[thick parcel]

there are. You cant just see them.

[delicate juniper]

rly

?

sorry then I assumed since I am veteran I have access to the most general stuff

[thick parcel]

Yea - i was again months ago here. But had left the Discord for some time - now i came back and i am a conscript

now i see strange channels

And i want to get the regular role back 😠

[delicate juniper]

so... you can't see normal mess hall

but what for are 2 sets of feedback channels?

[thick parcel]

Yep

cant see the normal mess hall, cant see supporters mess halt

[delicate juniper]

#new-member-feedback cause this is something I can't see... why would new guys need separate feedback channel?

can you guys check for how long has it been up?

[thick parcel]

i have no idea

[dawn widget]

the first massage is from 25/07/2021

#mess-hall as well

[delicate juniper]

I see you are new new... can you accept me in discord? I would like to ask a thing or two if that's ok

@dawn widget

[alpine musk]

Funny how they slit playerbade

[thick parcel]

Yea - im also a Veteran. Cant see anything 😄

[alpine musk]

I wanted to come see if this was real after i heard of this bs🤣

[dawn widget]

what's wrong with it?

[thick parcel]

you cant talk with veteran players

@glad pasture can i have my veteran rank back?

[dawn widget]

I can... sam, chum, jaguar... they can talk I have seen the messages

all have the veteran ranks

[thick parcel]

@dawn widgetyou cant look at the "supporters-mess-hall" which is the main area

[alpine musk]

Funny how veteran chanels don't have emojis on use and slow mode is active unlike here

[delicate juniper]

I guess the new guys do not tend to resist too much against the game's direction

or have no knowledge about it

the easy audience basically

[alpine musk]

They don't want veterans spoil fresh meat

[dawn widget]

what's happening?

DM me if forbidden topic 😄

[cobalt chasm]

I heard the new update made performance worse.

[delicate juniper]

on the contrary... performance-wise only Stalingrad runs bad

[uncut wolf]

i get a lot of stutters on st marie now, but otherwise seems fine. Haven't played on stalingrad yet

[cobalt chasm]

I haven't played yet. Been at work all day. But seeing lots of people complaining about it worried me.

[craggy wadi]

bingo

[delicate juniper]

better removed xD

[alpine musk]

No i left and come back just for lolz

[delicate juniper]

aah, I thought you are someone I knew with colored name 😃

[alpine musk]

And BRRRRRRAP

Only white name been around from start of ea

[dawn widget]

so colored names are all veterans right

[cobalt chasm]

What makes you a vet?

[dawn widget]

I was about to ask... how does one level up

[alpine musk]

Kurks and dumont runs fine, but have 2d trees and mud houses

[cobalt chasm]

LOL

I hope they make more obtainable cosmetic dlc.

[alpine musk]

Vets are guys who started play at alpha-ea(early)

[delicate juniper]

yeah you can't level up

[cobalt chasm]

What's considered alpha?

[alpine musk]

Funny thing is they are making ps look good if this goes on

[cobalt chasm]

I haven't touched PS, hear it's a dying game.

[dawn widget]

how can I get acess to the other hidden chanels then

where the veterans are

[cobalt chasm]

I presumed you leveled up as you talked but i guess not.

[delicate juniper]

it has low numbers yeah

but I don't think it's dead

it has been like that for ages

[delicate juniper]

no idea 😄

[cobalt chasm]

I remember trying to decide between HLL and PS, glad I went with HLL.

[delicate juniper]

the only downside of PS is graphics, but otherwise it's a good game

[cobalt chasm]

LOL

[delicate juniper]

well hardly I can know about something I never seen @dawn widget

[fleet briar]

Is the rear echelon dlc only for the kickstarter backers?

[cobalt chasm]

I don't think anybody knows @fleet briar

[fleet briar]

ill be really disappointed if it is

id buy it if I could

but if they lock it like that itll suck

[cobalt chasm]

Im pretty sure it'll be locked.

@fleet briar

Doesn't make sense for them to drop 2 public DLCs and not a third.

Most likely for KS peeps as a thank yaww

[delicate juniper]

I would better accept different kind of thanks... like... keeping the game in the advertised direction

[cobalt chasm]

LOL

[delicate juniper]

check DMs

don't want to get kicked for telling the truth in the public (or server-wide muted xD )

[cobalt chasm]

yikes

[fast stone]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1647960/Hell_Let_Loose__Silver_Vanguard_DLC/

Steam

Hell Let Loose – Silver Vanguard DLC

Unlock access to join the Silver Vanguard and take to the front lines with an array of unique helmets and uniforms. Roll up your sleeves and get stuck into the thick of it with the German forces, blend into the background in the Soviet “Ameba” camo helmet or take to the US tanks and show off the “Hell on Wheels” jacket!

[fleet briar]

dm me too lol

[delicate juniper]

1 guy... ok

but pls don't ask me to send DMs to all new people here 😄

[fleet briar]

okay

[delicate juniper]

in short, backers in general expected more deeper and more complex game (hardcore realistic war simulator), while we have one within more arcade genre

but for you new guys it is not bad

so don't take every my word applied to you,... the fact you are here and are new means that you like the game as it is

[fleet briar]

im not new actually

ive been playing for about 9 months

[delicate juniper]

that's about the date when the game started to stray away from the original direction

[fleet briar]

ah

[gentle lichen]

Yep

[delicate juniper]

so if you guys were not here since the kickstarter, I guess you have your own expectations which differ from the one of the kikcstarter backers

and so you likely won't notice any problem

[cobalt chasm]

I haven't been here since the KS so I'm not entirely sure what they were promising to deliver. But as of right now, playing for several months, it seems fine to me.

But that's my opinion

[brisk barn]

I hear that's what happened with PS too.

[delicate juniper]

Zorpi was right, I guess my presence here is just spoiling 😄

[cobalt chasm]

And I'm sure that they did it for their own reasons.

[gentle lichen]

I bought the game on october 2019 and followed the game month before that.

[cobalt chasm]

LOL

[delicate juniper]

sry... in this channel of new people that would definitelly be considered as a malicious act in eyes of mods and devs 😄

btw., it's not a story

[cobalt chasm]

I mean who cares it's just a discussion 😋

[delicate juniper]

oh believe me they care

I have been muted today, wasn't able to post any messages

[cobalt chasm]

I know they would care.

It's just silly to care about a civil discussion.

This is usually why I rarely join discords like this. I just joined because i like HLL a lot.

[delicate juniper]

yeah - if you like the game, stick to it, avoid text channels of drama

[cobalt chasm]

That's probably the best advice

Just thought I might link up with people I play often here with

Oh well!

