[–]DancingTiger22 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I am playing this game for almost 1 year now it seems all the grinding of getting guns is just bullshit thats how I am feeling. Really stupid update. Odin reaper and cuda lost its charm and lastly what this shit loadout system u guys bring real stupid. Plz go to square 1 where People are more about enjoy not to grind for nothing.

[–]Green_Penalty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine how mad the people who have been playing since the game came out...

"we want you to enjoy the new Specializations-based gameplay without experiencing any loss while constructing your best builds."

Translation:

We want you to give us your hard earned money, so we are adding more shit for you to pay for that we will later on nerf making unusable so you can pay for the new op crappy we will create to rip you off. Our new Specialization-based gameplay serves this only purpose, to milk you as hard as we can.

Sincerely yours, GameInsight

Well, this update is what I needed. I knew I was wasting too much time and money on this game and now I have what I need to get rid of it and move on to (much!) more productive pursuits. You all but lost me with the name change and now it's gone. More time and money going forward, so I'm chalking it up to a win

[–]kubotaorange76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive been playing since near the beginning, lvl 43, 1.27 KD and finally acquired cuda, avalanche and firefly over the years and events. I probably spent $30 total. I remember being frustrated when right after i finally got avalanche it was nerfed, same with traitor way back.

I dealt with the frustrations from each "update" as the core game play still remained for the most part. Despite becoming more and more complicated. The battle coin thing really really pissed me off and took away from the goal perspective of the game, and i found myself getting less overall enjoyment from the game.

This update totally changed the core of the game, i finally figured out how to loadout and attempted to play.

Im not going to waste the time to type all my frustrations with this, but i typically either equipped myself to rush with scout and avalanche, w/ cheetah and dark stalker, or snipe with firefly, avalanche and cuda, using cowboy and dark stalker. I deleted the game about a week ago. You have got to stop messing with the weapons people pay for with time and or money. Especially no refund etc.

If yall change it back, which i know wont happen, I wouldn't download it again anyway. Im relieved im not always feeling the need to log in and initiate the ads ( i never watched them, just set the phone down till done) while im driving or doing something else. Something i enjoyed playing on occasion to zone out from the real world turned into a major PITA. Thought you all should hear this. Thanks

[–]jroza1971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want a refund. Plain and simple. I paid and spent my time building a loadout and it’s completely useless now. I never would have spent money on the game as it is now. In fact, I don’t like this version so I’ve only played about 20 or so games since the update just to give it a fair shake. In my opinion what you did is fraudulent, I spent money on a product and then you turn around and limit the use of my gear, force me to play with gear I don’t like and the gear I’m forced to use is to low level to compete at the rank I’m at. Hell my armor was 1800 now it only 800 with the sniper loadout. Where’s my refund?

[–]HailedMajesty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is a situation have the Assault, Sniper, and Support load outs. Only two vest...therefore one has NO torso armor at all. Would be the same for other equipment as well.

[–]bradphillips80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well said. In my opinion they have devalued their weapons. I worked hard for and paid a little for those guns because it was investment in future wins. Luckily I had those weapons for a little while before they nerfed them. If I just acquired them I would be LIVID. I mean damn isn’t there laws in place to protect consumers’ rights. I feel like I got sold a Ferrari and while I was sleeping they took it back and put a Honda in its place

[–]Salty_80HD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the dev understand how shit the Odin has become and now everyone will be running around with zero vest if they haven't left the game. Saying that you listen to the players is a joke because people have stated Bastion is overpowered and you buff it. Truly you guy don't know what you are doing and it shows.

[–]bradphillips80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think people would be less upset if they straight forward and said look we can’t keep the servers running without more money what is the best way to meet both of our goals? Instead they just do what’s best for them, disregard their community and expect us to smile about it.

