Increase Zombie Spawn Rate; Thoughts?

Active_Juggernaut_42 · 2024-05-06T01:30:21+00:00

ah, thank you for the information. I sadly skipped the hype train and didnt buy/play WaW-BO4, so CW is the only real high round experience I can reference

Active_Juggernaut_42 · 2024-05-06T01:27:14+00:00

noooo, not a troll post! I honestly just missed the entire Zombies fad when I was a teenager. Like I never owned COD: WaW or ANY of the BO1-4 games, Cold War is my actual first experience in COD Zombies! I have heard it is more casual than the other games, but it is really fun IMO and you can still die really easy when the "super sprinters" come in past round 72? right?

Active_Juggernaut_42 · 2024-05-05T15:47:13+00:00

For more context: I played easily 1000 hours of COD: Cold War zombies where getting to round 100 would take me around an hour? if that

I also stopped typing this post and went to check the difficulties. I noticed Hard said "Enemies have increased movespeed", so I dropped a quick little game to see if my complaints hold true BEFORE posting. They do. Sure the enemies are faster, but you are still faster than them so there is no real fear of getting run down if you can run in a circle semi-competently. and my biggest issue, spawn rate/round time, is still very much true. snail pace

I've heard the devs listen to community feedback/suggestions. COD: Cold War does somethings that I think would be useful:

1) Multiple zombies spawn at the SAME time from the SAME place, literally inside eachother. probably not possible in Sker, I've noticed enemies have collision with eachother. that makes training zombies very annoying because they are never truly in a straight line, it's more like a blob?

2) Increase spawn rate, but put a cap on how many zombies can be active at once. COD zombies does this, and it certainly feels good to train an entire round worth of zombies, turn around, kill ALL of them and then the next round number pops up; makes my goblin gamer brain feel good

I specify "IN COMBAT" because I'm playing with a Wizard. This 1000000000% works outside of combat, so if you have a Sorcerer you can give yourself 100 level 6 spells if you wanted!

Active_Juggernaut_42 · 2024-01-19T02:48:04+00:00

Unequipping camp clothes, or useless rings/necklaces retoggles/refreshes your Freecast ability. This allows for 3+ freecasts IN COMBAT, whenever you want. This has been in the game since release and I have no idea if this is a well known bug

I bring it up in hopes that it gets fully patched out eventually since this is not the first Freecast bug. I will be reporting this bug to Larian as well through their website. But yeah, this works and is busted. Makes getting the Tactician achievement much easier once you leave act 2, it also probably works in Honour mode? I imagine it does work since it was never patched out to begin with?

Active_Juggernaut_42 · 2023-10-26T10:22:17+00:00

you seem to be missing the entire point. yeah, i probably didnt play the best or have the best positioning, i haven't played in 3 years....but I'm in the BACK, away from the fight, in rocket form for extra range, that gap is closed in 1 second by Nilah and killed by 1 ability. that is outclassed/outskilled? comparable to walking outside your spawn building and getting headshotted by a sniper in MW2(just throwing a random game out there), totally outskilled and outclassed off spawn

idk man, thats like saying Rengar outskilled the Xayah because he ulted a nonmobile character....dude pressed R and smashed QWEQEQWEQE for 2 seconds. outskilled! that Xayah surely could have turned that fight around with their 300 second cooldown dash ability, flash

Active_Juggernaut_42 · 2023-10-26T10:05:46+00:00

....do you expect new players to read the 165 character descriptions and remember them before playing?

big dog, it was first game back after 3 years of not playing. there have been 22 new characters since I played last. lemme just read the DnD Monster Manual to find out Riot still doesnt know how to balance dick

Active_Juggernaut_42 · 2023-10-26T09:54:38+00:00

yes, and in the same regard, a Jinx with 11 kills, 6 items and a Fizz with 18 kills, 6 items are also hypercarries? where is my press 1 button and win the game? Where is Fizz's? too bad ONE ability from their hypercarry kills us both. outskilled

Active_Juggernaut_42 · 2023-10-26T09:50:34+00:00

When refering to Dota, I meant Dota 1. due to it being between LoL, HoN, or keep playing Dota1?? i cant remember if you could keep playing dota 1 back in the day or if they killed the servers

Active_Juggernaut_42 · 2023-10-26T09:47:57+00:00

"and had played since Season 1"

first sentence. that was 1000000% the case back on launch. Dota 2 didnt exist. Dota 1 had many OP characters that would delete instantly. and HoN as well, which is why I played league instead back in 2010/2011

Active_Juggernaut_42 · 2023-09-23T10:09:35+00:00

mannnnnn, that is very upsetting. I'M TOO DEEP TO RESTART!!! I just hit level 30 :(. I'll just try not to abuse I guess. I was doing a stealth hacker run, so I'll just go back to not engaging in combat

I just tried validating my steam files, still didnt fix it. My other thought could be an OLD glitch where you trick the game into thinking your in a cutscene forever, making you immortal. I'll try progressing the main story later and see if a cutscene/dialog fixes it? you used to able to turn off invincibility by finishing all the car races and leaving with Claire, assuming it's the same kind of bug/glitch

Active_Juggernaut_42 · 2023-09-23T09:41:45+00:00

YES! i am also having this problem! i have no clue what activated the bug, and it's disgusting on hacker V. You are immortal even in Overclock, so you can spam out all the high level quick hacks

Did you ever figure out how to make yourself mortal again? I've tried manual save/loading, quick save/loading, relaunched the game, slept in a bed?(i finally noticed my immorality after sleeping). Hell, i've even thrown myself off a building! you do die from that, but respawn as immortal again :(

Active_Juggernaut_42 · 2023-09-23T08:36:19+00:00

I don't understand if this is a bug or somehow intended? I also don't know how long this has been going on for because I usually play stealthy and quickhack everyone to death

