Commie NedFlanders posted:Like seriously I can't stress this enough have a scout loadout with spot flares ready to go and if your team is losing and gets the Big Guns you should immediately switch to scout and light up all objectives and heavy vehicles like duuuuh Yeah spot flares are as essential as ammo pouch is for support. But the periscope? I haven't found it much more useful than just ADS+R1. I play run and gun, mainly assault and support, but I play the same as scout, and I'm constantly spotting with the gunsights. I only really play conquest and a bit of TDM though, so not sure if periscope is better for operations. I'd choose it over trip mines or k bullets if it let you spam spot, or auto spot enemies like the target detector from BF4 though.

Did  fix the bug where you'd be revived and your gun doesn't work until you swap it?Regarding snipers, it seems like the game requires you to switch classes as the round plays out. At least more than any other previous Battlefield. Kind of puts a damper on the medals but seriously gently caress those. I don't even bother.

So I still can't play since the patch (Xbone). No matter what gametype I try, as soon as the loading screen is finished, right as I'm entering the game, I crash to the dashboard. This sucks and I don't know what to do.

I joined a game a day before the patch and everyone in the server was Rank 0. Still loving my poo poo up with the Martini Henry though. Also the other day the blimp went down on Monte Grasse right over the tunnel (c?) and it made a huge death zone. If you went on top of the tunnel you were 'd.You couldn't get more than a couple of feet into the tunnel before the hand of god touched you and you died. We sat there laughing as wave after wave of dudes ran in and dropped dead. Safe to say we won that round.

The only improvement I've noticed after the patch is that instead of freezing on a blank screen every time I quit a match it freezes on the background image of the results screen instead.

Ya' know, the squad mutiny feature is a welcome addition since pubbies are often such poo poo at playing the objective, but now when I'm leading I keep getting requests for orders when I'm already on top of assigning objectives (and am changing it to the best points as needed/appropriate). Like, a loving lot. I assume it's an effort to take over as leader the moment I forget to do it for long enough, and that just seems unnecessary when the leader you have's already taking care of it. One round, I actually just went ahead and handed it over because I didn't figure it'd make much difference, but then the guy just kept setting the objective to wherever they were. Sorta makes me wish for a "follow the orders you already have" response or something.

I'm pretty sure this is a dumb question, especially since there're other ways to find out, but here goes. This is my first Battlefield game; do the medics' ability to raise you end when your timer stops, or is there still a chance you can get picked up once it runs out? I've been playing and had times it seemed like I was revived after the timer stopped, as well as times where I had a medic right on top of my body and doing nothing at all once it's out. It's hard to tell if the two factors are correlated or if that's on the unpredictably varying quality of the medics.

the problem with medic-ing is that there are enough bugs to make medics think people are ungrateful and make people think medics don't revive -sometimes you straight up can't revive a dude, and you have no less than 3 medics frantically planting boxes of syringes into a lifeless corpse -distance meter is bugged -sometimes you can get multirevived, and they keep tweaking little things silently like timing and UI so e.g. someone could have played the beta and then bought the game without reading any patch notes and get super confused On the other hand, you can guitar slide and revive someone and it even skips the animation so  FastestGunAlive posted:So anyone able to give me feedback on arty truck w this patch? Is the damage adjustment noticeable? I prefer to use it from afar rather than up close due to the light armor it is a hilarious buff to an already hilariously powerful vehicle that requires and encourages no teamplay to be fair I play arty truck up close but you can still snipe tanks/wookies/field guns no problem. I think the slight nerf to long range damage is good, it was already pretty ridiculous and now that there's less drop off its even easier to land the right hit also I'm pretty sure they did something to increase the chance of glancing hits because I was hitting an arty truck point blank square in the windshield with a heavy tank for 7 damage

humpthewind posted:It's the latter. You can definitely be revived after the respawn timer enters. Thanks. That explains a few things, actually. Also makes me realize what a pain in the rear end I've accidentally been a few times by assuming I couldn't be revived anymore and respawning with a medic, like, a foot away and holding his syringe. e: mellowjournalism posted:the problem with medic-ing is that there are enough bugs to make medics think people are ungrateful and make people think medics don't revive Thanks for this info, too. At least I know it's not just my lack of understanding. Kinda sucks that there's so many factors at play, but at the same time it's also kinda funny, so I'll deal with it.

I don't know, I never thought to hold the option button. Hitting the option button brings up the menu, and I can select scoreboard from there, but that's like, 4 inputs. Next time I will try holding the option button. Man I wish the game wouldn't hang every time I try to quit.

Sounds good and should work out with my schedule, too--right now happens to be one of those times I shouldn't be playing, so I won't be on too much longer. I've not read the full patch notes, so I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty bummed out by what definitely seems like a lowering of the airship's durability. I've seen it suggested that it's actually a rise in damage done by the airship hunter attack plane, though, which is more acceptable, I think. Still seems a little excessive to me, but whatever. Did they up the reload speed in the airship? It seems quicker now.

Game just crashes whenever I join a server on xbone  Probably because of the weird situation where I am using a buddy's main console, he owns digital, I have EA Access trial, and it's conflicting somehow? Sometimes the 10 hour warning pops up when I start the game, other times it does not.Poop.

Joining a pubby squad and immediately replacing the squad leader is the best. I've sent out a few invites already but if you're on PS4, PM your email address to join the Slack group. Come up with ideas for a server name.
