base-camp

[glass rapids]

Gary or OP

[rough cairn]

Garrison

Wasnt a air drop neither

[glass rapids]

Supply truck maybe

[rough cairn]

But how as you need a squad leader or commander there to do it

[glass rapids]

In your team or enemy

[rough cairn]

It was a friendly garrison

[glass rapids]

Maybe lucky guy

[rough cairn]

But not to see a dot on the map?

[glass rapids]

Don't think anyone cheats for gary

[glass rapids]

There is a bug with exactly that

[rough cairn]

How long has this bug being there ?

[glass rapids]

Since I started pc

I've had it

[rough cairn]

Because i usually see them but as i said it was just fishy because it was late at night and it was one of them games where you just kept capping point after point and then either the next game players changed side to attack and it happened again

And it wasnt just the once like literally every point captured instantly as soon as capped the new garrisons were up

[glass rapids]

Enemy switching sides is peak game

[rough cairn]

I mean you could say it was really good recon but honestly to have supplies there and players there that consistent just doesn’t happen

[glass rapids]

With good commander

[rough cairn]

And i mean computers used to use MBR but then swapped to GPUID or whatever to tackle cheaters but if you look at battlefield now thats done it or arc raiders people still complain of cheaters

[rough cairn]

Yeh but to be the consistent and instantly as soon as it was captured ? Like 2/3 garrisons every point to be captured ?

[glass rapids]

Supplies don't disappear with points being captured

[rough cairn]

And i started monitoring times and players and it was maybe 8 consistent names that were there and it didnt matter if 7 of those players switched teams

[rough cairn]

Yeh i know that but as i said you normally see supplies on the map if they’re friendly and there was none there

[glass rapids]

Idk man do you have video or pics?

[rough cairn]

I dont have videos or pics but im sure if you play from midnight till around 5am uk time on the servers you would see what i mean

[jaunty belfry]

Is the sks in the game? I saw someone here say it was but a reddit post just said it wasnt?

[glass rapids]

1 am to 6am for me

[rough cairn]

Like i mean i monitored the server and it seemed whenever there wasnt any mods there it would happen- but whilst mods were there the games played out completely different with the same people being generals or whatever

And i’ve had some mods switch out the teams to fix the game to be a quick stomp match after match

[glass rapids]

I have to sleep.now food night and hope.you get better luck tomorrow

[rough cairn]

Yeh, enjoy

[jade kayak]

I have had that happen to me once where they force switched me. I was super bummed. 🙁 (in WW2 version)

[rough cairn]

Yeh i mean i’m not fussed when they do that as it’s usually like a day where attack will win or days where defence will win and it evens it out and can be ok if you just want quick games without matches taking 3 hours to complete

[jade kayak]

It was more bumming because we were in a squad that were talking and it threw half of us to the other side.

[rough cairn]

Yeh i can see how that’s annoying, and its annoying in warfare because it never really tends to even out and its just defeat after defeat

[rough cairn]

I mean there’s one feature i hoped for in vietnam and that’s like a quick match finder just click what game mode what map and it puts you in a game with that map/mode, i enjoy the conventional server browser just annoying to see little servers with little map variation but i’m guessing they just dont have the players to warrant it, i know on xbox you could click quick match

And not just that but sometimes the queue times and then seeing it being like 95/100 and then saying its full due to the queue and going down most of the list to have the same story just makes it hard getting into one with good ping i guess

And then you have the other hand with battlefield and offer portal to then reduce xp and stuff on custom created maps its just like why lol

[fallen scroll]

I think this would dramatically help smaller communities as these players would be sending in large numbers on half full servers

[crisp verge]

How long is the vietnam beta lasting?

[rough cairn]

Yeh but if you also look at it from the other hand you know that if you join servers at certain times you know the names you will see and as soon as you introduce something like that it all goes out of the window

[young crystal]

current closed one ends on monday, aka tomorrow

[rough cairn]

Do we know when the open beta will begin ?

[young crystal]

we only know the month - Open Beta will start in May

so next month

(doesnt mean 1st of May, just means May)

[rough cairn]

Yeh i figured that, somewhere in-between would be a good guess

[young crystal]

[rough cairn]

Forza horizon 6 launches 17-19th i think they’re saying different genre but there will be a few like me with interest in multiple genres

[young crystal]

I mean its only a beta, not a full game launch - so you can enjoy both without having to commit money to both 😄

tester discord has over 100.000 people wanting to play the closed beta/open beta.
Should be fine testnumberwise

[rough cairn]

Yeh you’re right, it just always seems to be the case always seems to be always 2 games launching at the same time i figure they do this to ease server tensions

[rough cairn]

Is secure boot listed as a requirement ?

[young crystal]

i mean we also get GTA6 this year

I assume the list of games that come out that could take away some attention from HLLV, is long 😄

[young crystal]

no idea

[rough cairn]

Well unless its anything like the gta5 launch where it got delayed for a couple of years and then online took an extra year lol

[rough cairn]

We always get a call of duty in november

[rough cairn]

Im guessing we will have a new cpu platform by then and usually a gpu to accompany it

[young crystal]

will be an interesting rest of the year in terms of things that come out / release

[rough cairn]

How so?

[fathom shoal]

Whole ah game and another whole ah game

[rough cairn]

Think we’re expecting total war warhammer 40k aswell next year

[halcyon loom]

will we be able to take enemy guns off corpses?

Americans would usually swap their m16's with the nva and vietcong AK's

[rough cairn]

Id expect it alot like hell let loose now with the added addition to helicopters by the sounds and grenade launchers

Oh and boats and swimming

[royal trail]

swimming is a godsend let me tell ya!

[rough cairn]

Why are the maps designed with it in mind ?

[royal trail]

Game would not function without that small detail so id imagine so

[rough cairn]

In all honesty its one of the things i’m not really bothered about, the helicopters and boats are cool but would have preferred a nice tunnel system in its place

[rough cairn]

Or destructible buildings / environment

[royal trail]

I agree. I understand that we would probably have a 2027 release date if they intended to launch with such a detailed system (with how flexible it currently is)

[rough cairn]

2027 is acceptable to think of the work at hand in those systems

[royal trail]

if they wanted to change it now id probably be pessimistic and guess it would be ready 2028 maybe december 27 tbh. With how the performance is currently im sure such a change would rock the code to its core.

[rough cairn]

It would be a huge change for sure and yeh it would be a hell of a lot of work but i honestly think it would put it well ahead of the competition, i mean over the top looks groundbreaking tbh , the thing that puts me off is the 3rd person aim/shoot

I mean half of the time i question if its laziness from developers why games aren’t further ahead than what they are or if its technology that holds them back

[royal trail]

To be fair, T17 aint exactly a big shot AAA studio so they are doing their best, especially working with inherited code, and now trying to emulate the feel of HLL with a new engine.