[thick parcel]

@delicate juniperwhich simulation? 🤔

@urban bronze can u give me my veteran rank back? ô,ô

[delicate juniper]

huh?

you mean my "hardcore realistic war simulator" words usage?

if so, HLL kickstarter page will tell it more precisely than I would https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/blackmatter/hell-let-loose

[ebon hound]

Not that I care to make arguments either way, nor do I think the game has to take any specific direction, BUT it does say this in the Kickstarter page:

Bottom sentence

[delicate juniper]

yeah

[dawn widget]

so there will be even bigger maps? I see 4km2

[atomic pulsar]

I don't think there's any plan to change map size

[delicate juniper]

nah, that was one of the 1st losses HLL took @dawn widget

there were 4km2 maps, but not anymore

[atomic pulsar]

☝️

[delicate juniper]

actually 1 map, the 1st one - SMdM

[atomic pulsar]

now they are 2x1.2km

[trim badge]

lol had the game a year and still cant figure out how to get the DLC

[thick parcel]

today it is an arcade arena shooter

[atomic pulsar]

which dlc are you trying to get?

[trim badge]

any that i am eligible for

[cobalt chasm]

Steam page

[delicate juniper]

and then there were the losses I mentioned you in DMs

[trim badge]

only 1 there

[cobalt chasm]

Which

[trim badge]

how do you get these

[cobalt chasm]

KS

[atomic pulsar]

You can purchase Lethal Tides via Steam

[cobalt chasm]

Or buy lethal tide

[atomic pulsar]

The Summer and Winter seasonal dlcs are free, but are only launched for short periods of the year. They'll be back at some point, devs/mods usually let everyone know

[cobalt chasm]

^

[median ivy]

Any news on Next Gen Consoles?

[fringe canopy]

When will be out Rear Echelon DLC?

[median ivy]

🥺

[cobalt chasm]

Next gen end of 2021

[median ivy]

Play test signup?

[cobalt chasm]

Don't believe there's one yet

[median ivy]

😦

[cobalt chasm]

Sorry

[median ivy]

Ty

[dawn widget]

so anybody knows what to do here to level up? any required playtime threshold or whatever?

i mean how to get to the other messhall

maybe I can spoil some veterans too

[hard obsidian]

That’s what I was wondering I don’t understand why we can’t just go to the other mess hall

[uncut wolf]

kinda weird that there's no details on it either

[onyx surge]

I guess you are trapped here

[quick frost]

probably just to combat the influx

so people who have been here can communicate without constant beginner questions is my bet

[dawn widget]

https://tenor.com/view/meow-save-me-megan-mullally-will-and-grace-karen-walker-gif-18050278

me, who had the game since: Jun 9, 2019 😂

no, you are one of us!

[delicate juniper]

in comparison to our messhall, you guys are like VIP here - emojis enabled, even the GIFs are playing, pictures allowed too...

I feel like it is us veterans who are in worse position

we have nothing of such in our channels

well... babies are innocent yet, right? 😄

[hasty tinsel]

Sam get out of the kiddie pool

[onyx surge]

I missed seeing reactions

[delicate juniper]

cmoon mate

[thorn gull]

Dude why are the soviet having so limited arsenal

Maxim tokarev, ppd, pps 43
Also another version of degtyarev

Where is all that

[spice tartan]

The game is more a teaching moment about how expectations are never met rather than a shooter so it doesnt need a large arsenal

[tropic yacht]

Wait so when does the Lethal Tide DLC come out?

Or is it already out

[atomic pulsar]

Already out

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1647962/Hell_Let_Loose__Lethal_Tide_DLC/

Steam

Hell Let Loose – Lethal Tide DLC

Unlock access to the Lethal Tide DLC.

Price

$4.99

[tropic yacht]

Thanks!

[atomic pulsar]

I got there eventually with the right link

[tropic yacht]

For whatever reason I could only find the Silver Vanguard DLC on the store page, not Lethal Tide

[atomic pulsar]

I've found them hard to find before

Normally go here and set to new releases

https://store.steampowered.com/dlc/686810/Hell_Let_Loose/

[tropic yacht]

Also, what is the soviet victory song?

I've been curious to know but I havent had the time to play a full match today

[reef wigeon]

Wait rear echelons dlc and all that are just for early backers?

[atomic pulsar]

Invincible and Legendary

I think

[delicate juniper]

@tropic yacht All used music in HLL is at the end of the Credits:

hall is right

[eternal sphinx]

I think so unfortunately

[noble torrent]

<@&365680483276816385> Hi, I just got an email with a Steam DLC key for HLL but never received one for the game itself. Any help?

P.S. I'm a Recruit level Kickstarter Backer. Thanks

[glad pasture]

These were sent out by Dev Spono today and are legit check the keycode and activate in STEAM follow the instructions

[surreal elm]

hm, you should have been sent a game key 2 years ago

So you havent had the game this whole time?

[hard obsidian]

Are we supposed to get new copy’s of the game?

[glad pasture]

No just update 10 patch

[surreal elm]

No, if you were a Kickstarter backer in 2017-18, you will have received DLC keys via email

[hard obsidian]

Oh ok

Are the dlcs just Cosmetic

[surreal elm]

yeah

[noble torrent]

Correct

[surreal elm]

interesting. If you search for the email from 2 years ago and it's still not in your inbox anywhere, send a DM to Spono

[noble torrent]

Already did. Don't appear to have ever received a code for the original game.

Haven't sent a DM yet!

[dawn widget]

We receive the email on the email box that paid for the kickstarter? or on that associated with steam?

[surreal elm]

I believe it's the kickstarter one

[dawn widget]

ok, its for that, im vet, but cant remember this old email box 😄

im backer from the second wave in 2017

im try to dm sponno, thx for informations !

[noble torrent]

DM sent. Thanks for the help!

[surreal elm]

👍

[amber pelican]

Is there only one buy-able dlc right now other than the free one?

[surreal elm]

i believe so. other DLC are for kickstarter backers

[amber pelican]

Ahh I see bc I bought the lethal tide one so I was just wondering if there was anymore.

[limber scarab]

Whats the difference between the two rifles in the soviet rifleman load out?

[short sage]

is "not one step back" DLC a early backers DLC?

[tropic yacht]

Alright, thank you!

[delicate juniper]

always glad to help...although you are probably the last one I helped around here though

[frozen kindle]

when did this game ever have 40+ queues for a server!!!

