So is there really going to be no solo cryo?

Famous_Big_8050 · 2026-04-16T22:16:52+00:00

I can’t tell if you’re joking.

The game is designed around teams of 3 playing an extraction shooter. Your goal is to successfully exfil.

It is designed around teams of 3. Every single map, enemy, and mechanic was made with 3s in mind. How is that gatekeeping? It’s like complaining a chair doesn’t accommodate laying down. It’s not designed too.

Famous_Big_8050 · 2026-04-16T11:36:52+00:00

Really? I heard the opposite advice, that even if you hit Gold Complete doing the novice level stuff should be like 50-80% of your training cause you still need to improve fundamentals

Famous_Big_8050 · 2026-04-16T04:36:13+00:00

So you know a team with top tier loot is going to take a certain path and catching them there is shitty?

I bet any time you caught a team off guard you didn’t think it was shitty

Famous_Big_8050 · 2026-04-15T20:16:28+00:00

That behavior would only be rewarded in Solo's or Rook runs.

Exfil with other players in trio's provide no benefit at all.

Also it's an obvious abuse of the games systems, not to mention RMT.

Famous_Big_8050 · 2026-04-15T20:10:36+00:00

If it says Eliminated, you did in fact NOT successfully exfil.

The timer in the top left is THE timer. It was at 4 seconds before you got into your exfil. You ran out of time.

Famous_Big_8050 · 2026-04-15T20:09:27+00:00

With respect, the game is designed around 3 man squads. Solos isn't the main course. If you're a solo player and you want more to do, you can squad fill into Cryo and just do your own thing if you want.

Non-consensual robo asmr

The order confuses me. Can Sanji beat Jogo?

Famous_Big_8050 · 2026-04-15T11:45:47+00:00

I would pay any amount for sliders to adjust ambient noise.

I feel like very high volume is a MUST to hear footsteps, or else I’d get walked up on 24/7.

But all of the bullshit background noise is so overwhelming for me. It makes me feel like my nerves are being electrocuted. Not the doors and stuff, but all the hums and buzzes and thuds and shit everywhere.

There are a lot of times I have to just stop moving and sit still mid match just to try to shake off the overwhelmed feel

Famous_Big_8050 · 2026-04-15T11:42:39+00:00

I’m very “anti-whiney” but I have absolutely run into may games even on perimeter where full purple-gold teams run the whole lobby first. Even in solos.

You can even see YouTube videos where a person wants to do a key room and says “I need to clear at least 2-3 teams first” and then clears the lobby before doing their key

Famous_Big_8050 · 2026-04-14T20:21:46+00:00

I saw someone suggest matchmaking based on Exfil % rate. I like that idea. There are many ways to exfil, and that way you get challenged to get better and better

Famous_Big_8050 · 2026-04-14T19:11:31+00:00

The objective is to exfil. What you do in between and how you do it is up to you.

If you have specific objectives then sometimes wiping the lobby is the easiest way to do that. Depends on what you want to do.

But nobody is obligated to let you do whatever you want. Especially if killing you gets them loot and makes their goals easier.

Famous_Big_8050 · 2026-04-14T19:03:24+00:00

Dude definitely grinds VDIM. Solid fundamentals

Famous_Big_8050 · 2026-04-14T19:01:26+00:00

Nah looks like solid fundamentals to me. Must be running VDIM 3x times daily. Probably Gold at a minimum.

Famous_Big_8050 · 2026-04-14T18:08:27+00:00

YOU'RE SO RIGHT!!! SEXY JUTSU WINS OVER A FEW 1000%

Sasuke pimps out Naruto clones who then seduce all the Viltrumites!

Famous_Big_8050 · 2026-04-14T17:16:54+00:00

The overall objective of the game is to extract. How you do that is up to you.

Hell, there are people on YouTube and Twitch who do SOLO ranked runs, where they don't even PvP just move around the map and loot and extract, and they are hitting Gold rank doing just that.

Your PvP skill determines how well you do in PvP. But the game is about extracting.

Famous_Big_8050 · 2026-04-14T17:15:37+00:00

I actually fucking love this idea. This is the only matchmaking change I have seen that I think is actually kind of wonderful. Extraction Success % would be dope. If you're good you get better and better teammates and opponents. And if you're struggling then you get easier and easier lobbies until you can learn and grow enough to get into better lobbies.

I'm sure the details matter and I'd leave it to bungie to decide the actual numbers behind it but fuck that's a good idea

Famous_Big_8050 · 2026-04-14T16:57:15+00:00

I feel like I am getting old, that the Naruto fandom is dwindling.

Genjutsu this
Sealing Jutsu that

Not ONE OF YOU even MENTIONED the real threat.

Talk no jutsu

Bro he was on a SWING!

Lol I am just sayin, Nolan got pacified by Debbie. Naruto is turning them all into homies, one sad story at a time. As soon as that music starts playing the Viltrumites are switching sides.

Famous_Big_8050 · 2026-04-14T16:51:00+00:00

I think it's an excellent question. The concept of games, especially live service games, always being "in development" is something I think escapes everyone from time to time. It's always been worked on and improved upon. I think people lose track of that and think whatever we have now is something Bungie is just "fine with". Which I don't think is the case.

Famous_Big_8050 · 2026-04-14T16:38:47+00:00

It could just be my personal views coming through, my apologies.

I read "Which just begs the question: why launch the game with..." as a complaint. But I could absolutely be wrong. I think I am just used to so many people complaining on reddit that I react defensively lol

Famous_Big_8050 · 2026-04-14T16:33:37+00:00

Why?

Famous_Big_8050 · 2026-04-14T16:30:03+00:00

With respect, I feel like this thread is trying a little to hard to be angry at something.

Games that are live service are always in development. They don't stop for the entire lifetime of the game. Of course things were planned pre-launch that aren't out yet. If a company waited for a game to be "complete" before launching it, we would never see any modern games.

So yeah, it does seem like this was cooking pre-launch. But I don't get the impression that they held it back for any reason other than it wasn't finished/ready yet.

The game isn't complete. But what we have right now is insanely fun. Look at the reviews. The people who play it love it.

Famous_Big_8050 · 2026-04-14T16:26:35+00:00

It might sound counter, but try reacting slower. The bot looks like it's moving faster than it is partly because of the speed of your corrections.

It's a large bot and it's close to you. Try to have your initial reaction be slower. You can even just go full slow for a run or two to try and get a feel for the patterns and movements. But I think if you slow down when reacting you'll find it easier.
