complaining

and spinning conspiracy theories

[dawn widget]

at the same time I don't care much because I was not here back then so not any broken promises are anything to me, I wasnt promiseed anything

and I got the game for free 😄

[uncut jasper]

Free game = infinite value

Hell yeah

[slim fractal]

And you are here with us, busting those theories Everyone has a meaning in this ecosystem we call HLL Discord.

But honestly, this all should be in "#mess-hall" . Catch you on the other side 👋

[modern rampart]

yeah, I'd prefer watching from a distance though. It's like throwing yourself to the lions, or should I say "monkees" to go against the narrative?

[next oasis]

How many of those players gave you reason of, "HLL was 'supposed to be' etc, etc"?

[dawn widget]

now when I heard both camps I guess, I can say that neither of you seem to be willing to listen to one another

• one camp says about deep disappointement - I believed them after seying the kickstarter
• the other camp claims against them - claiming the promises are meaningless so to speak which is probably also true

a lots of games promised gold and honey and failed after some time, turned into something else

[next oasis]

I don't fault anyone for being disappointed. They can feel however they want to feel.

[modern rampart]

the funny thing is: the current roadmap is promising even more content than initially planned on the kickstarter page

now mind you: I am just talking from the "content" perspective

[next oasis]

The disingenuous reasons are what you need be able to discern. People who reference an earlier 'vision' of the game are LITERALLY basing their disappointment by how much it deviates from their speculation to what HLL "should have been".

[modern rampart]

gunplay and meta are different subjects altogether

[slim fractal]

@next oasis do you remember what was the final pledge amount in KS? (Not the one seen in the page but after the PayPal campaign finished too?)

[fierce thicket]

to be fair, the decision to leave EA was too early, we needed at least 6 more months in the oven,

but I can see why they did it

[next oasis]

Not readily, but it wouldn't be too hard to find

[uncut jasper]

I'd like the game to run well and gunplay feel satisfying; I'm a simple person to please tbh

Oh, and not every match just be a meatgrinder until someone outcaps by a pixel

[north laurel]

anyone wanna do tank crewman with me?

[slim fractal]

I started to think about this comment

What's there more content-wise vs KS promises.

That's not the topic now.

[uncut jasper]

No

[uncut wolf]

most of what I want in the game is a better community tbh. Some in game stuff can change for the better sure, but the game would be 10x better if everyone would communicate and cooperate properly

instead of just 5 silent squads pushing the same angle on the same point for an hour

[slim fractal]

Dude, that's been exactly the discussion point here 😄

[uncut wolf]

I've only been half reading, sorry

[slim fractal]

☝️

[slim fractal]

No worries 😄

[uncut wolf]

not to be rude, but good

you should need a mic to play the game

[north laurel]

wheres the best place to find people to play with on this game 😦 I wanna do tanks but no one to crew with

[gloomy grove]

#pc-looking-for-unit + #pc-divisions-recruitment

[uncut jasper]

You don't need a mic to play the game with all the ping markers and HUD info that you get, lol what

[slim fractal]

You seem to be engaging and caring individual. Mic or not, I would take you in my squad.

[north laurel]

ty

[ivory loom]

Depends

[dawn widget]

there is not much of it, but it is nice looking

[fierce thicket]

but on the other hand, maybe there's a lot of people like you? before I started playing tactical shooters I thought of VoIP just as something where people insult eachother and it was always insta mute. But when you actually have a game where voip has a valid purpose and is 99% clean of bigotry, it changes the picture. And a lot of people admitted after a few months that they'd barely spoke up in the beginning cause they were embarrased by being clueless noobs

[ivory loom]

If only it was

[modern rampart]

the amount of maps per theatre for example, vehicle roster expansion with vehicles that weren't on it

etc.

[ivory loom]

If you measure cosmetic "goodness" by variation or accuracy

[modern rampart]

was campaign mode on the kickstarter page?

[uncut jasper]

No one knows, we haven't seen anything of it yet

[modern rampart]

if you are familiar with campaign mode in Red Orchestra 2 and Rising Storm 2 it should be extremely similiar

[modern rampart]

actually we do have an idea of it judging by latest interviews

correct.

global map, pick your battle and side kind of thing

manage resources etc.

[uncut jasper]

This was the last I had saw of it. Guess they're still keeping it in mind

[modern rampart]

you did see the new roadmap right?

[uncut jasper]

Yuh

[modern rampart]

because it was also featured on the most recent one

and some of those PR interviews Max did recently

he talked more about their vision on campaign mode in his interview with Alpine Sniper

[modern rampart]

https://youtu.be/H0EOh2txW6E?t=388

I marked the spot for you

correct

Max and Spono are the founders of the development team, if I am not mistaken

that's why they also have the "owner" role in here

[unkempt storm]

Max is the literal god

The alpha and the omega

[dawn widget]

lots of vets I talked to would call him omega 😄

not sure what it could use best for getting better, maybe more depth would do it

but it is very nice casual shooter

[ivory loom]

more depth is basically what i needs the most

[uncut jasper]

I'd be amazed if what was being described actually came out in that form considering where we're at now

[modern rampart]

where are we at?

RO2 and RS2 had a multiplayer campaign mode

and RO2 was at an arguably much worse spot than HLL is right now

much worse..

[dawn widget]

i like the game so far had some intresting matches for the most part and most squads do talk

i love to have a training ground and how to do tanks etc before u get in a lobby

though i learned how to do most of the stuff on the tank just have to get better at spoting

i feel like sometimes i so blind

[polar frost]

The only true forest is the US HQ on Foy

Its not a very good map imo

But hey maybe you'll like it

Yes lol

Very open, long distance fights

Generally speaking

[uncut wolf]

basically just hope your tanks are better than theirs

[polar frost]

Kinda like kursk except with less trenches

[normal pike]

Anyone can download the client and partake in the next PTE

[unkempt storm]

To elaborate, the PTE isn’t up all of the time, correct? (For my own curiosity as well)

[dapper vapor]

I just downloaded the game. I cant find any servers? are there any online?

[inland summit]

there are many online

[unkempt storm]

Might be something wonky with your filters

[dapper vapor]

these are the only 3 i get, and they dont always pop up

[inland summit]

i think that is

main server hase about 400 servers norm

[dawn widget]

you launched Hell Let Lose (Public Testing)
probably

[dapper vapor]

ahh i just launched the one that finished downloading oooof

im alittle slow

[inland summit]

your all good

[dawn widget]

you will have to wait for the normal client to download then

no way around 😦

[inland summit]

do some servers have chats bugged, cuz i cant talk at all in game

[dapper vapor]

nah its downloaded. It just launched the other client by default :p

thx guys

[inland summit]

np

[normal pike]

Correct. The guys announce each week before the servers go live. Usually when it is closer to an update.

[unkempt storm]

Assuming you mean text chat and not voip? I haven’t heard of text chat being bugged, personally

[inland summit]

the voip, i had to relog it fixed then

[unkempt storm]

Oh, yeah, voip is buggy. Sometimes it’ll be server wide, sometimes it’s individual, sometimes I just have to unplug my mic and plug it back in, others have to relog. Kind of a mixed bag

[pallid blade]

VOIP has had issues since day 1. This has not changed, nor improved since then.

[verbal sigil]

It has definitely improved.

It's 90% reliable whereas it used to be like 50% reliable

[austere stratus]

Is there a guide on how to take shots at 250m+ distance? Kursk seems to be the only map where you have realistic engagement distance

[rocky heart]

tanks are fun lol

[light urchin]

Hey, would an RX 580 AMD card be adequate to run this game alright?

[unkempt storm]

Should be fine yes

[remote pilot]

When you have played HLL when it still had 2000x2000 maps and 25 objectives.... or if you have experienced talking in squad radio and talking to another squad in server 10 😂

[remote pilot]

Unfortunately no. You have to aim higher above your target and get the feel of how bullet drop behaves per distance. The game has no alternative sights or sight ranging

[indigo heron]

anyone wanna help me figure out how to play this game lmao i love getting spawn killed constantly on the utah beach

[median ivy]

You need to find a good SL

[indigo heron]

english please

[pallid blade]

He means you need to find a squad with a good squad leader that is able to communicate effectively and be willing to teach you

[snow grotto]

where do i get the no retreat dlc

[austere stratus]

Are MGs fundamentally broken? I accidentally deployed and made mybody hide inside props while my gun stays outside

In short nobody can kill me, not even grenade but I can still shoot outside

Devs should fix this

[polar frost]

I forgot how nice the mg34 sights are

[unkempt storm]

Kickstarter rewards at the moment

[unkempt storm]

If accurate I would think this is a rare situation, as I’ve never had it happen to me. Assuming there actually wasn’t a space there in the prop itself

[austere stratus]

I believe this is on Hurtgen forest

Map bug? Should I post it there?

