[fringe spire]

that also goes against realism

when firing, the round spends more time in the gun, gives more time for the powder to combust

also, more total weight helps with recoil

[eager spire]

I’m primarily thinking in terms of video game balance. I am not considering realism.

[fringe spire]

yea

[kindred flint]

can the pkp get balanced to have as much recoil as the m240?

[eager spire]

I do not particularly care about it. I will be unrealistic with balance as long as it makes things interesting, fair, or both.

[drowsy shuttle]

I love the ghostmaker so much i wanna marry with it and have lil ghostmakeries

[kindred flint]

this isnt your personal kink channel 💀

[drowsy shuttle]

Thats not kink... thats love

[eager spire]

But yeah, I don’t think realism really needs to be considered when it comes to balancing an arcade shooter. What should be more important is if the balance is fair, and if it makes the game interesting or engaging to play.

[kindred flint]

this fucking 4-1 ghost hybrid sight keeps changing zoom

[eager spire]

Unfortunate

[dapper river]

Wow! dead chat!!!

[pine roost]

What do people think of the new pistol?

I tried it out against bots before heading to bed and I think I’ll need a bit more time to figure out what it’s really best for

[drowsy shuttle]

Played a bit.. didnt liked it.. went back to g57.. i also dont like the look of it

[pine roost]

I like how it looks, but it just feels kind of off

Just an alternate glock if you want that

[magic bloom]

I like the new pistol

[eager spire]

Glock is still the best pistol in the game

[crimson basin]

So when is the glock getting buffed?

[eager spire]

It doesn’t need to be buffed.

It already got a buff.

[magic bloom]

I enjoy the MP28 it’s literally just a mini VCAR

[kindred flint]

needs a full auto mode

[pine roost]

I won’t lie I’ve only used the revolver, I don’t even know what the glock is like

[eager spire]

It has a burst mode that can one burst to the head in close quarters if that’s any indication.

[drowsy shuttle]

Yeah its pretty good.. even with silencer

Or suppressor

[eager spire]

Like I said. It’s basically the best pistol in the game.

[drowsy shuttle]

I like the mp28 a lot too

Just got that shit to tier 1 earlier

[nova mirage]

How do headshots work in 2042? I shot someone 3 or 4 times in the head with the G57 before they died.

[eager spire]

The same as they do in previous games.

[fiery shoal]

depends on the weapons and range basically

[eager spire]

G57 got buffed to have a 2x headshot multiplier.

[sage nimbus]

Hey guys

[nova mirage]

Do vehicles reduce headshot damage? https://www.xbox.com/play/media/L5AES3X579

I had to shoot these two a bunch before they went down!

[fiery shoal]

i mean, that clip only has 2 hit markers?

[eager spire]

I do believe windows do reduce damage yes

But I think that only applies to helis

[hallow sierra]

so dats why i dying so fast

[fiery shoal]

g57 does 22 dmg, with 2x multiplier and 2 shots thats 88 dmg

[idle lion]

Does anyone else here have expirience with an rx6600 on bf2042

[fiery shoal]

no

[eager spire]

Yes.

[nova mirage]

Thank you! Does armor function like normal health?

[eager spire]

Yes, as far as i can tell.

[sage nimbus]

Anyone playing conquest atm

[nova mirage]

Me

[sage nimbus]

Oops sorry

[fiery shoal]

no reason to apologize

if youre cracked at consistently landing headshots then you will beat an smg doing body shots by like... .25 seconds

[drowsy shuttle]

You wanna know what is better than pistola and smgs at close range?

GHOSTMAKER

1 shot kill

[fiery shoal]

its like people dont realize theres a lot to consider when talking about weapon balance

[drowsy shuttle]

I dont lose fights whitin 20-30m with ghostmaker

[eager spire]

The ghost maker is a gimmick weapon though.

[hallow sierra]

hopes theres a playlist for manifest and spearhead

bt

[eager spire]

If it was any worse then there would be no reason to have it in the game.

[fiery shoal]

in a casual sandbox shooter theres no reason to not have any weapons in the game... even if its super bad or a gimmick.. like it doesnt matter

[hallow sierra]

wait so why exactly did they buff the g57

[lilac dust]

99% sure it will show up tomorrow at the weekly reset

[gusty spoke]

Will bf2042 get a battle royal, personally I think it’ll do better than warzon 2 bcus of the movement mechanics in bf isss way better then warzone 2 and similar to warzon 2019 :))

[eager spire]

Good question

I don’t know. But it’s a good question.

[hallow sierra]

i keep forgetting dat hazard zone is still a thing

[fiery shoal]

did they buff it?

[gusty spoke]

Yea xd

It’s dead af

[ebon pilot]

i played a few rounds over the weekend, i still think it's kinda fun

[eager spire]

To be fair even DICE forgot so you’re not alone

[fiery shoal]

unlikely, firestorm failed so i dont see a reason for them to try itagain, if they did they better at least have the BR mode f2p

[gusty spoke]

personally

they should have a battlefield rebirth version

omg that will be so sexy

[ebon pilot]

what does that even mean

[gusty spoke]

rebirt warzon sorry

🙂

u probably haven’t played rebirth

[eager spire]

2042 with the rebirth island map from Warzone 1

[gusty spoke]

no

[eager spire]

Probably won’t happen

[gusty spoke]

Similar design

quick / fast games

[ebon pilot]

I never played Warzone

[gusty spoke]

fast movement etc

[ebon pilot]

I'm burned out on BR

[gusty spoke]

fair enough pizza cat

https://tenor.com/view/pizza-cat-fuzzy-hug-surprised-gif-4964438

[tardy tree]

battlefield should never do a battle royal

[fiery shoal]

the only buff im finding for g57 is an extended ammo increase in august..

[tardy tree]

except for 5 because im pretty sure firestorm was actually good

[fiery shoal]

firestorm was actually good, the looting was atrocious, that and it being behind a paywall kiled it

[dire quest]

Would anyone be interested in a exodus conquest server? Or conquest of Ages server? In portal of course?

[eager spire]

I remember people being interested in Firestorm for like 5 minutes after it came out.

[copper fulcrum]

bro one of the top servers is a 64 player BF3 vs 1942 server

[eager spire]

And then they dropped it.

[wide shore]

I’m always interested in Conquest of Ages.

[magic bloom]

Conquest of ages is always a good time

[ebon pilot]

time to revive it with a persistent server

[dire quest]

I can host a conquest of Ages server if y'all are interested. Would you guys like bots or no?

[copper fulcrum]

It's already full

[ebon pilot]

guess we need more then

[magic bloom]

Man I can’t wait for Crawford to change spots with Irish

[hallow sierra]

well guess they didnt buff the g57 this time its just i keep dying to those dat use burst g57

[magic bloom]

No it hasn’t been buffed

[eager spire]

Yes it has.

It was an unlisted change.

[magic bloom]

When did it get buffed?

Oh that’s why I didn’t know then

[eager spire]

In the update with the railgun. It got its headshot multiplier increased.

[magic bloom]

Oh damn

[hallow sierra]

well dat figures

[magic bloom]

I still Love my MP28

[hallow sierra]

now we wait for a month just so they would nerf it hopefully

[eager spire]

Alex apparently said he was considering buffing it again actually

Because apparently being able to oneburst to the head in close quarters is not good enough.

