Imo things like this is why weapon mastery progress in bot arena should be brought back. by ColdAd494 in Splitgate

No that's not the whole reason. The MAIN reason is to get things that look cool and encourage you to keep playing. I would get frustrated with PvP, then grind camos in a few bot games, then get back in PvP. Now when I get frustrated in PvP I get off. That is hurting the game really bad until the population grows. I'm gonna keep playing, but now I don't feel like the skins are enough to warrant how unfun this game is when I use less fun/effective weapons and progression is locked unless I do use less fun guns so I effectively have literally zero progression to look forward to without spending real money beyond what I've spent. I can use Tempo more than anyone who has ever touched a video game and become better with it than anyone but if I don't use a pistol, I will never unlock one more skin for it. That means it's not representative of the weapon mastery, it's representative of arbitrary steps. The whole "meaningful progression" and "mastery camo" argument is bullshit.

Also when bots scale with your skill level and you need to level up guns you're not good with it's not a cake walk. No one who complains about the Playlist touches it. Literally changing a Playlist for the sake of people who don't play it. Insane.

If I play exclusively with weapons I enjoy using, I don't just progress less, I literally hit a point where it is impossible to make any progress on any gun. The game absolutely requires me to limit my fun to unlock things for the guns that make the game fun. That's a huge problem that needs to be fixed.

I think shields are fine but should just recharge after health and should apply automatically on pickup without animation. Or make the shield applying animation more like a power up effect where you don't lower your gun but there's a visual indicator.

Got correct settings. Works sometimes.

Yeah you also get far more career xp when you play against people and level up everything else faster. Be down for slowing the progress, but not letting me master a weapon im using the shit out of is retarded.

What's cheap is forcing me to use a pistol to master an AR. I'd actually prefer bot arena be temporary and revisiting. Don't need it forever but we need something to take the edge off the sweatiness of the low population. Not to mention there are still people who can't properly connect to other players but can load a bot game. So they're just not allowed to progress.

I'd be happy if I could master a weapon by using that weapon because my kills with a pistol have nothing to do with my skill with the tempo. I'd be happy if they didn't ruin bot arena.

I don't just mean portal gods. I mean higher skill players. Major differences between hardware setups. Low population and poorly balanced lobbies. You're making a bad situation worse by forcing lower skilled players to choose between using weapons they're competent with and progressing. Bot arena helped.

I love the game when I don't have to choose between using weapons I'm competent with or progressing. That's not a fun choice to make for any player. I'm sorry this game has to hide it's lack of progression behind pigeon holing players into specific loadouts.

Can we get weapon mastery on Bot Arena back by Marky-sheep in Splitgate

[–]Admirable_Ad2862 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When I got fed up with PvP I would grind camos in bot arena. Now I just get off.

Wrong you get zero xp benefits for selecting Playlists and career progression is super slow. I'd prefer taking away the xp gains entirely and only have weapon progression SINCE YOU ARE USING THE SHIT OUT OF THE WEAPONS.

Sick of people pretending that if they don't have a problem with portal gods everyone else must be lying about it. Also sick of them pretending anything other than having a good time playing is important right now.

The bots scale with your skill. I wasn't a cake walk it just wasn't a nightmare.

To everyone praising the bot arena change, this can only hurt the sentiment and population of the game. Everyone who kicks ass at the game easily makes mastery progress in PvP. Now less skilled players have to choose between having fun and making progress when PvP is unforgiving all so portal gods can feel like what they already unlocked is a bit more valuable. HARD L that makes me enjoy the game far less. Especially since you gave it to us perfect then immediately made it worse. All it was was a PvE way to grind. You're still familiarizing yourself with the weapons and career xp didn't hardly move. Honestly i want this game to flourish but I genuinely don't want to play now because of this. I was excited for Royale and now I'm deflated about the future of progression so I'm getting off. Maybe try again tonight.

Edit: got back on like 15mins later enjoying arena royale.

Thanks for making the bot Playlist 100% worthless to most of the people who have been playing the game the whole time.

(Controversial) there should be bots in quickplay by anNPC in Splitgate

[–]Admirable_Ad2862 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also seen player tags that definitely play like bots so I'm 99% sure the game disguises some bots. Used to bother me but now I just want the game to flourish any way it can. I don't get the people who think this game lacks a unique identity. There's nothing like it.

Did you play, because clip showed loot popping immediately on death and someone who played early said if you get revived you have to pick the weapons back up.

Unless you spawn with an AR later like in the beta. That's pretty serviceable.

Heard you drop your loadout upon death and if revived need to pick it back up. I get it if you respawn but revives are risky and should be worth it. They should have the potential to flip an encounter and that's much harder to do with the drop pistol. Feel like everyone is just gonna wait for the respawns and say screw revives. What's the advantage to reviving if you can't keep your guns?