[unkempt storm]

Wouldn’t hurt if you’d like, the map bugs here direct you to a discussion on steam for them 🙂 although they prefer a screenshot of the location on the map, as well

[austere stratus]

Oh that'd be a problem because I forgot the specific location, maybe I'll look around next time im in Hurtgen. It was definitely The Ruin location

[valid cipher]

anyone wanna play on a server and squad up? AU servers

[spice tartan]

Lol ur name says no mic

Im sure that doesnt attract too many squadmates

[ivory loom]

One of the only realistic sights - if not the only one

[valid cipher]

yeah sadly

[spice tartan]

Just keep trying and when u join a squad immediately write in squad chat that you have no mic but you communicate via squad text chat

Might be enough for people to keep u in squad

I usually like to see that at least when I am squad leader

Sometimes u have an unresponsive squad but a guy writes in text chat : D

Might be the most valuable guy in the squad

[valid cipher]

yeah i always do tha i just play medic lul because i get points for reviving

[spice tartan]

You get points for a lot of things ofc : D

[dawn widget]

Good morning

[valid cipher]

are you AU?

[signal harness]

For sure, this game is about communication and squad cohesion. Even if you just use text chat ("L" for squad chat), you will be fine. I would also say get a mic and talk. Unlike a lot of other games HLL is not a very toxic community.

[spice tartan]

No mate sry

[dawn cobalt]

I am lmao

[spice tartan]

Yeah there’s no reason to be shy. You only risk the game being better : D

[unkempt storm]

So crazy… it just might… work

[signal harness]

Seriously though when I am squad leader I encourage people to communicate and try to foster a decent environment and by the end of a match I will have all of my squad mates actively participating. I really think people don't communicate because they expect toxicity.

[spice tartan]

Nah its just about starting the conversation

People are shy so start the convo first

Everything after that is easy

If theyre actually willing to talk

[signal harness]

That's what I mean, get the ball rolling

[spice tartan]

And if they dont you can still try to make it happen by using the map marker

Use move, defend, attack, and enemy markers liberally

It tends to pull the squad together even if they dont talk

Just make them feel like theyre on a “special mission” then they will follow along : D

[valid cipher]

lets squad up ill play medic

[dawn cobalt]

You’ll have to wait sorry, my PC getting fixed and upgraded

Computer was running like crap cause of poor hardware, which ofc made HLL ran like crap too

[dawn cobalt]

I mainly play on BigDGaming Australia servers

[spice tartan]

Best I can do is shovel skins in DLC

[signal sage]

no exp when you leave early?
it says no 'bonus' xp nut i didnt receive any xp at all after playing over an hour

[spice tartan]

No exp when leave early.

For the people sweating over XP consider building nodes with engineer (passive XP trickle) then switch to the class you wanna lvl up. That worked last update, not sure if its changed now.

Way more XP

[signal sage]

ty for the tip. Not in a rush tho, just wondering 🙂

[fast stone]

As a squad leader, it helps to call on people by name. More times than not, people get motivated to respond when they hear their name. Giving people tasks, specific directions to watch and focus on. Fosters a feeling of teamwork. This works well in the command channel too, if you’re not getting answers from a specific squad leader by calling out their unit designation.

[gloomy grove]

Have they changed this? You should get XP when you leave early. XP was being tallied live

[spice tartan]

I may be wrong then. i thought you always had to finish to get it

[uncut wolf]

If you get enough exp to unlock a class you can use it in game, but if you don't finish the game you lose the exp I think.

[unkempt storm]

You get the XP as it's earned in game, although you won't get the end bonuses if you leave early. The time bonus, team bonus, win bonus, etc

[dawn widget]

it is tracked alive

at least for class XPs I know it does

but even if you leave mid match, all the experience gained until then is counted and not lost

[unkempt storm]

It's no different for recons, although that's all of the insight I have lol

[frosty horizon]

arty might be able to destroy it? They would need to be good at arty tho

oh right i have no idea then

[dawn widget]

i back

how does one here get more roles

if you mean the kits, you need to unlock them

they are restricted by class levels

i was talking about disord ranks

[nimble sierra]

how come all the official HLL servers are always empty

[dawn widget]

not sure guess the communty runs it more

its been in early access for years

i played like 2 years ago on a free weekend

i love the game now though

[nimble sierra]

yea i bought if after a free weekend too

[spice tartan]

Cause they dont have admins

And no regulars

[crimson badger]

Have not played official servers for a long time, but for community servers in the past week I saw players called out two aimbot cheaters and the admins of their own servers banned them quickly.

[drifting palm]

Wow things are active today, I've been faced with so many full queues

[spice tartan]

Remember that the queues normally get an empty spot every few seconds so try a few times before you conclude that the queue is really backed up

The downside of limited queues is this clicking but the advantage is that you can get into a server with friends pretty quick if youre willing to click a few times

[wintry quiver]

I Joined a queue a few days ago with 31 people in it….

But it only said it had (6/6)

It would be cool for the next update to include the Japanese!(paid if need be) I’d pay for that! I love the soviet update.

I mean I would support the devs as I love this game. If there is a way already somebody shoot me a link.

[spice tartan]

Paid factions? I could uninstall in peace

[spice tartan]

The japanese are gonna be quite a few updates away i think

[unkempt storm]

I wouldn't mind paying if it's worth paying for, but yes, definitely if a thing it'll be quite a ways away

especially as it's not on the roadmap currently, just british

[spice tartan]

Yeah have fun the two of you then on your segregated maps

[unkempt storm]

🤷‍♂️

[spice tartan]

Just like all the dead battlefield DLC maps

[unkempt storm]

that occurs whether it's paid or not, though, older maps fall off rotations just the same

[spice tartan]

That is a separate phenomenon to rotating maps that are paid

None of the community servers would rotate it if it kicked players off : D or they would need a separate server for it

[unkempt storm]

It's like saying wow wasn't successful because they released paid expansions

[spice tartan]

Look i would be happy to get the pacific stuff myself

But this paid faction stuff is just dumb player division

[unkempt storm]

then pay for it!!!! kidding lol. If it should be paid or not is a separate discussion that is out of my hands, of course, but if it's worth it and if that's the route they take, I'll buy it 🙂

[spice tartan]

Not blaming you if you wanna do that but dividing playerbase until the poorer ones are left behind sounds like fermented turds to me

[unkempt storm]

if that's not the perfect analogy for irl society rn, I dunno what is

[tiny sequoia]

Is there a way to invite your friends to your lobby?

[gloomy grove]

Most older players use a mic, so we didn't type much. I might type one sarcastic comment every couple games max

[gloomy grove]

They may be able to join via steam friends. If not, just press tab in game and see which server you're not.

There is no party system, but it's being worked on

[tiny sequoia]

alrighty

[gloomy grove]

Sure is. But, that's not text chat. That's a different but probably related bug

'talks about text chat'

'we didn't care much because we used a different thing'

'yeah well I'm pissed'

Just don't type in that one screen. You know it's bugged, so don't do it

[slim fractal]

Didnt you read the interview?

Rea says of the four big updates ahead for the next year, Black Matter currently plans on one being a large paid expansion. While he hasn’t yet divulged what that might include, he tells us that the idea is for it to be on a level with the addition of the new Soviet forces that arrive with Update 10.

https://www.pcgamesn.com/hell-let-loose/post-launch-roadmap

[gloomy grove]

But you got so mad at it you quit a game. Sure, it is the best time. Just wait the 10 seconds then tell them. Most people aren't reading text chat while being shot at anyway

If it's broken and you know it's broken, just don't do the thing that doesn't work

You can type on the deploy screen

[verbal sigil]

This is confusing. He says one expansion will be paid, but that they won't "split" the playerbase with content.

[gloomy grove]

Never had it happen on the deploy screen

[slim fractal]

They could do like Rising Storm did. Give base game of RS to all RO2 owners, only limiting them with rifleman class. You get to play multiplayer with everyone else but just could use rifleman. If you wanted to unlock all the weapons, you would have to pay for the full game.

[gloomy grove]

I use a microphone, why would I?

'why are you talking to me?'

I answered your original question, that's why

Unfortunately, yeah

Well a lot of them just don't

Why are you bringing up voice Comms? We're talking about text chat

[spice tartan]

Hahah fuck thanks for the quick ending, I really missed that one

Let’s call the police

[uncut wolf]

Voice chat after death is fine, but I do agree chat randomly closing is annoying

[spice tartan]

This better be a fuckload of hats

Or unpaying plebs forced to use springfield, mosin, kar98. Gunfights might even be better : D

Then the poor people can also condescend the rich

LOL RICH KID HAD TO BUY SMG LOL

[fluid nebula]

Are the new maps running a bit rough for anyone else ?

Some of the ground kept blinking for me

[topaz yew]

HOW TO CHANG my name,this is my email add. lol

in the game HLL it has my email for my call

[normal pike]

Your in game name is your steam account username. If you change that, your in game name will change too :)

[unkempt storm]

Yes, the performance is almost universally pretty poor for everyone, devs are aware of it

[fluid nebula]

map looks amazing though

[prime quartz]

we just don't use it.

i can't remember the last time I used the text chat much less the voice chat

but very generally you just shouldn't ever use txt chat

most people do not read it and its now being spammed by commander messages

[unkempt storm]

much less the voice chat 😵

Text chat can be fairly useful for non-squad call outs. It’s much quicker to alert the team that there’s an airhead behind the point that only you may have seen, for example, than relaying it to SL and relying on them to relay it to command. It’s up to everyone else if they choose to act on it, but at least you called it out. But of course, voice and text chat go hand in hand, you should do everything - vicinity, squad, text - each have their uses.

