Anyone here still playing this game?What's your opinion on the new character?
I do, still some hopium left in the bottom of the tank and she's very fun for a crossbow fag like me.Fix her yaoi hand fingers and fluff that tail up though, snow leopards should have majestically fluffy ones. No sex before fluffy tail sorry.
>>2168424yashe is a situational valiant. her 'Q' is very useful in maps with tons of verticality (like Crescent Bay) and not so much in flat maps (like Mojave).'E' and the ultimate are pretty much cqc abilities, which in turn make her ideal for close quarters.not the best but also not the worst valiant imo
>>2168424cute snep
>>2168424This tail looks really bad for a snow leopard
>>2185069what is wrong with it?too short? not fluffy enough?
I’d be up to try a few lobbies with the people here but is there any way to do that without posting profile? Or is that always the cost of trying to trying to form a party?
>>2185979people have posted their UID to form lobbies in the pastsee: >>>/v/704617784>>>/v/704618176 >>>/v/704618119
>>2186110NA East106567I’ll be on for a bit
>>2187594mine is 119494
I just was thinking about reinstalling this. How is the playerbase looking these days and has the AI been improved at all?
>>2188894>How is the playerbase looking these daysplayer count went down significantly, even then, on NA you can still find half filled lobbies at prime hours>has the AI been improved at all?a bit. you generally don't see bots getting stuck on walls or at the spawn anymore
>>2188984I see they've nerfed shotguns down to the normal videogame status quo of the pellets phasing out of existence past 10 feet but have left the m-10 completely untouched.
>>2189981>left the m-10 completely untouchednot sure about that one. SMGs aren't as dominant as they used to be
>>2189981I fear shotguns will be hard to re-buff, between people having ptsd from s1 shotguns (despite part of their peak strength being a BUG) and the "i'm an aim trainer grinder and shotguns are for shitters, they shouldn't be in shooters to begin with!" sentiments some regulars have.But then again they did bive sex fox a big nerf, I thought she'd be immune to that for obvious reasons. So who knows?
>>2190101I think the best thing they could do is limit most of the attachments for the universal shotguns and simply limit each to having a specific role with clearly defined effective areas.For example, the Home Defender should be the exclusive slug shotgun. It should essentially be a primary version of the m28 that trades being able to rapid fire for having a high skill ceiling tracking moving targets by having a slower projectile. From there, you can easily tweak.
>>2168424I still play Wild Assault because the furry characters in combination with Battlefield style gameplay scratches an itch that I haven't been able to satisfy anywhere else.The Snep is cool, but I was having fun with her instant air, fast grapple during the "testing" phase, and they took that away. Her grapple is slow and boring now. Her Ult is kinda OP in that it's basically "escape or you'll die" with the window to react being slim. The Silence is practically useless; Turning off abilities at close range isn't as effective as disarming someone entirely. Norman's roar, which does opposite, is way more useful for getting the jump an unsuspecting foe. So, overall, Snep's power is weighted heavily in favor of her Ult and being able to get the drop on a group.
>>2168424I love her and to do stupid air kills with her. If anything I play her like I would in Lost Planet Colonies and 2's MP. I am getting close to legendary with her too!
>>2201380So, this is war

>>2202094Did they change something?
>>2202514we already had bots in the last playtest and season 1. no idea what is he complaining about.
>>2202094Honest question, what do you mean? Character changes? Weapon/attachement changes? Maps? Disliking new characters or something technical like decreased performance? One thing I miss was the earlier tests not having matchmaking and just using server browser to hop on one of the few servers per region.
Idk how this happen just spawn under here lol.

Just curious, do people actually play this game? I bought this game on sale when it launched on Steam. For the few matches I played, players were terrible, incompetent at shooters I must say. Are matches filled with bots or something? I wanna know how active the player base is in Asia or wherever the game was made.
>>2243913Yes. Matches are filled with bots>I wanna know how active the player base is in AsiaNo idea. You need to speak with someone that play on those serversNA for the most part is somewhat active on peak hours
>>2243913I didn't buy it because I can't host my own server off my own hardware and customize it to my liking. I would have added big assault and infiltration maps with limited lives and turned it into serious sam or some shit.
>>2241301skunk wife
>>2243913Can only truly speak for US servers, where during prime time you can get some solid lobbies, even more so on weekends. Not too uncommon to see stuff like 6v6+ which immediately feels way more lively than 1v1 bot genocide sessions, had a 8v9 last weekend and it was kino. Usually some players on even in degen hours.I've tried asia despite the ping, not prime time but always had a few players which seems promising. Pretty sure prime time might be good, prepare for insanely aspergic meta slavery thoughbeit.EU is pretty dead outside of prime time, in part because a handful of ultra autists playing 24/7 for muh leaderboard playing in the most cunty way possible, I've heard. They've genuinely chased a lot of EU players to US servers, and been temp banned for exploiting several times.South america is barren. People tell players that want bot games for achievements to go SA, that's how dead it is.

