I do have to say, some of these breakthrough point placements are very silly. The rooftop ones on Orbital and Kaleidoscope are functionally impossible to capture for the attackers.

After further testing with solo bot matches the first 10-20 kills on a weapon or vehicle does count for unlocks but after that they do not. All XP does count towards leveling. So what you should do is start a solo bot breakthrough map and get the max kills on every vehicle and weapon. The bots at lowest AI setting are incredibly easy so you can at least get a headstart on everything. 10 kills on each weapon against actual people would take a lot of games so it at least gives you a bit of a boost. And if you just want to level and not worry about weapon unlocks all your XP counts and you can get a ton every match.

Still trying to guess whether it makes more sense to buy this game or subscribe to EA Play Pro for a month or two. There's not a whole lot of other releases in the next few months... if there were, it would be easier to just pay $15 for a month.

This seems super boring but I guess it would be handy to at least get a red dot so you don't have to iron sights for a game vs people. Most weapons are fine stock other than the obvious AR issues right now. Do bots fly choppers on the harder difficulties? It would be nice for jet unlocks since those are vehicle kills I think. https://twitter.com/BattlefieldComm/status/1460692001352036355?t=GQwHAkcVGWCe4_8gpuu_Bw&s=19 RIP my easy XP! I hope they re enable them today. It's fun tossing one of those on a busy area and watch the assists come in. DrBox fucked around with this message at 20:38 on Nov 16, 2021 |

Ah, glad that the rubber banding was a known issue. It was getting bad today. Trip report on the new Nvidia drivers that dropped: Much better than the last set of drivers (that dropped me 30 or so FPS), and slightly better than the drivers before that. Elerion posted:It's weird as gently caress to me that people think being able to make clips of uncommon bugs like this somehow makes the game's launch comparable to BF4, which literally crashed multiple times per session for almost everyone. Flashbacks to people screaming in chat "Don't bring the skyscraper down" on Shanghai because it would usually crash the whole server.

Why don’t bullets work in this game, I lit a guy up with an entire magazine only to have him turn around and kill me. I know I was hitting him cause I was getting blood shot out of him. Like, if guns don’t work in your shooter, you should probably delay the game as that seems pretty critical to me.

SMGs being.... ARs with high ROF and little if any damage drop off over range is just the funniest thing. What a ludicrous oversight, what a stupid drat thing like... wow. The small arms broadly are seriously hosed in the balance department, nothing works like it should. edit: Shotguns do have delightful range tho.

Yeah I was saying this a few pages ago and someone pointed out that the game was probably tested with coordinated squads playing. You could probably win it by dropping people out of choppers and coordinating strikes on the roof, but once you fill the game with random idiots it just amounts to everyone having to use the elevators with the defenders camping them, while the helicopters are flying around half way across the map. I have not once seen the attackers win on those levels and those points always drag the round out to way longer than it needs to be. You could be dominating the defenders and you will still lose. it'll just make it so that one capture point lasts 20 minutes. It's incredibly poorly thought out.

Sedisp posted:The smart rockets aka the rockets you just farm some bots in breakthrough until you get the at rockets only lock if they were close to hitting your target but juuuuust miss. So the first rockets (I think the second only lock onto air vehicles?) will just become more accurate once you've locked on? DrBox posted:Yep! I spent a good part of last night with a full squad in a hovercraft. Beer in one hand, mouse in the other shooting the grenade launcher. It definitely needs a nerf. I feel like it's currently possible to counter it and people just haven't really learned how yet (or realized the importance of it). If a couple people have RPGs and decide to kill a hovercraft, they can usually take you down. It's just that they usually don't (and most players don't seem to have internalized how much of a threat hovercrafts are yet; I think they still treat them like jeeps or something and will prioritize other vehicles). KrunkMcGrunk posted:The only times I've lost a heli are not coming out of a dive fast enough and hitting a building, landing awkwardly and rolling over, or getting shot by 2-3 rockets rapidly. Apaches get 1-shot by RPGs (even from full health), so I've died some due to getting too close to the ground and someone rocketing me.

to deal with choppers 1) have 2 ppl with stingers 2) make chopper burn countermeasure 3) if chopper doesn't line of sight you or get out of range ASAP it dies this is really easy with angel or squad beacons

Even with coordinated squad assaults it's borderline hopeless. Any helicopter closing in will be faced with a dozen AA missiles, and shielded elevator assault will be blown up by grenades and rockets. Really the best success we had was by taking hovercrafts and driving them up the sides of the building (which is hilarious), but even that was stymied fairly quickly.

Man is it just me or is there a serious difference in maneuverability between the rus Hind and the US VTOL? Seems like VTOL is always a sitting duck and super easy to kill, whereas a hind can zip out of any bad situation with 0 trouble.

I mean that I will have 3 attachments equipped in each slot from the main menu, and then once I am in game there will be nothing equipped at all. If I do it in game (well, at the respawn screen) they will stay equipped.

KrunkMcGrunk posted:Man is it just me or is there a serious difference in maneuverability between the rus Hind and the US VTOL? Yeah, that checks out. The VTOL seems to have much worse acceleration in all directions while in hover mode, making it harder to weave around cover near your objective. Of course, then again it can just enter jet mode and zoom away real quick whenever it wants. I've even outrun a missile once or twice that way I think.

Ironically a big mass of individual idiots who can’t communicate trying to take the tower works sometimes because it’s being defended by the same, I’ve taken the towers multiple times by just…taking the elevator up and dropping a spawn beacon, then someone else does the same and two squads is enough because 90% of the enemies who spawn just zip line way and nobody seems to care about objectives about 50% of the time When it’s anything less than that they’re impossible though, it’s absolutely bad game design, just like literally everything else about this game

They increased the starting tickets and tickets added for sector capture. Not sure that'll help with some of the tougher cap points, but it'll let you try for longer!

It's pretty interesting they can make all sorts of changes to the game with no patching, I wonder if that means they can do gun balance whenever they want as well. If so, please fix ARs.