[uncut wolf]

I use the text chat to shame command whenever he spawns a medium or light tank

[trim badge]

omaha beach offence is absolutely horrific

[uncut wolf]

it's amazing

[trim badge]

its almost impossible not to win as defence

[uncut wolf]

really? I find it pretty even when I play

[unkempt storm]

Precisely, it holds something dear for everyone

[wintry quiver]

I didn't say the community would be happy paying, I said I would lol.

[prime quartz]

did you join the discord recently?

[pastel mauve]

where is supporters mess hall

i swear it was a thing

[prime quartz]

yes

#mess-hall

[pastel mauve]

not there for me

[wintry quiver]

Joined the discord like a month ago. but been playing HLL since late 2019

[prime quartz]

huh

[wintry quiver]

Yea lol

[prime quartz]

y'all have a "conscript" role

[wintry quiver]

I didn't know there was a discord.

[prime quartz]

so I guess they added that for newer folks

to here

might be why you can't see the mess hall

[prime quartz]

anyway I think the obvious problem for you is that HLL avgs like 3.5k players so a paid expansion might end up being pretty dead

[wintry quiver]

well yea but I was saying as like a supportive type thing

[prime quartz]

i can't think of the last game to do a paid expansion like that

well Rising Storm

[wintry quiver]

They don't have to actually implement my opinion lol

[prime quartz]

8 years ago

[wintry quiver]

I was just saying

I

I

would pay

[prime quartz]

wait so you cannot access the mess hall?

[wintry quiver]

It might sound crazy but sometimes I feel like this game should have the ability to be 100v100

Yes I can

I just don't know where we are supposed to actually converse or which channel lol

didn't read the rules.

[prime quartz]

this supposed to be Q&A

like: why do I keep dying?

whereas arguments about paying for the Japanese is for supporters

[dawn widget]

There's no reason to either with paid cosmetics anyway

plus HLL currently is averaging about 10k players peak daily

[pastel mauve]

whatttt

[prime quartz]

the numbers will likely stabilize lower

[dawn widget]

Yeah

[uncut jasper]

Had guy ask that I move the OP up so he didn't have to run for five minutes after I told him we were staying defensive on the previous point because two enemy squads kept poking at us

[remote pilot]

Aah yess, backseat squadleaders. Always commenting but dont know the difference between the sector objective or strongpoint.

[polar frost]

I'm fine with backseat squad leaders questioning my poor decisions from time to time tbh

[valid cipher]

im looking for a group to squad up in games HLL

i want to learn being a support class (medic/support/enginner/officer/commander) without being rushed
i kinda like this game since people who often have mic in matches talk like they are in an actual war calling out locations and saying roger, copy

[glad turtle]

Buy a mic first

[fiery sentinel]

Hey just wondering what are the basic sort of tips for being an officer? I’ve had a few experiences and I think I do okay, but just wanted to double check myself

[wintry quiver]

Arguments? I’m not following. It wasn’t an argument and if it truly is a Q&A why are you here, pal.

[polar frost]

Make callouts and tell your squad the general thing you want to do, but dont babysit them

[gloomy grove]

Build a garrison with your support players supplies if you're more than 200m away from one. Replace your outpost regularly, but keep it safe. Place appropriate marks. Don't talk all the time in command chat - just say the necessary.

Do that and you are better than 50% of SLs

[polar frost]

Yeah outposts and garrisons are very nice too

[fiery sentinel]

What’s the best approach to speak to your squad though? I try to take a more friendly approach but it feels as though no one would take me seriously that way

Just trying to find the best strategy to be a good leader but not be an asshole

[gloomy grove]

Just speak normally

[polar frost]

Yeah speak normally, tell them the plan

And hope they listen lol

[gloomy grove]

Personally, I'm just very matter of fact about game functions and then normal the rest of the time

[wintry quiver]

I told all my men yesterday on the frontline that running from the frontlines was treason against Mother Russia and that I would personally shoot them in the back of the head if they ran. Obviously not 100% historically accurate but ever since then it’s been an un-spoken role on the Russian side to never retreat.

This is one of the many many reasons I love this game.

[polar frost]

Bru

[gloomy grove]

Pro tips are don't be afraid to mute other SLs if they won't shut up. SL is brain draining if you attempt to take in every single piece of information

Shooting an AT so they get more ammo is acceptable whether they want you to or not

[polar frost]

Mfw command chat doesn't allow you to hear your own squad lol

[wintry quiver]

The community. Except for the people who act like they have been educated at a top ivy-league school with an IQ of 160 and feel the need to share their stupid moronic opinion on everything mentioned.

[gloomy grove]

Liberal use of the mute function. I will absolutely mute my commander if he won't shut up

[wintry quiver]

Yea that server now literally kills every person who runs from the frontline on the Russian side.

Or at least every time I’ve been there.

Or how some servers with low-tps blame their rubber banding issues on the devs when their server seems to be the only one effected.

Yes sir.

[polar frost]

Yea but it's very inconsistent

Case in point lmao

[wintry quiver]

Usually the only one with bullets that rip through surfaces are the HMG’s and honestly it isn’t all that inaccurate. Most of the time bullets get fucked up going through objects like fences. However, the penetration to bullet ratio is definitely messed up all around.

3:10

Because it takes away from Realism. Not every game can be Squad. Where tiny bushes stop you dead in your tracks and trees with invisible barriers stop your Bullets.

[polar frost]

Shoot and hope

[wintry quiver]

I really hate auto correct. I take it off and I spell like shit typing on a mobile device. If I keep it on it auto corrects all the wrong things.

Well. Again not all bullets are just going to rip through the fence and hit where you are aiming.

There is a random trajectory for obstruction of bullets.

It’s not narrow. That’s at least 4-5 inches thick of wood.

Bullets can penetrate obviously but I’m saying that it isn’t asinine for it to go everywhere but your target.

I’m talking about real life exp here not the game lol. The game is a hit or miss.

Yea I know that’s why I said the game is very inconsistent with a 3:10 ratio for every bullet fired depending on the caliber. I noticed Automatic weapons have an easier time penetrating objects then Semi-Automatic weapons.

I’m sure it’s something they will fix in the future nonetheless.

Just like optimization and/or levolution

Yea I agree.

It should be more like an 7-8/10 rather then a 3/10.

If even that.

Yea so safe to say at times 0.5/10 shots fired penetrate for every gun but the MG42 which has a 9.5/10 bullet to penetration ratio.

but the Developers are hard working and I am throughly pleased with this game despite the small hiccups.

Try the MG42 or Browning.

If it has the same effect then maybe that particular fence has an invisible barrier?

[gloomy grove]

If bullet pen doesn't work, screen shot it + tac map location and send it into the Team 17 support

The Devs have to change each object one by one to implement bullet pen, so they have missed some

It's annoying, yes, but the way to get things fixed is to report bugs

[fiery sentinel]

Just wondering, is playing in the tanks complex? Been tempted to try hopping into a squad for one but I don’t know if its a complex job or not

[red rain]

Hope the devs would see my suggestions. I was hoping to see legs and full body shadows

[uncut jasper]

Tanks now really require three players, so it can be pretty complex at first. Everyone has to communicate, and everyone's information is valuable. The spotter has to keep an eye on literally everything and give callouts for the driver, who also needs to work with the gunner to bring the gun to bear on target as fast as possible. Gunner has an extremely limited FOV in the turret, so they're reliant on the other two to see what they can't outside of their scope.

[gloomy grove]

I've been as successful solo tanking in U10 as I was in U9. Just need to play slightly differently

Hop into an empty server and practice running some tanks around to get used to driving it. Gunning is easy to pick up as you go assuming you can name the tanks on sight

Driving is the trickiest thing now. A lot of it is just experience though. You'll learn where is a tank death trap, and where you can get good sight lines from playing the game

[normal pike]

I play tanks a lot and enjoy the update, driving is a challenge but it has a great feel to it

[gloomy grove]

Driving now requires a bit of thinking which is nice

[uncut jasper]

Driving is very weighty now, it's odd not going from 1st to 4th to max out speed instantly anymore

[normal pike]

Yep, I drive mostly and I got pretty good at throwing the IS1 around after an hour or so

[gloomy grove]

Played in the recon tanks yet? They're fun to drive and outrun the heavies and mediums. New SMDM is a recon tank dream with all the hedgerows

[uncut jasper]

I watched a Puma tear ass, I need to get back into recons

Not sure if anyone brought this up yet, but the SMDM map felt like it was incorrect when I was navigating a tank from spawn

[normal pike]

Yep, took the puma out and had a pretty good match

[gloomy grove]

The SMDM tac map is offset Slightly I think. @dawn widget often gets it fixed for us. Not sure it's completely wrong though

[dawn widget]

If there are any issues, just DM me some screenshots and ill realign it.