I know nothing of this game, is it still a battle royale or is there singleplayer/co-op modes
>>2266390There wasn't a single point in time where this game was a battle royale.This is a 20v20 hero shooter with anthropomorphic animal characters. No singleplayer mode and you can join matches together with friends

Not having a campaign killed this game.
>>2267926focusing on skins instead of content killed this game
>>2268270Skins that people would have used in campaign therefore you are correct 2x instead of just 1x
Could going F2P save this game?
>>2281215In the game's current state probably not.Bare minimum they need like 5 more maps or else people will get bored i a couple weeks.More weapons couldn't hurt either.
>>2281215It'd probably be seen as an exit scam atp and I wouldn't blame people for avoiding it. I think they'll probably try it after the rushed pve flops.Sucks, but they did it to themselves.
>>2281215I would not even play this for free unless I get to do what I want on my server.
>>2281520wait, when did they announce a pve mode?
>>2284825they've been actively working on it since ~ late Dec. and it's the only real content in the pipe currently:https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2827230/view/515236719580152991
I do enjoy this game, the one time of day that I play it. My issue is that it seems that everyone who plays this is good. Like "world champion" good. I honestly don't want to sweat more than a workout just trying to play a match to relax. So I end up just avoiding players entirely and just playing against bots. People tell me that I won't get better unless I go up against real people. Well, I won't get better getting destroyed every match against real people because they can accurately predict every single interaction down to the second. I hope for more players so I don't have only sweats to deal with.
>>2296107>I hope for more playersat this point I don't think there is a way to bring more players.
>>2296146Sadly, I agree. As much as I don't want the game to fail, I think it will. Especially when the developers are defending a group of cheaters, claiming that they aren't cheating and that they will now ignore any reports on them.
I used to have fun in Season 1, but it's been going downhill steadily since then. The fact that the majority of players you run into have almost 2000 hours into a game that has not been out for a full year is concerning. I just don't want to have to go against them because that is not fun in any capacity.
>>2296166>Especially when the developers are defending a group of cheaters,Probably desperate to keep what few whales they have left.I've mostly given up after the first week of the current season. I only log in to do the bare minimum for new skins, and if there's nothing to unlock I just don't play. When I do play I don't go out of my way to perform and actively dodge lobbies I don't want to deal w/.It's not even the cheaters that killed my interest, it's the shitty gameplay direction the internal test team has forced for 3 seasons now. I used to play very heavily and I'm sure some probably considered me a sweat kek. I also played well enough to get the attention of most of the US East darlings. I'm just very tired of playing the same small handful of people that only farm on the same small handful of meta guns and characters. Most of the people I enjoyed playing w/ and against are gone too. I can't even get 10 man lobbies during weekend primetime anymore. Kinda ironic, that depsite its own problems, season 1 is probably the best EA version of the game we'll ever see. The magic's gone.
I went and changed my positive review to negative. The developers are just flopping on this in every way. From making very infrequent declarations to defending open cheaters to getting rid of their public people who actually cared about the game community. I almost wish I had never started playing this game. Sad to say, but it's true.
>>2300472I never gave this game a review in the first place
>people still play this>still no workshop supportCool.
>>2301804They will not give out workshop support, I guarantee that.
Almost 3 months later and still no bot AI for Anthea
This game belongs to the fucking sweats. One guy says he's terrible at the game, but in the same time as me, he has achieved 42,000 while I have 5000. I do not enjoy this game anymore. It's a damn chore to play it now and a game should never feel like that.
Predictions for season 5's new content?A single, unfinished gun that'll be more of the same balance dumpster fire we've had since season 2Another welfare skin for JackAnother new recolor for the rigged gachaAnother half-baked $20 character cosmetic bundleIf they try to force pve out the door this early, it's dead.

