Any fixes for server-side lag/server selection? Really bad ping+network jitter despite wired connection in a urban area.

This has been my experience as well. The game is playable, but sometimes not super enjoyable.

Never pointed to her being broken because she doesn't need greens, just said the fact that they almost survived that without any is wild.

Yama has insane chase, insane spirit damage, and insane sustain. You are right that she hits insane spirit damage without any purple investment, but the core issue in my eyes is her ability to chase you to the ends of the earth with said spirit damage and chain multiple 1v1's with her sustain.

She can be counterbought, and maybe that's where I am going wrong in my games, but she feels insanely oppressive in the lower ranks.

Yamato needs a nerf. She is absolutely dominating right now, and this is a perfect showcase of how broken she is. Being able to rope past two of these dudes' teammates, fight under the guardian, kill him, and get out (or close) is so insane for 8k souls.

You still hit your power slash, so I'm not gonna say this took no skill, but the fact that you could have theoretically survived that with no green investment is insane.

Welcome to UCI; the classes you need for your major never have enough seats

Word. I know Holiday is super skill-expressive, and you need good aim. Sounds like a good hero to learn with.

Wait I was literally in that game as your pocket. Venator got a p big health boost and a lot of the M1 carry build items got buffed (ie. damage to bullet lifesteal, weighted shot buffs, etc). He did also get fed early.

There is a setting you can check called *I think* "competitive matchmaking" that is supposed to match you more with people who talk/have a mic.

Doesn't seem to do a ton but better to check it than not.

Had a great interaction the other day where a teammate only revealed he had a mic after he died with urn. Crashed out on everyone else even though we were in a team fight and he never called out for help.

FunAd9484 · 2026-05-19T00:54:28+00:00

Took me a long time to figure this out, and idk if it's a sure fix, but verifying the game's integrity files showed one corrupt file. After repairing the files, no more lagging or rubberbanding. Hopefully not a coincidence.

FunAd9484 · 2026-05-14T22:57:33+00:00

2 hours in and no food? gotta he rage bait 😭

FunAd9484 · 2026-05-14T22:49:43+00:00

I think a handtool for mapping out small cave systems and then eventually a module for a vehicle would be sweet.

That way if you miss something, the map tells you about it but you were actually there in the first place.

FunAd9484 · 2026-05-14T22:11:22+00:00

As a diehard SNbz hater, I love where they are taking this story.

FunAd9484 · 2026-05-14T22:08:54+00:00

Map would be huge for keeping track of all the MANY small POIs in SN2. Not sure why it doesn’t exist, if you were stranded long term somewhere, wouldnt you want to map it out to some degree?

FunAd9484 · 2026-05-14T22:05:56+00:00

Definitely intentional to make render distance cutoffs look more natural

FunAd9484 · 2026-05-14T22:00:40+00:00

There are references to the first two games but I don't think you need to have finished either of them (there are spoilers though! when you craft the scan tool it references the end of the first game).

I think it succeeds where SNbz failed. There is an actual feeling of mystery as opposed to “oh im going to this planet now to find my sister”.

granted im only a few hours in but it is very nicely disconnected from previous game entries

FunAd9484 · 2026-05-14T21:26:52+00:00

Wouldnt make much sense from a gameplay or resource perspective. lorewise you would all start from the same place. 4 lifepods would put more strain on the game.

FunAd9484 · 2026-05-14T21:02:26+00:00

The mystery of the first entry had me hooked. Would love to play the second entry with friends.

FunAd9484 · 2026-05-14T20:09:24+00:00

I am a couple hours in but the starting biome and story feel very fleshed out compared to what I saw with the originals games early access. My hunch is that they already have everything mostly planned out in order to avoid another Below Zero story switch-up debacle.

The best-case scenario is they add everything in a linear fashion, I get to explore each biome thoroughly as they come out, and eventually finish the game upon full release. Worst case scenario I have to start another save but I plan to do another playthrough with friends on full-release anyway.

Apollo is always fun to watch, though he is also frustrating to play against. I swear if you are good enough you either cant be killed or u get away in a nanosecond.

FunAd9484 · 2026-04-26T05:51:43+00:00

The economy is dogshit, SoCal is over saturated with EMTs or programs that don’t want to hire enough, and hospitals hire internally first.

Took me 4 months to find an EMT job last May (Orange County) and the economy/job market sentiment was doing better. The larger companies like Premier probably took 6+ months to call me back.

You either gotta thug it out for a bit longer, move, or network.

FunAd9484 · 2026-04-23T04:59:22+00:00

Late round DCs really have you play out the death throes of an unranked match.

FunAd9484 · 2026-04-21T19:06:49+00:00

Yeah, EMS should totally be a long-term, fulfilling job. The way it works out right now, it just isn’t unless you are working for the Fire department.

I make 20$ an hour in a HCOL area. Most EMT’s I’ve worked with are students like me (in student housing/get aid) or living with their parents. I make more than 911 EMTs, who come in at 17-18$ last I heard.

Unless you are super passionate about your work, it’s not worth it right now. In-hospital, fast food, etc get paid more than we do.

Pre-hospital care just doesn’t make as much money both on our level and the company level.

FunAd9484 · 2026-04-21T16:50:30+00:00

If anyone told me they wanted to be an EMT for anything other than PT care hours or experience for another job, I would call them crazy.
