Well I was apprehensive uploading this video as It's the least amount of editing i've ever put into one. But it's been a great response with tons of great ideas in the comments. It's nice to know that the community feels the same way. You get a little burnt out late game and could really use something to spice it up. I shouldn't have used the button "b" as the example as that is your flares, sometimes I just say things off the top of my head, not sure if you can tell or not. A great suggestion in the comments was both left and right bumper, I love this as it would feel more like your throwing the dwarf. Most importantly to the point of this video is "easy changes" I believe that is very important as GSG already has roadmaps and plans. We also can never know what "easy changes" truly are, what might seem easy to us, could actually be very difficult and not worth the time for the DEVS. I realise this and accept it fully before I even made this video. Maybe a few years ago these would have been easy, but now it just might not be the case. However with that said, if there is anything that is simple, and makes for more fun over all. It should be considered. A few things here, Firstly regarding the ammo lock, I suggest this be similar to when people choose for no dwarf duplication when late joining. Just a choice. Not for everybody. Simply just don't join those games. If the host is down you should be able to call it without any request required. Chances are, if this is infuriating you, then your the type of person this mechanic is made for. Trigger happy ammo callers who use their entire clip on 1 grunt and then double dip. If I CHOOSE to host a mission with the option for people NOT to do this, then what's the problem. Just don't join those games. Personally I have plenty of friends that don't do this however when you play with randoms its extremely common for them to do this and can actually cause the mission to fail due to the entire teams DPS falling. I've experienced it enough to include it in this video, and others haven't so that's why the choice to do this is important. It is for people that have PTSD from this happening constantly. Secondly regarding the damage dealt. I really think some of you need to look at this in a different way. Damage doesn't mean meta or kills at all. This is FPS mentality at its best. And all these meta deep rock videos aren't helping. A lot of builds in deep rock are team builds, like slowing everything down with the sludge pump while everyone else kills the enemies. Or any crowd control AOE build where they may not even get the kills, they just want to put damage out on things. This is where damage dealt can validate people who have a low kill count, but a high damage. To say that this makes people more toxic is the same logic as kills making people more toxic. Take away kills and nobody can compare stats. What about the people with low kill counts that look like they haven't done anything when in reality they were helping so much with tons of damage? Let's be real guys, games have included damage dealt for decades now, and if people are toxic about it then thats a fault on them. People are already being toxic on builds in a non competitive PVE game. That's no fault of the devs. Thats stupid FPS mentality that people bring with them to this game and it simply doesn't belong. Since this will still likely be a hot topic for people I would just suggest a recent stats button where you can only see your own. But the idea that this somehow ruins the game? maybe i'm just old but it's never ruined other games. Thirdly, I am happy to hear the equipment overclock suggestion is well received. With the exception of the argument from the Devs that "it would change the function the equipment is supposed to do" well simply just don't make the overclock have that function? it really is very simple, the flares don't stop being flares if they ping for minerals or enemies. It still lights up the room. I mean I have pretty decent understanding of game balancing, since I've witnessed all the perks and things that GSG have changed over the years. I would argue that they are very good at it as well, some of the best. This game is very well balanced. But to dismiss the overclocks completely in fear of that? No, you could make more paint jobs for all the equipment, and overclocks that only EMPHASIZE the basic function. The lights for the scout are used to find minerals and enemies, sending out a ping only helps. If there is something that does throw off the balance then remove it. Also this is a pve game after all, fun should be the goal here, this competitive mentality is a new thing for deep rock that's never been an issue before all the call of duty players started playing this game. Fourth, I said korosite and its actually the ebonite events 🙈 I was referencing. Fifth, I had an entire 3 minutes dedicated to the 5th class talk going on in this game. I deleted it because i wasn't really sure how this video was going to be received (got hate from reddit as usual) and I wanted to make it shorter. Another reason why i deleted it is because of how incredibly difficult and how many hours it would take for them to do that. All those overclocks, animations, balancing. However if for some miracle it was to be done, This is my thoughts: A female dwarf with a smaller Bosco (let's call it Rosco for now) It comes with 2 charges that she can choose to heal, or revive from a distance. Rosco would also double as a jetpack for her to get around. Again this would be a bit much to create and defeats the purpose of the video. So my suggestion would be to make a female dwarf body cosmetic so any dwarf can be a female. with a ton of new feminine cosmetics to go with it. Six, I think this game needs to really up their cosmetics seeing as how that's all we are obtaining now n days. I like the idea of a new cosmetic kind of like aura or something that emits from the dwarves. For the gunner he would have a smoke trail from his cigar and gun that would trail behind him, the scout would have gold nuggets falling out (not real nuggets that fall out but just the animation when he is running) The engineer would have springs and bolts falling behind him, and the driller would have maybe a pet swamer following him. Then you add about 3 more for every dwarf. On top of that, you change the cosmetic system so instead of just picking a color scheme, you pick what parts of the dwarf have the specific color available that your choosing. So instead of the accents being blue, I can make the primary blue, and the accents black. It would be based on the color cosmetic offered. Seven, another Idea I didn't add because I don't think it would be as welcomed, is lives. That's right, a new mode where you have lives. Or instead, you can no longer revive, but grab their dog tag and revive them at a station that you have to find later in the mission. This one is not going to be for everyone but for the hardcore players, this could add a whole new exciting way to play the game. Perhaps some sort of Elite Deep Dive but only 1 long mission with lives, or no revives, only at designated stations. Either or. (obviously this is a high level player thing but it would be interesting) Perhaps a new mission type all together. Eight, I didn't mention this because its not necessarily "easy" to make. But new warnings and modifiers would be welcomed. Imagine regenerative grabbers? like a bunch of them, or double nitra missions for low ammo builds for lots of fun. I mean the list goes on. But again this isn't "easy" and if we are just coming up with anything here then I have a big enough imagination to come up with stuff way better then this list. Like an entire story campaign as you craft the space rig, console by console with a Karl DLC. However this is supposed to be "easy" upgrades, not difficult ones. (the devs already got things planned out) Lastly, the wave based testing mode is actually something they should have done years ago, why? because then you can test all of these things out. They could have literally had the community game testing new mechanics or ideas out in this mode. What better way to get a lot of data really quick then to release something new and have all the players test it in the wave based mode before adding it to the actual game. Thanks for all the likes and comments, you guys really are the best community ever.