[uncut jasper]

When I get some game time in tomorrow, I'll take another look

[unkempt storm]

The hero we deserve

[gloomy grove]

No, I'm suggesting this particular one you've gone out of your way to test you should report

'I'm going to whine about a thing, go out of my way to test the thing in a large area and then do absolutely nothing about it'

Understood

You literally went to a fence and took a screenshot of it

You did 90% of the work

I regularly provide bug reports, extensive testing, provide tech support in the discord for people etc.

However, the facts are, you went to a fence and took a screenshot. You posted it here and moaned about it

You're still discussing it now

So clearly, you had time

I suggested next time you do something like screenshot a fence and moan about it here, you simply screenshot the tacmap as well and submit it to T17 so they can fix it

Nothing more

[amber badger]

if you have time to play a 1 hour match you have 5 min to report a bug

other thing its you dont want to do it. But you have time

[frosty horizon]

people don't want you to complain without making an effort yourself, that's the issue they're having with you it's nothing to do with the penetration

[amber badger]

yes, but you are making non sense excuses

[gloomy grove]

Why are you being so toxic? 😂

Dude, come on

If you have time to post the screenshot here, you have time to screenshot it for the devs to fix

[frosty horizon]

they cannot cover all loose ends, the community can help with that

[gloomy grove]

Each object is separate from one another. That's the way the engine works, so they have to literally find that one specific object and apply bullet penetration to it specifically. That's why giving them the location of an object helps

[frosty horizon]

No dude, you don't have to do anything

[gloomy grove]

No, I'm saying don't moan about it here unless you're willing to do something about it

Why not be productive about it rather than complain?

Yes

[frosty horizon]

why not help them make the game better bud

everybody wins if you want : )

[amber badger]

also, this discussion should not be here I think

[frosty horizon]

yeah tru

[gloomy grove]

Bullet pen was added after each object was added. So they have to apply bullet pen to each object, or rebuild the whole map

[frosty horizon]

i think it belongs in feedback

[gloomy grove]

Nah, he doesn't want to provide feedback

Unfortunately not

This is what they've said to us about it in the past

I can only parrot their words

[frosty horizon]

have you made games before? no hate just curious

how can you speak on developer procedures without having developed things yourself?

surely that makes your point irrelevant?

again no hate

Ok bud

[gloomy grove]

I don't think you're listening

I've explained it before. Read back. but this conversation has gone in a circular fashion so I don't think there is any more need for it to continue

[frosty horizon]

I find it the same as picking up someones keys if you see them drop their keys, just a helpful thing to do

[glad pasture]

Ok Guys / Gals enough is enough we have a BUG report system #bug-reporting for a reason here or you can put it in feedback #pc-feedback once it’s been reported the Dev’s in the artistic team will fix it. There is also a P.T.E. PUBLIC TEST ENVIRONMENT to involve all our members here who are willing to help and report any thing they may find.

[frosty horizon]

I don't think i'm going to understand where you're coming from bud so I'll leave it for now

[gloomy grove]

Jaguar has stated this conversation should end. Respect the decision

[unkempt storm]

War do be like this sometimes, don’t it

[glad pasture]

The Development Team @ Black Matter do have in -house testers and quality control unfortunately they cannot find every single BUG / GLITCH before an update or patch release. Therefore, they have requested the assistance and help from members here who are willing to do so. BUG reporting will help the programmers to quickly and efficiently** FIX / PATCH **in preparation for the next Update.

[tall orchid]

johnyss, im designing a three-phase DCS system for a circulating dry scrubber - i need to be able to configure the I/O cards on the fly using a 12VDC feedback loop, but all i have available is 120VAC and no way to invert the voltage until after the CHARMs cabinet. it appears to me as if you're an expert in things you know nothing about, would you care to take a look at my autocad files and give me suggestions?

thanks in advance

dont worry i will

thanks

[pallid blade]

My suggestion would be to input the number "69" into your files and see how that goes. Otherwise, I'm no help to you either ;)

[tall orchid]

will try that - i have labelled every temperature indicating transmitter in my block diagram 'TIT'

so thats a start

tho i doubt it'll make it past the chief engineer, he's a crusty old fuck with no sense of humor

[pallid blade]

Sounds good to me! Nothing can go wrong now

[tall orchid]

this is the way

[pallid blade]

This is the way

[fierce thicket]

damn small world, you work at Emerson?

[tall orchid]

i do sometimes on contract, tho this bit is for siemens

[dawn widget]

good mording

[fierce thicket]

left the industry a long time ago, but my first ever job out of uni was with Emerson doing garbage work in DeltaV. DCS systems are so obscure that it's super hard to meet someone else working with them

[tall orchid]

pcs7 for life

i started off doing power for heavy industrial, realized there's a inverse relationship between the size of a Thing and the money you make doing it, so i branched off

nowadays i do cush datacenter stuff for dod and contract with PLC firms if i get bored

[dawn widget]

Well that was not fun

[ivory loom]

learn french

[dawn widget]

No I just find another server but it’s what ever not really mad

[ivory loom]

rare to see sensible people around

[dawn widget]

Well I mean they were nice about it

[unkempt storm]

Uncommon from the French (jokes)

[unkempt storm]

Although interesting that they put it in French too, if you were kicked for not speaking French lol

[dawn widget]

its my fault to the ping was good but its a role playing server

i still new to the game

[warped silo]

The make their own rules, but that is utter discrimanation

[fierce thicket]

maybe, but often if you have a xx/ENG server it ends up being awkward where there's one language dominating and the english speakers are "Brushed aside"

and doing split comms is a nightmare

so the french basically said - fuck it, we have a big enough community to force french only and the rest can fuck off 🤷‍♂️

[fervent light]

I've got a question

Does anyone else find that people are insanely hard to hear in game? Most people have their mic volume setting turned WAY down

[frosty horizon]

local is really quiet but squad and command are super loud

in my experience nayway

[signal harness]

I'm pretty sure local chat is based on proximity, so if a person is further away they sound quieter. If they are right next to you they will sound the same as command/squad chat.

[warped silo]

This.

[fervent light]

I'm talking about Squad VC as well

Some people sound normal

most sound quiet

[prime quartz]

might be them then

you ahve a setting for your audio

and a setting for their audio

if they have their personal audio low then its going to be harder to hear them. Nothing you can do.

THey could alsojust have a bad mic setup

[signal harness]

have you adjusted you sound settings? I reduced SFX and increased voice

That too, people with a bad mic setup or issues on their end

[frosty horizon]

Nah even then they’re super quiet. Probably something on my machine

[naive spoke]

hey if i quit the game right after commending someone do i lose my xp for the match? I quit too fast and didn't realize the level up screen hadn't come up yet

[tall orchid]

you keep the xp, you might lose your bonuses tho

Hi guys, I've been hearing many good things about this game and am interested in playing. That said, I used to play Post Scriptum and I quit because of issues with framerate. Could one of you please tell me if my specs are good enough to run this game without lagging / losing FPS? Thank you

Graphics Card: NVidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Six-Core Processor GHz

Installed RAM: 8 GB

[dawn widget]

I am not sure if it will be enough for a smooth play

8GB is the 1st critical thing, you need 16

at least

[uncut jasper]

The RAM will be an issue for sure

Their card should be acceptable for 1080p60, same with the processor. It’s really the RAM that’s gonna hold them back

[rocky heart]

2070 super and 32gb of RAM, Ryzen 7 3700x, no problem with 144 FPS on "high" settings at 1080

[vast root]

Hmmmm yea I heard from another friend on a different game that my RAM might be holding me back, you think the graphics card is ok though?

So theoretically, if I installed more RAM I could play with 60FPS?

[dawn widget]

I am not sure but CPU also could bottleneck you

[dawn widget]

no guaranteed

[uncut jasper]

1660Ti is solid, it should be fine. There’s another guy in the supporter chat that runs a 1660 Super or 1650, I believe

[dawn widget]

I heard that even some people with RTX 3080 are having problems

[vast root]

Hmmmmm ok... This might be one of those games that I don't play til I eventually get a new computer

[dawn widget]

it depends though, even people with same GPUs can have different performance

you will have to try it out

[vast root]

Yea but RAM isn't cheap and I'm technologically illiterate so installing more would not only be costly financially but also in terms of time cause I'd have to teach myself computer stuff

Thanks for your feedback

[uncut jasper]

RAM is super cheap nowadays

[dawn widget]

you need to try it and in case of bad performance, use Steam refund within 2h of gameplay

[solid ruin]

1080ti has been solid and im streaming on the same oc

[verbal sigil]

targeting what? 1080p/30fps on Low to Medium? The required and recommended specs need a refresh

[neon meadow]

n word

[amber badger]

the respawn timer, when I dont click the spawn it reset and start counting again. Is it normal or bug?

