battlefield-2042

[sweet tartan]

anyone else having isses with persistent data after downloading the patch?

[next onyx]

But what do I know.

Uhhh no.

[jade hill]

Do i neee boinsw for anything

Or should I buy skin for gun that I'll use for few days and get bored of it

[next onyx]

Save your money up for something you really want.

[reef zenith]

Still having the same freeze and crash on startup issue after reinstall

this has only been happening after this morning's patch

[jade hill]

Well i mean there isn't anything for save for

There are only skins

Nothing above 1300boins

And I have ultimate edition so no need to save for battlepass

[tame cobalt]

[hexed mango]

i think they just don’t care

[serene wolf]

The hind has the repair feature +2 passenger seats for engineers

Abit ridiculous if you ask me

[quaint wigeon]

NERF AVANCYS TO THE FUCKING GROUND NOW

[arctic grove]

Didn't really notice anything, sorry for the delay lol

[serene wolf]

I see, yeah it’s probably just me

[radiant prism]

Avancys just needs more recoil after firing for a while

[next onyx]

Thank fuck that's over. Surprised this gun is even usable with the stupid delays it has.

[quaint wigeon]

didnt know this was a thing

[radiant prism]

I love the M16 tbh

Bit bouncy but it hits like a truck

[arctic grove]

I think they broke the store on console

[serene wolf]

Praying for your mental well being

[arctic grove]

Can someone send a pic for me?

[serene wolf]

Same, it’s a monster at close range

[arctic grove]

Horizontal recoil is kinda bad, it's even more noticeable with the latest patch. Idk if it's placebo but it got worse

I love that dice devs are disguising themselves now. I remember Driftridge having the dice dev badge but last time I saw them they had the steadfast badge lol

I wish you got a skin for killing a dev

Cuz I sure as hell did kill drift a lot

[half aurora]

They stay on the map but disappear if you switch to a different kit I think. If you try to place more then the oldest mine is replaced max 3 placed at a time

[arctic grove]

Yes

[unkempt coral]

Things like C4 does despawn though afaik

[quaint wigeon]

AI's stay fucking up my flank

[arctic grove]

Thats it for this week?

[lucid goblet]

only 1 new bundle and a free charm

[hexed mango]

penguins are a W

[lusty temple]

I gotta get that charm

[arctic grove]

True that penguins are a W

[reef bough]

joined just before match ended lol

I think we had like 5 tickets left when I joined

[placid echo]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/239788202745921536/1019266354697752586/unknown.png

[royal swan]

Is that another free charm

[placid echo]

Think its in a bundle

Its also a bottle opener lol

[quaint wigeon]

i cant buy this separately?

[radiant prism]

Bottle opener yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[placid echo]

If it's available, it should be in the weapon cosmetics category in the catalog

[tame cobalt]

Yo they doing a dice music concert

would be pog to see live

[eternal storm]

Pretty incredible still how far the quality has dropped between bf1-bfV to this mess

They took their own franchise and everything people liked and decided- nope lol

[quaint wigeon]

low effort quick cash grab game

[eternal storm]

Even the music, like bf1 and bfV have amazing soundtracks…then pit that against 2042 and you wouldn’t think it came from the same developer

[arctic grove]

Will there ever be more than 5 maps?

lmao

wtf why we have an update on bf 2042 today but 0 news on the official wrbsite

[tame cobalt]

or 2042 and bf1/v had wildly different goals with their musical direction and both achieved their goals

[arctic grove]

1.7gb files

[full burrow]

lets see, it takes them 3 months to "rework" (minor fucking touchups) a map

so no dont expect many new maps

[tame cobalt]

there's 15 maps

[arctic grove]

yeah if you count the same map 3 times for different game modes

[tame cobalt]

no if you count different maps

[arctic grove]

nowhere near 15

[tame cobalt]

15 different maps

maybe play the game

[arctic grove]

I'm better than you

[tame cobalt]

didn't ask

[eternal storm]

was the 2042 musical goal to sound like shit and be completety void of immersion? Cos they succeeded

[arctic grove]

yes

[tame cobalt]

didn't expect battlefield fans to be capable of appreciating experimental art

[next onyx]

People using the vector are funny.

[tame cobalt]

pbx best smg ttk under 10m

[arctic grove]

True and sad

[next onyx]

10? More like 20.

[tame cobalt]

sym says 10

k30 better ttk above 10

if u can land all shots

[chilly jacinth]

its easier to hit shots at long range with the pbx

[tame cobalt]

[regal sphinx]

Orbital 2.0 is correct.
9 AOW and 6 Portal-Maps.

[serene wolf]

[next onyx]

Anyone feeling their guns skipping when they fire?

By skip I mean. You expect the next shot but your gun has a mini stroke and misses a shot and then fires the one next to it normally.

[granite island]

How to improve aim

I always somehow shoot a little bit off

even though I clearly saw the bullets go through him

[fervent grotto]

YES Omg dude I hate it

[next onyx]

Mouse input in this game is bad but I can advise a chance but I do need to ask.

What is your Sensitivity / DPI?

[fervent grotto]

It’s like the bullet flat out goes to a different plain of existence

[next onyx]

Also there's a massive hit reg issue now.

Yeah it's more evident in the armoured vehicles.

It'll have a two round burst.

But resume as a full auto.

[granite island]

The aiming sensitivity feels weird

Even at high

It's slow

[next onyx]

What is your DPI?

[granite island]

I'm on ps

[next onyx]

OH.

[fervent grotto]

Hit reg definitely doesn’t help either

[next onyx]

Okay go into advanced controller settings.

And set your deadzones to 4%.

Turn of controller acceleration because THAT is what is screws with your aim.

[granite island]

Oh

I always had it on

Even though I had no idea what it meant

[next onyx]

Basically it'll start of slowly and then the sens will quickly increase.

What is your sens overall?

[granite island]

54

[serene wolf]

Yes

[next onyx]

Try slowly bumping it up!

[jade hill]

That sounds so nice

[next onyx]

On controller I sit on 75.

[jade hill]

Wartapes?

[next onyx]

This is pretty fast.

Uh 3D headphones.

[jade hill]

Hmmm okay

I am on speakers, but could tr it out

[granite island]

I heard the war tapes makes explosions sound louder?

[next onyx]

I think so. But I wouldn't want to test that out and worsen my tinnitus.

[serene wolf]

Wartapes make your gun sound a lot more bassy

I love it

[fervent grotto]

Tinnitus gang

[next onyx]

I remember getting headphones for the first time graduation from earphones.

I got into the churchill on my first match with the howitser and loved the bass.

Just the BOOM.

[full burrow]

I wouldnt mind amplifying other sounds, making shit sounds cooler but footsteps are already so hard to gauge

I can hear them and I know roughly were they are but it doesnt feel great

[granite island]

Nerfing Casper drone was just unnecessary tbh

[full burrow]

how was it nerfed?

[granite island]

All it did was emp and spot

C5s make it move slower

And spot range decreased

[full burrow]

lol c5 drone is stupid thing that should have been considered before release

[granite island]

Also it flys slower

Even without c5s

It wasn't that bad

I consider the c5 drone

A sneaky

Yet great idea

For breakthrough

[next onyx]

it was just extremely infuriating dealing with it.

It really impacted the viability of tanks early game.

[granite island]

I get that the drone is hard to spot

Because they're small and they blend in with the environment

Like they could've made the drone more visible

Or brighter and less blendable to the dark

Like add some glowy stuff to it

Like what the specialists wear

[full burrow]

also today morning I encounterd a drone and I couldnt hit it

my aim isnt that bad lol but it looked like it was lagging hard

but nah c5 drone is just cheap shit, something to do for a youtube video but really unbalanced

again im shocked how they didnt predict this

https://clips.twitch.tv/InterestingFragilePidgeonBuddhaBar-DzQ831vae96Tf3X0

is it me or can you see 2 of my bullets literally bounce off it?

