining game, and you can't collect minerals and other things for the secondary objective while inside a sub, unless of course you can enter and exit it but that seems too complex for DRG. Not in a difficult to implement way but in an unnecessarily unique way from the original escort missions. Another thing, molly is a robot, so she wouldn't mix with water, however I think R&D can come up with a waterproof version of molly. (sorry for uploading paragraphs)
tldr, you can turn the submarine idea into the escort mission for the underwater biome just being on the outside of the sub as you can't mine minerals inside a sub.
For the next season i want drg to focus more on the enemy sorta genre, by adding new dreadnought types to make elimination missions more fun, a new mission type where you defend a mine head base against swarms, and add a "glyphid territory" warning where glyphid enemies are more likely to spawn in bigger bunches.
Still kinda hoping they would bring that Acid Spitter Queen as a boss fight to the game as they had planned years ago.
We already have swarm defense, escort mission
True. Though the idea of let's call them "Megafaunal Surge" and a "Grunt Herd" modifier.
The former increasing the density of special enemies like grabbers, praetorian, Rollers, mini bosses, bulks, so on, but with less normal swarmers and grunts/mactera along with all their variants.
The other being less of those special emergencies but way denser swarms (as well as more frequent random enemy wave spawns)
Also I agree underwater wouldn't work but flooded caves with ankle to waste deep water pools in and flowing between caves in isolated pools and streams could work.
The actual water would be like deep snow or slime, slows dwarfs and reduces fall damage but with a smaller impact then deep snow. they may also be able to add some new or interesting enemies like having aquatic mactera larva that couldn't leave the water maybe, adding more danger to being in the water, or add a aoe to lightning damage, you could electrify yourself if carless but you could also electrify a near whole swarm.
Next season is gonna be a prequel to the spin off game drg: rogue core so they likely alr have plans for it
Poxnought (The corruptor squashed any hope of the making it into the game but we can still dream)
Personally, I do think that a *bigger* dreadnaught *could* be possible... if it was its own mission type and was a singular boss like the caretaker. It'd be unique, we'd see what adult dreadnaughts look like, and so on. And it doesn't even have to be different adults for each dreadnaught variant. It could be completely unique. Then they could let the absence of the adult dreadnaughts tell the story for us.
Its far more feasible than stuff like a 5th class, more than 4 players, etc
Potential queen perhaps
CODE LYOKO PFP
Yeah, only issue with it is obviously with its size you wouldn't be able to kill it, but they added something like explosives to the mission and a large arena in some sorta glyphid nest where you dodge phases to go closer and plant bombs on the queen to then explode armor so you can damage it normally on weakpoints could be rlly cool and make sense
Honestly, I think a Water-**themed** biome is far more likely than a water biome. Could have a name like..."Iridescent Aquafer," and place it between Glacial Strata and Dense Biozone. The lore could be that water is melting at the edge of Glacial Strata and watering Dense Biozone. As far as decorations go, there could be streams of water coming out of holes in the wall and flowing into pools. It could have a deep sea theme, with flat sandy floors, slimy walls, and deep trenches, and a few unique passive mobs that resemble deep sea creatures or schools of fish. I think it'd be fun!
adding pools of water would mean they would need dynamic water
@@supercharged5-39 Not really? The idea is not to have a one made of water, but to have a one that is very moist. The game's already got that low-poly look to it, so I don't see any reason they can't just build low-poly water assets and give wet spaces a nice sheen. Then, add some simple splash sprites around the player models with some basic wet footstep sounds. Voila! Moist dwarves.
"Honestly, I think a Water-*themed* biome is far more likely than a water biome."
Yeah that's Azure Weald, and a bit of Dense Biozone too.
@@Repicheep22even "low poly water" requires a lot of work. What if driller blows up c4 near a water, how would it behave?
@@smailik6322 That's fair, putting in puddles of water *would* be quite the undertaking. But what I'm envisioning for the Iridescent Aquifer is that it simply *look* like the bottom of the ocean, with no actual water physics involved. A waterfall could have a tube in the wall, like the vents in Sandblasted Corridors, with a wiggly, collision-less, translucent tube hanging out of it. A splashing animation with accompanying sounds at the bottom could sell the illusion. A stream could be a sheen effect on the floor, programmed to only draw downhill. A pool could be a collision-less plane with a sheen and perlin noise applied to it. They could make environmental objects that *look* like water, but are really just translucent objects. If they get blown up by driller, they could explode, like the air geysers in Dense Biozone, or just cease to exist, like the thorns in Hollow Bough. I think this is entirely within the realm of possibility for Ghost Ship. It would absolutely be a lot of work, but I have no reason to believe they couldn't make this concept work.
Don't add classes, add "sub-classes" by giving the dwarves newer and more different guns.
Most people who are used to "hero shooters" and the LoL style of games always want more and more characters added to a roster, but that is never a good idea, because it makes previous characters less interesting and it is a pain to balance properly.
Do it like Team Fortress 2 did and just add weapons that completely change how you play certain characters.
Me personally, I'd add the option for ACTUAL melee combat by adding cool Melee Weapons that fit every class, and which would sort of use the Vermintide series mechanics for it, with the DRG blend.
I'd love vermintide style melee but it wouldn't work at all for current DRG, maybe in Rogue Core, but the whole game is based around keeping the bugs away and they have fast, high damage attacks if you even touch them
Driller-Two handed Pickaxe
Scout-Sword
Engineer-Warhammer
Gunner-Axe
Ive always wanted grenade mods. But unlike weapons, grenades would only get 1 mod at a time rather than 5 total. Each grenade would have up to 4 different mods to choose from and every grenade would not have the same mods.