[rough cairn]

I don’t mean T17

[royal trail]

ah you mean the actual big studios lmao, sorry... im so used to the negative people just saying this game will outright fail I jumped the gun

[rough cairn]

I don’t think it will fail honestly i think T17 do amazing work

[rough cairn]

And in all honesty it’s one of the best shooters i’ve played in a long time

[royal trail]

Jesus christ i just realized how unemployed I am... i got 30 hours in the beta, i gotta get a liiiife XDD

[rough cairn]

I never got chosen to participate in closed beta- I’m a little disappointed but it’s what it’s

[royal trail]

yeah its sad. I got two friends I play HLL with mostly, we do tanks for the most part (I drive the tank generally), both of them signed up and neither got accepted, so i didnt really dare to try the tank yet

[rough cairn]

Honestly it’s a beta to play, have fun and just test it overall i guess

[royal trail]

I have tried most other stuff. Its fun, very fun

[rough cairn]

What weapons do you get?

[rough cairn]

How’s the recoil how similar is it ?

[royal trail]

either too much or too little depending on the gun, which is kinda sad but its sure to get fixed

[rough cairn]

I mean from what i’ve seen it looks ok but looks and feels are too different things if it looks easy it just shows at how good the player is at managing it

[royal trail]

I mean its manageble, but personally, i dont think MG's should be able to be aimed (without bipod) and be manageble while firing nonstop

[rough cairn]

I’m not sure because after ww2 LMGs got altered massively to be manageable to do that due to how effective they are at what they do

Like i’m sure the m60 uses the mg42 mechanism but its RoF was made slower to improve longevity of the barrel and ammo, and to help with recoil

Im fairly sure soldiers were taught how to increase the rate of fire but weren’t meant to do it, unless that was the m249 saw

But still i think it works on a similar mechanism to the m60

Like i’m also sure the ak-47 was produced how it is due to the mp44 also known as the stg

[jaunty belfry]

i wanna try over the top really bad. looks so good

[lavish locust]

Okay, I would like to make one humble suggestion:

Kill this yellow filter DEAD.

It’s so unbelievably ugly dude, doesn’t allow the rainforest to look good at all. Hell Let Loose is known for atmospheric stages, so I’m sure it’s just on that one map, but it’s not a good atmosphere

[royal trail]

Its meant to be toggleble, the toggle ability is bugged. its not meant to be a forced effect lol

[lavish locust]

Oh thank god. Still funny that they put a Look Like Sh*t filter in the game

[royal trail]

lmao yeah, also same with the motion blur, like jesus... its so difficult to see anythign rn, but its fun overall

[lavish locust]

Generally, the jungle needs to look more vibrant and colorful, I feel. That’s part of the visual essence of Vietnam to me- hell being brought to a place of natural beauty

[lavish locust]

Wait.

do you have access to the game?

[royal trail]

as per my current activity showing on discord, yes

[lavish locust]

WAIT, IS THE PLAYTEST LIVE NOW

[royal trail]

has been since friday, will be until tomorrow (15 European time)

[lavish locust]

…

I have so much homework man

[royal trail]

The open beta will be next month (: so you wont have missed more than a few bug fixes

[lavish locust]

Confirmed?

[royal trail]

yes

[lavish locust]

WOOOOOO

[jade kayak]

it is PLANNED for May

no definite date

https://www.hellletloose.com/blog/beta-testing-and-crossplay

[royal trail]

still, its 35 days at worst of waiting, and i think we can manage that lol

[lavish locust]

In your experience, can older, chuggier computers run the game?

[jade kayak]

what do you consider older?

[royal trail]

Currently, it feels unoptimized, and i've seen people with what i would consider 'okay' specs have issues. i think it varies depending on ping, server, and if you open the map at the wrong time

[lavish locust]

Computer was bought in about 2020-2021, then high to midrange gaming laptop

[jade kayak]

Parts?

like GPU, CPU, Ram?

[lavish locust]

Uhhhhh exact model is Asus TUF F15 Dash. Don’t have it in front of me right now

Got em

CPU: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11370H @ 3.30GHz (3.30 GHz)
GPU: NVIDIA 3060 RTX
RAM 24GB

[royal trail]

im very bad with PC parts tbh, ill leave these to the pros lmao

[jade kayak]

I have a 3070 nvidia gpu and 5600x amd cpu and 32gb ram. Ran fine for me. You SHOULD be okay?

It may not be like the most super high frames, but

I had 60-90 for the most part. Sometimes higher.

[royal trail]

Will say, i have around 30-32 hours in the beta, and i haven't crashed once, i've lagged a bit, and servers have died beneath my feet, but my game has been stable on my end atleast

[jade kayak]

I'm gonna try to play a little more tonight before I go to bed.

[royal trail]

damn, europe has officially gone to bed

i guess that means I have to go to bed also

[neon yew]

My HLL vietnam peformance has been great. and the visual aspect is soo much better than WW2

[gleaming light]

Whatre them specs

[neon yew]

[ Main]

[balmy osprey]

is better to play on Xbox

[dusty swift]

Youre here too?

[neon yew]

🤔

[raw elm]

What resolution? It's more like 30-60 on my rig with better specs, and from what I could tell that was the case for all with similar specs.

[royal trail]

Gooooooood morning vi- eh its overdone, good morning everybody

[uncut coral]

Has the M14 been confirmed in game?

[rough cairn]

Does it still have recon classes and locked to 2 snipers per team?

[vagrant rock]

Let's hope so

[royal trail]

And there the beta closed

[neon yew]

Aaand the servers have just shut down!

GG

[royal trail]

after 2 minutes of it not shutting down i kind of started to assume they were doing that, then the timer froze, and then i couldnt run/change gun

noooo, i shouldnt have exited the game, now its locked... i mean, understandable but sad for me personally

[sick bison]

What a great first start to Vietnam!

[maiden lichen]

Yes they are still like that

[maiden lichen]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/899763415290097664/1039866366695583804/B0363F1C-F28E-4C6A-92DD-C00BAB91F862.gif

[rough cairn]

Sweet what’s building like ?

[maiden lichen]

Didnt play a lot of engineer but its nice

I mostly build tunnels

[fathom shoal]

Tunnels are OP

[limpid walrus]

anyone know if they are doing a second wave of beta testing

sweet

[maiden lichen]

Definitly, 15 tunnels is crazy

also make them (even) louder and nerf the connection range.

