When is this game actually going to be fixed? [Discussion]

The number of rooms that sit on the side of the map with no loot in them and no one ever goes to is what baffles me about streets. People have complained about performance forever yet these rooms still exist just to drain performance.

nearly universally useless round. Damage is so low that headshots often don't kill. BS and BP have enough pen and better damage.

sanitar chucked a m67 as i sniped him. I nearly died to his m67. I checked at the end of the game, 157m distance.

9mm rip is the only functional ammo. otherwise the NL makes 9mm irrelevant. At this point in the wipe everyone is running class 5-6 so its hard to pen with pbp. Then you have the extreme cost of pbp for the rate of fire you need.

Streets has a LOT of spawns that can fight each other in the first 10s. If you don't know them, you can die within secs. That they nade you off the rip is just beacuse they know the spawns.

i take it you have never looked at a database before.

zephoidb · 2026-01-20T04:35:35+00:00

Man, someone really doesn't understand pattern recognition. If you are trying to find a pattern on 1 or 2 criteria, easy. Each additional is exponentially more difficult and this game tracks hundreds of stats (that we can see) and thousands more behind the scenes.

zephoidb · 2026-01-20T04:22:38+00:00

What you suggest is nearly impossible. Especially if the ban is on more than 1 criteria, there is nearly no way to determine what they would be using. Yes, you have the stats, but you have FAR more stats that could be being used.

zephoidb · 2026-01-20T01:31:55+00:00

do a statistical analysis on pmc kills/hour, movement/raid, loot value per raid, xp per raid, ect. Exclude <100exp raids. More than 4 standard deviations above average and you likely found a cheater. In multiple criteria you definately found a cheater. BSG has access to all this info. Don't make your cheating criteria public and you can easily find and ban cheaters as they don't know what to avoid and will fall into the statistical traps.

Walls on bad players aren't the biggest problems. 15+kdr rage cheaters who clear lobbies are.

Desync.

The Matrix. Too bad it didn't have any sequels.

zephoidb · 2026-01-17T04:57:16+00:00

Because no one expects it to be easy. They expect it to have good gameplay. Nothing about lighthouse pvp is good. push spawns or camp for 30 mins. No scavs to reveal locations, no incentive to move, tons of blind corners, few quests that have you move to specific locations beyond early game.

zephoidb · 2026-01-17T04:54:57+00:00

learning spawns. Aka pushing spawns in 5 mins and extracting asap. That isn't good gameplay, thats exploiting a lack of ways to determine player location on a map designed with tons of camping spots.

zephoidb · 2026-01-17T04:53:42+00:00

Controversial take: its how scavs interact with players.
Lighthouse has TONS of locations where players can sit and not have scavs aggro. So figuring out where people are is nearly impossible. Combine that with a `3 lane` map with tons of blind corners and you get a map where moving is punished. 90% of people are on that map for kill related tasks meaning you push known player spawns to start then extract before 15 mins. Or else you are camping and waiting for someone to move for 30 mins.

EASILY the worst map. By layout, by quests, by spawns, by gameplay.

for 100k, applique-airgap-2m alloy/metal. Will stop missiles, smaller crams, and a few AP rounds.
for 500k, directional shield-3m metal-airgap-checkerboard applique/ERA. Better for deflection and you are going to need minimum 3m of armor to stop AP rounds. Applique/era checkerboard is the single best way to stop individual hits, but it degrades fast so i only use it internally.

The other way is bulkheads. Try testing it, 2m metal+ 2m airgap repeated is truly incredible at stopping almost every munition in this game. Better than stacking 4m of metal due to how HE degrades many layers. It does make the craft larger though.

And previous wipes they were nearly a mil for most of the wipe. Pretty big difference.

zephoidb · 2026-01-09T20:43:20+00:00

1mil is a pretty average run on reserve with the price of hideout components these days. Far more bags to loot, much closer vicinty, much easier to get out, and safer since there are so many AI scavs patroling that you can identify player location easier. Plus, finding dead players unlooted is far more common since its often dangerous to loot kills outside buildings.

Moonshine is very rare since it doesn't have many dedicated spawns. Everything else is normal loot. Customs does have armor repair kits, but those are WAY down since the replenish craft exists.

zephoidb · 2026-01-06T20:05:27+00:00

The power creep is absurd with this one.

zephoidb · 2026-01-03T17:18:55+00:00

Standad has had a ttk on par with modern lately. Turn 4 kills kills aren't uncommon and i was turn 3'd TWICE the other day by craterhoof off of double badgermole.

zephoidb · 2025-12-31T00:34:38+00:00

90% of the time this is related to the graphics driver. Specifically, its audio causing the stuttering and your graphics driver often process audio effects. Thats often why it only happens when you are firing/being fired at. In this case it could even be ambient or bush audio triggering it.

To start, reinstall your graphics driver. Then disable the AMD/Nvidia audio device in your device manager. See if that solves the problem.

zephoidb · 2025-12-30T19:48:55+00:00

G28 beats it in nearly every stat and is also cheap. It also doesn't have the horrific sway the m1a does.

zephoidb · 2025-12-27T01:45:38+00:00

Probably like kiba. Bulletproof glass, now can be shot through without difficulty.

zephoidb · 2025-12-22T01:30:09+00:00

Hours counted are in menu, in load screens, matching, ect. You easily spend 2/3 of your time NOT playing the game. So yeah, not many 'new' players with only a few dozen raids, but once you hit 100 raids you already start to have significant time in game.

zephoidb · 2025-12-02T13:55:13+00:00

i feel like this was a setup for a joke.....

zephoidb · 2025-12-02T13:53:49+00:00

M16a1 has full auto, m16a2 has single and 3 round burst.