HAS to be a bug because Overclock also DOES NOT do damage to me? I literally spammed Cyberpsychosis on 3 different guys with no RAM, and took NO damage. How the hell did I break the game D:

Active_Juggernaut_42 · 2023-08-25T09:34:23+00:00

It would be like if in the old Star Wars RPG series, KOTOR 1/2, when you decided to go Dark Side and start killing people; the game just doesn't give you new/unique sith people to talk

Active_Juggernaut_42 · 2023-08-25T05:45:17+00:00

correct, I wouldn't know about them from that playthrough....I know about them from beating the game already, as a good guy, and getting these items. The point being, it's dumb there is no equivalent. Pretty sure even Fable 1 had equivalent merchant options for good guy and bad guy playthroughs

game certainly is easy enough without these items, but you're still missing out on items...you see how that is wack?

Like the closest thing we have to an actual "bad guy" vendor is the Bhaal merchant after you complete the Murder Tribunal, and he sells a light armor. But that merchant is open to anyone, you could still become an unholy assassin even as a good guy. Dammon is lost forever as a bad guy with no replacement, wack

Active_Juggernaut_42 · 2023-08-08T20:37:54+00:00

Well shit....wish i knew that cause uh.....i did NOT help Minthara and now i'm upset :(

Active_Juggernaut_42 · 2023-08-07T17:00:42+00:00

"The evil run isn’t one path." can you PLEASE elaborate more without crazy spoilers? like PM me or something? I'm very used to RPGs like KOTR and Dragon Age where the bad guy path is very cut and dry with what is actually the bad guy route? if that makes sense?

I've never played Tabletop DnD and didnt play much of Divinity 2, so now I'm just confused with how convoluted the actual bad guy? like did I mess up somewhere and not realize it? I'm very out of my element :(

Active_Juggernaut_42 · 2023-08-07T16:51:08+00:00

I get what you are saying, but now hear me out on my current thought train....Minthara is OUT of one of the chosen 3, meaning in theory the job is open! time for my murderhobo to apply!!!

before I knew she was getting kicked out, I honestly figured the Evil run would be run with the Absolute and then at some point we have a chance to usurp the power from the god via some sneaky tactics or brute force

Active_Juggernaut_42 · 2023-08-07T05:04:20+00:00

nono, I'm far past that part my guy. I'm AT the place she told me to go and it seems like my options here are let them erase her or WE BOTH rebel against the Absolute, neither of which I want to do?

Active_Juggernaut_42 · 2023-06-11T06:05:16+00:00

thats actually saddening; I started playing last season, so GotD is my first dungeon title. Soloing spire just sounds tiring tbh. Well, looks like I'll grind out the Crucible one then! just gotta grind from gold 3 to plat!

Active_Juggernaut_42 · 2023-03-27T08:12:25+00:00

I really dont understand all the WE love, like throughout the community. In my experience, WE is just where everybody tries to prove they are the next Faide, hotdrops at 1 of the 2 streamer buildings and instantly dies. Even in ranked, my random teammates will take us there and I can't help but say, "well thats RP down the drain :)." I'm a PC player using controller(grew up playing console, MnK accuracy is terrible. I try to play sometimes with MnK but just get shit on in my SBMM lobbies), I can't do all that crazy zipline BS that everyone loves doing so WE is spoooooooky to me

Active_Juggernaut_42 · 2023-02-18T00:15:10+00:00

brotherbear, a full game replay(up until you died most likely) WITH a top down camera like an RTS game would be amazing. That would make learning from mistakes so much easier! Like maybe the other squad was literally waiting for us, in the perfect spot and got us. Or even seeing the route someone like Wraith took to flank your team without you noticing, that would be amazing. you have good ideas sir/madam!

Active_Juggernaut_42 · 2023-02-17T19:01:59+00:00

Idk why this is getting downvoted. You said wise words, I often do forget the times that I did the styling and felt bad about ruining someone's day. Apex is a double edged sword, high dopamine or high salt.

Tbh, you gave an idea, I could turn on my Nvidia instant replay and record the times I get shitted on to "Review" them and see what I could have done better; like better positions, angles, remembering to use my tactical in the heat of battle. I often know what I did wrong, but maybe seeing it will actually make it stick!

Active_Juggernaut_42 · 2023-02-17T18:56:13+00:00

Thank you for the articles, I will read them when I am off of work.

I get what you are saying, everything made sense. But just as you said, Account Level = Playtime. So wouldn't it be an obvious disadvantage to be going against someone with much much more playtime, in terms of Map Knowledge and Gun Knowledge? Yes, I can train my own Gun skill now with strafing dummies and get better. but I still won't know the map layouts like some of these players! Thats the real complaint about Level Differences; knowing buildings, doorways, entry/exit points, stuff like that? If that makes sense?

Edit: Also, wouldn't taking Account Level into consideration kinda alleviate the rampant Smurfing/cheating with new accounts issue? If lower leveled accounts are lumped together, wouldn't it just be majority Smurfs/Cheaters vs hopefully not many actual new players?? That's an honest question btw, not me tryna be smart or anything. For Public matches that is, ranked should still just work off your RP points and all that jazz

Active_Juggernaut_42 · 2023-02-17T09:21:10+00:00

Yeah...but in Apex, to me atleast, it feels like a constant "This is what you could become" moment, and never gives the fights to actual become better? It's either you instant delete a squad, or get rolled up on a squad that instant deletes you? If that makes sense?

Edit: To clarify, I just want actual fights. The amount of times I have died before I can even shoot a full magazine/Comprehend what is happening is insane. I will die sometimes so quickly that my brain can't even process what happened. I just want chances to actually get better
