battlefield-2042

[fiery shoal]

thats not how that works

[wide shore]

The rendezook being a thing proves it’s sandbox nature

[hexed mango]

i mean in battlefield it is
you can be an all out sweat and get like 100 kills
or play it action to action and just do what you do

[fiery shoal]

i can play minecraft competitively, doesnt make it a competitive game...

[hexed mango]

no

but its a game

its not the game that makes it competitive or not, its the players

[obsidian elk]

Anyone in open ground should be vulnerable to any kind of aircraft.

The problem is the fire rate, reload rate, and health of the aircraft. Reduce all three of these and Hind/Condor will be balanced in my opinion.

[fiery shoal]

not how that works

[hexed mango]

i mean it is
the entire idea of it being competitive is that players are competing.

[wide shore]

I know from experience that people take Minecraft PVP very seriously

[hexed mango]

yeah sure R6 might be a more competitive game, due to how it works, but you can still play it as a normal casual game if you're not playing ranked.

[fiery shoal]

yes if you want to use the absolutely most basic and literal definition of competition ANYTHING that pits your vs other is "competitive"

[hexed mango]

no

[arctic grove]

minecraft isn't a competitive shooter with two enemy teams attacking each other being more than 50% of the average gameplay you know

[fiery shoal]

im working under the assumption we arent being extremely pedantic

[quasi dawn]

anyone get the bug where they always spawn with a gadget instead of weapon??

[hexed mango]

im just saying that a game can be both.
because its the people that are playing it that are making it a competitive or a casual experience.

[wide shore]

For some players it is.

[fiery shoal]

and im saying that a large scale sandbox shooter without any lick of a competitive features like sbmm or a ranked mode is inherently casual...

this isnt a hard concept

[hexed mango]

because like poetic said, Minecraft can be a casual game
but people who play Minecraft for PvP are very competitive.

it all depends on the mindset you are playing with.

I can, again, play battlefield competitively, sweat and rack up a lot of kills
or i can play it casually, and mess around and have a fun time.

[fiery shoal]

this is honestly the first time ive been questioned on calling bf a casual franchise

[arctic grove]

let's take a look at what, as example, wikipedia says about what a casual game is
"A casual game is a video game targeted at a mass market audience, as opposed to a hardcore game, which is targeted at hobbyist gamers. Casual games may exhibit any type of gameplay and genre. They generally involve simpler rules, shorter sessions, and require less learned skill."
also from some other source:
""Casual Games” refers to a type of video game that doesn't require a major time investment to play, win, and enjoy."
that sort of, but doesn't really fully apply to an FPS multiplayer competitive game main gamemode of which is basically players competing by skill, because without skill it's unlikely that you'd win the game or would enjoy dying repeatedly

i dont think this guy thinks its a casual game

[fiery shoal]

he can 100% consider it a casual game but still try hard.. youre severely missing the point here

[hexed mango]

i mean try-harding is literally trying to compete with others....

[fiery shoal]

hell i personally am a try hard and consider it a casual game

[silk surge]

https://twitter.com/BFBulletin/status/1541514811078500353?t=LhpbxH6vgdoZnDvtruskKg&s=19 Turns out the next Battlefield will have singleplayer.

[fiery shoal]

how you want to personally play a casual game doesnt make that casual game suddenly a competitive game by gaming definitions...

[hexed mango]

probably BF Mobile which they have 100000000 jobs for rn

[wide shore]

BF is very casual in the sense that it’s not very hard to get into. There’s very little barriers in the way of picking it up and playing and understanding it. There’s very little in terms of competitive features like ranked play. BF e sports are very much not the main focus at all. But you can still play it competitively cause it is a competition. But it’s a sandbox, so you can also just play how you want if you don’t care.

[pine roost]

I personally play it competitively

[arctic grove]

name a few examples of competitive games though, i wonder which games count as competitive for you if a multiplayer FPS with level system, kd ratio and the gameplay being mostly killing doesn't

[fiery shoal]

me too, still not a competitive fps

[silk surge]

BF Mobile is developed by a completely different studio, and am pretty sure it won't have a singleplayer.

[wide shore]

You’re both right, but you’re just presenting it weird to each other.

[wise zodiac]

Halo.

CoD.

Gears

[wide shore]

Overwatch

[wise zodiac]

Overwatch

APEX

[pine roost]

In the sense that I learn proper positioning, map reading and delve deep into systems and mechanics. Where in my eyes a full casual player won’t get into that much detail

[wide shore]

CSGO, Valorant

[wise zodiac]

I can continue.

[silk surge]

Oldschool Runescape

[arctic grove]

but why doesn't battlefield count as that if gameplay-wise it's really similar, all of those are mostly multiplayer shooters

[fiery shoal]

levels have absolutely nothing to do with it being a competitive game.. hell are there even levels in csgo? what is this logic.. showing your kd or chasing kd isnt competitive either...i cant even

[wise zodiac]

Because BF doesn't have a comp league.

Those games do.

[pine roost]

But imo, I don’t think you can really label a game as competetive or casual. Sure valorant can be considered competetive, but you can still play casually without a care in the world

[wise zodiac]

And I mean an actual "comp league", not these stand-up leagues.

[pine roost]

You can play csgo and go full meme mode and mess around, that’s casual. Whereas competetive would be learning, analysing and thinking harder about how to play

[silk surge]

I mean, Battlefield could be played competetively in the sense that there is a leaderboard that some people try to actively climb.

[arctic grove]

ok levels were a bit off the topic but kd is pretty much about competitiveness in case of a multiplayer game, because it shows how good you are in comparison to someone else as example

[pine roost]

That’s my take on it at least

[fiery shoal]

because it is a large scale sandbox shooter where getting an op weapon is largely based on luck (as well as winning is based on luck considering you are one person out of a shit load), not to mention the lack of traditional competitive fps features like sbmm or a ranked scenario...

[wide shore]

Because stuff like team comp, communication, learning angles, meta-shifting. Shit like that isn’t the main focus in BF games. It will absolutely make you play better. But that’s not what the game tries to promote.

[fiery shoal]

you 100% can with the intention of the devs and the features included to the game. having sbmm and a ranked mode are pretty clear signs its a competitive title

[wide shore]

BF in my eyes, is just the devs going “here’s a big map, let’s throw vehicles and infantry at eachother and just let them do whatever”

[fiery shoal]

not true at all honestly...

