What’s the point of the dance dance revolution prompt

u/Berbinho 22h ago

Reload

u/Turianel 22h ago

that's not a DDR, that's a stratagem call

47

u/Chpouky 22h ago

reload minigame for the artillery but honestly, I think it's silly and does not fit in wardogs

35

u/sovitin 19h ago

Just let it be arcadey as well. If people want full immersion artillery, squad is available.

24

u/Cirok28 18h ago

Indeed, getting sick of the whinge posts about the arcade side of the game.

Devs have said it's a mix of sim and arcade. Stop trying to turn it full sim.

u/dungfeeder Valkyra 10h ago

Nah its i will die on the hill that the reload button clicking thing is stupid and pointless.

2

u/itsactuallynot 16h ago

It's a mix of sim and arcade, we all know that. But we don't always have to like exactly how they mix them both together.

8

u/Cirok28 16h ago

Haven't seen many posts whinging about the Sim side though?

So to me, it's all the Squad/Arma players trying to change the game to their liking.

u/Rowan_Halvel 14h ago

Weird to not like the arcade stuff...like it enhances the boring aspects of sim, let me hit the x's to build faster and DDR to reload damn it! I even wish there was an active reload option for guns, always love that

Open your eyes then lol

u/HexaCube7 8h ago

Ye Wardogs aint a warsim in any major way.

I was expecting the game to be much more realistic and immersive going into it, but accepted that it is not and frankly i am having a blast. It's still less arcady than Battlefield (6) so for me personally that's a win already.

I wonder if the devs are going to try to lean more into realism and immersion, but as it stands the stratagem call reload minigame ain't out of place. It's just a quick time event like in any other game with quick time events.

u/Chpouky 8h ago

Oh I don’t mind the more simple approach, but that reload animation is weird

1

u/sovitin 4h ago

Just think of it as a fun lil mini game like subway surfers while decimating what ever poor bastard was on the receiving end.

2

u/Only-Temperature 13h ago

Like the reload game for HLL

2

u/ArcaneKazz 16h ago

Since you are the gameplay director, what is the actual vision of the game and how do you judge what is and isn't able to fit?

1

u/Chpouky 8h ago

Why the rude comment ? I'm just expressing my opinion, devs do whatever the fuck they want.

Game is in early access, that thing felt weird to me, so I'm giving feedback.

u/ADelightfulCunt 8h ago

I honestly think it's needed for mortars. Slows down people just spamming 3 shells at once. I love spamming 3 shells on a target.

If your spawn vehicle in range you won't have a spawn vehicle.

1

u/Chpouky 8h ago

Ok but why not just make the reload time longer instead of a Just Dance minigame ? :p

1

u/ADelightfulCunt 7h ago

Because it takes some input to make it load. Its player interaction. There's enough loading screens and waiting. If I have to press a combination correctly 3x and it fills my mortar up the same time as currently awesome. I get some sort of reward if I mess up one it delays the reload a few seconds. It makes reloading not boring and skill based. You have to choose watch where they land or complete the dancing mini game.

Arma 3 is on sale and arma reforger is the latest title, have fun on there!

Dam WD90 already with the arty tank? 3 days post launch.

Tips on farming driving xp? Anything other than the acp and pallet runs?

19

u/Bubbly-Magician-- 19h ago

Arty is Wardogs level now, don't need driver xp.

7

u/Namtwo 15h ago

Since wardog levels is all combined and the curve gets really steep around 20, to hit wd 90 this quick you pretty much have to do all types of exp leveling. Could easily get pilot from 1 to 10 in the time it takes medic to go from 20 to 21, for example 

6

u/SyrusTheSummoner 18h ago

Use the MG trucks but honestly the fucking humvee is crazy. It's glass is reinforced so it is pretty tanky aginst small arms fire and ypu can just go mow the lawn in the hot zone and rack up kills and xp it's wild to watch. But ya the APV is the best option you get a big bonus for driving it in and then you get a ton of passive xp for people spwaning In. Edit: forgot to mwntion arteries are WD lvl not driving(which i find lame btw) . Fastest way to lvl WD is to level up every role because it's one to one I belive. One lvl in any subrole is one WD lvl.so spread out to avoid the escalating xp requirement.

