battlefield-2042

[halcyon bear]

also 3 AGMs doesn't kill a wildcat? what a clown show

[dawn gorge]

So what's the general consensus on the new map

[arctic grove]

ppl playing with ballistic shields are disabled

[naive magnet]

Small

[arctic grove]

npc

[solar minnow]

imo it's too small and gets boring after a couple of games. The content this season is way too small...

[ruby crag]

[reef cedar]

where you can shoot 13 ICBMs at a take, and it might lose 40 health, which it will instantly heal within the next 15 seconds

[fresh lintel]

Ballistic shields as in the Plates or Dozer?

Both of which are skill issue, on your end.

The only point you'd have against Plates is that they shouldnt affect Headshots, but its rarely an issue.

[dawn gorge]

Wonder what possessed them to make another flat map

A small flat map

[fresh lintel]

What, reclaimed?

[dawn gorge]

Ye

[fresh lintel]

Its a BF4 map so its less them making and more so them just.. Touching up an old map

[solar minnow]

I still say Exposure was the best map so far.

[dawn gorge]

Idk I liked how Flashpoint had some vertical gameplay

Yeah exposure has been the best

[fresh lintel]

I'm a fan of Exposure, but that Borg cube map is good too

[dawn gorge]

Spearhead do be a fun one

I'm honestly more excited for the hourglass rework than I was for reclaimed

Think there's any chance for a remake next season or nawh

[solar minnow]

spearhead is pretty good. The only thing I change is having it be less narrow and more rounded. thats about it.

[dawn gorge]

Yeah I don't have many complaints about Spearhead

[ruby crag]

Anyone wanting to play? I’m in https://discord.com/channels/140933721929940992/909508115467227287 if you wanna join:)

[solar minnow]

The main issue is everyone gets stuck at C unless a transport fly's them over it to the back spawn. It completely destroys the flow of the objectives without the transport.

[dawn gorge]

Yeah you're right

[solar minnow]

It seems like Dice can't balance maps around Breakthrough and Conquest together. Each map they release plays to it's strengths in one of those gamemodes but not both which really sucks.

[dawn gorge]

Which is funny because I feel like bfv was fine with both modes

[rigid nova]

Favorite meta brrrrrr gun?

[sour meadow]

that feeling when you shoot out a pilot and steal their nightbird

[solar minnow]

Yeah, BFV pulled it off pretty well for the most part. Some post maps weren't so good though.

[calm bison]

If you’re looking for Brrrr go for the PKP

[rigid nova]

Meta?

[warm stirrup]

Mtar and acwr are the new meta

[dawn gorge]

I play alot of rush and most 2042 maps are super one sided

[sour meadow]

best thing

can we all give a RIP to Hell Let Loose fans

[warm stirrup]

Mtar has 900 rpm
4 hit kill range

[rigid nova]

No i mean pkp isnt

[solar minnow]

At 30meters fam. mid to long range engagments it sucks.

[dawn gorge]

Also why is rush only 75 reinforcements? I could've sworn it was higher in the old games

[warm stirrup]

Not with the warhak compensator and grip

[rigid nova]

Same

Which grip

[solar minnow]

huh, I haven't tried those yet. I guess I'll see but the bullet spread is really bad the farther they are.

[warm stirrup]

Only grip mtar can unlock

[rigid nova]

Kk

[warm stirrup]

Or lwg grip

[mighty elm]

Maybe also a problem because their future proof SBMM is not working out well. I have far more one sided matches in 2042 than in BFV or BF1 which use persistent servers

[rigid nova]

Last patch felt better ngl

[dawn gorge]

What a big brain move to add sbmm to battlefield

Man

[rigid nova]

Leaves game

[drowsy shuttle]

Wha?

[mighty elm]

On the new map despite its cover I am getting shot in the back all the time. Something feels off.

[dawn gorge]

Really wish more people were running actual portal servers and not just xp farms

[dawn gorge]

Sarcasm

[warm stirrup]

I have a few

[mighty elm]

Tried a portal server regular rotation but it never fills up to more than 12 players which is kind of useless

[dawn gorge]

How populated do they usually get?

[warm stirrup]

Not much sadly

[dawn gorge]

Yeah

[rigid nova]

Theres a chaos server thats always packed

[white geyser]

Should I try this XCE BAR?

[dawn gorge]

I played on a bf3 all maps server a few nights ago on exposure and I was the most fun I've had on the game

[warm stirrup]

Afghanistan sim is always packed

[dawn gorge]

And it was full

Of course the disconnect glitch killed it

And now everyone's just doing the war sim server again 😦

[warm stirrup]

Didn't they fix that yesterday?

[dawn gorge]

Ye

[drowsy shuttle]

No

[warm stirrup]

I heard the new sniper is the best

[drowsy shuttle]

Best sniper is rm68

[dawn gorge]

😦

Bruh and they messed with the damage falloff of the m416

Things like 9 bullets to kill at a range without a suppressor

[arctic grove]

m416 fell off

[warped bramble]

Yay now I can roleplay invading a country for oil

[grizzled island]

I don't even understand that server. that map is so long that you end up getting sniped

[warm stirrup]

Not to mention it's a hardcore server

[grizzled island]

I literally don't understand the enjoyment of that server

[dawn gorge]

Me either

[warm stirrup]

Hardcore servers always fill surprisingly

[granite island]

Apparently falck has a missing son

Surprised it's not grandson

[dawn gorge]

2042 lore

Idek what's going on in the games story

[fresh lintel]

Its good. Genuinely great for CQC stuff.

[vale wadi]

Vehicles are so frail in this game it’s so annoying

[sick eagle]

have they fixed the Portal xp glitch

[vale wadi]

Why do helicopters and jets get one shot by self guided rcokets when there are 64 players in the enemy team, add AA, auto guided rockets aa tanks railgun tanks, heck even the tanks themselves are frail

They honestly feel like pape planes more than war machines

[jovial jay]

They are in 2042

You'd go for the agile one instead of the supposedly tough one

Like screw the MBT, use the EBLC RAM, it can escape death quicker

Screw attack heli, go stealth and only bomb

[silent shadow]

best assault rifle rn?

[jovial jay]

Gew and rm68

Mtar too

[rocky kraken]

new sniper is so good

that i wil lnever touch any of the others

ever agian'

[drowsy shuttle]

I hope in season 6 they fix the hit reg issues with the 6x thermal scope

[fresh lintel]

Just need to make it center

All thermals arent center

[jovial jay]

You get that too?

I thought I was tripping

[fresh lintel]

Nah you arent.

[jovial jay]

What a damn shame, that scope is so useful

[drowsy shuttle]

Happens since season 4

[jovial jay]

Wtf

[fresh lintel]

I only use 6x on my Rorsch for Anti sniper stuff, thats how I know its off center lmao

[jovial jay]

And they never bother fixing it

[drowsy shuttle]

well, just 200 more kills to t1 the XCE, then i probably will never touch it again. SWS is better overall

[fresh lintel]

I prefer the XCE, all the ranges I use the SWS at are where the XCE shines

[drowsy shuttle]

imo SWS is more versatile, bigger magazine, reload and ADS speed is not that different

also, long range barrel in case you need

[fresh lintel]

XCE has a faster rechamber no?

[drowsy shuttle]

short if you go close/medium

[dapper river]

Afghanistan war sim
none of the maps are set in Afghanistan
B r a v o experience host!