[hallow sierra]

did he say why

[eager spire]

No.

I asked. He did not answer.

You better believe I’ll ask him again when I see em.

[fiery shoal]

doing gods work

[hallow sierra]

i should try hardcore

just to get sws t1

[eager spire]

Is the sws really that hard to use

[hallow sierra]

not really if u know how to use it

[eager spire]

Ah. So you don’t.

[hallow sierra]

yes

[eager spire]

Fair enough.

I’m gonna go pass out, see ya.

[hallow sierra]

ok

[dire quest]

Would anyone like a conquest of Ages server? Bots to fill it up of course

[hexed mango]

[tough folio]

lmao 2042 people who use xm or g84 are petty lol

[magic bloom]

Eh I don’t see it as petty

I see it more like if i really wanted I could use it too that goes for any game really

[hexed mango]

xm what? xm3 or xm8?

[magic bloom]

Probably the XM8

That thing is a beast

[tough folio]

my fault, meant the fxm. but yeah the xm8 looks pretty good

[hexed mango]

fxm missile?

and is G84 the TGM or something else

[tough folio]

si, helicopters stop being alot of fun when half the map stops focusing objective to lock on to me lmao

[dire quest]

Helicopters are op

[tough folio]

when you get to use them that is lol

[dire quest]

Heck, choppers are op against infantry more so than jets are

[tough folio]

i did notice that, jets are way anti vehicle now

barely any room to fly them anyways

on some maps

[dire quest]

Jets go too fast to attack infantry

Helis can hover over wherever they want to shoot

[scenic frost]

Hello people, does this server have some kind of channel where i can ask for technical support?

[hexed mango]

!!support

[tough folio]

community support maybe, ask the mods. idk

[hexed mango]

fuck

im not booster anymore

[scenic frost]

!support

Oh, well

its because i now have this shit i thought i had fixed a week ago

The AMD detected drivers are 20.10 instead of 21.20, which is a lie

[dire quest]

Ea help it seems

[scenic frost]

Its driving me crazy, tbt

[magic bloom]

I mean they can’t stay in one place very long or else that’s a death sentence

Unless your a stealth helicopter then fuck every counter besides lis and wildcat 30mm

[scenic frost]

i loathe those things. Luckily, they usually skip my camping ass

[dire quest]

But it's possible to stay in one place as a chopper where as it isn't with a jet which makes choppers more op

[scenic frost]

way easier to farm infantry that way lol

[dire quest]

Yee

[scenic frost]

For the record i loathe good vehicle players

i respect your skill but i fucking hate you

[magic bloom]

I mean good jet players counter helicopters most of the time

That’s how it was balanced in previous games every vehicle counters the others

Except stealth jets fuck stealth jets

[dire quest]

Which proves the point that jets are now anti-vehicle and helicopters are for farming infantry

[scenic frost]

i think that's a fair way to balance it, tbf

infantry has already quite a bit to deal with

[tough folio]

this game is annoying

i swear to god people who use rorchse

[scenic frost]

I have fun in 64 ppl server

[magic bloom]

The railgun is funny

People get so mad

[tough folio]

sitting there across the map to shoot at my tank

[scenic frost]

128 is way too much for an empty map and it makes the game run like shit

[tough folio]

or heli

[magic bloom]

Does about the same damage as a sniper with AP rounds

[dire quest]

128 players in the 64 player sized maps tho... chaos

[scenic frost]

its made for stopping tank regen

that's it

[scenic frost]

Yeah, my RX cries when i stumble upon one of those servers

[tough folio]

it stops your repair system, literally nothing but pettyness from these players

[stiff pollen]

Why I use APS system now

[scenic frost]

idk man, the rorsch is a weird ass weapon

i usually play in those Hardcore servers

and the second it takes to fire usually gets you killed

[magic bloom]

The railgun is just odd

[tough folio]

also love how a ram uses the anti projectile to drop off one person to c5 quicker than my tank shoots to kill me, after i use one he shell on infantry

[magic bloom]

It does do nearly as much damage to vehicles as the rorsch MK-1 from the last stand dlc

[stiff pollen]

hardcore player
Opinion ignored

1000% damage one shot one kill no Shotgun no C4 no fun server enjoyer

[hexed mango]

[magic bloom]

It’s APS system only destroys rockets, missiles and maybe grenades (idk about grenades never had to worry about them)

[stiff pollen]

It destroys nades

It used to destroy C4

[magic bloom]

Bullshit it destroys C4

No fuckin way

[dire quest]

C5*

[stiff pollen]

It does it like half the time

[kindred flint]

i enjoy that feature

[stiff pollen]

If it’s thrown at close range it’ll pass by

[magic bloom]

I do indeed enjoy my APS systems

[stiff pollen]

If it’s done past the “bubble” it’ll destroy them

[tough folio]

it cancelled out my he shell

[dire quest]

Remember guys twenty years into the future we'll be adding another c to make it c5

[magic bloom]

It’s not supposed to do that

So either the game glitched or you missed

[magic bloom]

Exactly

[tough folio]

i kept getting red hit marker before i noticed that my shots were no damage and that this dude was keeping up aps for 8 minutes with very little cooldown

if i missed, it just wouldnt reg

[kindred flint]

APS needs to either have a max # of stuff destroyed before it pops like the spawn becon...or can only do so many in a short period of time

[scenic frost]

i guess if you throw C5 from afar it has enough time to destroy it?

[magic bloom]

They could also add soft kill APS systems to the game as a balance feature on vehicles rather than hard kill

[scenic frost]

wdym?

[dire quest]

Would anyone be interested in a domination server? Small maps, 3 flags? Except 128 players instead of 8v8 like the liquidator?

[magic bloom]

Hard kill APS systems shoot something to intercept the projectile and destroy it before it hits the vehicle

[scenic frost]

nop

[scenic frost]

ah, like a thropy system

yesyes

[magic bloom]

Soft kill tries to either redirect it by disrupting its signal

[tough folio]

im pretty sure the tor can work against aps, but i assure you the he shells were hitting the vehicle with red hitmarker

[scenic frost]

so, instead of destroying the projectile, have it fall to the ground at a certain distance, for example?
or make it go haywire

[magic bloom]

Yeah

Kinda like how thermal smoke works to soflamed missiles

But soft kill only works on guided projectiles where as hard kill works on any projectile

[scenic frost]

Since they are going to not allow all classes to carry the M5

i think soft kill would be a decent trade-off

[magic bloom]

I mean considering you could still play Irish and use his APS

[scenic frost]

but you would have to purposefully play him

I really dont like operators as a concept in these kinds of FPSs, but in this case balancing something around if you're playing a certain character or not...

[magic bloom]

I mean a bunch of people use him on the new map on breath through to completely counter play the rockets

[scenic frost]

I would kneecap the operator ability and buff the vehicle so its not mandatory, idk if you know what i mean

[magic bloom]

Idk I feel like most specialist are balanced aside from Mackays passive

[scenic frost]

I play sundance, idc about Mackay lol, im here to flyyyy

not to grapple to a roof and sit my ass down for 20 minutes

(I do agree that getting killed by Mackay 10/15 times gets old fast, tho)

[kindred flint]

dont be mad...im just better than you

[warped current]

Who 😂

[scenic frost]

the guy that moves twice as fast as you while aiming and packing armor xD

[crude blade]

So how long is the ps5 bf2042 free for

[proper zinc]

16.12.-23.12.