[unkempt storm]

Normal, you need to select on the list where you want to deploy first, and then click deploy. You deploy when it gets to 0. If you haven’t clicked deploy by that time, you have to wait until it counts to 0 again

[calm solstice]

hey stupid question, was wondering if anyone know a good video or have a photo of the new armor hit boxes? the new armor re-work has thrown me and my group off are game and are struggling to re-learn armor

[normal pike]

I'm not aware of anything, but I keep an eye on The Exiled Jedi on YouTube for when they do some testing

[wintry quiver]

I have an rx 580 and I get better performance then my buddy with a 2080.

[cinder herald]

Anyone know how to make your personal marker on the map more visible? I can barely see it and sometimes i just give up the game as i can't even see myself on the damn map!

[dawn widget]

does this game have a campaign?

[pastel mauve]

no

they're supposed to add one eventually

according to their roadmap

[dawn widget]

oh ok

[worthy path]

Any spanish speaker group?

[atomic orchid]

dude

you need to hear my pc when i play this game

im scared if its gonna explode

[amber badger]

we have a big spanish community with 1800 members. I'll PM you the invite link to discord

[zenith wadi]

@amber badger could you send me the link 2

[amber badger]

Sent

We have the link too in #spanish channel

[gloomy grove]

That won't be a single player campaign, fyi. It'll be a series of multiplayer maps played out together to form a 'narrative' of sorts. I.e. The outcome of one map will affect the start of the next

[pastel mauve]

like bf1 operations?

[gloomy grove]

RAM is super easy to install. Just don't go into it with the mindset of 'oh I'm technologically illiterate so I can't do it'. Instead, just go into it knowing you'll learn how to do something new. It's not any harder than playing with lego

[gloomy grove]

No idea. Never played it

[uncut jasper]

Pretty much like Operations or what RS2 had.

[tall orchid]

That’s the idea, yeah

[opaque vale]

if u place nodes with engi then swap class, are they still up?

[atomic pulsar]

Yea

[opaque vale]

nice thx

[vast root]

Thanks, I'm not too concerned about figuring out how to install it, it's more just that I'm incurring a risk by buying it to begin with cause I don't know if my computer will be able to handle it even after installation

[normal pike]

If you play less than two hours you can get a refund (I actually did this on my laptop with HLL. Then I overclocked it, tried again, great success)

1300 hours later.... I built a PC for one game hahah

[snow grotto]

They should add mine flayers

Mines are so annoying to remove

And sometimes u dont even see them

And ppl mine roads next to the HQs

They dont even need to be anything new

They can just be a medium tank with the flayer in the front

[tall orchid]

someone just died to a mine

[unkempt storm]

I can appreciate your point, but this is the point of a mine tbh

[normal hawk]

!!

I hate AT mines lol, have to nade them in order to blow up

Though there always should be an active scout looking at the roads

Depends on the map

[dawn widget]

so you can have 6 armored squads and even more manned vehicles if squad members take several vehicles

[fervent light]

@fluid nebula wc lvl?

[fluid nebula]

?

[tall orchid]

they instakill anything that isnt a heavy tank

50% hull damage, 100% track damage for heavies iirc

[static maple]

hey im looking for a clan that doesnt have bullshit arbitrary rules such as "Need to change name to be more realistic" and "have to stick around through a 1.5 hour q and a session even if you dont have questions"

im looking to avoid any bullshit such as that

[gloomy grove]

66% hull or 66% track depending on which hitbox it touches

For mediums just change the numbers to 75%

100% for lights and recons. I.e. death

[dawn widget]

I survived my 1st truck ride after AT mine blew up under me

no injury, no damage

maybe a random factor is there too

[tall orchid]

since the latest update? truck hitboxes are wild rn

[dawn widget]

yes since the last

help

im hearing people talking after i quit

[normal hawk]

Apologies for the late reply! But I think I've seen differences in spawning all the actual vehicles for certain maps

Think the max I have seen on Omaha for Germany was 5 at a time

Oh man every time it insta kills me! Sorry for the late reply too. And I do agree that they should be buried in the ground, but if they add that. Maybe add unusual pattern to the ground? Just so it isn'tf meta..

Or per usual, avoid big roads

And I just realized I am talking to the same person lol, I might have had too much to drink

Open task manager and terminate the game process. Sometimes the game doesn’t actually close and will stay open in the background

[glad pasture]

Go to Library and search buy name Hell Let Loose (Public testing)

[calm grotto]

nope, not there

[dawn widget]

Add me I’m NA West

[gritty notch]

Earlier today, I shot a grenade at the enemy, and no teammates were in front of me. I didn't have a mic, so I couldn't warn anyone. However, a teammate just came out of nowhere, from behing me, and walked right into the grenade, just as it exploded.

Will I get punished for team killing?

[unkempt storm]

No way of telling, it’s up to them to decide. I never punish unless it’s blatantly obvious that it was intentional. Accidental team kill punishments only hurt the team by having the other person wait an extra 10 seconds to deploy. Punish system needs a rework, though, as has been long known

[gritty notch]

alright

what kind of punishments can happen?

[unkempt storm]

If whoever died does want to punish who killed them, it just adds an extra 10 seconds per team kill to their redeploy timer

Unless it’s like, a serial offender (lol) and then the server can kick them.

[gritty notch]

wow

[verbal sigil]

Punishing is weird, AFAIK, there are two "punishments" - you will ALWAYS get +10s on your respawn for a TK, even if they don't formally punish you (and I think it still says you were punished X times anyway)

[gritty notch]

alright

lol

[verbal sigil]

I believe the punishing that happens when they click yes adds to a tally the server tracks

and when it hits a threshold it kicks you

[gritty notch]

oh

alright

[dawn widget]

boot camp

trolled

[glad ridge]

So I have googled and watched youtube videos, but could not find the answer to this question. I have been playing artillery, and have noticed that the HUD range and the map range of a marker is different. Which is accurate?

[warm knot]

I'm not sure myself, but I've had success by splitting the difference between the two

it's never been too big a difference to make or break the accuracy in my experience

I'd lean more towards the map distance being accurate because your position is offset by being on the artillery gun

[glad ridge]

I have been getting good hits but honestly I didn’t catch the range difference until today. I have been using each method randomly until now.

I’m not sure exactly how much a 2-3 degree difference would make due to the somewhat random landing location but I’d imagine it would be pretty significant

[warm knot]

unless you're trying to nail a stationary tank, I wouldn't worry about it too much

even before the artillery dispersion was increased, I could always get within +/-3 mils and I would be roughly on target

[empty lintel]

Hey anyone wanna team up?

[normal hawk]

Sometimes the voices are still there because

A, you can't escape hell let loose

B: your comrades are telling you to return the battlefield in 20 seconds w

Or C: they are cursing your house, something along the lines of "o plague be on both your houses!"

Even a moist towl can't escape

Towel

[orchid delta]

Most of German servers enforce GER mic as well... Communication is bad as it is already in this game, I agree with communities selecting the language spoken on the server. Its not about discriminating its about everyone understanding the comms for a better gameplay

[dawn widget]

i am curious how often game makers respond to the posts in #new-member-feedback ?

because I havent seen any recation since I joined

or is there some dedicated channel new people cant see yet?

[glad pasture]

Check #pte-info for all the information PTE is live Now.

[slim fractal]

See #pte-update13 and click ✅ and you are able to see it.

Interesting

[gloomy grove]

They don't necessarily always respond, but they do read it

We get some responses in the other feedback channel new members can't see

[glad pasture]

Check now

[atomic orchid]

yes i hate it

its hard to find english servers

i always get kicked in french server bastards

even tho im carrying their fat baguette ass

[slim fractal]

There are for example 10 x EXODUS servers. Couple 82ADs, couple 2Fjgs, plenty of others.

[atomic orchid]

they are generally full

i dont want to wait in queue

[slim fractal]

There are plenty where there is room. I know the server browser can be overwhelming but in your case, it seems the best course of action would be to just add every ENG server in your favs so you would have all those available at glance. You can get familiar with the server base here easily: https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/hll

Then just search the community names in the server menu and ⭐ those. One-time job but makes it easier for the future joining. Unless you want to join a community or a team as usually many offers VIP slots for free for their own members.

[atomic orchid]

i dont really think that community and team thing is fresh

i rather play alone

its not my thing

[amber badger]

Bro

You are playing a 100 players game. How are you going to play alone?

[dawn widget]

I'd say you bought the wrong game if you wanted to play it alone originally

[amber badger]

Autism in this game it's really punishable

[edgy prawn]

is there any SEA ping based community

i really want to find one. 😦

when i paly in CN server the ping is really enjoyable. but the language is killing me

i even translate this

[frosty horizon]

?

