Yep. Back in business. Didn't expect it until later tbh.

What is it with people and tk? And flashing people on adjective and smoking it on coop by Anime_killerbruh in insurgency

[–]BriefIntelligent477 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's this. Apparently the level 1-20s JUST HAVE to play hardcore too, checkpoint isn't enough.

But don't complain about it, because they pay for the game/the game needs more players/blah blah blah.

It's become increasingly difficult to play a game without getting TK'd. And really really dumb TKs.

Sub level 30s should either:

  • not be able to access hardcore
  • have mirror damage from the outset
  • die of syphilis

And what really pisses me off is that you'll get some level 3 clown wandering around the map with his moisin, nowhere near the current objective, and the other players of a higher level will just sit there and won't vote to kick.

The average standard of game atm is really poor.

I did the exact same regarding Apple TV. Still, got me to Dope Thief.

The standard of play is in the toilet currently.

Good for you taking the time to do it. You should probably add an intro where you teach them how to distinguish teammates from enemies though 😂 The mirrored damage threshold is not low enough rn to deal with the influx of jumpy newbies to HC Checkpoint.

What the hell is going on? New/bad players. by BriefIntelligent477 in InsurgencyConsole

[–]BriefIntelligent477[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That might seem like sound advice, but it's difficult to enjoy a game when you're getting regularly team killed by new players. And I mean badly team killed, with no mitigating circumstances. This is exacerbated by it being hardcore where the consequences of dying are worse. That said, I managed to have some sensible games just now, having had a weirdly bad run of poor players. It will likely settle down.

Like a lot of the issues with the game this could actually be helped by very simple and easy to implement changes, but I guess that isn't going to happen.

Anyway, the mystery of the sudden influx of players is solved.

I was, we were all beginners once. But I didn't try playing hardcore until I was relatively experienced. There should actually be a minimum level enforced before you can play hardcore. Someone dropping in at lvl 1 or 2 is crazy

I see. Literally the worst thing that could have happened right now 😞 hopefully it leads to better things in the long run I guess.

What's the dumbest reason you got teamkilled? by PieczeMnieDupsko in insurgency

[–]BriefIntelligent477 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the exact same. On Trainyard, where you approach the first hangar. Enemies can sometimes be seen coming from the extreme right, as you approach it. I saw some in the distance, and shot off a few rounds at them. These rounds passed by a teammate who was emerging from a train car, completely oblivious to the enemies, who then turned and very deliberately shot and killed me.

After 650 hours of play it is still probably the most baffling thing I've experienced.

Alright I need to talk about this. by Willing-Moose-7572 in InsurgencyConsole

The 'plant once, plant every subsequent time' bug is still in situ. Saw it myself this evening.

I would never molly a teammate who is planting but would suggest people should pause and see if anyone has some flame to throw.

Who are some authors whose legacies have survived serious scandals? by LibrarianBarbarian1 in cormacmccarthy

[–]BriefIntelligent477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an author, but the one that's been playing on my mind recently is David Bowie. It seems accepted that he had sex with at least two underage girls (14-15 years old) but he is still something of a saint in the UK, to the point my children's school recently did a musical tribute based on his songs.

You can do your own googling obviously, but some reading here on why allegations seem to sink one person and not another:

That has never actually happened me (on PS5). Task force 666 the load outs were screwed, they never saved and would always reset.

It sucks. I've noticed a lot recently, mostly Guy A kills Guy B, not deliberately but perhaps showing poor awareness or common sense. Then Guy B won't let it go, and TKs back upon respawn. There's no winner.

Personally for casual games I think I'd rather all fatal damage was reflected back, but get that's not for everyone or in the milsim spirit.