https://steamcommunity.com/games/2827230/announcements/detail/508482584447027359>it's nothingkekthose Glory skins are lazy as shit...a single gameplay change(the AK nerf that kept getting delayed by the testing team)
>>2309877>no shotgun fixThis annoys me. All they need to be significantly improved is as little as 10m more effective range. I get people have ptsd from s1 shotties but that was caused by a literal bug, and access to attachements that gave 20m+ extra range. At LEAST make slugs work properly on guns that aren't Ryan's autoshotty. Balance them seperately, the double barrel should have better range and damage than the pump for example. Heavy ammo already gives different range for different guns, if needed jyst make destroyer silencer give +10m instead of +20m.But it's simple>westoid "inner circle" is aim trainer fags that think anything but low recoil tracking/target switching guns is le cringe, and any gun that can 1tap them out of their next "clip" is bad>chinkoid "inner circle" is <current meta gun> Norman spammers that'd shit their pants of they got 1pumped to the face out of norman ultSo shotguns must not be allowed to be good sorry sweatie :)
>>2309877>>2311535I do think S1 shotguns and PKP needed to be reigned in a bit, but they went overboard. The AA-12 only being avaible on Ryan now and post-tank nerf bears having no shotguns at all is a fucking joke too.They had to make room for the noclip dive and Assault farm b/c the test chinks said the game was too slow. It's also why they repeatedly kicked the Expert class in the nuts. I hate how retard-proof the meta has been since S2.I tried playing the new season earlier, but had to keep dodging a premade of the usual metakeks.Just duel AK/M4/Galil snep/tiger/fox and PPSh/Ump jank rabbits til EoS :^)
It utterly fascinates me. That the people whom the developers go to bat for, that carry endorsements for gaming gear, which they advertise in-matches, and whom have played quite strangely including firing into the air and managing to headshot someone on the other side of the map. But according the developers, those people are just THAT good that they can curve bullets with their minds to always headshot people, no matter where they fire These same people that are protected from any and all punishments in the game, claim there is not cheating in the game. Even going as far as to say that cheating has never occurred in the game, period.I wonder why the people, that if they cheated, would face NO consequences for those actions, would claim that cheating never happens? It's a mystery, it is.
Let's say we're in an alternate history where Wild Assault has a AAA budget and dev team with no weird Chinese restrictions. What features or concepts (aside from a PvE mode) would you all like to have seen implemented?
I do not care for the new marquez skin
>>2314516More than just 5 maps.
>>2314824why not?
>>2314516holy sex
>>2314990
K/D padders make me want to not play the game anymore, regardless of which team they're on. They avoid directly engaging objectives and players, while camping scopes, the whole match. Either that or aggressively spawn camp on a meta AR/SMG.Maybe it's particularly bad right now b/c the season is fresh and they're farming for the ladder(kek)? Even got stuck w/ a panda that did nothing but farm from near spawn every match. It's fucking boring and I miss having big, mixed fights.
>>2315088Precisely!The fun has been lost. All that most people care about is score with the higher, the better. I ran into some people who just play "for fun" and I honestly don't know how they still can do that. I would love to play just for fun, but the other players make that almost impossible.I am reminded of what my friend told me.>The problem with multi-player games is other people
>>2314516Server browserI won't compromise on this.
>>2315088Make the devs reward objective contribution more than a shitty ratio and this will change.If you don't say anything and don't get people on board with you nothing will ever change. They definitely aren't reading this thread or steam forums
>>2315877They aren't reading anything that doesn't come from their volunteer test team and MAYBE some of the chink livestreams(I assume that's where most of the Q&A shit is actually from) kek.I did pass something along to one of the chink testers in the discord once. It didn't go anywhere, but bless him for taking the time and trying.
>>2315877Supports get genuinely well rewarded for doing support things, but kills while attacking/defending the point should be more rewarded in general.They're already "taking a look at" Hong's point generation anyway it seems, I'm sure Erwin will be next. It's very problematic when a support character can outscore and "steal" the MVP promised to the local NK Norman spammer 3000 years ago, you see.
>>2315088>>2315851The lack of any real substantial new content means the only thing veteran players can challenge themselves with is a higher score.
>>2317721Let me add that when the player numbers have dwindled so all you have are sweats and some casual players, it's not a good sign. Those sweats just beat down the casuals who just want to have a match or two. So the casuals start leaving or just avoid any and all players outright. What you're left with is what we have at this time; a sweat fest.
>>2317721Funnily enough, some of those very same players get publicly upset when you start avoiding the lobbies they're in. I had a premade beg me not to dip the other night. Maybe don't play like faggots every match you're in? The playerbase is too small to weather this shit.I think the devs deserve the lion's share of the blame for the game's failure, but certain player cliques didn't do it any favors either. They know who they are too, but continue to chase people away.
I want to give Anthea headpats and belly rubs
>>2320472Don't care
I think asian furry pvp games might be cursed, bros.I just bought Hunter Roulette at the end of last week's sale and they just announced EoS today... Lasted less than a year kek.I just want to murk other players while looking at cute fluffy bitches... REEEE
>>2320472This but with Marquez

Furchud Concord...
>>2326784Ya, but it'd be harder for them to keep squeezing your wallet that way. Think of the starving devs, bro.I'm morbidly curious over what their f2p vision would look like, considering the shit they tried to pull at launch and what they still try to get away w/. It's also why I roll my eyes at them promising Workshop support.

To commemorate the one year anniversary of Early Access, a few members of the WA community will be organizing several long streaming sessions this coming Saturday.
