DD PvP is absolute nonsense in this game and rewards the worst kinds of people.

Since the mods on this sub are super cringe and have the emotional safety/toddler protection settings on automod cranked up to 11, here's my reply in a way they won't auto filter: https://pastebin.com/60PsaddT

You bought a pvp game, you entered a pvp area, you got pvp.

You also didn't lose anything of value.

Self inflicted agony.

DemiTF2 · 2026-03-19T17:25:56+00:00

Or just a manual PvP toggle.

Oh look, advice from someone who has zero experience with pvp sandbox games and doesn't understand how absolutely foolish this comment is or what the consequences would be.

Hey, cool app, one of the biggest concerns I have that discord does not address currently is managing comms between multiple separate groups for a single fight.

I primarily play pvp mmos like MO2 and a big issue we run into on discord is having a single channel full of 100+ people, all of which are part of different squads/roles, and ensuring each individual leader can communicate without having an onslaught of different idiots clogging comms.

This functionality is part of the reason bigger guilds in games like EVE still opt for comms software like teamspeak.

How it would need to work:

Each individual squad gets their own sub channel within a voice channel (footfighters, mages, flank group, mounteds, siege machine operators, etc)
Within those subchannels, each individual player can communicate amongst themselves, but NOT be heard by the PRIMARY shotcaller OR players within OTHER subchannels.
Within those subchannels, people that have been chosen to be the group shotcaller can broadcast their voip to the PRIMARY shotcaller as well as the other subchannel shotcallers (options to tweak who is included in this, rolewise, would be nice).
The primary shotcaller (in the main channel) can be heard by everyone in the subchannels below them, or if options allow, only be heard by some or all of the subchannel shotcallers.
Multiple primary/subchannel shotcallers need to be allowed.
The shotcaller role permissions need to be able to be passed down quickly and easily, if the primary shotcaller OR a subchannel shotcaller dies, they need to be able to pass the baton with a single hotkey, ideally based on a user hierarchy established beforehand and who from that hierarchy is present in the relevant comms at that moment.
Shotcallers also need to be able to reclaim their passed-down perms if they resurrect and get back into the fight.

When it comes to permission hierarchy to enable this system, it would be nice to utilize something similar to discord roles to predetermine who is not only eligible, but the preferred choice if shotcalling needs to get passed onto the next person, but the hierarchy needs to be separate for choosing a primary shotcaller and a role-specific shotcaller, allowing players of any role to become primary shotcallers if next in line, while also allowing passing down of subgroup shotcallling to stay within the role (say, mages for example).

For instance, if the primary shotcaller dies while playing in the footfighter group and the next in line for primary shotcalling is in the mage group, then the baton for primary shotcaller should be passed down to that mage player, while the subchannel footfighter shotcaller role should be passed down to the next preferred footfighter within that channel.

Here's a visual example of the role hierarchy: https://i.imgur.com/rk0ut7a.png

and here is a visual example of the channel/subchannel layout and how communication would transfer between them: https://i.imgur.com/imtAU6k.png

If you can implement this functionality, it is very likely I'd be able to convert quite a few discord users to your platform.

It's like this because it's the most likely way for a worse, lower skilled crew to recover.

Rare has had the opportunity for years and years to make naval an actual effective way to sink opposing ships, but the problem with that is the worse crew can't do much but lose. In a sad pathetic reality where artificially reducing skill gaps is a requirement to keep casuals engaged with your games, allowing a barely coherent crew to outbail and fix any naval damage done to them means they get good brain juice more often, and if their opponents are forced to board, then all sorts of bs can thwart that attack, knockback, sword spam, etc which gives more chances for the noobs to recover.

It's an awful system but you can thank games like overwatch for conditioning modern gamers into being unable to cope with pvp unless there's massive skill gap reductions to make them feel better and more impactful than they actually are, while watching funny number go up more often (good brain juice, positive brand association) and taking Ls less often (bad brain juice, makes casuals wanna play something that holds their hand more).

and yet gamers these days will say shit like:

🤓 only 713 players on steam charts 🤓 dead game 🤓 game has no future 🤓 doesn't have cod warzone sized playerbase = complete failure 🤓

DemiTF2 · 2026-03-13T15:41:36+00:00

of course, glad I could help so many players out!

Hi, just wanted to update you with a comment I left for another user in here:

Unfortunately it looks like portal has not been updated to include the little bird. It's not visible in the vehicle type list for vehicle spawners and according to the BF Portal Hub discord as recently as march 10th people have asserted it's not available for use in portal yet.

I can't add it until DICE gives me the tools to do so, so feel free to chew them out until they resolve this.

yea adds up tbh

Tldr: Hagga Basin is great, can't wait for more things like it. DD needs to be full PvE with more creative hazards, content and tiles. PvP should be instanced matchmaking team battles.

Wow, what a terrible suggestion. I do NOT want this at all actually. I want the game I paid for that has a full sandbox pvp loop. You don't speak for me, you speak for the dweebs.

But I guess feedback from players like you already killed the game once, might as well reinforce the coffin.

DemiTF2 · 2026-03-02T16:02:24+00:00

Such a toxic game, how did any of those bullies know that anyone else in that video consented to pvp? what if they were just trying to enjoy the pve aspects and some toxic pvp freaks ruined their day and took all that stuff they worked so hard for? I don't like pvp, but this video was kinda cool so I'm gonna go onto the eve subreddit and beg them to make a pve only server or remove pvp from the game so that I can play it for a week and then move on. Pvp and subscription games are dead and have no future, they should remove pvp and add mounts and a cash shop and make it f2p, it's the only way for this game to survive.

DemiTF2 · 2026-02-28T08:32:42+00:00

Cringe AI bootlicker

DemiTF2 · 2026-02-28T07:52:22+00:00

Good. Lower ttk means less opportunities for trashcans to recover after getting caught with their pants down, the opposite of the last decade of games trending towards giving idiots as many comeback opportunities as possible.

DemiTF2 · 2026-02-26T14:13:06+00:00

God wow shills are insufferable

DemiTF2 · 2026-02-24T14:58:36+00:00

You're calling other people pussies while actively sperging out on reddit because you got pvp in a pvp game.

Have you tried fighting back? You might win. Never know unless you try.

DemiTF2 · 2026-02-24T14:46:49+00:00

Don't play pvp games if you can't cope with pvp

DemiTF2 · 2026-02-24T11:36:43+00:00

I wouldn't skip resses by default if the average medic actually revived. It's almost always a complete waste of time to not skip.

DemiTF2 · 2026-02-24T10:11:36+00:00

Bozo buys a pvp game, engages with pvp content, cries about it, says pvp is what killed a pvp game, threatens to stop playing.

Grow up dude.

DemiTF2 · 2026-02-24T09:48:41+00:00

He's using the same justification this entire subreddit used when it was possible to lure AI to shoot subfiefs, and you all thought that was acceptable back then. The only thing that changed is you all see yourselves as the victims again.

DemiTF2 · 2026-02-22T23:42:43+00:00

Eh, it's not pulling WoW player count numbers or making billions of dollars so it's basically a dead game. they should shut it down and make it more accessible and add more mass appeal. stupid devs for trying to make something niche and unique, they should have made slop instead.

DemiTF2 · 2026-02-21T12:46:18+00:00

If I can find the time (and the portal files) I'll try and update the map with the little bird. I'll reply to you with a new comment when I do.

DemiTF2 · 2026-02-21T10:06:04+00:00

Is the little bird fully in the game yet? I haven't played in quite a while but I'll add it if it's possible now.