[crude blade]

Thx

[hexed mango]

boris: dies

[kindred flint]

last seconds of the match..spawned in transport...instantly killed by AA missile, fucking genius pilot

[warped current]

Need a pro

[robust vapor]

is it me or is there some hitreg issues ever since the update?

[kindred flint]

no game is perfect, keep playing comrade

[royal swan]

Don't understand why people say season maps are dlc maps. You can't download them and there isn't a dlc addition for it on steam or any device

[warped current]

I think attack helis need to come back to BT.

[quiet shell]

Hey DICE, when we say bring back 128p breakthrough we mean bring back the player count. NOT THE FUCKING 128P LAYOUT FOR 64

[left badge]

bf2042 kinda unrealistic the us army is never getting rid of the M1919 no matter how hard they try

[sour cedar]

So they have the big maps with small teams

[quiet shell]

Correct. On orbital breakthrough its 64 players on the 128 player layout but theres no enough players to defend all the directions the enemy can approach from and theres not enough attackers to smoke out the open spaces they're expected to charge across

[topaz field]

Post a video on Reddit : Sundance blowing up campers on top of tower with c5, it get some negative nancy in the comments. Post a video of Rao dropping in by parachute killing campers on tower with pistol, yayy now thats a battefield moment. Reddit users are just special 🙂

[sour cedar]

Well yeah you'd think it would be 128 players for 128 sized map

[fiery solar]

1:30 queue tile

Time

2/128 in lobby

They should just start off with AI at this point

[rustic edge]

is there such thing as bf2042 milsims?

[fiery solar]

Of course there are

It’s bf3 on desert maps

[timid mauve]

ayy

[rustic edge]

ahh ok

[undone valve]

BaconPersuasion is in the house

Come get this money.

[magic bloom]

I forgot he existed

Although I am gonna T1 here soon

[hexed mango]

thats how sad he is

[kindred flint]

can we change out the turret for a shoulder mounted gun, like a predator?

[slender isle]

Just make the turret have the similar but less health to the ranger

it takes like 2 bullets to murder atm

[hexed mango]

sounds a lot like crawford

[fiery solar]

Can we get thermal scopes on rifles that can shoot through walls and a 1 shot machine gun with tracking bullets that will literally ricochet off surfaces in order to hit the closest target even if they’re 400 miles away

[kindred flint]

that sounds like the average "i want thermals in game" complainer tbh

[arctic grove]

D.I.C.E. L.O.G.I.C.

[arctic grove]

LITERALLY ME

[robust vapor]

just seeing reddit users complaining about it idk man never felt it

[hexed mango]

yes

[robust vapor]

[limpid pond]

Losers

@hexed mango how do you have two pfps?

[austere cradle]

Lets talk about medic, I find myself going back to falck constantly. The self -healing gun is simply too much. I can switch to epipen but I'm missing out on an extra gadget.

Between falck and tank hunter I don't really use any other operator.

[potent trench]

I wonder if DICE will ever do night map again

Night Operation was awesome

[arctic grove]

Sundances mobility pisses people off in general

I must admit… sometimes I myself get annoyed with them for the angles they can get

[slender isle]

Technically manifest is a night map

[hexed mango]

nitro

[kindred flint]

ayyy t1 ak

[hexed mango]

server one, user one

[arctic grove]

https://streamable.com/yjz2l2 Riptor video

[potent trench]

you are absolutely correct
but I was talking about ACTUAL night map

damn manifest didnt crossed my thought LOL
it's too bright for a night map i somtimes forgot it was set at night

[cyan sundial]

Just bring back Nivelle Nights

Best night map in FPS history

[cyan sundial]

They also brightened Manifest a TON in the recent update

[slender isle]

Gimme zavod night shift

[potent trench]

this is what I want

[potent trench]

oh really? I didn't notice that
I thought it was already bright previously

[arctic grove]

Neville Nights was cool although visibility was a little tiny bit of an issue

Nothing that wasn’t mediated in settings though

[hexed mango]

i mean tbf, what the fuck is the point of a flashlight when all maps have pretty bright visibility

[cyan sundial]

That's what made it cool though

[potent trench]

this I agree
the "night" color and lighting feels right for me
too bad the map layout is not doing it for me

[cyan sundial]

An ACTUAL night map

[slender isle]

Was Neville the one with the mass amount of trenches or was it the city one?

[arctic grove]

For the funny

Very big funny

[cyan sundial]

Trenches. Prise de Tahure was the city one

[arctic grove]

Actually I can’t remember if it’s the trench one or city one

Ah

And yeah it being fully nighttime was pretty cool

[potent trench]

if only BF1 is not ladened with cheaters on Asia/SEA servers

[hexed mango]

NA-W 🦾

[cyan sundial]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckcScTAbGY4&ab_channel=TheLankySoldier

[arctic grove]

Antarctica >

[hexed mango]

u right

[arctic grove]

Genuinely what the hell are some BFs doing with Antarctica servers

Like I think only scientists ‘live’ there

[hexed mango]

i live there

[potent trench]

satelite play?

i remember you can only connect via satelite over there

[hexed mango]

i live on breakaway

[potent trench]

must be a bunch of bored scientist

also I wish more Asian/SEA players play a more varied map on BF4
I still have all BF installed from BC2 on my PC, all I see on BF4 are Lockers 24/7 Max Tix

[slender isle]

I liked Neville. Just ran the G98 infantry

[arctic grove]

Shanghai, locker and golmud apparently

[potent trench]

yes, pretty much
I want more DLC map, especially Operation Breakout

outbreak*

[arctic grove]

I don’t really remember that map all too well I got to redownload and ply 4 some day

[upbeat sand]

ok then my middle scroll key started working again for no reason

[arctic grove]

Dice thinks scientists play 2042

Imagine Neville Nights 128

[upbeat sand]

they can study the breakaway penguins

and hourglass snakes

and bird

[arctic grove]

and the ugly ass polygon seagulls

I think manifest has a rat they can study as well

[arctic grove]

Nobody insults the polygon seagulls

[robust vapor]

Amiens 2042 128 players

[arctic grove]

[robust vapor]

Argonne 2042

[upbeat sand]

and plastic bags

[arctic grove]

128players

[slender isle]

I swear those plastics bags look like a jet every single time

[kindred flint]

yo fuck the bags on manifest

[robust vapor]

nah 250 players

[upbeat sand]

i still havent gotten wether on manifest

[robust vapor]

those floating pink condoms on manifest and other maps

[slender isle]

I got it first game on but that’s it

[upbeat sand]

i wish i could see this updated tornado

cause i saw a video

something like the tornado can rip trees out now

[arctic grove]

Oh?

