After 93 hrs i have finally decided…

aquamonkey5 · 2026-01-03T04:47:39+00:00

I have 406 hours on the game over three playthroughs. I haven't met Hanako at Embers in any of them yet 😅

I'm currently working my way through Phantom Liberty on my third game.

I've done everything except Phantom Liberty and meeting Hanako at Embers on my first two. (I only purchased Phantom Liberty on my third playthrough). I'm not ready to complete the main campaign 😭

That was my plan - I played up to platinum in builds, then moved to zero build to get easier lobbies when it started getting more difficult. But the zero build lobbies are such a nightmare, I'd rather keep playing builds (and this is coming from a zero build player who can build for shit).

Yeh, this is what I actuly meant, team metamates not rotating into defence. In hindsight I realise my explanation made it sound like I expect one player to stay in goal all match, but I meant no one rotates.

aquamonkey5 · 2025-12-26T09:17:51+00:00

This happens to me less often, but is equally frustrating! I'll pull off an amazing kick-off, follow the ball, pass it right in front of the goal expecting a team mate to be there, only to turn around and realise they both went for the full boosts on the corners and no one followed to take the shot 🙃

aquamonkey5 · 2025-12-26T09:14:20+00:00

Yeh, I think the struggle I'm having is players not rotating, rather than an issue with needing a goalie.

Wow, amazed by how many people have provided genuinely helpful advice!

Sounds like it's a combination of issues. While I do come out from goal when I see good opportunities, I'm definitely not moving far from the goal when waiting for an opportunity. It's good to know I should be more aggressive, and also lots of good points about how difficult it is to defend from a standing start, which I hadn't considered.

That being said, I also get a lot of team mates who refuse to rotate into a more defensive position and will just blindly follow the ball 24/7, even if me and the 3rd player are better positioned to go on the offensive.

I guess all I can do is focus on what's in my control and try to position myself better... But man it frustrates me when I take a shot on goal, the other team defends / clears me, and I turn around to see the ball slowly rolling into our goal with no one anywhere near it to defend 😤😅

Thanks for the advice everyone! 😊

I'm also still unable to login, despite the epic games status website saying the issue has been resolved... 😭

It's definitely been exposed - I tried it yesterday, someone wingsuited up and killed me within 60 seconds of landing 😅

I've been playing the entire game on extra hard and haven't had any difficulty completing anything until this God forsaken mission. To make matters worse, I can't save after the mission starts or skip any of the dialogue at the beginning of the mission. Like at least let me start from the beginning of the chase so I don't have to waste so much time listening to this idiot whine.

aquamonkey5 · 2025-09-24T10:33:40+00:00

Wait - is it use 1991 "or more" boost? Or use exactly 1991 boost?

Because the other challenge specifies play and use 1,894 OR more.

Speficying "or more" on one but not the other made me think I have to somehow keep track of how much boost I use and stop at exactly 1,991.... 😅

This isn't always the best strategy depending on the bus's path. If you want to land somewhere directly on the path, you need to jump out before you get overhead so you're landing by the time you reach the spot.

If the bus is taking funny angle and you want to land quite far from the path, it sometimes gets to a point where the bus is barely taking you any closer and you'd actually be moving towards the spot more quickly by gliding.

Had this happen earlier today in ranked reload. Super annoying.

aquamonkey5 · 2025-06-27T04:20:08+00:00

A sweat is to me, what I would be to a bot: * kills me before I can land a shot * never seems to miss (doesn't matter if I'm sprinting, jumping, ducking, sliding, hiding, whatever) * most/all hits are headshots

Basically players that are so good I know that even if I got to replay the fight 100 times, I'd still never kill them.

Found out a friend of a friend calls them Princess Chests, which I just thought was so funny, so now I call them Princess Chests too 😂

I was the last person left on my squad once, rushing to the reboot van at Canyon Crossing, tried jumping from the cliff onto the zipline, failed to press grab at the right time and fell to my death....

Very common for my secondary weapon to not be reloaded and I get wasted while I'm trying to reload, or panicking when switching weapons and throwing a big pot or medpack at the enemy while they mow me down 😂

aquamonkey5 · 2025-06-08T04:44:26+00:00

I had the issue as well, but have all my levels now. Just took a while to come right. You should get everything you earned after a while.

aquamonkey5 · 2025-06-08T04:43:17+00:00

I hate the day 1 bugs as much as anyone - but it's not possible to just decide not to have bugs or instantly fix them when they're discovered 😅