We also have our first look at the upcoming PvE mode.https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2827230/view/510736286715218830
>>2340623The game already feels like PvE with all these bots around
>>2340623>we might have a ttk/pacing poblemAcknowledged 4 seasons too late. Good thing they only listen to the test team that forced this direction in the first place, fucking clowns.>>2340800Kek this. W/ how consistently shit bot behavior has been, I don't expect their pve encounters to be enjoyable either.
>>2340800I'd still rather fight bots than most of these players. Nothing against them, but I really, really don't want to play a match against people who spend 8 to 10 hours a day, 5 days a week or more, just grinding themselves into absolute perfection. If they enjoy that, good for them. I just don't want to play against them because that's like trying to break down a brick wall with a toothpick. You can be determined and never give up, but I guarantee that that wall is not going to come down anytime soon. I honestly believe they should add a Ranked mode so these people can hash it out among themselves for tops spots and leave casual matches for people who just want to play casually and not be the best of the best constantly.I was a little harsh on the community. I met some great people in the community who I am glad to know. They help me out when they can and I do actually have fun with them around. But most of the time, I'm on my own and it's not so fun going up against these omega level players. When you have a team that backs you up, sure. By yourself? No. I welcome the PvE as hopefully, it will be decent enough to provide some much needed relief from the repetitive god players.
>>2342660TOO MANY ERWINS
The full 20v20 custom lobbies today were fantastic. Vastly different experience than the usual bot Hell. Actually felt like the game had some life in it.
>>2344121I personally think I would be too fucking scared to play with that many people. I likely wouldn't be able to get a single shot off before getting killed a dozen times in a matter of 2 seconds.
>>2344135Not gonna lie, it was pretty hectic, and getting cornered alone meant instant death because everyone had real backup. But a lot of people were also just goofing around, doing things like the giant Erwin party or having melee-only fight clubs in less active parts of the map.
>>2344159Still, I would most likely never attempt it. When you're the worst player in that entire game, you tend to avoid all over players like the plague.
>>2344121and yet there are some retards that will claim the game isn't meant for full player lobbies(even though we had them during the playtests and EA launch) kek.this game is sooo much better when it's actually large scale pvp and mixed tactics. I miss it.the low-man power farm it's devolved into is dogshit.
>>2344424what would you suggest? decrease the player number from 20v20 to 10v10 ?
>>2344625Tweak matchmaking to prioritize actually filling lobbies instead of spreading everyone into tiny groups across several fresh lobbies. Even if it results in somewhat longer queues. It's not like waiting 2 minutes or so will kill anyone at this point. I even have to wait for 2+ minutes sometimes in Deadlock's Brawl, but at least the match is full like it's intended to be.Either that or give us a browser for standard matches, like they had in the earliest tests. They're clearly capable of making one, see: Custom Rooms.Problem is that it's an issue that's been repeatedly pointed out to them, along with suggested fixes, but they've largely ignored it. Since ~Season 2, any feedback that doesn't come from their test team goes nowhere. Unfortunately, the game has a mountain of self-inflicted issues now.Take the most recent Q&A with them claiming to want feedback on ttk and combat pacing. Send out a fucking survey then, instead of just pretending to address it.I get that their lack of resources has gotten worse, but they need to find the skillset and mindset to save this thing. It feels like they've been just kinda flailing around since the mediocre EA launch. They're running out of runway and I don't think it can survive a bad pve launch.
>>2344802I forgot, but the Raid vs. Conquest and abandoned TDM issues are also related. Try adding a mixed mode queue. Give us incentives to dip into other modes, like mode-specific bonus weekends.And for the people that want to find empty standard lobbies, give them a toggle for it.
>>2344424So many of the issues that arise due to the mostly bot matches are either absent or mitigated substantially when it becomes mostly real players. For example, Norman isn't nearly as oppressive since he can't easily farm heals from clumps of bots. Medics fulfilling their medic role becomes much more important since you can't just respawn and run all the way back to a point bypassing or slaughtering all the bots. Having Jacks around to mark enemies is useful since every enemy is a real threat and tracking their positions matters. And so on and so forth.
>>2345429Exactly. The game starts to play like it was built from the ground up to be. Pseudo combined arms w/ different characters and weapons performing different roles that complement each other. It creates reasonable opportunities for the power meta picks and playstyles to be properly contained and punished(some of the farmers don't like that, but oh well).It was a much more enjoyable experience. Unfortunately, w/ the deteriorated playerbase and how MM functions, you almost never see it now. I haven't seen even a half-full lobby in months. I had a few w/ ~15 people total the first few days of this season, that was it. Conquest is even more dead kek.