The statues and loot piles reminds me of the prestige system in Hades. It's purely cosmetic and a resource dump for end game players with all of the upgrades from the rest of the game

The matrix core suggestion is so fantastic. Custom Missions sound like a blast. Overclocks on gear also would be godlike. An overclock on the grapple that lets me break my legs even faster and more recklessly would be so sick.

for the gunners mega shield, it should stick on him, reducing his movement to like 50% or even 25%. it’ll prevent cheesing while making the gunner have a cooler support aspect.

#11 A FIRING RANGE IN THE SPACE RIG

my addition wishlist is this: 1. Ziplines can connect to each other, (whether this be an overclock mechanic or overhaul to existing ziplines) and let players ride them end to end, switching lines at connection points automatically 2. More dwarf-to-dwarf mobility (i really like the dwarf-tossing concept!) 3. things to spend resources on OTHER than overclocks, whether that's more cosmetics or something completely new. 4. MORE BEERS! 5. bedroom / bay customization, i do like the space rig cosmetic ideas, but i think starting with more personal areas to the player would be wise. you could swap out the terminal in each bay with a little multi-use shop that lets you buy posters, knick-knacks, and maybe swap the lighting.

loadout drops is an interesting concept but i feel like that would be insanly OP.

Idk if management would appreciate piles of gold/statues all over the rig. Might be too messy. But maybe management could make have a event to add a new “trophy room” For the dwarfs nick-nacks.

So... Regarding the pinned comment, specifically the Damage Dealt stat. My issue with this comes down to a concern of how it's intended effects risk unintended negative effects, too. While yes, everything added always has this chance, I think it's a bit more clear on how it could happen with this, specifically. You're right about it validating players with low kills but high damage through crowd control-type builds that slow and soften up targets that are then killed by someone else. You're also right that it's not the devs fault that some players are toxic about post-game stats. However, I think it's worth noting that not having as many of these in post-game screens helps curb that toxic mentality by giving those sorts of players less room to belittle their team, as they have less information that can then be used in a toxic manner. On top of that, it runs the risk of adding a more competitive feel to the game. That's something that I don't think would be good for DRG, with it's design being around team cooperation rather than competition. This being something that I think ties into why we don't have more post-game stats visible, when it clearly could have been implemented much earlier. Humans in general have this nasty competitive side to them, one that is easier to bring out the more you indicate to them how their performance is measured. I think, if we're going to have that in DRG, it should be something the players actively seek out, rather than having the game itself give this feeling of pitting players against each other through gauging who did how much on any given team. At least, having the game do that as little as possible. I suspect this is the same reason why live stat trackers, damage numbers and similar things are mods and not base game features.