[drowsy shuttle]

perhaps.. but i don't think its a bigger difference... also, can't compete against AR's a medium range (neither of them) .. you hit one shot, then while you reload.. you gonna get melted

yeah i know.. go for headshots... well, its not always possible

[fresh lintel]

This game has weird hitboxes anyways

[drowsy shuttle]

we all know the majority of the player base hates sniping... so well.. Dice listen to them

i mean its almost impossible to do a quickscope while strafe... you need to stop and shoot

[fresh lintel]

I dont mind it. Just annoying and having some twat pick you out and miss headshots.

But then land nothing but body shots.

[arctic grove]

20 hours until Battlebit release

[spare quest]

i might actually play it, it wasn't that bad when i tried it

[sick eagle]

why are the portal lobbies full of players always boring gamemodes

[lilac dust]

G46 Tier 1'd 💪

I personally use high power / extended , LWG Grip, Tactical compensator and Fusion Holo. Had fun using that on my tier 1 grind

[dull fox]

I’m a rookie pmu

[halcyon bear]

Definitely seems like the rock-paper-scissors has been lost. Ground vehicles can fully auto-repair faster than you can regen 2 AGMs, and the 25mm doing zero damage to armor is bogus.

[lilac dust]

Haven't tried the deagle til now and oooh baby I'm back home 🥹feels so good

[hybrid totem]

CAN IT....
One shot a nightbird pilot?

[lilac dust]

Well its a one shot headshot so yes lol

[hybrid totem]

Does it have a 4x?

[spare quest]

yes, the raven scope

[lilac dust]

Yessir

[hybrid totem]

Excellent.

[spare quest]

well it depends on the range

[lilac dust]

Ye probably not as much range as the M44

But apart from that it feels amazing

[spare quest]

1hit headshot range is only up to 39 meters

[hybrid totem]

So multiplying damage against nightbird pilots is the answer...

[jovial jay]

Just take the 35mm wildcat

Those nightsweats fall like paper with the 35mm

[lilac dust]

Imma keep it real... I don't want ANY more vault weapons. Just repeat season 5 by adding old fan favourites as 2042 weapons. Imagine if deagle or G46 was added as a vault weapon. They would feel so crap lol

[next onyx]

They wouldn't because they'd be completely new guns.

[lilac dust]

Deagle would not have that slick reload if it was a vault weapon too

Yeah I know theyre not carbon copies of old weapons

[next onyx]

The original template for portal weapons are kind of whatever.

[lilac dust]

But I hope the rest of the demanded vault weapons just get added as new versions in next BP

[next onyx]

The newer template should be easier though.

For context. You know how portal weapons feel different from 2042 weapons right.

It's because portal weapons literally use their own template for some reason.

Though weapons like the mtar and rpk literally feel exempt from it.

[lilac dust]

Well I know theyre made by ripple mostly and not dice but wasnt aware of the template thing

[next onyx]

It looks like I'm speaking out of my ass but it's something I've genuinely noticed.

[jovial jay]

There was a tweet for season 6 right?

[next onyx]

Yes.

[lilac dust]

Honestly its mainly the copy pasted animations that annoy me about vault weapons. G46 and Deagle have just enough of a new feel with their animations to feel good

[next onyx]

Reminds me that people say the deagle is a portal weapon since its a returning weapon.

[jovial jay]

Lets hope ranger wont be all alone in its category by the time the game stop getting new seasons

[next onyx]

The g46 and bsv-m are the most portal like but literally don't see anyone talking about that.

[lilac dust]

I'm only gonna tier 1 a vault weapon when I run out of 2042 weapons. All assault rifle vault weapons share mostly the same exact animations that I just feel its not respecting my time by using it but thats me

[next onyx]

The m16 was super viable for the longest time.

Now it's been hit hard with the spread changes.

Portal weapons ironically had their own niche even if the community didn't feel it.

[jovial jay]

Yea fr

[next onyx]

M16 competed against the rm so damn well.

[jovial jay]

I love using the m60e4, rarely see anyone using it

[next onyx]

M60 not a bad gun either.

[lilac dust]

Mtar for example tho has a copy pasted reload and the only way I could look past it being half the size of the BF4 version is if they added a new reload animation

[next onyx]

Xm8 MG was my favourite.

[jovial jay]

Its stable and fitted for mid range firing, closer range still work well enough but the xm8 lmg is still better for both close and mid

Too bad there's no suppression points in 2042

[next onyx]

It's definitely a medium ranged MG cause it gets out gunned closer up.

But it's not terrible either.

I hope it gets an xm320.

But there'll probably be some mounting issues.

[lilac dust]

I need to remind myself to ask for new animations on existing vault weapons in the next feedback survey... wish i remembered a couple days ago when I sent this months 🙃

[next onyx]

I'm not so concerned over the animations as long as it just works.

They're not bad but nor are they good.

Though I've overheard they were tweaked a bit?

[lilac dust]

ACR is broken good rn tho no?

[next onyx]

Yes.

[lilac dust]

I may give it a try if I tier 1 this deagle before they nerf it

[jovial jay]

Bring the .50 cal sniper from bc2 in I think the community will be happy about that

Powerful but not as sluggish as the ntw

[sour meadow]

i sit just me or did season 4 fly by

[lilac dust]

Yeah it did

[wide shore]

Felt like it would never end imo

[lilac dust]

But then again i was busy playing lightfall during that season

[granite island]

D2 for 3 months straight

Soul crushing

[lilac dust]

Ok yeah season 4 was pretty long cos lightfall came out on the same day and then season of the deep came out before season 5 for 2042 so yeah flashpoint season was very long lol

[granite island]

Now then

Only 76 days left

Till season 6

Why am I treating this like season 6 is a week away

[lilac dust]

I played plenty of apex in between too and some singeplayer games. I'm not THAT crazy

[balmy lintel]

Yo

[trail prawn]

I really want to play the updated hourglass map

[balmy lintel]

Question has anyone bf ever crashed

The bf2042

[hybrid totem]

Yes.

[trail prawn]

here and there

[balmy lintel]

Bro mine crashed like 15 min in a game

With no error

And I have great cpu

And gpu

The game runs

But idk why it crashes

[lilac dust]

Very very very rarely but yes

[trail prawn]

same. mine will freeze for a sec and then give up and close itself

[balmy lintel]

I like even uninstalled and installed

[balmy lintel]

Yea same

It like stops like almost like being disconnected

And it then it closes me out

Without an error

Any fixes???

[trail prawn]

acceptance

[balmy lintel]

😭😭😭

Dawg I just wanna play da game

@trail prawn u know anyone that can help me?

[trail prawn]

no lol sorry

[balmy lintel]

It’s all good I appreciate ur reply 💯

[trail prawn]

burger breath

[little lagoon]

Any recommended attachments?

[fresh lintel]

Engineer is the most common class in this game

Yet not a single Engineer shoots tanks.

[quaint vector]

This PlayerCard looks great for Season 5

[patent path]

extended mag

[fresh lintel]

For ACW I use STNR (Blue laser) and standard mags. And I think Vert recoil muzzle

[hybrid totem]

did you get that from bfstats?

[arctic grove]

How common is it to be stuck on "connecting to online services". It's been 3 days for me.

[fresh lintel]

Nah I made it the fuck up

But its a genuine issue of seeing most players as Boris and no one bothers shooting tanks

And then me being the only engineer to bother, also has no ammo because supports only run heal.

:^)

[little lagoon]

That's it? Lol

[patent path]

yup

the other attachments are up to you

[hybrid totem]

I think you just figured out the issue - they do shoot tanks but they always run out of ammo

[radiant umbra]

They uh… Really need to rename Assault Rifle Rush to EMP’s ur hud.