[atomic pulsar]

Mosin Nagant M38 (second one) - quicker bolt time, but lower damage (shorter distance for a 1 hit kill)

[frozen kindle]

I mean congrats to the Devs, but I hope there will be more servers to combat this increase in players if this is rlly happening

[olive totem]

Is this the right place to ask about where the rear echelon DLC is

Sorry I know I’m probably like the millionth person to ask

[atomic pulsar]

At the moment Rear Echelon DLC is accessible to Kickstarter Backers

[olive totem]

Ah

[frozen kindle]

darn, hopefully not forever

[olive totem]

That goggles helmet looks so good I might just have to be a backer lmao

[slim fractal]

Which server has +40 queue? Screenshot please.

[frozen kindle]

well it dropped to 10

sry, should have though

I was getting alot of "server queue full, try again later" until I got this one

[hard obsidian]

Can you still become a backer to get the dlc

[slim fractal]

And i just checked at the peak there was +280 servers online. Accomodating +28000 players. Peak wasnt even at 14000.

[frozen kindle]

darn, i must be hitting the wrong servers

[slim fractal]

No, Kickstarter was a thing in 2017-2018.

[olive totem]

I’m looking at the prices and it looks like you gotta pay like $130 to be eligible for the helmets and other stuff

[slim fractal]

Nah

[olive totem]

Oh nvm it’s not even a thing anymore

[slim fractal]

Yup

[olive totem]

Welp hopefully they’ll have mercy on us and sell us the DLC lol

[hard obsidian]

Ah ok

[tropic yacht]

I was honestly kind of upset that the Soviet victory song wasnt Red Army is the Strongest, but listening to the current song I completely agree with the music choice

[olive totem]

Yeah it’s a banger

[dawn widget]

im not necesarilly new but i still dont really know

how do i get the other DLCs

like the ones with the motorcycle goggles and stuff

[olive totem]

Can’t get them yet

[hard obsidian]

Should’ve been the Soviet anthem

[olive totem]

Scroll up a bit and you’ll see why

[dawn widget]

i disagree, shouldhave been slovianka

[olive totem]

I’m glad it wasn’t the Soviet anthem, it’s so overused lol

[slim fractal]

Or see #telegrams

[dawn widget]

yet, but we will be able to buy them or something like that right

[olive totem]

Probably

Since we can see them I’d imagine we’ll get them eventually

[dawn widget]

that was the rear echleon right?

my games in polish i cant tell

[olive totem]

Yeah

[dawn widget]

aight

[olive totem]

The goggles helmets and stuff

[dawn widget]

yeah yeah yeah

[olive totem]

I really just want the US one

I never play Germany lol

[dawn widget]

i dont judge you

i really dont

[limber scarab]

Thanks

[white bough]

Me and my buddy are thinking about getting HLL, but we do not want to get it and only have the two of us playing it. Is there anyone looking for people to get into the game with?

[lost yoke]

ah see the thinking asbout getting it saved me right there. totally thought you had to get the game to be in the server

im too poor for the game rn 😢

[lost yoke]

gimme like a few weeks and il play with ya

[white bough]

Bet bet

[lean orchid]

You may be interested to know that there are many HLL Communities, some of which host their own servers. Playing in these communities is a good way to make new friends, so you always have teammates you can talk to 🙂

https://www.reddit.com/r/HellLetLoose/wiki/hll_communities

[white bough]

Thank you

[cobalt glen]

Do devs read this channel?

[urban bronze]

Yep

[cobalt glen]

I posted about one of the new guns in the feedback section. I was hoping one might see it.

[amber dirge]

anyone else having issues with lost connection to host

[verbal sigil]

I get it decently often when the map changes, did have it happen once today during a match on Stalingrad too

[dawn widget]

where can iget an image o the roadmap

also

holdup

did they change their mind about drivable civilian vehicles

please someone tell me this is just an oversight

[dawn widget]

Hello

I have a question

Is the game out of early access now?

[hushed fossil]

anyone know where to get the rear echelon dlc? i want it so bad

[dawn widget]

kickstarter supporters only from 2017

[hushed fossil]

oh dam

[fickle bronze]

Is it impossible to get the 2 other DLCs now?

[ornate prairie]

they are seasonal

[rancid nova]

why does it run worse each update

[hard obsidian]

Is the optimization that bad haven’t played yet

[ornate prairie]

its unplayable on stalingrad for me and alot of people i know

Kursk and new Du-mont maps are okay though

[hard obsidian]

What card do you have

[ornate prairie]

2080

[hard obsidian]

Sheesh even on low settings

[ornate prairie]

yah

[hard obsidian]

That’s really unacceptable

[ornate prairie]

its microstutters that make it unplayable. I get a microstutter every 7-8 seconds on stalingrad, which.. is the difference in some gun fights

also killed alot of people that you could see were having the same problem, (turning too far for example)

[hard obsidian]

What about the other maps in general

[ornate prairie]

other maps seem fine

[hard obsidian]

Ok

[rancid nova]

i dont care about new content if i cant run it

[hard obsidian]

Exactly

[ornate prairie]

if you guys played carentan when that first came out.. kinda the same vibes for stalingrad. I was lucky enough that it didnt effect me so much.. but it would appear you need a 3080 to dodge it this time xD

[fervent nest]

carentan was the last time I played till tonight, that was awful, stalingrad is bad but not the worst I've had and im running a 1650S

[wind crater]

Uber late here, but does that include the Rear Echelon and the No Retreat DLC?

Seems as if those two DLC’s are kinda in limbo right now

[quasi pine]

Rear Echelon looks great. Id buy it if i could ha

[ornate prairie]

no, only the summer and winter

[wind crater]

Yeah I imagined that was the case. Just seems strange how the cosmetics are there but unavailable for purchase.

[quick frost]

i feel like this game cares more about ram and cpu than GPU

i’m rocking a 1060 6g and i’m doing fine

[hard obsidian]

What’s in the rear echelon

[digital furnace]

i got a 1070 and it’s playable for me

[lean orchid]

Just so you guys know, I'm running a 5900x processor and a 3090 and play on epic settings most of the time. In Stalingrad, I get 45 fps right now.

There are some parts of the game that will continue to be optimized as time goes on. This is especially true for new maps.

I mention this so you all don't feel overly compelled to purchase a new PC to enjoy HLL.

[plain dagger]

Hello, i'm really excited for future updates after recently viewing the roadmap. I was really expecting british to arrive soon but wondering how maps are going to be. Im guessing some maps are based in the North Africa campaign.

I recently got in an argument about how theres no point for those maps to be in a desert.

[lean orchid]

I don't know what maps specifically are being introduced with the British, short of what was mentioned in the Kickstarter: The Market Garden maps.

North Africa would be an excellent addition to the game though! 😄

[plain dagger]

I was thinking El Alamein is a good british candidate

Diversity would be nice to have in game, instead of forest, eastern front, western, forest, more forest

[dawn widget]

Fps optimations coming?

