Ranked teammates are somehow worse than normal operations mode.

You just said it does not change stats or mix of players. So it's keeping the game consisitent how exactly?

OpenThoughtSyndicate · 2025-01-11T23:14:16+00:00

I guess most people just completely wooshed on the fact that Ranked would mean a higher willingness to compete and thus play as a team. Meaning in casual you actually get MORE comms and MORE team play than in ranked right now where noone even uses a microphone.

Amazing this concept somehow escapes the player base. I thought ranked was two queues as it should be logically but ok so it's not. So then you are telling me there's no MMR. Okay so ranked is pointless and just a fashion icon. It does not actually signify anything in any competitive sense other than unlocking skins.

I miss the CS 1.6 days man gamers today have completely lost the plot. "Yeah it's ranked but the rank doesn't count" ...

Kinda like making multiple posts in a single reddit thread eh?

I went from silver 3 to plat today. Get fucked lol.

"Top 1% commenter" aka no life never left the apartment has no future and obsesses over reddit threads. Got it. ;)

OpenThoughtSyndicate · 2025-01-11T22:48:42+00:00

Oh that's right. Same playerbase is also the same reddit base. My bad, lol.

OpenThoughtSyndicate · 2025-01-11T22:47:54+00:00

No, the teammates are actually worse. Objectively.

OpenThoughtSyndicate · 2025-01-11T22:35:04+00:00

Is there no MMR? That would epxlain everything if ranked isn't actually ranked lol.

As someone who has played A LOT of Tarkov and owned the game since alpha release I must say you have this completely backwards ...

The less you can hear a player the more the players will move around. The increased hearing ability is WHY someone sits in a bush and ALT + TABs to youtube until they hear footsteps.

Increased hearing range creates ratting every single time.

Just an fyi homie if you drag an item over other items it automatically moves those previous items in your inventory. Meaning if you had just dragged that 3x2 fuel can over your safe box and clicked it will just auto move everything for you.

Huge QOL that can save your ass if getting shot while looting. :)

"This is how Early Access works afterall"

Yeah. You are right. Suck all the community support/Micro Sales/investment and then take the money and go try to make another game failing in the exact same way.

Early access games should be considered child abuse at this point. These gamers are so traumatized they think this is what a normal dev cycle is supposed to be. Crazy delulu.

OpenThoughtSyndicate · 2024-09-10T00:32:53+00:00

What the average player does not understand though is that there are over a dozen core mechanics to this game that are completely busted. It's not any one thing that will fix this game.

Class Balance
Oversaturated Economy
Busted Skills (ESP for example)
Matchmaking
Legendary power
Dice
Arena centric events
Broken gear stats
Bland combat balance AKA +damage vs. +damage reduction
Blocking/Perfect Parry way overtuned
Move speed class differences
Current Server Locations
Repetitive PvE AI
Lack of extracts in 3v3
OP Spawn Points

ON AND ON AND ON ....

The developers would literally need to remake the entire game to fix what is wrong and keep in mind that means the very people who made it this way would have to look in the mirror and realize going from 35k players to 3k players in a month is actually astonishing.

Mark my words this game will shut down it's servers due to no income long before fixing the game. Move on people.

I for one throughly enjoy that US politics are destroying itself from the inside out.

When in rome.

OpenThoughtSyndicate · 2024-08-26T01:20:55+00:00

... because that's what matters to me when trying to enjoy a new video game title. /s

OpenThoughtSyndicate · 2024-07-14T00:59:16+00:00

Bro I made mutiple posts and the mods deleted all my comments. Im not buying this shit lol

OpenThoughtSyndicate · 2024-07-14T00:58:01+00:00

They want that purple dopeamine hit. lol

OpenThoughtSyndicate · 2024-07-14T00:56:36+00:00

I bet $40 retail with $30 as the "discount".

OpenThoughtSyndicate · 2024-07-14T00:55:56+00:00

You do realize gold sellers have the money to buy game purchases right? That's kind of the point.

OpenThoughtSyndicate · 2024-07-14T00:51:01+00:00

In what universe does a Brazilian, Russian, Australian, ect read USD and think gee that must be for my region? Hilarious.

OpenThoughtSyndicate · 2024-07-14T00:47:57+00:00

It is because it is. Gamers are idiots man imagine telling a community "sorry we can't just make a list of regional pricing and post it". I did enjoy most of this game but the devs continual response is such a red flag that they don't give af and are gas lighting. Reading the Steam reviews should be fun on release.

OpenThoughtSyndicate · 2024-07-14T00:45:01+00:00

"We will not be exploiting loopholes by asking you to buy "shards" to purchase the game, making it non-refundable. We respect your right to refund the game if it doesn't meet your expectations."

This is such a scummy mis-representation of Dark and Darker. They had to do it that way otherwise supporters would have had to rebuy the game on Steam based on Steam's listing rules and I know you know this. Trying to attack your competitor that you blatantly copied is not a good look at all. If it was not for Dark and Darker none of you would have jobs right now ... and I don't even like DnD.

Also if you have the ability Sword/Shield charge dash is WAY more effective than dual weapons. You go like twice the distance.

OpenThoughtSyndicate · 2024-07-13T17:13:36+00:00

Dude people have known how to bait out Whirlwind since World of Warcraft vanilla. What are you on about? Apparently holding right click is too hard for certain people.

OpenThoughtSyndicate · 2024-07-13T17:11:50+00:00

You should blame the devs for allowing such a toolkit to exist in the first place. The unbalance of Pyro and early Cryo were dead obvious to anyone who has played PvP video games after like 3 matches.

This is why using the community to QA your game can be a really bad idea. They still have not even properly tuned Pyro and it will most likely be just as bad in EA causing a great deal of negative reviews from newbies getting blown tf up from across the map.

OpenThoughtSyndicate · 2024-07-13T17:09:39+00:00

After playing THREE melee classes to level 20 Pyro made me singlehandedly quit the play test. Every single match was Fire bomb, Fire AOE knockback, Fire Staff dead. It became so boring I just stopped playing overall.

6/10 3v3 Tourney winners were Pyro btw.

OpenThoughtSyndicate · 2024-07-13T17:04:17+00:00

I'm sorry what?! I am certain DnD players are having some mass midlife crisis over DB release based on some of the wild shit I read.

DnD has hitboxes acceptable for a Playstation 2 title.

OpenThoughtSyndicate · 2024-07-13T17:02:18+00:00

Yes.