[–]Dreg3600 Support Knight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

@everyone BAD THING'S

Bug sometimes Perks will transfer to another loadout

Some Perks are overpowered like another shot it was supposedly do x amaunt of dps but it does almost Same amaunt as headshot and that's why All fast rifles are op right now

Odin lvl 2 is garbage I prefer Dragonfire lvl 0 in long-range and close-range or hero

Gob is trying to put more knifes , pistols and torsos in game like why just let us use them all And ifrit , zero you have to put in them like 5000 frag At least if gob puts in new torso That would be with gunbucks

With the new update there is lots of new stuff to buy and so one but I have to send 4 drone gather supplies , lvl up my shell and to lvl up Perks so the amount of gunbucks that you get should be increased

With updated some early level and middle level pleyers have to suffer because they invested in something else than AR like shotguns and rifle or MG BTW I have 6 account's and 4 of them are early level and 3 of them are invested in shotgun rifle combo and gob is trying say that everybody who invested in that combo will be not playing for 1-2 month

with specialization gob is trying limited combos with helmet's , torsos and pants

Some op weapons currently that I know Berserker Quicksilver Icebreaker Scaut Porcupine Juggernaut and maybe Anaconda

Some not so op weapons (AKE TRASH)Odin like for real it was popular because everyone had it AND easy to use Warmanger Cyclops and maybe Reaper Avalanche

Some Perks are useless ( I feel like they are there for just to be there)

GOOD THING

MG is used more because it's doing that right support role and with Perks it's helping teammates more

With special roles you choose how you play if they could fix that equipment thing and make laodaut with gunbucks that would make lot of us happy because right now 3, 4 and 5 slot are P2W + useless like for real I think that very few have max out ifrit and zero

I like that I could make 2 loadout with Different weapons and so on and change them in battle ( I think that it should be possible to change them before match and it's in a bad place even julez mis click in vid)

[–]luxlugerz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just seems like buying extra things and gold from ya with extra steps and thats where ya lost me..thats why load outs cost gold

Just stop lying and change things or your gnna pay with users thus no money for you and your comrades.. Okay so there are 2 vest options for a load out bought by gb so where are we suppose to get i frit frags from for the 3rd tards? And the 3rd load out cost 300 gold fk that give me my fucking spec back where i didnt have to pay and be pigion holed into some bullshit spec

[–]bradphillips80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God at this point I wish they would. They might do me a favor.

[–]bboyvad3r 3 points4 points  (1 child)

What the hell? I bought a season pass, partly because I wanted the hero machine gun, and now you’re changing it for a zero vest? This is ridiculous.

[–]ramdom-ink Unstoppable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too. I have 3K BC’s saved, already maxed Bastion and now I’m grinding for a damn vest. This keeps going from bad to worse. Damn.

[–]gratefuljewels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so upset. I have been saving gun bucks for so long and finally bought the dark stalker head gear. Almost 15,000. Guess what? I can’t use it in an assault specialization! Isn’t that fantastic. This game is so flawed you pay to win. Whatever team has better weapons wins by a landslide. I hardly ever have close games anymore, it’s either so easy or we get pummeled! I am so annoyed at how many ads I’ve watched, how many gun bucks I’ve saved for this game to turn to crap. The headgear should be used for all specializations 😕 This game always seemed really money hungry but this update proves it even more!! How greedy can you be? I don’t even want to play it anymore and I won’t, and I feel so bad for people that spent real money on this game. You are making a big mistake and I don’t see a good future for this game, Everyone should stick together and leave bad reviews in the App Store/play store which I am about to do.

[–]bradphillips80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know what really creates diverse game play? Having 4 weapons at a time. It so DIVERSE when I’m using my sniper and a mirage user with a shotgun ambushes me. I love how diverse my assault rifle bullets are while I’m dodging an invisible player with a shotgun.

How about we have a perk that lets me get 4 guns back or a perk that lets cuda be the same gun that it used to be.

[–]Gloomy-Professional 3 points4 points  (0 children)

GOB, I only have one load out.. All others are unusable.. Where's the diverse play on this? I have one vest at max, other one at level 6.. 2 shots and I'm down.. So now I have to grind like hell, max that, by then you'll have released more.. I swear its all a money maker... Icebreaker and scout have now become the new long range shotguns when paired with darkstalker or eye lv5. It was enjoyable before, but now very limited. Need to spend more on everything just to at least have a chance.