^

[dawn widget]

Ouch..

[normal pike]

I'm on i5-9600KF, 1080, 1440p and get around 50-60fps, everything on Epic.... ?

[dawn widget]

lol

i have 950m and i have 20 fps

[normal pike]

https://tenor.com/view/umm-my-bad-sorry-yikes-guilty-gif-17147105

[dawn widget]

Im poor

[verbal sigil]

man this game is all over the place - I'm on a 9700k and GTX 1080 at 1440p, I get 60-80 on Stalingrad, mix of High and Epic settings

you at 4K?

[lean orchid]

Processor performance certainly helps. Don't get me wrong, I have moments in Stalingrad where I'm alone and getting 60-70. But in the middle of the action, on the trainyard, I'm at 45

I run at 1440p

[verbal sigil]

hm yeah, I do see a lot of reports like this - it's like when Carentan first came out, which did get better over time

heck even PHL was a frame killer for a bit

[tulip wasp]

Do yall like it? Thinking about getting it

[hardy escarp]

has the performance in this game been fixed in the recent update, last time i played on my gtx 1080 and i76700k it was laggy af like 40-50fps

[mortal haven]

This update has included a lot of optimization changes

Also if you haven't already try out the -dx12 launch option

[alpine musk]

You mean lovering all lod models so that trees and bushes look like 2d paper models afther 50m and buildings look like african clay huts?

[quartz herald]

You can toggle that distance? Maybe just increase your distance

[gloomy grove]

2 questions with your set up:

1. Is your GPU utilisation high? Or does it sit down at like 30%?

2. Does Nvidia have a downsampler built in? AMD can render at a high resolution and then downscale to your native one on any game. @spiral compass and his 6900XT runs the game at 5K downscaled to 1440p with no noticeable change in frame rate, but higher quality textures and his GPU actually gets used up a bit more

[gloomy grove]

Running any launch parameters?

[limpid rune]

who can suggest a server that has good playerbase where people play in team. REALLY PLAY IN TEAM

[vital sparrow]

Hey guys I'm just wondering if there are any Asian servers

[little willow]

Wouldnt that be a division?

[limpid rune]

server bruh

[little willow]

Ik but figured a division would be similar

Since some of em own servers

[alpine musk]

Can't do that after ini files were locked

[slim fractal]

Hard to achieve with modern playerbase. You can't have whole team playing as a team in any public server. Private events are a different thing and if people want proper teamwork, they should browse through #pc-divisions-recruitment for suitable community/clan/unit and join them.

[mystic zephyr]

It's been awhile since I last played this, I refunded because people in Asian servers before played it like it's BFV and joining other region would kick me for high ping. I'm wondering, would you still get kicked for joining American servers or other regions for having high ping? I really would love to play this game again but the people in Asian servers are unbearable lmao.

I would like to start playing with someone humans to understand the game

[craggy wadi]

Join a server and get into a humans team and you can talk in-game to the SL and he can guide you through your first steps. Do you speak english or prefer to use other language ?

[rose field]

I'd rather to speak english despite I'm Italian

server can be found here or in game browser?

[craggy wadi]

in-game click on ENLIST

puoi anche cercare un server in italiano, non sono sicuro se troverai ...
c'e anche #italian channel

[tall charm]

anyone wanna play im brand new tho

[primal sierra]

So I've been searching through the discord for mentions of Modkit/devkit etc but nothing found which I find odd that noone mentioned before (or thats because I'm a newbie here and can't see all channels?)

[craggy wadi]

There is none

[primal sierra]

I know that but no plans either?

Like I was mainly hoping to see something if the devs have interest in a modkit or that there are plans for it or not

[ivory loom]

no plans either

[slim fractal]

No plans. They fear.

[primal sierra]

Hmm okay, I kinda understand that perspective like enjoy the game how it is and all but I've had issues really enjoying it in some occasions so I thought a modkit would open up things more, also people making new locations/maps with their assets would be sick

[ivory loom]

you know how to code?

[tranquil zenith]

That assumes they want the community touching anything

[primal sierra]

I've been using UE4 since 2017 , I knew nothing about it or coding, I do know blueprinting now

I think I have around 4-5k hours in UE4 which isnt that much either

[ivory loom]

no idea how good that is when it comes to developing a game, but developing a game would be a good idea

[primal sierra]

I enjoy mapping more and messing around with tools 😅

[spice tartan]

They dont want any of the servers to feel different with respect to each other

All the same god game that they come up with in their pantheon of god game developers

[shadow sinew]

Ey guys I have a very important question

Can you run it confirmed that I would be able to run the game as I cover the minimum requrments(I dont have the best device) but i heard that the game is highly unoptimized should I get it anyway?

[spice tartan]

What exactly do you want to run it on, important question man?

[shadow sinew]

my laptop

[spice tartan]

And what is in your laptop

[shadow sinew]

i cna send a pic with what i got

one moment

I am completely clueless when it comes to hardware most of the time

[spice tartan]

I am checking with some clanmates, just a sec

[shadow sinew]

i am not in a rush

[spice tartan]

Based on what the answers were, I dont think you would enjoy the game

Apparently people tried with 16gb ram but the same gpu as you and it was unplayable for them

[shadow sinew]

I see, well I happy that I check in here before I brought the game, thank you for your time mate!

[spice tartan]

Sure mate

[viscid juniper]

Oh ok it's only for Kickstarter? Sorry I didn't understand it

[tropic yacht]

Can mines (AT or AP) kill friendlies? If triggered by an enemy?

[gloomy grove]

Yes

[atomic pulsar]

yes, or if accidentally triggered by a friendly (arty/tank etc)

[atomic pulsar]

It can happen 🤷 I've found it best to drop a sry in chat

most people move on if its accidental

[trim badge]

stalingrad is such a badly made map

[rich forum]

^ unpopular opinion

[dawn widget]

how isn't it badly made?

[trim badge]

almost everyone ive played with agrees its bad

[dawn widget]

have u seen how in tanks on the new maps at a distance stuff like vehicles doesn't render in.