[wide shore]

But that is 100% not to say that there aren’t players who play the game very seriously and competitively. I am one of them. Lol. But still not as bad as some people

[fiery shoal]

especially in bf where kdr can be abused by getting in a vehicle vs medic reviving everyone

[arctic grove]

Why though? I'd imagine the only case when it wouldn't be true if you just got lucky with getting some newbie enemies and because of that raising KD but that's it

[fiery shoal]

in a competitive title like csgo pros kdr are somewhere around 1.2 on the high end, thats because they are playing vs other pros. now a gold player wrecking shit in silver lobbies walking out with a 2 kdr isnt better than a pro

[wide shore]

BF1 incursions was a competitive game.

[fiery shoal]

and even through all that, no one cares about the dude with a 1.3 kdr at a pro level if he didnt win the match, in a comp game the only goal is winning, not your kdr

[hexed mango]

idk then cause on twitter Dice also said they were going to focus on 2042
and still, EA's page does have a lot of jobs for BF Mobile... so idk

[fiery shoal]

i thought i was pass explaining how bf is a casual title and how kdr doesnt have a direct correlation to skill...

[pine roost]

My goal in bf matches is to do the best I can to win the match. A low death count indicates to me that I’m making the right decisions, but that’s about it

[fiery shoal]

you cant really draw any conclusions on a low death count or a kdr...

especially in a bf title with so many factors

you could have edge of sniper dude in bfv that has a kdr of 3 because he goes 6-2 on average every match, that doesnt make him better than teh 1.5 kdr reviving manic medic that PTFO

[arctic grove]

isn't winning the goal in BF too though, literally in every gamemode? Also, i may be wrong but doesn't CSGO also have teams which you used as an argument about why BF isn't a competitive game because of the rest of people in your team being completely random?

[pine roost]

Well I always tell myself that there is always a reason why I died, so if I start racking up deaths and I notice it then I realise I need to work on some things

[arctic grove]

you can, but only if you combine it with making conclusions on amount of kills really

[hexed mango]

https://tenor.com/view/argument-arguments-wall-gif-24157549

[fiery shoal]

winning should be the end goal, but id argue in bf most people dont really play in a way they think will contribute to them winning as much as possible. theres so many people that go into bf to just farm kd, try different shit, or just shoot people for fun. i never mentioned random people being for or against a game being competitive...

[full vine]

Server die

[hexed mango]

U die

[fiery shoal]

yea dont ever stop doing that, still doesnt change that a low death count doesnt have any sort of direct correlation to anything else

[arctic grove]

about random people:

(as well as winning is based on luck considering you are one person out of a shit load)
phrased differently but a similar thing, random people being most of your team indeed means that winning doesnt' fully depend on the player that plays, but also on others

also, eh, idk, to me it seems that most of the community in BF seems to care at least a bit about balance, competitiveness, fairness of the game and similar stuff

[fiery shoal]

to clarify, a mp fps is inherently competitive by strictest definition, but within the realm of mp fps games there are competitive and casual games out there, bf squarely falls into casual

[pine roost]

I agree that someone could definetely have a high ratio simply because they never make any kind of risky plays, so I don’t determine someone else’s skill by their kdr, I purely judge based on gameplay. But I still pay attention to my own deaths to at least give me an idea as to how I’m doing

[dapper river]

The other night someone was going 2-13 talking shit as medic and I was all "bro you're 2-13" and he was all "im playing falk" and had most revives in the game. meanwhile I had over 30 kills, 10 deaths, and only 4 less revives than him.

the moral of the story being "focusing on revives is not an excuse for being a bad player with an abysmal kd"

[verbal forge]

How many levels do the battle pass weekly challenges gonna give you ?

In total

[pale grail]

I think like 8

[arctic grove]

Good question, for me personally it’s enough to get me around 4 tiers up

[pale grail]

I do every challenge and I go up like 7-8 tiers

[verbal forge]

Nah but I mean like all the 12 weeks

[pale grail]

Ohhh

[arctic grove]

Oh in that case I’m not sure

[pale grail]

Enough to finish the battle pass

[arctic grove]

it's mostly about kd and kills though, those two values together can give a good perspective on how good a specific person is honestly in the game

[fiery shoal]

the main point in my comment is "one person out of a shit load", meaning that your influence on a match is miniscule and based on luck. yes you can get unlucky in a title like csgo but by large if you put in enough games you will get to the ranking/elo you deserve. bf outright lacks ranking/elo, doesnt have sbmm, and it doesnt matter because of the nature of the game.

yes you should care about balance in any fps game, but people crying for the utmost balance in bf are just misguided considering you can get into a vehicle at random and influence a game 5x more than if you randomly didnt get into a vehicle

[arctic grove]

Well you probably won’t have enough to finish the entire battle pass off the challenges alone. I’m sure it’s designed to help you finish but the best thing you can do is just play the game

[fiery shoal]

this is only a good gauge on a game like bf where theres no sbmm, even then its skewed with things like vehicles

[pine roost]

I don’t think you can look at kd solely by itself and determine how someone plays. Yes it’s a suggestion but I’d need actual gameplay proof to be able to see if they have the decisionmaking and mechanical skill to back that up. As Nyphon mentioned, someone could play as a prone mmg or long distance sniper and do well kd wise but there’s no real display of skill in their gameplay

[verbal forge]

I’m at 50 I wanted to know if I can just play for the weekly challenges and I’ll be set

[tranquil turtle]

Or Sundance k30

[fiery shoal]

if there was a singular stat that was a good indication of skill in bf its SPM imo

[tranquil turtle]

Shots per minute?

[fiery shoal]

ideally win % should be the singular stat that means something, but thats just not the case in a bf title

[fiery shoal]

score per minute

[tranquil turtle]

Oh yes

[fiery shoal]

its literally a conglomerate of everything you do in game with only a few ways to abuse that stat and not actively help the team to win

[arctic grove]

snipers usually get small amount of skills though, even if high kd

[tranquil turtle]

Win % doesn't mean jack shit considering you can be match made into a breakthrough game with 7 tickets on the attacking team

[fiery shoal]

i mean, skill and effort to win wise, i know im one of the better players in this game, and my win % is barely above average...

[tranquil turtle]

Can you see spm in game or do you need a third party stat tracker?

