so just experienced the new DSS orbital barrage "feature"...

[michaelthered]

is this is a joke? Like how was this not turned off a day later? These developers do not need to be in this industry whatsoever. This is some form of cancer that has infected the gaming industry. Im starting to doubt these people were ever actual gamers. No scratch that im positive they're not after just witnessing the absolute single dumbest game mechanic of my natural life. You can't find anything this stupid even if you go back to the ole 16 and 8 bit days of console games.

Y'all been accusing them of not play testing their new features. I don't think they themselves can, because they're not actual gamers....and apparently don't want to hire anybody that does game testing who would have ofc immediately told them within 30 seconds of playing this new DSS feature, that this isn't workable. Any play tester would have immediately looked at this dev team without saying anything for a bit.....just absorbing the fact these people were actually allowed to put a game out on steam.

Why any of you voted for this piece of game design atrocity to put on lesath is beyond me. That thing will literally kill this game if it's allowed to continue. Nobody will play any planet where this thing is on because it would quite literally be more fun to go reinstall a 10-20 yr old game off your steam list. And this thing is supposed to be crucial to completing our MO's.....

i've just never in my life experienced anything so stupid and ill conceived in a game.....EVER. Nothing comes close. There's a part of me that's starting to suspect AH is just a front for AI game design.....it's not actual devs making these decisions. They're just designing an AI and feeding it input from our gameplay. Honestly no actual human game developer would ever conceive something so stupid.....even a non gaming developer. ANYONE with a functioning brain would take one look at this and this will not work. But there's something going on behind this where they're like not allowed to tell the AI no or something. It's just too preposterous.

It is a joke! But the punchline is reading the forum.

[Tjoma]

Haha planet go boom

[Papa Romeo Victor]

OK, setting aside some of the vitriol and focusing on the subject. Yeah, it's f***ing dumb. I'd rather juggle thermite grenades. At least, then I'd know I did it to myself.

[FatalError]

What's even dumber is all the people that fed the bank to turn it back on.

[LoboFH]

First time for me too in the last match ... I won't dive again in a world with this garbage, what the hell were they thinking when they left this in this state???

[Bane Is A Big Guy]

Lots of sooks about this.

i'd rather watch my character step out of his pod and start onlyfans'ing it infront of the bots with said thermite nades......slowly wedging them up....well...you know where.

Thanks, I hate that mental image.

I tried it again on a solo medium mission just to see if maybe I was too hard on it before. Nah. Sucks. lol
Spent a large chunk of the mission just laying in one spot to limit the chances that I was hit by the barrage and still caught like 3 of em. It did destroy a few outposts somewhere out of sight so theres that I guess. lol
Definitely not trying that on a harder mission.

Don't spend your resources on it and vote for the second or third option to move it.

If nobody fuels it, it's completely useless. Stop Wasting your resources on a suicide button.

[Black Ram]

Whoever donates to planetary bombardment, you're TRAITORS, just like the gunners who KILL ME MORE THAN THE BOTS.

It was poorly thought out, poorly implemented and not tested at all.
I genuinely cannot comprehend how the development team's collective minds work. All of the mistakes they make and for the dumbest reasons. It's like they aren't even human. Genuinely, normal people just don't think this way. I wonder if they're ACTUALLY using an AI to give them ideas. Only a computer could be this stupid.

[Altsovy Zouve]

On one hand the amazing Eagle storm actively targeting enemies, on the other hand this BS that is firing at random. You know what scratch that, firing at random would actually hit the enemy, it's like it's deliberately shooting where there's nothing and somehow exactly where you will be at the same time

[Horny Buggirl]

Well...me and friends made a drinkinggame out of it and it was funny as hell. Till we all wandered away from pc and fell asleep somewhere. xD

hollywoods doing it so why wouldn't the game industry? my other suspicion is that sony has told them to kill it since we wouldn't allow sony into our entire steam profile.