Examples of mods could be:
+1 grenade
Tracking module
Damage
Throwing distance
Heat damage
Effect duration
Grenade overclocks
Scout
Ifg. Radiator field. Grenade now does damage over time to bugs and players less slow but chance to stun 30% fear chance from Grenade
Cryo. Flash freeze. Decrease Grenade area majorly massive increase to freeze power enemies stay frozen for longer
Pheromone. Paralitic additive. Bugs hit will slow down and not Atack other things but will attract 2 more bugs each
Boomerang. Ultra conductive rangs. Will only hit 4 enemies. Each enemy is stunned for 20 seconds and will arc electricity between them while taking electric damage for 15 seconds electric arc depends on distance
New Grenade
Repellent. When thrown emits a high frequency with a small gas, all creatures in range will flee even big creatures (acts like shield) will only last for 5 seconds anything hit by the gas will be stunned for 20 seconds. Warning Repellent doesn't work against projectiles. Bonus. High frequency will harm small organisms or fry low-level technology. Instant kills swarmers shredders larvae or infected larvae
Repellent. Damaging frequency. No gas frequency is much higher creatures will flee but slowly and take damage as they flee. Big creatures take no damage, which lasts five seconds
Amount carried. 4
Don't know if anyone wants this I just thought it was cool
Judging from how game balance has shaken out in some modded lobbies, I think that an 8 player mode would be more viable than a 5 player one. They'd need to tweak nitra and resource spawns, and enemy spawn behavior, but if they really wanted to make huge missions work, they *could* but it's another unlikely thing.
Through some crazy glitch I once had 5 people in my lobby. It was fun until the nitra ran out, then it was just terrible lmao
I had this crazy idea for a kind of 8 player mode. Every player has their own Bosco to command
@@moldman5694it happened in a edd once, luckily I forgot to switch out of my amo build and only needed one resup the entire time
Maybe have it as a team vs team race? I could see management wanting to speed up miners by pitting them against each other
@@wert1234576 Probably never, the devs of DRG are pretty ideologically committed to avoiding PVP as much as possible and are dedicated to making a purely co-op experience.
Out of all of this list the food at the bar seems the most harmless / really fun world flavor idea. Monster Hunter World and their black magic 3d anime food was supernaturally drawing.
Considering there are voice lines referencing sandwiches, I’m surprised there isn’t an actual sandwich in the game
All we need is equipment overclock. Example : scout's hook shot can defibrilator a fallen team mate. Less range and limit revives stocks. Scouts flare can shoot a fear pulse for a few seconds on the innitial shot. There is so much potential with just equipment o/c. Faster zipline or that it can be shot vertically. Driller drill are faster with momentum or drills has a mini dash when used. Platform effects or shape changes. Turrets oc for shotgun or flamethrower short range or sniper long range shot.
i be thrilled to have overclocked C4 to fly straight to my scout.
replace the turret with a close-range "bugblender" defense system which consists of an immoblie beacon, and 3 small hovering robots with spinning blades, the robots macerate any enemies that enter the beacon's detection radius.
My idea for other movement / utility was to have a whole new mechanic that essentially works the exact same way, just different in its own way
Scout
Mini flare ejector. Charge up shoots a burst of 5 small flares can stick into walls or enemies when in enemies they glow red and have a 1 percent damage increase per flare each flare lasts a minute but has way less light in enemies they only last 10 seconds
Propulser. Point in a direction get an arc that appears showing your trajectory. Charge increases arc size, decreases fall damage while flying, and can be used mid-air doesn't rely on Range
Gunner
Energizer banner. Instead of shield, it increases Atack power while in the Barrier and instantly applies fear to all enemies except massive type faster pick recharge better melee health regen on kill banner lasts longer time but doesn't protect and fear only lasts half the time
Elevator platform. Simple shoots a mostly up zip line with a platform on it can call Elevator and can jump from Elevator easily doesn't protect from fall damage but goes much higher and faster but only one platform so no being a troll
Driller
Dynamite stick launcher shoots Dynamite and can trigger all at once on reload doesn't do much damage, but pairing Dynamite together makes more damage and works better with the movement tool
Arc cutter. Makes a concentrated stream of plasma that can cut through walls with a thin cut (doesn't count as melee) at the end is a much wider arc of plasma allows you to cut out squares. single holes made with this tool or the gunners rail gun can be filled with Dynamite to cause a bigger and better explosion that loosens material
Engineer
Mini turret. Yes, I know it's literally just tf2. Can place 2 upgrades to place 4 or stronger works like snipers and only fire 20 rounds before automatically returning better ones last for 30 shots cannot be reloaded only picked up to reload or replaced auto aim for weak points and can be placed on walls but low damage and low fire rate
C foam blaster. Shoots a stream of foam, losing pressure and distance will stick to walls and slowly grow out to form platforms can be jumped up almost vertically and will stick too also slows bugs no Repellent additive can be shot on bugs to slow them
@@whitygooselmfao, the truest driller response
The problem with that is you lose a lot of team identity/team comp especially when playing with randoms, and the team balance could get upset, so the devs have said this isn't happening
I’d like a Glyphid hive biome, where you have to crack into it with Doretta for an elimination mission where fight dreadnoughts and cap it off with fighting one huge Glyphid Queen. We get a bigger bug, but just one that’s easier to balance the game around. Maybe you can only access it at the end of maximum danger level deep dives. Pack the hive with valuable minerals to boot and you could have something really cool for Greybeards to try and an endgame activity for green beards to work towards.