[serene wolf]

Never seen a drone lag lmao

[chilly jacinth]

drones have always been notoriously laggy

skipping around like crazy

[rapid timber]

They said jets were getting their own vehicle category right? or am i delusional to a false rumor

[uncut bay]

i also heard that

[rapid timber]

That'd be real neat

[quaint wigeon]

losing to an avancys close range is fuckin infuriating

[slate meadow]

Do you guys really think Russia has just old coldwar firepower or it's all just a front and they gonna let us think they are weak and pull out some be crazy tech like ha gotcha

[tough wolf]

what attachements/?

[uncut bay]

if they had the muscles they'd flex

[next onyx]

Tactical comp with 6KU on the side, Laser, Close combat and k8 holo.

[lone void]

PBX is brutal but nobody uses it

In other news, halfway to Falck T1

[rocky kraken]

Ok was the m95 animated by ripple?

[tame cobalt]

nahhh bruv c5 drone is dogshit

[hexed mango]

probably… it’s a portal gun

[tribal zenith]

i just had to download 1.2 GB update

was there anything new added?

[serene wolf]

Someone got top on the leaderboard with 315 assists, 0 kills

lmao

[quaint wigeon]

casper mains are insane

really know how to fly that drone

[rapid timber]

Lol

[ionic crest]

Anyone else struggling to get into games?

I don't even really play this game anymore just wanted to try out the new map because I heard it was good...

[lone void]

Bro who actually got this achievement for heaping 3k health in a round with Falck's gun

[primal hemlock]

got another update today. Whats it for?

[lone void]

Pretty much a bug fix

Some minor issues

[primal hemlock]

no changelog?

[lone void]

#direct-communication

[ionic crest]

I guess I'm the only one who can't find games lol

[primal hemlock]

thanks @lone void

[modern rampart]

hey guys for some reason EA Desktop won´t accept my battlefield 2042 edition which I got on origin client?

any idea how to fix it?

[visual horizon]

@lone void, is your pfp a new skin in the game?

[lilac dust]

What platform?

[knotty plank]

Lmao they fixed visuals with Paik but didn't fix the LVG yet? Guess I'm going to continue abusing it then 🤷‍♂️

[ionic crest]

Play station

[lilac dust]

4 or 5 ?

[ionic crest]

5

[lilac dust]

Do you play with crossplay on or off?

[ionic crest]

I have it on, I'm pretty sure. I never turned it off in any video game before.

[lilac dust]

Interesting. Personally I always have it off because I always find full games in the UK, but that's weird you're not even finding games with it on. Your game must be bugged

[ionic crest]

I could double check tho

[lone void]

It's a pre season mission Rao helmet on the uniform from the Tech Exploit bundle

It's a nice helmet

[visual horizon]

oh

[visual horizon]

the right platform, ong

[tame cobalt]

They can make rao look cool but they can't make him less boring to play

[lone void]

Rao was my first T1 badge

[visual horizon]

i enjoy playing Rao for all the xp numbers that appear on my screen

satisfying

[proud gorge]

T1 Lis grind going kinda easy and slow

[proud gorge]

Same before they did the change to proxy I always spammed those and got him to T1

[lone void]

But I got him the fun way

Actually playing a supporting role

[proud gorge]

Tho the only thing I like about RAO is to fuck over stealth helis by hacking them

[livid citrus]

I'm really struggling with performance right now. I have a 3090 and 5950x, running the game on all low settings, 1440p and Im unable to get above 90 FPS ingame.

[arctic grove]

My name is Walter Hartwell White. I live at 308 Negra Arroyo Lane, Albuquerque, New Mexico, 87104. This is my confession.

[arctic grove]

Something is bottlenecking you; I'm running a 5800x and 6700XT and I'm getting 130+ FPS in game ezpz.

[livid citrus]

I don't understand what it could be. I'm not overclocking anything either.

[uncut bay]

it could just be that the game doesn't like something about your computer. Every system is different even with the same specs, and a game like 2042 is probably even more prone to fucking things up

[cosmic sequoia]

@livid citrus do you have hard drives or SSDs?

[livid citrus]

SSD

[cosmic sequoia]

And your temps are good when running the game?

Wait you said 90 lol I’m thinking you’re getting like 30

90 on low though hmmmm

[livid citrus]

90 on Low is pathetic... ;_;

[cosmic sequoia]

Yeah that’s not good

[uncut bay]

with that setup you should be getting a lot more, if not double

[lime oxide]

hey, i just started, anywhere i can find weapon builds and loadouts ?

[cosmic sequoia]

The game is very processor intensive because it’s not that optimised

You’re doing these FPS tests in bot matches? No internet involved?

@livid citrus

[bronze steeple]

I have 12 core 3.7ghz ryzen9 5900x and rtx2060 and average 85fps so not just cpu optimised

[cosmic sequoia]

You just proved my point haha

[livid citrus]

I’ve done it in both. I’m considering reinstalling the game now. Delete all the app data and cache files

[cosmic sequoia]

Hmm.. that’s a good place to start. Make sure something else isn’t eating up resources. How much RAM do you have?

@livid citrus

[livid citrus]

32gb, nothing else is really eating up the ram.

[cosmic sequoia]

I would also check out your overclocking settings

In BIOS and on the physical MOBO

Sometimes that can really fuck things up

[livid citrus]

Good idea

[dusk fern]

how come the weeklys can be burned through in like 3-4 matches? also barely moves the bp

[tacit sphinx]

barely moves the bp
is 5 instant bp tiers

[dusk fern]

isn't a lot when there's only so many weeks in the bp

[quaint wigeon]

the weeklys get u 56 tiers in the bp

[fiery shoal]

do people want to progress through the bp in a week?

i mean.. tbf i do myself but damn

[dusk fern]

nah but the weeklys should be enough in the end, maybe some grinding

I know some people got 80 hours a week to play but not me lol

[next onyx]

Kernal level.

I share this here because it will likely become relevant in the future.

[reef bough]

👀

[reef bough]

Lis takes so long for me but I nearly did Rao and done with casper

[tame cobalt]

Homies replacing EAC with EAAC and thinking we won't notice

[next onyx]

Why can't it be ring 1 not ring 0.

Ugh.

[quaint wigeon]

this kid MilkDudo thats in my games sometimes always talks shit and is at the bottom of the board😂

[next onyx]

They're fun to shit talk back.

[arctic grove]

Apex is kernel level as well most good anticheats are

[still zephyr]

Hello, one question... Who is responsible for updating Battlefield? Dice or Electronic Arts?

[tame cobalt]

[quaint wigeon]

i would be he left the game lol

[next onyx]

Kernel I think to a degree is fine but it's also rather concerning.

[arctic grove]

it’s not

[still zephyr]

I mean creating content for Battlefield

[next onyx]

1. If broken this means the hackers can bypass and access root access to the system.

2. It can mess with SSDs.

[tame cobalt]

Dice, which is a part of EA

[next onyx]

The mess with ssd part is kinda something I learned recently but the first one is more concerning.

[arctic grove]

all current games anti cheat is kernel level

[still zephyr]

thx friend

[arctic grove]

Val is

apex is

[next onyx]

Yeah valorant brought it into play.

Cod is too.

[arctic grove]

it’s not a topic that’s concerning don’t make it to be that way

it’s good to have it in fact

[next onyx]

Yeah true I always have concerns about these things.

I think it's great but I'm concerned about the worst like always but that's just a me thing.

I do wonder if they'll update 2042 with EAAC or do it for the next game.

[tame cobalt]

prolly next

[arctic grove]

i cant update ea is stuck on calculating time

[tame cobalt]

[limber garden]

Dafuq was stranded breakthrough removed?

Why

[tame cobalt]

Because they rotate different playlists as they've always done?

[still vault]

Rotations rotate

in a rotating manner

[tame cobalt]

[limber garden]

Why not rotate the conquest playlist then?

[still vault]

It was

[tame cobalt]

they did

strandmid was replaced by exodus

[livid citrus]

Fixed

Ram was running at a lower speed

[cosmic sequoia]

Glad you got it fixed!

