I decided to try this out today and it seems like that was a bad idea. Why has something as small as the cursor not being visible in full screen been addressed? The game wants you to create an account but the Bethesda site doesn't even work. I can see why there's so many negative reviews if they can't even fix minor problems.

I'm in full screen and I see my cursor lol

Anyone speak Russian? This guy was eerily prescient, like he was walling. A few times he would go for a rail literally right as I entered his LoS going for rockets when he was near the LG, or just find me immediately when I was hiding quietly without any weapon out that makes a noise.

My russian is terrible but I think he’s just cussing at you. Honestly his rail being 30% doesn’t feel off. That’s like normal accuracy isn’t it? I think he’s probably just a rail guy and ran to it because he can’t use the other weapons as proficiently.

He's absolutely on my list of characters to play a ton in the future. But I only recently started and I have a lot of rust to scrape off, so for the moment I'm sticking to Ranger due to the versatility of his active. Besides mobility, surprising people with the instant kill of a telefrag never stops being satisfying. No amount of defense can stop it.


I need a button specifically to mute my guy, though. Yes you're deranged and are thirsty for a slipgate. Shut the gently caress up, god. :byodood:

Correct!

I dunno I hated to the constant smart rear end remarks of the characters but i don't mind so much now. For every instance it blocks something you wanted to hear it's a good audio que on what's going on at other times. Plus is fun if you're stoned.

i had a win against a guy who couldn't aim for poo poo, didn't know how to strafejump or time items yet knew where i was every second of the match. i even popped visor's ability and watched his BJ tracking me through the wall. i thought "wow this guy has extremely suspicious gamesense for a beginner"...

...then i remembered how loving loud visor's movement is.

not that there aren't plenty of people using hacks ofc, it's just i haven't personally run into any obvious cheaters yet.

It is! He was part of the free rotation until a few days ago. That only underlined how nice it is. It also showcased how useful it is to not constantly tell your opponents how much hp you have left, roughly.

In Q3 and Live you can practically have a wallhack if you focus on the simple stereo sound system to triangulate positions. Still didn't stop people from believing you were hacking.

Most people have lovely sound. AKA onboard audio with some crappy gamer brand headphones and then have the music on.

Then there is external DAC + good heaphones with music off.

I know this might sound odd but I only really played 1v1/tdm/dm ;P

EDIT.. I did play some Team Fortress in Quake 1, but I didn't inhale.

Double EDIT: The SO is out Sunday helping her friends do things so I will be down for games on Discord with coms most of that day.

they already hosed up tdm/ffa by adding blood run, corrupted keep, awoken, molten falls, and vale of peanut to the map pool. if you can't time items or hold shift for three seconds once in a while, try playing them there. you won't have to worry about map strategy or prediction at all!

Don't agree on Molten Falls.

Outside of that, everyone votes for those for that exact reason now. It's also why everyone bitches about Death Knight now. His passives are poo poo, and on normal TDM maps or 1v1 his active isn't that lethal. But put 8 people in a 1v1 or 2v2 map and you spam the ever loving poo poo out of it and always hit something.

Also what time zones and regions is everyone in? We've got enough in this thread and several of us own the game that we could kick off some custom games at 4v4 or run a mini duel among us.

The tier list now is as such

1. God Tier auto ban voted : Clutch
2. Tier Raw damage 1: BJ
3. Tier 3 Support cheat ability: Visor Galena
4. Tier 4: Utility: ranger

Everything else is a long distant shot. Though dahang has managed to put Strogg up there.