I want a vote feature for calling drop pod... It's frustrating when you have 1 early caller, but 3 people wanna get secondary Objective!

A seeded wave mode would be so great! There could be a leaderboard refreshing every week or month with a new seed, bringing new challenges. The idea of a big vault where you could pile up all your goods and stuff would be really cool too.

It would be cool if they slowly but surely introduced more story elements and maybe full on story campaigns you can do with a group of friends. I can see a lot of potential for that. Could be an entire quest series of finding Karl, or a series about the precursors of this planet and all those error cubes.

Yeah I'd really like equipment overclocks. Especially for engineer because I feel like there's so much potential, especially whenever I see those large pre-placed sentries on Point Extraction. There could be support sentries which don't do much damage but inflict more statuses, a sentry which has all 500-600 ammo in it at once but takes forever to setup, sentries on wheels that follow you around or go over to designated marker points like Bosco, etc. I'm sure there's also many creative possibilities with the platform gun aswell. The problem is that the devs are aware the equipment OCs idea exists, but have previously spoken out against it citing that players would be toxic to other players who aren't using the "meta". I don't really understand this reasoning as the 1% of people who actually care already do that with the "non meta" weapon OCs.

One update to tutorial Resuply is 80 nitra Has a friend play it and I don't remember seeing it at all

now go and tell about it to devs - i love all of it. i have level 890 and dont know what to do with all res... - and always we have mods

Equipment over locks 100% would add sooooo much to the game. Now that each class has 3 primary and 3 secondary weapons I feel like this is a big possibility

I would love to have deep dive style missions (double main objective) as normal missions, i enjoy that a lot

Dwarf toss is a fantastic idea. I hope the devs watch this video.

Honestly I'd really really love to see support tool cosmetics, I really want to customize engis sentries

Right now there’s no reward for promoting to Legendary III rank. Would love if they add more cosmetic reasons for the grind. Maybe an example would be a subtle aura/glow around the characters model that’s visible in missions? This gives you another way to brag about your rank. ;)

voting for a resupply would be a pretty cool option

Well, I tell you what, I love Deep Rock Galactic, it is my favorite thing at the moment (not just game), but I haven't really been able to play it for the last month due to my busy schedule. I've really only been able to play video games in 45 minute-1 hour stretches at a time, and since Deep Rock Missions can sometimes take longer than that, I've really only been playing this game called Dauntless. Now that school is over, that problem should dissapear, and I'll be able to contribute to the player counts as much I was able to in April and May.

1. I wish there was a massive but reasonably expensive upgrade at the Abyss Bar that basically allowed you to buy any Daily Special beer at any time. Or if not that, perhaps have an option to spend some of your brewing ingredients to reroll the Daily Special. 2. Inspired by what you said about mission customization (and pre-planning options from Payday 2), I wish there were humorous options you could spend resources on to spice up your next mission, such as spending an ample sum of gold to put guns on Molly, give Doretta an armor upgrade, or perhaps have a slightly different version of Bosco. 3. Flare upgrades would also be nice; perhaps increasing the maximum amount carried, their brightness, or the recharge rate.