[fiery shoal]

third party

[tranquil turtle]

Damn

[arctic grove]

i wouldn't really agree with that because scores aren't always given that fairly, you get like twice the amount of xp for just killing enemies around an objective in conquest in comparison to killing them in some other place, and that's pretty weird (talking about BFV rn)

[fiery shoal]

i dont even think 2042 has a SPM stat

[tranquil turtle]

Because the score system is fucked

[fiery shoal]

it makes perfect sense to reward more points for killing someone in a objective that directly correlates with winning the game though...

[arctic grove]

win percent doesn't mean that much because a lot of people who care about it just leave from the game when their team has 10-20 lives left lol

[arctic grove]

it's also important to stop someone on their way to the objective as example though, or just kill enemies in general because that also reduces enemy team's amount of lives

shouldn't affect the given score so much that killing enemies at objectives is literally x2 exp imo

[pine roost]

Score system, what’s that?

[fiery shoal]

sadly there would be no way to code rewards for "stopping someone from going to objective" because that would be impossible

[tranquil turtle]

Killing a lone soldier trying to solo cap an objective has more weight than killing a lone soldier running around aimlessly

[arctic grove]

so the general solution would be to just not give x2 exp for kills at objectives lol, give a lower amount, or raise general amount of exp for kills, but anyway, there's also stuff like reviving giving literally the xp that is given for killing an enemy, while reviving doesn't take much skill honestly

[fiery shoal]

even if someone was going to an objective on purpose it still has less weight than someone already in the objective, and how do you code in a players intentions?

[fiery shoal]

i mean.. at this point is sounds like we agree it should give more points, just maybe not 2x points, which sure ill agree with, maybe 1.5x, idk. doesnt really matter imo

[elder halo]

hows bf 2042 doing right now i havent played it in like 6 months

[arctic grove]

also, what would you consider a high score per minute as example anyway? In BFV as example

[arctic grove]

well yeah, it should give more points, just not as much, that's about it

[fiery shoal]

pretty good as long as your original complaints wasnt things like empty maps and specialists, because those still exist

[elder halo]

is the new map good?

[fiery shoal]

uhhhh, i mean by communities average i would say 400+ is starting to get "good". personally i think any decent player that optimizes their effort in the game can easily get above 500 though

[fiery shoal]

ive not heard anyone say they dont like it, its probably my 3rd or 4th favorite map

[elder halo]

alr

[arctic grove]

i disagree, i've had a ton of games in the past when i've had like even almost 600 score per minute while having only about five kills as example

score doesn't show that much because of how easy it is to raise it even without really killing anyone

well, maybe not a ton but many honestly

[fiery shoal]

you know 600 spm in bfv is like top 5%?

and you kind of proved my point of being able to get a good spm by just being decent...

[pine roost]

In a game like battlefield though, killing (although still important), isn’t everything

[arctic grove]

didn't know, also idk if that counts as being decent honestly, it's usually just that capping flags gives a ton of exp

[fiery shoal]

still mad at firestorm influencing stats, damn mode tanked my SPM

[fiery shoal]

actually, 600 spm is at least top 2%

"decent" is not a high bar either, its like... slightly above average (aka above top 50%)

[thorn sky]

anyone on pc that literally can't play the game anymore

every lobby i join is completely empty

[hexed mango]

my % assists keeps getting closer to TOP 1%

[arctic grove]

[hexed mango]

that sounds worse

just by how you said it

[edgy oriole]

Morbius hasnt even killed a man with a med crate.

[fiery shoal]

i dont have a way of sugar coating things, but average isnt anything to be disappointed in

[fiery shoal]

my total stats suck, granted i only have 61 hours of game time

[hexed mango]

i honestly dont know what to do to get better tho

[edgy oriole]

my battlefield tracker has 122 views for some reason

[hexed mango]

It may not be based on mares leg but it is based

[mental delta]

[hexed mango]

idk i kinda like the PBX ngl

[fiery shoal]

easy to use but pretty underwhelming

put an hour into any other smg and i bet youd get better results

[hexed mango]

ive T1'd ever other cept MP9, which im T2 on

[fiery shoal]

what does your kpm/dmg per min say for your weapons?

at least for me that statement held true

[hexed mango]

idk

im only T3 with PBX rn

[fiery shoal]

mp9 and k30 destroy my pbx kpm

[hexed mango]

man i suck at this game

[edgy oriole]

[fiery shoal]

damn my statement didnt hold true for you

[hexed mango]

guess ill just play K30

[mental delta]

K30 : 1725 ?

I need an explanation lol

[hexed mango]

why do you need an explanation

[fiery shoal]

what weapon do you main?

[hexed mango]

idk i bounce around

[fiery shoal]

ah

[hexed mango]

https://battlefieldtracker.com/bf2042/profile/origin/Sploric/overview

[fiery shoal]

yea you do jump around on weapons a bit

[edgy oriole]

Im also still in the jump around stage.

[fiery shoal]

i usually play 1 until i t1 it

i wont play a weapon i dont like though

[hexed mango]

i usually dont love a alot of the DMRs although i did T1 the BSV

[edgy oriole]

After i finish t1'ing assault rifles ill prolly go back to pp. its just to easy to kill people with it to not use it.

[mental delta]

What's your max kills with a single weapon ?

[fiery shoal]

yea see if i posted my weapon progress theres like 5 reds and then a couple of golds and untouched everything else

[hexed mango]

probably that one, k30
idk

[mental delta]

[hexed mango]

i played the DXR for a long time

and GVT

[arctic grove]

damn

server issues

[fiery shoal]

i guess i could just show the absolute drop off of weapons kills

[hexed mango]

lol

guess ill go back to PP, i havent played it in a while

[mental delta]

Lmao you really like PDW

[fiery shoal]

ive always favored cqc weapons (other than shotguns)

[hexed mango]

agree

[fiery shoal]

just learn to control the VREC and its a monster

[hexed mango]

gonna rock this

[edgy oriole]

you wanna set sail or 2042

[mental delta]

Understandable, I prefer assault rifles but I don't like most of them in 2042

Except AK-24 but it's pretty hard to use now

[hexed mango]

ill sail

[hexed mango]

what attachments do you use

[hexed mango]

ok now get on raft and start the world

[edgy oriole]

That clip crazy tho. miss all my shots but got a headshot

[mental delta]

1. Why the game has those colors
2. Why is the kill so laggy and the game so horrible to see
3. What does that weirdo say in the background ?

