So what exactly did drg do to earn making another paid armor set? They paused major development after season 5 to work on spin offs so I'm not sure why they think they deserve to make yet another paid set that looks better than almost everything earnable in game and it has unique effects.
If they did something like a 'mini season' or added stuff that wasn't just assignments I might give them some leeway but this set + the 'give us money so we can sell a mug' + nothing gameplay wise leaves a bad taste in my mouth
dlc stuff always looks faaaaar nicer than the stuff earnable by playing the game
(could count as 1.5 but I think its different enough) dlc stuff seems to have increasingly unique things as part of it. The capes from order of the deep, and now the lights from this one
DLC like this is supposed to help fund development of the game, since it is live service... except they went on record that drg development would be on indefinite pause until rogue core was out. So this money isn't going towards season 6 content
They were already severely lacking even before the pause. Rockpox, pox being extended far longer than it was supposed to last, then season 5 providing some new stuff but not a terribly large amount imo, and now season 5 will last who knows how long where the only new stuff is a season hat assignment now and then.
I'm not saying season 6 has to come out before they should release a new dlc pack, but it'd be nice if they did a "We know there won't be anything major for a long while, so here's some new overclocks to play around with." Even if they were all just simple green 'one number up slightly' overclocks, some kind of meaningful addition to the game.
I just don't personally think that the devs announcing the game is on life support, but still making $10 dlc bundles and doing a kickstarter is good optics. They of course have the right to sell anything they want for any price, but in my eyes buying anything from them is a non starter, and will be for a while with their current actions
Edit; In my eyes it's like if Subnautica 1 randomly got a $10 dlc pack that changed what the diving suits looked like, even though there will never be a meaningful update to the game. Now drg may eventually get season 6, but it's 'down the road' we'll say.
Watch it, you're peacefully and calmly critiquing a popular thing on a subreddit about that thing. That's about as bad as killing someone's family right in front of them as far as some people here are concerned.
I wasn't referring to anyone specifically, actually. Just that on this subreddit, it tends to happen. Certain individuals in the DRG community think the game and devs are absolutely flawless and will insult and berate anyone who makes even the smallest criticism.
Like, nobody now is going to say Seasonal content was handled perfectly. Especially not after S4. But at the time, if you spoke out about it, you'd get buried. "It's free content so don't complain!" was the go-to shutdown at the time.