[edgy oriole]

i need to level up my bar gameplay from 25-30 to 35-40

[arctic grove]

When are BF4 playercards coming to 2042?

[arctic grove]

fr

[fossil trench]

This ^^^

I can’t go back to 30 round mags on guns lol

[warm stirrup]

Mtar better than acwr

Op

Mtar + warhawk compensator & lwg grip

900 rpm
4 shot kill

[quiet shell]

Man I remember the absolute outrage people had when it turned out BF4 was running servers that sat in the 15-45hz range. So DICE bumped it all up to 60 and 120 hz.
Now we're lucky if 2042 maintainsna stable 45hz

All because someone thinks having third party server hosting is a legacy feature

(Its not a legacy feature if its in the previous game)

[warm stirrup]

More players = less hz tho

[thorny crown]

Was is considered the meta gun for this season?

[drowsy shuttle]

Rm68

But you need to use vpn to play with or easy anti cheat might get you

[topaz breach]

VPN to use RM68!?

[drowsy shuttle]

Yes

[calm bison]

ACW-R and MTAR are good guns now and tend to own the field.
The GEW-46 is a solid contender for “meta” and has good overall performance.
The RM-68, although good, gives you the look of being a shitter that needs a crutch. It’s like the dead ringer of Battlefield. It’s insanely useful and powerful, but using it makes you look like a douche

[thorny crown]

Even if I’m an absolute demon?!

[drowsy shuttle]

Are you a demon?

Should i call John?

[thorny crown]

I can hold my own

[thorny crown]

So basically being a try hard without trying hard

[calm bison]

If you want to tryhard without making it look like you are tryharding, use something like the M5 or M416

Both are incredibly good guns

[thorny crown]

Might have to try the MTar

Really wanted to use it when it came out but it just lacked something to make it worth using

[fiery shoal]

imo very few guns are not viable

[kindred flint]

its time to step down as a mod, you clearly cant focus enough time here being a s649

[quaint vector]

I have just few hours in the game bro.. What do you mean...

[kindred flint]

your yardstick for the term few must be amazing

I dont even think im 170 yet..sadge

[quaint vector]

[ebon pilot]

I'm at ~S214 or something and have 750 hours in the game wtf are yours?

[silk mango]

2k probably

[kindred flint]

are you not playing optimally? 750 hrs is a lot

[spiral hound]

guys my recon badge progress has been blocked since s5 update what should i do

[kindred flint]

ignore the badge as its meaningless

[ebon pilot]

I play conquest mostly

[kindred flint]

oh, was thinking you were playing the smaller modes or something that doesnt give a lot of xp

i think im at 260 hrs

[ebon pilot]

and some of the smaller modes

[kindred flint]

oh wait no 363..thought 60 was in there somewhere

[spiral hound]

no

it means a little

[fresh lintel]

Its busted right now. Fastest TTK in the game (excluding shotties/NTW of course)

All the Vault ARs are unbelievably good right now.

[little lagoon]

Nope I don't get this game anymore. Nothing makes sense to me anymore. I'm taking a long break.

Rip me

[limber orbit]

gotta do what you gotta do

[drowsy shuttle]

Im gonna miss hourglass

[rare storm]

Why is hardline dead???

Goated game

[edgy oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/dr-evil-how-about-no-austin-powers-gif-17640212

[drowsy shuttle]

Its the last sniping map

Then its over

[edgy oriole]

Reclaimed is pretty good. I'm still trying to find a good b sector spot tho

Manifest is the worst sniping map for me.

[drowsy shuttle]

I like reclaimed.. but for sniping nothing better than hourglass.. just went 60-10 with XCE

[edgy oriole]

I need that

[drowsy shuttle]

Attacking breakthrough

[edgy oriole]

Highest I got so far is 33 or 36. No deaths so im prolly holding myself back

[drowsy shuttle]

No deaths, then thats good

[edgy oriole]

I need more kills tho

[thorn pond]

hope people stop playing old battlefields so we get more ppl on the new onesd

[edgy oriole]

[drowsy shuttle]

I got revived a few times

138 kills left for t1 the XCE

[edgy oriole]

The same 4k people playing bf4 will stay with it to the end

[royal swan]

Well most are, the few Battlefields that get good player counts is V and 1, with some 4

[thorn pond]

respect

[edgy oriole]

I think I'm over 800 now. I need it done fast

[royal swan]

2042 still remains the most popular bf in player count

[drowsy shuttle]

Yeah if they didnt migrated to bf 2042 yet, they wont do it

[edgy oriole]

Which is crazy to me. Idk how people can play a game for that long

[meager hemlock]

Why DICE gotta give us impossible weeklies, I cannot get a fifth win no matter what.

[kindred flint]

good fuck widow mains oh wait wrong game

[drowsy shuttle]

Breakthrough is your best friend.. conquest people are more scattered also.. you get shot from almost everywhere..

[edgy oriole]

I get bored between 20-60 hours

[thorn pond]

as time goes by ad graphics gettig out dated people will slowly move towards the new

[kindred flint]

its not a weekly...you have till the end of the season to get a win

[edgy oriole]

I only play bt. Cq boring as hell

[drowsy shuttle]

Mah man

(I play conquest sometimes, mainly when BT servers are empty, but i admit sometimes i have fun in conquest specially if the games are balanced and close)

[kindred flint]

64p conquest is more fun than 128

[drowsy shuttle]

Seriously? Weekly missions are getting easier every season...

[drowsy shuttle]

I agree

[kindred flint]

tbf i can agree with the "why cant i get this last win" frustration as its happened to me

its not a hard mission...but when you farm losses over and over it makes you wonder

[royal swan]

Nah fam that's a skill issue

Easily completed this week's missions

[drowsy shuttle]

Play attacking BT.. offense wins 90% of the time

[stiff pollen]

Play TDM

[kindred flint]

i looked at the missions once...not sure how many i passively finished already

[royal swan]

Want a win 90% of the time, play BT exposure defense

[edgy oriole]

this my mode layout

[stiff pollen]

Whoever added in that get 1500 grenade damage is an ass tho

I had to run around with fire nades for a whole round

[royal swan]

The layout of that map is so fucking biased towards defending it's not even funny

[kindred flint]

doesnt underbarrel work for that?

[edgy oriole]

whoever took away sundance nad and ubg not counting is an ass

[stiff pollen]

[edgy oriole]

i was trying to cheese it but they made me work

[drowsy shuttle]

Lol yeah that one need a bit more time.. but its cool, i would like more missions like that

[stiff pollen]

Yeah sundance doesn’t count, vehicle nade launchers don’t count

[royal swan]

Hey, work smarter not harder

[stiff pollen]

underbarre doesn’t count

Only grenades

[drowsy shuttle]

Need 300 more damage to complete it

[kindred flint]

what did UB count for previously?

[royal swan]

Is this for grenade damage

It's so obvious, throw them at enemy vehicles

Duhh

[stiff pollen]

I just threw fire nades on camping recons

[royal swan]

Fire nades are meh

[wide shore]

Yeah I’m just gonna do it by throwing the AT grenade at vehicles

[royal swan]

There you go

Not so hard is it

[wide shore]

I already got like almost 500 and I only played 2 games last night

[kindred flint]

inb4 sniped by random camping recon before you get the throw off

[drowsy shuttle]

Remember you can finish weekly missions in the upcoming weeks... so you guys have time... only the bonus ones needs to be done in the respectively week

[stiff pollen]

Yeah but you see I don’t wanna play every week

[drowsy shuttle]

Lol yeah...

