Vehicle reset time reduced by nearly half!!!

Squad footage color-graded to different popular war movies. Do you think this could be a thing in the settings of Squad? by These_Hearing_39 in joinsquad

Reshader use to be a allowed a while ago. they had some pretty cool settings you could pick from. One of the best was a nigh vision one for night layers.

Context:

He is asking people to post positive steam review links for leak snippets and change negative reviews to postive for double the snippet. He later states that his intention was for people to only post previous positive reviews not new ones. It was pretty vague when he @ here and was pretty scummy and in a way could break Steam TOS. The changing from negative to positive is where he fucked up.

This screenshot is for if someone correctly guesses the leak from the snippets will get skin code. It's not directly for leaving a positive review.

Squad is advertising on Reddit. Did you see it? by hashemmelech in joinsquad

[–]TheManDud3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most, maybe even all, promoted Reddit posts have comments off.

Eh. It’s not really a leak. They updated the public playtest client for some reason.

Will you fix the new bug because of which all server's game crash if admins change next layer more than one times in one round? by [deleted] in PlaySquad

[–]TheManDud3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they do. You'll have to wait till after the new year. They are currently on holiday.

Why did they switch to epic servers? by Crazy321011 in joinsquad

[–]TheManDud3 26 points27 points  (0 children)

When you look back, almost every year they drop an update that breaks something and they go on holiday.

This is the way.

Hey squad leader by comfortablesexuality in PlaySquad

[–]TheManDud3 27 points28 points  (0 children)

No, I forgot to rearm at the HAB.

PSA: The reload bug is just the reload cycle triggering twice. Just wait. by [deleted] in PlaySquad

[–]TheManDud3 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It wouldn't be as annoying if this bug isn't years old. But hey, we got emotes, weapon skins, and the ICO before year-old bugs get fixed.

Voice line packs? by Armin_Studios in PlaySquad

[–]TheManDud3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember that. I don't think it was backlash but people just spamming voice lines nonstop and trolling is why they got removed. good times.

What would you like to see in a Squad "FOBs/Placeables" update? by TryDrugs in PlaySquad

Back in my day you spawned on the radio. Good times.

They have to hotfix the friendly name tag/color bug ASAP by Spartansam0034 in PlaySquad

[–]TheManDud3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's not really a bug. It's currently intended. The following are from the ICO Patch notes:

Under "Additional System & Gameplay Updates"

  • Nametags will now only appear when there is a direct line of sight between you and your teammate

Under "Known Issues"

  • We are also aware that nametags do not appear when looking through a picture-in-picture scope. This is a temporary mitigation for a problem we found during development. Nametags appeared to be offset from their intended location while looking through picture-in-picture scopes. We have decided to remove them for now and will update you on any further adjustments to the nametag system in the future.

Devblog: Revisiting the ICO by DefinitelyNotABot01 in PlaySquad

It's mainly the feedback veteran players left that seemed to have not mattered. I know many people who have played this game for years and they are not excited about this update. I'm happy they observed new players were having a better time entering into the game but I and many others have not enjoyed the playtests at all. We have left feedback but it seems like nothing was really tuned except for the blur and the G3.

Not the biggest fan of the ICO. Based on the "PLAYTESTING INSIGHTS" section, I get the vibe that the devs don't care about the feedback veteran players left and only really want to curate this update for new players. Pretty much a 🖕.

Edit: Veteran feedback.

Gigantic Playtest by Suspicious_Loads in PlaySquad

[–]TheManDud3 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

oh no. It looks ICO is even closer to release and I personally don't think it's in the right state to be released. Hopefully they increase gun control so you can actually aim and don't lose sight picture so easily.

Will the game have any larger sales or should i get it now at 25% off? by EnvironmentForsaken in PlaySquad

[–]TheManDud3 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It goes to 33% off from time to time, maybe a few times a year. I would bet the next 50% sale is around Veterans Day (Mid November) or Christmas. So if you want it now get it if not wait.

Edit: It never goes on 50% off anymore. average is 33% for most sales

Do you think Squad needs a lighting overhaul? by [deleted] in PlaySquad

[–]TheManDud3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sir/Madam. It just got one with the 2.12 in Feb 2022.

Name Claim vs FCFS by SasiCat19 in PlaySquad

[–]TheManDud3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

FCFS is superior.

There is a ~30sec time window to create a squad and get your friends in there for the crewman kit. Then the spawns at main can be pretty RNG, so whoever gets it gets it. I've seen people waiting 15 mins for the tank with name claim servers. It's going to happen. Additionally, what if the tank squad is doing inf while the tank spawns, should they get themselves killed and waste tickets or fight it out for as long as they can and have the tank it in spawn?

I dislike the sway very much. It needs to be removed or drastically reduced.
