When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

It's very, very easy to tell when a non-Australian tries to do one of our accents so I was sure Fuse's VA was actually Australian the first time I heard him, even if he was turning it up a bit. I also would be astounded if they didn't let him ad-lib some of those lines as I can't imagine anyone who isn't very familiar with Australian-isms could have come up with some of them (like "That's a prezzie for Fuzie").

I'm pretty sure I heard him say 'How's the serenity?' on a drop once but when I went back and checked his emote wheel I couldn't see that line.

Honestly I'm amazed the developers let people disrespect dibs. You could just make it prevent teammates from picking up the item for 30 seconds unless you were downed or dead in that timeframe. Would it cause problems in rare cases? Yes absolutely. Would it solve this sort of thing? Almost 100%.

He definitely does say that, I just heard it. It's not an emote, it plays when you drop from the ship as jump master.

I feel like the second someone pings trials you know you’re hosed. One time I had a couple idiots ping it, hoover up all the loot to the point where I couldn’t even fully repair my health/ shield nor did I have much ammo, and then the second we had to fight someone in Skyhook both idiots went down and I just quit out.

As for dibs, I generally respect it but if I’m right next to the thing you dibs and I need it, I’m taking it.

All this would do is force people to wait 30 seconds to pick up the stuff the other guy dibs'd. Also pretty sure that Mr. Dibs Everything would get the same treatment as Mr. Racial Slurs - his teammates just flat ignore or quit on him.

I've had a guy do that and we both just quit out on the dude. We had a goon waiting anyway and I'm certainly not gonna pretend to be polite if they're not :v:

Like a television
tuned to a dead channel.
By beautiful happenstance, I happened to get my new pc up and running the first day of this new season.
And after a rough first day getting used to mouse and keyboard it's been going mostly well!



Of course after a few games like that I've suddenly been thrown into pred lobbies.
Seriously though, I went from games where half of the people I'm shooting at just stand still to being teamed up with people with masters trails.
I'm not even level 20 yet! :cry:

And while I'm not holding my breath, I am hoping for cross progress at some point, I miss my obnoxious Horizon cyberpunk skin (and having Horizon for that matter...)

I like how big King's Canyon is, and because of its large size it actually makes the first 1-2 rings pretty relevant. On Olympus you can easily ignore the first ring with zero impact on gameplay flow.

That hillside base next to Containment though is the biggest goddamn trap in the entire game. Every time I've gone there I've ended up wiped. It SEEMS defensible but you're super vulnerable from both below and above, and I suspect there's something going on with the acoustics there because I've never not seen a third+ squad show up after some fighting there.

Oh man the rage I received when I took the r99 out of a dudes death box after I broke his shields and did 90 damage only for him to put one bullet into him because it was apparently his kill.

I loving hate it when you spend the whole game scrounging for ammo because you use it all wiping whole squads, only for your teammates to rush in and pick the deathboxes clean while you heal up.

You can shield swap off a death box, grab some ammo and loot, then switch back to your shield to heal it assuming it's better than the one you grabbed.

I like that pinging ammo requests now shows you how much existing ammo you have. if you wanted to be real greedy you can drop all the ammo you're requesting, send a ping so it says "0", then pick it back up :getin:

Pretty certain it's the smallest map in the game. I think KC is fine in games where the talent level is mediocre but if you get an above average lobby it's just non-stop third party legends with a rev ulted caustic throwing gas at you if you win a fight. You can hear gunshots across practically the entire map, there's balloons everywhere, and there's just a ton of open areas which makes the griefing that much worse.

Olympus is huge but half the squads instantly die off rip at estates/gardens/towers and then after that the entire server decides to fight at Hammond Labs/Energy Grid. Which means if you don't hot drop or fight in the one area of the map where everyone fights, you'll probably be pretty bored and almost certainly be in the top 4.

I dunno about "most". I've already had several matches where I requested ammo like 7 times, having zero ammo, and both my teammates having plenty of it.

I think part of the problem might be that most people don't know you can drop 20 ammo with X rather than dropping the whole stack. I have to assume lots of pubbies don't know that.

KC was definitely the smallest map last season. It’s a little bigger this season but WE is probably the best map for not getting third parties all the time because Olympus has vehicles which make the pacing of the game faster.

Really? I feel like I'm always having to haul rear end to get to the next ring on KC, whereas in Olympus I basically never thought about the ring ever.

I think part of it is Olympus is really flat whereas in KC you always have to weave around various mountains.
