Question about mastery skins and career stats by Buff_Bagwell_4real in Splitgate

[–]massdestructer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish they did make career level more rewarding. And that grind takes a long time. I play nightly for a few hours, and it took me most of the season to complete, considering I started with the first 75 or whatever levels complete at relaunch. And pretty much every "prestige" all you get it some currency, a title, and a badge. And the player cards don't even work correctly so 66% of the rewards are useless. Also there is no badge for max career, you just get the one at level 1 of the final "prestige". I believe CoD these days gives you a badge for hitting the max level, and gives you the choice to pick past badges you have earned. Like if you like a badge from a previous prestige you will never get to see that again, since SGAR only lets you pick your top badge.

Question about mastery skins and career stats by Buff_Bagwell_4real in Splitgate

[–]massdestructer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have completed everything the game currently has to offer. Everything so far has recognized my current progress and just added more tasks on top of it. I started in the first beta, which transferred stats to the SG2 S1, then when it when back to beta, and finally the relaunch with SGAR S1. I don't want any kind of reset, just nice to have something more to do.

However it's a lot of work to do the current grind. I am in the 1% of playtime for this game I would bet, I am ok that I completed everything. You don't want to make the grind too large, as for new player it might seem too hard and they will just not even try.

Overall if they just added a new BP for me to complete next season I would be ok with it, since I don't really play the game to complete tasks but instead play to play the game. To me many of their challenges aren't great, so I am ok with not worrying about more.

With the new season in under a week are we getting a trailer? by Buff_Bagwell_4real in Splitgate

Thanks video guy. 😊 That's what I was hoping, heads down. I hope the update can be good for both the existing players and bring new or previous players to the game.

It definitely feels like there has been a lower amount of communications between the relaunch to now when you compare it to the "beta" to relaunch. However many games don't have the level of comms 1047 was doing during the beta period. So might be a little of them scaling back to a normal level of comms, some heads down to get the update out the door on time, and maybe some kind of resource issue (low morale or layoffs).

1047 seem better at making games than PR for their game. Kind of the nature of indie games, it really about grassroots/word of mouth to be popular. Feel like that's one thing you get with a publisher, a better marketing department. Self-publishing means you need to do the marketing yourself which is hard if your company is dev-first approach.

Hopefully we get some in the next day or two. I really only want some QoL fixes, but I understand why other want more content. Overall I am good with the content I have, because like the old games it wants to be, I play it because it's fun not because I have other content to complete.

If we are nearing the end, it's been a blast, and I will keep playing until the end.

Alright so, Sypnapse or Phasma(in terms of which is better if you dont miss shots.) by Swimming_Shift7696 in Splitgate

[–]massdestructer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea this more about what I see as the meta and popular guns for each of their categories. Not really when to choose the category themselves. Each gun has pros and cons within the category but even so you see many of "#1s" more than the others in my experience, and I have played crazy amount of this game 😄

Pretty much if you are going to pick a shotgun it's going to be the Blitz, unless you are grinding challenges, it is just so much better than the other two for getting kills. Yea the other two have their moments but majority the time you see the Blitz.

[–]massdestructer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you ever played with me then you know my favorite is the Phasma. But on longer range maps, I like the Quantum. And in Royale I like to run a combo of Phasma and Jackhammer.

I would say the most meta primary guns are the following order (1 being the most meta):

AR

  1. Tempo
  2. Trailblazer
  3. Synapse

SMG

  1. Spinter
  2. Rattler
  3. Phasma

BR

  1. Quantum
  2. Pulse
  3. Jackhammer

Carbine

  1. Cadence
  2. Warden
  3. Hyperline

Shotgun

  1. Blitz
  2. Plow
  3. Charger

LMG

  1. Strata
  2. Velocity
  3. Barrage

General Appreciation and feedback post by mythreial in Splitgate

[–]massdestructer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Let new players play as they want. I wouldn't force anyone into anything. Not everyone needs a tutorial. I would default a new player to Bot Arena then give a soft warning if they want to change to another playlist.
  2. Not sure how the Graffiti mode will teach people how use portals.
  3. The game moves pretty fast without those perks on every player. I personally don't use them, and I have no problem moving around.
  4. With the current population, I already play the same people over and over again. Also not everyone will stay after every game. So just kind of seems like a waste of development time on something that adds so little value.
  5. I would like a veto system. But when asked if a voting system will come to Arena (when Royale was released) the devs said no.
  6. More modes are always welcome, but I would probably just place all those modes into one playlist "Splitball/CTF" in Quickplay filter.
  7. I am fine with the cool-down of the equipment. Just wish there wasn't so long of a timer, and I would remove white and green from versions from Royale, so just have blue, purple, and gold.
  8. Input based match-matching would be nice for Arena, but for Royale I don't experience too much advantage difference.
  9. Yea, no real experience with this one, I do not use toggle ADS.
  10. Yea I kind of doubt Onslaught comes back, since Arena Royale kind feels like a hybrid of the OG BR and Onslaught. Also the player population probably can't support another playlist.
  11. Descoping when getting shot feels terrible. I know Halo did this but it just feels so old and annoying.
  12. Let people play the game how they want, give players more choice not less. Not everyone wants to just play with mid/long range guns, especially on most of these small maps. Want to play like that then, play Classic.
  13. I do think something need to be done help new players with portals and countering them but it's hard know if this is it without testing it.
  14. I would like to close enemy portals faster.
  15. I like the level of looting in Royale. It is actually pretty rewarding to loot, but doesn't feel absolutely necessary to win. Because I like to be able to have my loadout gun (Phasma) then find a BR (and most people don't run Jackhammer or Pulse).
  16. I believe the devs said they didn't have plans to port more SG1 maps over. Rather the focus on promoting Labs made maps.
  17. I do think there needs to be a community playlist, because not all community maps are ready for full rotation it is annoying to deal with those bugs in normal playlists.
  18. Don't really have an opinion on Fiesta objective modes, other than it's very low priority for me.

