just found out the circle can end on mirage voyage and that's pretty great (may have felt different if I hadn't won)

need big brain griefing strats

the rest of my team left so I kept poking the team that killed them above and around capacitor, using the labs portal a few times to escape. They eventually tried chasing me out of the labs portal and into the ring, where their gibby chased the hardest but still couldn't catch up or kill me (horizon) until he had to bail because his team was in a fight. Ran all the way around capacitor again, took the labs portal, and caught up to at watch at least 4 other teams descend on their fight at Hydro Dam. Watched from afar and poked a bunch to anyone who was in my view until eventually it looked like the team I was originally griefing won.

Then I killed their last person standing.

I didnt mind the first flare mode but this one is pretty bad, and the sound effects just make the whole thing extra dreadful. I hope the patch tomorrow fixes the sound and brings a better takeover

I wish the green boxes for someone respawning left at least a battery or something with the other items. If youre barely scraping by as is and eke by a team it’d be nice to get somewhat close to full before they drop again.

at the risk of it being spammed, it would be nice if there was a voice line or something to your teammates about your q/ult being on CD when you try to use it like there is with health items.

sweet I won a game and less than 30s later the last person I killed joined my stream chat to call me a pussy. I wish they had been streaming (they advertised it in their name even!) so I could see why they were so riled up and also had white armor in the last round

unless i’m working on a challenge round 2 and on I almost always buy a 301. Occasionally I’ll pair it with a sent or an eva, but I mostly just try to get it with a 3X and buy out batteries/arcs

Usually no one even bothers to contest it, but I had a game on wrecked ship the other day where me and the enemy bangalore then eventually whole enemy team made a game over rushing the center material canister. No canisters in sudden death tho so we had to win the regular way

I think that’s only true on wrecked ship? On phase runner/thermal station you at least then need to also get 1 of the mats from the side the enemy team rushed. Otherwise you both got the same amount of mats & a bin except they have the circle/height

Has anyone playing on Steam received their background for watching a twitch stream yet? My inventory page on twitch (which I just learned existed) shows I've claimed it & that my accounts are linked, but I don't see it in game.

there was a lot of talk about a pve event for this season, hinted at with the infected ships and all that, but i haven't heard a peep in weeks

In the comics theyre about to go hunt for spiders or something, my first thought was they would make a PVE event for it.

I’m guessing it’ll just end up being a couple dramatic panels with sound effects, though.

Which reminds me, what are the circumstances where a kill is awarded when another person does die to the ring/fall off the map? I gather it's because I for instance was the last person who dealt damage to them, but it doesn't always happen. I think I've heard if the person heals (at all? To full?) after they were shot and then died to the ring/fall, it ends up as a suicide instead. It might be a timer like assists, but I swear I've been awarded kills from someone outside the ring well after what that should be (unless it used to be different).

I wonder if console players prefer arenas since there is little to no looting or inventory management to slow them down. Also no third parties requiring a slow turning 360 to the person shooting at your back.

Arenas just isn't as interesting to me as BR, but if the map is good I'm ok with it as an occasional change of pace. Overflow I very much hate, but the originals & Olympus aren't that bad. The biggest problem I have with Olympus is I lost a round one time because off to the side the circle can finish on top of the bridge over the stairs, and the people on top will lose because there is a sculpture in the way of the closing final ring.

isn't it also where all the try hards would gently caress off from their teammate and drop solo (at least before no fill)