[sharp marten]

Yesterday I was in a ram and got shot to death by a whole squad of avancys with APR

[robust vapor]

l000l

[arctic grove]

bros

[sharp marten]

I have to re evaluate my decisions that game

[robust vapor]

teamwork bros

[upbeat sand]

screw advancys they should of done it with pkp

[arctic grove]

I just noticed they changed the capture point in Kalidescope

in 128 layout

[upbeat sand]

yeah dice in the patches said C and G will be removed

no side park areas now

[arctic grove]

Why just why? it was fine the way before

[upbeat sand]

(as objectives)

[upbeat sand]

probably to help map flow

[arctic grove]

It literally leaves a huge empty space on the map

[upbeat sand]

holy shit boris just said "IM THE EXPERT SO SHUT UP AND PAY ATTENTION"

sigma

[arctic grove]

Literally waste of space

[upbeat sand]

ok weebjobie is on my team

he's telling people to PTFO

[arctic grove]

LMAO its always the weeb or furry that says PTFO

[upbeat sand]

nono he's a known cheater

ruins games and lots of streamers have complained

[arctic grove]

BRUH REPORT HIS ASS

Also send me a game invite

im online

[slender isle]

I’ve been reporting him for a good 4 months

[upbeat sand]

yeah all of us have been reporting him

[slender isle]

Next we’ve gotta get nerf_rajesh banned

[arctic grove]

Damn. How is Dice and EA this incompetent?

[slender isle]

No clue

[upbeat sand]

easy anticheat

thats why

[arctic grove]

fair

[upbeat sand]

also i want self heal on falk nerfed

[pearl ridge]

I picked up the M16, but it feels really weak

[slender isle]

I feel OCE just gets new cheaters who are old accounts

[arctic grove]

I think granny falk deserves the self heal

[slender isle]

Like I came up against a guy who was level 33 but dropped 67 kills

Like

Wtf

[pearl ridge]

Depends on what he was doing.

[upbeat sand]

just make it slower than a team heal

[arctic grove]

Agreed

[slender isle]

Infantry

[pearl ridge]

Yeah that feels sus

[slender isle]

Falk with an lcmg

So super sus

[pearl ridge]

The lcmg is good, but it's not that good.

[slender isle]

God I hate this region though

OCE is the most try hard region to ever exist

[pearl ridge]

It's the population. Eventually, the amount of servers drops off to the point that the clanshitters dominate every single one, so there's no avoiding them.

[upbeat sand]

this region's sweatyness made me stop a bunch of games just because everyone is too competitive

even in TF2 casual WTF

aaand weebjobie is complaining about being kileld

[calm bison]

When the goober is goofing

Y’all I can’t with this fucking new font

[hexed mango]

yeah i heard about this... unfortunate

[next onyx]

That fucking rat lol.

[hexed mango]

lol

[balmy cipher]

This game feel like it take less and less skill day by day...

Not to mention we have way more options in settings to help aim assist than normal

[next onyx]

Eh?

[hexed mango]

maybe you lack skill

jkjkjkjkjk

[next onyx]

There's normal aim assist and then there's snap aim. Those were things in bf5 and bf1.

[upbeat sand]

Sim assist isn't OP

People just complain about loosing to someone who has a comfortable grip with buttons

It's fine

[next onyx]

Xoihes and jaimzi are crazy on controller.

Avanc too.

Cactus as well.

[upbeat sand]

Yeah aim assist needs to be there

I tried controller on apex and i say

[hexed mango]

who?

[upbeat sand]

No

Not OP

[arctic grove]

ey aim assist isn’t even that good in this game

[next onyx]

Controller players need the assist.

[arctic grove]

Indeed cause it’s PC guys who break my fookin ankles

[hexed mango]

jesus

apex devs be smoking more than way

[crimson basin]

In a fast paced game like Battlefield aim assist is mandatory, R6 can get away without it cause it's so slow

[slender isle]

The only time I’ll complain about console aim assists is when I’m in the air and get instantly murdered via lock on

[hexed mango]

lel

[runic thicket]

love u, feel u, pain in the ass

[upbeat sand]

Hopefully zampella dosent cause the apex effect on battlefield

Which is

No content
All skins
More skins
Skins
Skins
More events

[arctic grove]

We shall c

[crimson basin]

There is already apex effect on 2042

[upbeat sand]

We we got content and a ton of reworks what does apex have

1 map in , 1 legend and some balances

[hexed mango]

nah hopefully not, he’s smart enough to know what the different games need

[hexed mango]

i mean that’s kinda how it is already

[prime raptor]

I’m just gonna pop in and start a discussion if anyone wants to hop in and see if we can get the devs to listen

They should allow tier 1 progressions in solo/Co op modes? Yes or no why?

It’s been a long discussion for a while over people having disabilities enjoying this game but not being able to reach t1 progression, for other people in the community we enjoy playing solo/co op mode because it gives us breathing space on all the spawn camping/campers in the game, it creates more fun for us if we got the challenge to reach t1 even if you make it hard for solo/co op players to get the medals but after all you have already taken the vehicles out of breakthrough. (P.s please add an offline mode) that’s my spill lol

[arctic grove]

[arctic grove]

[royal trail]

the soloplay bots are so easy that i think they should remove tier progress entierly

they can just hand them out from scratch at this point

[stoic creek]

Game fell of fucking bad man I should have gotten the cross bow nope people pre fire even tho they never see me I'm fucking in a bush not shooting at all AND A FUCMING PERSON WITH GOD NODE FUCKING KILLS ME

[hexed mango]

T1 progression is restricted to only T3 max in solo

T3 is equal to Mastery level 12, where T1 is Mastery level 40

aka you can obtain maximum of 30% of the T1 requirement in solo/coop/bots

[royal trail]

i have like mastery 200 with falck

[hexed mango]

i am at mastery 350 with Irish

i credit 90% of that to Exposure and Stranded

[placid echo]

I don't play Paik much but I am like mastery 250 with her since damaging someone counts as progress towards it

[royal trail]

i just revive and shoot stims at everything

at any given map

[hexed mango]

did you know that during development falck's pistol was able to revive people

[royal trail]

ye i heard, would be gucci to have now

[placid echo]

The amount of new players that think it can is kinda funny

[hexed mango]

sam said they scrapped it cause having dead bodies reanimate for seemingly no reason was confusing to the gameplay cycle
i.e. not having a player there visually reviving someone made it confusing

[placid echo]

Not to mention the possibility of a 50m revive

[royal trail]

also angel started with shield earlier right, not anymore

[hexed mango]

yes exactly

[hexed mango]

irish has shields (armor)

[placid echo]

If it was like 10m it'd be okay

[hexed mango]

even then its still confusing but yeah there would need to be a range limit

[next onyx]

Mastery 820 with Mackay.

[placid echo]

Mackay is the easiest stat to pad lol

[royal trail]

how many hours played?

way

[next onyx]

570?

[royal trail]

cool, im only at like 200

[next onyx]

To be fair though not as easy as paik.

[hexed mango]

578

uh

what the heck

it seems i have a clone

looks like i scared them away

@ocean isle come back

[next onyx]

Wut.

[hexed mango]

someone was typing with the same name as myself

[royal trail]

people being able to spawn out of the blue at their squad mates is kinda rng for other players. i wonder if a gamemode where we only can spawn at the main base and then rely more on the transport helis to get players out would be cool

[hexed mango]

i mean... i dont think thats been an issue in the past games

it promotes quality squad play as well, seeing as you get xp for people spawning on you
but i see no issue with it

[royal trail]

ye i know, i would just want to see if a more back to basics mode like that would be popular

[hexed mango]

probably not

[slender isle]

When bots are set to expert difficulty, an item should be able to be put all the way to Mastery 40 aka T1. Then mastery 25 for intermediate bots. and Mastery 12 for the easy ones

[robust vapor]

them bots are more advanced than players

[ebon pilot]

how tf you so much further ahead in T1 for literally everything when you only have 130 more hours than me

[royal trail]

the soloplay bots at beginner wait for you to shoot them sometimes, just aiming at you lol

[robust vapor]

can't wait for a bot that will slide quickscope headshot you

[royal trail]

u forgot 360

[arctic grove]

can you even get them in rush

[robust vapor]

360 in the air

[arctic grove]

yes or nah?