How’d you figure that out? @livid citrus

[livid citrus]

Getting 144 fps now

Went into bios

Checked all my settings and saw that memory (ram) was oddly lower than 3200 speed

So I restored default settings and got it up to its max

[limber garden]

Not for me lol

[cosmic sequoia]

Oh weird

[clear birch]

so how broken is the hit reg? i can literally see my tracers flying through enemies but don't get hitmarkers

[cosmic sequoia]

@livid citrus but that’s good. Glad you got it!! Now you can be gaming

[still vault]

I don't see it not being changed. Sure you just have not noticed stuff like the player amount changing?

[limber garden]

Just let me confirm - when I go to conquest I should see exodus, right?

[cunning acorn]

Affirmative

[limber garden]

lmfao. I see stranded conquest.
Edit: I actually connect to stranded

[fiery shoal]

you normally gottta turn xmp to get your rated ram performance

if ever you get a boot error too it will turn off again too

[limber garden]

I guess Dice finally made a private conquest for me and other trash players alike

[still vault]

I have this. It was random 64 player maps last week.

[jade hill]

"kills with the SWS 10 From a distance of 125m"

Can someone explain this

It has to be excatly 125m?

Its for PSO-1M3 Scope

[worthy elbow]

I would assume its 125+ meters

[jade hill]

Its not

Tried it

[fiery shoal]

lol can you imagine "nope, 126m doesnt count"

[jade hill]

But tried 200m and 70ish m

Noone of them counted

[worthy elbow]

guess I'll try it then let you know if it counts on mine

[tacit sphinx]

it uh. definitely does just mean 125m+ lol

[worthy elbow]

Yup 360m counted

[dapper river]

does that mean stranded breakthrough 24/7 is gone?

[still vault]

Rotating things get rotated yes

[dapper river]

pain

what did it get replaced with?

[jade hill]

Yup ur right

Its 125+

[full burrow]

even worse exodus is gone

[dapper river]

oh so nothing, apparently

[lone void]

[arctic grove]

what

[solar obsidian]

bring back exodus!

[dapper river]

For Conquest, exodus got replaced with stranded 24/7. for Breakthrough, stranded 24/7 was removed and got replaced with... nothing. Simple as.

[arctic grove]

technically it got replaced with normal breakthrough

[next onyx]

Exodus should really be permanent.

[still vault]

The regular Breakthrough playlist is still there. It's not the end of the world.

[dapper river]

Normal breakthrough was already there though.

[shell ermine]

Is EA's kernel level anti-cheat coming to 2042?

[next onyx]

It's the only decent way to play conquest without dealing with the God awful map designs.

[still vault]

To what are you referring ?

[shell ermine]

Removing Exodus for the awful new map was the final nail in the coffin for me.

[shell ermine]

https://www.ea.com/security/news/eaac-deep-dive

[still vault]

As mentioned it is only announced for FIFA 23 so far

Isn't EAC kernel as well? I think it is.

[jade hill]

I want to post some pics here

can I dm someone ❤️

found secret second ship on stranded

not the best quality one

[wintry narwhal]

Is the default melee takedown really the fastest one? or does it just look that way

I feel like they should all take about the same time, just, appears not to be the case

[cosmic sequoia]

Oh my god that’s another thing… my melee take downs has never worked LOL

[wintry narwhal]

Someone answered in another chat, yes, default is fastest

[storm jolt]

breakthrough is so fun to get executions on

[wintry narwhal]

Lol

[cosmic sequoia]

I’ve literally never got an execution

[storm jolt]

sometimes can chain multiple before you get noticed

[cosmic sequoia]

I just pull my knife out and stand there like a dick head

[wintry narwhal]

tap

don't hold

[storm jolt]

yeah

[cosmic sequoia]

I’ve tapped and it never worked

[storm jolt]

have to wait for the prompt to appear

[wintry narwhal]

I won't argue lol, it's the new battlefield

Could easily be something game-side

[cosmic sequoia]

There’s a prompt?????

[storm jolt]

it displays when you are behind them

[cosmic sequoia]

I’ve never seen a prompt LOL

[wintry narwhal]

Yeah, it will come up when you're in position and close enough

[cosmic sequoia]

Jeeeez

[wintry narwhal]

You might be trying to stab them from call of duty range

You don't lunge in this

[cosmic sequoia]

I’ll have to put my glasses on

[storm jolt]

but once you get it it works pretty well

[cosmic sequoia]

No lol

I’m not talking commando pro

I’m talking I’m doing anal with the person and it does nothing

[wintry narwhal]

Maybe that's the problem

You're so far in them, you're out the other side

[cosmic sequoia]

Lmaoooo

[fiery shoal]

what a weird conversation

[keen loom]

[jade hill]

can I dm u some pictures

[arctic grove]

pictures of what???

[jade hill]

lmao

of game

want to post here

[solid imp]

puts on robe and wizard hat

[fiery shoal]

sure

[rich flicker]

Anyone wanna stream snipe me again tonight/today? Lol

That was fun yesterday haha

[fiery shoal]

@jade hill pictures

[wintry narwhal]

I feel like this

Is incorrect

somehow

Can't quite put my finger on what's wrong in these images

[proud gorge]

How to grind Lis with ez

See enemy spawn in recon car

Wait for them to bail out or throw 1 C5

Then hit with TGM

[arctic grove]

Nerf avancys

It is 0 skill and the best gun in the game.

[jade hill]

avancys is like assult rifle with 200 bullets

[arctic grove]

It’s all I die to or see in the feed and it takes 0 skill. No risk 100% reward

Why would anyone use anything else

[cosmic sequoia]

I wish they would add the super cobra helicopter

And buff the freaking hokum and Apache a little

[eager spire]

on a technical level the SFAR is better but yeah the Avancys is pretty strong. If only DICE had added a decent way to balance LMG's so that they're not AR's with massive mags, maybe by making it so they become less accurate as you hold down the trigger in full auto, so you have to burst to maintain accuracy. Maybe that would work, I don't know, it's a new concept, never really done before. It would be worth a try though.

[arctic grove]

In B4 you had to tap fire them or the spread went crazy and learn your engagements but avancys is good from and range has 0 recoil 0 spread high damage high fire rate

[eager spire]

I know i was being sarcastic as shit

They had a perfectly fine system of balancing LMG's in BF4, I don't know why they don't just do that.

[quaint wigeon]

DICE just likes taking a piss at us

[eager spire]

like DICE have ideas, they put them in their games, and then the next game gets made and they just decide to not take any of the good ideas they had previously and put them in the new game.

Like, DICE. You people decided to remove visual recoil from BF4 for a reason. WHY DID YOU PUT IT BACK IN BF1?

[arctic grove]

It’s like they took everything good that was in BF4 and BF1 out out and spat it out into 2042

[eager spire]

well BF1 didn't have much good about it.

[still vault]

All the new weapons are always overpowered, doesn't matter if they are or not 😄

[eager spire]

Everything good about BF1 was from BF4, and BF1 didn't even have everything that was good from BF4.

[eager spire]

ok thanks for the input

[rich flicker]

Discord's Finally on xbox bbbooyyyssss!!!

[storm jolt]

could also be that its a new gun people are trying to level up

[eager spire]

i'm sure that's why the Avancys is the only one really getting complaints while the AM40 and P51 sort of exist

[dapper river]

https://tenor.com/view/top-gun-fly-jet-inverted-camera-gif-16267966

[rich flicker]

[arctic grove]

I’ve only been playing the game 3/4 weeks as I got it cheap but there’s no variety in weapons, most of the maps are poorly designed and 0 cover. Who’s idea was it to make flat ground maps with 64/132 people in the game just running hoping not to get gunned down

[eager spire]

The maps are based on real life, which leads to this issue. Most of the maps are due for reworks to make them more playable.

[fiery shoal]

i think to balance lmgs they should be inaccurate at first, with prolonged firing making it better

[arctic grove]

I under stand giving it a shot but it’s getting outgunned by it at every range

[eager spire]

I like the BF4 method better.

[fiery shoal]

i didnt play bf4 lmgs, how were they then?