[hexed mango]

1. he set those colors
2. yes
3. im talking about baseball, and i was probably on crack or smth idk

[edgy oriole]

[fiery shoal]

they literally only added more VREC

pull down more and its the same, which means its damn good

[arctic grove]

Anyone still playing this game bruh? ☠️

[fiery shoal]

yes

likely some 15k people

[scenic tartan]

This bf3 vs 2042 conquest mode is awesome

I wonder if they are testing the waters for reducing or removing vehicles auto health Regen

[scenic tartan]

I am playing it right now full matches "bruh"

[arctic grove]

I wish the launch of this game wasn’t so disappointing for me man

I loved the game too it was just too buggy

How is it in 2022 though

Or now I should say

[plucky pebble]

try it yourself xD

[arctic grove]

I should

I ain’t spend 100 bucks for nun

What’s the fastest way to level up?

My normal gameplay gets me about 18k or a little more per match

But I’m not the best so wondering if there’s a better way

[hidden sand]

Really just playing the game and doing weeklies

If you're on last gen that's probably about the maximum you'll get

It's much easier to get 30,000-40,000 with 128 players

[small ember]

Oof

[small ember]

Weeklies?

There’s weekly missions?

Ye

[small ember]

Never noticed

What’s the best way to do last weeks multikill with explosives challenge

Kinda struggling with it

[wide shore]

Get into the gunner seat of a hind/condor

Or use a stinger and destroy helicopters I guess

[paper cliff]

Destroying choppers count???

[half ginkgo]

Lfg a group to play on ps5

[wide shore]

Yes.

You are destroying them with an explosive. As long as there’s 3 people in it at least, you’re good

[paper cliff]

Bruh I had a 50m cannon inside the hind but of course the pilot was partnered with the gunner so I got no angles

[paper cliff]

You on the game? Down to party in a heli or something

[wide shore]

I ain’t atm. I’m playing fall guys with some friends

[arctic grove]

Exposure breakthrough…The hallway with stairs from B2 to B1. Just chuck grenades enough and you’ll get Multis.

[paper cliff]

Ight got it

@arctic grove I been trying

[arctic grove]

Or just be a Chad and…Don’t spam nades for the challenge at all

[wide shore]

I just shot down a hind with LiS to get it

[paper cliff]

I camped there for like 4 minutes with nades and c5

[arctic grove]

Impossible unless the pilot is wildly stupid.

[paper cliff]

Yeah hinds are different

[arctic grove]

Hell all the condors I fight play like…Cats we can say.

Half the time I see them like tiny specs in the air after they hear a Garand ping from the past.

Condor pilots so scared of everything for what?

[paper cliff]

Do c5 drones work I never did it but I might have to resort

[arctic grove]

Hinds may be annoying but their pilots have a pair of two down there.

[arctic grove]

I don’t think it’s be effective in all honesty, unless you have a pal.

[wide shore]

Yes. But I am also good with Lis

[arctic grove]

I’m not.

Her missile feels clunky.

Against a pilot with any awareness it’s useless.

Or a hind…

Those things are so damn FAST!

[edgy oriole]

sundance with c5. flank

Im also good with lis 🙂

[hexed mango]

bro why does every clip include me

i dont even know what im saying

[paper cliff]

Bruh idk why I’m struggling so much with this lmao

[hexed mango]

just camp with c5 on exposure breakthrough, B sector

[paper cliff]

Exactly what I’m doing

I camped flank objectives stairs everything

I used the 50m too

I refuse to do c5 drone tho

[dapper river]

Man I hope there's no weekly mission for "smoke assists." How do I proc them? What are they? Why were they added? Who has to be in the smoke for the assist to count? Are they truly worth 40 XP? The world may never know.

[paper cliff]

I know no one cares but I did the multikill on last objective with Sundance nades

Finally

[next onyx]

Still pretty good though!

[paper cliff]

Thanks for everyone who messaged tips lmao it took a while

[scenic tartan]

This bf3 vs bf2042 mode in portal is weird

It feels like the tv missile is nerfed in damage

[hexed mango]

its literally just someone getting a kill while inside of smoke you deployed.

they were added pre-smoke launcher to make smoke more useful
any teammate can be in the smoke to count
you also get points for teammates healed in your smoke and points for revives in your smoke

[quiet shell]

I'm gonna say it, Sundance kills the fun of 2042. This isn't as exaggeration, when 2042 is at it's most fun it all gets ruined by a Sundance that's flown behind your position and drops her TWO scatter grenades on you and your friends.

[dapper river]

just turn around lmao

[quiet shell]

On many maps her scatter grenades make certain parts of the map UNPLAYABLE

[dapper river]

That is why Irish exists

[quiet shell]

the enemy is infront of me, I shouldn't have to worry about whats behind me at random

[quiet shell]

Irish's anti-explosive device doesn't catch everything

I've seen it in game if there's more than 10 grenades chucked at the device, the 11th is not going to get caught

and when that 11th happens to be sundances scatter grenade, it all goes to shit

[bitter skiff]

Are there still tornados? I have been playing exposure for awhile

[hexed mango]

there’s none on exposure other maps have them tho

[hexed mango]

skill issue

[scenic tartan]

if you don't have a few irish on your team for exposure breakthrough idk what you're doing

[hexed mango]

[bitter skiff]

Imagine the chaos of having tornadoes on Exposure? I vote "LMAO"

[hexed mango]

i concur, i vote "LMAO"

[bitter skiff]

I would play

[hexed mango]

or like an earthquake or landslide event

[bitter skiff]

OMG

diabolical

[next onyx]

They need Irish's APS to block C5.

It's too good at the moment.

Nvm the throwing distance.

[hexed mango]

its a good counter for irish tho, and its not really a projectile

range, sure

[next onyx]

It's too easy to use.

[bitter skiff]

APS?

[next onyx]

That's my issue.

[hexed mango]

trophy system

[bitter skiff]

TY

[hexed mango]

it stands for active protection system
or armor protection system

[bitter skiff]

I have to check that out

[obsidian elk]

Ya'll need to quit posting cringe in gen chat

[scenic tartan]

I dont think so, its a good counter to it and its not very long range. Its just effective in that tunnel between the two sectors inside the mountain

and I say this as an irish main

i have about 2000 aps hits trying for the tier 1 a long time now

plus when it gets destroyed just put another one up in 10 seconds

[obsidian elk]

Can someone explain "battle pass points"

In regards to the battle pass badge

Is it just how many pips you have along the track?

Does this mean pip number 1,150 is the final item?