So this is why the sweats love the low player count. When the count is low, they can dominate people by farming bots in match to get their ultimates faster and cool downs.With matches that are mostly or all, real players they lose that type advantage. Plus, with more people, they may lose their spot on the leader board. I wonder how many of them could remain unbeatable if everyone was a real person? I suspect only some could, but most would get crushed.
I'm gonna miss these custom lobbies when they fizzle out holy shit. I never played the early no-bot tests and these games are ludokino even when I get my shit rocked.If only this was a server browser/community server game in general.
>>2350351I would like to try them, but I am too fucking scared to. Every player in this game is flawless, except me. I'm likely the worst player in the entire game so I just avoid all players as if my damn life depended on it.I try to have a positive attitude about it, but I get so pissed because I have no chance, even against a single player so I usually just bail out of the match until I'm only against bots. When everyone is getting 10 to 15 kills every 5 seconds, I'm out. I want to enjoy the game, but I'm having an extremely hard time.

>>2355189Community Showcase Staff*Which I'm pretty sure are some of the discord clique faggots and jannies, so I wouldn't bet on them barring their ladder hero friends.You might be able to peek at who's in the lobbies before committing though.
>>2355211I just wouldn't want to go against players, whom some people claim, have never lost a single match and have never missed a single shot. All of that is nonsense as that is not even humanly possible, but the fact that people believe it is, gives me pause.I have said it before and I will say it againI don't mind going against people. My issue is going against people who spend 8 to 10 hours a day, almost every day, grinding themselves to near perfection. I only play the game in my off time and would like to have a damn chance, but when going against such players, you have none. So I will probably sit this out.
>>2355529>stop thinking about secks!

>>2355529She does look really good with this outfit. I mean, it's a re-color of another outfit of hers, but it works incredibly well.It's going to be a time before I go back into this game and play her again, however. I guess the 1 year anniversary brought all the assholes out because they were in full force today. Calling people "No skill noobs" and saying that people needed to "uninstall the game and kill themselves." Funny, they all were TTV players so streamers, the worst kind of filth. I can deal with banter, but this was nearly relentless so I'm taking a break from the game until they crawl back into the hole they emerged from.

>>2380089I have not touched this game since the anniversary. Streamers were running rampant, antagonizing players, and just making things feel like a chore. So until an update comes that makes me reconsider playing again, I am just going to play other games.>>2380099Still would rather deal with them than many of the players.
>>2380099Bots are still a joke to play against. Any improvement to them is welcome
Ok, so I played four rounds of PvE.And....It's fairly good. Not perfect, by any means. Enemies can still get stuck sometimes, but I say this happen once out of the 4 matches so I suppose it only happens every once in a while. Still, should be looked into. You and your team HAVE to work together. First match? We lost every quickly. After that, we realized we had to back one another up to survive and win. It's not like the enemies do tons of damage, they just keep coming and can take many, many rounds before going down, especially the tanks. Mark points where you need help holding back a swarm and your team will learn to help you because otherwise, the match is over and you lost. I only play about one match a day because PvP pisses me off with how perfect everyone is. PvE? 4 matches and I still wanted to keep going. That's quite a difference for someone like me. It still has some issues, but overall, it's quite solid and it's fun. You have to strategize to ensure that the enemy gets nowhere near your team's core. You also have to pick what upgrades work best with the character you have. I was playing Vlad and maxing out the burning barrel so it's spreads further and sticks longer and the reload speed helped me be able to stay in the fight far longer. I enjoyed that far more than the "I'm amazing and perfect," you see nonstop in PvP.
>>2381458The PvE is rudimentary at this stage, but it shows promise. As you've mentioned, you really have to coordinate with your team to progress. The enemies are incredibly tanky. Here's what I've gathered so far:>Hyper focus on the collared enemies as soon as they appear. They are your #1 priority, since the game ends the instant they touch the base.>Similar to above, make sure you start on taking down the bosses as soon as they appear. Bosses are super tanky and will require your full team to take down.>You don't regen health automatically in this modes, so having one healer is useful. But, it's not required if you get the "heal on kill" perk.>The white path shown before the enemy phase is the big Ulybomb boss. If that reaches your base, it's game over.>Not sure what the difference is between the red and blue paths yet.>Vlad, Zhen, Erwin (giving catnip), and Marquez are the strongest Valiants for this mode, since they're good at point defense.>Uly is the coin collector for some reason? At least, he apparently has perks related to coin collection.>Don't forget the cards on the second perk screen. They're activated by pressing 'F'.
>>2381188>t. not good enough to force kill bots to spawn
>>2381458Yeah, honestly mildly positively surprised. Didn't expect such fleshed out upgrade systems with stuff specific to classes and individual valiants.It's pretty basic and just a "hey look we got a basic MvM-esque mode!" but it works, do hope the higher difficulties are more interesting than bigger health pools (so bots/whatever that actually fight back in more interesting ways) and it'll 100% need more maps, but yeah. It's not the absolute minimum effort required horde shooter mode I expected and that's a good first impression.>>2382449pretty sure red path is supposed to be misc enemies, while blue is collar path. Like gate bots vs bomb bots in mvm, sorta.