[royal trail]

soloplay?

[arctic grove]

yes

[royal trail]

ye i think u can solo rush

[arctic grove]

isn't portal multiplayer only

[royal trail]

im not talking about portal

[tough flax]

if anything i wish in this game is the loading times to be faster and the textures, guns when you load in

[arctic grove]

?

I only saw bots availability for conquest and breakthrough

that's it

[royal trail]

just go into aow and pick soloplay

oh its breakthrough

my bad

[arctic grove]

I'm not joking

fuck sake

it's one year and they still don't bother to extend the bots

wasted

[hexed mango]

portal has bots

[arctic grove]

then directly tell me if it can be offline

[royal trail]

they added tdm to aow right? maybe u can soloplay that

[hexed mango]

no ssd

[arctic grove]

slash solo

[hexed mango]

none of it is offline

[pastel loom]

bots should be removed period
it ruins the gameplay vibe

[arctic grove]

then useless

[hexed mango]

there is no offline play in this game

[arctic grove]

you bastard

[tough flax]

haha i have it on my ssd

[arctic grove]

do you hate single player? I bet you do

[hexed mango]

as how tf would they track progress

or load progress

ig local cache but that only works to an extent

[placid echo]

As someone who uses the advanced bots to test for balance for different portal game types. I don't think having advanced bots giving full progress is the right way.

[hexed mango]

bots should not allow T1
period

[arctic grove]

anyway

[placid echo]

I agree

[arctic grove]

bf4 will soon have WR

[hexed mango]

who

[arctic grove]

free server hosting and bots

[pastel loom]

no
i want only real players

[toxic silo]

Is the new mid season even happening today?

[arctic grove]

then you can fuck off

[hexed mango]

[royal trail]

lol

[slender isle]

The hella advanced bots are impossible for the people who actually would try and abuse it

[toxic silo]

Fuck! I was really looking forward to the Mackay skin 🥺

[hexed mango]

no

[slender isle]

imo I just use T1 as a way to make all my stuff look cohesive

[hexed mango]

we arent that close to half way

[ebon pilot]

it's only week 4 out of 14

[hexed mango]

14 weeks in the season,we're on what like week 4

[hexed mango]

18? thought it was 14

nvm

[toxic silo]

My dumbass thought it was mid December 😑

[hexed mango]

Mid s3

[ebon pilot]

i forgo

[hexed mango]

[placid echo]

Harder to abuse, but still abusable. Advanced Bots are easier to go against an actual server of players though (most of the time)

[royal trail]

less than 2 weeks till christmas , im hoping for a new penguine christmas background soon

[slender isle]

Not on breakthrough lmao. Like standard bots sure, intermediate bots, sure. Advanced bots rail me with pkp nut sacks

[hexed mango]

i want the elf gamemode

[placid echo]

Chrimmus

[hexed mango]

Chrystler

[ebon pilot]

I really want a zombies mode

[hexed mango]

like infection?

cause if so im pretty sure there was one floating around a while back

[ebon pilot]

Nah just a wave based one with a 4 player squad

[placid echo]

Infection was interesting back then

[ebon pilot]

PvE

[hexed mango]

ah

sorta like SWBF2 coop

that would be quite epic

[ebon pilot]

I'd write one myself but as a programmer that writes actual programs with text visual programming fucking sucks

[hexed mango]

i feel you

[white geyser]

I have a zombie mode, but it's ground war superiority zombie matchup 128 player

[hexed mango]

i hate block code cause im too used to normal code

[pastel loom]

why so rude?

[atomic pecan]

i swear to god ive played manifest 4000 times in a row

[hexed mango]

im trying to learn UE rn tho after using only unity for years

[hexed mango]

in the featured playlist? which only has manifest and spearhead

[atomic pecan]

in basic conquest

[hexed mango]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[magic bloom]

[atomic pecan]

me neither

[hexed mango]

maybe a lot of people want to play manifest rn

[ebon pilot]

why can't DICE give us a method to write JS/TS that just evaluates to block code in the browser

[hexed mango]

wish we had a browser to fix that

[hexed mango]

well Portal Unleashed existed, and I helped maintain it for a bit but its really annoying to translate

but it could be a security thing

in any case, i 100% agree

[white geyser]

I may do zombie conquest on manifest, but I want to see the rework I haven't check it since I got busy with ground war superiority

[ebon pilot]

What was Portal Unleashed?

[hexed mango]

browser extension that translated js -> blocks

[ebon pilot]

amazing

[hexed mango]

https://github.com/Ludonope/BFPortalUnleashed

[placid echo]

and then you got me

[hexed mango]

the code is pretty bare bones tho, its not perfect imo

(unleashed)

[placid echo]

So far the most amount of code I've ever seen in one experience is Frontlines 2042

So many blocks that it lags a beefy computer if you try to scroll down or modify

I think it takes me a minute to load the whole thing

[ebon pilot]

Maybe I should spend a weekend reverse engineering the API since the web view is so slow

[placid echo]

When I say load, I mean load it in the editor

[hexed mango]

lol

[placid echo]

It only gets long when you have some pretty big modes

[hexed mango]

ima try to update the config for the unleashed library, hopefully i can get it running with the new blocks n shiz

it hasnt been updated since S1

[magic bloom]

[hexed mango]

oh boy errors galore

[magic bloom]

What in the hell are you guys talking about

[ebon pilot]

wait this actually parses the js...

[echo lynx]

I spam breakthrough and I swear its always the same freaking maps

[ebon pilot]

I was thinking something like tree-sitter where you write JS that uses some inherent functions for primitives (like blocks), a CLI evaluates it and uses that to generate the blocks

[hexed mango]

oh yeah nah its uh very very weird

[ebon pilot]

Lmao

[crimson basin]

It is affected by apex on a fundamental level, things like high mobility and heroes weren't in battlefield before.

[hexed mango]

the portal experiences website stores a json object of the blocks used in the editor, which this thing basically takes and generates basic types for which then form a parser for js

the guy who made it, who i talked to a lot just interested in it, said that it was kinda made just to try something but really wasnt perfect in any means

[white geyser]

The devs said they want another chance, but I'm still waiting for them to rework co-op to make it online matchmaking but it needs good content too so the players will enjoy it

[hexed mango]

again, SWBF2 type shit would be epic for coop

[ebon pilot]

oh well then it should be easy

[hexed mango]

if you want i can dm you a snippet to be able to fetch the json from the webdb

[ebon pilot]

sure

[hexed mango]

iirc, the website itself has a library built onto it to make the blocks, so it shouldnt be that difficult to connect the two ends

[white geyser]

Back in SW BF2 when they added co-op it was pretty fun

[ebon pilot]

but what if I want to skip the website, just make it a CLI

[hexed mango]

could probably do that as well lol

i kinda envisioned making a js script that would parse js from the config data -> script that built the DOM for the blocks

[next onyx]

I mean I only keep to one thing lol.

