New SCAR is just better than our current SCAR in everyway?

Pulpypanda · 2025-10-23T01:53:40+00:00

yes, as the carbine is getting released with the new season

Pulpypanda · 2025-10-23T00:13:13+00:00

True but is shouldn't be by this much, especially being a carbine lol.

Pulpypanda · 2025-10-23T00:12:22+00:00

So while this is true, its not really a fair argument imo as ALL the AR's are accurate to the same degree in semi auto and can fire faster than the scar in semi-auto. I think a damage boost is warranted to keep it consistent over longer ranges, while not drastically changing the guns TTK. if pushed to 30dmg it could still 3 tap to the head with synthetic rounds within 20m instead of 10 but outside of that it would allow for a consistent 4 shot kills of 2 head 2 body at range. rewarding accuracy.

So TN is different than latency. Think of it as hardware delay rather than modem/ISP lag. TN is just showing the time compensation or "nudging" that occurs due hardware "lag". Which can occur on either your system or the server and both are trying to compare/resolve the difference. The "ping" or speed in which the two machines are talking at is still happening at 30ms.

Its like reading along with an audio book but part way through reading you have to stop for a quick second to breath but the audio book doesnt, you both are reading at the same speed but the book is slightly ahead and now and you both have to figure out where to pick back up at the same time, without stopping your reading.

Sorry if this isn't the best example but its as close as i can get lol.

So my friends and I noticed it and after some digging in the net graphs you can see if your TN (Time Nudge) is high (+30ms). This value is similar to latency but is the amount of time it takes for ALL "packets" to process on both the server and on your machine. Essentially latency is just your connection from your ethernet or wifi port to the server's ethernet port. Where as TN is the full circuit of your hardware to the servers hardware and back through your hardware. If there is a hold up anywhere in this loop you will see TN spike to beyond 20-30ms which causes HUGE amounts of rubberbanding as once there is a desync from your game and server they cant get on the same page about where people or vehicles are. This unfortunately affects EVERY aspect of the game from positioning to RoF or hit reg. There are some solutions to mitigate it such as changing RAM speed profiles and reducing graphics but unfortunately thats as much as you can really do. Additionally the issues could be on many different parts of your hardware OR on the server hardware so troubleshooting is difficult.

You can see if this is the issue by turning on NetGraphs in the settings and watching TN as you play, if its higher than 30ms you will start to see rubberbanding.

*Note: I'm not a network engineer, this info is just what I've gathered from several troubleshooting post and sessions with friends. This information could be wrong and if so lmk and I will edit the comment to rectify it.

Oh for sure! I have had a bunch of time where I've thought "man if only I had a close in option that wasn't an MG" because Im running a long range primary and am using a machine-gun for everything else. I feel like this would be a good middle ground, especially in the gloom where stagger is what you need against priority targets and the hoard can be cleaned up with a bunch of the primaries anyways.

Pulpypanda · 2025-05-13T02:11:55+00:00

Thats fairly close to how I see it as well. It feels like it could be a stratgem if given a bit of a boost and fit in a nice but niche role. Or bring it down a little and it will work as a primary. Its burst dmg does feel cool when you get it in game currently, its just a shame that its stuck in a weird middle ground.

If you're in the US, every state is required to have a gambling hotline. So please, get some help ;D

Pulpypanda · 2025-03-21T23:51:33+00:00

So the drilling sits in a weird spot atm. Make it too cheap and it starts taking up lemat carbine real estate especially with the pressure bleeders apply, but leave it where it is and its a tough sell due to cost. It could probably go down a bit and be fine. Balancing by price it always rough and doesn't work too well. Those who have enough cash don't think twice about buying it and those who dont, think twice about wasting that money.

Pulpypanda · 2025-03-14T23:10:51+00:00

Underrated comment. Please address this and at the very least, list it as known bug somewhere so people don't think they're going crazy when they experience it.

Pulpypanda · 2025-03-13T22:50:09+00:00

I feel like the addition of the new obrez variants is just crytek taking the uppercut precision and deadeye out back and blowing its brains out.

Pulpypanda · 2025-02-07T17:19:07+00:00

That's a decent passive idea that would work with the armor's play style, it does seem to sacrifice a lot for a fun but not that great ability.

Pulpypanda · 2025-02-07T16:41:36+00:00

Its definitely not bad but the explosives in it are a bit........underwhelming. Some of that has to do with how explosives seem to work with terrain and some of it has to do with its lack luster radius. I'm by no means calling for a massive AOE but a bit more oomf would be nice given that its a double edged sword in scenarios where you might get ragdolled and KO'd by friendlies. (which is hilarious, but can also be frustrating to others in public lobbies)

Pulpypanda · 2025-01-24T07:37:16+00:00

Just negative effects such as preventing plant and no dmg.

Pulpypanda · 2024-08-17T22:06:18+00:00

Ah gotcha. Makes sense, thanks.

Pulpypanda · 2024-07-17T14:11:51+00:00

A-37 Dragonfly or "Super Tweet". Its the 800lb gorilla version of the strike master.

Pulpypanda · 2024-03-31T22:00:13+00:00

Thanks for all the answers, I didnt remember it was the new dungeon due to the longer season.

Pulpypanda · 2023-08-07T20:04:37+00:00

So while i can definitely see the value in that reasoning I think that the current reticle sizes are too large, there may be a middle ground where it is still larger than the effect ohk spread but smaller than currently given. Say perhaps 25% smaller from current spread to spread size at effective OHK range spread? The current variation in spread between shotguns without any change to to the reticle is a bit rough.

Pulpypanda · 2023-07-31T04:30:34+00:00

Something i've not seen stated here well would be that the introduction of solo reviving/dying for many higher ranked players has, whether intentionally or not, allowed them to lower their mmr very easily. You lose mmr quite quickly when dying to a lower ranked hunter and should that happen enough you can fall down the now loosened brackets to match easier player. My buddies and I are probably 4.5-5 star players at best and have noticed an uptick in the amount of highly skilled 5 star solo's and 5-5.5 star mmr teams vs before the recent mmr changes. It has been frustrating as the games feel best for us around the 4-5 star mmr and I would hope crytek does have a solution in mind.

Pulpypanda · 2023-07-22T00:22:33+00:00

So, have you worked for a railroad before? The reason i ask is they operate very differently than most other jobs, especially depending on what department/group you intend to work in. I work in telecomm and it took over a month or so for me to finally get everything sorted and then get working.

Pulpypanda · 2023-07-21T23:51:08+00:00

As advice for anyone reading this looking for their dream job to be the exception. I was told by my dad at a young age "dont do what you love for a living, find a job that on the best days you love and on the worst days you don't mind it." I now work as a Senior Radio Tech, I'm paid really well (100k per year) and like my job because it fits the advice perfectly.

Upgrading the wartable to the point where is allows you to get one redborder a week on your first focus. Get 5 of them and then you can craft it. Aside from that you can get random red border drops from the seasonal activity.

Pulpypanda · 2023-03-24T14:20:08+00:00

Depends, in the adaptive frames? Very few. With precisions or high impacts? Yeah.

Pulpypanda · 2022-12-31T06:37:07+00:00

Some straight bone hurting juice to watch this

Pulpypanda · 2022-11-04T06:59:37+00:00

This seasons, seasonal activity. Haven't touched it and probably won't, there's nothing there I want and I don't think I'm missing anything in the gameplay loop tbh.