[glass rapids]

HerrWilles gets a :point_up;

[maiden lichen]

The rest is good enough, them costing supplies would make it too hard to get a network up and having a Network size of 5 is fine

Brother

Manpower maybe

but not thought for a second you meant supplies

I have driven enough Msups in Foxhole, to have this gameplay in HLL as well would break me

[glossy lynx]

we cant talk about beta here correct?

[maiden lichen]

Sir

I just did

[glossy lynx]

nda no?

[maiden lichen]

We can talk about it

[glossy lynx]

ok ok

hope open beta is better had fun tho

[maiden lichen]

as we everyone has in their Yt videos

[glossy lynx]

open beta will be more updated im guessing

[maiden lichen]

They said it doesnt have blur

[glossy lynx]

i thought we can build actual tunnels

[maiden lichen]

Oh my sweet sweet summer child

||teleporting||

[unkempt oracle]

Louder?! Nothing in this game needs to be louder. You can hear tunnels from 99m away already

[maiden lichen]

Make it 100m

[unkempt oracle]

I hope they reduce the speed of tanks

[maiden lichen]

https://tenor.com/view/your-suggestion-will-be-considered-printer-shredder-suggestion-shredder-suggestion-printer-shredder-no-suggestion-shredded-suggestion-gif-5960810054433229927

Dont listen to this man

He is a noob tanker anyway

[unkempt oracle]

True

Worse AT player than tanker though

[glossy lynx]

lighting needs to be fixed

[unkempt oracle]

Yeah, for me the big three are:

Audio

Visual

Performance

[glossy lynx]

some enemies I could not see

to dark

maps need to be bigger to

the tunnel system if played right is always a win

[unkempt oracle]

Audio needs some depth. Everything is loud and sounds like it's directly on top of you. Incredibly hard to get a specific direction worked out

Visuals are blurry and have a weird wet look about them, even without motion blur and film grain. Brightness/contrast was completely wrong, and Mexico filter needs to go

Performance for me was really poor, and seems like they're relying on DLSS as TSR didn't work at all and FSR wasn't even available.

[glossy lynx]

sad we cant actually make tunnels our selfs

I had frame generation on still fps went down

I played a regular hell let loose match so much easier getting kills

[unkempt oracle]

Yeah, it was pretty bad. My PC is above the recommended specs

[glossy lynx]

hll vietnam is a lot harder

made me get kills easy regular hll

[unkempt oracle]

HLL relies on map knowledge a lot for kills. You probably know the HLL maps well and the Vietnam map was completely alien

[glossy lynx]

indeed

[broken schooner]

And 3x the speed of inf

[sick bison]

Curious, are the maps taken directly from the gps and topography of the regions where the actual battles occurred? Like in fist game?

[vagrant rock]

Wait, there's aliens in HLLV? Based

Very based too

[uncut coral]

As an M14 Supremacist do they have the wooden stock M14 in this game

[fathom shoal]

No.

I expect it to come at a later date.

[uncut coral]

That’s a let down

[glass rapids]

Point up

:point up:

[uncut coral]

Hope it DOES come later if not what a miss

[celest spire]

no

not completely

more like inspierd by

mainly its major landmarks that are recreated

like the dragons jaw bridge

and im assuming Hue City will be more accurate based on irl maps

[fathom shoal]

It's not like we're getting Hue City

The game said it was the outskirts of it

So could just be random things plopped around

[modern acorn]

We NEED Ia Drang no questions about it

[jaunty belfry]

https://tenor.com/view/raphael-screaming-angry-mad-sad-gif-2166599788347791207

[celest spire]

did anyone see a napalm strike during the test?

i never did

[maiden lichen]

I did once

[unkempt oracle]

It's bombing run but it sits on the ground for a bit longer

[maiden lichen]

My oppinion about the VFX got into the survey

[unkempt oracle]

The VFX are AMAZING

[celest spire]

tbh they should change the bombing run

its so unrealistic

how slow it is

like realistically with bombs exploding that close to eachother they would have been dropped within miliseconds of eachother and would all explode in a stick in about a second

[maiden lichen]

I would have never dreamed of seing something that looks worse that the tanks explosions in HLL ww2

There I could at least argue its an upgrade

[unkempt oracle]

Ik they said it needs optimisation, but like, I can't even see the vision they've got for it

I actually laughed the first time I saw it

[celest spire]

if they cant nail the napalm effect the game will pretty much flop

[unkempt oracle]

i mean, of all the issues in the game, napalm is pretty low down the list for me

[celest spire]

yea but i mean in terms of like iconic things about vietnam

but anyway yea this is how fast the bombing run should happen:

https://youtu.be/AcfwhCVjG0I?si=FO4Kxa_2FcIHJ3IZ&t=131

in HLL it takes like 15 seconds before its over

[maiden lichen]

Dude

We are not hitting the nail

im not sure what we are hitting, but 100% not healthy

[celest spire]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Jqv9tuvL3p0

another example

on how fast the stick should happen

[vagrant rock]

Flop?

[celest spire]

i was exaggerating lol but it would be sad if the napalm looked like crap

[maiden lichen]

Dont hold your breath, you would suffocate

[celest spire]

i mean i saw the new arty explosions and they actually looked very good

[maiden lichen]

Im looking forwards to the other playmodes tho, warfare with people being every literally everywhere in the jungle is meh to play

[celest spire]

arty effects look more realistic then in HLL, in HLL they have this hollywood upward almoast mushroom shape which is not common high explosive warheads

this is pretty much the difference

HLL:vietnam ones look way better

[unkempt oracle]

You said it, HLL was Hollywood. It was based on existing media and was trying to make a Hollywood WW2 film. That's why the bombing run is so slow. It's "epic"

[celest spire]

the mortar explosions looked really bad though from what i could see

i also think for vietnam the bombing run should be adjusted to a more focused attack rather then just carpet bombing

you would never carpet bomb as close air support

this is how i would rework the bombing run

would also look cooler cuz you would have 2 jets diving in for the attack

like this

@plain lake you seeing these great ideas Ben? pass em on up the chain 😂

but fr tho the bombing run badly needs an overhaul cuz in the current game its just a teamkill magnet half the time

[maiden lichen]

We had a lot of good ideas over the time in #1098158460463480842

Sam did a loadout post ages ago, which the current Weight system in HLLV isnt that far away from.