[fiery solar]

Why is everything destructible outside the play zone in breakthrough but not conquest

The big exploding things in orbital can’t be blown up anymore in 128 layout cause it’s 20 feet far from the play zone

[next onyx]

I have 27K kills with the SCAR and 10K with the m5a3 because I only keep to those guns.

[arctic grove]

why are there so many tornados lmao, im in work rn playing from my phone to the xbox

spawned in the US HQ into a tornado

[fiery solar]

We don’t have enough tornadoes

[ebon pilot]

on stranded?

that's just stranded

[fiery solar]

We need smaller open maps with tornadoes like stranded

[white geyser]

The last time I ran into a tornado when I was doing solo in breakthrough on hourglass map

[fiery solar]

I rarely get a tornado in hourglass

My favorite is the giant lighting storm in manifest idk if they toned it down a little bit cause I only see 3 bolts now

[potent trench]

but open map, please
I didn't like Stranded cause it was too open

er too closed, sorry

[fiery solar]

2 big tornadoes 0 uses for it

Thought the map would be a bigger area before it was revealed

[white geyser]

I only have 2 ground war superiority zombie matchup in the portal, such as BF 2042 and BF3. I may create a 3rd ground war superiority zombie matchup and I'll use bad company 2 if I change my mind to do that, but right now I haven't made a decision... yet.

[fiery solar]

Or have more room but more objectives near the ship

1942 ground war

I never played 1942 but there’s no way these were the top 2 maps of that game they HAD to remaster

[white geyser]

I just hope they add BF4 in the portal, I just want to create ground war zombie matchup for BF4

[next onyx]

When the specialist rework comes in I think I'll be an Irish xm8 main.

[magic bloom]

I’m gonna be a crawford main when he and Irish swap spots

[next onyx]

I'll keep to Zain with the scar.

But if I want an MG. Irish will be my go to.

[placid echo]

Zain's pretty fun

[magic bloom]

I like playing Zain I just find his air burst launcher to be situational

[placid echo]

The best part of Zain is the bodies that go flying 10 feet in the air

[magic bloom]

True

[upbeat sand]

Your lucky

I haven't gotten 1 tornado on any map I find since 3.1

[magic bloom]

I Love the Tornados lol

They’re so fun

[upbeat sand]

I'm just doing the come on do something meme but with manifest

[wide shore]

It’s like bowling sometimes

Shoot around cover and just see how many bodies go flying.

[upbeat sand]

Sometimes I accidentally shoot a last explosive by accident then get 1-2 more

[next onyx]

I love Zain's passive.

[next onyx]

His passive in my opinion is the deal breaker for me.

With his gadget.

Free heals after a kill is massive.

[upbeat sand]

his passive be like

FORTNITE COLOUR SATUATION ACTIVATE

[slender isle]

With 3.2 would that not be like a not very good passive?

[next onyx]

It's a med pen always.

I'm assuming you can only carry one med pen.

[placid echo]

You can turn that off thankfully

[timid mauve]

pp

[upbeat sand]

ima crank it to 100

[upbeat sand]

having a singular would balance it out

ill be like a type of Speed bandage

like in bfv but it gives a sudden boost of HP instead of going up

[fiery solar]

I think it’s like 2

[upbeat sand]

1 would be better

[fiery solar]

This game is getting better with each update. It only took 20+ gigabytes to get this game going

[upbeat sand]

im just glad angels wont be able to camp AA anymore

[next onyx]

I'm just glad there'll be some consistency.

Oh by the way.

[upbeat sand]

way

[next onyx]

You can see what weapon operators use in their customisation screen.

From Example. Lis uses a VCAR, Boris uses a PKP and Falck uses an M5a3.

Paik even uses a PBX.

[magic bloom]

Casper uses the DXR

Very epic of him

[next onyx]

It's a bit difficult to see the other weapons.

Due to their positions.

I think Rao uses a Dm7 for example.

[upbeat sand]

oh man its almost he was made for long range combat and isnt ment to be used at cqc

[next onyx]

It would be cool that instead of a longer breath time, Recon got extra accuracy with snipers.

[fiery solar]

Really looking forward to a new monitor soon because I can’t stand having to make the brightness 32 every time it’s day time and up it when it’s dark all just to not have the game look gray

[magic bloom]

Idk I use him as a ammo dispensary with his drone

[ebon pilot]

which is funny because his gadget and trait work at medium range and close range

it's like a major gameplay theme of 2042 is flexibility

[magic bloom]

I wish his detection suit could sort of point you in the direction of where they’re coming from

[ebon pilot]

The attachment menu, the specialists themselves, the open loadouts, everything just screams flexibility and if you're not using that flexibility to the best of your ability you're not doing the most you can for your team

[next onyx]

Yeah then his motion sensor would be a bit too powerful then.

It does help approximate where they are.

It seems to activate further away when they are sprinting versus walking.

[placid echo]

I wonder how people miss the motion sensor that Casper has though

A lot of times I sprint at a man from behind and do a takedown

[magic bloom]

Sometimes it just doesn’t work

That’s my only issue with it

[fiery solar]

The smoke clouds in this game look like they attempted to have it look like they interact with planes flying through them and it’s magnificent

[next onyx]

Soup.

Oh yeah the tornado actually has an effect on fires.

[magic bloom]

Really?

[fiery solar]

It takes everything

[placid echo]

Dude the amount of times I have a fight with someone and a tornado takes them is actually kinda funny

I throwing knifed a guy who was being taken by a tornado before :p

[magic bloom]

That’s just mean

[fiery solar]

Smoke, fire, and anything like sparks can be pulled by the tornado

Still can’t get over how the clouds of smoke move if you move through them. Not something you see in games a lot. I’ve only ever seen that in Teardown

[magic bloom]

I remember when you could grapple the smoke with mackay

[placid echo]

I like that friendlies actually have animations for being taken by tornadoes

[fiery solar]

Hell even rain bounces off your weapon when you move

Good graphics at launch bug fixes a year after

[magic bloom]

I like That friendlies can do trip animations

[next onyx]

Engineers passive on 1942 allows him to see mines while still inside a vehicle by the way.

[fiery solar]

Third person annotations in bfv are elite

[next onyx]

Bren.

[magic bloom]

I’m bored what gun should I use

[fiery solar]

Rail gun as attacker

[magic bloom]

Ok that’s not even that bad

[fiery solar]

Going into objectives with the whole other team camping in and killing them all in a single clip

I counted you can kill 4 soldiers with 1 clip with the rail gun full auto and that’s not even all headshots

[robust vapor]

Bren

How good is the stg44

[next onyx]

They're all three hit kills.

Assault weapons TTK wise.

[robust vapor]

dang

[pastel basin]

Hi 🙋

[slender isle]

MCS with slugs

[magic bloom]

Hi

[magic bloom]

Do you hate me that much

[slender isle]

Yes 😚

It aint that bad... right?

I could say use the DM7 with high power rounds, suppressor and an 8x

The worst thing to ever exist that is^

[ebon pilot]

god the portal editor is even worse than i remember

[timid hearth]

how long would it be until season 5 comes?