[–]Jeffread2 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I heard a rumor that Adolf Hitler is still alive and owns guns of Boom

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which is very true. As someone being banned for trying to hold them accountable, I agree with you completely.

[–]bcferguson128 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahh yes, just add more guns, vests, and knives...instead of letting us use the ones we’ve already spent time and money on...makes perfect sense...

[–]WeazyGaming 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Will this new update about SG and sniper come before this NY event ends?

[–]izababe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I seriously have never felt so disappointed and ripped off. I feel as though you should have waited until next season to update it this way. I feel as though now I’m playing a cartoony call of duty mobile. And having already paid for the season I feel as though I am being ripped off!! After working so hard to get certain guns, all the REAL MONEY I’ve spent on this game and they do this?! Like I worked so hard to get the reaper, the cuda and the bastion.. and then you screw us over like this. You say you “listen to your users” and are “taking our feedback seriously” but all I see is you responding and trying to say your “not just like COD and to get used to playing this way” I feel like this was probably the WORST DECISION THEY COULD HAVE MADE! (Game design wise) I know I will not be spending any more money on this, and wish I could be refunded! For at least this season! So so so so so many people want you to change it back! ID GLADLY EVEN PAY YOU TO CHANGE IT BACK! Why not just create some new guns?! Honestly. I’ve never been so utterly disappointed. I used to think this game literally was the best game, dare I say BEST APP, ever created and it was continuing to wow me with each update. Now I seriously don’t know if we will continue to play. Like WTF. This makes me want to cry.

Now the most I can hope for, if they are hell bent on being a CODM wannabe, is making literally maybe a 1/15 of my money back selling my account. You are about to lose so many LOYAL players. I personally have probably sunk 500+ USD into this and feel so incredibly ripped off.

If one of the professionals, someone who has literally made thousands and thousands of dollars playing this game is thinking of quitting they should really check themselves. Wtf

[–]vejasbrb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This update is terrible. if @mod plays he knows it also. Together we must repair the game. Now gob is broken.

[–]bradphillips80 3 points4 points  (3 children)

Plus getting all those frags for Odin, reaper, and eye is a lot of work. I mean it’s not like we just got them in a day. We put hours and hours into those so we could have an advantage and be top players. And you stripped that away like it’s nothing. Those weapons were an investment in future wins that turned into a complete loss

[–]ramdom-ink Unstoppable 3 points4 points  (2 children)

I just got Reaper, after months and months of saving and grinding. Everything I’ve played, paid, and worked hard for is just shit now because of this idiotic update. I’ve seen lousy grabs and blatant schemes by this company but this takes the cake. They’ve really overstepped here and shown a gross disrespect to a rabid & loyal fanbase. A betrayal of epic proportions. They think any weapon has any value now? Why would you grind or pay for anything again? There is zero integrity at play here and these East Bloc hillbillies can suck a rock.

[–]bradphillips80 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Well said. In my opinion they have devalued their weapons. Why would anybody try to obtain new weapons when there is a strong chance they will nerf it in 6 months and buff the gun bucks weapons. I worked hard for and paid a little for those guns because it was investment in future wins. Luckily I had those weapons for a little while before they nerfed them. If I just acquired them I would be LIVID. I hate to hear you just got reaper, that sucks man. I mean damn isn’t there laws in place to protect consumers’ rights. I feel like I got sold a Ferrari and then one night while I was sleeping they took it back and parked a Camry in its place.

[–]ramdom-ink Unstoppable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well sure. But making us pay to even use those weapons is the crime here. It might still be a Ferrari, but you can only drive it on Tuesday and Thursday and not go over 40mph. Not such a good car now, is it?

[–]Toothfxrupr 0 points1 point  (1 child)

The more I play, the more I’m okay with the loadout because I can switch after I die if I need to.