[unkempt storm]

At first I was afraid, I was petrified, but I think he means he’d rather not play like with a group of friends or people, as opposed to not play as part of a team lol

[cursive geyser]

Personally, I just wish more people had unlocked infantry units. I am still in the 'bullets come out which end?' stage of my learning curve, and I keep ending up as an officer

[astral seal]

Where on the map do I need to bring the supply trucks? I bought this game because being a helpful truck driver sounded fun, but so far I think I’ve been useless

[ivory loom]

drop supplies near players who need them or to places where they'd be of use

[astral seal]

But WHERE would they be of use

[cosmic sigil]

since front line nodes arent a thing anymore (to get higher ticks) you could drop them off at the closest to spawn point and have engies build their nodes

[ivory loom]

develop map awareness, what place are people wanting to defend, where they want to build nodes

[astral seal]

Ok thank you

[cosmic sigil]

1 box drops 150 supply which is enough for 1 engy to build all 3 nodes, then he could swap classes in this squad and have someone else go engy and rinse and repeat

[amber badger]

its a mix of things. People usually dont want to play as and officer and many new players are afraid to do it

[unkempt storm]

It might be best to communicate with your SL (or be an SL) to communicate with commander on where they want or need them, as well, if they’re placing priority on nodes or a red zone garry, perhaps, etc

[granite quail]

It's super intimidating, I'm a terrible FPS player, having all those balls in the air at once (leading, fighting, listening, scoping, map awareness, communication skills to get orders out efficiently) is super difficult. However, The more I play officer, the more I enjoy it and the more effective I get at it. The officer role is in my opinion the most potentially fun with the highest learning curve. But that's just me, yo.

[amber badger]

at level 10 i started to being an officer

because no one wanted to do it

Just try to do as best as you can and learn on every game. And communicate and order your squad

Its difficult and exhausting, but rewarding

[naive spoke]

hey i don't know any good SEA community, but I regularly play on EU servers with about 200ish millisecond ping, and I never feel any lag. Though for you Australian servers might be closer.

Chinese servers are closer to me but there isn't much teamwork/communication on there so I don't play there

[cosmic sigil]

plenty of you sea folks play on our aus servers

[cursive geyser]

Pretty much all of my gameplay has been as an officer

Because it was the only way I could get 'in' on most servers

I got lucky, and someone had to give me the 'magic wristwatch' talk

[left swift]

how does artillery work can someone teach me?

[gloomy grove]

Put a mark on the map, get the distance (between 100-1600m), put it into a calculator. Move the gun (A,D) to aim at the mark. If you can't move the gun, move to the loader seat (F2) and move the gun. Load a shell (R). Go to the shooting seat (F1). Move the guns angle (W/S) to whatever the calculator told you. It shows you what angle you're at down in the bottom right. Shoot (left click).

Assume it kills everything within like 50m of your mark, so don't do it near friendlies.

The hardest part is working out where to fire it at, but that comes with experience

[cosmic sigil]

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=appinventor.ai_florian_heilinger.HLL_Artillery_Calculator_RC1&hl=en_AU&gl=US
ping or a map marker thats already out, line up the arty with it, input distance thats listed on said markers, adjust elevation with what the app says. thats the one i use theres a few others that show up on google

are you guys retarded ? i mean i dont want to play with a team

i just want to chill alone

this is not cs or rainbow six

its basic english

[warm knot]

go play a different game then

[atomic orchid]

this community is really stupid

[unkempt storm]

He means not play with a group of friends lol.

[atomic orchid]

i didnt mean i want to play it singleplayer

[modern rampart]

Basic English, which you apparently don't grasp, otherwise you would have seen that this is no singleplayer game.

[atomic orchid]

yeah you are stupid

dont talk with me

[modern rampart]

speak English, please.

[atomic orchid]

i dont want to be a part of a group

i meant i dont want to join a clan or something

[unkempt storm]

Not a single player game*, English please

[modern rampart]

you don't have to. It works like any other multiplayer game.

[amber badger]

Can someone ban this clown?

[modern rampart]

it would either be: singleplayer or single-player. English please.

[cosmic sigil]

you can play anyway you want tbh, unless the game server states otherwise in the rules

[atomic orchid]

yeah and i said i want to play it alone i dont want to join a community the guy offered me to join

"Unless you want to join a community or a team as usually many offers VIP slots for free for their own members."

[unkempt storm]

English starts sentences with capitals, English please.

[atomic orchid]

so im the clown here ? you dont understand me and call me clown that doesnt make sense

i didnt mean i want to play singleplayer in first place

[unkempt storm]

He literally said he didn’t want to play on a team, not play as part of a team.

[atomic orchid]

.

thank you finally someone understands.

[unkempt storm]

Welcome to the extraordinarily welcoming community, noir 🙂

[modern rampart]

We ain't perfect but at least we aren't Post Scriptum's community.

[ivory loom]

just don't join one?

[atomic orchid]

i almost break my keyboard i was like"am i the problem why people didnt understand me i just meant i dont want to join a unit or something i rather playing with random ppl

[atomic orchid]

yes thats what i said to him

[ivory loom]

that sounds worrying

[atomic orchid]

im not flaming anyone or something because i dont want to join

i just said i rather play with random people

[slim fractal]

Maybe this threw people off. As "i rather play alone" indicates lonewolfing meta instead of grouping up and teamwork in a server.

I don't think anybody forced you to join a team or anything.

[atomic orchid]

i mean its true that i love lonewolfing

and i know nobody forced me to join

i just said unit thing is not fresh for me i rather play single (i dont mean singleplayer)

[fast stone]

What does it take to get upgraded name color?

[dawn widget]

to be a kickstarter veteran

[rancid cipher]

Whatever u say bud

[rancid cipher]

Be an artist idk

[atomic orchid]

🍴

[unkempt storm]

Years of deep research, education, and experience

And you need to know how to bake cupcakes

[crimson badger]

Promote the game on Youtube or twitch

[lean orchid]

Most ranks in the discord are for people who backed the Kickstarter.

If you run a community, play the game on YouTube/Twitch regularly, or create artistic works about HLL, there are other roles available

[unkempt storm]

So… you mean to say, no baking?

[median ivy]

No CTE for console?

[glad pasture]

A Separate Team are working on the Console side:
As a studio, we are very keen to be able to continue to focus on polishing the PC title and working through community feedback. Although Black Matter has grown over the course of development, we are still aware that Hell Let Loose on PC alone is a mammoth game that demands full-time attention.
Due to this, we are working very closely with our friends at Flix Interactive - a fantastic development studio who work closely with Rare on multiple aspects of Sea of Thieves, including console development. They have a dedicated team working full time on the console conversion of Hell Let Loose in conjunction with us here at Black Matter.

[median ivy]

So who’s discord do I join for console HLL specifically since this one does not pertain to that?

[glad pasture]

I can ask the Development team when they will be creating a separate Console area here in discord.: The exact release date is going to be announced in the coming months, but it will follow our release from Early Access as we feel it is important to attain a base level of quality and optimisation across the entire title, as well as polishing and fixing outstanding bugs and issues - both technically and in the metagame. As we have said before though, our release from Early Access will signify another step on the ongoing development journey of Hell Let Loose. We are excited to continue working with the community to expand and refine the experience.

[next oasis]

a separate "console area" is just asking for a shit storm

[warm knot]

just let it happen

[glad ridge]

there was someone that tested it and confirmed that the map was the correct way of getting range when using artillery.

[warm knot]

great to hear, thanks for confirming

[still pier]

why tf

is kicked for high ping a thing

no gamer has perfect god damn internet

doesnt exactly mean im not good at the game

[warm knot]

yes, each server can set their ping limit

[still pier]

Bs

[warm knot]

it's pretty fair seeing that a single spike won't kick you, it has to be sustained for a few seconds iirc

[still pier]

like i pay fucking money

for this game

for me to not be able to play it

then i get a harddrive

now im being kicked for ping

does the game want me to fuckin upgrade to play their ww2 shooter?

To me its not fair at all considering i put money in to the game to be able to play it

[warm knot]

official servers don't kick for high ping iirc

[uncut jasper]

Get better internet then, don't know what else can be done

[gray mica]

@still pier I used to get kicked alot for ping way back in the day, its a loading issue, youre computer is taking too long to load the map, so it just kicks you.

Fix:Load the game onto an ssd. I have a cheap external 60 dollar one and I still load in quick enough to not get kicked and even abit faster than most others

If you're getting kicked mid match, then idk what to tell you, use ethernet or get better internet

[still pier]

nononono

i play the game fine

ye

i get kicked mid match

[gloomy grove]

What servers are you joining, and what ping do you have for them?

[still pier]

multiple

but the servers alone have a high ping and so do others

ironically i got kicked for high ping in a brazillian server

i have like 100 ping or les

[gloomy grove]

Did you say the servers have high ping but you don't?

That's not how that works

Ping is the time it takes to pass information between you and server

[dawn widget]

Do the official servers ever really see high numbers? Maybe its because I'm over here in Asia, but I only ever see like less than 10 people in them.

Am I looking in the wrong place?

