>ISEUL-T header
BASED OP. We got shafted so hard from getting our team's ad video 3/4 of the way into the season when they got theirs before it even launched. On another note, how the fuck am I supposed to earn Fans when rates are so jumbled? Bank It gives the most compared to any mode I play, but I want the WT/ranked rewards too. Fuck, I'm barely half way with Fans (little under 81k) and I've played almost every day since the season started. I don't know how I can possibly get to 168k without grinding my ass off in 22 days.

>apex moved to on /vm/ now

Holtow players are evil

Finished soloqueing to emerald 1 in WT, now doing ranked. How high should I be able to reasonably get alone? I'm at gold 2 atm and it mostly feels easy so far, not winning every match but I'm frequently topfragging.

I really hope it's not just taking the shitty bamboo jungle from Kyoto and making that 500% more annoying

>>1508770
ye and more water because thats such a fun mechanic in a movement shooter

>>1508821
Kyoto is such a fuckin awful map and it sucks that it's in ranked

>>1508915
I have more of an issue with Vegas despite it all, Kyoto's interiors are pretty fun to navigate, the way Vegas is set up makes it really annoying for heavy and light to navigate imo

>>1509066
I don't gel with that. For a Heavy on Kyoto, a lot of the interiors are simultaneously too open and too tight, without even talking about how quickly things often get dumped into the fukken rage cage. You rely a lot on Charge, but that's got limited uses on timer, or you can take Hammer, but then you're fucked for those huge exteriors and all the fukken WATER. You also can get fucked more by the multiple levels, as being on the floor is even more of a troubling killbox than normal, thanks largely in part to the limited positioning of stairs and ladders.

Vegas, you usually get at least some slot machines, large open hallways usually have some bit of wall on the sides to duck behind, or all the shit + easily accessible levels of the parking garage, and the only place where you're really kind of in an awkward place is that one backstage. Even the exteriors are better. Running across the streets is an exciting drive, as you don't spend as much time out in the open, the flatter ground works better with setting up defenses and traversal (also makes it kinda feel like Heat when you're getting into gunfights), and you often can duck into some sort of kiosk or stage for cover. Not to mention the rooftops often let you travel far as an alternative for the roofs, and similarly give you shit like air conditioners to hide against + the inherent ability to smash into the "ground" and be inside.

>>1509087
The way Vegas is designed generally speaking favors being able to control longer horizontal sightlines. Every other map has more prevalent fast flanking routes, on Vegas if you don't have fast breaches on hand it ends up being a massive pain to outmaneuver something. It's only about as much of a problem for me on Kyoto when you have suspended platforms over the ponds or something.

That's just how I feel though

>>1509092
The thing is, I just feel that Heavy is more equipped to handle that with Vegas than the various other challenges he'd face on Kyoto. I could see Vegas being more trouble for Light, as while they'd still benefit from the aforementioned cover and such of Vegas, they wouldn't have the strong staying power and would easily risk being routed/railed as they try to keep cover in such things. With Heavy though, I'd think he can still kinda handle that in a generalist sense, and he's also just more inclined to take gadgets and such that outright can let him control horizontal spaces. Even though historically, one would point to the fact that Heavy needs people to get in close while the other classes could hang back and shoot farther across such spaces.

>>1509087
From what I remember a lot of players seemed to dislike vegas heavily, I assume it's only the same thing with kyoto in that proper strategies have yet to be devised.

>>1509066
>the way Vegas is set up makes it really annoying for heavy and light to navigate imo
Gateway/hook/charge and slam can fix it.

Las vegas was never that bad, kyoto in other hand is PURE SHIT

Kyoto is fine if you have an X3D CPU

>>1509272
Kyoto just feels more fundamentally fucked. Designwise, it's such a departure from the layout and speed of other maps, and it does have inherent flaws that make it terrible to play with a lot of gadgets. Like a HUGE part of the game is being able to use goo quickly and effectively, but you are absolutely fucked beyond belief with trying to use Goo in the vast majority of the map on Kyoto.

>>1509565
kyoto is very very fun for grapple hook because of all the opportunities to exploit verticality

Until Embark fixes this shit, I am not playing. It happened to me two games in a row. Getting shit on by a buggy Riot Shield is gay af.
I immediately went back to Apex Legends.

I won't spend money on this game anymore.

>>1510249
So it's not just me? Is there something going on with the riot shield that's causing it to just make you fucking invincible?

lol that shit happens even without riot shield.