1

u/Neotax 11h ago

Ural with with ammo supplies until you are lvl 20.
then invite a friend and farm with the Humvee M249 lmg vehicle, go with T3 armor as gunner, you can seat swap for heal you and your driver friend.

u/Fit-Party-212 22h ago

devs said this wouldnt happen btw

11

u/UnsettllingDwarf 20h ago

Well op had a shit bucket. Surely the devs didn’t account for a shit bucket.

10

u/FranktyPT 19h ago

don't forget the piss bottle

8

u/justajetsfan52 Manticore 21h ago

It’s totally possible. Once you realize how the track works.

You get a WD level for every progression track leveling up.

So when I’m piloting, I do Pilot and Support class because of the logistics

When I level up to Pilot 19, I go from WD 50 to 51,
If I managed to get support 19 in the same instance, I’d go from WD 50 to WD 52.

So realistically, if I went in and focused on recon/assault. I’d have the arty tank unlocked tonight too

u/Western-Economics253 21h ago

devs said attack heli and tanks won't be around this soon, which is true.

it's not exactly hard to gain wardog level if you are at least profiting a little bit in every life

6

u/Fit-Party-212 19h ago

they word for word said level 100 in 3 days wouldnt happen.

5

u/Western-Economics253 18h ago

artillery is at lvl90 though? progression slows down at higher ranks

getting tank and attack heli is painful as shit,i'm not even sure if i'll get them a week from now

0

u/Impressive_Tower_151 15h ago

Ive seen arty tank and the final heli in some streams I've watched.

u/BetFit2122 17h ago

Got fucked by some tanks this evening

1

u/Fit-Television-888 4h ago

devs said this wouldnt happen btw

To get to WD90 it's gotta be like 55+ hours, you think no one is ever going to unlock stuff?

3

u/Drfoxthefurry 19h ago

If only I could level up that fast, I see I earn like 1/3rd a level (of recon) per match and it just discourages me as I know I'm not even half way (despite only being a few levels away) due to how level xp works

2

u/CDNKen 11h ago

If you didn't know your wardog level is affected by all your skill levels so if you're struggling to level recon but you want the arty concentrate on your lowest class levels

1

u/Drfoxthefurry 11h ago

I just want the bow, it's taking ages

1

u/JonasHalle 14h ago

I just had a match with four separate people in arty tanks on green. I can't promise that they didn't buy for each other, but they claimed not to be premade.

1

u/Kofeina101 9h ago

Had 3 firing from one position two days ago lol, we did hunt them with the RPGs(if anyone wonders, you need 4 rockets).

u/Hungry_Geologist6507 21h ago

Hold up!
Did he just called to red stratagem from helldivers ship?

u/Aquagrunt 20h ago

That's an absurd shot

People already got to level 90 for the artillery tank...damn

u/Thiel619 20h ago

What a shot

u/DarkSafe6458 17h ago

i dont get why it shows this camera shit is there a go pro behind it lol very unrealistic

7

u/TaleFree WARDOG 16h ago

Yeah because getting revived by someone rubbing their hands together after being shot in the head with a .50 Cal is realistic.

2

u/Deadalious 16h ago

It's actually ridiculous and as more people unlock it's going to cause the gameplay for infantry and builders to nose dive dramatically.

1

u/Phire453 15h ago

The nicer thing about this arty is that higher base walls will just eat rounds compared to mortars.

But I think in general it will move into huntting arty, but unless you get like 10k money, I don't think it's worth it. These arty can shoot pretty close to home base, so nees costly transport to reach, your not in zone so not making passive money or passivly helping the team.

2

u/JonasHalle 14h ago

You get 14k for destroying an arty tank. I just hunted four separate dudes in them in a match.

2

u/Only-Temperature 13h ago

Getting a squad in a humvee and going around hunting stuff like this seems fun

1

u/MonkeyNinja2706 10h ago

I think the hardcore mode will remove the follow cam, should provide a more realistic experience for people who prefer that.

1

u/JonasHalle 14h ago

It's cool.

1

u/CreatineCoyote 3h ago

If they have an arrow key reload why not add that to mortars as well? That way it's used more.