-# Im telling you they stole his homework. xD

[celest spire]

or listended to him

like he has wanted them to do for years

[unkempt oracle]

No don't let Sam believe this please

fwiw, i don't believe the US have a bombing run in Vietnam. The NVA has one, and it's slightly different but I didn't quite catch a perfect view of it

[runic kraken]

please tell me the bombing run is the exact same

[maiden lichen]

I would tell you dear Chum

If I could

[celest spire]

it is yes

its terrible

[runic kraken]

lazy by the devs

[celest spire]

how does the US not have one? when they dropped more bombs on SEA then every single country did during ww2 combined

[runic kraken]

what isnt a copy-paste job in this one

[celest spire]

pretty much everything lol

[unkempt oracle]

The tacmap is brand new

[celest spire]

theres like nothinng copypasted other then what you would want

[unkempt oracle]

The tacmap is also not great

[celest spire]

ye id prefer the 2d map

[runic kraken]

realizing its because its the devs did not want to put in the effort of making 2d maps because of what might change on the maps

[celest spire]

bro will find negativity in everything lol

[runic kraken]

this is not negativity

[devout crow]

i dont see the negativity in that sentance at all

[runic kraken]

people project too much

[celest spire]

i think they did the 3d thing to try something new cuz they thought it was more of a modern idea

to be different

but its just not implemented very well rn

[runic kraken]

no, they did it so they dont have to put in the effort of making 2D maps lol

[unkempt oracle]

DannyArt talked about how much time it takes for those 2D maps. It's definitely a big factor

[runic kraken]

then you have all this talk about misalignment issues

[celest spire]

honestly they could just do a 2d map where they do an image of the 3d map from above like its a recon photo

that would work i think

[unkempt oracle]

Carentan is 15m offset, incase I've never mentioned it

[celest spire]

they could do it like this

[devout crow]

When the 3D map works it will be fine

[unkempt oracle]

Nah, for now they need to double down with what they've done. But they could add a google maps layer over the top for the roads and paths to make it a little clearer

Just have it know the road textures or something and turn them bright blue or whatever

[celest spire]

ye true

i do wonder y we arent getting any playable CAS in the game initially

[vagrant rock]

Because bad idea

[devout crow]

Content creep is the go with games these days.. What they going to put in patches

[vagrant rock]

Neither this game nor the maps were made for flyable aircraft

[celest spire]

ye cuz if i dont get my huey gunship im gonna cry

[celest spire]

worked fine on the map we were playing, if u have half a brain for flying

i flew for a whole match the other day and never got shot down

[vagrant rock]

Average player doesn't have half a brain

[celest spire]

ye thats not the games fault tho

[vagrant rock]

And again, this game isn't made for flyable planes

[devout crow]

i mean it is tho aint it

[vagrant rock]

No

[celest spire]

i never said planes

[vagrant rock]

Ah

Still bad idea due to game balance

[devout crow]

Nah

[celest spire]

yea flying jets or props in these games would be trash

helicopters are fine tho

[tulip thunder]

Hi there, on April 22nd I was invited to play the HLL:V beta test, but I filled out the remaining information by clicking the "view invitation" button. I indicated that I was on PS5, accepted, and read the NDA, etc., but I haven't received any further emails, and I haven't been able to play the beta test. Anyone can help me, please??

[vagrant rock]

For transport, yes

[devout crow]

Its over, wait till May

[celest spire]

i was actually really pleasently suprised at the helicopter FM

controls were a bit janky but i got used to them pretty fast

hoping for joystick or atleast controller support tho

[devout crow]

Hotas support would be ace

not gonna hold my breath tho

[celest spire]

yea if it doesnt happen i think its fine cuz the controls werent hard

like slightly harder then Battlefield

i do think there should be a degree of control of the cyclic with the mouse tho

[celest spire]

some rockets and miniguns would be fine

1 gunship at a time

[vagrant rock]

Nah

[celest spire]

and they can only be spawned by commander

[devout crow]

Yeah

Would main

[celest spire]

its a vietnam game bruh

[vagrant rock]

With how clueless the players in this game are, easily abusable

[vagrant rock]

So?

[devout crow]

making the right counter to it only takes just 1 player to be clued up

just like it would only take 1 player to be good with the CAS

[celest spire]

pretty simple then that the commander of a team dont give a gunship to the player who cant fly them

[vagrant rock]

On paper, yes

[runic kraken]

other than appearance, what differentiates HLLV as being a vietnam set game?

[vagrant rock]

https://tenor.com/view/donald-trump-sounds-good-doesnt-work-gif-13773277

[celest spire]

tunnels, helos, boats, bayonets, grenade launchers, mortars, swimming, weight system, more customizable equipment.

[devout crow]

wasnt that OP irl was it tho... probs would have worked out differently if it was 😬

[vagrant rock]

That's such a bad argument lmfao

[devout crow]

just like yours

[vagrant rock]

No

[celest spire]

id rather have the odd match where a incompetent guy flys a helo 1 time rather then denying everyone else the fun of flying a gunship

[devout crow]

https://tenor.com/view/jack-nicholson-jack-nicholson-yes-yes-nod-head-nod-gif-17444176260167585294

[vagrant rock]

It's not about the incompetent flying the helicopter, dude

It's about the competent ones flying it

[celest spire]

yea and?

[devout crow]

yeah lol

AND ?

[vagrant rock]

Leaving the often clueless enemy team no chance

Again, imbalance

[devout crow]

thats like saying giving a competant commander on 1 team and not the other is OP and shouldnt be in the game

Exactly the same

[celest spire]

1 well placed rpg or a well aimed ak mag or 1 burst from a DshK machine gun will bring it down

[vagrant rock]

No, by far not

[devout crow]

Yes by far is

[vagrant rock]

Because both teams have a commander

But only the US team gets helicopters

[devout crow]

thats why you have a counter on the opiste side

[vagrant rock]

So your comparison doesn't work at all

[devout crow]

aint hard to imagine

[celest spire]

there are tank players in HLL that get like 200 kills per match, shoudl we remove tanks because of that?

[vagrant rock]

ON PAPER, yea

[vagrant rock]

@blazing ridge

[vagrant rock]

Again, both teams get tanks

[devout crow]

LOOK, its simple HE doesnt like the idea so there for BAD

[vagrant rock]

Only the US get helicopters

[vagrant rock]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-giga-chad-chad-gif-23788137

[devout crow]

he cant possible think of any counter to it that VC can have at all

[celest spire]

plus the vietnam setting is great for protecting the NVA team against helis cuz u can hide literally everywhere

[devout crow]

NON

[vagrant rock]

As if you don't think of this idea as good because you like it lol

[devout crow]

https://tenor.com/view/zero-neil-degrasse-tyson-startalk-none-nothing-gif-22234533

[celest spire]

if a player or a group of players can get together and dominate as a gunship helo then they deserve too cuz they make something challenging work

and again bringing a helo down really isnt very hard

3 to 5 players spraying ak's at 1 helicopter as it flies over is enough

1 player if they are good at the game

[devout crow]

ad AA and more RPG's game over

[celest spire]

just look at RS2, the helos there are waaay more powerfull then the HLL ones likely ever will be

[devout crow]

was so nice hitting CAS with an RPG in RS2

[celest spire]

yet you can litterally bring all of them down with a single headshot dink

[devout crow]

ontop of the commander AA cooldown that would just wipe out anything in the air at the time

[celest spire]

plus the gunship would have to go back to base and rearm

[celest spire]

yea lol the SA2 call in

id be down with the NVA even having that

in HLL:V

give..

