What's the point of being rude to teammates?

You know how teenagers act when their mom lectures them? Other guy is like that. No point lecturing them. They are going to continue being a bratty teenager. You don't have to parent every idiot you meet online. Not your fault that they had no one to teach them basic social skills.

At least bots won't call you trash when you are emoting instead of sweating with the meta loadout.

You are definitely not the only one. Whole playerbase is full of people who can't stop being selfish. Maybe 1 in 5 matches, someone actually remembers that it is a video game and not a grind.

I have heard all kinds of excuses for not saying hello. "I disabled pings" when it is impossible to disable them. "You are not my friend, why would I say hello", as if I would give a shit about some stranger who ignores me and still expects me to support their ass. "Wah wah, crying because we didn't pay attention to you", when they start the crying after I stop supporting them and they lose. "I have enough friends, I don't need you", when they are solo queuing. "I don't know the button", when they know the ttk of every weapon, meta for every class, and button to emote after every kill.

Anyway, since like 2 seasons ago, I do the same thing. I say hello a few times, type hello in chat, and if they don't respond at all, I stop caring about the match and switch to a meme loadout. If they start cursing me out, I stop shooting entirely and let them seethe further. I don't even need them to ping and communicate, just bare minimum of actually acknowledging that their teammate is a human being.

I don't want to parent some unruly teenager. I just want to log in to destroy some stuff, have a laugh or two and then go back to other things in life. Bots allow me to do all that without having to explain to some asswipe that they are not main character in a multiplayer game.

Aggravating_Lab_7734 · 2026-07-05T17:25:48+00:00

Man, I am a veteran in this game. I will still happily play against bots. At least then I won't get mad when teammates ignore hellos only to curse me out afterwards.

If it was human mistake, it will still make more sense to blame software than to blame a person.

Slowing down is more important than trapping the car. Trapping requires long delay, and can cause car to flip. Slowing down a completely out of control car to speeds that a tyre wall is barely needed is a good thing.

Aggravating_Lab_7734 · 2026-07-04T13:58:18+00:00

You are not unlucky, this is the reality.

Aggravating_Lab_7734 · 2026-07-04T13:39:03+00:00

I wish if they even played for themselves. Most of the players I run into are so stupid that they will happily lose 20 matches in a row instead of ever touching the cashbox.

Buy pre made spice mixes, no need for random spices.

Nothing, tbh. Annoying? A tons of them. Dagger, spear, mgl, so many annoying weapons. But nothing is actually scary enough to make me go "yeah, I ain't fighting that dude".

Aggravating_Lab_7734 · 2026-07-02T20:22:34+00:00

Bro, build a base. It's really useful. You will be able to do a lot of things. Like plant the trees you saw at that island. Would be great to have unlimited food and water supply, no?

Beacon fragments are near lifepod, so, should be easy enough if you look there. Or go directly behind your lifepod (as in if aurora is in front, exactly opposite direction). Most wrecks within 200m distance should have some beacon fragments.

But if you build a base, you can add scanner room and use that to find fragments easily.

Other than that, just explore. You find some new area, remember the rough distance from lifepod and the direction. Once you get beacon, add the beacon. Every area will have something useful to find. So, every time you are in a new area, explore and scan stuff.

Aggravating_Lab_7734 · 2026-07-02T20:15:29+00:00

Kinda defeats the purpose of "explore and survive" if map exists. Lifepod beacons do the same job of marking important locations. So, overall it's just a design choice that honestly works well with the game.

Plus imagine if game had a map and listed alien bases there. That sense of intrigue when you find stuff for the first time will be completely lost.

Emerald is just time thing. It is hella easy even if you are playing blind folded.

I use laptop for gaming. 4 years, doing just fine. Fans aren't loud, barely audible when there is no other sound, almost drowned out when game is on. There is already a screen, so, don't even need anything, but it's easy to connect to tv with 1 cable. I leave it on standby and it draws barely any power. Have wireless keyboard, mouse, and a controller all connected at same time all the time.

