Man, picked this up not long ago, been running a pretty even split between randos and partners i know. Fun as hell either way (except when your rando partner is a moron who keeps running into grunts and dying). Got my first Gauntlet Run today. We were just going to pick up the clue at the nearest camp to the spider we just killed for the cash, and that turned out to be where the butcher was. The fun part was then running 1/2 the map to extraction being hounded the whole way. Also, unrelated, got my first "oneshotted with a perfectly cooked big bundle of dynamite by a rank 78 player". There a specific discord for goons on this game?

I had this partner who's response to the banishing signal going up was to run full sprint to the boss area (we were only a couple hundred feet away perfectly silent), attempt to shoot/blast his way in through concertina and trying to shotgun out fusees, and die to a big dynamite bundle. all while yelling on voice chat. some freakin people. we could easily have just snuck in the other side and gotten the jump on them.

caedwalla posted:More granular skill based matchmaking would be nice but I doubt the game's population can support it. This is true. I feel that the 'gen pop' cut off being 33 is incredibly harsh. I dont consider myself a bad player at all but I know that if I'm in a game against multiple rank 100s I'm basically hosed no matter what. getting headshotted at 90m from someone you couldn't even see 5 games in a row just isnt fun.

AbsoluteLlama posted:Decoys are easier to use. The throwing knife is really the most OP weapon in the game though as it's essentially a melee weapon that works with no stamina. I don't bother recovering my stamina as much anymore as I can always just pull out a throwing knife and short range throw even with zero stamina. throwing knives are amazing. people have given me poo poo when they see me carrying them until i sprint through 2 zones silently taking out everything in front of me in one shot without even slowing down. they're really really accurate too if you get the arc down. trick! if you see a hunter but can't get particularly close, open with a knife. you can have your gun out and readied by the time it hits, and you'll silently take a massive chunk off his health.

super simple fix. killcams that engage only after permadeath. if you're solo or when your body is burnt or when you AND your partner die, then killcam becomes available.

my partner and I managed to sneak up on a team fighting the spider kiting at the door. we hear over the VOIP "Hey, I dont think we're alone" about 1.5sec before my concertina detonates behind them, sealing them inside the boss lair with a scream of "RUN!" A flash bomb through the roof and my partner rushing in later, 2 dead hunters and 1 free boss. God, I love this game.

this one is probably gonna get some pushback but... decoys are awesome. imo required gear, and at $4 that's fine. they allow you to (mostly) silently take out dogs and chickens by smacking that lantern above them at incredible distance, you can lure clue guards or water devils away, you can confuse a paranoid defensive hunter by making noises on all sides of them, and most amusingly, you can trigger mobs near sneaking people. a single well placed decoy can trigger those dogs or hives someone is trying to sneak past, and they never blame you for it, they just assume they got too close. then you shotgun them in the back. decoys guys, buy em, get good with em.

I got into a churchtower fight with a vetterli, ended up taking down 2 encroaching hunters at the cost of my own life. last shot exchanged was headshot for headshot. bought my partner time to take down the boss cleanly and then come rez me tho. iron sights at 100m ain't easy.

apparently when you select solo there will be a separate selection for "solo event". normal games will remain playable as normal.

I played 2 games of solo mode. That's how long it took to realize it was wildly unbalanced hot garbage. Nobody likes playing a game against 9 camping assholes. If its gonna be perma-in, I'm gonna be perma-not-playing-that-mode.

I basically managed to fail at that same situation earlier today. I was literally 5 feet from 2 guys, behind them, moments after they downed the butcher, and perfectly clear los. Neither knew I was there. Whiffed my first shot entirely, chested the 2nd instead of head so it didnt kill him, whiffed the 3rd, got shot in the face with a sparks and died.

NerdyMcNerdNerd posted:At least 50% of my deaths are due to melee, and melee weapons are very powerful at every stage of the game. Guns like the Talon that give you a melee weapon and a gun in the same slot are almost always worth it, especially when you're in those early tiers. If there was a side by side with a bayonet or a bladed stock it would be the most insane close quarters weapon in the game. there are shotguns with melee, they're either very good (see: Romero talon) or kinda total poo poo (see: spectre bayonet) overall I'd say they're actually pretty well balanced.

the big deal is neither clothes nor weapon choices. yeah those both matter, but the BIG thing is post-33 you're getting dropped into the general population. No longer are you against the other rank 25 player, now you're against a rank 84 with 17 prestige ranks. There is no population splitting besides "under 34" and "not". That is why you suddenly get a difficulty curve like running face first into a brick wall. If you get killed by anyone 100 or with prestige ranks, dont feel bad at all about it. because when you finally get that bastard back it is SO sweet. And you will, eventually.

I dont know where all these mythical avtos you are so angry about are. I havent seen one in probably 40 games. and that guy got his face murdered with a machete iirc. simple situational awareness beats an avtomat every time. sneak up and Romero the dick. or stalk him and put a winny round through his skull when he holds still too long. or just follow him to the boss and then jump em midfight. Frankly, these should be your engagement strategies no matter the enemy's weapon. Play to your strengths, don't whine about theirs.

Literally nothing in that list looks good except trainee mode. They're "fixing" the wrong things and adding a BR mode just makes me want to vomit. The point of this game is that it ISN'T just another stupid BR game.

It's possible they will put their spin on it and it will be good, but mother of god that is a slim prayer. The much better hope is there is a massive backlash against this terrible idea and they actually listen and trash it.

the uppercut ammo was nerfed because it carries the same ammo as the moisin. this way if you're carrying an avtomat with an uppercut you only get 12 extra rounds, not 18.

its 100% trying to fix things from the wrong side. if your gun is too powerful the fix isnt nerfing the entire ammo pool, its nerfing the drat gun. in the case of the avtomat it's really simple too. make it not a 2hit kill. it's a drat machine gun. as for the dolch its stats are too high across the board. too accurate, too fast, too high damage. nerfing the ammo pools on other guns to compensate for those 2 is downright retarded.

It's like they composed this entire set of proposed changes while totally shitfaced. Up until now they haven't made a single decision I've been vehemently against, just occasionally stumbled in their implementation (water devils are a good idea, they are currently overtuned). While I personally am not a fan of solo mode, there was a general positive response to it from the public, so implementing it as a true mode in the game made sense. Some of us just wouldn't play it. This though... I literally can't follow their line of thinking on half these changes. (Or I can but it's so stupid it's utterly baffling)

Yeah... I'm with Basticle on this one. I havent seen an avtomat in literally weeks (last time was when my partner said fuckit and pulled his out for shits and giggles) I'm not denying the weapon itself is overpowered, but I played 2 dozen rounds yesterday and didn't see or even hear one as far as I could tell. No idea how you're magically encountering them every game.

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.

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.