[dapper river]

Basically useless unless bipodded

[fiery shoal]

if its tap/burst fire that was all the weapons in bf4

[eager spire]

They were accurate for the first few shots but if you held down the trigger on full auto they would start to become really inaccurate. You had to burst fire them to maintain accuracy.

[fiery shoal]

thats just spread based mechanics in general

if lmgs were worse in that regard then ehh, i think that counteractive to how lmgs should be in a game

[arctic grove]

I just don’t know how dice haven’t learned since the launch of BF4 how badly they messed up and spent years making that game something incredible with the community’s help to then just scrap it all in the future titles. Every launch is rushed and they think it’s okay to release a game that needs another 3/4 years of work to make it right. How can you have something so perfect and then F it up

[tacit sphinx]

that’s also a really weird way of designing weapons that are for sustained fire

[eager spire]

yeah but LMG's had a higher spread increase rate.

[fiery shoal]

i mean.. i dont get the point in making a large mag weapon if the point of it is to burst to get be most effective

[quaint wigeon]

regular breakthru is just breakaway 24/7

[wintry narwhal]

Large magazines, i.e LMG's, are area denial weapons

They're not known for their accuracy

They're for bombarding an swathe of land with lots, and lots of bullets

[eager spire]

I don't have much problems with it, it requires knowing how the system works and how best to work around it to make the best use of it. It takes effort.

[fiery shoal]

i feel like they tried to make VREC initially kick hard enough to where it was at an initial disadvantage, like with the pkp, but generally its just not strong enough to really make them unviable

[fiery shoal]

its low effort, you just need the knowledge of "burst fire" to make it work

[fiery shoal]

problem with that is that its an fps sandbox, so making an entire weapon class basically not good at killing is pretty unfun

[arctic grove]

Plus TTK in this game is crazy fast

Don’t have time to react most of the time

[eager spire]

yeah but you also have to compensate for first shot recoil, and figure out how many shots you can get off before you have to reset the spread on whatever gun you're using.

[fiery shoal]

thats likely a reason why sustained fire getting accurate wont really work because of a fairly fast ttk

[hazy ruin]

wasgud broskis, y;all still playing this shit game??

[eager spire]

If it's so low effort you can try doing that yourself, see how well it works out for you.

[fiery shoal]

if thats suggesting i dont have the knowledge and/or skill to perform well in that scenario youre trying to apply that to the wrong person

just because i dont like a mechanic doesnt mean im bad at it

[eager spire]

I'm just saying it takes more effort than it sounds like it would in theory.

[fiery shoal]

i utterly wreck in bf1, performance wise i do better in that title to any other bf, yet bf1 is my least liked bf title

[eager spire]

BF1 LMG's i think work the same way but have permanently attached bipods so there's no good reason to ever not use it. And even then hipfire on them can be really good.

[fiery shoal]

imo make pkp vrec (especially first shot kick) be on the avancys or lcmg, make kick harder on pkp and have recoil be reduced over time

[eager spire]

but i'm biased cause i don't care for BF1, I felt like medic SLR's had way too much spread in that game, and also suppression existed to fuck them up in direct fights with fully automatic weapons.

[fiery shoal]

which the way they perform is kind of already that way, i just dont think its strong enough to make it anything more than an "ar with a larger mag" like someone said

basically lmgs are smg recoil with ar dmg and larger mag, make that recoil stronger initially so it doesnt impede on smgs territory and make it be more accurate over time so the large mag comes into play

[solar obsidian]

how about we just make laser weapons with zero recoil, no bullet drop, but very slow velocity

[fiery shoal]

sounds like an entirely different game

[solar obsidian]

shh

[quaint wigeon]

and you can play as guys with laser swords once you get enough points

[eager spire]

Meh, I don't see anything wrong with the BF4 way of balancing them, even if it's not entirely realistic, hardly anyone had any complaints in BF4, or anyone did, they just used bipods to counter the issue entirely. Those people are what i like to call cowards.

[fiery shoal]

its a bit different considering gun mechanics have evolved over a decade

[solar obsidian]

bf4 had major complaints back in the days

so many tools where down right too strong, but that was also the charm of the game

[eager spire]

oh i'm sure BF4 had it's complaints i just don't think the LMG's being the way they were is worth complaining about.

[solar obsidian]

bf moments

[fervent grotto]

Holy shit, off topic, but never it the school pizza

[eager spire]

good to know

[fervent grotto]

I’m suffering rn. That pizza was mid and not worth it

[eager spire]

rip

[solar obsidian]

you want to hear the saddest gaming news today?

[eager spire]

what

[grand prism]

Hey does anyone have the patch notes

[fervent grotto]

[eager spire]

oh yeah i heard of that

[solar obsidian]

#other-games

[proud gorge]

Goldeneye 2042

[solar obsidian]

sorry, just had to get it out

[fierce gull]

how tf do I buy the new dozer helmet separately

[eager spire]

but Pikmin 4 got announced so it's fine

[tacit sphinx]

collection > dozer > headgear

[fierce gull]

I can't buy it

it just says view bundle

[proud gorge]

Then bundle sadly

[south grotto]

Was why breakthrough stranded removed? It was legit the only fun mode in this game

[fierce gull]

bruh

why tf is there a price for the helmet

yet you can't buy it

[quaint wigeon]

its a rotation

[wintry narwhal]

The things change weekly afaik

[quaint wigeon]

also u had fun on that busted ass map lol?

[wintry narwhal]

Shouldn't come as a surprise

[quaint wigeon]

i only liked it cuz its infantry heavy

[south grotto]

Yeah, also it required more skill than the BS helicopter fest that are other modes

[edgy oriole]

why does falck skin have to be legendary.

[wintry narwhal]

I always gravitated to infantry only modes too

But helis are less, invincible in this so y'know, less to complain about

[fiery shoal]

stranded top 3 maps without a doubt, at least on conquest

[quaint wigeon]

wym all u gotta do is play roa and stingers lol

[quaint wigeon]

on BT its shit

[edgy oriole]

[south grotto]

Useless, they don't even one shot and those spam flares all the way. AND THEY FUCKING AUTO REPAIR

[fiery shoal]

for infantry conquest 128:

manifest > stranded > exposure > discarded > kaleidoscope > orbital > hourglass > renewal > breakaway

[keen loom]

Buy it

[wintry narwhal]

Rao

Hack, watch it blow up a lot quicker than usual

[edgy oriole]

i dont even know what it looks like

[keen loom]

[edgy oriole]

plus dozer sucks ass. so the sugar skull is the only thing i bought for him

[wintry narwhal]

I like dozer

[keen loom]

Boris is the way

[wintry narwhal]

NOthing like throwing down smoke, and just smacking people in the face until they learn to use molotovs

[quaint wigeon]

did u just say rao is useless😂

[wintry narwhal]

Think he was thinking of lis

[edgy oriole]

im mad that falcks skin is legendary. the helmet sucks

[quaint wigeon]

yo thats wild B😂

[wintry narwhal]

Pretty much all of falkes skins suck lol, lesser of the evils

[south grotto]

Everything is useless when it comes to vehicles in this game

[edgy oriole]

sadly you are correct. no love for mommy

[keen loom]

Motherless

[quaint wigeon]

what are u saying😂

[keen loom]

[fiery shoal]

falcks orange and white skin is dope

thats my main

[south grotto]

Facts

[eager spire]

tanks don't even have APS what do you mean

[quaint wigeon]

these sound like skill issues my friend

[eager spire]

things are effective against vehicles you're just stupid

[edgy oriole]

legendary and you get an extra light for the ez headshot.

[south grotto]

Come 1v1 me I'll show you who has the skill issues there

[rich flicker]

Yea.. hacks are effective against vehicles

[wintry narwhal]

Oh, yeah the orange one's not bad

[keen loom]

Why she staring at me like that

[wintry narwhal]

I just haven't hit 89 yet

[edgy oriole]

sucks that they make her digital camo legendary oh well.

