I've been missing this game and the old wrecking crew so I'm gonna see how much has changed in the year or so since I last played.

From the first post, sounds like cheaters are finally dealt with. That poo poo was really bad around when Blackbeard came out.

Here's hoping I have enough renown for the new operators without having to contribute to PlanB's poutine fund.

The change so that Plane's windows are no longer blown out by Glaz bullets is completely undocumented. :stare:

Wasn't that a patch or mid season ago? I know it was talked about and could swear it was in the notes.

It made Blackbeard/Glaz an insane combo on the front of the plane since you could blow a window out looking into meeting and plonk Blackbeard down on it while you dealt with the front.

Hoo boy this is just as fun as I remembered - except there's now some kind of weird fuckery with the 'hold' option for ADS. I switched to toggle and it was fine, but while I was holding down the right mouse and strafing, I did this very noisy shuffling thing.

Oh well.

Other than that, holy crap how fun. I'm gonna jump on Discord tonight for more with whoever is on.

Once you've been peeked from outside a couple times it starts to become unbelievably predictable. Just bring Glaz.

3 speed operators can just run outside and line up a headshot before they ever get detected.

Just played with some dumb kids. One of them who was maybe 10 (and that's being generous) went on cams and was complaining about how someone was probably shooting his camera... It was a Twitch drone shocking him while he was busy. The kids on the opposing team (custom game) proceeded to talk poo poo and tell me how they would kick my rear end. Then I went and dominated two 10 round matches and they couldn't even admit I put them in their place. Why do kids get to play this game?

The worst bug in this game is the exterior drone hole in the kitchen on Coastline. If you try to turn the drone before getting to the right angle turn it will rubberband the drone back outside and it pisses me off.

I think the bigger question is: why are you playing custom games with a bunch of kids?

I just found a random group because I wanted to try Michael Myers. Of course the only ones who play that are kids.

Got the game on sale. Sucked immensely at it. Hooked up with goons (No.Free.Will is the man for putting up with my poo poo).

Got MVP on my second day with a 3-kill clutch in the MC club map. Feels good.

What operators do you goons main the most?

I typically use Thermite/Hibana/Sledge/Thatcher for attack depending on squad needs.

And Mute/Frost/Pulse on defense.

And am I the only one who can't aim for poo poo with the pistol? That's why I never can use Blitz or Montagne.

In the absence of need to pick a specific operator on either side, I play Fuze and Mute. That almost never happens, so I play whatever feels like the missing link.

I have three regrets
The first is to be born in Joseon.
I'm the designated Hibana/Thermite (mostly Thermite now since Hibana's charges dud for me more often than not these days) in my group. Then Bandit, Mira or Frost on defense where applicable.

Attack: Thatcher, Thermite, Capitao, Buck
Defense: Pulse, Smoke, Jaeger, Rook

All the operators I have more than 10 hours in each, ordered by total playtime. I don't play Pulse nearly as much since the dumb as hell buffnerfbuff, but I still pull him out the odd time.

Admiral Joeslop

I tend to favor: Hibana, Twitch, Fuze, Glaz lately, and Rook, Pulse, Mute, Mira.

I dabble in the others but these are usually my go to. They all have good guns, a really useful ability, or both.

When I started, it was Twitch and Bandit almost exclusively.

I use every operator other than Tachanka at least some of the time but according to r6stats.com my most used are:

Attackers:

Buck
Fuze
Sledge
Ash



Defenders:

Pulse
Bandit
Smoke
Rook

How active is this game these days? Base game is down to $12.30 right now, considering buying it.

Edit: Followup - how much DLC is actually needed? Or is it all optional?