[devout crow]

F**K Yeah, GET SOME

[celest spire]

altough i could see the forward mounted miniguns making it a bit OP

they should just make it a lighter gunship with rockets and a minigun on the door for the gunners to use

[devout crow]

imagine being on the ground and seeing all the shells rain down on you as it passes over top laying down hell onto the hill infront of you

🤣 🤣 🤣 Why is YODA flying it

[celest spire]

they could set it up like this

would be fun

would make it very reliant on multicrew

[celest spire]

didnt even notice

[celest spire]

whats that

[muted forum]

farming simulator 2

[glossy lynx]

will open beta be more updated?

[lavish locust]

Between this and the person who thought HLL was ruined because it wasn’t a completely different game, I don’t think I’m gonna trust a single member of the community to provide actual feedback

[celest spire]

if u read 4 more messages u would realize i was joking

[tall beacon]

Thank you mods 😛

Sifting through beta feedback, the helicopters seem super weak and the tunnel system seems highly overpowered.

[maiden lichen]

Helis are barely used

[muted forum]

they can be good just not good enough to counter the TUNNEL.

as long as they make the gunplay satisfying it should be playable

[limpid walrus]

i wasnt in the beta test how OP are tunnels

[muted forum]

imagine an teleport that you can place that costs no supplies only requirement to use it is to go to any of those teleports and press F then you can select ANY other connected tunnel and teleport around the map

[limpid walrus]

oh my

[muted forum]

tldr you can set a tunnel network from your hq to anywhere around the map

use the 10s hq spawn timer instead of the 20s op or 40s garrison

doesnt go down if enemies capture the zone that its in

the will probably make it cost supplies and make it only buildable from 2nd sector

[celest spire]

mind u the tunnels had like no restrictions likely to test them

[limpid walrus]

Understand that its OP

but arent the helis also good

[celest spire]

they should just make the tunnel cost 50 supplies and make it so they cant be connected to garrisons

make them a trade off for the NVA to think about

[winged scroll]

When you spawn on a landed heli, do you spawn inside or out? And what's the timer

[celest spire]

''whats more worth guys? a garry or a tunnel over here?''

[celest spire]

i think it was outside

[limpid walrus]

but shouldnt the tunnels be OP they were in the actual war

[celest spire]

they need to fix that defo

[limpid walrus]

tbf i think they should add freelook like arma has were you can turn your head while moving cause im sick of dying cause i could turn left fast enough to see he was there

[winged scroll]

Ideally it should be decided by the pilot. If I'm waiting in a safe place for a full load of troops, then I could drop them into a hotter LZ without the fuss of telling them to get in. The heli wont survive if it has to wait for a spawn wave with just the crew inside

[celest spire]

yea heli needs to let ppl spawn in it while its flying

like in RS2

[limpid walrus]

also no one answers the quesiton of if you can see your own feet in HLLV

[unkempt oracle]

This is in the game

[winged scroll]

Also the pilot should have a button that kicks everyone out so that LZ is actually taken quick enough, rather than half of the troops staying cluelessly inside as the pilot already ascends (or gets shot waiting for troops to dismount)

[limpid walrus]

thank god

[unkempt oracle]

It's in HLL...

[limpid walrus]

havent heard anyone say anyhting about it

is it

[celest spire]

i didnt check

[limpid walrus]

is it actually

im an idiot

[celest spire]

yea freelook has been in HLL for like a year now?

[limpid walrus]

omg i actually am its been ALT this entire time

[celest spire]

a bit more?

[limpid walrus]

yeah just found that one

[celest spire]

we have free look, we have bayonets, we have actual mag based ammo and we have fire select modes. Now all thats missing is a mag check function

[limpid walrus]

and seeing your own feet

as in my opinion thats important

adds to the realism

[celest spire]

tru

i didnt test out the dragging

idk if it was even a thing

in this beta

[celest spire]

and wahmen fighting for the vietcong

[unkempt oracle]

There is no mag based ammo? It's still an ammo pool....

[celest spire]

u sure?

[unkempt oracle]

Quite

[celest spire]

the new ammo display shows a mag being emtied and im pretty sure when i reloaded a few times it kept the ammo count of the individual mags

i might be high tho

[quiet light]

hey all!

quite new!

i wanted to play the hll vietnam beta but i never got in sadly

[celest spire]

open beta in may so wont have to wait too long

[quiet light]

what day?

if there is one

[celest spire]

not stated yet

[quiet light]

oh

[celest spire]

just may for now

[quiet light]

gotcha

[celest spire]

id guess mid-late may tho

[quiet light]

i need an alternative to bf6😭 that game is a let down

[quiet light]

so like 15th or 20th?

[celest spire]

i really dont know mate

[quiet light]

thats what i consider mid-late may

fair

[celest spire]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzsSrPqkR5s

me when the game (hopefully) adds the huey gunship

[maiden lichen]

100% sure

[jaunty belfry]

do the plants move at all

[royal trail]

And there we go, i have given my feedback

[celest spire]

not that i noticed

hopefully there will be a bit of movement when going through bushes and rotor wash making trees and bushes flail

[quiet light]

was the beta any good yall?

[royal trail]

It shows potential, once the obvious bugs are fixed: the Open beta will speak for itself

[jade kayak]

I mean, it seems like a lot of people were happy with it over all, however major bugs/visual issues (motion blur being a big one).

[fallen scroll]

🗺️ 👎🏻

[jade kayak]

As in the map UI or the map itself?

[royal trail]

I mean, it was the perfect beta map. It has all elements needed (Boats/Helicopters, chokepoints, open/very tight areas.

they need feedback on the entire game from one map to start with, this was he perfect one.

3D map? meh, they should skip it imo, not worth the hassle it creates.