[slender isle]

I think it's around July

[wide shore]

At least 5-6 months

[ebon pilot]

or 24 weeks

[timid hearth]

thanks

I'm excited if they make the bf4 map with it

[wide shore]

Yay bf4 stuff

[slender isle]

Hopefully the redesign makes the map good lmao

[wide shore]

I mean, if it’s Zavod it’ll be fine

[slender isle]

Oh yeah, Zavod is fine. I wouldn't mind it being Rogue Transmission either

[wide shore]

I would. That map sucks

[magic bloom]

I love you too

[slender isle]

I love rogue transmission. What's wrong with it? It's like the best recon map

[wide shore]

But I don’t think we’ll be seeing a Chinese map

[wide shore]

You just explained why it’s bad

[magic bloom]

Again I say we should get a final stand map

[slender isle]

My bad, Different playstyles lmao

[wide shore]

It’s mostly people camping on the hill. And there’s very little cover under and on top of the dish.

I never liked how that map played at all

[slender isle]

That's why I said I hope they fix the problems ahha

[wide shore]

I suppose

I always felt like the hill on that map looked like something I could make in 30 seconds with the far cry map editor

[magic bloom]

Zavod was like my least played map sadly

[slender isle]

Most likely it'll be built up rather than under contstruction... however the main dish is completely broken and everything will look forgotten

[timid hearth]

I'd like the map to be dawnbreaker or siege of Shanghai or even pearl market and flood zone

[wide shore]

As I said. I don’t see them doing a Chinese map in this day and age.

[slender isle]

China? In a video game? You must be dreaming

[wide shore]

If this remade map is ignoring DLC. Zavod makes the most sense.

[slender isle]

Also, can we please nerf the damage to vehicles from the nightbird miniguns

[foggy halo]

I'd like to kick Enders in the nuts full force with my high heels

I'd pay money for him so he'll allow me to do that

[magic bloom]

Like ground vehicle damage?

[slender isle]

Just vehicles

You can 1v1 any air vehicle and not have to worry about a thing

[magic bloom]

You can say the same for any other air vehicle

[slender isle]

Ground vehicles I don't care for. But to 1v1 a jet in a heli it's stupid

[magic bloom]

(Not Jets)

[slender isle]

and 1v1 a transport

or an attack heli

like

[magic bloom]

You can 1v1 a stupid transport vehicle

If they’re even a little less than brain dead that’s an instant death

[slender isle]

You just fly right behind and a lil above and they're instantly dead

[magic bloom]

Attack heli needs a buff the poor thing gets absolute shit on by almost everything specifically the Apache

[magic bloom]

Bro what lobbies are you playing in I need an invite

[slender isle]

Attack heli just does no damage to anything

[slender isle]

Do you not do that? as soon as you are above the transport they have nothing

[magic bloom]

Oh no I do

[slender isle]

Like the nightbird being above means instant loss on whoever is in the other vehicle

[timid hearth]

yeah sure but it'd be cool

[slender isle]

I'd honestly say half the damage to air vehicles that those miniguns do, make it so the attack helis is more inline with what the nightbird is currently doing

[next onyx]

The attack heli annihilates ground vehicles.

[magic bloom]

I like literally need to be in your lobbies the ones I fight are ultra mega sweat lords who I suspect fly with a HOTAS stick somehow

[next onyx]

127MM do so much damage.

To anything.

The miniguns are only good against light vehicles.

[slender isle]

I usually can't get into the nightbird due to Ashe...

[magic bloom]

I have to spam my button for like 30 seconds before the damn thing even spawns cause some newbie gets in it and crashes it every time

[slender isle]

Like I can handle Silk being in the Heli because he's nice, but Ashe seriously has never seen sunlight and acts like he's the bully in a disney film

Or remove the missile indicator for AA or Liz

[magic bloom]

Or the Gemini guy he’s kinda a dick sometimes

[magic bloom]

The missile indicator for the helicopters?

[slender isle]

Yeah

[magic bloom]

Then they just become a farm bot

Lis I could kinda understand since here is TV guided

[slender isle]

you kinda just sit in there and know exactly where missiles are coming from no matter what. How close they are and everything

[magic bloom]

Ohhh do you mean like where the missiles is coming from?

[slender isle]

Yeah lmao

[magic bloom]

Ohhhhh see I was over here thing you meant just take it away entirely and tell the pilots to Git Gud

[slender isle]

No no. I mean just remove that stupid Icon that shows up on top of missiles

use your ears and eyes. Liz is literally bright orange missile in the sky

[magic bloom]

I honestly need someone to teach me to fly jets on console

That’s what I wanna learn next after being a little bird pilot for so long

[slender isle]

Jets are kinda doo doo in 2042. They turn like insanely slow

[magic bloom]

Yeah but the F-35 has funny helicopter mode

And it’s funny to hit an air brake on a SU57 and give him 25 mike mikes of freedom

[slender isle]

The SU57 is just so much better than the F-35 though

[magic bloom]

Yes

But the F-35 is American

[slender isle]

'MERIKA

[magic bloom]

I do honestly feel like an F-22 would’ve been a better choice

[ebon pilot]

I hope I can actually see this Portal project to completion because I'm already having a much better time just writing stuff instead of using the visual interface.

[magic bloom]

Please put it into battlefield pilot terms I can’t read this

As I am monkey brain which I why I fly

[arctic grove]

I question how this would work since the only freelook on air vehicles is in first person mode

[ebon pilot]

A message to all product designers everywhere: PLEASE STOP USING VISUAL PROGRAMMING

[magic bloom]

WHAT IS VISUAL PROGRAMMING?

[slender isle]

You have 3rd person which allows you to look behind yourself

Also, it just removes that big icon ontop of the missile

[ebon pilot]

stuff like this

[magic bloom]

Thank you

[arctic grove]

Yes but that’s why I specified freelook, I simply think that would cause more balancing issues than it’s worth

Lis could be revised but for a player guided tv missile removing the indication that it’s coming after you doesn’t sound like it will work too well in execution

[magic bloom]

I mean 99% of the time I hear the missile and just start evading

[slender isle]

You can literally see and hear the missile without the icon... The icon just shows you where it is through walls which I find stupid

[arctic grove]

I think it’s still best to keep the indicator, especially when it comes to ground vehicles which don’t enjoy that maneuverability

[slender isle]

not the indicator

the Icon

ontop of the missile

the yellow like damage indicator thing is find

[arctic grove]

Ah my bad

[slender isle]

Yeah, The icon is insanely stupid imo

[arctic grove]

Well after hearing they’re gonna mess around with Mackays nimble that could be possible

[slender isle]

Give it as a special trait to like Casper in the air or something

Like, while in a heli as casper he can see the icons of missiles

So if you choose to bail, you're stuck as casper lmao

[ebon pilot]

that doesn't make sense with classes

[slender isle]

Lore wise it does though

He's a pilot

[ebon pilot]

and angel is an engineer

[slender isle]

Okay, well who fits into the pilot thing that also works as a kind of spotting

Cause it's not an engineer

imo it's between casper and Rao

Casper was a pilot

I don’t Even know half my own mains story smh

[slender isle]

He's literally got a pilot skin

[magic bloom]

Yeah I know that but skins don’t always have to mean something

[scarlet relic]

What game mode u play the most guys

[magic bloom]

Probably breakthrough

[timid hearth]

conquest

[naive quiver]

I only play breakthrough 😂

[scenic frost]

conquest or TDM

[wide shore]

Pretty much nothing but conquest

I used to play BT a lot when it was 128p

[fathom osprey]

i see so many downsides to the new matchmaking system in 2042
the old system allowed persistent servers, a server browser and way more gamemodes. i really hope the next BF game returns to how matchmaking worked in past BF games, it allowed some really important BF features to be present. 2042 is the first recent BF game without its own original gamemode in the main game (aka not HZ)

[arctic grove]

@next onyx did you see a flying house today :D?

