Honestly the thing that annoys me the most isn’t even charger and titan hordes, it’s getting stunlocked by hunters and spitters Is it an intentional balance thing that some weapons don’t have hit markers?

Astrochicken posted:I been seeing a lot of this and I think the community needs to accept that this is what the game master angle means. Stealth changes to enemy ai, armor value, spawn rates, whatever. Cool to behold until it is frustrating to not be able to do what you could before and not really know why. Idk how to feel about it yet but i am definitely hooked (will for sure lead to brand new exciting frontiers in gamer toxicity!) I mean this specifically is not "Bots are harder now and there are more patrols", it's patrols literally appearing from thin air right in front of you.

that's always happened, especially when the timer's gone red and patrols are spawning rapidly. it's not ideal, but with procgenned maps its hard to do as good a job as like l4d on mob spawning.

I can't believe it'd be hard at all to just have a check within 50 meters of a player to disable spawning of scouts in that area to prevent this from happening, scouts outright popping from nowhere is bullshit and surely couldn't be hard to prevent if the devs actually care once they get other things fixed like the still wonky server backend.

The issue is they also nerfed the experience by 40% at the same time they made it a real mission. At the old rate it would feel more rewarding to win but the map should always have been that hard.

Loving the game so far. Just had a sour experience, I've been joining those squads you see on the galactic map just so I can play with others instead of by myself. Didn't realise people can troll you by constantly killing you with their droppods before kicking you from their game. I wasted 10 mins and got nothing to show for it. I'm now a tad bit more apprehensive about joining public games as there doesn't seem to be any protection against this sort of behaviour? Why host a game publicly if you're just gonna boot people from it.

Ok my extraction shuttle actually killed me this time and I couldn't retrieve my rare samples because of the 1.5 billion things that spawned in around them. Idk what I did to piss the fleet off but they clearly have it out for me. And yeah, it's annoying af watching entire patrols just materialize in front of or on top of you. This game already has enough to gently caress you over by design, it doesn't need janky bullshit like that!

it is loving unbelievable how hard it is to get randoms to press the double buttons for bunkers with you. I was trying to get (nearby!) players to come over to one just now. typed in chat "buttons here", no response. then "bunker here", still nothing. pinged the spot multiple times, no reaction. reinforce someone right next to it to ensure they see it, completely ignored. turn on my mic to say "hey, buttons here, could someone come over", nada. these guys just hate multiple chances at supercred drops I guess. situational awareness -100

The worst experience I have had in this game was with a weird pubby. We had one of those magical moments when everyone is in sync and things are just clicking. But then the host decided to kick one of the players to invite his friend. The friend would whine about how unfair it was when he died in the most nasally voice I've ever heard. And he died a lot. The magic was lost and we lost that mission, and the party split. Overall I havent had too many issues with pubbies.

The issue is they also nerfed the experience by 40% at the same time they made it a real mission. fwiw one of the current orders says that automaton planets have "increased resistance," or something along those lines. if that's an actual modifier effecting the difficulty of automaton missions, which it seems to be, then it wouldn't surprise me if the disparity in the defense mission difficulty to xp reward winds up being more in line with how it was beforehand without that modifier.

One thing they should probably do is cut down on super credits appearing in trivial missions and increase super credits appearing in the hardest difficulties instead of req's and rare materials. I imagine lots of people launching/quitting out of solo trivial missions to farm SC is both gonna strain the server and mess with their revenue stream.

I’ve also noticed dropships not exploding when I down one. More often than not today it’ll just despawn and the bots drop anyway, which means I still have a drop to deal with and now I’m also down the EAT on my back.

Lovely Joe Stalin posted:My experience of the suit was that it temporarily flips the tables and you become the walking death that ploughs through the horde. It felt fun, powerful, and cool. I like it a lot, still deciding on if its worth a slot (on bug missions, I do not think its worth it on bot missions). Two calldowns definitely makes it more attractive. I can myself replacing Orbital Laser with it for sure, as it's useful in the same situations. That being said it also has a lot more setup, longer calldown time, and might just explode before you even get into it if you're being swarmed so definitely a trade off. On the positive, should be able to kill four or more titans and chargers quite easily.

Hwurmp posted:poor Patriot, thought about ants & died I've never set myself on fire once, you need to know when to stop shooting and flee/dive. But yeah, it's still not the best weapon and should've been buffed more. That being said, it's absolutely amazing for choke points and breaches, and at the very least it CAN kill up to three Chargers at once if you're agile enough and aim correctly. You can also kill a charger in well less than a canister if you aim properly. More relevant than ammunition, you can take them out in only two of their charging attacks. I would prefer further buffs but I've come to enjoy it with bugs, a good complement to the rest of my tools which are longer range. Play fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Mar 9, 2024 |
