It was fun for a while but honestly I'm already kind of bored with it. The loot system is random by nature so you end up going godmode and winning the map or either A) having a rock vs machete fight with someone and losing in the first three minutes or B) play the "SMG VS Handgun" fight for the last kill of the game

I still enjoy playing a lot and it's become a nightly routine for my friend and I. The fight mechanics need a ton of work though. It's really dumb that a person who blocks 95% of the time is going to win the majority of their fights. They either need to make shoving better or make it so that blocking drains stamina or something.

I find that the best way to punish a block spammer is to charge your weapon, then block cancel into a push. But yeah, blocking shouldn't be such a free action. I'm hoping that a new map comes out soon. That'll really get me back into the game.

So, just curious, what is everyone's win/loss ratio, and rough kills per match or whatever?

woozy pawsies posted:So, just curious, what is everyone's win/loss ratio, and rough kills per match or whatever? When chemist was broken I was winning roughly 1/3 of my games with about 4 kills per game. Now that it is fixed I'm more around 15% but I'm still just struggling to find what works now - - best so far was Katana with knives blood and stealth but if someone gets a gun you're boned.

Were you playing singles or teams? because I'd say singles has more of a luck element. I think explosives negate guns pretty well, as well as smoke bombs. I mean, generally if you have a gun within 10-15 minutes it is your game to lose, but there are plenty of counters to pretty much everything, imo.

Another big patch coming next week:quote:Private lobbies - Create and join private lobbies to play free-for-all matches with friends. People are saying the Angry Octopus perk may involve a smoke-bomb effect when the player drops below a certain health. Could be interesting or could just be really annoying.

It'd be nice if we were retroactively given those Trial Tokens. But it's nice to finally have a reward for winning.

"Female playable character - Play as a female contestant with an extensive suite of customization options." I'm really hoping this means something more than just "boob slider."

how many sliders are required for a boob slider to be acceptable

One for each, or are we talkin' a four-pack here?

that's a good follow up question do boob sliders become more acceptable the more of them there are

The female model doesn't look sexualized at all, I think they just mean clothes/hairstyles like male models have, since the women appear to have new hairstyles like a awful Skrillex cut.

Did an update change combat again? Now I'm just getting people who are throwing a ton of attacks before I can block so fights are them stabbing me three times, getting my block up, maybe getting one counter hit in, getting shoved, stabbed three more times, trying to push them and dying. It feels super lovely compared to the last time I played.

I don't know how you can claim spamming attack is the way to go after watching this dude, though. He blocks, shoves, throws, uses a mix of strong and power attacks, and wins doing it.

He complains of ping differences and the shove changes contributing to what you see on screen not correlating closely enough with reality, enough to make combat frustrating. I haven't played the patch yet myself though, so I'm not sure how to feel about it. I like the written word of the patch notes though, hopefully they get any bugs ironed out.

I wasn't talking about the best strategy. That post was a vent after having two matches in a row where it felt like I couldn't even compete. Which was strange because when I first got the game I could at least hold my own in a fight. Sokani posted:I didn't see the part where he melts down, but a big complaint was bugs.

The final hour of his stream is on VOD but it's a mix of combat feeling sloppier, inability to counter spam cancel shoves due to ping, nearly half the server dropping due to crash, weapons not throwing right, weapons getting stuck after being thrown, the overpowered nature of the Cyclops drop, spears being the only real counter to armor.

Has anyone had an issue, post-patch where their outfits show up fine in the game menu but once you're in the map everything resets to the default?

# ? Apr 28, 2016 06:13 |

Constantly. It may have something to do with what screen you're on when you join the game. It seems like there are UI hitches everywhere as well.

Yeah after having played this patch for a couple hours last night it definitely has some serious issues. Some I can think of off the top of my head: Push still cancels power attacks (didn't they say this would be fixed? Wtf?) Throws still don't work sometimes (thought this was supposed to be fixed a while ago) Major FPS drops at beginning of rounds Also, as has been mentioned, the Cyclops drop is so poorly balanced it should be embarrassing for the devs. Someone pointed out that it actually costs less than the Tough drop. So yeah, Tough is 115 for a sledgehammer (tier 4 bludgeon), body armor, and iron skin. Cyclops is 110 for a trident (tier 4 spear), body armor, and orange juice. How did nobody realize how dumb that is? Anyways, I'm hoping they iron this stuff out quickly. Luckily, Rocket League Hoops can fill in in the meantime.

Hotfix dropped.patch notes posted:Fixes I don't like that poison gas shutdown starts later, especially now that the InHuman perk makes hiding away a real possibility. I guess the shutdown will probably have started naturally at that point (it starts at the 10 min mark regardless, right?). Here's hoping they keep the fixes coming, especially more meaningful, shove-related ones. E: They also did the first wave of teamer banning, good to see action is being taken.

Sokani posted:I run dig deep and big boned. It's 155 health While I don't fault you for taking advantage of the newest retarded meta, I really wish Xaviant would think about this stuff beforehand. It actively discourages people to engage in the early game when you don't know if the guy you're attacking is going to take 20 years to kill. Meanwhile his teammate could nail you in the back at any moment.
