I had fun playing Splitgate, but the anti-cheat no longer lets me launch the game. Not sure what it thinks changed today, but I spent far too long trying to figure this out, so I guess i won't be playing anymore.

The game just got an 1.8 GB update announced at the same time at Gamescom. They launched Season 0 with its own challenges and rewards. There's also a pass you can pay for with a lot of cosmetic rewards. The game laucher UI got a revamp, now all those daily goofy modes got their own category and are available at once as a big separate list. There's a new map and a new game mode. I think they also finally added more servers.

They released a new trailer for the game too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5XKcTM_NM8 The new UI improvements are welcome, they still need to clear up the challenges page though, the bottom scroll bit is annoying. Interestingly at the moment at least you cant buy anything in the shop except split coin or the battlepass. Which is different from the rotating skins you could buy outright before. - New Map: Karman Station! Satellite - New Battle Pass with 100 Levels! Hundred points symbol - New Gamemode: Contamination! ~brains... Zombie patch notes are here https://www.splitgate.com/blogs/splitgate-season-0-launch But page is broken at the moment. splitgateTwitter posted:The Splitgate Website is currently overloaded from so much traffic.

Huh so with the pass being 900 coins you can end up getting 900 coins from it. Effectively making it free (IF you max it out that is)

George H.W. oval office posted:I wish that the ranked mode would show you how many points you lost or gained after a round. Yeah the post match screens are a bit crap, I'd also like more time between rounds sometimes to chat to people. Right now its 2 info screens then the lobby for about 5 seconds and next match. Either add more time in the lobby or have the chat usable the entire time. Also why is match stats hidden? It should be the main screen everyone sees after the game.

Effectively making it free (IF you max it out that is) That's pretty much how every game's battle pass works, as far as I know. (Although I'm only particularly familiar with Rocket League, but I believe Fortnite would give V-Bucks along the way.) It's a good idea; I would never bother, but knowing it can pay for next season's pass is cool, and might buy this one. I'm not like all the way in love with Splitgate, but it's fun.

Oh i didn't realise it was a common thing. Don't think I've ever looked at a pass in detail before. Ive ended up buying it because it was only a few quid with the coins i still had from the beta and I like supporting small indie teams.

How long does a "battle pass" last for? Like if you paid for it, how long do you have to max it out before it expires or whatever? It looks like for free you still progress in levels and certain items are free, but paying for it then gets you the non-free stuff up to your level, right? Also, have they ever talked about why we can't play CTF in matchmaking? Lakitu7 fucked around with this message at 22:35 on Aug 25, 2021 |

I bought the pass because hell, game is incredibly fun and I'm cool with throwing 8.50€ towards the devs and in the proces having a long rewards progression to unlock when playing.

My player code or whatever is EJXEDZ Just did three rounds and game owns. Shotgun / sniper mode is fun as hell, especially sniping people through portals. Next round was Team SWAT and I managed to go 35-0 without leaving my initial spawn room.

I feel like the bat could use some improvement... the windup is slow, and the hitbox seems really small, plus the animation doesn't really make it very clear when it's active. I might be overreacting though cause I played a round of zombie VIP, and it seems these problems are exacerbated by the super fast movement speed

Hate to break it to you but the game is sneaky and puts you against bots to begin with, then after a few games slowly starts taking them out.

I played a ton last night and at this point I’m pretty sure I’m playing real people. I’m not coming in first anymore but I’m holding my own, which is fun. Is ranked solo friendly or is more like Overwatch where if you don’t bring a team you are typically paired with raging nerds yelling through their mic?

Ciaphas posted:well now i'm annoyed and disheartened in equal measure I've noticed that if a player leaves during a game, it adds [bot] in front of the name to show that a bot has taken over, but I don't believe there's much of a way to tell if/when there's a bot in for the whole match. Maybe by checking the mute/report screen and seeing if the bots aren't listed there? Haven't tried that.

Ciaphas posted:well now i'm annoyed and disheartened in equal measure You shouldn't be annoyed. It's a clever mechanic to not scare people off instantly, by the time the bots are taken away most people have got the basics down and can hold their own against real players. Its difficult to spot bots at first but I believe they are only for the first few levels and it's only in casual, ranked is always humans (unless someone leaves)

I noticed when I hit level 10 and started playing goal focused modes like domination and king of the hill the skill of the players drastically increased. I still can’t differentiate the bots from players, but my assumption is that there are a lot less once you break level 10? In any case while it can be disheartening, it also allows you to learn the basics before jumping in and getting your face rocked every match. Fortnite is similar in that you play bots for like the first 5 games or whatever, I think. It’s kinda gross because it’s obvious they are trying to give you that dopamine rush in an attempt to hook you, but it also makes for a better initial experience imo.

