Now I know the DG update came out a while ago but I only just experienced it. So, I decided to make a thread sharing my thoughts since DG is my favorite minigame.

Pros:

The variety of weapons makes the game a lot more exciting and entertaining. You get to learn how to work each one and see which fits you best.

The lobby is cool, I love the parkours and training dummies. Plus it just looks really industrial and storage-like.

The shop is amazing, with different perks, upgrades, and different customization options, it makes getting coins really worth it for some cool gear. And I can finally be a Kirstree.

More maps keeps the game fresh, even though I didnt mind playing on the Synergy and Terminal.

And finally, auto respawn! Something I've been begging for for ages! I'm glad it was finally implemented so there will be less spawn killing.

Cons:

The new maps feel too large. Mostly Platform. Since there isnt too many DG players, in such a big map with so many twists, turns, and corners, it's extremely hard to find any players. They could be clustered in one area and you're stuck wandering on the other side of the map. I love the way it's built, but it feels like a map made for SG.

Reload/Explosion time is unbearably long. Mostly for railgun and the grenades. I understand it's to make it difficult but you can barely hit anyone unless they're standing still due to the extremely slow reload and detonation times. Theyre my most difficult weapons.

Constant lagging, glitching, and game crashing is prominent. I've been crashed from three DG games so far because it just couldn't handle all the weapons being fired, thrown, etc. Players glitch in and out of walls, the game freezes so you have no idea what to do, and then it just crashes all together. I hope this gets fixed soon, because it really is affecting gameplay a lot. And it isn't just my connection either.

So those are my thoughts. Just felt like sharing. :p

I do agree, except for the glitching/lagging/crashing since I don't get those.
 
I agree with most of the things said. Just a tip though. Yes i agree, the railgun is annoying. To be honest when i get the opportunity i just look for two people fighting and try to steal the kill, because the railgun doesnt 1 hit but it is a near 1 hit. As for the grenade, it isnt that hard in my opinion. You just need to get an idea of where the player you're targetting is going and throw it accordingly. If you're getting rushed, run away and throw them toward the ground or in front of you as you're running so the timing allows it to blow up when he's catching up. And, in my opinion, the best way to use it is if you see a mosh pit of 3 or 4 players fighting, to just start throwing the grenades in the area. It works pretty well. Hope that helps ;p
 
I agree with your Pros, however, some of your Cons are either based on opinion or being worked on.

Railguns/Grenades: The reason these weapons have a longer reload time is because they're so powerful. The railgun deals 12-16 damage points per hit. Grenades aren't quite as powerful, but I don't think the reload time is that bad.

Crashing/Glitching: Yes, the crashing is a major problem. Supposedly, the developers are working on fixing it. However, I have heard no news on this yet. For now, just play and hope it doesn't happen, I guess.

I've never seen players glitching through walls; if they are, and you suspect they are hacking, you can report them. If you do not think they are hacking, and you think it is merely a bug, please feel free to make a bug report.

As for the lagging, I think it is your connection. My computer is junk and I rarely have connection issues for DG.

This is just my opinion, though. I do agree with your statement about the Platform map; it is very large.

Well of course it's based on opinion. Thats literally the title of the thread.

And I can assure you the lag is not from me, as all the rest of the players in DG say in chat that they are experiencing it as well.

Is it FPS lag or latency? You didn't quite specify (even though you implied it was latency).
 
Its when the game completely freezes and then resumes again. The other players call it "lag."
Ohhh, that. Okay. Yeah, I've had that occasionally. Whenever that happens, it does seem to happen to everyone. I'm sure that will be fixed soon with the crashing problem.

Thanks for clearing that up; I thought you meant FPS lag or some kind of latency.