[fallen scroll]

The map UI

If they hired someone who plays this game autisticaly it would be much better game

Out of all things the map didn't need to be overhauled like that

[royal trail]

agreed on both points

I say this as someone who personally knows someone that plays this game autistically

[fallen scroll]

Not Meta.Phil tho

[royal trail]

Lmao

[fallen scroll]

That guy pleases himself in those bushes

[old gale]

i keep seeing ppl having issues with the helis but when I flew I thought the controls and the gameplay was fine overall

other than the crash sensitivity

[neon yew]

Exactly

[old gale]

also the UH-1 wasnt as fast as people think, sure they could maybe increase the speed a tiny bit but it shouldnt be much

the only issue I saw was crashing

and not being able to bandage inside the heli

[neon yew]

Ngl i think its just skill issue if u crash a lot, ive only crashed once and that was when i was learning how to fly it. heli controls and handling is fine

[celest spire]

https://youtube.com/shorts/kIGYvNCZogk?is=sc9cUTfEmbZYhGZG

[celest spire]

Yea took me like 5 mins to figure out the controls and after that i didnt crash at all

Helps playing flight sims and understanding how helicopters work on a slightly deeper level

[neon yew]

Definitely, i am a experienced flight sim player too

[glossy lynx]

open beta should be way better

They said in August last year, that its 18 months in development.

[modern acorn]

yeah hold up let me pull something

3D ‘live’ map is still a bad idea: change my mind

[glass rapids]

2d map is better

Did u change your mind

[hearty bluff]

why didnt they invite me

i want to play fortunate son and fly helicopter

[fallen scroll]

I am not going to change your mind

Someone mentioned to me that they did not necessarily intend to make the map open in full screen mode but performance issues force them to... either way they should scrape it.. they could have used some drawn 3D map instead.. it would keep the cool effect but would not affect the game play experience

That's why I think they don't really have people who play this game a lot.. they implement the map as if it was RPG game where you can pause, open a bag of crisps and enjoy the sightseeing

That's why this drives me mad.. they could shift focus on things that could have been improved.. the original map is just fine.. more here #base-camp message

Moreover notice how the UI is made to be more accessible and then they develop a map where you can't see yourself or others quickly as all the marks blend with the environment etc

🤯

[royal trail]

Who wants to see the road properly so you can follow it? I find it far too convenient!

[rough cairn]

Ham wrong approach ? Lol

[fallen scroll]

The map was too OP they had to nerf it

[royal trail]

True!

[fallen scroll]

Btw what happened? I remember seeing like 130k members

[maiden lichen]

Its bugged

I saw it with 134k members before the weekend once

[livid folio]

Something wrong with discord? Hll channels keep disappearing.

[royal trail]

thought i got banned! really got my heartrate up for a moment

Same. I think it actually unbanned me because I can react to stuff now.

Nope just this channel

Seems stable now

[rancid compass]

@plain lake , do we know if Rented Server prices will be comparable to the same prices for HLL (WW2) from the same providers? I am seeing some websites begin to add sections to their websites and it seems some have raised prices. Wanted your take on what we can expect

or anyone else who knows

[rapid plover]

Will there be another round this weekend?

lol beta ended a few days ago

[lone citrus]

LOL thank you

[celest spire]

i played it

[lone citrus]

Was it good?

[celest spire]

overall yea

buggy, a bit janky in some parts and defo needs work

but thats what an early beta is for

Open Beta will be sometime in may so u dont have to wait too long to try it yourself

and it will probably be in a more stable state aswell

[glossy lynx]

should be more updated

[glossy lynx]

was fun but some bugsm I enjoyed it more then regular hell let loose

(the helis have no gunners afaik)

[fervent grotto]

They have machine guns attached to them though right ?

As I seen

[vagrant rock]

Dunno, didn't play the beta

But those would get operated by the pilot then, wouldn't they?

[fervent grotto]

I saw in the footage they have gunner

[fervent grotto]

No

@ruby patrol Do the helis have (door) gunners?

i want this baby

I wonder how the M16 performs. I hope it’s good. It’ll probably be the weapon I use the most as the US.

any one have a rough idea on the open beta like end of may mid may?

[cerulean skiff]

Thursday

[winged scroll]

exactly when you're busy being sick, overworked, or have to make a choice between playing HLLV or chasing after the love of your life

[rotund fossil]

• that day ull have no internet and probably no electricity (or have to play on a potato, like me)

[wooden palm]

Lol

[glass rapids]

Nooo

[jade kayak]

Don't ping more than once. Jeez

[glass rapids]

My money...

[glass rapids]

It was grey for me on the first one

[icy charm]

1 hour til April 30th in VN becomes May 1st

[celest spire]

it was a bit flaccid in the closed beta ngl

felt like the thompson

all the guns need more punch tbh

[glass rapids]

Thompson has too much recoi

[celest spire]

my point is it didnt feel liek a rifle

felt like a submachine gun

[glass rapids]

Ah understand

[celest spire]

the animation for the recoil was really bad aswell for full auto

[glass rapids]

Yeah sadly I agree too

Looked like something from crazygames

[celest spire]

was bouncing forward and backward rather then keep pushing back and up

[glass rapids]

Yeah man I agree

[celest spire]

should be like this

current hell let loose actuallu does full auto recoil better

[glass rapids]

This from the side or from your perspective

[celest spire]

from the side

[glass rapids]

OK then I fully agree

[celest spire]

https://klipy.com/gifs/ateez-mingi-31--k01KQFMJ13TH28TTE79BDAJXKNR

current m16 recoil is literally this

[glass rapids]

Lol

[celest spire]

rs2 actually has some of the best looking recoil animations imo

[glass rapids]

Are you level 500

[celest spire]

?

[glass rapids]

In hell let loose

[celest spire]

no lol i dont got time to play only HLL that much

[glass rapids]

What level then?

At least above 100 right?

[celest spire]

im not a very high level cuz i put quite alot of time into the game before levels were introduced, and i dont play as much as i used to

im like lvl 98 or 100 i think

[glass rapids]

Oh ok I understand i was just asking because you had Veteran thing

[celest spire]

yea thats from the kickstarter

i backed the game at veteran tier

many moons ago

[glass rapids]

OK dude you explained everything for me about this thanks 😊

[celest spire]

lol ok

I think sam svk also did the same right?

[celest spire]

yep

[celest spire]

aww bro just a youngen

I actually checked a lot on this game in 2021 and then a friend wanted to play with me so I bought it dihscount

And now he doesn't want to play lol

[celest spire]

some screenshots from the very first closed alpha playtest

good ol days

[glass rapids]

Whats the hu.mel doing

[celest spire]

8 years ago

[glass rapids]

Wasn't it removed

[celest spire]

it was

there were no vehicles in the alpha

they were just there for show

[glass rapids]

Bro it felt like it was more communication based before

Feels like battlefield disguised as milsim by the noobs in this game

[celest spire]

HLL has always been more RO2 and Battlefield then a milsim

[glass rapids]

My friend told me it was realistic af lol

[celest spire]

eh

[glass rapids]

He told me you could dig trenches too

[celest spire]

in HLL??