[royal swan]

Just play a full day then

[royal swan]

Or just get the 10

[royal swan]

If you get the 10 bonus you are free to stop

[wide shore]

Wasn’t it supposed to be 20 this week?

[stiff pollen]

Yea

[royal swan]

Oh is it

[drowsy shuttle]

Hum?

[wide shore]

Is it actually though?

[royal swan]

Idk

This bp is going by fast tbh

[wide shore]

Yeah I’m almost at 50

[royal swan]

That 20% bonus of bp XP is wild

[kindred flint]

generally the last bp of a game goes like that

[wide shore]

Not to mention the 5 day double xp and all the boosts in the BP

[royal swan]

Second last maybe

We got s6

[kindred flint]

nah s6 will be cleanup with no bp

[drowsy shuttle]

Yeah im lvl 56 in the first week of the BP... what a boost

[royal swan]

I'm at what 23 ish

Didn't really play first week

All the issues and all

[kindred flint]

dice just better do a solid for us and shut down the servers end of august...we gunna have our plates full with new releases in sept

[wide shore]

LOL

TRUE

[royal swan]

Honestly even with the lack of new content, I didn't feel like the game has low content anymore

[rocky kraken]

yo

[kindred flint]

your name is terrible

[rocky kraken]

does anyone know how to hide the plus menu

[wide shore]

If they think I’m playing 2042 over Starfield, Payday 3 & Phantom Liberty they’re high.

[kindred flint]

same, except for payday

[royal swan]

Starfield will play like redfall, payday 3 is just payday 2, phantom Liberty eh maybe

[kindred flint]

apparently the phantom liberty patch is going to massively overhaul the game too, even if you dont buy the DLC the free update will fix a lot of shit

[royal swan]

Payday 3 is getting a lot of shit for still looking like payday 2

[kindred flint]

but i still have to play through the base game for a 2nd time since its already massively changed since i played at launch

[wide shore]

It’s going to be a massively better game than redfall. 30 FPS and all

[kindred flint]

hey it cant be worse than overwatch 2

[silent shadow]

Yall missing out on the "new" diablo 4 version if u know what i mean. I can finally play it

[wide shore]

Payday 3 not running on that shitty diesel engine is a massive upgrade period.

[fresh lintel]

Its a bethesda game, itll be buggy but at least itll be better than Red.

[drowsy shuttle]

Im concerned about the performance in starfield...

[royal swan]

As long as the dlc is cheap dirt I'm ok

[silent shadow]

I aint playing bf until i finished diablo 4 sus version 5 times

[silent shadow]

30fps on new gen consoles is confirmed

[royal swan]

Payday 3 will have the same dlc system as payday 2

[drowsy shuttle]

Usually thats a red flag, right?

[kindred flint]

i looked away for like 5 mins with payday 2 and suddenly it had as much dlc as a fucking train sim game

[wide shore]

Good. I mean. Do we need more battlepasses?

I sure as shit don’t want more.

[delicate hollow]

I love when two guys on my team spend the match typing at each other rather than playing the game

[royal swan]

It says it has seasons on the store page but a dev said it was just a way to purchase the game higher price and get the dlc for free

[fresh lintel]

Battlepasses need to be like Infinites/DRGs or they need to go.

[stiff pollen]

Infinites isn’t really the paragon of good BP’s lol

[kindred flint]

literally any dev company in current year
how can we make our game better???
listen to costumers? no
make the game fun? no
add in a BP to milk money out of the player base?

[wide shore]

Battlepasses are such a crutch for keeping players engaged. Just make a good game and people will be engaged.

[royal swan]

Battlepasses can stay as long as they remain ethical and enjoyable

[fresh lintel]

I mean: You buy it you can do it whenever you want. Complete it seasons after.

You're not punished for taking breaks.

[wide shore]

FOMO is not a replacement for fun.

[royal swan]

A better crutch, before we had gambling lootboxes

[stiff pollen]

You were punished for playing the game more than the weekly missions tho lol

[wide shore]

Both are shit.

[kindred flint]

ethical? well there goes 50% of current BP games

[fresh lintel]

Infinite might not be content packed but i'd rather little content per pass and no FOMO over shit like Destiny 2 where I spend $15 and get told to fuck myself lmao

[royal swan]

Well with bp you aren't wasting as much money

[kindred flint]

the only thing i like about the 2042 BP is its fuck all easy to hit 100

[royal swan]

You waste time on playing the game

[stiff pollen]

Oh that’s the issue you play destiny

Idk what to tell you mate

[wide shore]

Unless you don’t finish it. Then you miss out on stuff you paid for.

[royal swan]

True but that's why they are effective

The fear of missing out

[wide shore]

It’s the perfect method for keeping player retention.

You don’t wanna waste your money and not get everything you paid for.

[royal swan]

But it's more moral than lootboxes

[wide shore]

But at the same time, it’s ridiculous that we’re forced to play the game regularly in order to get the content we paid for.

[silent shadow]

Redfall had 30fps and that was a red flag. But for such an ambitious project like starfield. Honestly thats fine

[stiff pollen]

Starfield likely has its physics tied to FPS still

[royal swan]

The game doesn't force you, the mind does

[kindred flint]

30fps is just a skill money issue with consoles

[wide shore]

Sure. But regardless, the fact that if you take a break, or miss out on a few weeks of playing for whatever reason, you literally just don’t get stuff you paid for.

[silent shadow]

But its enough coins to get the next battlepass "for free" so its worth the risk lol

[drowsy shuttle]

30 fps is bad imo... but im on PC... so.. i hope i get a bit more than that... but im not optimistic... i just hope is not another cyberpunk

[silent shadow]

Well its bethesda...

[wide shore]

It’s almost paying for addiction.

[stiff pollen]

Pc is targeting 30 fps too but won’t fault players for hitting 60. Im just hoping the engine physics aren’t tied to FPS again

[royal swan]

Well that is why it has an option to purchase, you don't need to buy it

[silent shadow]

Literally the first 5 items you get instantly are worth the 10 dollars compared to normal store items..

[wide shore]

Course. But I still think the system sucks

[stiff pollen]

120 fps Starfield but the sandwiches in your cargo hold bounce around like balls

[royal swan]

Better system compared to the one we had before

[silent shadow]

For me the first 5 items are worth it already lol

And all the rest is basically free bonus

[wide shore]

Don’t get me wrong. I like free content. I think it’s better than premium. But I don’t think it’s any better or worse than lootboxes. They’re both awful, and incredibly predatory.

[silent shadow]

If you have enough time and motivation to play. The battlepass is fun to complete and it is giving me a feeling of progression

[kindred flint]

honestly...worth it

[royal swan]

Loot Boxes was straight up predatory and addicting + wasted alot of money

[wide shore]

You can very well also waste your money on a BP.

[royal swan]

Battlepasses waste time but are way cheaper

[kindred flint]

all the EU suckers that had laws banning their use so they couldnt waste money on them peepopointandlaugh

[wide shore]

That’s all I’m sayin

[silent shadow]

120fps in starfield but the bank is searching you because you are broke after buying a new pc with the geforce 42000TI

[royal swan]

If you play the game enough you don't need to buy the bp again

Only once

[silent shadow]

Yall are ignoring the fact that the first 5 items you instantly get are already worth more than the 10 bucks if you compare it to normal store items

[royal swan]

Every bp in every popular game gives you enough reward to get the next one

[wide shore]

Sure. But that’s how they get you to keep playing. Instead of just, idk. Making the game fun.