I don't think it's insidious. They can't measure your skill very well if they started you against demonic killbot assassins. Ranked says crossplay required. Does that mean I'm playing only against other PC users in casual?

You definitely play against controller players in casual, in fact most matches are mostly people on controllers. I'm not exactly a fan, not that you can't compete, it has aim assist, but that the two play styles are really different. With a controller and aim assist, you want to kind of stay out of the action I would think since you can't maneuver as fast as KB/Mouse users. I find myself in sinpers and shotguns using shotguns mainly against controller players and getting in close.

Up at max sensitivity I just can't turn around fast enough to do melee range. I just switched my jump to L3 which helps to be able to move more like the mouse+key crowd. Thanks for the tip that walking makes you invisible on HUD. I don't usually run at all.

Is the location information for casual bugged? I just played a few matches, one of which had Europeans and another with people saying they were in Singapore in broken English. The games felt off too. One was team swat and I died multiple times where I was holding an angle and died when a shoulder enter line of sight, then watch the kill cam and they shot twice before I even did anything beside strafe. I’ve only noticed this since season zero started, so I’m not sure if I’m just imagining it or that there is something off.

This game has been pretty fun but at this point I'm barely using portals, trying to use them for combat-oriented purposes seems like a recipe for disaster for several reasons, so I just use them as rear-view mirrors or to have a jittery unpredictable presence around the map, so they've just become a like, fidget thing I do while not in combat. I just went 21-0 with 4 VIP kills as the VIP and it dawned on me that I don't really like the portal gimmick and find that ignoring it 90% of the time leads to more wins  Trying to conceptualize what a portal is doing is a really complex task and takes a lot of attention and I have a feeling that skill clicking and becoming purely intuitive is going to be totally out of reach of the vast majority of the playerbase (myself included, those things break my brain). If you run around pretending portals don't exist you'll realize that you can outplay the poo poo out of almost everyone because of how much slower their reaction times are when they're trying to make sense of portals. I've only ran into a few players total that seemed to have complete control over what they were doing with portals but they weren't any more effective than someone just jetpacking around with an assault rifle out. I'm sure any professional matches will be a different ballgame entirely and should lead to interesting highlights but I'm not interested in playing at that level, so portal-free is the way to be.I've also never been this good at a FPS before, a lot of players just feel like bots. I'm guessing crossplay is the reason why, it feels like most players are on consoles and have a significant disadvantage. The matches against PC players are pretty obvious since they feel like what I'm used to in competitive FPS. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 00:58 on Aug 29, 2021 |

Depending on your level, the players are bots. I don’t know the portal mechanics well, but they seem good for rapid positioning behind people, especially if they are already holding a hard angle on you.

That's relatively more true in things like team deathmatch but if you play more KOTH, Oddball, etc., there's more good use of portals.

Yea I find them useful in goal oriented modes, but you have to be real slick about it most of the time. Under the right circumstances you can cap 2 or 3 guys holding a position from afar while your teammates actually occupy it. I can see them being extremely useful given a team that communicates well, but you ain't gonna find that in public matches most of the time. I think my biggest problem with the game is that it lacks any real personality. It’s a fantastic arena shooter with interesting mechanics which is something I’ve been waiting for for a long time, but I think I’m already bored with it and I can’t explain why other than the ascetics are BORING.

On the other hand I find all the daily/weekly/season challenges really help keep me incentivized to keep playing in a way that didn't happen with previous generations. They're adding more varied player skins but the red/blue system during the actual game makes it so you barely see them most of the time anyway. Hopefully they continue to add more maps and modes.

I learned how to consistently use portals on the fly by playing game modes with limited weapon options. Shotty Snipers was perfect for this, you just spawn and instead of looking for weapons you switch to shotgun and go to town. Because you're only using one weapon you can focus on portals and with a shotgun you have to because you need to get close to your enemy. So whenever you see somebody you just shoot a portal as close to them as possible and then another one as close to you as possible and jump through it. That's how you build muscle memory for it. Once you get the hang of using portals all the time it becomes second nature and then you can start adding more complex tricks to your regular play.