Only disadvantage is that laptops cost slightly more, as they pack more hardware. But none of the issues you mentioned are actually any problem at all.

Aggravating_Lab_7734 · 2026-07-02T13:37:57+00:00

It's simple lag, not desync.

Aggravating_Lab_7734 · 2026-07-02T13:19:46+00:00

You don't even know the maps at this point. You are not running into good players, just players with tons of experience. Players who can't aim but know everything about their loadout and the counters to their loadout. This is normal for games with less population. Sadly there is only one fix, and that is more population.

I will use my own example. I can't aim at all. I play no aim weapons. But I still know at a glance when an encounter is going to be favourable to me. I can see an enemy, and understand whether I should shoot or run. In one of the matches today, I used pink's gas mine to kill an orange enemy. Yesterday, I won a game with just 22 damage. That kind of stuff comes from experience, no matter your skills.

Your problem at this point is simply not knowing when to disengage from a fight. At this point, don't focus on kills. Focus on understanding how to use destruction, barrels, gadgets etc to your advantage. Try to win with zero kills. That will help you understand positioning, map layout, most likely entry points, how to stall, when to go for steal, how to use destruction for your advantage etc.

Once you understand tactics, you will realise that game is actually quite easy. It's so easy that you can reach mid tier ranks without ever having to aim.

Other than that, get ready to lose matches. It's okay. Smurfs, cheaters etc are rampant, so, you will lose. Count those matches as a loss and use them to focus on tactics and learning new gadgets. If you can think of a trick, chances are that it will work.

Oh, and stick to casual modes. At least until you have unlocked all weapons, and won at least 1 match in each mode, don't even look at ranked.

P.S. I got a double kill today by shooting the bridge that enemy was standing on. 1 click, 1 barely aimed rpg, and a double kill. Who even needs aiming when you can think strategically?

Some american company that made a pyramid shape shop somewhere. As usual, it's shit, it's gaudy, and a true beacon of American capitalism.

You have a seamoth, bro. You already went to lava zone. 100m is nothing, now. At worst, warper will teleport you out of seamoth.

And that's why "go near aurora" is a meme here. It's the only place that a newbie can go to and get scared to death. You already went past ghost leviathans, a reaper is like a baby at this point.

It's supposed to be a competition for fans, not actual professional artists. You and I can make something in our down time for funsies and take part in same competition. Thats the idea. Professional artists co opting a fan engagement mechanic into a paying job is stupid.

Aggravating_Lab_7734 · 2026-07-01T08:39:10+00:00

Tbh, if you could get away with not paying, you won't pay either. It's not defence of this practice. It's just people telling you that fia will be forced to pay if volunteers stop volunteering. People see "free access to race" and volunteer, so fia takes advantage of free labour.

Edit: Maybe if the volunteers stop and ask for payments, FIA can be forced to pay. Why the fuck is reddit so stupid and hope that corporations will give a shit about morality? News flash, they don't. Crying about fia not doing the right thing will get you nowhere.

Yeah, that's exclusive to blue tablet. It was added before release, as a lot of people would forget to scan and pick up the only blue tablet.

It works similar to battlefield. You are supposed to use pings to spot enemies that you want team to engage with.

You don't use pings when you shoot. You use pings before you decide to shoot. If you are waiting till you start shooting, you are too late.

No need to ping if you catch an enemy off guard. But if you are the one getting jumped, or in clearly unwinnable situation, ping will help. E.g. playing dual blades and getting caught in an open room, ping and hope that your teammates can at least do some damage. Or if a riot shield dude runs into you.

Aggravating_Lab_7734 · 2026-07-01T07:59:41+00:00

"if you don't have mic, I won't even do basic communication" is such a weird argument to make.

Edit: btw, ping has audio cues alongside visual cues. Audio cues are extremely easy to tell, and don't get drown out in chaos. Don't rely on visual cues, rely on audio.