[rich forum]

You playing on the losing team all the time?

don't play armor on stalingrad

[trim badge]

exactly

[ivory loom]

what are the reasons for it

not surprising if it's hard to play on without getting killed or something, considering it's a fairly accurate replica of the actual location😄

[tranquil zenith]

It's less that as much as the design is lacking

People dislike the density of people, the changes of spacial concentration, the lane-based combat, etc

[white obsidian]

I think Stalingrad is a very good map, the thing is that it runs like shit

[tulip wasp]

is there no comms in sniper/recon class? wont let me text or voice

now i dont have a teammate either but i mean to everyone else

[autumn rose]

I think stalingrad is good for what its supposed to be, a brutal mostly cqb map, I just wish it ran better

[azure vine]

I don't camp Stalingrad for the tactics, I do so for the FPS gain if I stare a brick wall in a ruined factory

[autumn rose]

Lmao

[median ivy]

Will there be a technical test for HLL Console? If so how do we sign up

[sharp heart]

Can i ask why new players try grenading tanks? We lost a match because of it but seeing it alot today

A guy by the name Calenard lost the war today

Long story short the whole team chased him and got him with a shovel after that major incident

[tropic yacht]

For whatever reason I was kicked for high ping despite only being around 112 ping

I kinda feel like a dick because I was the gunner in a tank crew currently in combat

[sharp heart]

I would assume servers have there own rules @tropic yacht But im not sure

[normal pike]

The spotter class has leadership comms, but not sniper. What role were you playing?

[tropic yacht]

It was one of the HLL official servers

[normal pike]

May have been the VoIP bug too

[normal pike]

I'm not sure on official ones, but we run a 500ms ping limit in our community server. Sometimes it spikes above that and can kick players. I cannot remember if there is a time duration that the ping must exceed the limit for before kicking.

[tropic yacht]

Alright, thanks for the info

Sometimes my PC gets pretty bad wifi but I've never really had over 500 for more than a couple seconds

I might have to check the router

[normal pike]

That could be it mate, a few seconds may be enough. Where are you located?

[digital furnace]

get ethernet

[tropic yacht]

The good ol' rural west coast

Definitely a wifi problem on my end, not the game

[hollow thorn]

any news on the two other DLCs

[dawn widget]

they are both kickstarter rewards if you mean no retreat and rear echelon

[hollow thorn]

yeah, just confused about it as i also heard they where paid DLC as well

[hard obsidian]

There is a lethal tide dlc you can buy

[fast stone]

Pro tip: Use spacebar as a handbrake when driving trucks to make tighter turns.

[viral gate]

I have learned something new this day, Thank you for bringing this to light

[crimson drum]

Why does it sometimes feel that enemies see little to no grass?

[gloomy grove]

Sometimes grass doesn't load properly.

Sometimes you're just not actually hidden

[crimson drum]

There isnt some setting that makes you see less grass?

[gloomy grove]

Well, medium settings maybe? But not really. Not so much anymore. Grass/wheat sometimes takes a second to load in after spawn and that can be enough

[slim fractal]

Just played in Kursk and it might be just as well without any grass as it doesn't seem to render beyond 150m

[gloomy grove]

Yeah, Kursk is pretty bad. It's new players in here though Tuo. No bad comments please

[slim fractal]

Sorry, only feel good comments.

HLL IS AWESOME

[astral pagoda]

Medium foliage settings should make you render grass only at closer distances iirc, but eventually it stops rendering for basically everyone at 150/200m

[unkempt storm]

Do you have confirmation of this? From what I see, kickstarters only get an “Italian camo” and lethal tide for free, there’s no mention of echelon or retreat anywhere. Didn’t think they were released yet.

[atomic pulsar]

Can confirm that the KS backers received Italian camo (Major), Rear Echelon, and No Retreat.

[sly turtle]

Any good Gameplay videos of this I should check out? I just found out about this yesterday. Also, interested in the game mode and seeing how the "battlefield dynamically changes?" Thanks for eveyones help!

[gloomy grove]

People seem to enjoy Fresh Baked Goods and Alpine Sniper off the top of my head for regular gameplay. Monoespecial is good for the tutorial scene and the competitive scene

[glad pasture]

Before jumping in at the deep end watch this first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaY27yiOPPA

[digital furnace]

monoespecial is very informative

[sage hearth]

this game is too tough

can any one help me to play the game the way it meant to be

[gloomy grove]

Slow down. Stop running. Look with your eyes, not with your mouse (i.e. don't move the camera constantly). Use your map to see where your team mates are, and which way they're facing (they're usually looking at enemies). Don't run in the open. Assume you're being looked at all the time. Pay attention to where your team mates died

[sage hearth]

never played this kind of game so everything looks so tough

wish developers add some quick game modes too,also i dont think there is any offline modes

[gloomy grove]

It's a 50v50 game with everything designed around that, a quick 10 minute game mode wouldn't work.

No offline either, correct

You get used to the game though. It's not Battlefield or CoD for sure. It's a middle ground between those and proper Milsim games

[hasty tinsel]

check pins for a wwii training film that displays how tactics should be played in HLL 👍

[sage hearth]

right...hope i will find some people who know & play together(not 10-12 hours but few quick games)

[hasty tinsel]

Alpine sniper also has good gameplay videos

[gloomy grove]

#pc-divisions-recruitment is a good place to find communities to play with. #pc-looking-for-unit

[sage hearth]

this game needs a ping limit for servers

playing against 300ms is a complete meme

[lean orchid]

This is something best for #new-member-feedback , but I'll let you know that communities have the ability to set ping limits for themselves. Some are higher, others are lower.

[dawn widget]

what does mean that #freemonke

ooooh ok, never heard about the guy; happened in the other messhall I guess

[dawn widget]

i like the look of the guide, like a real old book

also the pictures in it

funny and very well made

[slim fractal]

That's why they isolated this place and the channels we can't see, the other #mess-hall and #new-player-feedback 😄

why does the voip stop working sometimes

pressing X and it doesnt even bring up the mic indicator

[dawn widget]

don't use a mic like me and the problem will be gone

[dawn widget]

I am curious - do you veteran guys think HLL was worthy of buying?

[shut forge]

@dawn widget I've gotten my enjoyment out of it. But in its current state, no, absolutely not

[dawn widget]

thanks, just wanted to ask because some other new guys in our feedback are wondering about the HLL worthiness

I would ask what's wrong with HLL, but from what few vets told me so far I think it would be a very long discussion

[dawn widget]

but you are not a veteran are you? no roles 😕

no conscript either though 🤔

[trim badge]

your roles dont mean shit

[dawn widget]

in any case, I guess he has optimization and the bugs on his mind

[trim badge]

im enjoying the game right now, about 50 hours play time

[dawn widget]

in a pretty short time I managed to see quite a few bugs/problems already

i am still <10 hours

[trim badge]

some noticeable bugs here and there but overall i'm having a better experience than on squad for example

HLL seems more forgiving in terms of teamwork

[dawn widget]

yeah

[trim badge]

squad is a good game but the emphasis on teamwork is too much given how little most players use there microphones these days

[dawn widget]

in HLL very few do either

in that regard it feels like BF most of time

mostly just players with some clantags speak here in HLL

[normal pike]

I enjoy the game a lot. I'm a part of a great community and the standard of playing is higher than most due to the smaller numbers and regular players. I'm only about 1200 hours in. I play everything except recon and AT, main is armour.