What is it with casual game modes being filled with sweats recently? You could hop into quick trash and powershift to play with goofy shit but now everyone is out for blood

>>1510453
Last 3 weeks of the season so the only people still playing are sweats and retards trying to stay on top of a leaderboard no one cares about. Every fucking game is like this but its real bad with The FInals considering how annoying faggots are with third partying and doubling cashouts.

If you play Light class and go 0-2 the first two fights, I automatically throw.

I wanna say the servers themselves have just been fucked up as of late. I main riot shield and can tell you, the desync'd hit boxes screwed me more often than help. I can literally put up my shield and still get nailed from a guy. And no, its not just them shooting at my feet either. I will say its weird to see a guy run right at you instead of diagonally. I know a lot of people are picking it up because they won the skin during halloween, but any seasoned player knows thats an easy way to get murdered. Whole thing just seems suspicious.

I don't think I've ever played a game where there was such a skill disparity between people in the same rank. Some games I'll get gold 1/plat 4/3 ranks that have amazing game sense and can win their 1v1s most of the time. Then I get people that can't aim, lose track of people that just peel left or right, and just have a general lack of situational awareness.

There's a huge penalty for losses in general. If a random but competent new player solo queues, there's no saying what ranks he'll queue with. There's no consistency for ranks from match to match, and so you can have people entire tiers above and below. Because of that inconsistency, as well as the major cuts to rank for losses, it's easy to juggle between
>perma-locked with incompetent teammates against entire teams (basically 1v3v3)
>facing big-dick ranks when you and your teammates are significantly lower
It's my view that a lot of the alleged disparity between people of the same or similar rank has to do with their initial games being lucky (not shit teammates) or outright being carried by friends so they're not in bad rankings outright. This game just does not handle ranked or dead games (the ones where asshole teammates suddenly leave immediately, grief, afk, etc) effectively.

What’s the meta guns?
Buddy of mine is really effective with the throwing knives and I’m really good with the V9S, but seemingly get throttled by shotguns a lot, yet when I use them it takes 4 or more shots at close range as opposed to enemies fucking me up at distance?

How do you anons feel about the pacing of both BP leveling and Fans acquisition (for the Sponsors path) this season? I feel like it's way grindier than last season. At the very least, the discrepancy between modes for exp and fans earned is noticeable (Bank it easily gives the most, even compared to WT or Quick Cash). I played almost daily and finished slews of challenges (majority of all of them) but my stats as of now are only:
>Level 97, about 30k/100k to the next level
>About 92k/96k Fans for the current stage, with the final number required for all the rewards being 168k (76k more fans required)
We only have a little more than two weeks remaining. Don't know if it'll be achievable without no-lifing it. No game, even with a BP, should require you to play that much to finish a pass or core gameplay path.

I played the game every day for like 3-4 tournament matches and have finished the BP and the sponsors. I even took a cumulative 2 weeks off during this season and I still managed to do it. Completed most contracts by accident too.

Thanks

>>1512518
I guess I've played less, but that seems like a big time sink. That's 9-12 matches every day. Say every game is 10 minutes or so, that's easily 1.5-2 hrs a day. Well, I've done 3-6 matches each day, so I suppose the pacing makes sense, but still, needing to play that much every day is a bit much of a time sink in my opinion. Maybe ranked tournaments offer more than WT or Bank It?

>>1512528
It's more counted by gained xp. If I play daily, I get the daily xp contracts and then the cumulative rest from the actual match/my performance.

Fans work in some other bullshit way, people used to farm fans by standing in gas and healing eachother, but they patched that. Rule of thumb is that support score seems to increase fans more than anything.

>>1512532
>Rule of thumb is that support score seems to increase fans more than anything.
I main a healer medium, but I don't think I gain that much. Didn't they note something about nerfing or even disabling outright all exp/fan gains from support? Feels bad.

>>1512523
There's a reason why ranked is dead and takes like 5 minutes to find a match.

>>1512556
Yeah they nerfed how much you could get from the heal beam which is silly

>>1512559
It's really bad this season, I'd gladly take S2's esoteric system rather than the RS system

>>1512576
Are there any other particular sources of Support points that you'd recommend besides heal beams so I get more Fans?

>>1512582
Barricades on powershift are lotta score

>>1512434
The last 2 "bonus pages" of the BP are supposed to feel super grindy, they're there to reward the nolifers like me.