Limit how many times the dive appears, the community would get alerted and flock to it when it drops. Maybe completing the dive 3x let’s you just pick an overclock as a reward. Higher spawn rates for gold bugs and the like. Just an idea I had.
That would be fun. Minimum requirements for promotions, or EDD completions, drop it once every month or 2 months or something.... Some of my most enjoyed moments in DRG are in the quieter biomes on lower difficulties where you just get extended chances to explore and feel the vibe. I love that. Just looking for minerals.
Gunner in my eyes is pretty much a medic with his shield,combined with field medic
Payday 2 Medic Dozer
Well, if DRG does get cross platform play then I hope at the same time it would also come onto the Nintendo Switch or their next counsel. I have an image in my head of seeing players on each system followed by a person snapping in a joycon into the Switch and we hear Mission Control say "Dwarf inbound".
That won't happen, unless they start optimize their game or you want to play switch port which will run horrible.
A man can still dream.@@xOwlBear
I'm on xbox but I can play with a friend on pc, so how does that work?
@@tristandragonfire3422Because your friend on PC is playing the version from Xbox game store. It shares the same network backend as with console so that way its possible to play crossplay. Steam version has its own network backend and those players play in their own pool and does not share the experience with anyone who is on Xbox (PC or console) ecosystem.
@@tristandragonfire3422Sony is gatekeeping cross platform crossplay with others behind a paywall for the devs
i think the idea of an adult dreadnaught gamemode similar to deep dives (Not a mission type) would be cool
just give the pickaxe more upgrades and ppl will already be more happy about it, like more diverse options for regular swings and more kinds of power attacks and some gimmicky stuff with it would be nice to see rather than just more power swing dmg, faster recharge, or larger AOE.
Gemini picks :D. Dual wield for the win
I feel like having an overclock for the boltshark that heals anything it hits, similar to the crusaders crossbow from tf2 could be a decent way of adding healing to drg and would make the scout even more powerful supportively to the team, especially in higher hazard mission where perpetually being at low health is common. Also being able to heal Steve would be pretty rock and stone.
I think your idea is great, but I feel like it wouldn’t really fit the mechanics of DRG.
Unless the overclock added healing bolts as special bolts, it would make the boltshark pretty much useless for damaging enemies. I can’t imagine something like ana(overwatch)’s weapon, which hurts enemies and heals allies being added to DRG, where friendly fire is a prominent mechanic. It would also lower the value of red sugar/supply drops and lead the players to act more recklessly, since they’d have more healing options.
Again, great idea, but I don’t see how it could be well implemented in DRG.
Rock and stone
@@bastienfelix4605 i think sugar bomb is better, like a grenade overclock.
Nah, that would mess the balance to hard and become a must pick meta, unless they make it unstable with a significact nerf to ammo or ordinary bolts' damage, and even then it would remain extremely powerful.
"The Abyss Bar will never have food"
Best Wurst Beer, checkmate
A mission type I'd love to see would be one where the objective is to just kill a set amount of bugs, just entirely horde clearing
The mission should be composed of 2 runs
The first: A normal gold extracting mission and combat in the way
The second: you appear in the same planet, your builds and tunnels still exist but the mission inmediately starts being flodded by enemies
Like an invasion to company's planets
It would take too much resources from coding to art to voice acting, but I'd love to see an Evacuation mission added. Something like a Salvage mission, but with survivors that you have to protect. It'd be fascinating to see the dwarves interact with someone other that MC or their robots.
I doubt management cares for all the teams lost underground. Although it would give it a lore friendly explanation why you wake up in a hospital bed after a teamwipe.
For the "adult dreadnought" I don't think a bigger and badder dreadnought boss would work because it conflicts too much with regular elimination.
Rather what I think would work and fit the game would be a raid boss style where you progress through a fully developed glyphid nest and then fight and kill the queen.
Around 3-4 large rooms would be before the Queen that each have a good number of pre-spawned bugs (to prevent skipping through) as well as 1 swarm per chamber (and only one).
Each chamber would only have passive bug spawns once it is cleared, allowing for easy mining of the large amount of nitra needed for the final chamber.
Once you reach the Queen's chamber it becomes a constant onslaught (with ups and downs in glyphid spawns, think of it like payday's police spawning mechanics).
You would have to work together to kill the queen with some kind of heavy weaponry that mission control would send down for you.
Plausibly the heavy weaponry would be single use turrets that mission control sends down every minute or so, which you have to keep bugs off while it aims for 30s or so (the projectile fired could be some kind of bore drill so that it can pierce terrain logically and not be restricted by cave gen). It's single use so that when another turret is dropped players are forced to move locations and create a better dynamic for the fight.
The queen wouldn't just sit idly by either, it'd be this huge glyphid visible from across the room who doesn't move but spits fireballs at the players forcing them to pay more attention to where they walk.
The queen's attacks could take inspiration from dreadnought fireballs as it is a grown version with versions of the fireball fan, fireball barrage, the shockwave ones, and if it can be balanced, the queen might also be able to spit fire or do slam attacks that create shockwaves.
Optimally the swarm chambers should take about 1-2 minutes + mining time depending on swarm length and the queen fight should take around 6-10 minutes depending on how many turrets you fumble, resulting in a roughly ~18 (at best) to ~35 minute mission type.
*TLDR gameplay loop is: go through 3-4 large chambers, 1 swarm per chamber, reach queen's chamber, fight constant swarm of enemies while defending single use turrets that drop around the cave while dodging the queen's projectiles.*
If you came to the replies for a "lore dump" well congrats. If you came to give feedback, even better, I enjoy getting it (non toxic feedback) and it helps me improve.
