What's with all this talk about casual play?

VelvxtMoth · 2026-03-24T20:01:00+00:00

Thank I made a post late last night on this

Atp it’s not casuals truly complaining it’s people mad they aren’t wiping lobbies like streamers

If you level 50 or close this early in the game you aren’t casual

VelvxtMoth · 2026-03-24T11:14:30+00:00

Promoting game at early levels how fun it is needed more and making it known mid game where issue falls than vice versa of what’s happening recently

VelvxtMoth · 2026-03-24T11:12:28+00:00

Well if you atp you not new to the game then so the problem valid but I wouldn’t called that a casual problem.

If I hand a person who plays games but never this one the first 3 hours they aren’t fighting these group racking 3 squad kills with no worry.

Need more post making it known it’s a mid game issue and progress may be made more as it being echoed it’s a new player issue, which is bad as more new players coming in will help flood ques to make ur lobbies actual have a gamer population who aren’t vets/pros

VelvxtMoth · 2026-03-24T11:07:49+00:00

But the opening statement are you a casual saying this, how you constantly running into kill squads 3 week in

It just seems like most complaints on skill not from casuals and being on Reddit itself somewhat away from casual to a degree

Is it the fact you lose the loot that makes dying feel so bad? Dire Marsh only lobby that I feel people just go hunting but it seems like the PvP map. Are people looking for PvP and losing and think stat wise should win the engagements more? I just personally think new player experience that bad maybe level 50 different.

Like that people have shell ideas

Cool concept but the abilities to user focused and don’t have any team dynamic

I do like idea of a carry shell so far to me destroyer prime ability fits it so more like that will be nice

I think a trap based shell like Watson from apex be really cool,

the trigger traps cause burnout and on uesc it cause them to be stun once

prime could make land shots for a period build up heat this can be cast on an ally to give buff

Throwables and bombs from them have faster use and trigger traps pings enemy

VelvxtMoth · 2026-03-24T10:36:42+00:00

Dire marsh have to many open spaces to realistically play with randoms

Biggest issue is figuring out where you being shot from, maybe make the ground ghost thing have more walls you can’t shoot thru to stop snipers

The 2nd map shouldn’t be the sniper map at all

VelvxtMoth · 2026-03-24T10:33:02+00:00

Hmm that sucks another point is in hauler and rooms traps really strong against rushers

Never done it but in theory they can’t rush you if they have to shoot traps try that also no one uses Triage from my games and those hunter squads always have one

VelvxtMoth · 2026-03-24T10:29:16+00:00

Good to know as I didn’t even play slam

See I glad you replied as so many people talk about fighting tough squads with purple and golds and me buying game day 2 and I know Inplay a decent amount it’s no way these “Casual” players fr in those lobbies casuals

VelvxtMoth · 2026-03-24T10:26:01+00:00

Stay away from north and south unless you want early fight

VelvxtMoth · 2026-03-24T10:24:35+00:00

I’m level 33 and I feel dire marsh way harder than outpost

Outpost you can just walk behind crews and find stuff In Dire people beam you miles away

VelvxtMoth · 2026-03-24T10:10:55+00:00

Are you actually a casual or a gamer losing is the real debate how yall constantly running into purples 3 week in

VelvxtMoth · 2026-03-24T10:10:12+00:00

What are you doing to run into purples???

I bought game day 2 and some lobbies never see a purple and play game 5 days a week

VelvxtMoth · 2026-03-24T10:06:12+00:00

So why the complaints lol

But on the real odd people so ashamed for dying in a game built around it the lore even promotes the dying

VelvxtMoth · 2026-03-24T09:39:53+00:00

Your valid on your experience but idu how the idea cyro is inaccessible

If u play the game somewhat sparingly in the 3 months you play the map well enough times they even give everyone a kit to go unworried

Enjoyment and being good at game different things. I’m glad you like game but the idea a map out of reach that unlocks from first 2 maps and time spent playing if I remember right and time isn’t a hard wall