[glass rapids]

Yes lol

[celest spire]

lmao ur friend is lying

thats never been a thing

[glass rapids]

He told me it was removed for optimisation issues

I don't think it was the case

[celest spire]

yea treshes has never been a thing

might have been a planned thing

[glass rapids]

Hes on console and said hell let loose was available on PlayStation 4 too

[celest spire]

ur friend is just a straight up liar lmao

[glass rapids]

Yeah lol he had like 15 hours in the game when he told me that

I have 500-600 hours total now

But maybe 300 in games

Alright I might have to go offline because imma be busy soon

[trim nimbus]

Disappointed, but I can’t say I’m surprised. I saw other people on Reddit also saying it took at least 2 shots at close range and sometimes up to 5 shots at medium-long ranges.
I was hoping they would cast aside the “le smaller bullet means less damage” meme, especially considering that the initial reports on the M16 in Vietnam indicated that the rifle was deadly.

[celest spire]

always time to adjust it

[trim nimbus]

Here’s hoping. But I can’t say I’d expect it. A couple people on Reddit even said they liked the lower damage, which, again, is disappointing but not surprising considering it’s Reddit.

[glass rapids]

Cod players

[trim nimbus]

But I do hope they change it, and beef up the damage for all the guns.

[trim nimbus]

If I’m remembering correctly, they said that they liked it because it would “give more of a reason to use the M14”. But the thing is, you don’t need to nerf the M16 and give it a longer ttk to make the M14 viable. The M14 could have advantages like better barrier penetration or better damage over longer ranges.

[glass rapids]

Yeah: point tup :

[celest spire]

i think there is a case to be made for AR's killing with 2 shots but ye any more then that is just bad

[trim nimbus]

I was just hoping they kept the damage for ARs similar to how it is in HLL. 1hk out to 100 meters. And then the M14 could be a 1hk beyond that, like how semi-auto rifles are in HLL.

That way, the M14 still has its niche. Because while the closed beta map was very close quarters, the devs have indicated that there will also be maps with more long range engagements in mind.

[glass rapids]

I thought jungle map would be more jungle

☹️

[celest spire]

Again the whole purpouse of this beta is to collect feedback

We are still months outs from release so many things could and probably will change based on player feedback

[trim nimbus]

Yeah, I know. Hopefully enough people will bring it up.

[median crag]

cant wait to play again

[outer hazel]

PS5 user here. Can I sign up for the open beta? If so, how? Thanks!

[celest spire]

Open beta is not up yet and likly wont have a sign up process since its open

[outer hazel]

Thanks!

[noble tinsel]

do we have any idea when the sign for consoles on the beta might be like a rough idea?

[jade kayak]

Open beta. Don't need to sign up

[glacial oracle]

Does HLLV have limb modifiers? Or is it still 1 shot kill to the hand?

[glossy lynx]

hope its more updated

[trim nimbus]

Yeah, I’m pretty sure there’s limb modifiers.

[runic kraken]

No chance they are expanding past what it is in hll1

[glacial oracle]

sounds like they lowered damage at least

[runic kraken]

That’s yet to be confirmed, though they damn well better be lowered.
The majority of players on the field being armed with automatics that one shot up to 100m is going to be stupid as hell

[glacial oracle]

Its hell let loose. People arent really interested in a high skill ceiling.
Ill see how it plays when the beta is out.

Honestly Vietnam may just be more suited towards HLL's somewhat ratty gameplay. Hiding in bushes alone, and f*cked up frontlines fit a lot more with this setting.

[runic kraken]

Double down on ratty gameplay on par with teleporting, the devs are on it!
I’ll definitely be checking the values on the open beta.

[glacial oracle]

Well its worked for them so far. The game has been remarkably stable in terms of player count over the years. At some point one has to wonder why the problems don't seem to be problems.

[trim nimbus]

You heard him, devs. Make every weapon one-shot at 500 meters.

[runic kraken]

There’s a not insignificant amount of players that legitimately think that’d be an improvement. Insane.

[celest spire]

id be down with AR's being 2 shot kills from 0 - 150m and then 3 beyond that

and no further drop off

it really isnt hard to 2 tap someone or even do like 1 or 2 controlled bursts at those ranges with intermediate cartridge rifles

rifles staying 1 shot

and smg's being 3 shots out to 150m

[heavy cradle]

Agreed

[trim nimbus]

While I would prefer 1HK up to 100m, 2 shots would be (begrudgingly) acceptable if they make the AK also take 2 shots as well. But if they make the M16 take multiple shots and let the AK one-shot, that’s BS.

Not ideal by a long shot, but tolerable.

Settings for Hell Let Loose, Game Versions & Betas, select the Experimental_branch and close that window. It should auto update HLL to that version.

[forest hamlet]

THank you

facts

[trim nimbus]

Good thing I’m not interested in playing Counter Strike, then.

[glacial oracle]

also hold on the AK has a different 1hk range? Are they doing caliber-based damage models?

[runic kraken]

no one cared enough to check the first go around. Will need to see in the open beta

[unkempt oracle]

Nah i tried, but hitreg was terrible, even on empty servers

[runic kraken]

i'll try to get some actual numbers, im sure the beta servers will go empty pretty quickly

would be easy to test with a friend on the opposing side

[fleet bloom]

does anyone know when the test servers go live?

[glass rapids]

Now

[jade kayak]

For main game, the experiment branch is up. Nothing for Vietnam right now

[worn adder]

how do i get the experimetal branch?

[jade kayak]

See above.

[ruby patrol]

Yo lil bro'. I'm pretty sure images like this are against TOS

[limpid walrus]

how exactly is it

[ruby patrol]

Chances are you'd be slapped under some self-harm rule. Even if it was a joke.

[thorn terrace]

It seemed that in the B-roll footage provided to content creators, the M16’s were firing in bursts - and it seemed too uniform to just be tap firing
Wasn’t the M16 full-auto until the 1980’s?

[kindred hound]

Almost done

[marble obsidian]

The M-16 in Vietnam I had two fire modes single shot or full auto. I played the closed beta and burst isn’t an option. What you witnessed would be controlled bursts.

[thorn terrace]

Interesting, thank you
It seemed like a big oversight to make, but I could kind of see it from a game balance perspective

[tall beacon]

Gebatron has layed out some details on the tunnel systems

[random island]

Seen the vid. Once people understand how they work NVAs Side will be so OP

[celest spire]

they will defo adjust them

[thorn terrace]

-# Or they could just make helis stronger to compensate

[celest spire]

nah the tunnels were busted in the playtest

theres nothing u could add to the helos to compensate

[runic kraken]

These devs really just double downed on teleportation gameplay
Holy

😬

[glass rapids]

Snusmumriken

[celest spire]

ja

[glass rapids]

Är du svensk

[celest spire]

i am but keep this channel to english ;)

[glass rapids]

Jag såg inte svenska kanalen

OK I keep it to eng

[celest spire]

tbf i think the devs partly left the tunnels unchecked to test them

[glass rapids]

Make it only go a bit faster the longer it is the longer movement is

[runic kraken]

there’s not really much they can do to make it interesting against the helicopter

Are Garry rules for both factions the same still?