A Glyphid Queen isn't a singular entity that rules over all glyphids of Hoxxes IV but rather are a more territorial bug that sits in it's chamber laying eggs to birth more glyphids that will deal with intruders for it.
I also like consistency but glyphid tunnels and glyphids eggs conflicting with this and thus I have an explanation. Dreadnoughts (default dreadnought specifically) can spit out a "fireball" that is filled with swarmers (and pheromones) and regular dreadnoughts actually move about and sometimes hatch early by accident (dreadnought swarm) so they could be the culprit of glyphid egg laying outside of completed glyphid nests. (why fungus and dense biozone for glyphid eggs, idk, idc, this is good enough for me.)
I like this idea tbh
Basically just a deep dive, but all the locations are connected as you go down to the boss room.
@@kassaken6521 Structured more like a hybrid between escort and mining missions.
@@Psyko_Monk3y I "dig" it. Rock and Stone, good idea. Probably stealing this for my DRG themed D&D campaign.
Maybe a mactera dreadnaught could be interesting. Aside from the prospector, there's not really any flying boss type enemies, not to discount elite variations. I don't think this would be popular, but perhaps there could be a variation on the korlok as well. Going forward, one or two more mission types, and a new biome would be really great, along with any additional endgame/progression content to add more things to work on as well.
Medic class is just quick revive and shield boosting perks, anyone complaining about getting medic when those 2 is doing all you need , cause technically allowing shield recharge faster is a sort of healing and giving 400 shield overcharge is all you need.
Ah yes, MVM medic
I would love to see a raid mode in a deep dive style where it could be like a much higher hazard level but you can get 8 dwarves :)
hazard 10 with 8 drillers would be INSANE 😭
@@justsomewendigowithinterne7062 "we're rich" but 8 times in a row would make mission control abandon his job
Bro, imagine a full-grown dreadnought busting out of its cocoon, and it's a massive behemoth that requires 8 dwarves to handle. And because it's so big, the generated biome would be massive and would make for a great deepdive, where it's just one massive location the size of 3 deep dives, and we have to physically make our way down into the depths to the final boss room.
@@kassaken6521 and it wouldn't be a mere dreadnought but a hivequeen herself :D
There already is a melee subclass.
Driller?
Yeah drill , throwing Axe, plus pick Axe has a great combo system to do melee
6:50
I think the balance problem can be solved by mission control support. For example, throwing radio washers at a Big momy bug so that drilling missiles from a space station hit it, or other support like supply turret.
Now I'm not going to be able to stop wanting a "raid" added. After the ideas of 5 players, and the mission taking place on the surface/ underwater with full grown dreadnaughts as the boss. They could make it work like instead of killing it we just neutralize it and get hints of mission control "dealing with it" to add lore
Edit: I wonder what would make for the best reward from it, maybe the ability to choose which overclock you get finally? Other new stuff?
That reminds me a little about the rouge-like I think I remember them announcing, it might be a good idea to implement it there?
They said no water specifically because of the procedurally generated destructible terrain. However, having a fixed water level that applies a "low 02 + low gravity" effect would be neat.
We already have a medic class, gunner feels like your playing as an overprotective mother most the time and has a shield perfect for reviving.
A fossil biome would be really neat, since each biome has 2 weird little extras, this one could be oil geysers or stains on the roofs or walls, that blur your vision. And weak stalagmites that fall when shot.
It could be named “primordial sinkhole” or “prehistoric domain”
It offers tan brown caves with dripping stalagmites. Skeletons on the floor and ribcages on the walls. And certain walls or floors have little fountains of oil and some walls even have stains from the oil. Stalactites will line the floors.
The sound of a stingtail dreadnought being a possibility scares me. I mean sure it’s a good idea and I’m not saying they shouldn’t implement that into the game, It’s just I’ve already annoyed enough when dealing with the *normal* stingtails. I don’t know how I’d feel if I’m running a solo hazard 3 eliminations run with Bosco and I shoot open a cocoon then all of a sudden a larger more armoured stingtail pops out with the intent of pulling me into striking range while shooting me with fireballs and smashing the ground probably creating splits similar to an earthquake or a large lithophage meteorite.
A smart and cool thing to do would be to take the surface biome idea, adult dreadnought idea, and underwater biome idea and put it all together to make the surface of Hoxxes a dangerous and horde infested area that has ginormous dreadnoughts roaming the land and when engage starts and epic boss battle with pillars that rise up and provide protection and areas to grapple onto with the scout and having the engineer place platforms for places to dodge the dreadnought!
Similar to your "Ability rework" I was thinking more "Ability overclocks" for example Jet fuel drills, which like snowball would allow driller to shoot his drills (probably on reload like snowball overclock) as a sticky DoT projectile if it hits something, but at the cost of 5 fuel liters. Or "Auto-builder module" which made engineer's turrets build automatically at the cost of bullet damage. "battery overcharger" for gunner which would basically remove recharge delay instead of creating a shield field for several seconds if a dwarf would walk past it. "Glimmer light flares" for scout's flaregun that would lower the brightness size, but highlight ores like Nitra through walls.
I want more interesting perks. Maybe exclusive to each class
Perk tree needs a rework real bad. Half of them are useless compared to Field Medic, Iron Will, Vampire, Dash, etc. The passives are better balanced I think but could still use some love.
Hear me out what is the fifth class wasn’t a minor but an enemy?