Is conquest (the gamemode) broken for anyone else?
Nope, won't buy the game you shills
>>2384484>shilling>on /vm/
>>2168424this isn't fully out yet?
>>2430721No. Still an early access game and it will probably die that way
kites are back
>>2439193so it's some sort of a passion project
>>2439193Not surprising, unfortunately. The dropoff in quality and quanity has been obvious for many months now. The playtests and EA launch are like night and day compared to everything else since late season 2. TBF, most of the guys that were responsible for the early stuff aren't even there anymore.I stopped digging around in the shitcord after realizing things just weren't going to get better. Just phoning it in until EoS. Also tired of being trapped w/ the handful of spergs that treat the game as a personal ego farm.
>>2439310at this point I doubt your claim
I do not know how much longer I can keep playing this game. The fun is so few and far between now that most matches feel like I'm being obligated to finish them. I try to vent and people basically tell you to >Git gud>Just uninstallSure, drive away what few people are still playing. I'm certain that will be great for the game's future which is looking more and more bleak by the day. I enjoyed PvE and I'm trying to hold on until that releases, but fuck me, it's damn hard! When you're completely alone against groups constantly. Sure, I can survive for a lot longer than most people, but that doesn't mean much when I cannot pull out a victory against them. And I have solo players tell me that they can hold their own and win matches against groups so that makes me wonder. Am I just incredibly bad or is damn near everyone who plays this game a demigod? Then they tell you this is the easiest game they have ever played and I just don't get it. I must be an incredibly awful gamer if everyone else has an easy time while I struggle to even get anything done in this game. Every time I have a match, afterwards I just think>I want to just boot up VRC. At least there I can crash parties and meet fun and interesting people, not knowing what's next with that unknown being a thrill.
>>2463593I wouldn't take it personally. Most of those are sekrit clubbers that are helping the game cross the final few inches into its grave.I've sat in the top 50 in busier seasons and think the game has become a mockery of its former self. The current states of combat and the playerbase are miserable and not really worth your time or money. Most of the guys, that were worth playing with, barely play now or have moved on entirely. Speaking of money, fucking kek at them asking for more each month, while they barely work on the game people are paying for. It's a shame how hard this game failed itself.I'd try limiting yourself to fishing for chill lobbies to do just enough for the current unlocks. If a lobby looks like ass cancer, just leave. There's no penalty and you don't owe anyone shit. Can't find one? Fly your kites, grab the mission rewards, and log(this is what I'm currently doing). Also try palete cleansing in something you enjoy after. I hit up brawl in Deadlock after I spend anytime in WA this season.Tbf, it's really difficult to find US East lobbies that aren't 1)low-man, ez-mode meta farm from hell or 2)premades looking to pubstomp. This season, it's frequently both, unless you play at really odd hours. You're going to be forced to eat the retard-proof cheez in primetime. There just aren't enough players left to water it down. There aren't nice answers left for this game atp and everyone kinda knows it.
>>2466195Not making it free to play with microtransactions from the start was a huge mistake
>>2466195I try to be positive about it. I go into the game with good intentions, I tell other players that they are appreciated, and I try to keep my spirits up during matches by just playing silly and not trying to win. I don't try to win because when I do, I cannot and I just get frustrated about it. Even with all of that, I had someone get annoyed with me, because I used to get irritated and vent that in chat, and since I wasn't, they basically told me>I already had you pegged. Now sit down and complain like we know you willI'm trying to be positive and look for the good, but I keep getting knocked down every time I try it. That is why I will play a match or two in Wild Assault and then spend hours and hours in VRC. That is infinitely more fun, entertaining, and enjoyable. Wild Assault should be a fun romp, but has turned into a chore. No game should ever become a chore.
Is the PvE mode available?
>>2507979You need to create a custom room to play itand also find 3 other players since it is co-op
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2827230/view/703269610499080666>left EA w/o warning>added paid lootboxes>didn't even put it on the store pageEnding on a bad joke, holy fucking KEK
The PvE mode is just a weird version of TF2 MvM
>>2518248Yeah, not even making a big deal out of the game's full release is the smoking gun for me, the whole thing screams of one last Hail Mary before going EoS.
>This thread still up.>The very last one I posted on before I stop lurking in here.Huh... I thought it would had 404'd but missed some activity... Also is this normal? I noticed this building all fucked up now with textures and wasn't sure if it was just me now days.
>>2549798yea, that happens to me too for a split second, then the buildings go back to normal
>>2549941This one just seems stuck like this for me every time I play on this map. Same with the menu's anti-aliasing breaking after 1 match as far back as December last year.