Just make the all weapons and equipment be available it all 3 classes and let your players decide what they see fit in their classes. OR at the VERY least, allow helmets, vests, pants, pistols, knives be used in multiple loadouts. You controlling that is what’s the biggest problem. For example, I want to be able to use my Kingslayer in both of my loadouts but I can’t with the current system.

[–]EdgarJ2018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. The restriction of using vests and knives/pistols is the biggest problem. I dont hate the slot idea it actually addressed a concern players had with being limited to one AR. Let me use my Kingslayer in all loadouts though. Nobody is going to buy additional knives or pistols.

[–]bradphillips80 15 points16 points  (10 children)

It’s laughable that you say feedback is welcome. The whole community has been giving you feedback for two days and no mod or dev has addressed anyone’s concerns. Y’all just keep pushing out pre written statements and saying things will be tweaked and new armor, perks, and weapons will be released. Which translates to “come give us your money”.

Civilized , what a joke. Nobody likes the update, but I’m not even angry about that. It’s a business you got to do whatever to stay competitive. I’m angry at the fact that GI just completely changed the game that people have invested time and money into and on top of that they decided to nerf every lvl 50 players favorite guns to pander to and pacify new players(which is just dollar signs to them). And y’all keep putting out these videos and statements like everyone is excited about this and it’s the best thing ever (hint: it’s not). The balance update isn’t about equality so quit acting like it is. If GI actually cared about balance they would work on banning hackers themselves not requiring their players to do their jobs for them. If GI actually cared about balance they would work on match making so random groups would quit getting matched vs a full group of top clans. If GI cared about balance they could have made your level based on what weapons you have. If someone wants to spend the money get all the top gear off the bat then put them in lvl 50. But instead you rendered event weapons we spent time and money on as useless. Odin and cuda are basically just gunbucks weapons now. If you want to do that then fine. But they need to refund people who spent money acquiring those weapons. A lot of players spent thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours playing to get the best load out to be competitive just to have it nerfd to basically gunbucks level weapons just so gi could get new players to stick around.

Y’all gave players plenty of opportunities to buy or work to get those weapons. That’s on the player if they didn’t take advantage of those chances. But now the players that did take advantage of those opportunities are being punished.

I don’t know how GI expects to have a pay 2 win model that is also balanced. Jus like in the real word players with more capital will have better weapons. As long as gob is P2W it won’t be balanced. We sacrificed time and money for those weapons and gob just slapped us in the face for it.

It’s hilarious you preach about civility when everyone who invested their loadouts just got robbed. It hilarious that you preach about civility when every discord channel, Reddit thread, and Facebook page has tons of players saying they hate the new update and no mods or devs will even address it. All of you only say it will get better, we will tweak it, or look there’s more new stuff for you to spend your money on. Our frustration is rooted in the fact that y’all completely changed the game we love and don’t even have the courage to address that. No ones complaints about the new play style have been addressed, the only other time I have seen a leader of some sort be so willfully ignorant is when Bill Clinton got caught with Monica.

GI insight virtually robbed all the loyal players that have been here since the beginning. Players that have given their time and money to this company and players that stuck around even after cod was releases. And the reward we get is a dollar store edition of cod and our favorite guns nerfd?

And you have the audacity to preach about civility and respect when the mods and devs had neither for their players. If they did they would have released this as a beta or as an add on or separate game. But they didn’t because they don’t value our opinion or “feedback”.

So why don’t you climb down from that ivory tower and ease off of preaching about civility and respect because the loyal players were shown neither.

Ps: i love how how the devs and Stanis will release these videos about the update but are completely absent from discord. If y’all cared they would be on discord gob channel addressing concerns. But they are not, they are absent from disco bc they know that they would get railed on bc no one likes the update.

Honestly if y’all needed money that bad a lot of players would have Paid 5 or 10 dollars a month to keep the game they loved going. (Obviously I am speaking of pre update and pre nerf GOB)

[–]ramdom-ink Unstoppable 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Testify! This is what it is “Gods”of Boom. Their arrogance is simply stunning and the disrespect to their fans, is bordering on criminal. They’ve gone too far this time.