You could basically set it up as a PVP game mode where the four dwarf minors go do their casual thing in their mission, but there is a fifth player acting as the attacker setting up certain types of units for them to attack from, even being able to control certain variances of grunts? It can simply just be a narrator, kind of style, and basically target certain players by marking them
I feel like that would be a cool concept
Closest thing there could ever be to a medic class would be giving one of the existing, most likely engineer, an overclock that makes it so your grenade launcher shots cannisters of healing gas
which should be somehow poisonous as well for bugs cuz otherwise you are pretty much limiting yourself to just one gun, like, even with the rocket jump grenade launcher you can still do damage, you don't need to rely on your shotgun
I wouldn't be surprised if *something* like that was to be done for next season, we should be getting either new weapons or new grenades, whatever it is, at least something has to be related to R&D researching rockpox somehow and since the entire point of these 2 seasons was to get rid of the rockpox, it would make sense that the idea is to create something that has the opossite effect to rockpox
I’ve always had an idea for what I call a “Devastator Package” it’s basically the offensive version of the Cleansing Pod. 2 different heavy weapons (rpg/hmg?) spawned in pairs with EXTREMELY limited ammo. It replaces your primary while equipped like the Lithofoamer or Vacuum. They would be in tandem with some new event or boss but not 100% neccacary. I think it would be cool.
I'd like to see overclocks for the class as a whole. Would be really cool.
This is less of what they can add but what they can do with the concept of drg so I think that there could be a survival game whare you wake up in a cave bc a old run down boscco healed you but that was the last bit of power that it had before running out and falling to the ground and the entire premise of the game is that you need to get back to the hub of drg through either a broken radio that you can barely hear mission control but he cant hear you and if you find the resources to fix it it is no longer garbled but he still cant hear you and need to go to ware the other miners are before time runs out or you fix boscco and activate a beacon or something so mission control can see ware you are and need to defend against a HUGE horde of bugs until the dropship and other miners rescue you (and you might possably play as karl)
I like the concept very much!
I'm kinda tired of all the new games when it can simply be a new game mode, like survival, where the transportation drill has a malfuntion and you go off course. But personally, I think a rescue mission would be better and more unique, where you're going in to save lost dwarves.
If you need underwater DRG
Just buy Barotrauma
I'd like to see alternate traversal tools, so like a wall gun for the engineer, or a bounce pad deployer for the gunner
6:01 Maybe they could implement surface biome in missions like when they send you onto mission, something happens like you get stuck there and must repair drop pod to continue into the planet. So you partially play on the surface.
It would be really cool if they added oveclocks to gear. Maybe an overclock could let gunner carry his own shield, but have less charges, or an overclock that changes the shape or size of the engie's platforms, or one that makes c4 radioactive.
There are giant skeletons and the mission control literally say we are killing dreadnaughts "before they get to be more of a problem", or something.
There better be a adult dreadnaught coming.
Ceiling boots. Not exactly Jet Boots. These allow players to walk on ceilings. When turned off the players risk fall damage. Also more minerals.
I'll add one to number 9: we had a drink with food on Octoberfest. So, it's techically there.
Also, I think they might give us a beers, which gives us bonus to mining minerals or nitra. But to balance it, they must be REALLY costly on barley bulbs (for example, +50% mining nitra might cost up to 3-5 bulbs for each round, but they won't be affecting loot directly. Minerals +50-100% SHOULD be 4 bulbs at least).
A versus mode, although 100% without a doubt is not coming or will be even moved past maybe thinking about it, is fun to spectulate about how it'd play.
One thing i think that isn't really talked to loudly about is a new infinite mission type, similar to a deep dives but it could potentially cross several biomes in a single cave system. Or perhaps have it be a survival mode, similar to cod zombies.
A big reason why they aren't able to add a shooting range (sources are all not from devs themselves but people saying the devs said it previously - so IDK how true this all is) on the Space Rig is because of how the programming works; the space rig is an entirely different set up compared to normal levels, thus it would be a lot of work to add a space rig, probably not worth the reward that comes with it - I would really love one though, because the amount of time it takes to get into a level to try out new guns and builds is not worth it (over 2 mins), whilst a shooting range on the space rig would make it so easy to try out how new guns work
This video really gave me a few sparks of excitement that I'd love to see. In terms of the adult dreadnaught I agree with other comments that it could make for its own mission akin to sabotage with one big boss. But specifically at no. 8 and the talk of ability overhauls, I think I'd love to see potential overclocks added for the equipments. Portable shield for gunner, or bouncy trampoline platforms for engineer. With the wacky nature of some of the overclocks, I'm sure there are some ideas that fit the equipments perfectly.
There is a mod called sanbox utilities that adds a shooting range and a lot of other features. Its easy to install and use since the game has amazing mod support
5 Player mode? we already have 8 player lobbymod: more player blanaced is the mod called. just add the mod dynamic nitra cost and there you go. its my default mod setup to play with all my friends in one lobby
Stumbling into those lobbies is some of the most fun I've had in the game
I want a street fighter 6 style lobby where I can see other peoples dwarfs and not only the 4 team, cause I feel like the company is way bigger than just us 4
Little addition to the problem with a potential “healer” class(although I love playing healer in other games). One other challenge would be to balance this class for solo missions. If it were as viable in combat as the other classes, then there would be no reason not to have four healers on a team. On the other hand, if it were weaker than the other classes, then there would be no reason to play healer in single player missions.
they should add basketball ring in the hub, they already have the feature like when you throw your gunks
9:31 This refregirator is a reason we dont have snacks on the space rig. And ooh boy YOU DONT WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS INSIDE THIS THING (as i heard Engi got Steve swarmling to the rig and hid him inside. And looks like he grown to the a tiny dreadnught. But i think guys was joking on me and it is Carl who left his noodles inside)
I feel like everyone asking for a melee weapon/class has never played Cryo Cannon driller, especially with Vampire and Impact Axes (and Berzerker, Thorns, and See You in Hell could all work too if you want full melee; it might not be the most optimized perk loadout for general play, but it would definitely give you that melee playstyle). I also recommend you take the Cold Radiance mod on Cryo Cannon (this applies to every Cryo Cannon build, not just melee).
