good, I was about to join and would be mad if the maintenance thing lasted for longer lol

Thoughts on weapon balancing.

  • AR should melt from close range. But needs a nerf from mid range. Way too powerful. It shouldn’t be able to beat a pistol or AR from midrange. Testing it in the gunrange and it confirms it kills faster at mid range than the pistol and BR.

  • needler is almost impossible to dodge. It’s also very hard to tell when ur getting hit. I think I’m dodging almost everything but then I explode. Maybe a nerf to it’s tracking ability.

  • correct me if I’m wrong. But I’ve noticed that when headshoting a no shielded guy with pistol it takes 2 shots. Should only be one.

  • think the sniper is perfect. Happy that you can’t take 2 consecutive shots super quick, it was overpowered. Also like that it only comes with 8 shots.

  • I’ve seen someone say BR needs a buff, but I disagree. I pick that thing up and it’s lights out.

Other non balancing thoughts

  • power weapons shouldn’t respawn till last one is gone and the 3 minutes has elapsed since the first one spawned. Was using hammer and the new one spawned.
  • could not see how long camo lasts once picking it up.
  • spawning needs work. I can excuse bad spawning on live fire because it is so small. But I shouldn’t see enemies spawn on the bigger map.

Overall I’m enjoying it a lot. A lot of minor things need to be fixed and quite a few are probably just in the game for non ranked. No huge problems which is great. Game is better the more I play it.

Today my biggest gripe was how difficult it was to MUTE others in my game.

I had to go to their gamer tag and mute from there. The one team menu has no options to mute others. The other menu I found with them had option to Mute All but it did NOT work. Some one was blaring their music of choice with vulgar lyrics where it overshadowed all other game audio. Since I had to jump through so many hoops and I hate inconsiderate players, I reported them too. Hope they enjoy their circumstances.

Probably it was not me, but a bunch of people had to suffer me singing during one match :sweat_smile: Changed headset and I did not notice my mic was unmuted. Default setting is open mic… which is not the default setting at all on nowadays games; also, UI has no indication that you are talking… so it might be hard for some people to notice.

The grapple is so fun to use

Alright, so it’s not just me, but I thought the interface was a bit confusing to tell who’s speaking and who’s not. They show the Speaker/Audio icon next to everyone, then show the icon with line through it if you don’t have a MIC connected. I think they show that same icon if the person is MUTED. Where as in other games like Gears, they only show the Speaker/Audio icon when a person is talking.

fucking hell, the day 2 update has broken the game for me, literally crashing left and right. :frowning:

Oh damn. No problem on Series X. The game is pretty stable for me.

They keeping the bots when it it launches?

of course lol, in fact this test will only make the bots better and better for launch.

So is it going to be a mode, PvE or something. I much prefer it than PvP I’m too old and matchmaking is always terrible in every online shooter

Does anyone else accidentally melee when aiming with the Sniper Rifle. I don’t know if it’s just me but happens a lot to me. Like the melee (right stick click) is super sensitive?

Really hoping the DMR gets introduced soon

I miss that bad Larry