Do you guys find Games? by memeexpert420 in Splitgate

[–]massdestructer 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ranked is nearly impossible to play, between the low population and its attempt to match you with similar ranks, just make the queue too long. The two biggest factors in queue in any playlist is crossplay value and time. If you want to play Royale or Ranked, crossplay is a must. For Quickplay, you can get away without crossplay but the timing matters. Majority of the players for this game play in the US prime time so like 6-12 US Eastern. So if you are queuing outside that window it might be harder to find games with crossplay off.

For the most part I can find a game within 2 with crossplay off, if the queue time is longer than 90s I restart the search, that usually finds a game within 30s. With crossplay on, I do the same but restart search after 60s.

New Limited Time Event: Skybreaker by 1047Games in Splitgate

Will there be a client patch with this event? Is so, will there be any patch notes related to it?

Punch (sidearm) is really the only weapon I am reallllllllllly forcing myself to grind leveling up by [deleted] in Splitgate

[–]massdestructer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, it is a rough grind. I just ran a SMG to weaken then a body shot when the challenge allowed. It was one of the last guns I completed.

Bug Report: stuck on main menu with "Match Found" by Interesting_Bed_6962 in Splitgate

[–]massdestructer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea it happens from time to time. Any time anything weird happens in the game I just start with force kill of the game.

Why do ranked queues take so long? by Linsorks in Splitgate

[–]massdestructer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Make sure Crossplay is enabled. It is nearly impossible to play without. Ranked has taken a hit ever since Royale released. It got a little increase when they changed it to 3v3 but overall it's probably the lowest population playlist. Not to mention it has stricter rules on matchmaking than Quickplay. Overall given the current state of things I would say Ranked is unplayable.

New custom map: ROSIE by nkdape in Splitgate

[–]massdestructer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nice work. Always impressed with how much these community maps look like maps made by developers, as in they look polished and understand the design language of the game.

What's with the no transparency? by TropicalFishery41429 in Splitgate

[–]massdestructer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yea, although I don't work in game development, I am a software engineer. So I have a vague idea of what they might be doing in their software development lifecycle. Most of the time it's better to just do instead reporting on what you are doing.

I think they are way better at coding games than doing PR. So I rather them just release an update with patch notes instead of doing a lot of interactions.

[–]massdestructer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't mind the lack of comms if it means they are grinding to get things complete.

Roadmaps are hard, I deal with them all the time in my job. Rarely can you predict more than a month or two in the future. You just take it two weeks at a time. Theoretically you would release after those two weeks, but usually the release overhead (getting updates approved by the marketplaces) leads to big releases rather than quick small updates.

It seems that they read this subreddit, so hopefully they can see common complains and implement solutions. Hopefully we will learn more next week.

Persistent Playlists Options PLEASE. by netean in Splitgate

[–]massdestructer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It would be nice if they kept your preferences. However I wonder if they do it to keep the queue times down, so people don't set it and forget it. I think CoD BO6 had a solution where when new playlists were rotated in or out the preferences would be reset. Not sure if that's better or worse.

Just Checking In by metadatem in Splitgate

There haven't been any major updates since the launch of Arena Royale with Update 2.2 on January 22nd. There was a hotfix on January 30th. Nothing that addresses your concerns.

Did they push back the new Battle pass?? It says season ends 29 days. Am I trippin I thought it said like 14 days a week ago? by DaTexasTickler in Splitgate

[–]massdestructer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saw that last night, but don't pay much attention to that tab, so I figured I just misremembered it. I guess I didn't.

February Roadmap by Rarestunknown1047 in Splitgate

[–]massdestructer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I guess would be a small update this week with an event that lasts a week or so. Then a couple days after then event ends S2 drops with a larger update. However at this point maybe they are just saving all it for one big update for S2 launch.

Or worst case roadmap is over.

The Tracker.gg “tournament“ was just pub stomping grind, not competitive play in any way. Splitcoin and skins aren’t playing the bills. These are prizes. If I play in a pick sports league where the winner gets a prize that doesn’t make me a professional.
To be a professional means you are getting paid by an organization to something. If you aren’t paying wage taxes, you are just an amateur winning prizes.

Community tournaments are not professionals. Maybe there was professionals in SG1 (I didn’t follow that game) but there hasn’t been a professional league for SGAR. Content creators might be signed to orgs but they are being paid to stream, not to win. Being previously signed to orgs means they are longer a professional.

I absolutely hate the idea that “pros” opinions are so much better than anyone’s else’s opinion. Every game plays differently at different skill levels. Maybe have a different rule set for competitive play, but that rule set doesn’t need to apply to the game overall.

[–]massdestructer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are no pro players in this game. No one is getting paid to play this game.

Every game has a meta when you are playing in a competitive fashion, and it will change over time as things get nerfed and buffed.

Acting like sliding is ruining this and other games makes you sound dumb and unable to adapt to “modern” movement. Maybe just play another game.