[hexed mango]

tf is a pip

you get points for completing the weekly missions and the infinite XP mission
10 points for a BP tier, points also go to the badge

[obsidian elk]

A pip is the little circular icon that you need to collect 10 of in order to gain an item

[hexed mango]

these are the point values for the missions

[obsidian elk]

"Point" can be another term for it, although that's not referring to the actual imagery (small round circle)

[hexed mango]

those are points, as the game defines them

[obsidian elk]

Ohh

So the badge points are the same exact points as the points you need to progress the pass itself

[hexed mango]

assuming you mean these right?

[obsidian elk]

I remember talking about this

Yes, those are pips

[hexed mango]

yeah those are just the points you get lol

[obsidian elk]

Okay

[hexed mango]

same as this

i am still pissed that this doesnt work correctly tho

im on tier 71, which is 710 points, plus the 4 out of the 10 needed for the next tier, that's 714 points
yet the badge says 673
:(

and ive never bought tiers either

anyways i just got a 9 KD with the pp

[obsidian elk]

The bizon?

[hexed mango]

no the pp in my ass

[obsidian elk]

[hexed mango]

what other PP would i be referring to?

[hidden sand]

It needs a bigger delay between throws and a shorter distance 100%

[next onyx]

I don't mind the delay.

But I dislike the range at the moment.

[scenic tartan]

Show me your pips

[obsidian elk]

Delete Hazard Zone

[grizzled whale]

https://tenor.com/view/bigdil-pip-pip-lagaf-vincent-lagaf-le-bigdil-gif-24819551

[hexed mango]

no

[obsidian elk]

It's more like Cringe Zone tbh

[hexed mango]

honestly the main thing is that the game needs to find a way to make medics more medic

cause like i swear (not all) but some medics are there purely for selfish reasons, and it hurts cause i dont get revived

[obsidian elk]

Falck players almost always revive

It's the Angel players that don't care in my experience

[hexed mango]

yeah but angel doesnt

angel is a shitty medic generally

which is sad

[obsidian elk]

Because they're only doing it for free ammo

No, he's an amazingly strong support

people just play him for free ammo for themselves

[next onyx]

Angel was never balanced well.

With armour he's busted and without armour he's fucking useless.

[obsidian elk]

Angel is not useless

[next onyx]

He has a small niche in being able to run ammo pouches and his desired gadget.

But that's really about it.

[hexed mango]

he was still useless as a medic before because he wouldnt revive

[next onyx]

It cannot regenerate gadget ammo and if you want to, You have a bit of a clunky loadout crate which cannot be used inside of buildings.

[scenic tartan]

If the maps are to have more indoor areas and they should, his ammo crate will be even less useful

[next onyx]

Angel is literally inferior to a Falck running an ammo crate of her own.

That's how bad angel is.

[hidden sand]

Leveling Angel up now is pain

I've just kinda given up on it.

[next onyx]

I just throw down ammo boxes and it's how I got tier 1 for him.

[sweet barn]

did he have like 10 extra armor from start like irish?

[next onyx]

No.

[sweet barn]

what did he have

before nerf

[hidden sand]

He would throw ammo and armour plates to teammates

[slow terrace]

dEleTe HAzaRd zOnE

[obsidian elk]

I hate how every discussion of this game online always goes back to classes

The game plays well with specialists

I enjoy the freedom of picking a gadget while having a unique power

Is it just gamers hating change?

I suppose the awful launch of the game didn't do any favors towards this subject either

[sweet barn]

boomers wanting to play generic grunts

they cant stand their character having a personality

FOR PS4 Players: Do you guys know how to fix the screen cutoff in Bf 2042? Went to PS settings and did adjust screen but that didn't help. is anyone else on PS4 having this issue?

[hexed mango]

https://tenor.com/bOnH7.gif

honestly

infantry combat in this game
9.99/10

all it needs is to make the ranger better

even though thats not even infantry combat

well also make Med Pen and EMP grenade better

my view when im downed:
4 medics
none of which revived me

[copper fulcrum]

why is the "Free" text in the battlepass white?

[hexed mango]

just get used to the white box

not really a big deal

[upbeat sand]

Just wondering

[hexed mango]

idk they probably forgot

but i mean tbh i like the white box instead

kek

Oh mines like that but entirely white

Just straight yup white

No text

[hexed mango]

no i just took a picture as i went into the page

[upbeat sand]

As in maximum brightness

[hexed mango]

before

it looks like this, but when you go to the page you can see it for a sec, i just took a picture fast

[upbeat sand]

Wack

[hexed mango]

its white on white, but it starts faded and then the color fades in with the rest of the page

ok ima just say it. when i click B1 i mean spawn on B1
not spawn 300M away from B1.

[grizzled whale]

Same with spawning on C1 and getting spawned at D

[hexed mango]

also they shouldnt allow a Hind on sector B on BT exposure

[hexed mango]

its sad
cause i do remember in CQ spawning on the enemies objective [D] when i wanted C1

makes negative sense

this one isnt as annoying, but like seriously.
spawns me on our base spawn instead of remotely close to being on the objective.

you can no longer level guns in offline mode right?

[hexed mango]

you can, always have
only up to T3 tho

[eager kiln]

what does T3 mean again?

[digital portal]

Wait you can level guns offline?

[hexed mango]

yeah, always have been able to.

[eager kiln]

but you cant level mastery right?

[hexed mango]

mastery 12, tier 3...

its the progression

[hexed mango]

T3 is literally mastery

[eager kiln]

ah ok thanks

well then, I guess I cant progress the game right now 😄 cant find a single match in my region atm.

[hexed mango]

note where it says T3

[eager kiln]

yeah good to know, ty

[hexed mango]

thats also where all attachments are, T3 means you have all attachments (for guns)

4. 📮

Oh yeah BABY

[jaunty fjord]

Why didn't dice put the pictures of the squad members on the respawn interface in 2042, just like battlefield 4

And the sound effect of moving the cursor is not as good as in Battlefield 4

[celest oar]

Why instead of making damage inflicted on vehicle like we have 1000 damage challenge then make it 2K and replace the air vehicle destroy objective. They're not doing that so now we have people wait for other to do their work first and just straight out steal that kill

[jaunty fjord]

Cuz when dice design the week mission they didnt use their brain to think

They just do it for granted

Anything tested is dice's bullshit

[celest oar]

I thought It's only problem with Destiny 2, everyone complain about people try to compete with each other for personal challenge just because poorly quest design, but here same problem as well

[jaunty fjord]

Maybe they think that each of our players is a professional foot combat player, and their team itself has a professional fps player

What they think the pros can do, we can do it too

Just like the esports they did with Battlefield 5, it's just going to be a piece of shit in the end

[hexed mango]

the challenges are so easy wtf do you mean

[hexed mango]

like when you're being revived?

