Dye dm14 expectations (its time)

Luxe4life · 06-04-2013, 10:49 AM

Yep we have another one of these threads! Tell me what you guys expect dye to do with the dm14 OR the hopes you have. Lets start this off!

What I think: nothing: maybe add some more firkin weight
Hopes: screen, macro less

I've made a plan to save up money so ill buy the most impressive new marker that comes out at cup. Hope dye pulls something out (my team is a dye sponsorship so.....)

Based on the last few releases of the Matrix series, I'm not expecting much, if anything, to be changed other than milling and anno schemes.

There is no way I'd buy one, but in like three years when the price drops to about $300 I'd probably pick one up, haha.

I would hope for a nice OLED screen just so easier to see what's going on when you're programming. It isn't necessary, but for $1300 or so it seems expected as about all other guns in that range have one. And maybe something to increase efficiency similar to a Lurker EigenRing. Macroless isn't a big deal to me, especially when the gun has a straight macro fitting coming out of the asa and it doesn't stick out of the reg awkwardly with a 90 degree fitting. Dye does a good job of designing that so I don't feel macroless is important since the air line connections don't bother me now.

That's true never had a problem with my macros, it would just be cool I think, but not another selling point

They need a whole new gun. 10 years of matrix is enough

I have to agree with this. Planet Eclipse finally came out with the LV1 and it's a big improvement from the Ego based on what I've read. I still haven't seen or shot one so I can't be sure for myself.

I'd love to see Dye's take on a pump kind of like what Bob Long did with the MVP.

Or maybe a mech Matrix? After hearing J4 will come out with a mech Torque in the future I've wanted to see other high end guns do the same.

I'd expect to see Macroless, as they are trying it out on the DAM. Other than that, not much has changed in the last 4 or 5 years, so im not too hopeful

Haha, I was about to take an NT10 trade straight for my Ego 07, but after reading about them and all their problems I just couldn't pull the trigger on the offer.

If they did a whole overhaul on the NT system and made it so that it wasn't a hit or miss I'd love to own an NT since the few positive reviews on the gun made it sound really good.

iquadra · 06-04-2013, 02:40 PM

If you take the time to learn how the nt works it is actually quite reliable.

Torn · 06-04-2013, 02:44 PM

I expect the DM14 to be very similar to the 14 but possibly a new NT line, The DM line really cant get any better except for the effeciency

Kyle @ Ph Pirates · 06-04-2013, 03:20 PM

Honestly, I could picture them putting a lpr on the proto reflex and bumping that up to $1k.

I don't know, it's more of a cheaper step down marker just like, cheaper not as good version

Etek is to the ego
Reflex is to the dm

Luxe4life · 06-04-2013, 03:36 PM

I would like to see the outcome of putting an lpr on the reflex. They shoot good and feel great in the hands

allout2 · 06-04-2013, 03:56 PM

I love DMs and hope to see something different next year.

Macroless (not really necessary, but I think it would be great for the DM in terms of something different)

Nice LCD/OLED board. Just to make programming easier and all.

A bolt upgrade that actually yields better efficiency (isn't that bad, just wish there was something to give you a bit more is all)

Option to add Boomstick back from factory

And maybe even a special pricing to let the user pick his own anno (kind of like how BL does with his markers)

Remember the proto matrix?

You're asking waaaay too much

allout2 · 06-04-2013, 04:19 PM

Not saying all of these, just one or two would be great with me.

Sickabod Khrayne · 06-05-2013, 01:03 AM

Weight, oled, boomstick, and better stock paint jobs.

da oreo · 06-05-2013, 02:46 AM

want this

I wish they would just take after PE and stop doing yearly releases.

PE does... Instead of an ego 12 you got the etha. Now there's an lv1.