[median ivy]

So how do we go about signing up for Console Test?

4 months till end of 2021

[shut forge]

1400 hours. Lvl 244. Played some clan matches as well. I'd say I'm a veteran yeah

[dawn widget]

,

😮

that's quite a lot, surely more than enough for being able to say such a statement like you did then

[dull blaze]

Im so sad I cant play stalingrad with consistent FPS

I get 60 at the spawn but then barely 30 inside the map with a lot of framedrops

[orchid frigate]

they should add dragging people when there down to bring them to medics and get them away from explosions

[dawn widget]

That sounds cool

[copper dirge]

test

[trim badge]

how do you place another outpost without picking up your old one

[prime quartz]

cant

When you place a new OP it will get rid of your old one

garrisons you can place multiple of

[rancid cipher]

dude.

[plucky rapids]

😂

[crimson badger]

[jolly plank]

Indeed! It's something else - compared to mainstream first person shooters.

I'm glad I decided to buy this game.

Here's hoping it will grow and prosper!

[normal pike]

Finding a good community makes the game far, far more enjoyable than constant randoms. I was never one to join a clan or community but it's really raised my enjoyment of the game.

[austere stratus]

Just got into HLL, was frustrated at the first hours. Feels like walking and get dinged on the head simulator then I got into Support/Engie/Medic role

Is there a general rule/guidelines for engies?

[frosty horizon]

build nodes for your boys in command

i think that's the minimum of what you need to do

[austere stratus]

What about defensive structures? I’m a bit reluctant to build defensives on warfare in fear of getting push back and my stuffs gets used against us

[astral pagoda]

With the current meta work close with your support or ask permission to the Squad Leader/Commander to take a supply truck to build nodes in your HQ, where they are safe

[frosty horizon]

I think with the defensive structures you should build them where the enemy will most likely come from and people usually just bee line it straight to the next point

[astral pagoda]

Build defenses only if there are already enough nodes built and if there is a supplies surplus in the area

[frosty horizon]

yeah listen to pudduh all i do in HLL is complain when a rocket bounces off of a tank

[astral pagoda]

Chance is that if there are supplies on the ground they are meant for a garrison or for backup to build another garrison, so you should always check and ask officers

[warped gale]

Most of the time when you build bunkers and barbed wire they'll be useful only against enemies coming from one direction. If the enemy caps the point, those defenses will be "facing the wrong direction" in essence, so their value is reduced. And hey, if you build a good fortress and some SLs slap a few good garries, you should not lose that point duh

[austere stratus]

In the case of Command and SL not responding, is it legit strat to be support putting supplies the suicide back to engie? Plenty of times where comm just doesnt respond to me

[astral pagoda]

If command is silent and the support role is open yes of course. At that point it is up to you to decide wether or not the situation requires certain structures

[austere stratus]

Can engies build multiple nodes of the same type?

I mean a single engi

[astral pagoda]

Right now a single engineer can build a complete set of nodes iirc, i.e. one of each type

[austere stratus]

Ah gotcha

I gotta say I’m enjoying Engineer a lot more than frontline classes

Tried medic but people keep dying in the open which in turn kills me because enemy MG just keeps shooting in the smoke

[austere stratus]

One more question, I really thank you for the help: Is it a legit strat to be a supply trucker and bringing supplies back and forth? Or is that a waste of time

[astral pagoda]

Yeah medic rn is only useful to keep a push/defense alive for a little bit longer or to support your SL when there's no outpost down yet

[astral pagoda]

I never play commander so I can't tell you if it is a good or bad strat honestly. What I can tell you is that having a surplus of supplies on a defensive point cannot do any harm, especially if built in a fashion that enables the team to rebuild defensive garries in key locations (if the ones already existent are lost of course). So I would say be flexible with the placements and don't overdo it

[austere stratus]

Okay thanks for the help! I’m only 30 hours in but I think the flow of the game finally clicked for me

Starting to enjoy it more than before

[astral pagoda]

Glad to be of help when you need it!

[gloomy grove]

You'll only need to do a few trips. Make sure you drop them off in proper locations. I.e. not the middle of the road so tanks can't pass, and not all in the same spot as they only have a small usable radius. Put them where defences look useful

[crimson badger]

Driving the supply truck is fun, but a PITA on Kursk

So many trenches the truck can drive into

😩

[craggy wadi]

did you buy HLL to do this farming sht with the arty?

then why do it ?

[dawn widget]

with node building it seems to be good way to unlock the initial kits

at least for starters

[craggy wadi]

No, I was just curios why you did it as a new player... I am not telling you how to play or not play your game ...

[dawn widget]

apart of doing my own stuff I am doing mostly what others tell me about so far, this helped me a lot to level up classes so I felt it was worth sharing when a guy asked

the high level guys seem to know a lot of tricks so why not to use them once learned

[austere stratus]

Oh yeah, I found out about this by myself after the eastern front update

Was fucking around not knowing what to do with engie, thought first sector is no go zone for nodes. And voile it worked

[dawn widget]

however not sure why the nodes can't be autobuilt by the game since a match start, when buildable before the warmup timer runs out in case of coordinated actions

[austere stratus]

I also noticed after the update, the grass seems to disappear after some distance compared to before.... hiding in open field grass feels like suicide now

[dawn widget]

but I cant complain, they helped me to get MP40 for the support class and MG42 for mg without much effort

[austere stratus]

Noticed this heavily on Kurst

Saw some german thought he's safe hiding in the grass about 200m away but I can see him clearly

[dawn widget]

I don't know what was before but I noticed the grass is not showing with distance too

in Kursk map it can be problem, but if it is a only open map we have to probably accept it

played just very few maps so far, so no clue if there is other maps like this

I think my favorite so far is Sant marie du mont, following Eglise

[austere stratus]

Feels like on every match in Kurst, Germans have huge advantage if the point is on Panzer's end

Simply because the soviet isn't hidden by the grass after some distance

[dawn widget]

the forest at the back seems to be made just of trees without any grass and bushes in it, despite when close it is quite dense

no wonder why they are destroying vehicles in hq from halfway across the map

i mean tankers of course

I just got this game looks fun so far

[dawn widget]

i see this was 6 seconds before the victory, congrats

I stuck in a q of 13 people

how?

I thought it is limited to 4 or so

I only see community lobby’s

what is the best role to start out with?

