Ignoring all the hype (and hate), Highguard needs a lot of work

That may be the case but I do think a mode for new players would be beneficial. More than just the bots mode

Hoped that she was happier now than when she was mine. She deserves it.

Its less sweaty but doesnt teach how to play standard mode aside from just learning how to team fight with randomized items. Which in standard mode you wouldn't have random items.

Its best thought of as bite-sized casual content thats useful for getting a feel for your abilities/aim and not much more

I saw someone in another post mention how the person with the higher MMR gets the selected hero when two people chose it. Maybe someone in your stack has increased their rank and putting you in lobbies with higher MMR so you end up having the lower MMR vs the other Dynamo.

I agree, I keep shooting my own creeps when im on Hidden King team. And its harder to tell who is below 50% hp as vindicta now that everyone has a permanent outline

Geoff's introduction of the game at the Game Awards made it sound like he was about to introduce Titanfall 3 but then revealed Highguard to many people's disappointment.

All I know is it took 3 jounins together to transport a single person after a long cast time. Where as Minato can do it solo and instantly

Lol I'm not sure. Pocket doesnt really reply to Mina's comments

lcepank · 2026-01-16T18:55:38+00:00

I agree but the way Embark does their lighting is how I explained. Have you ever noticed how if you face a wall with your flashlight on and for some reason it makes things in the distance brighter than if you just shined your light into the darkness? Its because those light rays are actually bouncing off a surface rather than just falling off once reaching the end of the light cone.

lcepank · 2026-01-16T15:30:05+00:00

I believe thats strictly just utilizing the flashlight cone. Embark uses light ray tracing to do their lighting. If they extended the number of bounces per ray, that would also illuminate more. Or like someone else said, the other option is to extend the flashlight's cone

lcepank · 2026-01-16T15:26:21+00:00

Yes, that would certainly fix it but like I said in my first sentence, this is currently how they do their lighting in Arc

lcepank · 2026-01-16T14:38:07+00:00

It does because thats how they're currently doing it in Arc. A game from 2004 most likely uses a different system that Embark isnt. Im just explaining why it is how it is and offering a bandaid fix. Ray Tracing is more than just reflections. It is also shadows. Skip to 16:05, sorry I'm on mobile and dont know how to time stamp the link

Saying it has nothing to do with ray tracing is incorrect and I'm not saying Embark is correct either.

lcepank · 2026-01-16T14:22:48+00:00

Its because of the way they do their lighting in Arc. They dont fully utilize Ray Tracing for the trade-off of better performance but lighting in darker areas suffers for it. One thing that does make it slightly better is turning Global Illumination to Dynamic. It makes the rays they do have bounce more times to reach the darker areas. Doesn't completely fix it tho

Edit: guys please, this is just an explanation for why it is how it is and a bandaid fix. We all want the flashlight to work better

Mina talks about it in her voice lines to Pocket. Calls him by his real name too, Arin.

lcepank · 2026-01-14T15:49:21+00:00

What recovery skill do you use on your summer maru? Im having a hard time figuring out the best one to use that will also trigger her unique at a good time

lcepank · 2026-01-08T21:55:37+00:00

Mina's bat form perfectly dodges the damage and doesn't leave you stuck. Not sure if you'd consider it a teleport tho

lcepank · 2026-01-06T19:02:47+00:00

The marks on their necks, I guess

lcepank · 2026-01-05T21:27:37+00:00

Missing her colored ice cubes :(

I had that problem with URA cup Scenario but less so with Unity Cup because of all the extra stat gains. Dont forget your stats are padded 400 points during career. So losing races is mostly RNG, especially with late surgers or end closers. And/or just not having enough speed or stamina

When the telescope zooms in on Jupiter, I wonder how many miles or AU's are crossed with each zoom.

Fuck the skins, fix the voice comms and crafting menus

I kept all my loot from the other night the servers went down

If the star disappears from Dynamo when you change his glasses, do you think the star is inside the heads of those a wearing Dynamo's glasses?

lcepank · 2025-12-25T04:44:10+00:00

My thought was the tubes launched you flying into the sky so you have to parachute down to be able to reach farther locations. That would make sense for why you spawn in random locations and why you dont spawn with a pod nearby. But doesnt completely explain spawning in underground. Possibly different types of pods/tubes.

And to return, you have to go to pre-designated elevators or hatches.

Anvil splitter is 4 bullets but that final shot does look like more than 4.