The arena thing would be great, and the equipment overclocks is something I thought about and I think it's the next step the game should take for Season 3 since adding more weapons would feel kinda lackluster for now imo. The minerals thing could be something like Payday's 2 vault where the more money you have the fuller your vault looks, although what you suggested is more customizable which is nice. I also thought of adding a 5th class but that one is really dicey, I just think adding a new class would be the thing that changes the game the most, but it will also affect balancing the most, and the devs don't seem too thrilled about adding more classes. Also like a monthly raid were you go fight a Glyphid or Mactera Queen or something, and then the damage dealt is shared for everyone else playing, like your typical Server wide boss, but the rewards would have to be something special idk, maybe a unique skin for a weapon, it could also be a good time to implement guilds properly

I love the idea of overclocks for equipement so ill just drop a few here Gunner: Zip line now allows you to dash through not matter the angle but you must dash through. The entire length of it/zip lines now can be thrown at an angle of up to 75° although movement speed is reduced all throught/zip lines can now be way longer (clean) Shields now no longer provide shelter but actually give a damage boost and are red for dramatic effect/shield is now on a cooldown and not on a charge base becoming permanent yet destructible/shields now release an electric shock all around themselves Driller: C4 now very big boom/many smaller boom/elemental boom Drills now consume more fuel to drill terrain but deal extra damage to enemies (comes with extra fuel)/drills damage to enemies is reduced significantly but are now way faster at mining terrain/drills can now mine minerals Engineer: Platform gun can now "draw" platforms with a beam instead of single shots/platforms now damage enemies walking through them/platforms now become jumpy and will act like a trampoline Scout: Hook has now a windup and acceleration (a lot slower at the beginning but on a long hook will give you tons of speed)/hook can now hold 2 charges/hook can now grapple enemies and bring them toward you Loved your ides for the flare gun, would love to se some semipermanent flares tho

Overclocks for tools is an idea i had not so long ago, it was for grappling hook : This would be an unstable overclock Cons- now you can accelarate momentum depending on position and distance from grappled ground. Now scout instead of going in a straight line he would go into a swinging movement. Cooldown is way shorter. Cons - grappling hook no longer cancells a fall and Has a shorter range. This would result in spider-dwarf.

I once saw someone suggest a room where you could cutomise the Drop Pod & Honestly that sounds amazing If you're host then you can costomise the main drop pod & everyone in your game can see it & if you're joining a game you can customize the mini Drop-Pod you deploy with can be customised as well.

I NEED a double nitra mission mod! Would significantly shake up weapon balance for one mission and let people go hog wild every now and then :)

Everything sounds great with exception to ammo locking. Just doesn't feel right, even if it "prevents" bad ammo plays.

i think being able to call down a weapon locker of sorts would be great for deep dives in case a player wants to switch out a weapon/loadout

Archived deep dives have always been on my mind,....like,....they should be a thing

Using blank matrix cores to add specific mutators and anomalies sounds perfect.

I would LOVE to see glowing platforms as a oc/upgrade

Would be neat if the error cubes you extracted had a chance to end up on the space rig, tucked away in hidden areas

Oh boy, i love the idea of haz 6 only perks, in fact I tought overclocks could only be used in deep dives because of how OP some of them looks

6:40 Totally agree on that one! I've been stacking gold lately helping my green beard friends, but I have nothing to spend it on now! I want a huge Scroudge-McDuck-style vault to fill it with gold!

A creature gallery that uses gold and minerals to make the statues, they'd be super expensive and require a number slain to construct. Higher tiers requiring even more investment and kills (encounters for passive creatures). So a Diamond tier Dreadnaught or something would be absolutely incredible to achieve/see.

the sudden player drop is unnatural . i don't play coop in DRG . so from what i heard the servers were having problems . the player number seem to be stabilized . That being said . i actually like those ideas . especially the scout flare mineral rader and loadout resupplier .

As a lvl 240 (550 in the game) I still need a ton of gold and minerals, havent missed out on a single ore, from what i can remember. Still love your suggestions, many sounds cool

Other ideas would be platforms that glow, or even the gunner zip line gets a small turret or it can glow... Light is a huge issue in the game and only the scout can light up large areas of a cave. I REALLY like your ping idea for the flare gun. Also... I want a poker table in the rig. I think it would be an amazing add, wouldn't be TOO hard to do, and you could allow dwarves to bet with the ingame money or minerals.

most of everything you want to eat on PC through mods)) and the choice of missions, and new modifiers and overclocks and animations :) it's a pity that mods are not available on consoles😢

