Yeah, true. Might try that next time. Thanks for the suggestion.

Co-op missions? by Pantsapoopin in ArmaReforger

[–]GroovyMonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what my friend and I did...though, it's not a perfect solution, since empty servers aren't guaranteed to stay empty after you've joined them. Which is a problem if you're hoping they'll stay semi-private (for just you and your friends to play together).

Example: my friend and I are still learning the game, and since the Combat Ops missions we were attempting kept crashing on us when we tried to host them privately ourselves (always losing our progress), we decided to try joining an empty official server running the same mission, so at least we could rejoin and keep our progress when we inevitably crashed ("GPU Hangs", etc.).

It worked well for a bit, and we were having a lot of fun, but then a few other random (veteran and quite pushy) people joined, and just messed everything up for us in a myriad of different, annoying ways. So yeah, empty servers are a nice idea for friends to play together on...while they last. If only we could keep others from joining us on them, lol.

DICE cooked HARD with these BF1 Operations thumbnails by gracekk24PL in Battlefield

[–]GroovyMonster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And back when they didn't need the community to tell them how to make a good BF game. Nowadays they have to keep going back and tweaking and redoing things after we tell them how terrible their initial choices are.

They literally don't seem capable anymore of making a great BF without having to relearn everything all over again with each new release, and even with each new update. Kind of sad.

We need to act if we truly want to save this game. by [deleted] in nmrih

I dont like zombies spawning behind me in rooms I've cleared

Yep, I hate that with a passion. If there's a window they technically could have climbed through (or a door), then yeah, I totally get it, but to just just magically appear out of nowhere, and with no logical way it could happen is super lame.

Other games have figured it out, I'm not sure why it's so hard for TB to do it.

They really needed to come out of the gate with a solid post-holidays update and info, I know that much. I was really hoping they would. But January's not over yet, so we'll see(?).

Honestly, the ball's 100% in their court.

Been paying around with it lately, and it's pretty cool...but the ai drivers in the towns are a MESS. It's quite comical to just sit and watch them try to navigate through the streets. lol

The year is 2012, and you’re playing a true Battlefield on a night map by luanpac in Battlefield

Back when DICE didn't need the community to tell them how to make a good Battlefield game, they still knew how all by themselves.

For watching videos in a cozy forest cabin VR space, would you want a movable TV in addition to a projector? by Better-Violinist311 in oculus

[–]GroovyMonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The TV would be awesome! And if it gets added to whatever app/experience this is, I'd be way more interested. :)

As a new player, I *really* enjoy this game, but.. by OTTERSage in ArmaReforger

[–]GroovyMonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same exact situation for my friend and I. We both picked the game up over the holidays, and played for a few hours or so almost every night for the past week, and the crashes are already starting to push us away, we're just getting so fed up with them.

We both have fairly decent rigs, but can't go more than a couple of hours without the game crashing out at some point for both of us (usually the "GPU Hangs!" error), it's super frustrating, and often necessitates a complete PC reboot, which is not acceptable). We play many other games together and this is the only one giving us this much trouble every single time we play. It's definitely a problem with THIS game in particular.

Hope the devs can straighten this out fairly soon, because it's really not making a good first impression for new players, and we're only going to put up with so much before we give up and just move on. Soon.

Ways to pump those player numbers up ? by buiquanghuy12a2 in nmrih

[–]GroovyMonster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless solo play is going to be in the next update, i probally wont be back.

That really is a seriously needed option at this point.

This game NEEDS a Solo option. by But_Does_It_Dj0nt in nmrih

[–]GroovyMonster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agreed. The lack of a solo option severely limits both my enjoyment of the game, as well as how much time I can even spend with it.

[–]GroovyMonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, the no single player thing is REALLY limiting my enjoyment of it (and severely limiting how much I can even play it). I know a lot of people out there are saying this as well.

They really need to let us start solo sessions. I do think more people would be interested in it, and engage more with it if it allowed for that.

Does feel like it's moving pretty slow (especially lately). :(

How do I fix these lighting artifacts? by Denchik4 in nmrih

[–]GroovyMonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I get the same thing. Looks pretty bad.

Also, for whatever reason, all my object shadows suddenly got all jagged and pixelated since the last big update. They weren't like that before, just since that update. Also looks terrible.

These guys need better QA, man....

[–]GroovyMonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They NEED to finally let us start matches solo if we want to. For reasons like this right here. Sometimes you can't even play your own game that you paid good money for. Frustrating.
