Ranked servers are a feature that never materialised, unfortunately. God knows why they left the button in. Speaking of unreleased features, people just found out that there have been "competitive" versions of several maps (smaller, meant for 4v4 S&D) in the game files for quite a while. There are also "destroyed" versions which are mostly just cosmetic changes for the co-op zombie mode. Whatever that means is unknown since Zombie could teach Trappist monks the virtue of silence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_UkwqcRLvQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yImXjMF3e7M Competitive Heavy Metal Map Preview: http://youtu.be/kq7yOSe0TB8 Destroyed Piledriver Map Preview: http://youtu.be/baIpRg2TGpM And there's supposed to be a Competitive Nuken (Siege map) too.

Helmets are out, all five of them. Good: - They look really cool. Maybe a bit more sci-fi than the others, but it might just be habit that makes the old one look normal. - The veteran camo looks really sweet on them - The furry helmet actually looks more like Optimus Prime than anything Bad: - By the descriptions they're supposed to have different stats, but they're bugged and all have the same stats as the T4UX (medium health, max armour, low HRV recharge). I'm in the 1% who likes playing with low HRV but everybody else will stay away from them until this is fixed. EDIT: hahahahah are you making GBS threads me VERY BAD: quote:These helmets will be on sale the week of the new patch launch, and only that week! They will not, repeat WILL NOT be on sale again for the foreseable future. Not in Flash Sales, not in Holiday Sales (sorry Valentines day, but you can suck it) and they wont be in any free giveaways. So after MONTHS of no content they now want to cashgrab as much as possible for these helmets in ONE WEEK, while also releasing them with bugged stats. Great job PWE

Why would they make them GP-permable? There has to be SOME way for them to get money out of the game. And if the stats weren't dead-stock-standard the statcrafters would bitch to high heaven about how OOOOOOH my GOOOOOOOD there's ONLY ONE GOOD BUIIIIIIILD NOOOOOOOOOWWWW Not that 600 Zen for a loving hat is a good thing, but at least I can understand how it got this way. Besides, it took, what, four months for those reskins to come on sale for GP? Black Bonebreaker, Yin-Yang, those ones.

I don't have a problem with the helmets not being GP-permable, because they're mostly cosmetic and dearth of content has led to a severe GP inflation anyway. These days I'm not buying anything except magnum ammo and protection gear, which barely makes a dent in your GP income. I do have a problem with them being one-week-only. When you haven't put any items out for months, you don't make the first new items into SUPER RARE EXCLUSIVE ONE TIME ONLY CONTENT BUY IT NAO!!!11!! Not that it matters since the community manager has already gone back on her word anyway  (quote: "They will get featured again, and if the stats change significantly they may well get a "relaunch" week" Why did you even claim that "They will not, repeat WILL NOT be on sale again" if you're going to contradict yourself a few hours later  )Also that's the Carcharodon helmet and it looks sweet as balls, fear my peacock of death

I don't mind new stuff being zen-only, but these helmets were designed by the community. It's quite the dick move to wait for over a year to introduce them (most of the designers have probably quit by now), offer them in very limited windows and demand zen for them. e: They'll get proper stats "soon" according to the Zombie studio lead.

My hope is that the new release on PS4 means that Zombie is still committed to Blacklight, and that the lack of content or communication for the past while has been a result of the push to get that out the door. I mean, getting in on the ground floor of a major console is hopefully a sign that they haven't put it on the back burner entirely. With new exposure from the console crowd, maybe we'd see more frequent content updates? I'd be pleased as punch if Blacklight didn't end up dead in the water. But I like to stay optimistic. This one week community helmet thing does have a lack of forethought written all over it though. And what's with the timing? Releasing it during the same week as your existing helmet flash sale seems counterproductive. Most people who might have been interested in picking up something from the flash sale are probably too distracted by the long awaited community helmets to pay the other sale much attention.

For those new to the game I would just like to point out that I have close to if not over 700 hours playing this game and I would still highly recommend it if you are new to the game. That said, I've been playing this stupid F2P shooter for seven hundred hours  and this poo poo just drives me crazy. gently caress you Zombie or PWE, whoever is responsible for the stagnation of this wonderful title.

Really, they need to push out new maps (NOT like Slumlord, though, I played that map for the first time today and I think the people in charge of that decision should be banned from involvement in video games), but what else is there really to put out? There's really no more receivers they can put in (unless they want to put in a double-barreled shotgun sidearm or something else that fits a niche role, like the Breech Loaded Pistol), and are there really any parts they could add that would do anything meaningful other than possibly be a reskin or a one/two number difference from any other part? In all honesty, what else is their left to add other than new maps and maybe new armor?