[wintry narwhal]

I came back at the end of season 1, because i wanted the crossbow, hadn't touched it since launch

t1 crossbow now though, love that thing

[edgy oriole]

yatagara 1/10 worst bundle actually.

[wintry narwhal]

I kinda like it

At least, the mp9 and heli skins are nice

[quaint wigeon]

oh did i strike a nerve? did i accidentally HE Bomb your feelings🤣

[wintry narwhal]

Not what i'd normally go for, but kinda clean

[fierce gull]

only good shit I see is dozer's helmet but I can't buy it

[fiery shoal]

only problem is its bright which doesnt do anything for hiding, but i like it anyway

[edgy oriole]

i cant even look at it

[wintry narwhal]

Honestly with all the paiks around, i stopped trying to hide in general

[south grotto]

Are you too scared? Or are you just another console peasant that only plays against AI?

[eager spire]

with the amount of shit that can just spot you passively there's really no point

[wintry narwhal]

You won't catch me in any of the "snow" camos for the specialists, but the guns, anything goes

[keen loom]

[keen loom]

Console peasant? What is this 2012

[quaint wigeon]

no im just not gonna waste my time on someone bitching so hard about vehicles in this game, they suck for the most part😂

why dont u hop in a heli yourself and take down the enemy heli? or u cant fly a heli either?

[south grotto]

Don't bother arguing and calling me bad if your only arguments are "Im NoT gOnNa WaStE mY tImE" then, smh

[quaint wigeon]

skill issue

[south grotto]

Because I'd rather use my skills to win than relying on some dumb mechanic

[keen loom]

Lol

[quaint wigeon]

u saying heli drivers dont have skill?

[south grotto]

They barely have half a brain tbh

[quaint wigeon]

so why dont u fly them?

[solar obsidian]

[quaint wigeon]

okay then mr full brain fly one

[eager spire]

Vehicle play tends to take some effort, especially in flying vehicles. Granted, flying vehicles in this game are not as in-depth as they were in say, BF4, but to say they're brainless is really reductive.

[south grotto]

Too busy shitting on them as they parachute upon hearing the "lock on" sound

[quaint wigeon]

^

[quaint wigeon]

sure then whats the issue then?

[eager spire]

though i'd argue most of the really good heli pilots in 2042 are ones that were good in BF4 just in a different game.

[south grotto]

The damages they do when hitting infantry and the way they're getting carried by their flares

[quaint wigeon]

yeah the community knows thats why they've been getting nerf after nerf

[solar obsidian]

i should grab the fries with so much salt you leave in here damon

[south grotto]

Do so and grow your already huge belly even more please

[arctic grove]

she looks chubby

[south grotto]

Maybe you'll get some actual money and will therefore stop living off social programs if you end up making a BBW onlyfans account. You know, just some tips here and there.

[quaint wigeon]

the stealth helis have done irreparable damage to buddy over here

[solar obsidian]

getting tips from someone being toxic over a casual game...

[eager spire]

Granted, part of their effectiveness in this game is likely due to the fact that using them is not really as deep as it was in BF4. In BF4, if someone was doing REALLY well in an attack heli, they probably spent a long while learning how to play well with it. 2042, most major mechanics involving helis could be learned within a few hours or so. There's not much depth here.

[quaint wigeon]

this is crazy projection

[south grotto]

I'm not here to make friends

[eager spire]

also chill i'm trying to talk

[tough sonnet]

most sane battlefield player

[quaint wigeon]

man trying to learn helis in BF4 fuckin sucked huge learning curve

[eager spire]

Yeah but that's what balanced them. There's a huge learning curve, but once you took the time to learn it and got really good with it, you were fucking good with it.

And that's what vehicles in this game seem to lack. Any sort of learning curve, really.

[quaint wigeon]

he's in here to shill for the extinction of vehicles boy, hey there's some devs in here why dont u @ them🤣

[quaint wigeon]

no ik thats why i appreciated dedicated heli pilots it just sucked for me tryna learn lol

[south grotto]

Because devs just execute orders, they don't have any impact on the gameplay itself

[eager spire]

yeah, that's fair

[solar obsidian]

[south grotto]

Here's an example @solar obsidian could relate to. It'll be like complaining why your average soda has so much sugar inside to the cashier.

[quaint wigeon]

@fervent grotto we have a brother here searching for intense infantry style gameplay, i think you can show him something

[fervent grotto]

Uh oh

Who?

[eager spire]

There's not much point. The guy clearly doesn't wanna have a discussion, he just wants to be mad.

[fervent grotto]

Is it Damon?

[eager spire]

There's a reason he's been largely ignoring me.

[fervent grotto]

I stg the no pfp people are always the trouble causers

[quaint wigeon]

@south grotto meet @fervent grotto he's got a great game to show you, a "fire" one he would say in fact

[fervent grotto]

Their either racist or stupid

[quaint wigeon]

could be both

[eager spire]

no profile picture is a red flag

[quaint wigeon]

usually both lol

[fervent grotto]

Yea lmao

[eager spire]

like i donno how long it takes for the "I'm new to Discord!" thing to go away, but it's a bit sus when you don't even think to change your pfp in that time.

[fervent grotto]

Damon you should play cod

[south grotto]

MW2 is gonna be as worse as Vanguard and Cold War was. Copying successful titles never worked.

[fervent grotto]

Yep checks out

Hates cod, complains about bf, still plays bf

[eager spire]

I mean it's mostly MW19

they know how to do that

they can't really fuck that up

[quaint wigeon]

i hate on COD too but ik MW2 is gona be fire

[fervent grotto]

It’s just funny

[quaint wigeon]

i hate on it cuz the companies are so cash grab

[eager spire]

I've not seen any good footage of MW2. I have no strong opinions about it at the moment.

I'll look at beta gameplay once that's out and decide how i feel about it then

[south grotto]

I never said that I didn't liked BF though. I said that I didn't liked the vehicle part.

[quaint wigeon]

they're gona pan for nostalgia and thats all they need to do really

[fervent grotto]

There’s not really any. We’ve only really gotten little tidbits so far. The only multiplayer gameplay we’ve gotten looked like it was fried in a microwave 💀

[fervent grotto]

So you don’t like one of the main staples of bf?

[uneven sorrel]

Hello

[quaint wigeon]

have you played other bfs?

[eager spire]

You don't like how vehicles work in 2042. Which is understandable, but you have a critical misunderstanding of the problems vehicle gameplay in this game has.

[quaint wigeon]

or is it just in 2042 thats the problem

[south grotto]

Exactly.

[fervent grotto]

💀

[quaint wigeon]

😂 😂 😂

[south grotto]

I played BF4 when I was a kid

[fervent grotto]

Of course you did

[eager spire]

okay, and what do you think of vehicles in that game

[fervent grotto]

This is like reading a manual on how to be a bf “hater”

-has played older game in childhood
-hates cod
-dislikes main staple of game
-doesn’t offer up ideas on how to change it, but rather wants to remove it
-says they like game but really don’t

[quaint wigeon]

i think he likes the gunplay but not the vehicles

[uneven sorrel]

who ?

[south grotto]

Not much. I only used Infantry back then, and you know, only played it the way some boomers probably played games on their Nintendo 64 and stuff.

[quaint wigeon]

if so there are game modes that offer that

[bronze steeple]

Bp is stuck doesnt do the missions

[quaint wigeon]

worked fine for me try restarting

[fervent grotto]

Just read above

[uneven sorrel]

cares

[bronze steeple]

Oke i try tomorrow new day new changes

[quaint wigeon]

damon get mad at your team for not trying hard enough or even attempting to do something about the single stealth heli rather than the game itself this is a team game there are 31 other ppl on your side

[eager spire]

or 63

[quaint wigeon]

and if they're not just voice it in chat

"help with heli pls"

[placid echo]

It just takes one recoilless rocket or a TGM from Lis

[south grotto]

So first, I don't get how playing older games could make my arguments worthless. Second, I do like COD. I have probably like 500 hours across all of my accounts. Please don't make assumptions over something that was not even evoked.

