Streamers ignore them all the time (because they can farm players) so every little kid wrongly thinks they should ignore them too

I CANNOT HANDLE BEING CALLED OUT ON MY DUMBASS OPINIONS ABOUT ANTI-VIRUS AND SECURITY. I REALLY LIKE TO THINK THAT I KNOW THINGS HERE

INSTEAD I AM GOING TO WHINE ABOUT IT IN OTHER THREADS SO MY OPINION CAN FEEL VALIDATED IN AN ECHO CHAMBER I LIKE

I loving love this, generally if the box is in the open it's 50/50 if someone grabs it, but there are boxes under the first floor stairs of 2 story houses and no one ever grabs those.

Also any ammo boxes on the top of shelves get completely ignored by most players.

I wonder how much better of a gamer am I because I never watch streamers. I always grab this ammo.

I logged into the game on my PC last night and I discovered its not recording stats. 0 play time, 0 kills, etc. It says stats last updated never. That explains why stats sites say my username is not found I guess

Uh, is there a fix for this?

Lots of reports about this elsewhere. Same with switching back to the default skins if you have any non-default skins at all. It's unclear if this is a bug or not, but it'd shock me if it wasn't.





Is the Discord in the OP still the best place to look for goons to team up with?

If you're playing on Switch or mobile, stats still aren't being tracked for either platform.

By the way, I love how the storm circles work at the endgame. I just got my first solo win of the season by killing one dude who was running in an open field while the tower camper got lost in the storm.

I agree. The end game should be less "this person got there early and poo poo out a fortress" and more "you assholes need to think on the fly."

Fix what TP problem? The lag is not as bad, but still horrible (at least hover turrets don't make it laggy anymore).

The Outlander (and to a lesser extent Ninja) abilities damage output didn't scale well against enemies found in TP, even with a high Tech stat.

That said, I tried the new Phase-Shift on TEDD-Shot Jess this morning and it is a game changer. The faster cooldown, longer distance, upping the reserves to 3, and the speed boost after use made it feel like I was using an entirely different class. The synergy of being able to fly over a point, plonk down a turret, and zip back behind cover feels great.

Ah that, yeah we'll have to see what the ability buffs do for balance. And even if it isn't, it's good to hear Outlanders play a lot better at least.

Edit: The 76 Horde Bash seems to scale somewhat endlessly. I've personally done challenge 18 (power level 115 iirc), but a streamer is at 21 already, which has power level 127 husks. This is awesome.

So much fun with the karts and the rifts. I love dropping at the moai statue just northwest of dusty, looting it and the nearby houses then taking the rift there and popping over to the lazy links to kill someone and claim an ATK. Got my season 5 victory umbrella!

I tried the gyro for a bit, but it seems really shakey and laggy compared to splatoon's version. In mid-range I found the sticks a lot easier to use because sticks get crazy lock-on effect of auto-aim, but gyro doesn't. I might try enabling gyro for snipers only, since there's no auto aim there and sniping flicks would be really useful.

Horde mode is exactly what I was craving. Fast paced battles with pre made forts. Scratches the itch when I want to shoot zombies but not spend 10-20 prepping a fort.

everyone i was playing with just got immediately disconnevted a couple minutes ago, maybe that happened to everyone ingame and that's why there's a queue? there was no wait when we first logged in like an hour ago

According to this post on reddit, it looks like the "nothing" slot can be selected after you pick the "random" slot.

Thanks, I'll be joining there ... eventually. It's been fifteen years since I played a multiplayer FPS. Getting used to a never-ending stream of randos is really proving to be difficult for me.