[jaunty fjord]

Destroying an air vehicle do you think everyone has that lucky bet?

[hexed mango]

its not a bet

play Rao, use AA Rocket launcher, get it done in 1 match.

[jaunty fjord]

You can see the screen of the squad members just like in the battlefields of the past dynasties

[arctic grove]

it would be better to simply return the "counts as kill" assist kills system

it was recently in BFV but they just removed it in BF2042 it seems

basically if you dealt around 50% or 75% damage to the enemy and someone else finished that enemy, you still get the kill

[jaunty fjord]

I remember that Battlefield 5 has the assist kill, how can it be gone in 2042

[arctic grove]

altho i don't remember if it applies to vehicles even in BFV, but that probably wouldn't be hard to make

[hexed mango]

it didnt

[celest oar]

that the inflicted damage on vehicle challenge, they done it good with the first one with 1000 damage on vehicle but then went bad with air vehicle destroying

[hexed mango]

you get vehicle assists in 2042 tho

[stoic creek]

I mean they needs balance out the game

AC 42 is so bad against the bsv

[hexed mango]

i think the only reason 2042 doesnt currently have assists count as kill is cause you can get 100+ xp for an assist
if you smoke, spot, disrupt, and damage, all of those give you extra points for assists individually

[jaunty fjord]

dice balances with feet and they said we released it only after testing, it's all bullshit

[stoic creek]

Ik

[hexed mango]

like if you smoke assist and damage assist, that's 90xp

adding a spot, that's 140

[stoic creek]

Like AC is bad

[hexed mango]

AC isnt bad

[stoic creek]

Heli movement 💀

@hexed mango man bsv is better

:(

[jaunty fjord]

I can't figure out why you can't use points as a substitute for experience

[hexed mango]

yeah but they are completely different guns

[arctic grove]

they seem to fear updating the game more often than once a month so it seems all nerfs will come at the same time around july ig

[stoic creek]

Ik

Kk

[hexed mango]

BSV is a marksman rifle, AC is an assault rifle.
AC is best used as a DMR tho
BSV is best used as an AR

[jaunty fjord]

A point system is clearly better than a purely empirical system

[stoic creek]

But the new heli movement is bad

I tried doing a barrel roll I crashed

[hexed mango]

once a month is pretty often for a AAA game if you ask me
plus, with the sizes of each update, you cant complain.

[jaunty fjord]

Weapons are messed up, so is expert and vehicle balance, now dice really can't do balance

[hexed mango]

expert?

[stoic creek]

Game had 100,000 ppl now it's somewhere around 1 to 20k

[hexed mango]

for like a week.

[stoic creek]

Yea

[arctic grove]

nothing stops them from making updates for nerfs when emergency comes though, considering that it's just some values change in case of weapons and similar stuff

[arctic grove]

rn it's around 6-10k

[hexed mango]

its been 10k+ for 3 weeks.
compared to the 6 months of 2k
its an improvement

Plus its only steam numbers.

[stoic creek]

Wow

[arctic grove]

ok nvm it's 4.5k currently

lmao

[hexed mango]

*steam

[stoic creek]

I mean the old conquest and breakthrough are dead

[hexed mango]

cause exposure is better

[stoic creek]

Ik

[shy bronze]

steam isnt a metric

stop trying to use it as one

[jaunty fjord]

I'm really pissed that it took them seven months of their first season to do something like this

[stoic creek]

Ik

[hexed mango]

ik but having a 5-10gb update instead of a bunch of <1gb updates is better

[hexed mango]

?

to do what

[stoic creek]

I mean one day we can't install the game

So we gotta by a tb card

[hexed mango]

tf is a tb card

and why cant you install the game

[stoic creek]

Terrorbytes

[arctic grove]

seems better to me to make one update with nerfing all the stuff community wants quickly, and then go for main development to not make players wait for nerfs more, but that's imo i guess

[stoic creek]

I'm just saying

[jaunty fjord]

But it's not enough, I hope 2042 can go back to the old battlefield but dice always makes me lose hope again and again

[hexed mango]

"Terrorbytes" LMAO

[stoic creek]

Like when the game gets up to 100 mb

[stoic creek]

Same

[hexed mango]

true but that isnt how development works

[fossil trench]

Has future store content been datamined?

[hexed mango]

its not just a switch

[hexed mango]

no cause that is handled on a server dumbo
its possible, but like probably not

[arctic grove]

i guess you meant terabytes lol

[tame cobalt]

Morbius gaming

[fossil trench]

Lol okay

[stoic creek]

The old leveling system was broken 10k brought you to the next lvl

[hexed mango]

tbh all these people are saying things but i think 9/10 of them are having strokes
i need to take a rest

[jaunty fjord]

And isn't there a big difference within dice? I'm worried that I won't be able to go back to the old battlefield.

[hexed mango]

i'd rather not go back

[stoic creek]

Depends bf 1

Is still going

I'm surprised it ain't dead yet

[hexed mango]

what do you mean by "still going"

cause its not getting updates

so thats not going

[stoic creek]

Bf 1 is alive

[hexed mango]

players, sure, but like updates, no

[stoic creek]

Yea

[arctic grove]

you can go even to bf3 at this point, without even mentioning bf4, bf1 and bf5

[stoic creek]

That's how they make their money

[arctic grove]

bf3 still has some players, even though it really isn't enough to play comfortably but oh well, bf4 exists at least

[celest oar]

ain't going back to old BF, because all those game are now rig with cheaters, especially BFV

[hexed mango]

the game is like $5, your statement is just wrong

[stoic creek]

Dam

Well I don't own it

[arctic grove]

the only thing in which playing on consoles gives advantage

[jaunty fjord]

But I want to get these experiences in 2042，even now is imppssible

[hexed mango]

cause you're poor

[celest oar]

I sometime redownload the game to try, but just give up in the first match everytime and uninstall the game again

[stoic creek]

@hexed mango no

I just haven't seen the games price

[hexed mango]

skill issue

[tame cobalt]

Exposure sets the new standard for CQ128 map design

Most CQ128 maps should offer this kind of "variety" of experiences within the map. That is literally the ONLY benefit of going from CQ64 to CQ128, so yeah, it should be in most of them (but there can still be maps that lean more in one direction like an infantry focused map)

[celest oar]

say whatever you want, but every match is with people on top scoreboard, kill everyone accross the map with machine gun isn't fun, not just one side, but both side, enemies and my team

[arctic grove]

i'm pretty sure it's 25$

[tame cobalt]

a

[hexed mango]

still cheap, i was just saying that its not much

[hexed mango]

still sounds like a skill issue mate

[tame cobalt]

gottem

[celest oar]

sure dood

[hexed mango]

reality cannot be denied

for those complaining about not having assists count as kills
[dice dev below]

[jaunty fjord]

The 128-player mode has become just a gimmick from the map design of the server, because dice can't balance the 128-player at all. In addition to exposing this map, they also deleted the 128-player breakthrough.