Third, if this title was all built around vehicles, they would have probably exclusively teased such in their trailer. And promoted infantry in most of it.

Fourth, I did offered some solutions though? Even if it wasn't that explicit, I suggested to bring back 24/7 Stranded Breakthrough. It's not even a nerf so it's not gonna make the virgins in helicopters cry all over that non-sense platform that is Twitter.

Fifth, I do like the game and its gunplay though. if I have one complain about it, it might be the TTK, which I find way too low. But it's not that big of an issue anyway, as if you have great placement you won't die that much.

[bronze steeple]

On my way t1 the pf51

[quaint wigeon]

its easy to do on 24/7 stranded

[low timber]

We need a 1:1 weapon charm of the Hardline burger

[bronze steeple]

You have?

Half way now

Same for avancys

[quaint wigeon]

yeah but its a rotation it rotates, itll be back next week

[eager spire]

they rotate out gamemodes, that's just what they do. They might bring back 24/7 Stranded Breakthrough later, but for right now, it's not in the game.

[bronze steeple]

And almost 1000kills am40

[quaint wigeon]

yeah i got all the new guns except the vault weapons t1

[eager spire]

Frankly, I hate rotating gamemodes about as much as i hate rotating storefronts but there's not much that can really be done about it.

[quaint wigeon]

yup now we have 24/7 breakaway

[placid echo]

I'm surprised the store doesn't really rotate in this game and everything is available

[eager spire]

and like, i'm already doing the least possible here.

[fervent grotto]

Playing an older game doesn’t invalidate your opinion, it’s just very common among bf haters. Second of all, you did say that cod would be trash. I took that as hating the franchise. If you don’t, well then I stand corrected. I never said this game was all about vehicles, but they are a huge staple in bf. And rotating game modes is a thing. They can’t keep one mode permanent.

[eager spire]

don't give DICE ideas.

[placid echo]

BFV's store was rotating for like 99% of its live service until like the final update

Or one of the final updates

[south grotto]

That's straight up sad tbh

[paper geyser]

where can i find help when i get errors?

[fervent grotto]

Ok yea wtf is the deal with rotating storefronts?

[eager spire]

yeah and i'm sure people got sick of that which is why they didn't do that for 2042.

[eager spire]

FOMO

[fervent grotto]

Wouldn’t that just lower financial gains?

[quaint wigeon]

conquest can be fun

[bronze steeple]

[bronze steeple]

Who wants that

[eager spire]

if you see something in the store you like, you're more incentivized to buy it if it's only gonna be there for a limited time, and it's up in the air when and if it'll ever come back in the store at a later date.

[fervent grotto]

Ahh I see

[placid echo]

Every store item is available still, just look for it

[eager spire]

MW19 did this a lot.

[fervent grotto]

Yeah I know that

[quaint wigeon]

nah FOMO hits ppl hard enough for them to give EA their money lol

[fervent grotto]

I hate it

[eager spire]

I hate it as well. It's not why i didn't buy MW19, but i do hate it.

[quaint wigeon]

no one but thats what the regular breakthru playlist feels like

[eager spire]

The concept is predatory. That's just the long and short of it, even for cosmetics.

[fiery shoal]

thats a bit extreme

[eager spire]

No it's not.

[fiery shoal]

especially in regards to a completely optional and trivial item

[quaint wigeon]

its sort of the same as Gacha logic if that makes sense

[fervent grotto]

It is predatory, that’s not an argument

[placid echo]

Honestly, it's just items to make you look 'cooler' so I don't care.

Even then it doesn't exist for 2042 now

[fiery shoal]

exaggerated word choice to somehow hype up the victimhood, not my style

its like if someone barely pushed you and you run around saying they shoved you

[eager spire]

still, takes advantage of more addiction prone people to sell shit they don't even need.

[bronze steeple]

Breakaway sucks balls

[placid echo]

Hey, at least it's not lootboxes

[quaint wigeon]

yeah ive played 4 games on it today already and i got off lol

[quaint wigeon]

LOL

[fervent grotto]

Not really. It’s predation. They play on peoples feelings in order get peoples money.

[fiery shoal]

if the worst thing about getting meaningless cosmetics is that its limited time... what a petty complaint imo

[bronze steeple]

1 is einough for me

[south grotto]

Being racist is really common among white people, does that mean I am? I said that it would be trash because let's clear things up: Cold War was just another BO2, it was bad. Vanguard was another WW2, it was also bad. MW2 is just gonna be well, another MW2 maybe with the MW2019 mechanics, but I highly doubt they'll manage to do something as good as it. Things aside, I genuinely loved MW2019.

It's like saying Fortnite is all about building, which used to be true, but isn't anymore. Franchises can update, for the better sometimes, or the worst. They can definitely keep one mode permanent. There are enough players to do so, and it'll actually bring way more attention to the game if they make a good one. 24/7 Stranded was good, better than the standard Breakthrough mode, but still had issues.

[fiery shoal]

neither of those definitions apply to limited time cosmetics...

[placid echo]

I will add to this by saying I've bought most bundles

[south grotto]

Yeah, I'm having fun when playing conquest with friends, all alone it just isn't though.

[bronze steeple]

Qc and bt for me

[quaint wigeon]

really? i feel like they can do way better than what they've been giving us so i havent bought any just separate items

[placid echo]

Can we cut down on some of the wording and over the top analogies just a bit? We don't need to mention racism in any way. This is video game discussion

[fervent grotto]

Well then it’s not predation, but it’s definitely a scummy tactic to try and gain money.

[quaint wigeon]

that being said tho the sfar legendary skin is clean

[eager spire]

"FOMO in recent years has been attributed to a number of negative psychological and behavioral symptoms. FOMO has increased in recent times due to advancements in technology. Social networking sites create many opportunities for FOMO. While it provides opportunities for social engagement, it offers a view into an endless stream of activities in which a person is not involved. Psychological dependence on social media can lead to FOMO or even pathological internet use. FOMO is also present in video games, investing, and business marketing. The increasing popularity of the phrase has led to related linguistic and cultural variants. FOMO is associated with worsening depression and anxiety, and a lowered quality of life."

From the wikipedia page for FOMO.

[fiery shoal]

they hack stupid people. thats how life is. if you want to call it scummy then im fine with that, but like i said, using exaggerated words like predatory is just trying to hype up victimhood which is dishonest imo

[eager spire]

"Within video games, FOMO is also used to describe the similar anxiety around missing the ability to obtain in-game items or complete activities that are only available for a limited time, such as those in battle passes. This is particularly common for multiplayer video games, where such items are cosmetic in nature but reflect a player's skill to other players in the game and can become a sign of social standing within the game's community; failure to acquire a limited cosmetic item may lead to social outcasting particularly in groups of younger players."

[fervent grotto]

It is 😔

[quaint wigeon]

they usually try to hack the children

[eager spire]

"they hack stupid people" I genuinely hate that phrasing.

[quaint wigeon]

we forget that there's hella kids playing these games lol

[fiery shoal]

more accurate than some sort of "predatory" twist

[quaint wigeon]

but yeah kids are dumb and are gona wanna get all the new cool lookin shit

[fiery shoal]

not to mention kids dont have access to buying these things on their own

[placid echo]

Kids play all sorts of games, including ones I cannot mention

[fervent grotto]

Predation is a commonly used word when describing situations like this. I’m not doing it to try and “hype up” victimhood. And it’s not used to get stupid people, every common person experiences FOMO. You ever wanted to go do something with your friends but you couldn’t? FOMO. Calling people stupid for a common thing is in itself a bit stupid.

[eager spire]

someone being prone to addiction or being literally a child doesn't mean they're fucking stupid and deserve to be treated as money dispensers for large corporations.

[quaint wigeon]

not that i had this privelege but mommy's credit card is an option

[fiery shoal]

id argue they are stupid..

[wintry narwhal]

I have to agree that FOMO/Time limited items are a kinda predatory

[fiery shoal]

are we saying kids arent stupid?

