I apologize if you’re already aware of this and just don’t have enough blue currency, but don’t forget you can craft skins from the base loot pool like Blackheart. That’s what I did to get an earlier 2-for-1 combo with Crypto’s Korean lion-style skin, and this new one has the same base skin so it turned out to be a 3-for-1.

I calculated it and I won't be able to get enough in time sadly. I do have philosophers stone unlocked for when waste management finally comes back though.

Yeah this situation works out best for those of us who have been playing long enough to have accumulated stupid amounts of tokens and a decent amount of random legendary skins from packs. Sorry :(

I was thinking it was odd that they added coin prices for the recolors this time - why would you buy the recolor when you could get 2-for-1? And the recolors aren’t discounted like the base skins are so it’s even more of a bad deal. But I guess it’s set up that way for people in your position.

oh we go there all the time, we just always die there. thus the name. properly used like "where should we go? oh i know, that place we always die! love that place, can't remember why we don't go there every game"

lets see. there's "the bad arena map", that's thermal station. there's "final fantasy" for epicentre. wraith's PoI is called "the cone" or, disparaging, "the toilet". water treatment used to be "old reliable" ( :smith: ). Elysium is "gymnasium", hammond is "PS5". oh dropping rift straight away, going through the rift and ambushing the people landing on the other side is a "coolcab drop" but that's because i love to do it.

The two funnels in the old Refinery POI we used to call Good Player Hole and Bad Player Hole. We'd land and loot Good Player Hole because we're the best and the bad guys would do the same to Bad Player Hole and they deserved what they got.

If another team landed at Good Player Hole then they clearly chose the wrong one, those dummies


Three places:
The house outside The Pit by the desert near Bunker

The small village with a respawn point near Fragment and Geyser vault

and the two buildings by The Cage between there and Capacitor overlook

are all called Happy Homes because they're harmless little places that don't get too much in the way of traffic, but give you a bit of protection between some lovely high traffic POIs



The tunnel coming from Skyhook to Trainyard field we call Suicide Tunnel because the only time you'll use it is when you're leaving Skyhook in a rush, usually with the circle following behind you. If there was a team at the end of the tunnel (and there usually is) you're hosed


The cave under Overlook with six chests and a zipline going up is the Cave Of Wonders

That's a lot of nerfs but I'm not sure it goes far enough on the passive. The ability to roll up to to POI and tap M2 to never be surprised is still there, even if its a little slower to do.

They notably didn’t touch a lot of things people had issue with on the Q. Stopping heals/teases and silencing while revealing health and tracking for so long Is still bonkers.

Also good to have better data on the range of the blue/orange readings of the passive. It was never unlimited as someone here said, otherwise 360ing on the map would be a disco ball lol

I don't know how they thought the healing interrupt on Seer's Q wouldn't be absolutely annoying to be on the receiving end of, it's already like you are marked for death with the floating healthbar above you for 8 entire seconds, doesn't need to keep you or your allies from recovering.

He needs way more nerfs then this or a entire rework to be remotely fair.

"I said it was dodgeball time, bitch."
That's a decent amount of changes but he is still going to be the best character in the game. I really hope this isn't like Horizon where they just gently tapped her with nerfs for 2 whole seasons where she is the dominant legend before finally dumpstering her. I don't know if I can take 6 months of Seer.

EDIT: I am unsure of what some of the changes are for his passive. Did they remove the white crosshair indicator that basically says "shoot your Q now to hit them"?? That should at least make his tactical a little harder to hit.

Bloodhound just crying in the corner that his scan only reveals outlines for a tenth of a second and nothing else lol. The larger arc doesn't even matter because Seer's passive lets you know where to aim it and his ult is an almost always up better version of Bloodhounds scan that lasts forever.

I don't know that I've ever seen a character this poorly designed and out of line with the rest of a roster, including in fighting games post 16-bit era.

EDIT: Crypto not even in the room any more, he just left.

Ra Ra Rasputin

The heartbeat scanner would be character defining ability by itself... if he could only use it bare-handed and had to take it out/put it away like crypto's drone, instead he essentially gets wallhacks while aiming down his gun and can tell his team if someone is within 22000 range of them (don't worry it'll be 20000 next patch)

Instead it's only his PASSIVE and most of the roster don't even get a real benefit from their passives with crypto and pathfinder being the worst offenders.

Why is Seer’s range listed in arbitrary units? The game shows distances in meters in it, it’s not like the size is a big secret.

im glad seer keeps his passive because its the only way the game is playable half the time with all the characters in brown outfits on brown backgrounds.

Seer changes are a joke IMO. I will continue playing him to do my part to let them know his pick rate of 80% or whatever indicates a problem.

(Also because he’s overpowered as poo poo and it feels like a handicap not having one on my team, but I repeat myself.)

E: this post is toxic and to be more constructive, just redesign the entire character thx respawn!

Remove his Q, make his passive his Q for 10 seconds with an added effect that any damage he does reveals/shows health for 8 seconds while it's active. Make's him way more active and requires engagement and not just wallhack pokes that give you free engages.

Also let Rampart open extra supplies like Lifeline but it's all ammo/magazines.

also change path's passive to be a tiny arm that pops out of his chest holding a tennis racket and batting away grenades that get near him in a frontal cone.

this is better than the zipline cooldown reduction on scans passive and fits in with his character personality.

As long as the Q is charged you can run around full speed, with a weapon out depressing the left shoulder button (or whatever your non xbox option is) depressed and you'll get the passive looking like you're ADS empty handed. Until you find somebody to light up anyway.
