CampingCarl posted: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. Are you playing at very high fps? I know there was a bug earlier where people playing on really high FPS had latency issues that were fixed by capping at 120fps.

I am pretty new to this genre, always stuck to Quake when everyone jumped ship to Counter Strike. I am really enjoying this game though. I was wondering if there was a guide somewhere with standard defensive positions on each map for different characters? Is that even a thing in this type of game, or is more about map knowledge and knowing how far forward or how far back to sit on defense?

I don't think 'standard' positions would change much by character, with a few exceptions for those with area denial, but more by the weapons they have. Positioning is big so map knowledge is really important but you have to combine that with some game sense and communication because you can't see everything.

If you mean which characters should go where, I don't think there is a big guide on that, but honestly I don't keep up much with community content shenanigans so there might be. All characters can play all positions, but undoubtedly some are more suited to one place than another. Just to use Bind as an example, most good teams I've played against often put Viper or Omen on bathrooms. Omen because he can keep it almost smoked almost all round and it's easy to blind people, Viper because she has a completely broken one way bubble on top of the exit. Sage commonly mid, because she can wall and slow any pushes effectively in the choke without facing. Cypher in Window room because easy places to camera and tripwire in there. Sova/Breach on B long, because the arrow info is useful there, and because Breach abilities are just good down long corridors with no escape. If you mean just like, where should I stand to have a good angle on enemies, the only relevant advice imo is don't stand in the same place more than two rounds in a row. Playing aggressive or passive, holding close or far, making a crossfire with a teammate or not - it's too contextual to give one-size-fits-all advice on.

Just got my closed beta invitation after idling on some stream for a few hours a couple weeks back and I'm pretty excited! Haven't played anything counter strike really since highschool on low gravity servers, outside of surf maps cause I'm way into any dumb movement mechanics. Any major things to know going in fairly cold on the game? Any specific characters that are better for newer players?

Sage has useful abilities no matter what, but if you're playing solo, some people will harp on you for heals/rez, using rez wrong, and you can gently caress up walls p bad. My advice is to play Phoenix. Very simple and straightfoward. Nobody cares what you are doing, your abilities are practically of zero team utility whatsoever so you can go hog wild. I like Phoenix. Also he is probably gonna be the least competitive hero by miles. I think they could make his flame wall kill enemies with a single touch and it'd still be next to useless.

Phoenix team flashes are a nightmare if you don't know what you're doing, I'd say he's almost as likely as Sage to get raged at if you gently caress up.

For free... d0grent posted:...considering the maps are one of the only ways a game like this has any variety. Map variety is not important in a game you’re trying to present with eSports in mind. League of Legends, Rocket League, every actual sport... all played on a basically standard map. They want people to strategize on a recognizable, standard play field that the casual viewer can become familiar with.

I can't think of any maps, outside of maybe Quake or UT, that have had more playtesting done to polish timings and angles. Most of the major map features currently ingame, like mid-doors, directly copy snippets of CS maps anyway. A poorly balanced map for a CS style game is a nightmare to play, and pooping out 7 maps that haven't been playtested to death sounds pretty unfun.

I don't think the main point that "3 maps isn't very many" is really wrong or anything. The full game being released with only 4 maps is pretty low, but I have no idea the size of the team working on the game, we have no idea how many maps they have in the pipeline, and so on. For a game in development for "years", it does seem like few. It doesn't really matter a great deal to me, given they are obviously building this game for the long-haul. Different agents make the same maps play out differently, and the most important thing is the overall gameplay loop being solid. To me, the more salient mapping question is less whether Riot will drip-feed us new maps from their ivory tower, but whether community mapping will be permissible. If it isn't already obvious, a massive amount of things in CS were community sourced. Game modes like gungame, surf, climbing maps, totally bizarro poo poo, and even a large number of maps in the competitive pool.

Now that they have the system tray icon I'm good. I'd still like a checkbox option on the launcher to uninstall automatically when I close Valorant down and just reinstall/reboot when I go to play but this is a nice middleground. The way they handle drivers they don't like seems backwards though. They automatically disable some software if it feels like it's a vulnerability. This is leading to some people having issues trying to boot up their computers or getting BSOD because it's disabling drivers they use to control things like thermal management. I'd rather it lets everything boot up normally then flag it/not let you play until you deal with it.