[cosmic sigil]

no active admins to keep things even so everyone plays on community servers instead

we do have plenty of folks from your region play with us on the aus servers

[dawn widget]

Aha - any recommendations? The list of server names still looks like a wall of cuneiform to me

[naive spoke]

i just go with any english speaking server tbh, as long as its under 200ms ping for me

and instead of joining the 90+ player servers i pick 70-80ish ones since there aren't queues there yet

[cosmic sigil]

i normally play on bigd servers if im able to

[dawn widget]

Roger that

[normal pike]

Yep, all players welcome at BigD 🙂

[dawn widget]

good mording @normal pike

[normal pike]

Morning mate how are you

[edgy prawn]

any division that based in bigdgaming/australian server?

want to join. im bored playing with random squad. sometimes fun sometimes so silence and no goals

[gloomy grove]

You can search in: #pc-divisions-recruitment for Australia and you'll find a few. Main ones seem to be AIF and BigD

[atomic orchid]

does anyone know how can i use satchel charge effectively

[gloomy grove]

It'll take out tanks in one go if placed on the rear.

It'll clear out buildings as well.

It's useful to take out a cluster of nodes.

Those are the three main use cases

[atomic orchid]

shouldnt i put on the back of a tank

[gloomy grove]

That is what I said

[atomic orchid]

ah okay i misunderstood

[unkempt storm]

Satchel goes big boom

[fervent light]

Thanks, Drew.
Very nice

[dawn grail]

what's the best way to learn the game? i'm still having a hard time knowing what is going on at all.

[glad pasture]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaY27yiOPPA

[dawn grail]

thanks

[unkempt storm]

or call you a clown and laugh you right out of the building 😦

it's a toss up

[halcyon zealot]

why did the player count drop so badly

[halcyon zealot]

now exactly

the playerbase was big before the update

[median ivy]

@glad pasture thank you for the detailed response, a separate console area would be most welcomed as most of the issues that will pop up will have already been handled on pc

[thick tinsel]

does anyone elses chat box close when they type c?

[crimson badger]

Certain keybinds interfere with typing in chat. I had to re-bind the scoreboard from M key to Numpad 7 cause the scoreboard kept showing up whenever I wanted to type a word that included the letter m.

[pallid blade]

The playerbase was low before the update. Peaked at and because of the update and will slowly drop off. End of August or so will show you what the average player numbers are like

[halcyon zealot]

thats really weird then, because a few month prior the playerbase was much larger

idk stuff happens ig

[autumn rose]

Actually if you compare the player base spikes and drops between u9 and u10 you see that the playerbase after u10 is dropping at a much steeper incline than u9

But we still have time to see

[gloomy grove]

Where are you getting that information from?

[neat onyx]

Only started last night, how do you see how many kills you got in a match?

[cosmic sigil]

score screen, bottom left personal stats

[fading star]

If only we had A TUTORIAL to help you learn the basics of the game .. don't worry I am sure that devs are looking into it

[fading star]

Bad updates .

[frosty horizon]

more ppl are playing now than have ever played though

[slim fractal]

Anyone can observe themselves: https://steamcharts.com/app/686810

[neat onyx]

Thank you

[dawn widget]

Hey there. I noticed this game on YT few days ago, seems interesting. I wonder if I should buy or not, but 40 € is quite a lot. Is it worth the fortune?

[cosmic sigil]

what are you hoping for, comparing it to other mill sims if need be

[dawn widget]

How so?

@dawn widget

I dont think it matters what I am hoping for, I want to get some opinions first of people.

asking in general

I don't know, you started with a mix, so give me a mixed version 😄

camps?

oh

That’s quite a lot of confusing information my man.

[cosmic sigil]

hopefully the next patch fixes a lot of those fps issues like it mentions

[dawn widget]

So in short it sounds like it is not worth of the 40 € I suppose. At least not yet.

[weak rampart]

if they add flame throwers they should cap only 2 per team

and cap all specialist roles (anything that isnt rifleman, medic, machinegunner, or anti tank) to 4 per team

i think thatd help balance

id like to see people almost forced to be rifleman, full squads of every role make little sense

[dawn widget]

I hated battlefield, I guess the arcade and political corectness bullshit can't go any further. I guess I will think twice about it then.

[cosmic sigil]

i think lowering the amount of ammo folks carry would be good, so people play ammo support for a reason

[weak rampart]

game is better than BFV

compare HLL to RO2

i see a lot of the old RO2 players playing HLL

[dawn widget]

i wouldnt compare it to RO2 either however

[weak rampart]

i would, its the closest thing to it

other than, of course, other titles produced by the same devs such as RS2

HLL is promising

compared to others

post scriptum for instance

there are issues with HLL, but id say its getting there, I know heaps of old RO2 players who have made the jump and think itll be worthy

at least in the australian community

its very tight knit here

[dawn widget]

What? How? Do you have a spare key you would be willing to give me? That would be most kind of you my man 💟

[amber badger]

I put 50 hours in 1 week. 1€ per day, worth those 40€

[weak rampart]

HLL is the only squad based WW2 fps ive enjoyed, aside from RO

[dawn widget]

What you guys are saying is that the game is getting somewhere, but not just yet, but if you would give me one I might push that aside 😄

[weak rampart]

everything else has made me grit my teeth and want to kms

[amber badger]

The game it's completely right to enjoy rn. Recently it go out EA and the full development it's just 2 years. If you compare it to Squad that is a game that started in 2015, HLL still have a lot to improve (not from a bad spot I mean). This game just can be better an better every patch

[weak rampart]

comparing this to squad

[dawn widget]

aaah

But a robin hood like? What do you mean? And how could have he got a free key in the first place?

I want to work for the key too then. What can I do, where?

I would be happy to do something if it gave me a free key.

Why would he do anything bad to himself, is he some kind of psycho?

Ok, I didn’t mean to offend you @delicate juniper, sorry I guess I could have used other words. Anyway I wouldn’t want to get a key for the game I am not sure if I would keep playing, it could get wasted on me. But if somebody would insist, I would undergo that Odyssey… 😄 I was hoping if I could get the key for rather working.

If I am right, I saw on the videos that matches are 1 hour and 30 minutes long, I can't try out much under those circumstances. When is a closest free weekend then?

Ok, I will just wait and see then, watch more videos meanwhile. I will probably return if there would be the free weekend and decide afterwards.
Bye.

[slim fractal]

[ivory loom]

was promising*

[ivory loom]

""""""company"""""" based, RO2 did their squads (within one platoon) kinda well, HLL doesn't come even close to how they did it

[weak rampart]

Obercope

[slow grove]

Tf is with bazookas having more rockets than pamzershrek

[modern rampart]

that's gonna change in the upcoming patch

2 rockets for both US and GER

[slow grove]

I mean yea it makes no sense, bazookas even if you make them do less damage to tanks, still can take out infantry, OP's, light vehicles in larger capacity

While 2 rockets on panzershreck do fuck all on tanks (yes from the side and the back)

[uncut wolf]

2 panzerschreck in the butt should take out anything medium or lower I think

[dawn widget]

good mording

[slow grove]

They should make it have sense

[languid plume]

hi, i dont know if any staff is around but i love the game personnally, the only thing i would love to see more visible shirt and stuff for medic to make them more obvious to see, which you have in usa side , the helmet mostly and the arm patch but recognize a medic as well for the german side, which is a boomer to me, i'm suggesting to add this as a new outfit for high medic level to choose for exemple, for all factions its own recognizable one( i dont know about Urss but german had those )

[slow grove]

How tf are 2 rockets in the engine block gonna blow up the tank

[slow grove]

But a rocket that hits the ammo rack can easily blow it up

Ik they cant make it realistic to that point but at least make the tank lose some ammo due to its stowage being fucked up

[unkempt storm]

Didn’t most people not want to advertise themselves as medics?

Genuinely curious

Apparently no one in this game wants to observe the Geneva convention (jokes)

[languid plume]

i mean in this game you get shot no matters what

so i d rather be wearing that and be recognizable ^^

at least give me the choice ^^ but dont force people into it ofc

[unkempt storm]

Just make it a green cross and you can get around it 🤷‍♂️

“Vice versa, the convention also states that no medic should carry a weapon, or be seen engaged in combat.”, damn, we ain’t even out here playing medics dude, we’ve been lied to

[languid plume]

yeah but its a game ^^ and in reality they were often given a pistol

[unkempt storm]

Henceforth, I shall only remain in the HQ. If any person needs a medic, they will need to come to me.

[languid plume]

i mean yeah being able of carrying an ally body would be great

[misty vector]

Hey guys, my first time here.

I get my first gaming pc delivered on Monday and literally cannot explain my excitement for Hell Let Loose.

See you on the battlefield

[dry glen]

Hi Guys, new here. Played a few games HLL…loving it. It’s the first shooter I have played since Wolfenstein somewhere in the early nineties. Getting killed every few minutes, but still having big fun playing HLL.

[neat onyx]

How do crawl? Can’t seem to find it

[uncut wolf]

Z is the default prone key I think

[tropic canyon]

how do I shot gun

[prime quartz]

left click

rules is for off-topic and PTE is for the PTE channel

players from pre-release do not get the conscript role

i assume conscripts cannot see the saltier channels

and are kicked into boot

but anyone with a white name joined the discord during EA

might be that they joined the discord but didn;t post

dunno, the roles you have were added at release of the game

[low wadi]

I mean I don’t have the game but I am working on trying to get money for it

[median ivy]

Get on that grind

[gritty notch]

Does anyone know, are planes coming to HLL?

