I just need a good sniper for saving AR ammo and picking off mist monsters. It's been a real PITA to find one AND level it

Yeah I dunno. PvE has completely turned me off with schematic XP. Having to use the same guns for 10-20 hours is too much.

I made one way back at release of the PvE mode, in the OP, but it doesn't get used much for multiplayer.

There is zero chance that what occurs in that trailer will ever actually happen in game. Kind of a fun mode, but seems to swing in one team's favor very early.

Dis is amazing!
I gotta try dis!

Earlier this week the PvE Vindertech event quests were hard to finish because doing 34 or 40+ missions with storms was nearly impossible in Plankerton, they just didn't show up much. Tonight there's a lot more of them available at 34, 40, and 46. It's much better and will make finishing part 8 possible without being in Canny Valley yet (I'm behind on my questing since I spend a lot of time doing event stuff I guess).

50v50 is the greatest thing. Holy poo poo is it fun when you have a huge group running and gunning together and building a giant gently caress off base.

Personally, I think is the type of thing that will get old fast. But is a timed event so is fine.

I have not played it yet, but I think it would have work better with the circle getting smaller in a place that is marked from the begin. So is 50v50 king of the hilll mode instead of TDM.

Play it. Also, it's hilarious when a huge group gets caught in the storm and you see a bunch of them dropping like flies.

It sucks when you’re with a squad and run into 15 guys but on the other hands it’s so fun when you’re in the opposite scenario.

The mode makes the beginning and end fights so much more fun, but makes the middle drag when it’s just two big groups all running together looking for each other

The game gets pretty crazy when you're on the losing side of a 2v20. No one knows where the last 2 are and just go kinda nuts. I was able to down like 5 people as they all tried to rush my 1 by 1 but obviously there's no time to fully kill them so it's a hopeless cause. I wonder if players should just die instantly rather than going into down status like a normal squad game.

Just got 11 kills plus the finishing blow in a 50v50 - this was also the first game where I saw multiple swings in the team count lead and where the end was actually a somewhat interesting base v base situation with some players layout out horizontal jump pads at spots where we might need to pass while taking fire etc. This game mode has a lot of potential but needs some sort of polish I can't quite put my finger on.

I was getting a bunch of lag even in PVE earlier, I think it was just some hiccups on their end.

As with all battle royale games they reduce the tick rate on updates for certain events (breaking boxes, opening doors etc) during the early game when there are 100 players spamming the server with movement updates and actions.

Otherwise this is consistently the least laggy, most well optimized BR game I've played.

I'd really like to see some preset buildable structures (for higher material cost) rather than having end game so often come down to who can best fumble through the building controls (especially in 1 v 100 on console). A one click 3 walls and a ramp sort of thing, for example, to reduce the stairway to nowhere clutter that so often gets panic spammed by the bulk of players.

Maybe structure blueprints could drop as an item? Legendary structure drops that plop down a house in one shot would be absolutely hilarious.

More loot on landing and having the zone where you can see your teammates slightly bigger

For some reason there are a lot of lag spikes (other than the usual when somebody join) that where not before. Also lots of new bigs that did not appear before. Here in the PvE side of things the game is getting worse for some reason (?). I attribute it to maybe we are playing a temporal version that don't have enhancements and with the next event we will get them. I hope they fix it has I have not interest in playing the pvp game long term.

Bigger teammate radar zone would definitely help to increase odds of a large scale shootout, which is fun. Also, maybe some kind of color coding of friendly and enemy structures. It's really hard to tell if you're just sniping holes in a friendly structure if theyre not within radar range. Heck it's hard to tell even when they *are* in range.

I think proximity chat would also be good for 50 v 50 - last game I had 4 shields extra but my "squad" died and I had no idea what health/shield everyone else was at - nor could I communicate what I had for them effectively. Would also be good for taking charge and spotting enemies.

So far basically all bugs that you see now, were in last week as well. Then they fixed it, for like 3 days.

It's insanely annoying to see those bugs return, especially since you can so easily die because of them. Their response made me smile though, mostly because of the irony but still.

Picked a good day to start playing this game, the servers seem to be going up in flames, making it nigh impossible to join a party with friends.
When it works, 50v50 is unbelievably fun though. I haven't had a blast like this since classic Ace of Spades.