[wintry narwhal]

While not exactly the most evil thing in the world, they do incentivise you to "Buy now or maybe lose out forever"

[fervent grotto]

They’d stop doing time limited things if it wasn’t predatory

[wintry narwhal]

It's thinly veiled coercion, or in modern terms

Marketing

[eager spire]

and i'd argue that even if that were the case, that doesn't justify it. You don't justify stealing money from someone because they're stupid.

[quaint wigeon]

yeah man but kids are the most vulnerable that doesnt make it right to target them in such a way

[fiery shoal]

of course, but when it comes to completely optional and trivial shit like cosmetics, if it bothers any individual that much id say their priorities are illogical and their emotions are not in check

[fervent grotto]

Never said that kids weren’t stupid, but assuming all kids are stupid or that all players are kids is stupid as well.

[wintry narwhal]

Yeah i can't say it's the biggest issue in the world lol.

[eager spire]

yeah fuck me for having particular feelings on the subject.

[fiery shoal]

more exaggerated word choice, theres absolutely no stealing involved at all

[eager spire]

i'm sorry, i'll try not to next time. Prick.

[wintry narwhal]

Relax man, people can have different opinions

It's the internet, they always do

[wise zodiac]

[fiery shoal]

dont gotta resort to name calling because i have a different view than you

[placid echo]

Please tone down any name calling or insulting

[fiery shoal]

never did that though...

[placid echo]

No need to go to that level

[fervent grotto]

I’m not trying to say it’s a giant problem, but it is a bad practice and I believe it should be stopped. It’s like loot boxes

[wise zodiac]

The minute name calling starts, I'll be ending the discussion.

[quaint wigeon]

see i agree with this when pertaining to an adult but its really the kids im preaching for

[fiery shoal]

already touched on this earlier.. tldr kids dont have access to this without a parents consent

[placid echo]

We can call kids stupid though as long as we're not targeting people directly

[wintry narwhal]

Yeah, loot boxes/gacha should not be legal. Getting kids into gambling at that age should not be allowed

[fervent grotto]

You said “So we’re assuming kids aren’t stupid…”

[fervent grotto]

Nah man they’re surprise mechanics

[wintry narwhal]

😩

[fiery shoal]

a general statement doesnt not mean ALL kids or ALL players...

[eager spire]

On some level kids are stupid but that's purely due to a lack of life experience, and can't exactly be blamed on them.

[wintry narwhal]

I know some very intelligent kids, and some very stupid adults

Life experience plays the biggest part, most kids just haven't been around long enough to have a grounded understanding of things however

It's why they cry when pokemon faint

[fervent grotto]

Then why say kids? Why not most or some?

[placid echo]

We are also talking about kids playing a game rated 18+

[fiery shoal]

because the topic moved to kids by other people...

[eager spire]

yes but the ESRB has been practically irrelevant for years now recon

[wintry narwhal]

Everyone just kept saying things about kids, i bandwagoned, sue me. I'm just waiting for food to be ready 😛

[fervent grotto]

Ok? Still doesn’t stop you from generalizing

[fiery shoal]

sounds like a parenting fault, which i would argue FOMO on trivial shit is as well

[fiery shoal]

again, a generalization does not mean ALL like you directly said

[fervent grotto]

ERSB is one of the most irrelevant companies in modern times

[fiery shoal]

kids are generally stupid, that sentence does not mean ALL kids are stupid

[wintry narwhal]

I know one kid that knows every dinosaur

Do you?

Kid smart

[fervent grotto]

Yes, that’s what a generalization means. It’s supposed to be widely placed on that group. I’m this case kids

[fiery shoal]

no, and i envy that kid for that knowledge

[wintry narwhal]

Right? awesome thing to have randomly memorized

[fiery shoal]

ok.. so if you acknowledge that now why did you say that i said ALL kids?

[upbeat sluice]

Unrelated to this spat, but unironically Flak is fair and balanced

[fiery shoal]

falck best op in game, just maybe not the most fun

[wintry narwhal]

If only she had more than one nice skin 😩

[upbeat sluice]

No I'm talking about the flak pod on vehicles

[wintry narwhal]

o

I thought we were just continuing the theme of getting Falkes name wrong

[upbeat sluice]

Shouldn't have capitalized lol

[quaint wigeon]

i really want them to do better in the specialist skin department

[fiery shoal]

oooo sorry

[quaint wigeon]

i want em to go crazy

[fervent grotto]

Ok hold on. Your getting confused here. I did not just accept that. I’m saying a generalization is a statement that is supposed to apply to the group. Meaning all

[wintry narwhal]

I imagine the teams they were going to have working on cosmetics, are busy building cover/assets for the level reworks instead

[quaint wigeon]

all they're doin rn is making bush wookie suits and sand camo pretty boring shit

[upbeat sluice]

But yeah I'm tired of seeing whining about flak pod on the subreddits and forums. It's powerful but it requires team coordination

[fervent grotto]

Anyways I’m just gonna stop because this is pointless and has gone completely off topic (not because of you or anyone in particular) and also I just feel like I’m about to throw up my own stomach so imma head out

[wintry narwhal]

Your first mistake was going to the reddit of an FPS game

Nothing good can come from that

[quaint wigeon]

the 60m flak pod is great for helis

[upbeat sluice]

Yeah that's true

[fiery shoal]

then id argue you dont know the definition of a generalization

A generalization is a form of abstraction whereby common properties of specific instances are formulated as general concepts or claims.

a generalization by definition does not mean its 100% (aka all)

[upbeat sluice]

@quaint wigeon it's also good for camping and dug in infantry

[wise zodiac]

You go to reddit if you want to have your last brain cells die.

[wintry narwhal]

I can't afford that

[wise zodiac]

Especially r/battlefield

[wintry narwhal]

I have so few left

[eager spire]

r/battlefield has some of the stupidest motherfuckers i've ever talked to.

[upbeat sluice]

I just don't want my sweet 60mm fucked with

[wintry narwhal]

My place of work wanted me to help out moderating their reddit

Flat out refused

[quaint wigeon]

lol u interacted with them? L

[wintry narwhal]

Wan't nothing to do with reddit

[eager spire]

Oh god, modding the reddit

[wintry narwhal]

See. that's how few braincells i have left, i put a goddamn apostrophe in want

[eager spire]

I moderated a reddit airsoft discord server once. Fucking terrible.

[upbeat sluice]

And I can see the wave of whiners and bad players complaining about 60 mm flak

[solar obsidian]

sounds truly savage

[quaint wigeon]

shouldve asked for a raise and a better healthcare deal

[eager spire]

Like, i've had people tell me that I could do community moderation as a job

[wise zodiac]

Reddit is just braincell killing central.

[eager spire]

I barely like doing it for free.

[wintry narwhal]

Wouldn't be worth the loss of sanity

It's bad enough handling the discord

[placid echo]

I sometimes post clips and memes on reddit. The worst people are the ones that invent their own reason for getting mad and then ranting about it

[dark mural]

That's people in general.

[placid echo]

And then pinning it on the game of course

[wise zodiac]

This is for all of you who need to just zen out right now in this channel:

[eager spire]

r/battlefield seems to mostly be people being wrong, and then being so stuck in what they think is true that they refuse to hear any arguments.

[wise zodiac]

You all need to experience the trinity of wholesomeness.

[wintry narwhal]

I had a look at r/battlefield once, can't remember what i was looking for, probably a workaround or fix for something

It was mostly just people complaining, and the occasional clip

[quaint wigeon]

no what we need is the orbital rework

[eager spire]

I mostly just look at reddit for art now.

[wise zodiac]

"Art"

Subjective

[wintry narwhal]

Oh no

[wise zodiac]

Lol

[eager spire]

coughs.

Anyway.

[placid echo]

Pictures of cats

[wintry narwhal]

So about them falke skins eh

[arctic grove]

theres an update!

[wintry narwhal]

I really do hope we get a better tier of skin for things

[arctic grove]

on pc at least

[eager spire]

mechanical keyboards actually but cats do show up yes.

[dark mural]

I went to a museum for art. Was nice.

