Custom maps mean someone will recreate dust2 day-of, and then we will play only that, forever.

I hope they don't do map queues like CS:GO, I like being forced into learning all the maps instead of just getting comfortable on one and then playing it forever.

Yep, map queues are the worst. You take the good with the bad. Otherwise you get 24x7 DE_DUST servers filled with people with 1000 hours of experience on that map

Added curtains to the top of double doors on Haven to remove the Sage Barrier Orb boost that allowed players to see through a sliver of the door at the top Awww I just learned how to do that

Ya know, it doesn't take that long to design a map for a game like this. Not seeing a good reason they still only have 3.

George H.W. oval office posted:It feels like Bind is their dust2 equivalent. i really hope not. Split is the only map that I really like, with a proper mid and a split if attackers can take it. The teleporters on Bind are interesting, but I think is prefer if one in A short was just a connector. The teleporter to rotate B to A is interesting. I really really really don't like Haven, but maybe that's because I haven't played a game on Haven with a good team. Mid/B are drastically underplayed and the engagements seem bland I feel like de_cache could be ported and modified to make a more interesting Haven with 3 sites

We better have dust as well as dust2! I remember liking the really dumb, broken gimmicky maps back in the old days of CS and never liking either dust. Sure 747 was horrifically broken but it was unique!

"Enabled the ability to see VALORANT players online in Riot games" Referring to this from the Quality of Life section of the recent patch notes. I think I'm misinterpreting it though. I guess it means you can see Valorant players online in LoL, TFT, etc.

Many devs, including Riot and Blizzard, intentionally obscure their player counts and simply announce positive milestones without any transparency. Doing so generally sidesteps the issue of the "dead game" self-fulfilling prophecy, where declining players numbers being visible fuels criticism, general despondency and probably encourages more people to stop playing. Of course, they can't hide Twitch viewer counts and so on, which people by-and-large use as a substitute. Don't expect a real-time viewer count for Valorant ever though, there won't be one almost guaranteed. d0grent posted:I'm now up to 15 games in a row where someone afk's on one or both teams It hasn't been that bad for me, but it's been a thing for sure. Closed beta syndrome - with nothing on the line and no punitive measures implemented yet, people are going to AFK and leave a lot. It will moderately improve as time goes on and with ranked play. Of course, best to play with friends full stop. d0grent posted:Ya know, it doesn't take that long to design a map for a game like this. Not seeing a good reason they still only have 3. It takes longer than you think to design a tight competitive map, which is what they are shooting for. Some people may only be used to games where devs poo poo out like twenty maps at launch, most of which are totally unsuitable for anything but public play. However, you're right in that they've probably had plenty of time to develop more than 3 maps. And it is very likely that they have 2-3 more competitive maps ready to line up and launch. In fact I'd expect them to release another one or two during the Closed Beta, or at least for the Open Beta if that is happening. They won't release all the maps they have immediately into the beta pool, because they can thoroughly test this pool of maps and iron out the literally hundreds of quirks and bugs. I played the CS:GO closed beta in very early stages, and you could only play one map a week in the beginning. There was only a limited pool of competitive maps even by release, and that was with the insane advantage of literally just reskinning existing maps. e: well I googled it, and apparently there is a datamined map called Ascent with a general Venice theme that is likely to be put into the beta at some point.

I used to make a lot of maps for Counterstrike, so I know exactly how long it takes to make a good map. They've had more than enough time and there should be at least 6 by now if not more.

I don't see it mentioned specifically in the notes so I don't know if this will be fixed tomorrow but I have narrowed down a weird issue where my ping increases only when I am doing something. For example if I stand still with hands off the keyboard I get ~30ms but when I move the mouse around and nothing else it goes up to ~100 and when I stop it drops back down again. It happens in practice map by myself too. Its hard for me to think of a technical reason that would result in something like that.