There are cheaters in PvE too...
>>2549798Yeah, I noticed that as well. it just...stays untextured for the duration of the map. I did find another bug on the snow map. I went down near the last point and the game started spawning a water way and then it would disappear. It just kept phasing in and out of reality until the match ended. Incredibly bizarre.I was looking forward to the PvE, but now that it's here, I don't like it. Easy and Hard modes are almost exactly the same, with Hard having snipers and Easy does not. The lootboxes with keys are absurd! And I'm seeing lots of people unlocking the PvE specific avatars and I can't even get in the top 2 when I play. So many glory hogs who gets all the kills in the match and then take all the coins, even on kills they didn't get. The fun has faded away and it saddens me.
>no scalie girls in gameI won't play your gamebut if you add them, please don't make the wear wigs, reptiles have no hair. Do give them ginormous boobs and asses though. wink wink
>>2565301I think the next character to be added is a raccoon
I will not pay a single penny till I can host my own server.
>>2568086Those Hong Yings I failed to save...
>>2556650Good, now I know to not reinstall, since they will just be ruining my experience in that gamemode too. Damnit, I just want to play against bots and with bots only and still get the same progression and unlocks as the fucking cheaters.>>2466195This, so much this. For a while I was escaping to the South America server at late night since it was empty, but the damn cheaters and pubstompers followed and there was no where left to play in peace.>>2564676It's the discord clique of totally-not-cheaters. Crazy how this nearly dead game just happens to have some shooter players who would be dominating games with actual tournaments, isn't it?
Personally I never ran into cheaters but I have run into the discord clique but most time I have no issue against them for most part. Probably only time I have issue against them if they are playing scummy with Ryan or Norman. Other then that I do have a funtime against Dynal though when I do run into him and his orbiters if they are with him.
>>2582848The ones that have perfect aim are bad, but the worst cheaters are the ones who have invincible turned on and take no damage at all. When you unload into someone at point blank and see the damage pop-up, then see them at full health with no medics around, and still at full health after unloading an entire magazine into them at point blank, it's painfully obvious they are using cheats.Still not reinstalling or spending another dime on WA until the devs remove the progression restrictions on custom lobbies. Not giving money or my time until the devs stop demanding I be cannon fodder for obvious cheaters.
should I try this game out or am I doomed to disappointment
>>2582848>DynalThat's one of the cheaters anon
>watch footage of pro tournament players for CS or CoD>they have good aim, fast reflexes, but still make mistakes and get killed>watch videos posted by the top players of WA>perfect aim, insane reflexes, unstoppable, no mistakesDunno why all these 'elite' players don't play on the pro scene. They must not like money or rewards.
>>2583999Thankfully, I have not run across such people. I did run across a HongYing that was able to headshot me the literal millisecond I popped out from behind cover and then rolled, jumped into the air, spun around 360 degrees, and was getting headshots like it was nothing.>>2584013If you're willing to deal with some of the more, difficult to handle players, then you can give it a shot. It is quite fun when you don't have to deal with the big shots. When you have regular players, it can be a good time.>>2584051And every time one brings this up, they say "There is no cheating. You just need to git gud. And if you can't, just leave."I would probably be a decent player in the game if these individuals weren't always there, skewing the results.
>>2585760I still remember the very first ban wave of...two players. They didn't even ban the russian guy who posted videos of the paid cheat he developed for the game that gave wallhacking and perfect aim. You would think they would have banned that guy for making using a cheat, but apparently not.
>>2585840People know that cheats are available. It's not a secret any longer. People know that cheats are used. The developers have already stated that reports do nothing because they cannot focus on those reports while doing developments so they let the reports just pile up and then get deleted. So nothing is done about the problem players.It's just a whole mess and I was hoping it would get better, but it has not.
>>2585896All they need to do is remove progression restrictions on custom lobbies so regular players can play in peace with bots or their friends, that's it. That's all they have to do. I don't know why they are so against this one thing.
>>2585936They are trying to force players together. The issue with that is that these players, using these "programs" that give them an edge over everyone else, like this game to be their personal sandbox. They like beating regular players down and rubbing their nose into the dirt. It's a high for them and regular players tend to retreat into lower count servers, PvE, or just stop playing entirely. When you have these players telling you just uninstall the game because you're not having fun, when the game needs all the players that it can muster, you know that they just want to milk this moment for all it is and then walk away when it sinks.