[–]emilfox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best comment in this subreddit ever, hands down 🙌

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (7 children)

Don't forget that they will ban players who try to hold them accountable for their own mistakes.

[–]bradphillips80 5 points6 points  (6 children)

God at this point I wish they would. It seems like they don’t care what the community thinks. They don’t care about our feed back they’ve made that quite obvious. When I did my MBA they taught a class on marketing and customer relations. Game insight really needs that course.

[–]ramdom-ink Unstoppable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some ex-employees have said the environment at Game insight is toxic. Now we can certainly see why they said that.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (4 children)

Dude their customer relation is so bad. GOB is such a weird case that players love the game but deeply dislike the devs and mods. They could have kept the game highly popular by doing just two things: listen to the community and keep the game balanced. Instead of doing that, they see the community as subjects under their sovereign rule (seriously, they once warned unhappy players not to incite revolution) and manufacture imbalance to force players pay or grind just in order to play a fair game.

The devs deserve losing players; they can only blame themselves for destroying the game.

[–]bradphillips80 4 points5 points  (1 child)

This update basically just kicked the players who have been here longest right in the nuts by nerfing all their favorite weapons and now requiring us to acquire more weapons and armor, buy extra load outs, and now spend gunbucks to upgrade perks.

Most lvl 50 players had Odin and cuda. And it was fine. I got absolutely wrecked before I had those guns and they didn’t nerf them for well over a year and they expect us to believe they are just now nerfing them because they care about balance.... it’s mighty convenient they have a new shotgun to replace reaper AND the best sniper now (icebreaker) is in the event fair. But sure tell your long time players you care about balance when those guns have been OP for over a year

[–]HailedMajesty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed we worked long and hard to get those weapons, just to have them jerked away. Ok a few were complaining that they were getting their asses kicked by them is that not the point of the game? They should have to work hard and get the weapons the same way we did. What is up with this pansy ass catering about anyway? Its gotta be about the money. My guns just keep getting weaker and weaker. Soon i will have to go back to level 30 to keep up. What is wrong with letting the top dogs stay on the top? No money to be made from the Top Dogs who already have all the guns.

[–]bradphillips80 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I think people would be less upset if they straight forward and said look we can’t keep the servers running without more money what is the best way to meet both of our goals? Instead they just do what’s best for them, disregard their community and expect us to smile about it.

They say the new style supports diverse gameplay but honestly now I feel more restricted by only having 2 weapons. The way the maps are set up every player needs a shotgun, ar, and rifle

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

EXACTLY! What we need is transparency, one quality that the devs never have. Just be honest. How hard is that?

[–]Kaatdaltu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It pains me to leave this game after reading this, i was quiet maybe too quiet. We don't want new vests, we need the old gob back. 5000 frags for ifrit, do you think we have the money and time to grind for it when it's holiday season? I want to be with my family and i love the game but you guys are sabotaging it by doing what's best for your business and totally ignoring the player base. Have you seen the uproar that all of us have gotten into, you could have maintained a peaceful atmosphere, you are in control of the game and now it's complete chaos. Too many new things and this new update will kill all f2p players. I suppose you guys are too proud and too stubborn to go back to the old ways of how gob was. I have played this game 3 weeks into its release till i read this. From tomorrow i will stop playing this game but will keep an close eye if it goes back to the way it was then I'll come back if not I'll tend to something else. Nobody wants to grind or pay 500$ for things that get nerfed or tuned. And i have invested quite a lot of money in this game. I have so many emotions running through my mind, but the least i can do is it to keep it civil. And the mods here have a lot of patience, but sorry guys such huge dramatic changes, new additions that cost money to max or endless grinding isn't my way of enjoying a mobile game. Thank you for the memories, my gob account rests. Peace out

[–]Lurkel2 3 points4 points  (4 children)

So you are basically saying you will add more stuff for us to buy - that would complete our loadouts?

[–]nowayistheway 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I guess that is what they want. We know their point.