I'd like more minigames on the abyss bar, as well as a card game table you could bet credits on
I love it!
Ok, but you need to consider this could be another method of transferring money to other player, if you unlocked everything that money can buy (so basically helping on other mans grind).
Personally I'd like a hybrid melee/beast tamer play style
I would like to see factions added. In rival invursions it was introduced that there are rival factions, that would be nice to be able to pick one and that would have different classes and weapons available
I think the rework of classes and their tools is a possibility iof they just add overclocks for tools, that would be great for more things to unlock, wouldnt mandate you change playstyle but it would give an option
The solution to not having a medical class would be to give the gunner a force field alternative that creates a healing field for everyone standing in it
Maybe we could see a adult dreadnought in rogue core, something like industrial sabotage, just a big boss fight at the end🤞
Your incorrect on the reason for the shooting range, the devs had said the reason why there won't be a shooting range is because of the way the space rig is programmed, it would take way to much effort to be able to use guns on the space rig for not enough reward.
Counter argument for melee class, give them melee reduction bonus-higher health/shields- faster shields recharge/sooner delay (not all of these but combinations that can be made from armor modifications that are stronger than the other classes). Various melee weapons that could be used that have range outside of enemy melee attacks such as spears/pikes and wipes, other options for primary would be a greatsword, and something like the ripper from fallout. Secondary could be combat knife, greatshield, or throwing knives. Unique weapon could be a modified impact axe that works simpler to gravity hammers in halo, and then his unique support item could be either a flask of bear giving increase attack speed and dmg or a lasso to pull targets to you (such as lassoing menaces to be able to hit them or keep them from moving, could also be used to pull allies down from the clutches of cave leeches). Note just put one of those in. Not an option for this or that as that would be unfair to the other classes that are stuck with 1 option for support item.
Note that this claws would greatly benefit from the vampire perk
new gamemode fs, i dont have any ideas but there's got to be something, also there's a moon circling the planet, that could be a cool biome.
An 'adult' dreadnaught fight with heavy support, think something like Doretta but with really big guns, could be really fun. Or maybe you have some sort of orbital bombardment to call in from the space rig to hit it hard. As far as medics are concerned, I think there could be a robot or something in certain instances.
I was just thinking of how it would be to add a “Builder” class to add more defensive options. As of right now the only things I can think of that compare to having a builder would be the engineers platforms and the gunners bubble shield, but I think it would be interesting to have to ability to lock down sections of a cave during swarms.
For example a wall ability that expands to the diameter of a cave entrance to block the enemies from coming up behind you.
This could have a time duration or a health bar for the times it’s deployed.
Another example could be a “dwarf fort” similar to a port-a-fort from Fortnite, this structure would be useful for defending things like fuel cells or hacking stations.
A cool movement ability could also be added in the form of a “jump pad” similar to that of octane’s from apex legends. You could change the direction/angle of your jumps to get accurate mobility across cave terrain.
These abilities would also take longer to build hence the “Builder” name but this would balance out how useful they could be for Dreadnaught arenas or the other events I’ve mentioned.
A personal idea I'd like to see in the game is a new mission type where you have to venture into a linear cave that's been hit by a high-value cargo ship by the company. In here it would have a regular cave generation with bits of the ship strewn across with different defense mechanisms that the players would have to work through and disable. After a few safety features are manually disengaged and power is restored or whatever the players make it to the final room having, here they would have to recover some experimental super-weapons. Once they've been taken by the dwarves, the drop pod comes back to the starting room, and all the ship parts self destruct, opening up the cave. A super swarm that's something like an extra hazard harder with double spawns or whatever would then come in that lasts until all the dwarves either leave or die. How would they get back to the drop ship? By fighting through with the super-weapons.
I think this mission would have a very tense first half of the mission with a fun and explosive finish, kinda like the drilldozer mission.
Something that ive had an idea about for a bit is like one overclock of each type for the grenades or things like gunners shield or engies platform gun, i doubt this will happen but imagine like a cluster grenade with double the cluster but half the ammo
i feel like the water biome thing could work as maybe a anomaly or hazard the player can sometimes encounter on missions
I don't think adult dreadnoughts will ever join the dreadnought hunt mission. That said, it could be a thing for a boss-focused mission akin to industrial sabotage. You have to defeat a single much more powerful dreadnought. Maybe it'd be defending a nest or somesuch, and your job is to get in there and take out the queen. It'd attack you a couple of times as you gradually make your way closer, each time retreating after taking a certain amount of damage.
I would like shooting range with static bugs where you can select type of bug so you could test your modifications and overclocks much faster against different types of enemies
Earned a sub with this vid, bro. Very good work!
