There's a couple of annoyances in the Dead and Buried game. Since the game was made by Oculus Studios, I was wondering if there is a better place than this to leave feedback?
1-The door opening mechanism in Robbery is useless and adds nothing to the game. It's where I experience the most bugs with Touch and it just creates a frustrating experience. I would suggest removing this aspect of the game.
2-Cover is often right outside of my Guardian boundary! This is pretty obvious, make sure players can get cover inside their Guardian boundaries. Dying a bunch because of bad design like this is a great way to make people not want to play.
3-Feet height is not well detected. Kind of goes back to number 2. When I spawn and there is only a box to cover me and I crouch and my head is still at standing height, I'm going to die really quick because of bad design. Please make sure to place our feet on the ground, especially if the cover is super low on the ground.

I'm not sure where the correct place to leave feedback is...so I'm leaving it here!
1. If I invite my friend to play, we cannot control which team we end up on or if we are grouped together. I have to cycle the teams with the "Teams" button, but I've found sometimes it refuses to shuffle the teams to where I can play with my friend. We should be able to choose Good/Bad side slot and stick with it.
2. If I do manage to cycle teams to where I can play with my friend, once the round is over the teams will shuffle back to their original setup, making me reshuffle every time. This is silly.
3. If someone leaves a match, currently the matchmaking does not work in finding a new player. We always have to completely exit the game and reform. Really annoying.
4. I can't quite figure out how spawn invulnerability works. It seems when someone spawns, I hear a "ding ding" when I shoot them that implies they are taking no damage, yet sometimes when I spawn I can be killed instantly (one time in particular I remember being killed in the Train shootout map before the train even put up its walls). Do you lose invulnerability when you shoot? It seems I can be killed by a fresh spawn without my bullets affecting them.

Hi Tbone, I believe number four is a bit iffy and also related to latency. However you may be right that once you fire you become vulnerable again.
I tend to not shoot people when they respawn and give them a moment to get situated.
I've gotten into that same habit, but that seems to give them a window to shoot me in the face with impunity. As a result, I've found myself ducking and hiding from someone freshly spawned in order to avoid being killed before they're free to be shot at. There should be a clear way to both know when you become vulnerable and when someone else becomes vulnerable.

This is actually a bug that's already being fixed. Right now the game resets your "center" position every time you spawn. So let's say in your initial spawn you dive to the left behind a box and die. You stand up and wait to respawn. When you respawn, you spawn in the "center" of the new area, but if you remember, you ducked to the left previously, so now you are on the left side of your tracking box but in the center of your spawn spot. As a result, if there's something to your left you want to use as cover, it's now outside of your area since you are off-center. Once you establish "center" in your tracking area, the game should take that into account the entire time, but it currently doesn't.
As for the height mismatch, if you "recenter" by holding down the left stick or through the Oculus interface, it also resets your height. This might also happen while loading into certain menus/areas (it doesn't happen when respawning). The simple fix is don't sit down at any point. If you do find your height is bugged, hold down the left stick to fix it.