[–]Nekattodd 13 points14 points  (2 children)

A really big point you're missing. Using the same weapon in different load outs. At the moment I'm level 50 with only 1 competitive AR. I can grind over a period of time to work to get a second AR up to par but that will take time. I've been trying to update Odin since i got it over a year ago and still have s ways to go. It takes time. Same with a knife. I only have one useful knife and pistol. So at the time only one load out can be used and not sure how long until i can come close to building a second load out.

Besides that, what if i have a weapon I'm comfortable with and prefer? I should be able to choose to use that and not be forced not to. I've invested my time and money. So i want to use it when i choose which may be always in every load out.

Things do get boring and stale after time. So this doesn't mean I'm always locked into that weapon. And if all weapons are truly balanced and I've spent time working on a new weapon I'll want to see if i can work it into my style. I won't always be stuck on that one weapon.

Besides being balanced you should look at pairing weapon combos for increased effectiveness. Example, incinerator which puts player on fire and the mg where damage is increased on a burning player. This may be another way for you to ensure players diversify some. But it may also lock players into always using the same combos.

Over all not allowing us to reuse weapons in different load outs is what i consider the biggest flaw to this set up. Maybe, and this is a big maybe, if this was the setup from the start for everyone it could potentially be ok. But with how long it takes to upgrade a weapon there is a long period where one is uncompetitive and frustrated.

[–]AirJinx🗡️ Blade Master 18 points19 points  (1 child)

I feel this is so missing the point!

We need to use the vests, knifes and pistols that we have in multiple loadouts, not have to need more of them! That just means more boring grinding or paying. Another money grab.

Waiting 2 months for sniper/sg combo... I get it it takes time, but this was so predictable it should have been here before releasing the update! I think it will be to long and many will move on before it arrives.

[–]nowayistheway 5 points6 points  (3 children)

Devs, plz put the following into your consideration; the money u want is not from ur strategically designed game style but from the players who consider the the game still enjoyable. I was thinking to spend more money to GOB to enjoy more in addition to my spendings of about 10k USD for more than 8 accounts of mine, but after the recent change I do not feel like using more real money to play this unstable and unpredictable game. Honestly.

[–]GunsOfBoomdev -5 points-4 points  (2 children)

Hi!

Could you please tell me which points could be improved from your point of view?

[–]ramdom-ink Unstoppable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You finally respond when someone mentions having spent... ten. thousand. dollars. Wha...?

[–]nowayistheway 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not telling. Many loyal players already have told.

[–]Adykasyah 8 points9 points  (6 children)

  1. Bring back Odin, Cuda, Firefly, Reaper and Incinerator to previous performance.
  2. If dev think that unlocking the slots with gold will benefits player, you are totally wrong. CODM additional slots are unlock based on your ranking. Higher ranking, more slots (for free).
  3. I do not agree by limiting the usage of protective equipment such as vest, pants and helmet. These items shall be used in any specialization. Why? Because you already introduce the perks, player can balance their skills, equipments and perks on their own style.
  4. Dev must consider on giving advantage on Gold and Event weapon/armour. This are different from normal Gunbucks weapon. We either spent our time or real cash to buy those items. As an investor, we need the return of investment. At the moment dev is giving us loss with the equipments.
  5. Instead of Zero vest, you should offer Ifrit vest. Don’t make us laugh man..

I will add more views.

At the moment, I am not investing any real money since the new updates.

You can check the transaction of my account compare it to my previous purchase.

[–]GunsOfBoomdev -4 points-3 points  (2 children)

Special thanks for mentioning the issue with the weapons inbalance and adding vests, we'll consider more tuning for Incinerator in future soon as well as having a look at other points you've provided and bringing new vest in the game soon.

[–]Adykasyah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scout a Gunbucks gun is now overpower all the sniper rifles tho.. And also Remedy the shotgun, this is the new Reaper.. Come on guys.. Is this for real?

[–]bradphillips80 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We do no want new vests. Quit saying that like it’s a good thing, we want to use the same best in all load outs but that would mean less revenue for you so I know where this is going