For starters, you can't toss a dwarf! That just crazy! A lot of suggestions you gave would changes the hart of the game imo... This community is one of the nicest know to man! The help you get when you're still new to the game is amazing, even from the seasoned player's. There really doesn't have to be extra aid for these noobs. The others can carry them just fine like they been doing from day one. And the minute you implement a best damage score to compete for you'll ruïne everything and make the game just as toxic as so many out there. The lack of competition and the joy of teamwork must remain untouched! Please! This makes the game do amazing. I agree that the use of resources to pimp the space rig sounds great. But it doesn't fit the lore. The resources go to the company. It's not yours. Just like the space rig isn't yours. Pimp the hell out of your room if you want to. The company wouldn't care. And the big contrast to the embarrassment of the general state of the space rig will make it even stand out more. And a golden pick axe. That needs some more work. But I see where your going with this. Good post. Keep it coming. Rock and Stone!

Just pull a warframe and make the individual player rooms bigger, customizable, and load in when they connect to a host.

Two of those suggestions have been suggested over and over and adressed by the devs in the past: Damage done on end mission screen: They don't want to add something like this cause it might cause toxicity, where someone things the other player hasn't contributed enough. Tho personally I would like such a feature, since it would make evaluating elemination builds and tactics much easier. Overclocks for equipment: They want people to be able to expect what a mobility tool of a player can do without knowing that players build. So the oveclocks would have to be rather minor and not as pronounced as with the weapons. I still think they could make something work tho.

I would really love customization in your dwarfs room, as in small trinkets, figures, flags, posters etc. on the shelves and walls that you can place in specific spots and are unlocked for any number of advancements. Use the computer in your room on the desk for the interface.

Having a system that gives you rewards for helping unprompted dwarves would be really cool roo

Man, the ideas are dope. It's just incredible how many more things can be added to the game. As it currently is, the game itself is definitely not boring, don't get me wrong, but just imagine if every few months we got similar ideas implemented. That's a lifetime subscription for me right there. They'll keep me hooked until I grow a gray beard.

Add housing. Easy fix. Each host has his own space rig to decorate which other players can explore

a map editor + functionality to share custom created maps would be sick for the longevity of the game. probably a lot of work though. I hear there are a lot of calls for baked in twitch support as well, which I imagine would make it easier for new players to keep coming to the game.

Great ideas and video :)

I want mini mule as 2nd Bosco. Added another perk for engi turret like fire or gatling high fire rates. Able to bring Bosco in multiplayer? Maybe. Ammo supply with turret on top or shield around it with cap ammo/duration.

The expensive statue idea actually sounds great.

Ngl I would also love Mobility Weapon clocks as well. Imagine different clocks for the platform gun that change the shape of the platforms. As an example, a clean clock that turns your platforms into walls instead, so you could block entrances or build quick cover. Or another platform gun clock could be an unstable that makes your platform gun spray out plastecrete in a stream, having the clock give an insane ammo boost, but causes the gun to rapidly drain ammo and become somewhat difficult to control. Another kind of mobility clock I could think of is for the Scout's grappling hook, which could be an unbalanced that lets you both reel yourself in and repel yourself down, but in doing so slightly lowers the rate the grapple hook moves you. Maybe you could also throw in an unstable/clean that lets you swing with the grapple instead of reeling you for fun so the scouts that run hover M1 and homebrew powder DB can have the time of their lives Lol. Edits: Lots of grammar mistakes

a survivor mode with infinite wave and enemies have a chance to drop nitra/ or spawn hulli horder/a bunch of loot bugs etc not just regular enemies

These are REALLY good ideas good job!

1, 8, 9. Would love to maybe see the rest, but these three are an easy YES. They only add and should be easy to implement (not that I actually know how hard it would be to make) into the game. Your point of an 3000 level dwarf practically having a palace that others would only dream of be soooooo sick. Nothing but the best, for managements finest. ROCK AND STONE!!

I think it would be neat to have something like a Scrooge McDuck loot room on the space rig; it would just be a chest deep pool of gold and minerals with a slow effect so it feels like you're wading through it.

They need to add some late-game content, make it very difficult (much more difficult than Haz5.5, as this is already too easy if you have a decent team), but make it give unique rewards or something really powerful. Think of raids from Division or Destiny.

i agree with the spending of cores and havong ocs for equipment

So that wave mode with the leader board. You could have that cost minerals and then people would always need to grind them to play the ranked survival mode.

wonderful suggestions

Amazing ideas. We NEED to get this in DRG!!!!!!!!!!

