I've softened on the mode as a whole but it still isn't super fun and I'd rather just play BR or Control if it's available.

Oh lol while mulling it over I realized now why my winrate has vastly improved, it's because I went from a GTX 970 to a 3070Ti early this year. Turns out this game is WAY easier to play with consistently high framerates

yep. this game in particular (imo) doesn't scale very well at the low end, certainly not like other battle royales which has very clear potato+draw distance as their competitive modes like fortnite. there are some settings that i actually like a little higher, like shadows, because sometimes they can give you a competitive advantage.

Played some pug ranked last night, I'm still in rookie but I wanted to ask: This game has a fantastic ping system, which I both use and respond to when my team mates use, but I don't like interacting with with randoms, so I have voice disabled. What are the odds on this tilting my team mates? Do you think it would be better or worse if I left voice on but just turned it all the way down? Another ranked pick up game question: if your team of strangers hot drops to a near certain death, do you ride and die with them?

If your teammates are getting tilted because you aren't talking they are probably going to get tilted by anything at all. Not your problem. Ride And Die All Day. You either get some kills and feel good or you get into another game quickly with the small small chance one of your teammates holds your banner and you hostage in the game for another 5 minutes.

Did they gently caress up ranked some more this weekend? I don't play a ton of it, but managed to rank up to like bronze 2. Somehow yesterday I was rookie 2? It seems like the lobbies are functionally the same, since I was playing with bronze and silver. I really like throwing the bronze holospray, but not enough to grind to bronze lollife_source posted:Ride And Die All Day. You either get some kills and feel good or you get into another game quickly with the small small chance one of your teammates holds your banner and you hostage in the game for another 5 minutes. This, especially when there's no entrance cost. Worst case scenario you end up going again in a minute.

The ranked experience is smoothing out the farther we get into the split because players are getting back to their expected rank instead of almost everyone overfilling the Bronze/Silver/Gold bracket.

Sure, but last week I was bronze and this week I'm lower than bronze without playing any ranked. It seems very silly for that to have been intended, but I haven't seen anyone else mention it.

Oh, sorry, I misread your post. That is very weird. It looks similar to the deranking effect that have added but if you weren't playing ranked then it's probably a bug. Report it?

Jack B Nimble posted:Played some pug ranked last night, I'm still in rookie but I wanted to ask: I think there are lots of good reasons to not want to be speaking on voice with randoms, and if they don't like it then that's their problem. I would hope that you get more value out of having inbound voice on though at least, I can say "get behind that wall so I can revive you" easily enough but there's no specific ping for it. You can always just mute them individually if they are blaring music or being toxic. Better to disable voice altogether than turn it way down though, at least then I know you can't hear me saying there's an enemy behind you so I can try to ping it. As far as ride and die goes, if you're willing to play ranked with strangers in the first place then there's no point in getting hung up on what a better team would or could have done. Those strangers might be terrible but you've still got better odds if you go with it anyway. There's a tiny percentage of people who might be good enough to be better off splitting, but anyone that good wouldn't need to ask the question.

The rampage was also helped by the spitfire being in the package. With the spitty as floor loot you can just pick up the better squad wiping gun off the ground.

I can't find the option to tell your team to group up - is it just an automatic thing characters say or has my dementia finally started?

I use "I'm defending" quite a bit but I'll start using the other two, I'd been worried I wasn't clear enough when I was pushing off of a shield break.

WattsvilleBlues posted:I can't find the option to tell your team to group up - is it just an automatic thing characters say or has my dementia finally started? Characters automatically say it when squad members are too far away from each other. I wish there was a manual “regroup” ping, though. You could use it before the automatic conditions are met, or when teammates don’t understand that if they get a head start and keep moving there’s often literally no way to catch up. I’d also really like something along the lines of “I hear something” or “I think enemies are at X location”. The “enemies” voice lines are so specific about seeing them and it would be nice to communicate a bit more nuance. Sometimes I’m not sure if I heard them, or maybe I’ve just got a spidey sense tingling. Preferably you’d be able to use it on the map, too.

It's not as specific as you're saying so I feel you, but if I saw someone ping a "I'm watching this area", I'd go into a "condition yellow" and wait to see if my team mates soon confirms/engages

the spitfire is completely loving bonkers right now and you're a fool if you don't seriously consider it an insta-pick. i am generally building wingman->flatline->spitfire. i have friends who are ride or die for it right now.

Pinged doors show you when they are opened or closed, effectively serving as a free wallhack.

Unless I just haven't figured out how to do it, I wish there was a way to turn off some of the dialogue. I don't care that the champion has fallen or that there is a new kill leader... I'm trying to listen for footsteps or gunshots. Or turn down my teammates footsteps. There is already enough random noise in this game as it is.

I just wish the game would play the same voice lines for all participants. Like sure it's cool that there are different variations for every ping type, but everyone should hear the same variation.

Yeah that would be great. I play as Loba almost exclusively - when I move to another character, the movement feels off, for example Caustic feels like a bit fat poo poo to me. Is that just the sound of his movement or does he actually move more slowly?