>>1512582
they changed the system, you get them much easier now
you get more fans if you are the best performing on your team, and i think maybe it counts against other teams too
like at the endgame screen where the best stats are in yellow - try to have the most overall

WT has the best xp/fans overall

This game is committing the exact same mistake from other nexon title that died like KartRider, we have to wait another entire fucking season for new features and fixes, a new map and maybe some balance changes is understandable but we dont have to wait a entire fucking season for small stuff like jukeboxes or performance updates, that shit killed that game

>>1513497
what about them? i dont know what im looking at

>>1512583
Thanks anon, I got pretty great score and resulting fans this way. I think little under 900 Fans for 6.6k Support score or so. EXP was decent as well.

>>1513544
Uh what do you mean? There are weekly updates with small things including performance updates and bug fixes, plus they keep throwing in random events in the middle of the season like the Halloween thing we just had.

>>1513576
happy to hear it worked for you

>>1513742
nta but let's be real, it took them how many weeks before the cl40 nerf? I also wouldn't call the halloween event an event, it was pretty lame. For how shit the previos events were, at the very least, they had restricted loadouts with a gimmick theme. So far WT has made it lame or straightup shit with stuff like the primetime buff which went to further incentivize the currently awful "plugging" meta

>>1513791
>"plugging" meta
?

>>1513791
>it took them how many weeks before the cl40 nerf?
2 actually, how is that unreasonable, it got nerfed in the second update after the buff.
>I also wouldn't call the halloween event an event, it was pretty lame. For how shit the previos events were, at the very least, they had restricted loadouts with a gimmick theme
But the amount of cosmetic content you could unlock was pretty comparable if not higher than in those other events.

>>1513791
another meme event like steal the spotlight would be neat, agreed

Famas is probably the best medium weapon all around now. It's only bad at super long ranges where most weapons suck anyway. Pike is worse than LH1 in almost every single stat, and frankly idk how they could make it viable without being OP. Model is still strong I guess, I just prefer to be able to do stuff at range.

>>1513821
Getting the initial cash insert money reward is usually more important than actually securing the cash. If you secure 2 cashouts, you can simply plug the others and you'll usually be fine. If you really wanna be a dick, you can double cashout on the strongest team and force a moshpit fight where you stand back and pick off any straggler that tries to steal it from them.

>>1513829
>2 actually, how is that unreasonable, it got nerfed in the second update after the buff.
what about the pike
and no, not counting the first patch where they straight up said "we still think it's op"

>But the amount of cosmetic content you could unlock was pretty comparable if not higher than in those other events.
Ok let's compare for a sec

Its a 11 damage nerf, barely a love tap, and in turn they made the spread tighter. So they really didn't do shit, might of made it better. Model doesn't really need to be nerfed, other things need to be buffed up in relation to it.

True, but it can't 2 shot mediums anymore

I long for the day when they get rid of fucking visual recoil/weapon sway in this game. Aiming with the revolver is complete ass even with the red dot because follow-up shots are exceedingly hard to track if you don't wait longer than the minimum firerate pause, which is a dumb limitation since you're already limiting your fov and speed by ADSing.

I keep getting these really bossy sweats in my quick cash matches. Heavy begins the game by shit talking our light teammate saying he's gonna likely be worthless, but he'll give him a chance. Proceeds to pick a point and stay put while we fetch the box, then gets mad when he dies. Light has racked up 5 kills at this point to his 1 with zero for objective score. Afterwards he focuses his attention to me saying I should switch weapons because I have 1 kill and like 4 assist (light finished them off). Guy eventually rage quits (still with 1 elimination, 0 assist, and 0 objective score) and we struggle through with a 2v3v3 getting a filler teammate in the last 2 minutes. We ended up winning the game, but god what a piece of shit. Quick cash is casual as fuck, where are these guys coming from?

>>1515261
Quick cash is filled to the brim with tryhards these days. I'll also never understand how anyone would find getting third partied constantly to be fun.

I can't possibly be the only one having an actually good experience soloqueueing in ranked, right? Almost at diamond having only started ranked this season a few weeks ago, most of the time it feels like my team is good enough that own performance is what makes it or breaks it, like usually losses are my fault and easy wins come when I'm doing well.