Great ideas - thank you !!!

To be fair, I like the idea of being able to customize the base. Not like I have plenty of minerals available but as you've mentioned. Imagine a player with a level that is over 9k!! The part on maybe having overclocks for equipment like the flaregun or drills or whatever else there is... I think this might have a chance to put the game out of balance. Simple example as you gave in the video... like with gunners shield... people could cheese through the stage with doretto once it enters the second fase with those rocks falling down... I do like the idea of having OC's for equipment, but the devs will have to be really carefull not to put the game out of balance. Also the survival mode sounds freaking insane!! I've always been a fan of these kind of games where you have nothing else to do than kill and survive and see how long you'll last like Crimsonland for example. Maybe make it co-op or like a VS mode where you can challange a friend and you both get an own cave (which are exactly the same) with the same spawns and see how you both fair against it. Again another cool video from you! Thanx a lot always enjoy your vids. Keep up the good work R&S ⛏️

hidden geodes, with possible elite mobs or boss, so in order to open/mine it you would also spawn a strong enemy or horde

The Deck custamization is just the current cosmetic situation where once they're all baught... there's nothing left to purchase. I'd say not just matrix cores, but also crafting materials be used to make custom missions if you want to help incintivise millionaire dwarves to mine and collect

Equipment OC’s and ESPECIALLY loadout resuplies are something I want so bad in this game

On the topic of customising the space rig, being able to customise your own bay that loads into another player's spacerig when you join would be amazing. Just having small little desk statues like a statue of one of the classes, a small jadiz crystal in a jar, a little drop pod figurine, a miniature barrel etc. would be so amazing. They already have the 4 different bays with different objects inside of them, so being able to customise your own one that you load into when joining would be nice

The blank matrix core use would be fantastic. And an even trade imo

Wave mode/firefight would be awesome!

I’m fairly certain that it’s built into the enigine itself that loadout swaps require a full on reload. That’s the reason there’s no firing range on the space rig

I had an idea to have a bunch of equipment reclamation missions, the missions would draw from a random selection of past players caves, with all the destruction still generated, just with nitra veins being respawned. The goal is solely to extract the equipment and would be a complex set of disassembly and carrying the bits to a collection point. You could do this for the point extraction rig, doretta's chassis and the oil pump rig. And since it's a reclimation mission your team isn't going to be concerned about any mineral collection it'd just award a lot more credits as an incentive if players are low on funding..

As a player coming from Payday 2 and Risk of Rain 2, I would definitely recommend against adding hazard six. Difficulty creep is a real killer in PvE games, and even if it seems like something cool and new, it wouldn't have a positive long term effect. The way I see deep rock, it's weapon system is almost like a naive version of payday 2's where everything technically can be optimized to hit breakpoints, but it's not really necessary and also unpredictable since enemy stats change with player count as well as difficulty. The more difficulties you add, the wider the disconnect becomes between green beards and golden Eclipse 8 players. Sure, having a high skill ceiling is nice, but it's usually not a good idea to have a ceiling so high that only one or two builds per class can actually survive the highest difficulty. In payday 2's case, builds and weapons became more and more powerful yet restrictive, whereas in risk of rain 2's case players became insanely good to the point where they were playing a different game, and became very hard to associate with for newbies on rainstorm. I love both of those games, but the difficulty creep has done something irreversible to them.

Pressing B on a controller throws a flare so throwing a dwarf would have to be something else, maybe both bumpers?

My opinions: 1. I think the only limits to mission selection should be what the game can already make. There should even be the ability to seed the runs using that feature. The only cost being that it's end game and requires a special matrix core only awarded once everything else has been collected. This could also allow legacy dives as well. 2. I think the locked resupplies should be a lobby setting or just not be in the game. I would rather we trust in each other to play the game and punish those who don't. 3. Whether you use hoards or something else, I think a long term money sink could be fun for those who like hoarding. 4. I don't think we should go too far with late game content. I'm currently obsessed with drg, but I want to play other games too. If there are too many interesting features that require 1000+ hours, then I'll burn out and the ending would be bitter sweet. If there is anything that should keep me playing, it should be helping green beards. Instead of having to collect for my sake, I could help someone get to end game. Otherwise, I think that's the best cut off point for the drg experience. 5. I think the game needs to be able to provide all of its content it has made and be self sufficient by the time it goes eol. I think this game deserves to be eternal so when that time comes, the final version needs to have all the content from the past within. As someone who appreciates game archiving, I think we shouldn't loose anything. 6. Why not make new tools for each class? Maybe, there could be a shield like the rival shields that push enemies for gunner. Or a sticky bomb launcher like demoman tf2 for driller. Oh, and a long range flash light like in GTFO for scout.

