Game runs great and haven't had lag yet. I'm impressed, post launch day 1.

Haven't tried everybody yet and I hate the awkward stage of learning the characters, but I'll keep at it. Dunno how I feel about ammo types taking up inventory space but we'll see.

I don't have online friends or a mic so gently caress whoever gets grouped with me, suckers.

Thought maybe I'd watch a little bit of streaming since I can't play right now. Don't really do that sort of thing. God drat, is Twitch completely loving toxic. Every random streamer I've hopped on is just loving terrible. Maybe I'm just getting old, but ughhhhhhhhhhh

Most big Twitch streamers are genuine assholes who are angry most of the time, with few exceptions. They are always online people, after all.

Also to the people saying that you must drop with your drop master or whatever it's called: You can hold E (I think) to drop independent from your group. I did it so that I could land on a building nearby rather than fight my own team for stuff inside the other building.

My prediction is they will let you buy designer coffins for your character.

Got my first win just now. Did 350 damage and was revived twice. Holla. Winning gives extra exp, no cosmetic credits or anything.

Game ran fine earlier but now the hardware cursor is invisible. Anyone else experience this?

Edit: forgot that borderless window is the only acceptable display mode. Changing from full screen to borderless window fixed it.

Something I noticed was that you cannot jump continuously. If you jump and immediately try jumping again it's like your characters legs are tired and they barely get off the ground. So I can't compensate for my lack of skill by jumping around like an rear end to dodge bullets.

Death of the developer, game is good.

How do I get crafting points? Do I grind up the unlocks I don't want?

You get 15-30 occasionally in a crate. I haven't had much luck so far. It will take dozens of hours to get enough for a good skin.

Idgaf if streamers play the game or not, it's already fun. Although maybe if they sustain the popularity enough they'll make toys to decorate your desk with.

Pathfinder makes for so many good plays. Scorpion Pathfinder, Kamikaze Pathfinder, Tetherball Pathfinder. What a great character, and he's got a great attitude to boot.

Great tips so far in this thread, thanks. Any other advice for someone pretty casual who's yet to win a single round, matching with pubbies? I've ended up second to last group at least a couple of times so far, but that's not hard to achieve if you just camp long enough and avoid every fight. Is there any sort of matching algorithm in place to make sure we newbs don't get put against people poopsocking all day, or not really?

AFAIK there is currently no ranking system or matchmaking algorithm in place. So to answer your first question, sometimes you'll make it to the end of the match and be fortunate enough that your opponent is equally lucky and even worse than you and you shoot the dumb kid for an easy win.

I like the idea of killing someone with better stuff and being rewarded with their better stuff. I also enjoy being a dirty rat scrounger who hides under the couch and picks up the scraps.

... you mean the same cosmetic lootbox mechanic that almost every single other F2P game also employs? Except in Apex they at least bothered to implement bad luck prevention.

like are you actually going on for multiple pages about one lootbox you didn't like? lmao

Should I respond to your post or does this count as me going on for multiple pages? I like this game as much as anybody, it's good, and I made one post saying one box was lame, because it was. If you're gonna respond like a chud you might get a response calling you an idiot, idiot.

Protip: you can powerslide down stairs. :ssh:


I'm fine with losing because it's all I do. :c00lbert:




But it is demoralizing to get 6 matches in a row with some shroud-wannabe who spends the whole match pissing in my ear about how I need to ADS. :rolleye:


How are you getting matched with the same guy over and over?
Since there's no penalty system in place yet, when I get matched with dickheads I just leave the game. A minute later I'm in a game with tolerable teammates. Only did it a few times so far, for the most part people seem chill.
