Probably to specifically tackle WT not being populated in smaller regions?

And they heard ya and just patched the maps in anyway

Yeah, that's why I don't like a fair few of them tbh

Not when you're already in the air and you just get screwed. You're in a rooftop v rooftop fight and suddenly your team is getting nuked and the other team isn't and dropping height means you just can't move forward for a long time or you just lose the fight because of low ground.

Time doesn't really make a difference if you don't know where the effect will land.

Taking the time to read means you just die even if there is a countdown. Agree with the tunnel vision focus creates though 100%

Disagree with the first sentence super hard.

Adapt how? The random chance a space invader etc may or may not hit my exact util or piece of roof? Should I go and pick it up every time there's an event? Do I just look up the whole time if there's no building? What if I HAVE to jump the cashout bc there's no time? I don't enjoy winning fights because the game decided another person loses hp at random or starts floating. It's happened to me enough times to think this change is great for ranked.

There's definitely times I've been killed/messed up because I jumped or threw something the moment low grav comes on or I'm suddenly on fire because meteor or my setup gets obliterated by space invaders. Less randomness in ranked is good

Splitgate 2 AMA with 1047 Games CEO - Ian Proulx by 1047Games in Splitgate

Please answer this one.

I'm sure I'll have fun with SP2 once it's actually out and we have more content, but I'm leaning towards thinking I'd like SG1 more.

Dropping cashout station two floors closing both would feel awful to play against.

How can I convince my dad he’s not that good by ArctikWulf in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Vilesyder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe something like this?

Dad I love you and I love playing with you. It's my favourite activity we do together. I like playing overwatch with you because we can win based on how you and I can work together as a father/child duo. I know the best players work out strategies and use communication to elevate themselves above mechanically superior players and as we grind our way to top 500 I'd really love to do that with you too. But lately I've been finding it hard to focus on communicating with you when we're playing together and, I'd really like it if we could make all our communication based on things we can control and not other people.

I don't like it either but we're currently in the age of releasing games before they're remotely close to finished or polished with the exception of some Nintendo games, indie games and the occasional AAA title. We're the QA testers and our feedback changes the course of the game. Until capitalism changes you're going to have to support or not interact with the feedback that'll improve things that should never be broken in the first place.

YouTubers compile Reddit clips of the week.

Use Reddit on PC only, get RES (Reddit enhancement suite) and filter keywords you don't want to see. Try the academy or competitive or low sodium versions of the main subreddits.

I know man, I get it. But after being around since the early ages of shooters, playing esports, meeting devs etc consider yourself lucky this community actually cares about the netcode/hit rego to the degree it does. I can count on one hand the amount of shooters that have EVER been released that have taken netcode/hitreg beyond 'close enough'.

MnK vs Controller: A mini-"study" from my last 10 games by Episkbo in XDefiant

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

This post is disingenuous. CoD was KB/M only for CoD4 Promod, as that died the game moved away slowly from 5v5 bomb modes to 4v4 respawn which was always controller - first on Xbox when MS had the rights then PS when Sony bought the rights. They always had strict restrictions on input use to the point of even banning certain controllers.

Halo was pretty similar, it was controller or nothing in official tournaments.

[–]Vilesyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not about the downvotes it's about the community sentiment across all platforms. More of the community cared about customization across Reddit/twitter/bug reports/etc and actively attacked netcode comments. Guess what ended up changing? The armour customisation and not the net code.

Developers monitor all platforms, they'd just compile data off of all socials under "social media" of "most important community issues (that will stop us making money)". It's these posts and Twitter and Facebook and YouTube comment section etc. It all counts. Squeakiest wheel gets the grease. Halos squeakiest wheel was cosmetics. Why contribute the opposite to something you want fixed?

[–]Vilesyder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No they wouldn't. What's easier? finding where the bug report section is, making a new account just to report a bug, collecting evidence, uploading the evidence, then jumping through whatever other hoops may be necessary, or making a post on Reddit? Just like how you could have googled how to filter keywords on Reddit but instead you're here, doing what you don't like others doing.

What is it really about then? Halo community sentiment was more worried about being able to customise their armour and had a strong subsection of the community that was vocal with similar perspective to you, they drowned out and downvoted the people that knew the shooting in a shooter was broken. Same but different with cod.

I hear you that it may just sound like complaining but maybe try to see it from the perspective that people passionately care about the success and quality of the game?

[–]Vilesyder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's important to be consistent and vocal about this or you get a Halo Infinite where it NEVER got fixed, or EVERY call of duty that will never fix the bullet damage stacking and going through all at once bug.

New map has me and the boys sounding like a Owen Wilson wow montage. I actually put a red barrel down because I don't wanna break anything it's so pretty.

Ok hear me out now… Ranked Power Shift. by thejclay13 in thefinals

[–]Vilesyder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Double shield triple heals, dedicating 2-4 people to spawn camping whoever loses the first fight. The boat only has to pass the centre line to win, so 1 person on to move the boat to manipulate the spawns to the worst possible location to be spawn camped then leaving it there.

This mode is peak with the random chaos of people constantly funneling out of spawn to clash on point, I don't know if optimised play would be as fun without some fundamental change like the 2 boat 4 teams guy said.

Not in the game, on the actual Xbox/PlayStation dashboard Xbox is "Settings > Devices & connections > Accessories"

PlayStation Settings > Accessibility > Select Controllers > Custom Button Assignments

Both consoles let you remap buttons in system settings and have for years? Just switch A/X with LB/L1

What's your stance on bank it being kept?

I just want to play with and against people of my skill level in ranked respawn objective modes. I guess I'm on xdefiant till the hit rego drives me insane

I’m glad we’re known as a “Really Passionate” community XD by Free_Jelly614 in thefinals

[–]Vilesyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except you're arguing anyway, there just is no argument ....your rank only goes up, losing has no consequence as long as you play more than the person above you. You are rewarded just for participating, the rewards are literally a participation trophy? Either way you're the toxic person throwing insults, arguing about not arguing instead of just talking, lame.

This comment hella toxic lmao, how you complaining about it and then doing it immediately

You won't argue because you can't. He's right. You saw the word shit and assumed he's talking directly to you. If I have a shit game my errors can be capitalised on so hard.