[dawn widget]

i liked the medic

[normal pike]

honestly - probably rifleman to get a feel - but the best thing i found was to join a squad, say hi, and ask the SL what they need. they might say support and put supplies down for garrisons

[dawn widget]

but if u can find a nice tank squad it can be fun

[normal pike]

Just say you're new and ready to learn - that's the best way to get good at the game quickly and be a really powerful contributor

[dawn widget]

i was haveing fun in a tank yesterday

i try to start talking more most of the communty servers were nice to me though i need to get used to the spawn points

[normal pike]

tanking is one of the toughest, most team oriented things in the game. Driving and tank commander is the toughest. get in with a really good tank commander and driver and you'll be amazed. Good gunners are incredible too

I found most people were really nice as well - and I hated using my mic and talking to strangers online haha!

[dawn widget]

i got lucky one shots but i also was main tank in battlefeld so i used to playing tanks

well it just depends for me i hate saying i the new guy the medic was good though cause i could help all the squads

i also found that lobby again with the 16 player q

[glad pasture]

Check your P.M.

[dawn widget]

[dawn widget]

thanks

[glad pasture]

You can find many more that will also help new members here in : #hll-guides & #hll-videos

[dawn widget]

ok cool i go over their in a sec

[austere stratus]

Do engies have to destroy their old structures if their build limit is reached?

Or can we just build more stuff and the old ones get destroyed automatically

[atomic pulsar]

If you reach your build limit, you'll need to dismantle things you've previously placed

[austere stratus]

Darn

[reef wigeon]

Apparently things become laggy as heck when I try to aim/look thru binocs at a distance, how do I fix it?

[rocky heart]

anything to look for in a server for a newb?

like map preference, player count, game modes or odd rules, etc?

[ivory loom]

less than 90 players

[polar frost]

Tanks can be a lot of fun yeah, particularly tank commander imo

[dawn widget]

Yeah I was just a spotter and shot. A bunch of stuff one shot kills

[unkempt storm]

leadership is scary 😦

[dawn widget]

I love the 90 player lobby’s

[valid cipher]

yo im new to the game anyone got some group i can join? i can play medic no mic

[dawn widget]

How u doing @mint bloom

[dawn widget]

I might be able to play with u in a bit though it just me I join Radom lobby’s

I go in support voice if u want

[cerulean dune]

Anyone wanna squad up, these random squads are brutal

[dawn widget]

i can i join the support voice channel

[autumn lichen]

Hi, there are any news about echelon and no retreat dlcs?

[austere stratus]

Do you have to wait until map change for the exp to apply?

Made a mistake where I quit the server during the map change countdown and my 18k exp doesn't apply...

[modern rampart]

No, your experience is being saved constantly. They only thing you miss out on when you quit before the round is over is additional experience for completing the match and possible commendations from your squad/teammates

[austere stratus]

I leveled up to 29 but I left the server and checked the barracks, and it went back to 24

For some reason

So its kinda weird

[modern rampart]

That sounds like a bug. Usually you save both your class and your career experience

it might also be the case that you played on a server that hasn't been whitelisted and therefore gave you less or almost no experience

[austere stratus]

Wait, really?

Oh that sorta sucked then

Is there a way to check if a server is whitelisted?

Yeah, just rebooted HLL and it still stays at 24. Didn;t get any exp at all from that 1.5 hours match

[modern rampart]

I don't think so. Most servers are fine, especially those that are managed by clans etc.

if you find obscure sounding servers best to just avoid them

[austere stratus]

Alrighty.

Just gotta regrind to get to rank 3 MG again I guess

Was looking forward for MG42 😭

[ivory loom]

stupid how they have the 34 as the base weapon considering 42 was the standard LMG from 43 onward

[plain shell]

hey im new to the game like just downloaded was wondering if anybody would like to play and u know kick it until i get my bearings

[unkempt storm]

Kickstarter rewards only at the moment

[iron halo]

Hello I'm new to the game and would love to squad up sometime

[dawn widget]

welcome to the grinder

i been loveing this game so far how many maps are in the game

total

[unkempt storm]

Unsure of the total off by heart, 8-9ish, but if you go into the field manual, it’ll show you 🙂 also some light reading on each if that’s your thing

[dawn widget]

oh ok cool

[autumn lichen]

Thanks!

[verbal sigil]

11

[dawn widget]

cool

i only seen like two or 3 so far but i also was on communty lobbys

how can u tell how many maps are in the lobbys

[verbal sigil]

unless the server name specifies, I don't think you can

a lot of servers are only running the 3 new maps due to the update, but in a week or two most servers will be back to running everything

[tribal sorrel]

I just purchased and am waiting for the download. Excited to get into it

[dawn widget]

oh ok

[dawn widget]

its really fun

i love the german march song

[dawn widget]

love the game, hate the bugs

= 😐

[fluid nebula]

coming from squad. I often get into matches/squads were no one talks. Is this normal ?

like i'm really enjoying the game but just being met with complete silence is a bit off putting

[remote pilot]

For HLL it is unfortunately, you will never get an SL that will mic check you like in Squad.

Im a former Squad player from V5 update before vehicles where in till halfway V10. HLL kickstarter backer aswel, this issue has been here since the beginning of the game.

[fluid nebula]

gotcha thanks for the reply. Might look for a group or something to play with !

[tribal sorrel]

Yeah, so far no one is talking

I'd like to find a group as well.

[unkempt storm]

Some games will be better than others, inevitable with randoms. Most times people are open to talking I find, they just need a little “push” to start

But obviously with a group is best

[gloomy grove]

#pc-divisions-recruitment

[tribal sorrel]

Oh nice

[spice tartan]

HLL has always been more quiet than Squad for some reason

Atm there are a LOT of new people as well who are mic shy so just keep looking i guess

[remote pilot]

That is becuz Squad is more of a tactical shooter where death has consequences then HLL does. From my experience leading folks tend to leave the squad when they are prompted to follow and do certain tasks vs if i say nothing and let them run and gun.

Its a bit of comparing apple to pears

[slim fractal]

Different target audience. Simple reason.

HLL is a meme game compared to Squad.

[crimson badger]

Kek

[slim fractal]

And take this from a loyal HLL fan with +2k hours in the game vs around ~50 in Squad.

[crimson badger]

A new player can play medic without communicating at all throughout a match.

[slim fractal]

A new player can do anything without communicating at all. Old one can too.

The game does not require teamwork.

Or communication.

[crimson badger]

Yeah

[spice tartan]

Well one thing is what both of you described - it doesnt matter much if u drift off on your own or not. But the other is the lack of banter as well. In Squad, someone is playing hardbass, somebody is asking if you have a loycense for that tank, someone is shouting allahu akbar on radio....HLL is just always quiet.