[royal swan]

Usual battlepasses aren't a time waster

I completed all 4 seasons

And still have time to pass senior year and college quarters with high grades

[wide shore]

Like the game is fine. But the only thing that makes me go “man I wanna play Battlefield 2042” is remembering I gotta complete the battlepass

[silent shadow]

Going back to the home screen seeing that i just unlocked a new skin and the next skin i get is awesome is a fun feeling...

This is gameplay. This is a progression system

[kindred flint]

unless youre playing an FPS and never actually see your characters skin

[silent shadow]

Gloves be dripped out

[silent shadow]

Not relatable at all

[fresh lintel]

I'm somehow finding more oblivious human beings in this game than I did in Planetside

[silent shadow]

Planetside aint even a game

[royal swan]

I completed S4 and during that time I was rewarded basically as an honor role for high consistent grades in my college classes

[silent shadow]

Its an enemy searching simulator

[wide shore]

I mean I’ve gotten the T1 on every pass

But I can’t say I enjoyed myself the entire time.

[silent shadow]

Battlepass is like school. I dont wanna go but i think "man i have to finish this class"

[royal swan]

Don't need to t1 the pass

Just get to tier 100

And stop there

[wide shore]

I wanted to.

[fresh lintel]

Planetside you can at least hear footsteps even if its not loud. And shit.

But here I swear to god I can have an enemy mag dumping an LMG behind us and not a single fucking person would notice

In Planetside I knife someone and 10 people turn around lmao

[silent shadow]

Seems like a you problem

[wide shore]

It is

[royal swan]

You really don't need to, there is no good reward to do so

[silent shadow]

Just dont get the bp until you finished it lol

[wide shore]

Just because I engage the system, that doesn’t necessarily mean I have to like the idea of it.

[acoustic seal]

2planet sound hasn't worked since the ps4 code merge like 8 years ago lol

[royal swan]

I never t1 a season badge

[wide shore]

I like the T1 pins on my playercard

[silent shadow]

Bf2042 footsteps n stuff actually good compared to cod. This my friend is a skill issue

[acoustic seal]

sound doesnt work in this game either

[kindred flint]

so is there ever a point to the 6KU suppressor vs wrapped?

[fresh lintel]

I'm surprised they havent cut PS4 entirely after SOE.

[silent shadow]

Thats your fault not the battlepass systems fault

[fresh lintel]

Its not a skill issue when I can go play Battlefield 1 and hear perfectly fine

[royal swan]

I would rather put up t1 badges that take the longest

Like emp t1

[fresh lintel]

But then go play 2042 and i'd be lucky to hear someone run.

[acoustic seal]

they put something in the water around 2016 and made all the audio engineers deaf

[royal swan]

Or the ammo crate t1

[fresh lintel]

CoD has dogshit movement sounds too.

[wide shore]

You have to be purposefully missing my point.

[fresh lintel]

Well MW2 does.

[silent shadow]

Its the future they got stealth boots or sum

Mw2 footsteps are dogsht

[royal swan]

I can't say much for sound design, I use a speaker instead of a headset

[wide shore]

Footsteps in this game are fine

[acoustic seal]

they're really not

[silent shadow]

No. You say that the bp is keeping people playing instead of making the game fun. But that is literally a YOU problem. I dont have that feeling

[acoustic seal]

sometimes i hear someone 20m away as if they were 2m away and people right next to me make no noise

[royal swan]

Honestly I forget they are in the game

[fresh lintel]

Sound design is important. But this games sound design is mediocre.

Gun wise? Fine, i can hear people from across the map and in CQC and even pinpoint a silencers location if theyre firing

But footsteps? I swear its bugged.

[silent shadow]

The gun sounds are clear but sound awful

My nerf gun sounds more realistic than this game

[wide shore]

The BP system, in EVERY game is made solely to keep up player retention. You can enjoy it. But to act like it’s not a predatory system is crazy

The amount of work put into the system over other stuff in the game is clear.

It makes them the most money.

[royal swan]

It's predatory when you choose to get into it

[silent shadow]

I am happy to see a bp in a game. Because that gives me smth to grind for

[wide shore]

It’s the same way with lootboxes

[silent shadow]

Its a progression system. Its gameplay

[silent shadow]

Wrong

[royal swan]

Yeah but different

[fresh lintel]

Oh boy i love ximmers

On my last gen.

[wide shore]

It’s progression you gotta pay for.

[royal swan]

Which is better than having a gambling addiction

[wide shore]

Outside of the “free stuff” which is either gameplay shit, or purposefully bad content.

[silent shadow]

I rather put my money up dices a** so they can fix their game than playing a trash bf

[wide shore]

I mean. It’s not really worked out that way

[silent shadow]

Aslong it is not pay to win im happy

[wide shore]

The game is better. But it’s still not great

[silent shadow]

It improved alot

[acoustic seal]

so tired of daily/weekly chores

[fresh lintel]

At least with the "Free" guns and Specialists you can actually earn by playing versus Overwatches "Go fuck yourself use currency"

Or Destiny 2's "You didnt earn it"

[silent shadow]

Daily/weekly in this game are so easy i do them by accident

[acoustic seal]

i'm intentionally letting a ff14 sub expire right now because fuck tomestone dailies

[mental delta]

Aka "the amount of work put into cosmetics over real content in the game is clear"

[royal swan]

The way battlefield does it is more friendly than others

[fresh lintel]

It is.

Which is why i'm more than happy to spending money on it

[royal swan]

Most battlepasses don't have missions

And are strictly XP based

[fresh lintel]

Destiny? I aint playing till they get rid of that Battlepass shit and bring back all the things I paid for.

[mental delta]

I agree Battlefield battlepass is by far the best I ever got to see but it's still majorly linear and bland cosmetics to me

[silent shadow]

I dont think so. Every bp nowadays has challanges

The cosmetics are honestly trash. But i get my coins back so i dont care

[royal swan]

Not really

Most likely cod

Don't have missions

[silent shadow]

Fortnite literally had the best battlepass and yall cant change my mind

[wide shore]

The only good thing that comes out of battlepasses is occasional cool skins. And free gameplay stuff

And even then. So much work goes into the BP the gameplay stuff is hampered

[silent shadow]

Fortnites battlepass basically was the game for alot of people

[mental delta]

Some are good, but most of them are bad yes, the ones people would find to be the best-looking ones are all in store

[royal swan]

DRG does it well by not including heavily on the fear of missing out or payment

All content goes to the loot pool where you can find in regular matches

[wide shore]

Not putting time limits on the passes is the best case

That way over time you can get everything you paid for.

No matter what

[royal swan]

What I think a good battlepass needs is missions, 50 percent rewards are free, you can get enough currency to get the next bp for free, rewards aren't shit, and is easy to progress

[wide shore]

I mean the weeklies don’t even get you the whole pass. Even if you completed them all, and did all the timed challenges

[royal swan]

I calculated from a older bp for 2042 that if you do all the missions including the limited one you get 588 points

That's 58.8 percent completion strictly doing missions no xp

[kindred flint]

lmao it finally happened...i got in the same lobby as the #1 cringe steamer

[drowsy shuttle]

Enders?

[kindred flint]

no no the other cringe one

[drowsy shuttle]

Nickmercs?