Equipment Overclock ideas: Bounce Pads Engi's platforms now bounce all dwarves up at equal to impact velocity at the cost of lower ammo & smaller platforms. Multiplast Platforms Breaking a deployed Platform with the pickaxe replenishes 75% of the original platform (when engi does it) at the cost of lower total ammo. Reinforced safety Rope You can't get knocked from the Zipline at the cost of more limited deployment angle and lower ammo. Cargo Line The Zipline can transport an inventory of minerals in a basket across where it can be picked up again at the cost of lower dwarf transportation speed. Buddy Harness The Scout can grab one Teammate at a time with the grappling hook at the cost of range. Tongs Tip The Grappling hook can pick up items (like Aquarqs, Batteries, Fuel Canisters etc) at the cost of recharge time Large Drilltips The Reinforced Powerdrills create a substantially larger hole, but heat up quicker. Trance Lighting Flare gun flares apply a movement speed nerf to most enemies at the cost of burning less bright red and with a flickering effect Efficiency Flares Flare Gun Flares burn noticeably less bright but a lot longer at the cost of lower total ammo. Also I have a concept for the regular Flare's upgrade tree: Tier 1 More Charges Faster recharge Tier 2 Longer Burn brighter core I don't think there should be too many ways to mess with the standard flares because flare management is a core part of the game + the Scout should nonetheless remain the angel of light (so to speak) Btw I only came up with very special Equipment overclocks, of course they should also add more "vanilla" Overclocks, like a massively range boosted zipline or just more ammo more magazine size, you know the drill....

a trainning room would be so fantastic for testing the new stuff you got moving dummies, bigger bulkier dummies, smal fast moving ones flying ones, multiple ones and so much more, it's so annoying to have to load in a mission just to test your brand new oc

You could also make a true rogue-like mode where you keep doing missions while scavenging weapons and creating mishmashed loadouts & upgrades. Do you continue to the next room for more or choose to get out while you can?

Great ideas bro...

Yes for archived deep dives. Go back for those that I couldn't beat

Circle/B is my flare/flashlight button and I think it's the default. That or I've been using it so long there it feels like like it. If you're curious I put salute on R2 because I rarely to never use R2 in game. And I put interact on R3, shoot on R1, and moved secondary to right d-pad.

an april fools race mode where everybody is scout with special powder and have to get the highest amount of kills or mineral winner would get credits depending on how much they did ranging from 500 to 1500 and the rounds would be like 5 mins.

Hitting the nail on the head. 2 mins into the video, my overwhelming thought was: "HAZ6 WHEEEEN??!!??". Having perks only for haz6 knocks it outta the park and takes all the cakes, even the ones that are a lie. Other than that, my mind always wanders to these: -Loadout randomizer -A function to go in a mission with no upgrades, with bonus XP or more creds -A loadout testing-room on the rig (I'm sure many want this one) -Triple warning missions -More beers to unlock (bit you've covered that very well in this video) -More overclocks, or customizable overclocks -and finally... UPGRADES FOR FLAAAAARES!! Keep the content coming amigo. Hope to see you on Hoxxes!

Some great ideas here. Specially the custom mission. But I left the game since season 2 started because: - Massive performance drops and crashes. - I'm sick of the robots.

If the make it possible to grab items while on the Zipline. And if there is no Scout in a Lobby, the others get Flares who last longer and are brighter. If you can choose on the fly, if the Flares stick to the surface or follow the laws of Gravity. I would love that. The Lobby host should get a message if someone calls the Exit Pod. Which can be granted or denied.