>>1515807
What time you play? Also congrats I guess, you don't find the guys that go "dude trust I can play light" and then throw

They finally rolled out RS rank adjustments and i've seen dudes that lost 10k RS

friend of mine lost 2.4k, he was so close to getting ruby what the fuck are they doing

>>1515829
At night/late afternoon NA during weekdays and at random on weekends. I did get a few throwers like people who leave or go afk early on, but overall my experience has been pretty positive and largely dependent on me not being as much of an inconsistent shitter as I tend to be.

>>1515830
I assume that means rolling back rank changes from games that had cheaters in them, right? That's actually good imo.

>>1515833
Yeah but in theory, you'd get rewarded RS for loosing to a cheater. Yet many actually LOST RS from loosing from a cheater.

>>1515832
Can't comment since late evening EU is aids, don't know much about NA
I got a few decent soloques with randos but it's a gamble nobody should run past 34k, especially since getting calls is very important

>>1515866
IDK how it's supposed to work but to me it makes sense if they just completely nullify a tournament that had a cheater in it, including potential gains if you qualified but the cheater wasn't in your team.

>>1516017
Sounds like bullshit, it just invalidates everything at that point. Why do it so close to the season end, fucking over many people that grinded? Some people lost quite a lot of RS.

The ranked system FUCKING SUCKS

>>1516072
Because Embark clearly never cared about ranked and always just focus on haha crazy over the top destruction game, so now they're slapping this shit together because ADHD nutsacks can't play just to have fun, they have to have a number go up, and that number has to say they're better than other number.

>>1515866
if there was a cheater on your team you lose RS
pretty simple concept

"but there wasnt a cheater on my team"
people toggle cheats

>>1516237
retarded take. ranked was there since beta.. it was built as a competitive game
the devs knew it would be impossible to balance so they instead of trying in any meaningful way they just say its not meant about the competition but the fun. but what its really about is selling suckers like you skins.

>>1516314
Of course, the ranked-brain retard would spout half-baked ESL babble about strawmen. If only you had half the braincells to move on and realize the game isn't meant for mongoloids such as yourself.

you're just mad that you're bad.
sad many such cases.

I'm tired of getting griefed out of matches because some faggots decided that you don't get the priviledge to rank up. It legit was never this bad in the previous seasons. They just camp out the cashout and steal your plug and boom, 30% money. It comes to a point where they have enough money to mathematically be safe even if they wipe, yet they still decide to be dickheads and ruin everyone's match.

If that were true, you should've been able to hold off their theft, given that they're so weak and you just need to run out the clock. Even with the frontrunners getting on your ass, the benefits of such a situation to your positioning and such means even that shouldn't be an issue.

One win away from diamond, even 2nd place would do it, so I assume I'm about to have a 10 loss streak, right?

>>1522510
that's how it goes usually

https://www.reachthefinals.com/patchnotes/s5teaser

2 new weapons, 2 new gadgets, 1 new map.

Does Power Shift no longer give good Fans gains for Support or OBJ points? I basically soloed the entire match myself with over 7k Support and 2 or 3k OBJ, and didn't even get 400 fans. Because I only got 4 kills?

Will this fucking place make a Group/Club/Clan?

So, how feasible would it be to earn 50k fans and go from level 100 to 108 within these last nine days? XP and Fans games seems low as usual...I'm not feeling the XP or fans boost at all for some reason.

>>1522738
Man, ISEUL-T looking even worse than before. At least this time you can actually wear the ISEUL-T face mask with the ISEUL-T bucket hat (Brought to you by ISEUL-T, Fashionable AND Practical), but they're gonna get absolutely thrashed by Vaiiya and Dissun.

Although that's quite the tossup. There's a lot of Dissun stuff I could use the new pieces with, but there's also never enough white items. Guess itdepends on if it's a white that'll go with what's already in the game.

120hz support on console? What framerate does this game usually get on consoles?

>>1522966
I wonder how the fuck are they gonna make it run on a PS4, even my shit PC has betters specs

>>1522738

hell yeah, I miss the season one tunes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpJ4W0x9np8

>>1522954
As an ISEUL-T appreciator, the preview of their gear isn't that intriguing imo. Looks like a twink UK street chav. I guess Dissun's stuff would be nice since we were able to get their helmet and gloves from events or whatever it was. Anyway, I'm confused by this statement:
>If you’re signing up with ISEUL-T for the second time, you’ll have access to a second tier of their high fashion reward track!
So...loyalty cosmetics exclusive to people who picked them this season? Or, justa poorly worded "it's round 2, folks"?