[wide shore]

[kindred flint]

didnt think he even played 2042

mr self proclaimed #1 in world of bestest 2042 players ever yo

[edgy oriole]

iclipped of me killing dscisiv before. after the match i had to pull up his vod bc i knew he would be upset about it. i shouldve died.

[kindred flint]

someone on the enemy team kept taking out his nightbird

and going "ez" after the 2nd or third time "I doNT EvEn CaRe" "No OnE knOws WhO YOu ARe"

actually happy we lost by 400...team couldnt get more than 2 caps for 90% of the match...who knew farming in a nightbird wasnt helpful to the gamemode, weird

[wide shore]

I love shooting down helis

[kindred flint]

the amount of mine kills i got though..wtf people

[wide shore]

Nobody looks for mines

Cause most people don’t use them

[kindred flint]

best one though was spawning right in front of a brawler because lol spawns are amazing in this game, jumping up onto the hood as he tried to run me over...throwing a mine on top of it, not dying to that...somehow, throwing a 2nd mine and killing 4 people in it + myself

[plain hamlet]

mines are my cryptonite

i swear they’re fucking invisible

literally 90% of my vehicle deaths are because of mines,

[kindred flint]

really sad you only get 1 AT nade though..come on dice give me 2

2 lis rocket, 3 mines, 2 AT nade

[plain hamlet]

still not enough if it’s one of those squads

[kindred flint]

while our sweat was farming infantry with a nightbird their vehicles were running the ground game and not allowing our infantry to actually push to the caps

[fresh lintel]

This is why I move around main routes and play passively. I never push into enemy lines.

[warm stirrup]

I once found a vehicle and when i entered it, exploded due to being parked on a mine lol

[stiff pollen]

did he not run agm's lol?

nightbird sweat running rocket pods in year of our lord 2023

[kindred flint]

with the rate of kills he was getting...i dont think vehicles were on the menu

also really appreciate the "im not spawning on foot" mentality of only I can fly in this match

although that seemed to change mid way through after the enenmy engineer was farming kills on him

[arctic grove]

Solaroid or whatever its called should become a universal skin at this point

if ur gonna use it on that many specialists/weapons

in the bp

[smoky python]

Now, I dont know if its just me, cause i stopped playing battlefield for a bit after 4. But damn people are extremely toxic.

[kindred flint]

are you capturing objectives? giving out ammo, reviving?

[unreal yoke]

Haven't been playing much recently and now I'm getting the persistent data error before I can even get to the main menu. Is this a server side issue? I'm on steam

[thick robin]

It was a trap

[drowsy shuttle]

XCE t1'd

G36 next in line

[thick robin]

RPG after

[drowsy shuttle]

Na

[thick robin]

Got Deagle?

[drowsy shuttle]

Yes, not t1'd tho

Fuck that shit lol

[thick robin]

I’m stuck in Thailand, coming back on the 29th to play after my trip

[fresh lintel]

Welcome to 2023. Where people cant be happy, and if you teabag someone they'll get angry.

[robust vapor]

I had been called a cheater once for killing someone 200+m away with the XCE on hourglass

In the head

With a 3.0x scope

[fresh lintel]

In alot of cases I just chalk it off as people being rightfully frustrated.

But cases where someone Teabags, talks in all chat and what not.. 🤷‍♀️

[drowsy shuttle]

Goddamn i got a 380m headshot with XCE and nobody called me cheater... im sad

[fresh lintel]

I tried using the XCE at range, i didnt realise how hard it drops lmao

[robust vapor]

You should try using a low magnified scope and counter snipe people it's fun

Cause you don't get a glint on lower magnified scopes

Kek

[drowsy shuttle]

I use the 3.5x scope.. is the last one you unlock

The M22 3.5x

[robust vapor]

Yeah 3.5 is the highest for no glint

Best one ever

[drowsy shuttle]

Yep

[robust vapor]

But I see no difference between 3.0 and 3.5 tho

[drowsy shuttle]

I just prefer the recticle of the 3.5

[robust vapor]

Those 2 sights are the one I used on the NTW too

It's just wonderful if you aim at the glint of an enemy sniper and got a headshot

[drowsy shuttle]

Ya ya

[mental delta]

Ngl all specialist outfits should be customizable on the side of camos

[drowsy shuttle]

Specially long distance shots and they see im using 3.5x scope

[robust vapor]

Sad the XCE doesn't have an iron sight

But it's nice to catch snipers off guard from far since they're at a disadvantage due to glint

[cerulean orbit]

Anyone else having server issues?

Battlepass tab just missing from menu

[kindred flint]

i had that once...restart your game

[cerulean orbit]

Cheers

[charred stag]

Just curious,what's an easy way to complete the damage inflicted with grenades challenge?

[kindred flint]

AT nades against vehicles probably

assuming youve unlocked them from the BP already..which if you played during all the boosted XP you should

[mighty holly]

_ _

[charred stag]

Alrighty

[frigid violet]

i dont have them yet 😦

unfortunately launched grenades and rocket propelled grenades don't count

[fresh lintel]

Mini nades spammed into groups of enemies or Molotovs

[kindred flint]

Well you still have till the end of the season to actually finish that challenge so just wait till you unlock the AT nade if you dont want to rush it

[frigid violet]

i really hate that they took away sundance's anti armor grenade

before classes came i used to use it to make helicopters flare, then swat them with the stinger

[arctic grove]

fr

[rustic current]

anyone else getting mad lag spikes in conquest ?

[ruby crag]

I think everyone is. Everyone I’ve played with today has gotten it

[frigid violet]

oh i do have the AT grenade i lied

[dark iris]

What’s the fastest way to get attachments unlocked for a weapon?

[remote kiln]

killing people

[hot hazel]

use solo/coop in conquest

[arctic grove]

for once, add a damn team switch In portal...

[hot hazel]

u fight against ai and can prob get up to 110 kill per round if u really try and hunt them down

[dark iris]

I’m trying to get explosive head for crossbow

Understood

[hot hazel]

yeah will prob take 3 rounds cause u need 300 kills for that?

[arctic grove]

pow pow pow

bin bing bing

kill

boom

gg

ez

they added squad, but not team switch?

[dark iris]

Time for the grind 😭

[hot hazel]

its easy

[ivory wraith]

why cant i find a game

[arctic grove]

Which game you trynna join ?

[ivory wraith]

uh

[ivory wraith]

any of the games

[arctic grove]

64vs64 ?

[ivory wraith]

yeah

most of them cant find game

[arctic grove]

You won’t find any games for it, I tried too and nothing

I think people just don’t play it

[ivory wraith]

any gamemodes that have people?

[hybrid totem]

what region, what system, is crossplay on?

[ivory wraith]

yeah

[arctic grove]

Anything apart from con 64vs64 XD

[ivory wraith]

au

Oceana

[arctic grove]

32vs32 conquest is always going crazy

[ivory wraith]

i tride

[arctic grove]

Same for the Portal games specifically rush

[ivory wraith]

tried

[arctic grove]

[carmine rover]

meow

[naive magnet]

Does anyone have a rough estimate for damage percentage with AT Grenades?

On a tank

Trying to decide whether to replace my EMP nades

[hot hazel]

just went 15-22 💀

worst game on reclaimed so far

[snow estuary]

i want 128 tdm

for lulz

[white geyser]

Alright I been grinding this two weapons they added in BF 2042, but it's gonna take me some time to unlock the attachments I want to use

[hybrid totem]

...did they remove the kills vs sector bleed stats, or is my game just buggin out?

