I'm just hating my life right now when I play. We have a house, but I got offered a great job in the city for the summer so we're here, back in my gfs old bedroom, with her xbox hooked up to a 27" monitor I have to play on while I sit on the bed like I'm a kid again in which there is no way to get comfortable. When I went home on the weekend and played on PC as soon as I aimed at someone I felt like Neo when he first got up after Smith thought he'd killed him. Oh, someone firing at me from halfway across loot lake? I'll just calmly snipe them with this crappy white AR in 3 clean shots. Back here? Wouldn't hit a cow in the arse with a snow shovel.

Mongoose posted:Patch Notes Up! Also, they fixed it so downing an enemy or killing an enemy counts towards your challenge counts! So, in theory, if you have a sniper elim and an explosive elim, you could down someone with one and finish them off with the other, and it will count towards both challenges.

I like the little birthday ditty that plays while the Battle Bus is in transit. They should make that a permanent addition, changing it with every season.

All the Pc players are filled into PC lobbies, all the console players are filled into console lobbies and nobody's filled into cross platform lobbies

Surprised they nerfed building even more. In chasing a more exciting spectator esport it seems like they're really going to reduce the skill gap. Shooting is a lot more viable now but since it's bloom and not recoil you can only get so good at that before you're on par with everyone else. Not really sure what they're going for here tbh. edit: Ignore how annoying this guy is but this isn't very good https://clips.twitch.tv/CovertAgitatedCurryHeyGuys

I cant wait to have an easier time of knocking out the two ramps holding up the monolith of 2 build lords fighting. Mr Hootington fucked around with this message at 18:33 on Jul 24, 2018 |

I've finally come to the realization that having my build buttons bound to my mouse is limiting, gonna move wall and ramp to Q and E, perhaps the others to Z, X and C as well. It's too hard trying to shoot people and throw up walls with everything bound to the mouse.

It's too hard trying to shoot people and throw up walls with everything bound to the mouse. I use Q, E, etc and it works pretty well. Definitely took a couple days of terrible matches to get used to those keybinds, but I think it’s better than mouse binds.

"Added "Sprint By Default" option, when enabled this makes sprint the default movement. The sprint key will now be used to transition into walking." Oh thank loving god. I'm too goddamn old to be holding shift non-stop, so I switched to toggle sprint, which means I constantly had to re-enable it after doing almost anything.

He was also using the new P90 which does a lot of damage Honestly I don't really see the problem with nerfing freshly placed buildings like in that video, as long as a completed one can still resist a bit.

Fitzy Fitz posted:He was also using the new P90 which does a lot of damage Wood wall max health was also reduced from 200 to 150. Metal wall max health is up from 400 to 500 though. But its build time was nerfed from 20s to 25s. It's a tricky thing to balance I guess. Ramp rushing is cool and fun, spam building in a 1v1 is lame and boring.

If I'm reading the patch notes right, it sounds like you can destroy any (player-built) wooden wall with two pickaxe wacks, whether you get a crit or not. I'm not sure how long it used to take, but I would guess like 4-5 hits. Taking down towers by pickaxe should be more viable.

Man I wish I knew the new SMG did that, I lost to a builder because I didn't think it would touch his tower.

The old SMGs were solid against buildings too... a few patches ago I think they removed damage dropoff against structures from like all the guns

One of my favorite upgrades had me going from a Athlon 64 3200+ to a Core 2 Duo I bought on here second hand. I think it was just cpu, motherboard, ram, Geforce and a monitor. That 940mx is a little anemic though.

Best update right here... If the same player knocks out and eliminates an enemy with two different weapons, they will get elimination quest progress for both weapons.

I'm still deeply ambivalent about them tweaking HP numbers (though the stone HP change is actually a big, big deal; it was always dumb that wood was the correct material to build with 89% of the time) instead of just biting the bullet and introducing some kind of cooldown system to building. Not like a full blown time gap between walls, but at least something like a time-out from re-building a wall that's just been destroyed. Regardless, you shouldn't have to exhaust someone's entire supply of wood just to land a single shot on them, so I guess we'll see how this plays out.

Sad thing about the change is it nerfs mostly offensive building i.e. when you are trying to ramp up into an enemy 1x1 - if the opponent already has the tower up the change is insignificant or even a buff if they used metal to build it.

Did they seriously make gyro inverted if you use inverted Y-axis stick controls and there's no option to go back to how it was before? What the gently caress.

Yeah, loving the story so far. Haven't paid that much attention in Stonewood/Plankerton, but it seems way better now, more fleshed out as well. Definitely helps to finally have a new biome after thousands of maps, though.

My only request is if the desert stays they add a cactus disguise like the bush. It’s stupid, but so much fun to tool around with.

Had the weirdest freaking start to a match. Landed in Tomato Town on the chest where the big head used to be along with one other person. Snatched a sniper out it and we both immediately ran off. He ran into the restaurant and I made a quick loop of the other locations. No other weapons. I beelined to the house outside of Tomato Town, nothing other than some grenades. The other guy found me there and I blew up the house with the nades but didn't get him. Ran to the tunnel, which was cleared out. Saw the other guy at the end, and got a lucky sniper hit after like 7 shots. Turns out he didn't find anything either in that entire area.

This is basically the description of any tomato town drop. That area only has two or three possible chests, one of which is in the houses outside of tomato town proper. The rest of the gun spawns are poo poo too. You’re much better off going next door into wailing woods or loot lodge. Both have less people and a lot more resources.

There's also the secret room in the tunnel. Turns out that can have two chests right next to each other in it (in 50v50 with the increased chest chance anyway  ).

In duos we usually drop lazy links, kill everyone and loot then kart to the eastern bridge, dangling truck and moai head. After that we push into the tomato tunnel and those chests are almost always sitting intact behind that wall.

Playing duos or squads with a friend who knows the game and following their lead is probably the best way to learn the game (or I guess watching streamers if you're into that). For being, like, the biggest online game in the world right now, it's surprising that there's like zero tutorial or onboarding lol.