[slim fractal]

And it is what's dividing the playerbase. We have players coming in, looking for casual fun, run-and-gun, great explosions and booms, ignoring the teamwork element of the game and ignoring communication. And then there's shrinking audience, looking for teamwork and communication to win the games.

The devs doesn't know who they are making the game. Or they do. And that is for everyone.

[crimson badger]

I think the devs sometimes look at what happens to Post Scriptum and tries to do things opposite of it

dons tinfoil hat

[slim fractal]

And clearly they are doing something right in terms of generating sales. But that's about it.

[rocky heart]

just had my first tank crew match and it was amazing lol

[spice tartan]

Theres some good bits but it seems like the game is overwhelming them

[uncut jasper]

This right here

Two completely different types of playerbases are being catered to, but the mechanics and decisions to appease each don’t mesh with each other at all

I prefer to play without mics and just make sure OPs and markers stay current

[spice tartan]

Some appease an u known third crowd

[crimson badger]

Opposite of overwhelming

[spice tartan]

The absurd resource system

[spice tartan]

I mean the devs cant catch up to their own game

[modern rampart]

"loyal HLL fan" actually I think i got a better point: Target audience.

[slim fractal]

Target audience is the key word.

[dawn widget]

what is your opinion on worthyness of HLL?

[slim fractal]

It's irrelevant.

[modern rampart]

sure it is..

if you are looking for a Boogieman it does make sense.

[next oasis]

We've still got people here trying so hard to obstruct others from playing the game

[uncut jasper]

Tbh, just play the game for yourself and see what you do and don't like.

[modern rampart]

don't take word from anyone who unironically calls themselves "veteran"

[slim fractal]

You would know that if you were given the access to #mess-hall and real #pc-feedback

You, as a new player can't see it and we as the old players can't see your #mess-hall and #new-player-feedback

[slim fractal]

His label, not mine 😉

[modern rampart]

when is somebody consider a "veteran" in your view?

then I am.

[crimson badger]

How many hours?

[modern rampart]

975 hours

[dawn widget]

those 2K are quite enough to know everything about everything I would say

that is why I asked

[modern rampart]

believe me, time and time again I see people with high ingame ranks play like absolute idiots

time played/rank means absolutely nothing.

[uncut jasper]

lol

[crimson badger]

Someone could have kept the game active on the menu screen to accumulate game hours

[unkempt storm]

He’s not wrong

[modern rampart]

Not only that. Also gotta find some sort of boogieman you can blame the perceived "downfall" of the game on

[uncut wolf]

<@&365680483276816385>

[dawn widget]

I doubt that a Platoon Veteran backer could be such idiot - another reason why I asked him

cmon dont spam gifs here

or whatever it is, mp4

[uncut wolf]

@dawn widget you around to take care of this?

[dawn widget]

Heyo!

show your grandfather someplace else, this is HLL discord

[uncut wolf]

thanks

[dawn widget]

No, you all thanks!

thank you sir

[unkempt storm]

justice restored

[dawn widget]

Thanks for flagging this and keeping the community clean.

Thanks all!

[slim fractal]

It's also odd design choice. Or community development aspect which has not been explained in any way 🤷

I wouldn't be surprised if the old wood (=old channels) was cut off eventually

I really haven't see that kind of hostile attitude in HLL compared to many other games where such elitist culture exists

Maybe you're right that they want to protect the new players but it's from the salt and tears of the old players

[modern rampart]

Well, there are certain "veterans" in here, who follow a certain narrative when it comes to game. They have been perpetuating doomsday talk since...about a year now or longer. For some Update 5 was the turning point for others Update 7. It all has to do with the perceived "casualisation" of the game, mainly brought upon by too many automatics in the loadouts. The question though remains: How much truth does this narrative hold? You will find a lot of negatively biased people in this Discord, who not only tend to exaggerate problems but also just straight up make up false points.

[dawn widget]

but well the game is casual isn't it?

I can see myself that even without asking

[slim fractal]

I like this guy.

[modern rampart]

depends on how you define casual really

is it the most casual out of all games in a similar genre? Yeah probably.

is it "arcade trash" as some others call it? no it's not.

it's probably best described as a more "hardcore BF" or a "really casual RO2"

according to one of the devs it: "sits comfortably between Squad and BF"

I don't think it's overly acardey and I do have a long history with games, that are usually considered "realistic" by most

[dawn widget]

well, we spawn... we run a bit, get killed, get respawned like back in BF with no consequences, I find shooting mechanics quite simple in comprison to older games like RO2, capturing circles like in BF

[slim fractal]

I found seven (7) results of "arcade trash" in this Discord. From which one is yours. @pallid blade has mentioned it twice but has referred to something else. None of the others indicates anyone calling HLL that. Who's now exaggerating problems?

[modern rampart]

yes, most people would probably agree that shooting and gunplay needs a rework

including me

tickets would be terrible in HLL

wouldn't work

not with how the game functions right now

[dawn widget]

not saying the ticket system is good, just comparing

[modern rampart]

I am sorry you felt attacked by my previous comment. I will try to do better next time.

[modern rampart]

I understand.

[slim fractal]

Oh not at all felt so 😄 Was just amused about your stories

Carry on The new guy is listening. Educate him.

[next oasis]

It's to keep jaded, self-touted "veterans" from spouting reasons as to why newer players shouldn't enjoy the game for unrelated reasons.

You'll easily figure out who these users are, whose seemingly sole purpose anymore is to dissuade others from enjoying the game. It is common they try to speak on behalf of other "veterans" too. Look to the sidebar on the right. Thoughout the years HLL has been in development, I've probably not seen 95% of those color-coded Backer names interacting on this Discord, yet you've likely already seen some "veterans" try to speak on all of their behalf.

Common terms they'll use are:
"[I am a] veteran"
"[KickStarter] Promises"
"Vision"
"Downfall"
"Arcade"
"Target audience"

[modern rampart]

I think the "stories" about kill cams and kill streaks is funnier

but that's just my opinion

[slim fractal]

I will get my last laugh when those are in-game *killfeed

[modern rampart]

of course, try to not slip too hard on that slope

[uncut jasper]

No

[modern rampart]

no

no

[uncut jasper]

There's an admin cam, but it's not a killcam

[modern rampart]

this basically sums it up perfectly

[slim fractal]

I don't think anyone is trying to obstruct anyone from enjoying the game of HLL here 🤔

Heck I run a community promoting HLL and recruiting new players into HLL and into fll.fi team 🤷 😄

[rose rover]

I am ready to learn this game!

[modern rampart]

maybe not actively but certainly passively

not all "veterans" think the same

you have a lot of long time players, who still massively enjoy this game

they just don't sit in this Discord all day