[stoic creek]

Dam

[tame cobalt]

was it never in the game

[hexed mango]

not yet™️

although i really love the assists system they added in 1.0

[tame cobalt]

[hexed mango]

makes smoking and rao super useful

[tame cobalt]

Smoke assist

[hexed mango]

yes

the most underrated ngl

[tame cobalt]

How do u get smoke assist?

[hexed mango]

have someone (a teammate) kill an enemy while in your smoke

[lucid goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-there-baby-yoda-mandolorian-hello-gif-20136589

[jaunty fjord]

I'd rather be looking at the scoreboard in terms of total points than the person's kills, assists and occupations

[tame cobalt]

So the enemy should he in the smoke

[chilly jacinth]

smokes are annoying af

[hexed mango]

https://tenor.com/bmJ4Q.gif

[stoic creek]

Sup

[chilly jacinth]

hate em

[tame cobalt]

good

That's why we use em

[stoic creek]

Ik

[lucid goblet]

Smokes are so good, especially with the new 3 nade launcher 👌

[arctic grove]

does simply nothing happen if an enemy throws a smoke and you kill someone in it?

[tame cobalt]

I pop smoke on peeps in the exposure command center, we capture it every time

[stoic creek]

Wait what

[tame cobalt]

Golden rule of smokes: pop them on the enemy

It's easier to shoot into smoke than out of it

[lucid goblet]

new gadget that got released with s1, it fires 3 mini smoke nades

[stoic creek]

Dear god

[tame cobalt]

And also lay down smoke when u wanna revive some peeps

[lucid goblet]

extra xp for doing so also

[tame cobalt]

Bfv medic style

[tame cobalt]

Wat

[hexed mango]

i mean its an enemy smoke

[jaunty fjord]

I wish they could put the welding torch in the initial equipment of the engineer

[lucid goblet]

if you rev in smoke you get an xp bonus, if i'm not mistaken

[tame cobalt]

Btw they seriously need to add XP bonus for following squad orders. It's insane that they claim to care about teamplay but this core feature is missing.

[hexed mango]

yes, and just healing

[jaunty fjord]

Welding torch overheating is a really stupid design

[tame cobalt]

They squad order XP bonus was insanely helpful for teamplay in BFV.

[arctic grove]

idk about bf2042 but it's also fun at least in BFV to ram into smoke and spam the melee attack button while enemies are inside of it, usually just free kills

[hexed mango]

there's squad order in 2042

[jaunty fjord]

Squad order is a joke, what's the use of this system without adding points?

[hexed mango]

if the leader pings an objective and you cap that obj, you get bonus xp

[tame cobalt]

But no xp bonus for completing it.

[lucid goblet]

agreed, will add this to my list of stuff to pass to the CM's 😄

[hexed mango]

uh no you do, atleast you get points towards your squad ribbon, which gives you xp

[tame cobalt]

Thank u 🙏

[hexed mango]

ill just dm sam rn

[chilly jacinth]

No, infinite repairs would be stupid design

[arctic grove]

isn't the overheating thing bypassed by just spam clicking it though, i've heard something like that

[hexed mango]

still overheats

@tame cobalt [regards to squad orders]

[tame cobalt]

Well I didn't even know that so they need to improve it so it's more obvious. It should give some chunky xp for battlepass and should be obvious that it happens. Teamplay will increase a lot

[lucid goblet]

Sam's such a good dude

[hexed mango]

sam is pog

[tame cobalt]

Let's goooooooo
They should've cropped out the mean part of my comment tho

[jaunty fjord]

I want the squad score system back, I want the v1 rocket to blow people up

[hexed mango]

some might say more pog than wilde or alex

[hexed mango]

sorry lol

[jaunty fjord]

but it cant come ture in 2042

[tame cobalt]

Yeah this also helped squadplay a ton. Although the rewards were kinda useless in conquest.

[tepid agate]

Damn I see the online players have gone down to 4-8k maybe season 1 is wearing off

[hexed mango]

its also the week, typically less players Monday-Thurs

but yeah it seems to be dying down a tad sadly

[lucid goblet]

me too, i do miss having the arty call-ins although having a 50mm hind/condor is pretty much the same

[tame cobalt]

IMO if they bring squad call in system back it should have different rewards for conquest and breakthrough.

Different call ins

[hexed mango]

maybe ranger could be a reward in that instead,
if they do that, they need to buff the ranger tho

[jaunty fjord]

Squad size cap should be increased accordingly instead of keeping PUBG's foursome all the time

[tepid agate]

I follow Jackfrags on YouTube and see he recently uploaded playing BF4, suprised at that.

[arctic grove]

well that's how it works with games, amount of people playing the game rises when updates come out and falls back after a month or even less

[stoic creek]

Yea

[tame cobalt]

They wanna keep it a number that goes evenly into 64 and 128. So they are looking at 8player squads as the next step, and that's probably too big.

[celest oar]

doesn't he always like that? upload BF4 or 3 gameplay when the newest BF is in downfall, same with BFV.

[hexed mango]

honestly
gotta be 100% honest

i dont really like BF4 as much after playing a lot of 2042
its just the guns mainly tho

[stoic creek]

You can tank rockets niw

[tepid agate]

Yeah but 2042 is still way ahead of the drop off it went to 1k at a point

[lucid goblet]

was never much a fan of bf4 personally, i enjoyed BF1 wayy more

[tepid agate]

I think so but hardly any 2042

[hexed mango]

BF1 is amazing

people will probably still come back on thursdays for missions

[lucid goblet]

anyway,on 2042. how's everyone's weekly missions looking?