[wintry narwhal]

The weapon skins from the battlepass have been pretty disappointing

Not all, but the more generic ones, that look like the normal weapon, with a paintjob

[wise zodiac]

Oh hey

[wintry narwhal]

You know the ones

[wise zodiac]

It's lemons brother, orange.

[arctic grove]

thats me

[placid echo]

What rhymes with orange?

[arctic grove]

door hinge

porridge

[wintry narwhal]

X Æ A-Xii

[placid echo]

Yes

[quaint wigeon]

i need new paik drip the geisha one is sorta cool in the face department but sorta dont like how her scanner on her head looks, across all skins tbh

[wise zodiac]

Eminem can make anything rhyme with orange

[dark mural]

I think it's funny that the carbon skins you get for the guns for doing pretty much nothing are better than 90% of the skins they've added to the shops.

[wintry narwhal]

Yeah, i'm a fan of them

[placid echo]

That won't change since it comes down when you use it

[wintry narwhal]

I liked a couple of the bush guns

and that shotgun skin from s1 was just

chef kiss

[dark mural]

Ha, I watched Em ryhme orange on an interview, dude is goat for a reason.

[wintry narwhal]

The dune m5a3 pretty too

I just want that kind of treatment for all the guns, instead of a purple vcar digi camo

[quaint wigeon]

yeah i figured they sorta wana keep all the skins in a realistic BF way but i wouldnt mind some futuristic looking skins

[wise zodiac]

Mister Eminem.

[wintry narwhal]

make them special, y'know

I feel like we deserve a few futuristic weapons too

I'm still a little shocked we don't have anything like that.

bf4 had a railgun

[quaint wigeon]

in like its 2042

we still in 2022

[dark mural]

Chainsaws.

[wintry narwhal]

I mean i'm not expecting pew pew space lasers or anything like that

But you've got a license to be creative with things

[placid echo]

EX-1

[wintry narwhal]

Go nuts... dice? idk who actually made 2042

[quaint wigeon]

in 2042 Tesla and SpaceX will have moved into the defense industry and now we have electric tanks

[wintry narwhal]

You have to get to a hydrogen charging station every 3 shots

There's a queue

[dark mural]

In 2042 everyone is gonna be hooked on Brawndo

[wintry narwhal]

It has what plants crave

[placid echo]

You need to pay bitcoin whenever you reload

[quaint wigeon]

our lifespan is determined by how much bitcoin we have like that movie "In Time"

[fiery shoal]

what a fucking weird movie

[quaint wigeon]

it really was lol

[ebon pilot]

EPG

[solar obsidian]

bfg and a railgun, sign me up

[keen loom]

[fiery shoal]

kind of ugly ngl

[keen loom]

[fiery solar]

yes i would like a blue and white ps5 controller with a couple dogs on it while i play ragnarok for 30 minutes and delete it cause the ps5 storage only holds 3 triple A titles

[errant socket]

Whats up with the matchmaking on PC rn?

[fiery shoal]

whats happening?

[errant socket]

lol nvmd, steam forgot its allowed to auto download

I saw a few dings on down detector and a comment

[arctic grove]

Just played a game where a sniper hiding in our spawn was top of the leaderboard sniping across the map, being completely useless when we needed everyone to push. So I spent the last 5 mins of the already lost match throwing smokes at him so he couldn't see. He quit just before the game finished and we had lost. Fucking loser.

[errant socket]

Your name is beyond fitting

[sinful merlin]

anyone having issues with getting into breakthrough i get the 10 sec count down then it just kicks me back to main menu screen

does this over and over

[tacit sphinx]

ngl if theyre top of the leaderboard sounds like theyre doing something right

[arctic grove]

36 kills no deaths

literally nothing else

[tacit sphinx]

out of the two players in this situation one was getting kills and denying the enemy reinforcements and one was... throwing smokes at a friendly player

[eager spire]

not hard to get 0 deaths hiding in your spawn

nobody's going to bother pushing that far.

[tacit sphinx]

idk i think i know who i'd rather have on my team here

[arctic grove]

was an angel with a resupply crate sniping from A point in breakthrough on stranded

[arctic grove]

he got what he deserved

all he cared about was his score/KD

[tacit sphinx]

ok

or they just wanted to snipe and was doing decently at it, which can be a valuable asset

whereas you cried about it and actively removed yourself from being at all useful then went to discord to brag about being annoying

[arctic grove]

literally don't give a fuck my dude

[tacit sphinx]

sure

[fiery shoal]

imagine caring that much about what the top of a leaderboard player is doing in a casual sandbox fps...

yea i get annoyed at what some players do like not reviving or running in massive groups only holding 1 point, but im not gonna go out of my way to be useless to "counter' them

[arctic grove]

I was more annoyed at the fact that when our team got pushed back and needed to respawn on that point, there was tons of people needing revives and he just stood there continuing to snipe

if you are gonna play angel, do your fucking job

as I said, by the time I lost my temper the game was already lost anyway, made no fucking difference what I did

[tacit sphinx]

sure

[fiery shoal]

its not about the end result being the same, its more about how low you stooped in a casual game, especially against someone not even doing bad...

[arctic grove]

whatever

games are my venting

[tacit sphinx]

so is discord apparently

[fiery shoal]

sorry you didnt get the applause you wanted in here for essentially being a jerk in a game...

[arctic grove]

no worries, all good

[copper fulcrum]

Don't worry, I'm probably a cause for some people getting mad and returning here to vent.

[fiery shoal]

i can only hope im a cause for rage

[next onyx]

There are those annoying teammates sure.

[low timber]

Last round I played before going offline I went 15/0, and it was 1 kills with Avancys and 14 with the mounted Vulcan

Fyi, I did go down few times but there were good medics.

[keen loom]

[solar obsidian]

players flexing with stats

i killed a armored vehicle with the emp

[fiery shoal]

random

[solar obsidian]

yep

[low timber]

I somehow did kill a Bolte with the Drone EMP once

[solar obsidian]

i dont feel bad for the bolte driver

[tacit sphinx]

it does like 1 damage with the emp

which i learned when i got 5 kills on a full MAV lol

[jade hill]

Golden cammo when

[low timber]

That clip was before they added that damage, I believe

[tacit sphinx]

the emp grenade is good at activating friendly + enemy explosives, have killed a couple of vehicles by accidentally activating friendly c5 while doing EMP challenges

also the AT mines the bolte can lay? it works on them and if you happen to time it correctly... yeah

[low timber]

I’ve detonated a downed friendly players C5 attached to a tank with the incendiary grenade

[next onyx]

It's always funny destroying your own friendly equipment to get someone. Especially the mines.

[copper fulcrum]

Also defaults ownership of control panels for doors and whatnot

[tacit sphinx]

afaik it's always been there

yeah

[next onyx]

Can rao hack the doors from the other side?

[tacit sphinx]

EMp honestly underrated, it's a neat utility thing

[next onyx]

Rao's hack is like an emp dart. Except with a special name.

[low timber]

Speaking of the AT mines, during the latest flashback conquest on Caspian an enemy tank drove over my mines and they didn’t detonate.

[low timber]

As long as you see the door, then yes

[next onyx]

I'd ask if they were disabled by an emp but the emp would have blown them up.

Yeah I always thought about the control panel part.

[low timber]

And few round before it on Valparaiso an enemy Ram drove also over my mines that didn’t detonate, until they reversed over them.

[next onyx]

It would help with the metal detectors.

The fact that anti armour ignores Aps Is fucking annoying.

I'm just surprised the dude backed up on your mines.

[low timber]

Well the road from B to A2 is narrow

And they got greeted by our tank

[vast cloak]

ZEXTEN!!!!!!!!! @solar obsidian

Where the hell you been

[granite island]

How do people even jam the doors in this game

I mostly die because of them

[next onyx]

@low timber Totally valid argument to back up into some mines.

[granite island]

Because I get tricked thinking it would open

[solar obsidian]

been playing path of exile half my days being awake

[next onyx]

The doors are jammed because of enemy team ownership.

You can force them open.