>>1522954
>>1523207
Hope the rewards aren't ass like they were this season (honestly, Holtow mogged pretty much every other sponsor).

Vaiiya looks probably the better one, but dissun doesn't look bad either.

>>1522738
It honestly doesn't really hype me much. Grav vortex and anchor sound really annoying to fight, items that restrict movement are really unfun. Heavy rifle looks very intresting though.

>>1523212
ISEUL-T was only held back by the fact that the face mask isn't compatible with hats. Really hope they patch that.

>>1522738
>Nerf medium shotgun
>Everyone goes back to whatever assault is the best (again)
>They add a new medium shotgun

Chances on it being busted?

>>1523574
People didn't switch to guns like the FAMAS because of any changes to the shotgun. They did it because they're the best bet for clinching up any leftover challenges regarding headshots. The automatics rail them like crazy, and the FAMAS get your 35m ones like it's nobody's business.

>>1522792
bank it is the way

>>1523588
That's what I'm discovering. Starting to make good gains, comfortably in the 1,000s of Fans per match, as well as decent EXP. Only problem is if I get into cruddy lobbies with trolls or humanoid bots. Need to find people who just want to party up for the XP bonus and no-mic steamroll Bank It lobbies.

>>1523574
>new shotgun
>incendiary
This will be a headache to balance
It's the only weapon so far that can apply an effect like that and not be restricted by range. I assume it will have better range than the flame thrower.

>>1523580
Not really, FAMAS has incredibly good hipfire and if your aim is decent, you beam people at most midranges.

>>1523764
It might be pretty good for securing kills and finishing off low HP people. Even if the projectile damage itself has massive falloff, being able to set anyone alight from range means they will take a couple of DoT ticks and die if they're weak.

>>1523051
Hopefully it means the season will come with a big optimization pass or at least new lower settings options for potatoes. I have a pretty decent setup but I do wish I could stay above 200fps ALL the time without dips into the 170s/160s on occasion.

Do levels 102-106 take more than 100k EXP each? I'm only on level 100. Making decent EXP in bank-it solo queuing, but 8 days seems rough.

>>1525093
we were only 300 cash away too, if we got one kill we would have been second regardless of steal

fml

>>1525118
actually looking back on the recording, we should have just let them take the point earlier, we had 30k before wipe loss. Lesson learned, don't be greedy

I played at release and eventually stopped playing because I got tired of the meta just being lights on crack zipping up your ass while everyone else got nerfs instead for some reason

Are things better now?

>>1525487
If you complained about lights you'll never enjoy the game.

>>1525505
cloak tazer never stopped being giga cancer?

>>1525564
Light sucks. They filter shitters. Cloak is such a non issue. Tazer only stops melee along with everything else in the game. Medium has been the cancer of the game since day 1.

>>1525574
>tazer only stops melee
well I liked playing melee faggot

>>1525580
Yeah I do too. I only play sledge or sword and both of them get completely turned off by just the threat of stun gun. Melee has not gotten any better for light. In fact it's been nerfed. Heavy got a hook that reels in enemies that makes sledge better for straight killing people but dash lights and anyone who camps rooftops can still just gun your ass down.

>>1525118
More often than not I've been on teams where we collectively decide if we can't win then we make sure to bring down a team with us that is especially annoying. Not saying thats the case, but it wouldn't surprise me if that happened. I've played against teams of triple lights who were menaces to all parties involved tea bagging left and right. I'm sure everyone was grateful we dragged their asses down into the depths.

>>1525487
No

>>1525574
Tazer is very annoying, it was a non issue when they made it so you could use specs but now you're kinda fucked if you get tazed. Giving the M11 a red dot was a mistake

>>1525574
>Tazer only stops melee
Taser is a blight on precision weapons and close-ranged shotguns as well. Only automatics make it in the clear, and even then I'd say the machine guns can suffer based on their spray patterns and such.

>>1525602
I do that all the time too

>play with randos
>Win or 2nd place
>Play with premades and people on smurfs
>Loose last place
We lost 3 fucking times in a row with a guy who has his main on 42k RS. We couldn't even win quick cash after I got 13 kills and everyone's aggro on me.

Lost more than I'd gained in a single day of grinding, in about 2 hours, poof, gone. If this keep happening, I'm simply not reaching diamond before the season ends

>>1525852
desu it's always been the case: people who play in premades, consciously or not, often start fucking around because they expect their teammates to either be more understanding or more willing to adapt to whatever the fuck they're doing. Randos often suck ass, but anyone good works around the public social contract more, especially since the lack of text chat early on encouraged such things.

