Just started watching a streamer who literally took a ten minute diarrhea dump break in the middle of a match while parked outside the Spider’s lair and it turns out his server was completely empty of other players. How is that possible?

It happens from time to time. Maybe one in twenty matches last time I was playing several matches daily. I would assume it's not intended and is some consequence of the flexible start matching.

it's the reason they're changing how the matchmaking works with 3.0.
from what I understand players got sorted into games based on a rolling queue timer, with no logical splitting by the system.
So far argument's sake its 10 players per match. 61 people are queued simultaneously. when the timer runs out it starts 6 10-person matches and 1 1-person match.
with the updated matchmaking it'll split up the numbers so there'll be a few not-quite-full matches and far fewer empty matches.

Oh my god guys, the Winny Aperture is actually REALLY good now. I just gunned down 3 hunters in a row from an opposite riverbank while they fought over the bounty. My partner shotgunned down the other 2 and like that we'd wiped the map.

I'm really curious about this game. I hate Battle Royale games but I really want a good pvp/e thing to get my friends into since we don't have any games to play together right now and haven't since Destiny 2. What state is it in right now and is it likely to be finished?

Does Solo mode have fewer 'teams' than normal mode?

Solo mode has no teams just solo players. Surprisingly I find it more frustrating than queuing up solo against duos because of the rampant camping snipers.

Yeah solo mode is just a camp game. even if you spawn on the boss and take it out and banish before anyone gets there, its 100% impossible to get to extract without meeting 5 snipers on the way.
The only way to win is figure out where the boss is, figure out the most likely extract route, and set up your own bullshit ambush.

IMO it's less boring than the other BR games because the PvE elements help to sort of enforce PvP situations. (Unlike e.g. PUBG where there's nothing to do in between the school shootout and the end-game.)

The battles are also more interesting because of all the items and the map design. And they're less about FPS skill and more about tactics. My buddy and I almost never straight-up engage try-hard FPS players anymore, because we couldn't win the typical mid-range shootouts (they're better at clicking heads and have better guns). This way, we actually manage to kill about 1-4 players every match even though we suck at shooting.

I wouldn't play it for the PvE though, the PvE is just there to help the PvP.

Yesterday I got no fewer than 6 Romero kills in 2 matches (2 of which were from shooting a red barrel next to a guy) and loving shadowplay decided not to run :colbert:

I just started playing this and it's quite good. Are there more than 2 targets though? Are they gonna add more? I'm level 5 so it's possible I'm getting gated.

Edit:

Just played a match where I killed the spider with a maul, banished, and then ran to extract with maul the maul charged. run right into a hunter waiting to ambush me in some bushes and I just bash his face in. One hit and he is past dead.

It happened so fast I hadn't even stopped running. Got a stick of tnt out of it too.

It's great, crossbow is my main, all the other guns I can afford don't do enough damage. Plus you get the stealth for free.

So the last week or so I accidentally figured out that the Veterli Deadeye + Sabre is like the best combination for me of all time. Anything medium-long range I snipe with a lower-zoom scope so I still have peripheral vision, close range i zig zag and charge them with a loving sword.

This combination works remarkably well on the new map (which owns so much)

Not for nothing, but the framerate seems a lot smoother too. Though far from perfect, I haven't had any fights where it felt like I lost because the game clunked up.

Instead I've lost them because I am terrible. :v:

I chalked that up to the time of day having much less complicated lighting effects rather than them being capable of optimizing anything.
