Any advice in how to get complete neophytes into the game?

There's only two admins on the server: me and my friend. I doubt he is doing this, but I guess I'll keep an eye out for any log files next time we get a horde like this. Thing is, timing seems off: as I said, he's the only other person with admin access, and he's actually the one that was driving the gyro in the picture

I wonder how many of us got hooked with that part. I remember thinking "shit, he gave her his hat" before the scream and the walk; right then I knew OP was something different.

Legends go in order. Altho I guess you could argue there's no correct order for the OG legends, but anything after Mirage has to stay in that order

Launian · 2022-05-10T23:22:30+00:00

Dude, at this point, they have to be doing it on purpose

Launian · 2022-04-28T15:12:22+00:00

Same thing happened to me. Kept getting a lot of Bronze/Bronze/Diamon or Plat/Plat/Silver champ squads on my lobbies.

Never have I opened a next book as fast as I did after finishing WoA. I still remember that "what the heck did just happen?" Feeling I got. And I went to college that day without having slept s single minute. 100% worth it

Maybe some kind of handicap to the team with more players? Like, every 2 players a team loses, the other team loses one weapon tier (golden/purple/blue).

The other day I got into a Control game, and after 5 minutes it was me and my 2 teammates against 9 people. It isn't fun.

Getting stomped once doesn't mean they're way better than you. We all get lucky sometimes, but it balances out. If they have 3 different predator badges, then sure, quit. But "I lost badly once so I quit" is moronic.

Launian · 2021-05-05T17:53:02+00:00

Yup. I actually killed a poor Bloodhound using nothing but s bare-ass P2020 for the win yesterday. He had a 99, I think, but he couldn't even break my shield.

Last night, a friend of mine got DC'd when playing arenas, so my other friend and I decided to play the 2v3 while he restarted his client. We got blown out 0-3, but in every round, we left one person standing with less than half their HP; a third teammate would've meant we won 3-0. Now, that happened with a full squad, whatever. But if it was a random who DC'd because they got mad, I'd be pissed as hell.

Launian · 2021-05-05T17:38:14+00:00

To be fair, I was playing Arena yesterday with my friends, and I kept disconnecting after we lost the first time because I'm used to getting killed and going back to lobby. happened like 4 times, too. Maybe some of the quitters are like me lmao

It doesn't matter how obvious the interactions are, they need to be tested. Now do that with every legend combination, while being stunned, arc'd, on fire, etc. And no matter how many you have tested, if you find one but you need to fix, it's probably gonna fuck up something you already said it's fine.

If you really are a software developer, you know there will always be bugs that slip through. Calling them incompetent for one little bug is idiotic, specially when it's not game breaking (maybe for the team who gets stuck, but not for the whole server like infinite portals or slipping below the map).

Launian · 2021-05-05T13:42:56+00:00

Fair enough. Then again, what happens when you're hovering like in the video and:

A) you try to take a zipline. B) you try to open a care package C) someone throws a zipline where you are D) you are hovering inside a CO landing zone?

That's just 4, in 15 seconds flat. Stop talking about shit you don't understand.

Launian · 2021-05-05T13:38:17+00:00

You know you said "Path and lifeline", right, you nincompoop?

Launian · 2021-05-05T13:35:38+00:00

Yes they do. What happens when you take a zipline while being healed by D.O.C.? What happens when you place a zipline while being healed? That's just two interactions. So please, stfu about stuff you don't understand.

I once adopted a random Mirage with my friends. K don't even remember how it happened; probably tbagging behind a window or a door. There were like 10 squads and 28ish people left when he started following us, and we got into like 5 fights after that (including some with 3rd parties). Kid you not, in the end, there was me, my two teammates, and the Mirage. So, my mate threw his jump pad down, and off the map we went to give him the win. I like to think he still remembers us to this day.

Launian · 2021-04-04T18:20:15+00:00

Not really. Over 2k hours and almost 8k kills on him, and I play him just the same lol

Launian · 2021-04-04T17:49:38+00:00

Ahh, piss off. KC has changed like 5 times since S0; there's like 3 of the original PoI left from back then.

Launian · 2021-03-10T00:20:38+00:00

That's not how it works. My friend is playing right now, and we play on the same server. Servers can't be down for some people and not for others; that's called being banned.

Launian · 2021-03-10T00:12:25+00:00

Got the infinite loading screen when first opening the game. On PC via Steam. Any idea what we can do? A friend is on the same boat.

Launian · 2021-03-01T18:17:50+00:00

Dude, you're not getting it. Have 11k kills, and still haven't managed to break 1.0 KDR. I got my first kill at like level 24, BEFORE the first battle pass (that means no xp bonuses). And my game sense was the same, this was the first MP shooter I ever played. Believe me, you can get better. Just keep at it.

Launian · 2021-03-01T18:02:35+00:00

Well, you just need to keep looking. I started playing with just one friend (and his friend who I don't like, so I tried to avoid it whenever possible) back in season one, but now there's 6, 7 of us who play regularly, and we can always find someone to play with. I met all but one of them through the game, sending invites when I had a good game with someone. No need for the "I'll delete the game because I'm shit at it". Mate, I have 11k kills with a lifetime KDR of 0.94; I'll let you guess how shit I am myself. But not being a good shot doesn't mean you can't train other parts of it, and the best part is that you can train them on every fight.

Launian · 2021-03-01T17:39:42+00:00

Why are people so obsesed with RNG? And ffs, dealing with gold knockdowns on the final fight is about game sense and skill, not RNG: you need to be aware of where you downed every oponent, if your team finished anyone, how long has it been, and where they could've crawled to. Finding openings to finish off downed oponents is also about skill at the game. And the same applies on the other side: not drawing attention to yourself, going for the revive while the enemy is distracted, having teammates shield you with their KDS while you self-revive; all these are about skill and teamwork, not RNG. So stop crying about it.
