You also can't see recent supply drops. Or who's in a party. Also you need to restart just about every hour whenever the party breaks.

Well, that kinda makes sense, in case you don't log in for a week and missed your equivalent of probation entirely. And if it's a full reset to cut down on the people contacting tech support "where's all my stuff?" shenanigans. There will still be a few I'm sure.

I know you guys will just shrug and go "well I did abuse a glitch guess I'll just take my reset and start over" if you even want to keep playing, but I am looking forward to the children and redditors who will scream bloody murder that they got punished.

Has Grounded been removed from the map cycles or something? It hasn't even come up as an option in over a month. Playing on Xbox.

Also I love this game.

Yeah, it was removed from rotation on all platforms (I think. PS4 as well, at least) because there was an exploit where you could get outside the map and still hit people without fear of retaliation.

Yeah I want a combat record and post-game medal/xp breakdown. I could give two shits about leaderboards.

Patch supposedly dropping this week, no word on contents, it might be the big pre-dlc client patch, or it might be smaller fixes, dunno yet.

edit: annnnd patch dropped, 1.5gigs, download now

e: e: Energy beam cerberus and some variant of the Mammoth with a vertical burst fire, do want. Some 'blast' variant of the EMC, a shot package version of the rack9 and a firefly version of one of the snipers, plus a bunch of other variants.

Bunch of random fixes, no leaderboards/cr/etc. Private matches are invite only (lololol scrims), a bunch of misc bug fixes. I'd assume they re-added Grounded, but who knows.

They also added 'mk2' variants of every weapon in the game to the quartermaster. They give 15% bonus xp and have static animated camos. loldupes.

But most importantly WEED CAMO FOR YOUR GUNS (good luck looting it).

I'm not certain, but I *think* the way those work is if you already have a gun and you get a dupe, you get the mk2 version automatically instead of salvage.

Which is cool if true. Can't test it though, not enough keys saved. The only mk2 I got WAS for a gun I already had though, not a new one...

Haha, that's loving hilarious.

They also added like 2384929348234 camos/cosmetic items to the pool so yeah, dilution.

Hmm... I wonder if the chance of a weapon is separate from the rest of the cosmetics though. iirc epic cosmetics give less salvage than epic weapons, so presumably the % chances have been carefully mathed out to make sure we're getting our allotted salvage per crate on average.

Unverified, but the EBR Bomber got stealth nerfed? I'm hearing there's more recoil, a reduced mag size and maybe increased idle sway.

Happy Noodle Boy

The idle sway is a non-issue if the unlimited hearth gold has been left alone. And if the damage hasn't been tuned either then you still just need 1 burst. Any recoil you can get he hang of.

Speaking as someone with 1.5 snipers remaining for diamond, gently caress You. The NV4 is a better sniper than the snipers.

That Rare RAW looks like a really good utility pickup. Penetration on an energy weapon + bonus streak damage makes it a perfect candidate for your anti-air class. Granted you only need anti-air if your team is getting dunked on, but being able to blow up a warden or auav faster is nice.

It shouldn't lower your chances of getting a certain rarity if it works off a % chance of giving you each rarity. If there's no consideration for the kind of item it gives you then the chances of epic weapon could be lowered if they increase the other types of item.

It does make it a lot harder to get a specific weapon.
