So looks like Extraction is coming out at the end of the month. On XGP day 1, too. I wasn't too impressed with what I saw, but they also delayed the game by a few months so maybe they've added more features since. Oh and Siege is going to be on XGP as well.

Game pass means I'll be playing it, lol.

Edit: Do we want a separate thread for Extraction?

Yep, Extraction is out and on gamepass. My first impressions are pretty good.
For anyone still unlocking Siege operators I think it said it unlocks the ones in the Extraction in Siege.

I am looking for people to play extraction with. Ideally not on YET another discord. So like, the coop goons discord feels like the best place.

Things could be going better

Extraction is pretty fun, Siege had good shooting mechanics but you actually pulled the trigger so rarely that a PvE version seems obvious. Making you rotate operators and the stealth system is cool, if a bit opaque on what will and will not alarm and when.

Also whoever made the corrupted hive mission a thing will pay for his crimes.

I was wondering who you were on my uplay friends list but now I know.

So that first match I did we completed all theee objectives easy. Tried a second mission, one teammate died, carried them to the pod, orher guy voted to extract and so did I so we didn't even complete the first objective lmao.


Discovered there's a solo mode and you still get rewards from it, which is very cool. Liking the game a lot so far

They did a good job at not forcing you to play with randoms if you don’t want to. Majority of my playtime has been duo.

I feel like a trio, even though the objectives are harder is way better than a duo.

In conclusion, play with me!

Is there a separate thread for extraction or something? I didn't see one, but it seems pretty quiet here. Game's great, lots of fun, especially with a buddy or two. Online quickplay seems to be all about the speedrunning, so it's almost like a different game when you're playing with randoms. I don't like going that fast, but I'll pop the advanced drone and just give them a pile of intel so they're at least not smashing their face into too much trouble unaware.

I'd like to find more people to play with, hard to get a game going. Pubs seem, hit or miss I just dont need some xbox kid with a hot mic.

Nope sorry, I misread it. Cross progression is available between current *families* of consoles (ps4 and ps5, for example). True cross progression is coming sometime in the next few months.

All the Year 7 Changes and Announcements Stream:

-New defender can create solid bulletproof barricades by throwing her naruto knife at walls/floors/ceilings
-Goyo rework has him putting explosive cans on walls and floors, no free metal shields
-Team Deathmatch added permanently
-Thatcher EMP nades for everyone
-Valk cams finally only work outside for 10 seconds (they've been putting this off)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyLNcAhmXj4




New CG Video that is pretty high quality, surprise face reveal of the hottest operator who has previously remained masked

Yeah, I was hoping they'd ditched the idea of nerfing Valk's cams, permanently. :( I mean, tossing blackeyes into trees and the like is what makes Valk great!
Although, what's the deal with the Thatcher EMP thing? I didn't see that in my quick look through the patchnotes earlier. I assume he'll be getting a better EMP gadget in return, at the same time

Valk cams made defender runouts too powerful, but it's not clear this nerf will be enough

Sorry, here's more info on Thatcher:

-Thatcher rework means his emp nades become cookable/chargable, and the longer you cook/charge them, the bigger an area of effect they have
-Non-Thatcher emp nades will be very small area of effect and you might only get one of them

Yeah, I'm not convinced it's a great idea - since I mean, that's what claymores are for! Whenever runouts like that occur, someone always gets hit by a claymore under a window (or in front of a door) and then you just use 'em as bait to get another! :D

Man I understand how outside Valks were fun, but gently caress outside Valks forever and this is an amazing change. She still has super fun and creative placements everywhere else within the map, so she's still mad powerful, she's just less cheesy now. Maybe she won't be my stack's permaban now.

My current salt is that my callout game is much better than my actual gunplay game, so I'll die, give great information to my team, but we'll still lose because I died early and left us at a 4v5 situation :negative:

There's no story, just lore pieced together through a bunch of operator bios and all these short cinematic videos they release every so often

I've played on the new map about four or five times now and I'm getting the hang of the downstairs but upstairs is just a giant nightmare labrynth so far.

Also as attacker don't spawn on the bottom spawn, it's spawnpeek heaven.