[verbal sigil]

they are not

[normal pike]

Welcome @misty vector @dry glen !!

[austere atlas]

Good luck. I hope it'll be worth it

[low wadi]

yea one more day and my mom said she would buy it for me

im also playing enlisted

[austere atlas]

well, when you do get it, don't be afraid to ask for help in-game. A guy who doesn't know what he's doing is a lot more annoying than a guy who asks too many questions

[normal pike]

Absolutely. Jump in a squad and ask what they need

[low wadi]

When I get it so you guys wanna hope in a group and play?

And sorry Bc I was looking for a general and a place to talk so this place looked like something I could try

[normal pike]

What region are you from? Have a look in #pc-divisions-recruitment and see if there are some groups close to you, join in and say hi. Most players on here are really accomodating of new players

[dry glen]

Thanks for the welcome @normal pike !

[slim fractal]

@hexed burrow

Sorry new and my excitement has the very best of me chomping at my bits. I’m a console player but I’ve had my eyes on this game forever. When’s this thing hitting consoles? Is there a closed beta? How can I get into it? I honestly have so many questions lol
You are posting that in #legacy-event-announcements 🤷

[dusty bear]

Hello

I bought the game two days ago and it's an absolute blast

by blast, I mean me being blasted by people I can't see, tanks I can't see and artillery I can't see

[gloomy grove]

Stop running around. Don't run in the open. If your team mate dies, don't run where he was standing. Use your ears. Tanks are loud. Planes are loud. Katuysha is loud. Hear those things? Get in a building

[normal pike]

follow your squaddie, see what they do

[glad pasture]

Check this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaY27yiOPPA

[fast stone]

The best advice someone wrote was: Look with your eyes, not your mouse. Slow down. Take your time before moving in the open. Hold your mouse still and focus on an area, wait to see movement and focus your fire on that. Moving the mouse around, you miss movement details. Helpful if you’re getting whacked by unseen infantry.

[late jackal]

Any more recommended beginner videos besides monoespacial? Still feel like I'm missing things

[normal pike]

Wild Bill jammin does good stuff

[gloomy grove]

That was me on Reddit I believe 😁

[reef wigeon]

I heard from my a group a vague clue to tweaking a file called dw12 to improve FPS, is it true?

[reef wigeon]

Oh that one, gotcha

[low wadi]

Man I see potential

For this game

[reef wigeon]

Anyone on PTE w/ a non-chonky graphic card, how's the FPS when you look trhu scope/binocs? I really hope optimizations improved cuz am playing HLL w/ an office-type core I7 laptop and it's annoying with the choppy motions whenever I try to assist my mate w/ recon and my only choice would be close-quarter combat

[reef wigeon]

Indeed, it's one helluva game, just needa better optimizations and maybe add boot camp option for newbies and it'll go thru the roof

[low wadi]

Yeah

Rn I was playing enlisted until I got the game

[gloomy grove]

If it's any consolation I was running a good GPU previously and the German scope would regularly tank my FPS to 15

[humble breach]

Hey guys, i am a bit confused.. i got an HLL email that inform me about the 2 DLC´s to buy and " If iam a kickstarter or paypal?" i should watch for an email with the DLC bundle key.. i buyed this game in 2019 in steam and payed with Paypal.. but havent a Email with the keys.. and ingame are the 3 new helmets of the germans and US .. and the Jacket from RUS are grey.. So am i dumb, is it a bug or can i dont get this cosmetics? i just wanted the german helmets from this DLC.. Is there any chance for me?

[humble breach]

this is a Engine issue i think.. did u tried to set FX, shadow and post procces on med? FoV to 120 ?

[gloomy grove]

Yes, I used those settings

[humble breach]

i can post you a link from a steam guide that push your fps.. if u want you can try this.

[humble breach]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2370352811

[low wadi]

Easy to make friends here (even if I’m 14)

[signal harness]

Some of the DLC is only available for kickstarters. If you bought the game on steam, then you probably didn't support the kickstarter. They sent out a code to all kickstarter backers for those DLCs.

[gloomy grove]

Yep. My game runs fine. It's just the scope. It is caused by the same reason increased FoV increases FPS in this game.

[humble breach]

ok damn.. is there any chance to get this with another way? That would really be sad and sry but bullsh*t. why they dont give this exclusive cosmetics everyone who played HLL in Early acces / who played HLL über 200h or something.. its sad that they block a extra clothing because i buyed the game wrong or few days to late.. im waiting for these Black helmets for months

[signal harness]

Sorry, but I don't think so

[humble breach]

ok hmm.. i got the issue when i play sniper that the buildings arent rendering over 150m and this causes that i cant see an enemy in a building thats not rendered.. only if he walks out of it, they pop up.. idk whats wrong

[humble breach]

this is for real in my opinion stupid non sense.. -.- damn..

[slim fractal]

Few days late? Try 2 years late

Kickstarter was a period in 2017

[humble breach]

And how long was this " event" ?

[slim fractal]

🤷 Who remembers

[humble breach]

ok i watched my history.. i buyed it exactly at the EA release date in steam 6 june 19 .. mh damn okay then its my bad i think.. alright.. thanks guys for the quick answers. Good luck ingame

[low wadi]

And Karma is my favorite YouTuber to watch hell let loose

[scenic sleet]

Hi! New here and new to the game, loving it so far. watching some guides and saw some dude wielding the mp40 and the panzershreck. how do i do this? can you customize loadouts?

[cosmic sigil]

how old is the video @scenic sleet

because the mp40 AT now has AT mines and satchels now

[scenic sleet]

1 may2021

older footage i assume then

[vagrant furnace]

It's before the U10 or If you want, Game launch

[humble breach]

before U10 was released the 2. Loadout of the AT class was a MP40 Panzerfaust and 4 mines. 1 and 3 was Kar98 with 1. Loadout : Panzerschreck and the 2. with a Satchel.
The new loadouts are in my opinion a downgrade.. the Satchel should be in the 3. loadout with the PAK .. and the MP40 with Panzerfaust and mines.. the first loadout is good. but its just my opinion.. 🤔

[rich forum]

I'm just saying... but they should maybe add Pistol(main) and RPG(secondary) and 2 smokes...

gonna be a whole team of suicide AT's

[humble breach]

yes exactly.. every time i play HLL i got min. 1 time the situation that my loadout doesnt have a Hammer, Nades, smokes or Pistol..
when i think about the real ww2, everybody had a Handgun and minimum 2 Nades.. and when they had to build something, they got a Box full of Hammer and Wrenches included.. maybe they can change it to a Toolbox for Supplies that everybody who interact with this box can build in a range of a few meters.. i dont get it why some classes havent some standart stuff..

[rich forum]

[craggy yacht]

german servers r gay. they set their server for german only.

[warm knot]

cringe

[uncut wolf]

Medics weren't fitted with good guns since their primary role is not combat. I think it's even against war code to have a weapon as a medic (conversely you aren't supposed to kill medics)

If you want to shoot people, you're playing the wrong class

[unkempt storm]

Kickstarter reward only at the moment

[left lion]

hey im very seasoned at multiplayer fps games but wanted to look into more realism games so im hopping on it now, anything i should do or anyone i should try to link up with to better the experience?

[crimson badger]

Use mic to talk in game, ask questions, and optionally join a clan in #pc-divisions-recruitment

Also look for a squad leader that is willing to talk to get the best experience even if the SL is new. If the SL can say where on the objective to defend or attack, how many enemies there are in the vicinity, which role is needed (e.g. anti tank role to destroy enemy armor blocking the objective) and so on then the more reason to participate in the battle. After being adjusted to a having a competent SL, without one I feel aimlessly fighting in a match just racking up kills instead of achieving something.

If the SL is not talking in the first 5 minutes you join a squad, join another squad if possible.

[stuck beacon]

opa tem algum br ai que ta ai no grupo

ser tive chama la no pv

[scarlet hill]

Any clans that enforce no mic rules?

[ripe vapor]

Do people ever join tank crews as randoms or so I need to find myself a couple people to help me try out and practice the role since their always locked?

[normal pike]

Yeah, tanking is one of those roles that is really dependant on a good team. if you can find some guys to practice with, you'll be good. gunner is probably the best spot to go for newbies - driving is pretty tough and requires a good set of ears and instincts

[ripe vapor]

Yeah sounded about right then with what i thought, ill go and play more of infantry roles i reckon then haha

Tank and cmd seem like fun roles, but without the practice i wouldnt wanna screw up a match cuz of it

[slow grove]

Can i place a satchel on my truck then drive it into enemies

[unkempt storm]

Yes, although might be difficult to time, and the chances of you making it to them without being shot out is slim lol.

[slow grove]

Nice

[normal pike]

nah you're right man, a good commander, and good driver, you'll be fine

[unkempt storm]

I recently and finally made the plunge into commander after about 500 hours, and I love it. It’s incredibly fun and once you get over the… anxiety of messing up, it’s really not that bad 🙂 and if you mess up, who cares in the long run. Good SLs and teammates are just as important as a well adept commander