I feel like a couple of the ideas in this video could work together pretty well
Like the idea of bigger adult dreadnaughts could work on a surface biome with the justification of "they're too big to fit in the caves" or something similar. I do think that it would have to be a one off kind of mission though, like where the surface biome is only used for those giant boss fights. Maybe as the end of a deep dive or something. I think they'd have to give some sort of reason why it's not selectable as a normal mission.
also I agree with the point of a medic being too powerful to be an option as a fifth class (covered pretty well in the video as an auto-pick for every mission), but I think it could be more than reasonable to have a 5th class that focuses on melee combat. I think getting the balance right on a class like that could potentially be pretty difficult, but it seems a lot more likely than having a medic class. The biggest problem that I see with a melee class would be how to get them to fit in with the rest of the team though. most of the other classes tend to synergize well with each other (by design obviously), and i think a melee class would be very easy to wander off and try to do lone wolf stuff with, which kind of kills the cooperative element of the game. Maybe having the class be weaker in combat, but able to give buffs to the other members would work, but it seems like you would need to re-balance all of the other classes to work with it.
6:29, there is a content mod that adds these, called drg re-forged(sadly it broke via the november maintanance update changes as of commenting this) they are basically larger dreadaughts and the mode is called raid. theres also swarm reworks that include minibosses with health bars including a reworked opressor, a cyber opressor and a nemisis glyphid sadly of course they completely rebalance and rework the dworves like you said
2:35 I can imagine melee being viable if the devs took a page from Vermintide/Darktide and make melee weapons hit hard and fast, at the obvious expense of range. No fancy shmancy stuff like parrying or countering, just pure dwarven strength vs. glyphid face. Even at higher difficulties enemy damage could be mitigated if the player is still active enough to avoid getting completely surrounded and targeting hordes of weaker fodder while the ranged players focus on the big angry boys further away.
If they combined your shield idea from 8:05 with a secondary weapon that was like a greataxe or something, that would already be an interesting way to allow the gunner to cleave away at a horde while, say, his gun is cooling down, or to provide an opportunity to recover in a tunnel or deal extra damage without getting chewed apart.
In the same vein, I think specific melee weapons should be restricted to specific classes, like maybe Scout having twin daggers he can use to stick to surface to prevent fall damage, engineer having a large rocket hammer that can be slammed down to blow bugs back, and gunner having a greatsword or greataxe as mentioned before. Other melee items could be maces, spears, brass knuckles, powered gauntlets/gloves, claws, etc. The only class that probably shouldn't get a melee weapon is driller, since he carries throwing axes and his drills already act as melee in the game (which can also already be upgraded to deal more damage) though maybe that's just me trying to avoid redundancy.
Each melee weapon could also be upgraded just like the guns, which different parts affecting things like swing radius, reach (aka the weapon's range), types of damage, etc. along with bonus upgrades the guns can't provide like jump distance or run speed when equipped.
Of course this is all daydreaming at this point so whatever
4 v 4 mode where people compete to complete the mission as fast as possible, and gold can remove some of your time off the clock or smth
The melee system made chance, we had one shooting for a while with melee and that flat out got removed fully
I think a good a idea would be an event that would sometime appear on the mission scanner, where you would hunt down a caravan-esk type of army being lead by some sort of glyphid queen or adult dreadnaught, an event would seem better so it wouldn’t be all the time
Ey! Your videos are very entertaining.
Also, have you considered adding timestamps for videos like this one?
Shooting range lets you test gun feel, ideal maximum DPS, how it compares with your other builds, etc... It doesn't matter if the gameplay has different scenarios and enemy type when there are so many other reasons to use it. Besides, player will always lean towards the easiest possible solution, so instead of letting them experiment with builds on their own, you're just encouraging them to look up builds from other people before starting a mission.
The wide spread use of the Utility Sandbox mod is a testament to how beneficial it could be if an official shooting range is added to the game.
For the 5th player slot, there is a sandbox mod which allows that to happen.
I once had a dream of a beach level in DRG, it wasn't in a cave it was on the surface of a new planet.
I feel like adult dreadnaughts (which I’m gonna take a wild guess they’re gonna be called titans) would probably be some thing that would be added in “rogue core”
I think a melee gun could be interesting, like an axe that doubles as a shotgun or whatever. Idk if they do plan on adding any more weapons, but if they do I think they should probably be really creative and change up the class so much that they’re worth existing.
Maybe not full water cave, but just some small pudles (chest level water) and some small waterfalls, just to add on atmosphere
Maybe ghost ship will add sometime a new type of mission that you can complete only once at a period of time (once a week, like the deep dives), but it will have very specific circumstances
I just want to use perk points for another thing, I've way too many just kinda gathering dust. After you unlock every perk available there's no reason to have them
I believe fighting an adult dreadnoughts could be a reality. To argue around the point “it wouldn’t be balanced be and hard for the devs to make” is kinda a moot point considering adding anything at all would be hard to balance. Stingtails are a prime example. Just imagine a whole mission dedicated to hunting down a single adult dreadnought that roams around the map periodically. An easy way to force a prolonged mission would having the dreadnought dig out with I-frames and go to another section of the cave once you hurt it enough(let’s just say 1/3 it’s health bar each time). You could make a level kinda like a morekite mission, but instead of gathering morekite you’re chasing down a apex predator to its den. And a good way to keep it interesting would have variants of the dreadnoughts we have now. An example: hiveguard, it now has hoards of guards spawning and it’s crit spots are constantly out, it’s much harder to get to because the guards don’t stop coming after you. Of course this will have a host of problems with balancing but all because it’s hard doesn’t mean it’s not a good idea, and it’s lore accurate considering they’ve mentioned the ones we’re hunting are young ones.
I think something that would be really cool to see would be more movement and utility tools because we only have the one per class and I know that it’s like really distinct for class identity but it would just be cool to see more I think.