>>1517139
there's plenty of fun to be had in the other options as well, riot shield is a great time, so is smokes+thermal vision. I like the grappling hook more than the dash though, it just feels a lot smoother.

>>1525602
Even then, stealing that cashout didn't even get them 3rd place, so they got like, 100-200 rs from it. Orange just didn't want us in the next round but apparently they'd rather fight an MMM stack.

Why did they nerf the XP so much? When was it ever an issue? It seems to be worse than the M11 in most situations now.

>>1525852
Sometimes you just don't have good chemistry. I have a good friend who isn't bad at the game but we just don't gel together, unfortunately. Our playstyles don't combine well at all.

>>1526502
>was it ever an issue
yeah in S3 it had the same range as the medium's ARs

Would someone help me figure out a sensitivity issue? I'm trying to figure out how to make my ADS for each weapon 1:1 to hipfire aim. Each weapon has "zoom-in", but I want my aim to feel the same regardless of that.

>>1528269
Yeah, given that Embark has generally made it clear already how much they didn't want to care about Ranked and instead just have the big exploding destruction gameshow, pivoting to full-on esports feels like more Nexon meddling.

>>1528269
Why do they push for esports when they have severe balance issues, this is so retarded, a game needs a massive playerbase before trying to push esports shit

>>1525779
When I get stunned I fuckin die, idk what’s got him you guys are saying.

>>1528296
Not him, but
>a game needs a massive playerbase before trying to push esports shit
Makes me wonder how many players CS 1.6 and CS:S had back in the day. I don't think the tournament scenes were much to wag a finger at in terms of numbers.

>>1528269
So they want a repeat of the twitch rivals event?
This game hardly has a playerbase, the competitive side is already so barebones, I've met the same guys in so many matches.

But above all else, the game is just too unbalanced, immagine watching the tournament and your favourite team gets griefed out because they don't like you. They'll probably do 3v3s only, no way they can do 3v3v3v3 and have it be fair.
>S5 meta rebalance
unless they remove the 30% plug bonus and increase the wipe loss to 20%, I don't wanna hear it, they'll just do a passing nerf of every gun that dominated S4 and won't buff the weak stuff

>>1510921
Honestly, how is the game sitting at a stable 16k? Given everything the game is sitting at it's season 1 & 2 average.
Is Nexon botting pop numbers?
Because I literally never hear about this game anymore, and the subretting is only around 100 active at peak and this game can't even maintain a proper general here, but its still 16k somehow.
The oddest thing is that this game had a vocal number of overwatch vets and now marvel rivals is sitting in the top 5 but the finals pop count didn't budge..
This is despite the blatant cheating, pants on head balancing, shit netcode, shit optimization, etc.

Its just weird.

>>1529265
Despite being mismanaged to hell and back, the game, at it's core, is good.

Remember that this game is also avaliable on consoles and it's about to be on ps4 too.

>>1528935
>unless they remove the 30% plug bonus and increase the wipe loss to 20%, I don't wanna hear it, they'll just do a passing nerf of every gun that dominated S4 and won't buff the weak stuff
I keep saying all they need to do to fix extreme chaos and the constant purposeful griefing is to have the money slowly drain into a teams account with whoever has the cashout at completion getting a decent bonus. It won't completely fix the major problems, but it'll help a good deal.

>>1529327
I agree with you, but I just don't think 16k is an honest or organic pop count.
Also, given how specific console users are in their tastes, I'd be cash money that the finals has less players on consoles than PC..
Console users play fortnite and cod, they're not engaging in non mainstream games (on the whole)

>>1529265
>shit optimization
I never understood this. Even a $80 Ryzen can crush 60FPS in this game. Niggas seriously have to be going
>oh no, my decade old 4th Gen i5 CPU can't perfectly run this cutting edge multiplayer shooter with revolutionary total destruction physics
>it must be poorly optimized

>>1529796
>60FPS in this game
Are you retarded? 60fps is unacceptable.
And this game has literal ass servers and absolute ass optimization.
It has gotten worse each patch too.
You can't deny this, it's a fucking fact.

>>1529856
>Are you retarded? 60fps is unacceptable.

Same resolution, same specs, 60 fps is the bare bare minimum and that's still now counting shit like the eastwood hotel getting blown up or the kyoto pagoda falling, making frames drop to slideshow levels.