Super easy solution to needing a button for requesting a resupply - the clients can call for a resupply as normal and it puts a hologram where they place it, it then notifies the host and if he pressed the resupply button within a set time then it 'accepts' the request and it lands where the hologram is.

Dude you should totally post this to the DRG discord

I would love if DRG have a medieval armor for the dwarves or even a new map area on the planet that have ancient ruins and buildings thats secretly have easter egg info about Karl

Matrix cores for custom missions is a perfect idea. Double XP should absolutely be excluded since new players would be super tempted to use all their cores for that without realizing how important and hard they are to get (at low level). Resource hoards in the space rig is also awesome especially if you could choose where they go. (Personally I'd like to see Phazyonite excluded from hoards and have you gain cosmetic mastery by placing mineral hoards) For "greybeards helping greenbeards" I've got an idea. After finishing the perk tree and promoting every dwarf at least once, you can spend a good deal of perk points to unlock versions of existing perks with the "Karl's" prefix that have buffs for each unpromoted dwarf in the party. "Karl's Will" would give you a free up for each unpromoted dwarf in the party for a max of 3. Same goes for "Karl's Medicine (field medic)", "Karl's Senses (heightened sense) but x2" etc. If you use these perks, you only benefit when your team is under-geared and you never have more charges than the team would otherwise have in total if they had unlocked and equipped the normal versions. Two exceptions though: unpromoted dwarves can technically equip these perks before promoting, unlock all mods for their weapons, and even equip overclocks if unlocked when using a different promoted dwarf, so technically a loophole. But personally I don't think it's that big of a deal, since unpromoteds using IW probably won't use it correctly. Also experienced players looking to exploit this would need at least a group of 3 all in on it to get any benefit at all, and I don't think they'd be willing to sacrifice their promotions forever for the sake of the exploit outside of meme-ing.

I just want an ability to cut off Dreadnough's head and place it in my bloody space rig.

Customizable bedrooms? How many times have you just run out of the bedroom without thinking about it? What if you could move the bed and hang some dlc posters on the wall

8 is a really good idea and a survival mode would be amazing. I was loving it in Left 4 Dead 2. Also I think deep dives, especially elite are not special enough. Elite or even new type of deep dive should have a mission type that you can't do in normal missions, something to make it feel really special.

I think a really big thing you as a veteran player forgets about is new player experience. A lot of the points you make cater to the really veteran greybeards and while that is important, the vast majority of players or people that own the game aren’t at that level. On steam achievements for the game, 87.3% owners completed their first mission (tutorial), 46.3% completed their first assignment, 25.2% promoted any dwarf at least once, 18.3% completed a deep dive, 6.6% completed an elite deep dive, and 2.4% earned a gold promotion. Player retention is important for game’s longevity but so is new player influx. I think the first assignment mission should have more tutorials teaching people small things such it’s polite to only take one resupply when playing with 3 others, what the various unique things like enorl pearls, bitter-gem, condensed gold looks like etc. I also think there ought to be an introduction to the overclocks as well as a test room in the space rig where you can test out overclocks. Lastly, I think you should be allowed to choose the weapon you want the overclock to be rolled on. Say I want hoverclock on scout, I can choose m1000 for scout and roll on the overclocks that way. I have certain builds I really want to try out but I gotta wait for the weekly matrixes as well as hoping I get the right overclocks which is annoying as an intermediate player (I’m currently lvl70)

what are your graphics settings? Also another great video and some really good points

A tower defense style gamemode would be awesome. Building up defenses against endless waves of bugs would be pretty cool imo. They could add the ability to drop in pods for fortifications, buildables, loadouts, and so much more. The possibilities are endless I think

I think that if they add an ammo lock, then the host should be able to see ammo for each item. E.G. A bar for each weapon they have. There should also be an option to automatically grant permission at certain ammo thresholds. 50% on one gun, 50% across all weapons, 50% health, (or 25% with resupplier), etc.

7:51 Me and the boys filling the space rig with Dorettas

I NEED A CEL SHADING TEXTURE PACK OMG

the devs amd modders have stated why haz 6 wont be in the regular mission rotation but i am all for more optional challenges throughout missions and deep doves need a big brother or upgrade

I do hope they come out with some sort of resource dump and endgame beyond EDD in terms of challenge. It gets to the point of "what am I really working on now?"