[glass rapids]

I think so

I Diddy try it

[noble tinsel]

i heard only 5 garrys instead of 8 is this true?

[lone citrus]

Can’t wait to play.

[random island]

Nvas only have 5 garrys and up to 15 tunels. US has the normal 8 garrys

[modern acorn]

i really think they should consider looking into the WW1 theme after HLLV as it has so many things.

[latent mason]

itd propably die like verdun did

not a lot of people like ww1

[fallen scroll]

they should probably start looking at porting ww2 to UE5

[latent mason]

that would likely make a lot of people not be able to play

[unkempt oracle]

Just UE4.27 would do as I think that one allows DLSS

[glass rapids]

Pls no

Make a new ww2 version instead costing only 5 dollars if you have normal hell let loose

Or else my pc can't run ot

It

[rotund fossil]

with what money

hllv not running smoothly on my 3060 so no thanks i guess

[fallen scroll]

let's hope HLL:V is a financial success

[weary oxide]

I don’t see why not, we haven’t had a “good” Vietnam game in a few years.

[balmy osprey]

does beta have any soundtrack?

[fallen scroll]

Only because we didn't have a new Vietnam game doesn't mean it will sell nor will it be good

[last ridge]

do we have a date for the game

[trim nimbus]

I hope the open beta comes soon. I wanna try the game out.

[fallen scroll]

In a month apparently

[celest spire]

yea main menu does

[halcyon loom]

is it Vietnam tunes or just average main menu music

[fathom shoal]

No Vietnam tunes in the beta.

Maybe there'll be some in the future, or maybe not at all.

[celest spire]

i mean its vietnam themed with base, guitar and electronic keys

mixed with asian themes

but ye no licensed music

[balmy osprey]

and how is main menu music?! btw I've find the leaked soundtrack of the canceled burning lands game and it's very cool

[balmy osprey]

Roger

[balmy osprey]

hope some Vietnam themes, there's a big amount of copyright free original Vietnam era music, private press or unreleased recordings some of them even bands formet by vets

[weary oxide]

Yeah but like I said we haven’t had a “good” Vietnam game since the battlefield dlc and rising storm. And that’s been 10 plus years. So there’s hype behind it since the og hll is a “success” all depends on how you look at it. I don’t see why Vietnam won’t be good

[fervent grotto]

I'm more shocked by the fact it's been 10 years.....

[weary oxide]

Right

[fallen scroll]

I can imagine it will be good enough but is it going to be good enough to play it for 100h or 1000h?
I really hope they won't rush the release and fix all the major performance issues first because we've seen so many games to fail for this exact reason and let's not forget about the crazy HW prices of late so people won't be able to easily upgrade to mitigate the bad optimization. Another major factor is the price tag. If they keep it around £45 as for HLL it will be probably okay but any higher might be an issue I think.

[vagrant rock]

It absolutely will be a higher price

They'd be foolish to sell it for 45 bucks only

[fallen scroll]

I am talking £45 ~ $60

[modern acorn]

if its anything above 50AUD i'm not buying it

[azure kindle]

Preorders are $74 AUD at jb hifi so it’s a $40 USD release

[weary oxide]

God I hope so, I put a lot of time between console and pc. Made the full switch at around 200 hr on console. I think if you get a group together shouldn’t be to hard to be the same thing. Not to compare to cod but there is hardcore hll players and im sure with hllv it’ll be the same thing. But we can only hope😅

[modern acorn]

no way its that much. that's robbery in daylight. the game isnt even in that well of a state to be chucking numbers like that

[azure kindle]

Most games are $60-70 usd / $99-125 AUD so 🤷‍♂️

[modern acorn]

well i guess i dont buy high-end games very often it can come as alot. but still ridiculous for people who cant afford it with what's happening now back here. living is survival so making it this much is absolute slack(but i'll buy it anyway,Regardless of the price )

[halcyon loom]

Gimme shelter was the trailer song

[celest spire]

What? Which trailer

[halcyon loom]

First one I think

[celest spire]

No lol

[fathom shoal]

there were a lot of fan edits

which did have a few songs playing over the trailer

[celest spire]

Yea

[glass dome]

Ooh glory to ho chi minh

[random island]

Open Beta when?

[last ridge]

are there weapons on the helicopters?

[vagrant rock]

Yes

[maiden lichen]

Yes

[random island]

Yes

[desert rivet]

Yes

[slow flint]

$40 will be too cheap IMO. Look at original HLL. Ongoing development with new maps and weapons, plus QOL improvements. Best bang for buck FPS I’ve ever had.

[near otter]

If you wanna pay 70 bucks instead I'll happily send you my paypal for the remaining 30

[random island]

I send mine to

[maiden lichen]

Im poor as well

[slow flint]

If you don’t want to pay the $ that’s cool. It’s an individual decision.

Folks that don’t get a game aren’t missed by those playing it

[vagrant rock]

🤷‍♂️ no idea

[last ridge]

i mean it would be hard to know if you dont play the game

cant wait to play macarena slowed while flying

[maiden lichen]

Yes, you need to give @near otter 30€.

[jaunty belfry]

I hope this game can live up to the hype in my head

[lone citrus]

The open beta is this month right?

[latent mason]

Yeah

I hope it starts soon

[lone citrus]

Ty and same

[modern acorn]

month is nearly halfway over now and we haven't gotten an announcement in a while. wonder what the delay is

[random island]

Well the month is Not over yet.

[weary oxide]

Everytime someone asks they extend it by one day😀

[tall beacon]

Easier to keep hype in check

[ripe star]

i think playtest will be in few weeks

[magic flower]

does anyone know how to verify our Discord account so I can link the account for the Beta sign up??

[jade kayak]

Close beta already passed. Open beta will be next.

[latent mason]

In a few weeks it will be june

Theres only 2 weeks remaining if we dont count this week

[celest spire]

ive been saying late may and thats what i think it will be

allows them the most time to update their playable build

cuz playable builds are always a few weeks or months older then the latest dev builds

[random island]

Yeah Would make allot of Sense that They Release the Open Beta at the end of the month

[tacit needle]

maybe its better they take their time, and only anounce a date when they are very sure they can make it

otherwise we start crying for missing the deadline, or publishing a bad beta