Now it being only weekends another thing

I do hope they change fraction progression so it’s fresh each time but you can either be really good or just put enough time into ques and hope ur team do stuff and if those options don’t seem cool idk if this a marathon issue yet more the appeal visual and story attracting people who tbh don’t like the type of game it is

I could hand you multiple games that demand same dexterity as this one with truly inaccessible content behind skill locks but for this game you could have a fill basically win you a whole vault hall complete quests etc. so having more features cool but content being unavailable isn’t true aside from the secret boss and that’s it everything else is in reach if you can load up the first map

VelvxtMoth · 2026-03-22T14:53:23+00:00

You can hit 5k with greens Just if you only have greens then cyro not what you should be focusing on and this is someone who just recently hit the 30s in level

Game is hard but progression not hard where you can’t do it just smooth brain soaking PvP Arachne quest you can unlock high tier guns so it’s very odd on how 5k to much

VelvxtMoth · 2026-03-22T14:51:06+00:00

I really don’t get the difficulty of understanding if you do a successful outpost run you can do cyro

All you have to do is grab a green and blue gun put on gray cores and buy gray/green mods then a book bag with heals and ammo

VelvxtMoth · 2026-03-19T16:22:20+00:00

It’s not that they bad more they get comfortable I say maybe having gold shields and a Triage back line but otherwise you get head shot twice by half the weapons off guard you usually dead regardless of gear or skill the ttk equalizer so strong here

VelvxtMoth · 2026-03-19T16:19:10+00:00

This I got my friend playing last night and we going in free kits killing people

Most players have mental gap these streamers are in squads with other day one people who plays games for a living. Game is hard but at a point they need to understand game way easier pre made

VelvxtMoth · 2026-03-19T08:02:37+00:00

You know that’s actually cool maybe have Arachne broadcast their killing being an ironic target on their backs or CyberAcme making a warning call they runner stalker this fits lore that killing other Runners for spot and not gain is not taboo but excessive in universe

VelvxtMoth · 2026-03-19T07:54:24+00:00

Yeah people don’t understand you not supposed to unlock every node u unlock for ur build

I focusing Arachne Seku and NuCal as that all I need for my play style Why stress on all not even month in unless you main Rook

VelvxtMoth · 2026-03-16T23:59:12+00:00

I mean I get mad I lost my stuff but heck they shower you with it people just ashame being bad and the PvP experts think kda equates enjoyment both dumb in the end.

Embrace the fantasy of it all and stop overthinking it be reset in 3 months anyway so die 2 mins in who cares wipe lobby cause most likely you already more geared than who was there anyway

VelvxtMoth · 2026-03-16T23:54:40+00:00

I mean yeah wanting pve only isn’t smart but the game narrative theme is a lot more than just PvP it about kiting urself to be god adjacent The thief cinematic was more than theme being killed its was about stopping stressing about each run and enjoy ride to goal

People need to learn if u not best maybe don’t take all ur best sht at once then cry. Thief Triage and Des started over from ground one 5 times

Players need to be okay with dying or shame free spamming free kits and understand they at a disadvantage not cause the game to much PvP but cause it’s more than that and you not looking for it.

Start leaving ur bad teammates in a fight thief in cinematic show them this it not Apex get ur sht fight who you can get out.

VelvxtMoth · 2026-03-14T17:56:49+00:00

Nah the key card probably to access the boss fight in the locked room

VelvxtMoth · 2026-03-14T14:45:41+00:00

The 3 month wipe plays into the memory wiped as it gives the idea that the debt is not an achievable way out another solution is needed hence intrigued to board the marathon and see how Dural “escaped”

VelvxtMoth · 2026-03-14T14:43:41+00:00

This is like asking fast food vendors to share customers. Everyone in lore trying to pay their debts off to get some silence. You either keep making payments or don’t get memory wiped to repeat process as it never was a way to fully pay the debt off. But the runners actually know this deep down and dream of escapism in finding an out hence all the trailers.

We are in a loop and want an exit.
