I wish I could wrap my head around the drums' frequent double notes but I'm just that uncoordinated.

Cluster bombs ain't too bad at all, I learned today. Got ambushed, managed to throw it right at a dude's feet. Dude was gone in 2 seconds, lmao

Some pals and I were coming up out of the vault and basically got carpet bombed. Impressive.

A couple of times now if I get killed but then rezzed at a van my mouse decides to stop working. I can still move with WASD but can't look around.

The Turtles look cool, though. April too, who I didn't know we'd get.

I'm enjoying the racing but for some reason my controller likes to decide that RT is also the jump button about the third lap in.

So I've been doing the races but I'm not getting credit on the missions for finishing them? Is that a thing? I dip after I see my placement so I don't think I'm leaving too early but :shrug:.

Do you idle in the jam stage area or in the main stage lobby?

Jam Stage. Just pick a track and an instrument and let it sit for half an hour. Today, I did my laundry while waiting.

Sadly the jam stage no longer appears to give out real XP and instead Festival Pass XP which I've already finished.

Where did you see this info.? I have not been able to verify.

edit: I'm definitely still gaining xp from being AFK in Jam Stage. There is a limit per day.

Weird. I played for my dailies, let a Ninja Turtle rock out for 30 minutes and came back and all I got was Festival XP.

This is what I meant. It's festival pass XP now.

I think so. It still counts as finishing a race, even if it's annoying other people to wait.

I've heard COD Mobile lets you buy any previous battle pass and just play it out as normal. Doesn't sound like the worst thing in the world.

I don't understand how damage works in this game sometimes. I'll be shooting at somebody with like Valeria's SMG and not doing any damage to them it feels like but they'll down me in two shots from a green pump shotgun. It's probably me doing something wrong, obviously, but I just wanted to Complain on the Internet once.

New weekly quests look doable save for my own personal skill issues in a couple of cases. Is there an easy way to get the score riding a dirtbike?

Learning the game as I am it's interesting to note that it seems, for the most part, much better to calmly return fire than bounce around. Who knew?

E: So I'm not double posting I'll add it here; Are there cheaters in rocket racing or is the netcode and rendering just kind of iffy? I'm noticing more and more in some races I'll just suddenly drop down in placement, sometimes with the car just magically appearing in front of me.
When it first started happening I assumed there were shortcuts or better paths that shaved off half a second, but now that I know the tracks a little better I can tell that isn't what happened, the most annoying ones are when I'll be in say 2nd at the finish line, and cross it to be told I'm actually in 4th or 5th, and the real 2nd place finished a full second ahead of me -despite the fact I saw first on screen and not the person who supposedly passed me in the blink of an eye.

It sure feels that way sometimes. A couple of times today I was in first place and then poof, I came in fourth and the indicator didn't, well, indicate that anybody was super close behind me and they zoomed by in a way that didn't make me think they were boosting.

Just had the best ending to a game. A buddy I was in a squad with was down to her and the last player, last storm circle basically, and all she could was find was boxes so she through them all down, hid in one and when the other guy came shot at the wrong ones. Chef's kiss.

Ah, you have to swap jams every 2.5 minutes to get Jam Festival to work. Eh. I'm unemployed and I don't have that kind of time (or interest, really).

Completely agree on all counts. I was bummed when they decided perks weren’t coming back this season. Weapon mods are fun but there aren’t enough workbenches.

Feels especially punishing if you play solo a lot but that might just be me who struggles against bosses by my lonesome.

Is the Enforcer AR considered good? It feels like a decent sniper substitute but a not-great AR.

Visualize sound effects is a must. You are actively handicapping yourself without it.

Although be warned that if your friends use grapple blades a lot it can throw you at first. Or still, like with me.

I never get survey questions about poo poo that matters, just "do you think coconuts are OP? and does the game properly communicate how to use them?"

My last one was 'how hard is it to escape from other players' and 'how hard is it for other players to escape you' and the joke answer is 'TOO HARD' and 'TOO EASY' but it still feels like a weird question. It's honestly probably fine if you carry Shockwave 'nades or a Port-A-Bunker.
