I would imagine they also agree on terms of compensation before creating the art stuff. I imagine if a community artist felt like they were getting ripped off, they could also just be like "nah brah no deal"

To play devil's advocate, artists are so hard up for work that a lot of them will accept anything to get their name on a big project.

Skulltown should just randomly occur in Arenas, like in mid-match it just switches

Actually in general it would be cool if the map changed every round but I'm assuming loading times or whatever prevent that

I believe Lifeline is from Trinidad

Just catching up with the thread but as someone from Trinidad that is not a Trinidadian accent at all. I thought she was supposed to be from Space Louisiana or something.

Oh I'm not commenting on the accuracy of the accent, but in the lore it specifically mentions Trinidad, or so I thought but looking now it says she's Haitian which makes much more sense

Figure 1: Mario's weird dog
Arenas should b be 3v3v3 and the third team can choose when they appear
The first two teams won't know when or if a third team will even appear in their round
Also the maps should be bigger, perhaps multiple engagements in various areas simultaneously
No buy menu and choosing which part of the map you start on could be cool too idk

It should probably be four teams so that it’s 2v2 and then 1v1.

If it’s 1v1v1 that third team that hides and waits for knocks is gonna win like 99% of the time.

What might be cool is if there’s 20 teams on a big map and people can choose when to engage.

Ah yea that sounds cool. I think adding a feature that kinda forces everyone to get closer together would be neat too.

Patch Notes

Highlights include:
-Huge increase to Rev’s climbing distance. In the dev stream they showed him climbing all the way up the construction site building in Fragment West.
-Lots of arena price changes
-Free Shield Batt after the first two rounds in arenas

If this confused you as much as it did me, that's apparently got something to do with a grenade damage bug, and not a revert of the bleed through change they made a few months ago.

These arena changes are brutal to my pathfinder! I love him for arenas! Also they finally found out about the LSTAR round 1 strat I keep doing! But why did they make the volt more expensive than the r99?

My guess is that while the R99 is probably better at being a smg, the Volt does really well at being an all-around weapon. I know most of my rounds I used the LStar first round and a fully maxed out Volt every round afterwards. In further rounds I'd get a secondary weapon or more batteries/grenades but a Volt was plenty good at almost all arena ranges.

Maybe because the Volt has better iron sights so there's less need to upgrade it?

Cretin90
Apr 10, 2006
For me the only real impacts are no more spitfire round 1 (probably a good change) and my standard rd 1 pick, volt, is more or less unaffected because I sat on the 50 leftover materials.

I can’t believe it took them this long to change the knuckle cluster cost from 150 to 75, that cost was absurdly high.

I will also continue to lean Flatline over r301 since it is now even more of a better value, and anvil receiver flatline absolutely destroys those pesky arena snipers and bow users. TICK (43) TICK (43) TICK (43)

Volt is also better at midrange in my experience, and I think has faster reload?

low key this has helped me salvage so many rounds early on as a dedicated solo arena'er.

I wish the p2020 was auto, I aint clicking that many times that fast for such a meh gun.

I wonder if this will cause some shifts, the r301 is not as prevalent as it was when arenas launched ime

Yeah round 1 3030, especially on phase runner, was just insanely good. You get 1 fully charged shot and a couple more before the other team can even react if you both went through the portal

Kinda thought everybody realized Ash was Dr. Reid at this point, but I guess Dr. Somers hasn’t been privy to all the information the audience has been given.

Also I think this might be the first canon representation of Natalie with her hood off?