[warm stirrup]

I have a server of this vs ai with moderate xp for farming attachments and weapons

[fresh lintel]

XCE claps

[warm stirrup]

That's not the join code silly

The code is for if they want to host their own server with your specific settings

Experience codes are for people hosting their own servers made by people

For people to join they'd have to search it up

[cursive geyser]

My bad

[warm stirrup]

Reason being so many custom experiences on bfportal.gg

[worthy inlet]

Don't share them here anyway

#908101543646089236 is for that

[cursive geyser]

Thank you

[hybrid totem]

...did they remove the kills vs sector bleed stats?

[kindred flint]

good

[hybrid totem]

has no one even looked at the scoreboard since the update?

did they remove the kills vs sector bleed stats?

Or am I not making sense?

Before the update, there was a section on the scoreboard that would tell you how many tickets were lost to deaths, and how many tickets were lost to the enemy having control of sectors and objectives. That statistic is no longer visible on my scoreboard. Was it removed, or is my game just weirdly bugged?

[edgy oriole]

i never noticed anythiing like that

but im not a scoreboard studier

[hybrid totem]

https://media.altchar.com/prod/images/940_530/gm-9deacfd8-33a0-417e-b83c-72f5e3473660-bf-2042-scoreboard.jpg

under the sectors, above the player name

Sector Control and Deaths. That's no longer present.

in fact neither is the sectors controlled

[edgy oriole]

oh this a conquest question. yeah idk nothing about that.

[spare depot]

is there a way to turn on auto-throttle in the jet like in BF4?

[hybrid totem]

bind it to the same key you use for accelerate

[carmine rover]

meow

[royal swan]

Ah yeah ntw uses no effort, meanwhile the bullet drop making a golden ratio

[hybrid totem]

did they remove the kills vs sector bleed stats?

[brittle violet]

anybody wanna play?

later

[royal swan]

People who say ntw uses no skill or effort like it's a shotgun never used the ntw in ranges farther than 25 meters

[celest oar]

not sure if the m16a3 got secret reload animation or it just a bug, but the guy just raise his hand in front and a magazine automatically attach to his hand

[royal swan]

Does it look like he used the force to grab a mag

[celest oar]

yeah, look like that magnetic glove

[royal swan]

It's a secret reload

[celest oar]

nice

[robust vapor]

Will vault weapons get exclusive skins eventually and T1 skins?

[kindred flint]

dont think so

[robust vapor]

Rip

[royal swan]

They may get t1 skins

[robust vapor]

Aight that's ok at least

[royal swan]

Right now it's only the universal skins

[hybrid totem]

did they remove the kills vs sector bleed stats?

[royal swan]

Sector bleed?

[hybrid totem]

https://media.altchar.com/prod/images/940_530/gm-9deacfd8-33a0-417e-b83c-72f5e3473660-bf-2042-scoreboard.jpg
under the sectors, above the player name
Sector Control and Deaths. That's no longer present.

[royal swan]

Idk, I don't play cq

More of a bt type of guy

[safe bramble]

will s6 actually address attack helis

[royal swan]

That doesn't narrow it down

That's just skill issue

[safe bramble]

this game is a skill issue in the franchise

[hybrid totem]

it's fine I'll keep asking until a cq player answers

[royal swan]

Honestly the ntw is just a bad sniper

You can get a better kd using the gol

[spare depot]

you mean afterburner?

[royal swan]

Ntw is good against vehicles but there are far better options

[spare depot]

[hybrid totem]

bind afterburner to the same key you use for accelerate, yes

[kindred flint]

ntw is just a shotgun with proper range

[spare depot]

smart

[fresh lintel]

All this NTW hate and all I have to say is

Skill

Iss-

[celest oar]

if vehicle is too far away, NTW is still best option, Lis rocket can't reach target, other launcher just fly too slow and too big that give the driver has enough time to just dodge it

[royal swan]

I don't like hating the ntw but if it keeps having a bullet drop that can help you draw a "golden ratio" I'ma keep hating

[kindred flint]

of course its such a tiny amount of chip damage their pocket engineer will out heal your dps

[hybrid totem]

did they remove the kills vs sector bleed stats?

[royal swan]

Any conquest players, did they remove the kills + sector bleed stat from the scoreboard

Where it shows how many points both teams lost in deaths and sector bleeding

[hybrid totem]

Gonna pop into a bluetooth game real quick and see if it exists there

[smoky python]

we need a 128 v 128

[acoustic seal]

64v64 already damaged the game enough thank you

[royal swan]

[hybrid totem]

Looks like they removed the breakthrough progression bar as well

[kindred flint]

128v128...the maps going to be a fucking flat empty box

[solid gulch]

🤣

[hybrid totem]

For breakthrough players - did they remove the progession bar under the current objectives?
https://static0.gamerantimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Battlefield-2042---Check-The-Scoreboard.jpg

[royal swan]

Nope

[celest oar]

must be a bug because in conquest large, sometime when capturing there is no progress of the capturing showing too 🤷‍♂️

[royal swan]

Still there

[hybrid totem]

Oh i see, they moved it in breakthrough

So just conquest got messed up

[solid gulch]

xd

[celest oar]

bruh that one person bottom frag with ggez

[fresh lintel]

Its always the bottom fraggers who say that stuff lmao

[celest oar]

[remote kiln]

this is true progress

[hybrid totem]

hey deco take a screenshot of your scoreboard, would you please?

[solid gulch]

🤣

[hybrid totem]

oh wait that's breakthrough

nvm

[glacial quarry]

there an option to unhide curse words

[remote kiln]

there isnt

[glacial quarry]

very unfortunate

hate trying to guess what they’re saying sometimes

[torpid wadi]

Let the enemy call me the nword just as god intended damnit

[hybrid totem]

They did.

[acoustic seal]

hackusations just aren't the same when they can't hit you with the N F

[glacial quarry]

when i played bf4 oce it was all C

epic gamer words were a huge no no though

[celest oar]

c***

[delicate hollow]

part of me hates how they censor words

I wanna know what my teammate who hasn't done a damn thing the entire match calls us when we lose

[hybrid totem]

part of me loves watching the trolls get mad that they can't call other people names

It has unironically made the experience more pleasant.

[warped bramble]

Gg ez

That's all I ever type

[hybrid totem]

why not just "gg"

[safe bramble]

i love gobsmacking a jet sweat in an apache just for him to immediately lock the cope tank and 1shot me lmao

great balance

[quiet shell]

Can we get a "Thank the medic" xp event for both the reviving medic and revivee if you use the thank you commarose within 5 seconds of getting revived

[left fern]

I agree

it’s supposed to be a globally inclusive and diverse community after all

[lunar finch]

real

[quiet shell]

Im serious. Give me 2 xp for having the courtesy of giving someonena thumbs up for reviving me

[acoustic seal]

make it so medics only get revive credit if the person stays alive for >5 seconds

or gets a kill

revive farmers cry about it

[glacial quarry]

1 hp revives shouldnt count towards revive score

[royal swan]

What's with this negativity on revive XP events, what, don't like dying after getting revived

[broken horizon]

most of the times my defib is bugged out

[royal swan]

Only good statement I got, I literally couldn't think of another reason to hate revivers for doing their job

[acoustic seal]

if i could cancel my own revive it wouldn't be a problem, but alas reddit told people that revive score is the only thing that matters so they stand on top of grenades to get that +10

[glacial quarry]

yeah i had ppl revive me in the open in front of tanks or like 3 ppl

they literally suicide into the open just to get that revive

[royal swan]