I want them to work on refining the game, balancing things for good reasons (instead of nerfing things because the MLG-wannabe-pro-420-spergs in the community complained), fixing bugs, getting ranked working, and more or less just following through with all the promises they made in the past instead of these weak rear end attempts to placate their players and milk out of them every few weeks. This community helmets fiasco is just the icing on the poo poo cake that has been the handling of this game post Steam launch.

I'm going to defend the AR ban - it was the gun that everybody used and it made tournaments boring as hell to both play and watch. There's no premium server setting for "-5 damage to this particular gun", unfortunately. And even if you balanced it through some other penalty (no gear or whatever), lots of people would still pick it because they have clocked in so many more hours with it than with any other weapon. I still think, and have unsuccessfully tried to argue, that not allowing parts customisation is loving stupid, though. Merica posted:I would do DOM. Everything is allowed. Everything in the game has a use in the right situation. If you buy a swarm and kill a whole team who are trying to cap your point that to me sounds like good strategy. Swarm + Heavy Weapons Refill and there's no reason to ever use anything else after 3-4 minutes into the game. Especially since spawn trapping is a thing in this game.

I just hate panic swarming a single person. I mean, I guess it's them wasting a rocket, but CP is so easy to get anyway it doesn't really matter. But yeah, DOM would be what I ran, most likely. Or i would run separate divisions for every game mode.

I will do the swarm + refill or airstrike + refill thing sometimes in pubs for fun but I would be way more effective just running in and blasting people. Most often it's a waste of my time. It is fun though. Either way, I think we all can agree that “progotbanned” is a raging douche.

I hate how people think that them devoting a larger amount of time and energy into something makes them better than everyone else. I'm mostly writing this because last night I saw some dude from a clan stack get really, REALLY arrogant at a pubbie because he was talking about the clans practice session in lobby chat and the pubbie questioned him about it. Edit: Let's talk about what guns and armor setups we're using instead of how this game is slowly being choked to death by cash grabbing publishers!  I really want to like the BPFA. It lets me run quickly and it's so fun to use, but I can hardly ever kill people with it.  This is my go-to for just about everything. It doesn't particularly do anything well, but it certainly doesn't do anything horribly wrong either. Basically it's an AR and that should tell you everything.  I need to find a proper place to try this thing out. I really want to try it out on Containment, because i feel like I would be giggling to myself the entire time. Also, if I replace the stock with the other one I have, I can get EXACTLY 0 aim spread.  And then, there is my trusty, trusty SMG. I like Metro. A lot. So I sought out to make a weapon that would absolutely chainsaw through enemies in the confined spaces of Metro. And that's how I got this little weirdo. I might switch out the extended mags for express mags for extra fast, though.  My HAR is...interesting. I just don't have many parts to make it what I actually want, which is a low-spread and recoil murder machine. As for my armor set-up:  I am completely in love with this set. Max equipment slots, over 180 HP, pretty speedy where it counts, and decent HRV recharge. I have the best of all worlds in this set-up, I feel.

But those posts always make others realize how worthless I am at this game, as I select my builds according to how they look and sound, not how they perform during the actual missions. This is my favorite assault rifle, its a FA Bullpup so it's bad by default. But I like how it sounds and feels and the IR scope just rounds the whole package nicely.  This is my favorite sidearm, the pump action shotgun is not bad in itself but I've selected it not cause it's a good sidearm but because I love pump action shotguns and I love slapping optics on them.  And this is how I currently look while running around, I love heavy-style armor and I love beating people up, so I have a variety of items that help me do that, like the shiels, the hammer and the tomahawk. I would propably do better with a speedy loadout, but I just like the heavy feel better even if its not the best choice in terms of gameplay effectivness. I am also the kind of rear end in a top hat that likes to randomly place mines everywhere. But it's OK, cause the average player is even worse than me.  ...or at least does not play aggresivly enough to get enough kills in time.

Try putting a +dmg tag on it, as 54 is the magic number to kill the ever present breakguard + foxcat combo in four bullets. That one bullet less is a big deal for the bpfa. The TechBAR or BAR-02 grip should also help getting spread and recoil even lower. My AR  M4X  BPFA  BAR  And current armor build  I'll switch to Breakguards & foxcat and use a +3 health tag if one of the regular pubstompers joins the room. e: \/\/\/ - yep!
