I honestly don't think Loba would be busted if her tactical was literally a point and click instant teleport. Everything else in her kit is good in a strategic sense, but not fight-changing.

Just make it act like a translocator grenade. Idk why they don't, it already has a 30s cooldown. If they dont want it to be a free escape then they can just put a delay on when you can teleport to it.

I know it's to make melee even remotely viable, but it's dumb that punching someone in the face does more damage than shooting them with most of the weapons in the game.

In the long run, it doesn't. Unless youre talking about a 2 second windup punch doing more damage than 1 bullet fired from a gun that can spit out 10+ in less than a second.

instead of all these convoluted solutions they should just fix the problem and make leaving early count as a loss

Nah they should randomly dc someone on the other team if one of your players dcs

I would love to be randomly punished because someone else has a bad connection.

Dont worry, it will have a cascading effect: someone on the other team will get dced because of your dc, then another one of your teammates will be dced, and so on.

This means we'll have a fragment/Capital City arena eventually :v:

Arenas are great until I get Skulltown Arena, play rooftop rush for 30 minutes, then realize that TF2 exists.

I mean if Arenas is on Skulltown just pick Valkyrie or Revenant

Its still all revolves around those 3 rooftops. Skulltown is great for hot drops when you have to run through the buildings for weapons, not so much when everyone already has a loadout.

"Advanced" movement mechanics are just clever ways to exploit quirks in the implementation of the intended movement mechanics. They are bugs, not features.

I hope they remove wall jumps and bunny hops next.

Wall jumps? Really? I don't even think those are unintentional.

Dyz

Adding the jump buffer* from things like quake live would help a lot.

*All a jump buffer does is give you a much bigger window to jump after hitting the jump key. That way you wouldnt need a mouse wheel to bounce off walls or bunny hop.

I have no idea how you would make BRs not revolve around third partying without some kind of lockout gates or something. It's almost like there's a mode that guarantees you only ever fight one other team in a single POI at a time :smug:

PUBG did it well. If you wanted to roll around 3rd partying people you had to drive around in a loud car people could hear before they could see.

So find some way to make it so the faster you go, the louder you are.

Break fragment into pieces with some giant mountain ranges. Maybe borrow some from the ones blocking Fragment off from the southern part of the map.

I think they were planning on making them a permanent addition to the game (there's a lot of unused ring flare voice lines in game data), but the initial reaction was so negative they scrapped those plans.

Speaking of which whatever happened to those other ring gimmick modes they shelved after loving up the ring flare event? Still want to play the fast ring closing mode

More importantly when is Armed and Dangerous coming back.

The good thing about a lot of buildings in this game is they have multiple entrances/angles. And the ones where someone can hold all of the entrances and angles are usually small enough that a good grenade/ability will flush them out or do big damage.

Didnt Respawn say they got rid of wallrunning because it made characters too mobile or something?

All this Caustic talk is just a distraction from the fact they still havent touched Gibby, the most broken legend.

I for one am glad that punch boosting is gone. I'm all for movement techniques but 180ing and punching the ground after a slide jump is an incredibly stupid way to do it.

Is the 90 degree turn with passive air control or do you still have to bind jump to the scroll wheel?

While Mirage and Gibraltar have some pretty good revives, Lifeline has hands-off revives and can fight while her meatshields get back up and the enemy just might not have enough ammo for everyone.

This. Lifelines revives are probably the strongest part of her kit, the supply drop being the weakest. Would be nice if it worked like the blue pills where lifeline could open up compartments with healing items and maybe even ammo instead of how it works now.

The only thing that I can see wrong with multiple drops is getting a bad path while other people get good ones. But Id rather have that than 2/3rds of the server concentrated on one side of the map.

Instead they could just make the default iron sights merely adequate and remove 1X sights from the already crowded loot pool. Better yet, just integrate sights into guns based on your preference and eliminate the need for sight drops entirely as having to hunt around for sights isn't an interesting mechanic.

They could just have the digital threat vision be an attachment you put into your existing scope and that would be enough.

I just wish I could put a dot in the middle of the hipfire reticle :(

Remember back when you occasionally caught a glimpse of the match set up when everybody was lined up in Repulsor? That was funny.



The bug where everyone’s dive trail and and sounds are active as soon as the match starts is another good example of a “secret” workaround. It shows that we’re normally all clumped in a big invisible ball under the dropship.

Just make World's Edge a giant donut with the lava filled crater of where Fragment used to be as the center.

Like I do enjoy this game since I got into it but goddamn do a lot of things try their best to make me not like the game even as a newer player. Fragment's existence, Skill Based Matchmaking being either non-existent or so broken as to basically not be, The Wall being a really terrible Gun Run map.

Also Valkyrie's voice. Okay this one is purely personal but something about her specific brand of smarmy rear end in a top hat just grates me to no end where everyone else I can just roll with it. I can't explain it.

Theu need to *actually* fragment it into pieces by running a few giant impassable mountains through the center of it instead of the lava pits. The fact that its so open and in the middle of the map makes it stupidly safe to drop in from a rotation standpoint too.

Make the train extremely fast and have it drive through fragment, killing people on impact

This but it explodes and kills everyone in fragment, 1 minute after game start.
