I know they just released the DAM, but what do you guys think they will be doing next? The other lines for the past 3+ years have just been getting a facelift. I can't say I blame them do to how successful their guns have been. Do you think we will see maybe a poppit gun from them in the future? or perhaps maybe another crack at an NT style gun? Thoughts?

[andrewthewookie]

Either macroless, a new revamped NT, or both.

At least that's what I'd like to see.

I'm hoping they release the next DM with an OLED board, or at least an LCD screen. There isn't really much else they can improve for the DM though. I want to say a new innovation with the Fuse bolt would be cool, but it's already great where it's at, so I'm not sure what they could even do.

As far as their other products go *cough* Rotor *cough*, they'll probably just keep releasing "new" model years in different colors.

[scmillman]

imo the next DM MUST be macroless AND have a screen. the platform shoots great, but at this point its basically a 10 year old design, that hasn't significantly been improved upon in the last 5. Take a DM8 and a DM13, and honestly I dare you to tell me they shoot differently. the 13 will be a little bit more comfortable, easier to work on and look sweeter, but I think players are starting to figure out that buying a Dye gun named after the current year isn't a financially efficient move, as opposed to a Bob Long or Macdev gun that has actually improved since its predecessor's release. Even Planet Eclipse has changed important things about the guns (lowering the cycle speed specifically). That said, Egos have had screens since they came out, not improving that doesn't matter because its already good. A screen was a luxury in 05, an option in 08 - in 2013, in that price range, its a necessity. And in order to create the buzz around the gun that they need, it needs to be macroless too, so that the whole paintball world is excited about the "totally redesigned" DM, instead of saying "welcome to this decade, Dye. about time."

-I think that they need to really change the shape of the DM. They need to make it shorter, and more like a Geo or NT.
-Or, instead of this, they should bring back the NT line except go for the DMs shot, and price(maybe lower).
-They should also work on a poppit marker, with all the good things that dye has (UL frame, barrel, tool-less grips and all).
-Also, lowering the prices on some of their product would be great!

[Poopfairy35]

I think dye takes a crack at tanks,or at least regulators. I also see a quicker speed feed change for the rotor.

[paintballguy2255]

^^^They've already done that

As for what I'd like to see,probably a DYE gun that I can afford

They have been selling tanks, the Dye Throttle:

The next DM will probably use that whole reg in the bolt pin thing they have on the DAM, only with the LPR.
So the DM will likely be lower profile like an NT / any other spool.

Dye has made a poppet

[junits15]

I'd like to see something different. All the spools are so cookie cutter. Almost exactly the same and they blend right into the crowd. I wanna see a marker that sticks out

Not technically. They didn't actually make it, just took an existing gun and PL'd it.

??? I've done it with a PM8, and didn't find it any better or worse than any other gun in a dorito....

[jacknieland]

I think it's time for them to overhaul the DM. In my opinion, an OLED board is in order, and going macroless would put it a step above the ego in that aspect. Also, making the marker lower in profile would definitely make a massive difference. If they haven't already done it, a tool-less bolt would be cool too.

[NBTIppy]

Same thing, new colors.

inb4 don't fix what isn't broken debate

[Nobben #44]

Why do they have to make a poppet marker? It makes no sense at all, there's no point for them to do so. And why bother with the waste of putting a screen on the board because you're too lazy to count flashes?
I've been a big PE fan for ages, and shot their markers as long, if not longer than Dye's. The screen is pointless. Every marker I've had with a screen made me feel it has an unnecessary gadget that I never need on it.
Let's not get started at the whole macro less movement, I've played paintball for years and I've owned over 40 high ends, some without macorlines, again, it's pointless, the hose has never, ever been in the way of anything.


I hope they make a new NT that is reliable and a Rotor that's even better than the one they have now.