[hexed mango]

easy

[jaunty fjord]

i hope that can be come ture

[hexed mango]

unfortunately...

[tepid agate]

I haven't played it in a while but I like some gadgets of 2042 and with live updates there's things to do. BF4 I maxed everything and nothing new lol

[hexed mango]

its the only way i can really progress in the BP now

cause at Tier 71 i need 20.5k xp to get 1 BP point

which is a lot of games

[lucid goblet]

yeah ..... i've mentioned that too lol,but i understand why they are the way they are currently, don't want to make it too much of a grind for those who can't play a lot.

[hexed mango]

granted, i grinded so much and i probably shouldnt be at Tier 70+ lol

[lucid goblet]

i'm on 98 😬

[hexed mango]

true, but i feel like (the bonus challenge especially) isnt as high-risk high-reward as i wish

[chilly jacinth]

wtf

[tepid agate]

I don't even know what level I am at in missions lol I think around 60

[copper rock]

[hexed mango]

damn lol

[chilly jacinth]

you need help

[tepid agate]

Wow lol

Playing the hell out of exposure??

[lucid goblet]

yeah, all i play lol

[hexed mango]

ive been playing raft instead of 2042 since i finished the challenges

although when im not playing with @edgy oriole i mess around in 2042

[lucid goblet]

plus no work atm so.... ez

[hexed mango]

i have no work cause i hate my job

[tepid agate]

I can't keep recycling exposure gets boring after some time and I want to go back to rotation lol

[tame cobalt]

8 player squads may introduce some new issues. Squad revive might become pretty OP when it's 8 people who can keep each other alive. But big squads may also reduce lone wolfing, cuz players will be more likely to run into bigger groups of people. So sticking with squad will become more encouraged i think.

[tepid agate]

I have no work because covid lockdown lol

I'll quickly see where I am

[tame cobalt]

hmmm... 8 player squad with squad order XP bonus might change the game a LOT, in the direction of more teamplay.

[tepid agate]

Just allow us to change squads

I hate it when I go into a squad who does nothing team okay lol

All individualy spread out doing their own thing 😄

[lucid goblet]

you can kinda switch squads

[tepid agate]

Oh I am 5 points from level 63

How do you change?

I now have Mackey at mastery 30. Once he's done only dozer and Liz left

[tame cobalt]

Pause menu -> players and squads -> go to to your own name -> you'll have a "change squad" option

But it randomly puts you in a new squad. Which i honestly don't mind.

It seems to work well.

[tepid agate]

Oh cool thanks for that

[tame cobalt]

Ye, right click on your name for change squad

Or press square on ps

[tepid agate]

Oh cool!

The other day I went in and I was in a solo sqaud lol

[tame cobalt]

Is that playercard from the dozer pack?

[tepid agate]

See if I can find a standard conquest now but I doubt it'll work

[lucid goblet]

no it's part of the BP

[tame cobalt]

Sweet

[tepid agate]

Nice orbital

[tame cobalt]

Looks intense, like some modern day pirate flag

[tame cobalt]

Orbital and exposure best cq128 maps

Orbital could be better for sure, but it's fun

[tepid agate]

I like manifest too but no more other than those 3. Renewel is ok

[tame cobalt]

ye manifest fun too

[lucid goblet]

it's really nice, huge ship in the centre

[tame cobalt]

My issue with manifest is the B sector in CQ128. It's a waste of resources to go for it, usually resulting in a loss. They should make it so that sector grants an extra vehicle spawn or something, so it might be worth it to capture it. Or make it a single flag sector, just the flag next to the radio tower.

[tame cobalt]

It's already a fun sector though, so I'd prefer they don't remove a flag from it. Just make it more worth it.

[jovial minnow]

what are the rewards this week?

[hexed mango]

rewards?

you get BP points for missions, as always....

[tame cobalt]

Discarded B sector should also grant a vehicle spawn.

[hexed mango]

i think i broke it

[tame cobalt]

rip

All bp progress lost

[hexed mango]

excusue me

im scared

im really scared

[tame cobalt]

kek

[tame cobalt]

[hexed mango]

[hexed mango]

[lucid goblet]

[tame cobalt]

[hexed mango]

Dozer needs a rework

[hexed mango]

The fire seems to be server issues

[hexed mango]

LMAO

[magic harness]

Battle pass problem probably

[wary sleet]

I'm a game designer :P we don't solve those issues. Those are much more talented people than myself

[tame cobalt]

[arctic grove]

[hexed mango]

[tame cobalt]

A skeleton crew consisting entirely of gigachads

[ocean isle]

So u cant earn any so

[lucid goblet]

plz stop posting random, factless bs .. .thanks @arctic grove

[hexed mango]

Alex and Sam are some of the most chad designers in all of the chadville

[magic harness]

To be left working on 2042 you have to be a chad

Most working on 2043 now

[tame cobalt]

[hexed mango]

LMao

[arctic grove]

and just believe ea's pr jargon apparently

[hexed mango]

bruh

[magic harness]

[hexed mango]

you:

[lucid goblet]

just ignore

[ocean isle]

@hexed mango are u in a match?

[hexed mango]

[tame cobalt]

With 0 bp

[ocean isle]

U earn xp on battle pass progress

[tame cobalt]

[ocean isle]

when match end

[hexed mango]

well ingame rn it says 71 instead of 0 up here

but this is still messed up

[ocean isle]

Wdym 71

[arctic grove]

nah, battlefield hardline 2

[hexed mango]

im tier 71 in BP

71 = tier

[ocean isle]

Oh

Nvm

[arctic grove]

i mean 8 months of waiting and 1 map + 2 guns doesnt sound like the majority of the studio is actively working on the game

[ocean isle]

Does every week mission have new skin on store

[hexed mango]

so far, yes

so far each weekly reset has had a new bundle

[magic harness]

Game might be in a good state now

[arctic grove]

and ea ofc wouldnt say "yeah the people working on this game are a skeleton crew", they would lie

[hexed mango]

with the last one being the first legendary

[magic harness]

But this has to be true

[tame cobalt]

Do u think vince zampella interacts with the devs
Or does he just work as a distanced higher up that has to help with restructuring the dev process and management

[arctic grove]

imagine reacting with clown emoji because im right

[magic harness]

Those who fix bugs don’t make new content

So it’s probably only a few people left
