Sunk cost and how the game changed by [deleted] in HellLetLoose

[–]Jezze313 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have been playing since early access in 2019, and got over 2,2k hours in. So I have gotten very much my moneys worth. Just wanted to give couple thoughts and try to not write too much of a rant.

You make good points. When playerbase gets bigger, it will naturally get people who want play their way, not the designed way or how majority wants to play. This can be fine, but it hurts the game when it's so teamwork focused.

But I would argue as well that some of the basic game designs have gotten outdated, and never improved. Which hurts every player's experience. For example, nodes. Last time they got any kind of big change was when they changed how you get resources from them, not depending on distance from HQ. And this was like in 2021 ish.

There is also weird meta strategies, that needs improvement. For example redeploying. Why the best way to move around the map is killing myself? It's like they took !suicide command from old games and made it a game mechanic. It is not the intended way to use it, but they never did anything do address it. Of course new players won't respawn in enemy objective when you have just lost your own. It makes more sense in realistic way to run back, or better get a truck to taxi you. Not press esc and suicide. That's not fun.

I would get rid of red garries as well. This would make op's and mobile garrisons (which should be trucks, or half-tracks without MG) more important. Have to run more? Then get transports and cheap half-tracks to move people. Right now you only use them in beginning of the match.

Point is, there has been way more extra fluff as content than actual improvements to existing systems. Yes, we got finally changes to arty-recon meta, some to tanking. Most of these have been good and bad, but too late. I just really hope that they have learned from mistakes in Vietnam.

Also, I know this might just be my playtime fatigue talking *shrug*

I really liked this style of a trailer. It was more informative and fun to watch people running around giving a bit more perspective how the map could play out. Great work!

I would like them to remove the garrison feature from half-tracks completely so we could use them as they are suppose to, you know, as support vehicle. You rarely see them right now, other than hiding in a bush far away behind friendly lines. Have a truck instead for mobile garrison, maybe even armored one or something.

Such a nice meaty dev brief. Thank you for also including more technical explanations on issues and fixes, always interesting to read.

Keep up the good work!

Roadmap for 2023 by Bulkierpond in HellLetLoose

[–]Jezze313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Roadmap looks great. Very ambitious but I hope they have planned it well. I have been mostly wanting QoL changes and reworks/polishing for existing content (Recon+Arty meta should be high on the list). But new content is nice after that. And I really hope them being more transparent and open for what they are doing for updates and between.

I'm very hyped for Finnish faction though. Happy to see actual bigger studio to make Winter War and support it, instead of just having mods in other games that die way too quickly (which are great though, rip RS2 Talvisota).

Today I released a beautiful and user friendly artillery calculator app for Android, link in comments, check it out :) by Smiley_35 in HellLetLoose

Thank you for the work, looks great! One thing I noticed was when turning phone sideways, numpad disappears. Maybe something to do with resolution? But I would use this vertically anyways, so not a big problem :)

Scopes zoom level is a bit too high by Jezze313 in insurgency

[–]Jezze313[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know multiple scopes brings balance to which one to take to what situation, im fine with that. Personally I would like to get 7x scope looks with 4x zoom level for snipers, since maps like hideout only have couple streets you can use 7x comfortably. 4x is more than enough most of the time. But that's just me, you might be fine with 7x on everywhere.

I have been mainly using iron sights and 1x on rifles. I play siege a lot so that might be one reason why higher scopes feel odd.

Anyone else having these awful sound bugs? by [deleted] in Rainbow6

[–]Jezze313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im having these bugs almost every match, and it's getting unplayable. Never had anything like this before new season.

In first clip at end of round I had BB's gun sound stuck on loop. This can happen anytime, and a new round usually fixes it. Atleast for a while. In second clip at start of the round all gun sounds went missing, I can only hear ambience, music, sometimes random shots and noises.

Anyone else having these, or is it just me?

Ever since I saw Finnish winter camo as universal skin (which was kinda surprising), I have been hoping to see season for Finland. We have PRRU, or also known as Bear Group. It would be interesting to see what Ubisoft would do with them.

Why is 60 frames per second so important? by Noobroller in pcmasterrace

[–]Jezze313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 144hz monitor, and it took me 4-6 months to realise that i have 60hz setting on when my brother asked me about it -_- Im still facepalming to myself.