[ebon pilot]

2042 has all of those, they're just in Portal

[fathom osprey]

portal is presented in 2042 as a "sidemode". hence why its ignored by the large majority of the community. people want to play the 'main game'.

those features should be a part of the main game

[arctic grove]

Pizzacat and cryptic can you ping me when way replies to my message or tell him to reply when he comes back :)

[fathom osprey]

what benefit has the new system brought?

[topaz field]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n0bAlrOEYs this guy is soo coooool

[ebon pilot]

but portal is part of the main game

[topaz field]

plug it into chatgpt

[ebon pilot]

no

[arctic grove]

@ebon pilot

[ebon pilot]

i'm about to go back to bed

it's 5 am

[arctic grove]

Oh my bad then chief

[topaz field]

[next onyx]

No i didn't.

[arctic grove]

what! My jet worked though

[neat cave]

who wants to level up there guns with me?

[arctic grove]

Unfortunately they don’t plan on changing it either

[neat cave]

GUN FARM ANY ONE?

[idle lion]

fukin finally, i can expirience bf2042 in glorious 60fps yet again

[fathom osprey]

yeah i have given up on it for 2042, i just really hope DICE decides to revert to the old system in the next game. otherwise i wont be buying it

[quaint vector]

Please stop with this.. If you want any teammates to play with try this !!lfg

[arctic grove]

If anything that only serves to prompt more questions. If it’s already in Portal, what’s the issue about bringing it over to AOW

Hell, they did it with the guns

[fringe spire]

Hey I'm trying to buy some battlefield coins, but clicking on the options in the in-game store just does nothing 🤔

ah maybe I have to enable steam overlay for bf

[quaint vector]

Try it from store directly, not from the ingame store

[idle lion]

yes

if you own the game on steam you need that

[fringe spire]

okay

initially had both steam and ea overlay turned off

and I had an error that told me it needed the origin overlay

guess the error message wasn't tweaked to adapt in case of steam

yep steam overlay fixed it, ty yall

[quaint vector]

[upbeat sand]

You can buy it on EA app seperately

On the launcher

[ebon pilot]

because why bring it over to AOW if it's already in portal?

[arctic grove]

That’s not very good logic not to do it just because it’s already in Portal. Clearly people want the games original, actual AOW experience alongside a group of mechanics and features to make matchmaking and map rotation better, we already know how Portal is being utilized anyways. So if anything that only adds more fuel to the fire

[fathom osprey]

because portal is presented as a sidemode. a better solution would be a "Browse Games" option when you open up the CQ tab for example. rather than it all being under a separate option

[ebon pilot]

AOW is for standard experiences that 75% of players want to play without badmins or weird rulesets. Just plain Conquest and Breakthrough. In this case, why have persistent servers or a browser? The experience can be spun up on demand depending on the number of players in matchmaking.

I think there is something to be said about map rotations though. Like in solo games, being able to select what maps you want to play would be great. But that doesn't necessitate a whole server browser. Just an option in a small submenu before entering matchmaking.

[idle lion]

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD.... i just found out my monitor has Audio OUT and holy fuck the sound is so pure, so good i cant believe it...

[fathom osprey]

because a server browser and persistent servers is simply a better experience...? choose the particular server with the particular map you want to play.

servers being spun up and shut down on demand sucks. when you join a game and it ends, there is no guarantee you will make it into the next lobby and in servers like here in OCE, that might be the only server active at the time.

[idle lion]

what? in oce theres almost always active servers any time from 1pm - 3am

i play in OCE so id know

[fathom osprey]

yes. but my point is that there may only be one active server in a particular gamemode, and if that server is full, you will be chucked into an empty game

[idle lion]

yes but see i said servers as in multiple active servers

[fathom osprey]

with a server browser, and persistent servers, you can join and always go onto the next map in the same server. and also importantly, you can join a queue for a full server

[idle lion]

which i meant there are multiple active instances of both BT and CQ

[fathom osprey]

not always

[next onyx]

New weeklies.

[idle lion]

not always you are right but most of the time

enough for it to be bearly noticable

[fathom osprey]

most of the time at the moment, but get to mid season and there is usually only 1 BT game and only the CQ LTM

[quaint vector]

Gold.... Gold...

[idle lion]

ayo wtf is that skin, it looks good

[quaint vector]

👀

[ebon pilot]

I'd argue against that. Over here it's a better experience to me to say "I want X or Y, find something or spin it up" and have the computer do everything for me. As funny programmer man this is what makes sense to me

[next onyx]

I'd rather join all out warfare server servers through a server browser because I can select my map and stay in the lobby.

I don't want to search for a match again when the game ends.

Shit is stupid.

Quick match should always exist yes, But so should a browser for all out warfare for those wanting to choose.

[fathom osprey]

selecting filters to matchmake would wreck the playerbase in OCE

server browser is a better option that works worldwide

[fathom osprey]

exactly

[next onyx]

A server browser would allow people in smaller regions to see how many games are being played.

[arctic grove]

Regardless… add a server browser and persistent lobbies. What’s up with this fucking confusion when that’s something that was tried and tested for 20 years with this franchise lol

[fathom osprey]

have both options for people that really dont want to choose for themselves

[next onyx]

Giving a good idea on what's being played.

Off topic. Cryptic have we met in game?

[fathom osprey]

probably

[arctic grove]

Like seriously, keep quick game but add the additional functionality, and yes, a server browser is 100% necessary for choosing the maps and player count i want. Badmins are going to be a con of it but I would much rather deal with those (even though there’s already an abundance of dice servers anyways) than this

[idle lion]

i hate the fact that "Phiality" is considered an offensive term according to EA

[fathom osprey]

in every other BF title, i didnt realise how important the server browser and persistent lobbies were to me. they were just the way i always got into games. now that they have been removed i am realising how much better they make the experience. i literally wont buy the next game depending on how matchmaking works. such a seemingly small thing that is very important

[next onyx]

Thing is too is that you don't exactly have to join a player owned server.

All out warfare servers do the job.

24/7 BT and CQ.

In one playlist.

Zero issues.

That was fun.

[arctic grove]

In my personal experience I only notice most community servers on 3/4 anyways

[ebon pilot]

Those are spun up or down on demand

[fathom osprey]

getting into servers is just so much better in BFV and earlier

[next onyx]

Those still start up and people join.

[idle lion]

idk way, imo i have had huge troubles getting into games due to long queues in OCE servers specifically at night

[next onyx]

It would be nice if you knew what you were joining, How many people were in a server.

[idle lion]

whenever i wanted to play since i arrived in Aussieland i never was able to hop on without waiting forever in BF1/4

[next onyx]

So you could plan in advance.

[fathom osprey]

and it would be nice if you could queue for a full game

[arctic grove]

It’s all good both systems have their pros and cons and I know they won’t add that stuff to 2042 aow I’m just saying

I’d rather it be there next time around

[ebon pilot]

If everyone uses a browser, how does matchmaking know what demand is?

[fathom osprey]

i hope one of the devs reads this