The hell you die in a spot like that

[glacial quarry]

not even a smoke or anything just rush out to the same spot i got gunned down a second ago

[royal swan]

Ignore the fact they went to reveive you there, why the fuck are you in such a terrible spot

[glacial quarry]

peek out, explosion, corpse flies out

u know corpses can get launched far right

[acoustic seal]

if it was a good spot i wouldn't have died lol

aside from the fact that "good spots" are extremely few and far between

[glacial quarry]

plus i rush a lot

[royal swan]

Did they at least smoke

[glacial quarry]

no lol

they just get the +10

[royal swan]

You just got dumb medics

[glacial quarry]

they happy

[royal swan]

Only reason

[glacial quarry]

they dont care about themselves or me surviving they just want +10

its a 1 hp revive too

they just rush out with defib

1 hp rev me before i can even finish holding space

and we both die

[royal swan]

Yep dumb fucking medics

[acoustic seal]

well yeah, the goal is to punish people who play dumb and achieve nothing

[glacial quarry]

instead some of them are getting rewarded

dont get me wrong there are plenty of good medics

whose 50+ res in a round actually are mostly legit

but some ppl just see that +10

[royal swan]

I found the charge then revive to be ineffective

It can be easily stolen

[glacial quarry]

reminds me of the idiots who just 20 rev in bf4 lockers at a chokepoint

[royal swan]

By the old revive mechanic still in the game

[glacial quarry]

use the old mechanic lol

[royal swan]

I do alot

[glacial quarry]

i dont see the issue with using it

[royal swan]

To steal and protect my revives

Smoke is a no brainer

[glacial quarry]

yeah they even have an achievemrnt or some reward thing for ressing in smoke

in case people arent bright enough to figure it out

[royal swan]

Those who don't use smoke have the brain equivalent of a bird

[midnight mesa]

What gadget do y’all run when playing medic

[royal swan]

Ammo crate

[acoustic seal]

set and forget smoke launcher

[midnight mesa]

Real

[upbeat sand]

Amo as falk
Health with Irish and angel

[midnight mesa]

I used to INE a smoke launcher

[upbeat sand]

Sometimes smoke grenade launcher

[royal swan]

If you want full on revive spam, the ammo box is for actual good medics or those who want ammo

[midnight mesa]

Until I realized an ammo crate is a lot more beneficial to everyone

Even just by recharging regular smokes

[glacial quarry]

ammo crate falck with bsv-m is the best

[royal swan]

Falck, smoke nades, ammo box

[acoustic seal]

there are like 1 or 2 other people on my team worth resupplying and they're usually capable enough to find their own ammo packs at that point

[upbeat sand]

Uh
Why is my paik doing Blasco pose

[royal swan]

If you are in dire need of ammo, go find a angel

There is always one in a match

[upbeat sand]

Fuck best of makay bundle

Where is my best of dozer bundle

[royal swan]

Just don't stay still next to them for too long

If given the chance they will kill you with the loadout crate

They find joy in doing it

[acoustic seal]

oh yeah i crate snipers at the red line on conquest

pretty much the only use for angel now that he can't carry recoilless

[warm stirrup]

Hosting a 128 breakthrough with 1942 settings if anyone's interested

No traversal sprint,squad revive or strafe sprinting

[royal swan]

Sometimes when I play angel the crate will accidentally kill someone

Good laugh out of it

Best thing is that they can't be revived

So you just made their kd worse

[idle lion]

why tf is the top of the fucking building at last sector of Flashpoint part of the point?

literal garbage

you cant win against the attacker on last point because the hills are 100% occupied by the enemy and within moments youll get obliterated by snipers and vehicles camping on the hills if you try to hold the roof

if you dont hold the roof theyll take it and they will win no problem

[acoustic seal]

good question

the map designer is obsessed with making terrain bowls so it's probably intentional

[idle lion]

obsessed with making shit maps*

[royal swan]

I wonder what happens when we make the roof not part of the point? Oh they are hard camping again, fucking c2 kaleidoscope all over again

[idle lion]

then make the roof destructible

[glacial quarry]

no budget

[idle lion]

you really dont need to make it actually real time destructible, you can just make it a pre made animation

[royal swan]

Oops sorry we new devs don't have the experience, as NO ONE ELSE USES THE FUCKING OUTDATED FROSTBITE ENGINE

[acoustic seal]

speaking of, the "windows" on the reclaimed C sector buildings should ABSOLUTELY NOT be destructible

[royal swan]

Talking bt or cq

[acoustic seal]

yes

[royal swan]

That doesn't help 💀

[acoustic seal]

the middle buildings

the not-zavod middle buildings

[royal swan]

The only buildings that contain windows is the second sector for bt

The one with the AA cannon on the roof

[arctic grove]

Bruh second week of the game pass and I’m 67 lvl this shit boring 😭

[royal swan]

Yep

[next onyx]

Burnout at an all time high.

[royal swan]

Welcome to the age of modern triple a games

[next onyx]

With nothing done to compensate for the burnout.

I think I'm 57.

I haven't properly touched the game since I got my weapons to tier 1.

[arctic grove]

Week 3 I’ll hit 100

And then 3 weeks of mastering red badge

[royal swan]

Maybe you guys should play something else for a bit

[idle lion]

nice hard stuck on defender side in bt

this is fucking ridicilous

[royal swan]

Keep it diverse, don't be maining one game all week

Keeps the engagement and entertainment fresh longer

[upbeat sand]

Play frostpunk

[idle lion]

@upbeat sand hop in squad

[next onyx]

If the game had persistent player servers for AoW I would imagine it being less of a pain to play.

Not even imagine.

[royal swan]

You need some Deep rock galactic

[next onyx]

I literally experienced it back on Rush XL.

I've played it. It's alright.

I'm looking at getting a new game soon. Pretty cheap.

[acoustic seal]

me when i "keep it diverse" (log into 3 different games for daily/weekly engagement farm chores)

[royal swan]

Escape the backrooms is getting an update tomorrow, it's that inde game made by that single YouTube developer fancy

[next onyx]

They can force diversity by adding an actual map rotation.

Instead of forcing us to re-search and play the same map five times in a fucking row outside of our control.

[royal swan]

I recommend like 4-5 different games a week

And make sure it doesn't take the entire day

Because outside task is good for mental health

[blazing terrace]

Morning everyone

[royal swan]

It's 12 midnight, you get your morning in 8 hours

[blazing terrace]

I usually play about 4 hours on 3 different games with a break in between after work

So from about 7-11 is when I play games

Gives me about 8 hours of sleep

[royal swan]

Any day I got free time

[onyx mica]

i will sleep when i can't stay awake anymore

[royal swan]

Which will come tomorrow as my last day of spring quarter

For college

I'm not doing summer quarter I got vacation

[blazing terrace]

I got exams next week so stress

[royal swan]

College exams are as easy as highschool test

Or easier

[blazing terrace]

Good thing is every exam day is a half day

So go at 9am leave at 11:30

Then rest of the day off

[royal swan]

Half day? Are you in High school or college

[onyx mica]

need to finish my t1 badge before this >>

[blazing terrace]

High school specially year 11

So it’s confusing some schools like mine highschool is year 7-10

College is 11-12

The uni

[regal lantern]

can I progress the bp mission in solo?

[royal swan]

Kinda mandatory for college students to say to highschool students but everything they tell you about how harsh college experience is, it's a lie

[blazing terrace]

I know

Year 11 is easy

Dead ass my wood work class is basically just 2 free periods

But you still do work but it’s fun
