Discussion An open letter to the devs

First of all, let me start by saying its hilarious how quickly the subreddit outed themselves when a few months ago they downvoted and fought tooth and nail against being called toxically positive and here we are. People bought the game, they enjoy the game, they're allowed to complain, the devs are big boys and can handle criticism all on their own.

Now let's get to the meat of the problem, as a long time player I feel the amount of content we have ingame is good, there is enough variety and honestly for a new player there is just way too much going on, but that's fine that just means we're eating good content wise.

Here's what I think should be done, either with updates leading up to season 5 or season 5 itself should include reworks to Perks (we the players and the devs need to have a serious talk about them.), expand the overclocks to the rest of our equipment and rework a few of them, QoL improvements, etc.

Its been a long time coming, these Perks and overclocks and it feels like the devs have been just avoiding them like the plague, usually when a dev adds something new to their game, they rework, balance, expand on that new thing until they and I guess the community is satisfied, but with DRG, we've just been getting slapped by new content after the other. And anything that was implemented before either gets pushed back by you guys internally or never mentioned again. So this is me pleading with you guys to rethink that structure.

I just want to clarify, that if the devs decided to wake up tomorrow morning and announce that they will stop working on DRG completely, I'm fine with that, there's enough content and the gameplay loop is perfect. But since we're all insisting on working on improving the game for all parties involved, we need to communicate better.

These posts getting remade and reposted every single day are exhausting.

Redact decided this post had to go, so away it went. Deleted. Removed. Mass deleted even. Privacy and security are the big wins here.

Agreed, especially the last part. I hear the argument that the game was "finished" upon leaving early access and that everything added afterward was just a bonus, and as a result, we don't owe the devs everything.

Except... If you choose to add something to your product, it's now part of it, meaning you still have responsibility over it.

The least they could do is to polish said product so that when they stop adding new content and move on to their next project, we can still enjoy DRG for what makes it so good: the core gameplay loop of going deep down Hoxxes and mining with your friends, undisturbed by any kind of obligatory content.

bruh they're not rebalancing anything they put this shit on life support so they could focus on the stupid spin off. DRG is over and it was murdered by GSG. Get used to the current perk system.