What about subclasses? so classes could also switch out theyre support tools and such for other tools like for example Engineer could switch out his turret for a dispenser that automatically heals everyone in the Area
i didn't even thing about it but i'd love to have food to order at the bar. not even just food that gives buffs but like the regular drinks that add nothing but some random fun and hangout potential
like maybe a small bowl of nuts or one of those big soft pretzels. maybe get some more expesive things like a burger, hotdog, and/or sandwich just to add to that (dwarvs love the bar) feeling
Also since this is a Deep Rock "Idea" video (or well a "ideas that wont be" video) I have a weapon concept I've been holding onto until I flushed it out more (and until I conceived 3 other primary ideas to spread them among classes)
Meet Driller's new elemental primary: Tesla Arc Emitter
-Fires out electricity emperor palpatine style
-Electricity chains between targets with less damage & less electrified status effect duration based on number of chains (base of ~6 chains, longer chain means slower drop-off to prevent a 9th chain from doing 1 damage and no status effect)
-Electricity status is applied/reset every tick of damage and acts as normal
-Reloads similarly to shard diffractor but slower and is able to be interrupted & reloads while unequipped (fancy for a heat meter without an overheat, may need one though for balance)
-Electricity chains to the closest non electrified enemy within ~6m of hit enemy (or if all available targets are electrified it chains to closest enemy)
Potential modifications include
-Ammo based: Stored Electricity capacity, electricity recharge rate, maximum electricity
-Basic mods: Rate of fire, electricity range (& chain distance)
-Damage based: More direct damage, better status effect/damage transfer between enemies
-Electricity based: Longer chain, longer DOT
Special last tier modification:
-Super Charged Electricity: Greater direct damage, chance to stun with direct damage (~10%)
-Crippling Wattage: Much longer status duration, Increases the slowdown of the electricity status effect
Potential overclocks:
Clean
-More Volts: Slightly faster recharge, more ammo
-Stronger Electricity: Some more direct damage, more DOT damage
Balanced
-Electric Conduit: Greatly increased chain length, longer DOT, much less direct damage
-Amplified Conductivity: Each time the chain is passed from one bug to the next, it has a chance to spawn an additional short lived chain (~20% for an extra chain of ~3 length to split off and zap more bugs, but, the additional chain cannot spawn additional chains), however direct damage and ammo both go down
Unstable
-Electro Magnetic Pulse: Pressing R will deplete all currently available electricity to do slight damage, stun all enemies (who can be stunned), and apply electrified status within 10 meters with stun duration scaling with ammo used (not a very long stun, simply an escape card) however it prevents electric recharge for ~2 seconds after use
-Heart Stopper: Greatly increased direct damage, greatly increased DOT damage, fires out 5 chains of electricity (shotgun style) each pulse instead of 1, but greatly reduced chain (either to ~2 or no chain at all), much less DOT duration, and a bit less ammo
Please give me feedback so I can improve the idea and also share some weapon ideas so I can try to balance them as well and fully flush them out.
Bumping an older video but I loved your video here and wanted to comment on it. I've only had DRG for maybe a week at most now and yeah, sure this stuff probably won't be added, but that is alright as like you mentioned. The game is balanced in a way that makes it perfect to play. I know that for Season 5 I think they did say that yes, they are going to add a new biome. What it will be we don't really know yet and of course they announced the new sub-franchise game, Rogue Core. Season 5 was also pushed quite far back and, not that I really need quote on quote "new content" at this stage, but I did complete all the Rockpox related assignments with only having the game for a week...seems kinda sad to have it completed so quickly and not really anything change for the main bulk of gameplay as Rockpox still exists in missions either way with no way of disabling or removing it from them.
The "Massive Content Revise" mod, which I've not actually played with yet either but have downloaded, shows that quite a lot can be changed with the game in general, even just via modding. More mods like this that either add new or change existing content, at least to me, would provide endless hours of new and interesting gameplay for us to have & enjoy. The main thing I realized with playing the base game is that...missions get samey after a while even with all the anomalies in each mission you can and WILL have. What I mean is, I get the thought/feeling of "ugh, another salvage mission" or "ugh, another elimination mission", aka, insert mission here at times with it potentially getting old after a certain amount of times of you doing it. At this stage, no amount of anomalies or variables can refresh my taste for either a mission type or just any mission type in general for me to not mind playing a specific mission type over and over. Basically, to me, they need a way other then good or bad anomalies to spice up missions every once in a while. How they'd do that...well idk at this point.
The modding community like I said has the ability to fill in quite a bit as my word, modding is endless possibilities with what people can and do come up with. It would be the community at that point really pushing the game forward and not so much weight put on the devs for each season. Modding is, at least in my humble opinion, what really can drive a community forward into the future. It already has done with for me with games like Factorio, Transport Fever 2, heck even Minecraft.
i think they are keeping adult dreadnaughts for rogue core as a final boss or a boss in each level
What I really want is to be able to put the back of chasmborne cliffhanger pickaxe on the front blade because it looks like an axe it would look sick
Oh all those, I want to see food in the abyss bar the most. (Other than crossplay) they did have the sausage beer for octoberfest, so maybe we will see it someday?
It's really minor but what I really want is weapon kits for the lok1 smart rifle it literally has none besides the supporter and decontamination one. I'd love to see steel brigate or builders choice on it
tbh i dont think a medic would be necessary because theres red sugar and resubs as well as the fact that gunner shield quickly recovering shields unless they naturally get field medic or a revive bot or a healing bubble
I think a 6 or 8 dwarf super deep dive werr you fight a fully grown drednoight at the end would be really cool
About the adult dreadnoughts I feel It would be a way for them to add them is them being a raidboss