>>2582848>>2584030>Dynal>correctly identifies many of the game's problems>proceeds to contribute to them in-game, like a faggotHim, Hilda, Rabbitcloth, and several others. Don't identify cancer and then become it. One of my last sessions was some twat going out of his way to grief every lobby as snep. Even changed his name to prove an already obvious point.I used to respect Dynal in Season 1, even played well enough to get his attention. DESU, most of the players I respected or otherwise enjoyed playing w/ quit. Many of those that still play turned into obnoxious ladder faggots that like to grief.Between that, the decline in the game's quality, and the latest cash grab attempt, I finally uninstalled. I'd consider coming back if they pushed a miracle update that backtracked all of their fuckups, but I think they just don't have the staff for it now.t. 1k hours between the tests and EA
Tell me why I should buy this shit when one day it's just gonna say could not connect to server
>>2588187I only have about 150 hours logged myself, but the way this went will always irk me. I had so much fucking fun with WA during the last test or two, and for the first two seasons of the EA. I even bought the first two season passes because I wanted to see the game succeed. I wasn't a great player, and thanks to work and life I could only play an hour or two a day at best, but I had fun playing as Hong and running around at Sanic speeds healing the players who were pushing the team forward. Popping ult and jumping into a group of downed teammates behind some cover was always satisfying.>>2588429You're about a year too late, the game is already in EoL and has less than 200 players daily, most of which are cheaters. Combat Cat Studios fucked this thing into the ground.
>>2589365They should just reuse the assets in a borderlands clone or risk of rain 2 clone
>>2339981looks better than default wtf
>>2604628the concept art looked better than what we ended up with
>>2604628It is and why I been using it also hard to go back to costumes when you realize her default outfit and alt colors have jiggle physics on her ass in the menus/win screen.
Why is this game out of EA with only 5 maps?
>>2610618Because the majority of the playerbase has already left. If they didn't make it 1.0, then the game would have died before ever reaching official release. Hell, most players left before there was 4 maps.
It's so damn frustrating to me. New season dropped today so I figured I would give it a go. And surprise, surprise, same results as before. No matter how well I play, no matter how much I push myself, I always seem to be the worst player on my team. I mean, I'm playing with people who can take out just about every other player on the team within microseconds and not miss a beat the whole time. They act like the terminator, just mowing people down without getting touched even once. I honestly wonder why I'm even there. They obviously have this whole match down just by themselves so what's the point of me being there?I know that sounds defeatist, but honestly, it's how I feel about it when I see these people. They are near flawless to such a degree that they don't need any backup or help. They can do everything on their own. Why don't the developers just make solo missions? These guys would be perfect for those! They already run through hordes of enemies like they're draino so just give them a mode where that is expected. I just get frustrated because I feel like a third wheel in this game, as if I'm not doing anything because these people already can everything alone and don't need anyone. Why have the team at all? Make it a solo game and then it would be perfect with how a good majority of these players play.
>>2611887Because you acting as cannon fodder for them makes the game more fun for them. You aren't as predictable as the bots. That's why they screamed bloody murder about their ranking and other shit when people asked for private lobbies. After all, if people had a choice in playing the game with or without those players, they would all choose to play without.
I feel like game gets worse more I crash in this game since I just wanna do like 4 matches and game crashed like 6 times within a hour... I know people complain about bots and cheaters im over making fuss with how stable the game is.
>>2614355questionare you using FSR? My game used to crash a lot and changing it to TSR/XeSS fixed it for me
>>2614387DLSS Performance but I should give that a shot... Might lose performance since how good DLSS really is and hitting 140-240 FPS with it.
>>2614620I'm not sure about DLSS (my card doesn't support it) but I can confidently say that the FSR implementation is broken. One map in particular (R.K. mount) wouldn't even load with it enabled
>>2614639I haven't bother with FSR... At best TAA and DLSS while TAA mostly for native resolutions but ghosting is awful when it comes to using that even though I could play at 4k resolution for most part at 90-140 FPS at 4k.
>>2169238t8t7
>>2168424Fluffy lady…
I guess I should update on my crashing issue... Turns out was due to my CPU overheatting since summer is around again and been pretty hot at 96-108F past couple days when the game was updating... Even though my CPU was at 75F at it's worse the AIO heatsink was getting fucking hot. So just downclocked it to stock speeds so runs fine now.
>>2625408undervolted that bitch like a bossgood man
>>2626423I should try that since idk how well it would work on a i9-12900k since by nature it's a hot bitch regardless!
>>2612549Yeah, no thank you. The people used to be warm and friendly. Now, they just seem to ignore you completely. Healers seem to only heal certain people and ignore healing you. It really has become an elitist game truly. I used to enjoy it, but now, I do not. What an awful state of affairs it has become.
>>2631146End result of a game that not only doesn't have any sort of in-game moderation, but doesn't allow for any sort of in-game moderation. Cheaters were allowed to run rampant until they pushed everyone else out. Now they are the only ones left, and no one wants to play with them, not even their fellow cheaters.Back during Season 1 I was convinced the people at the top of the leaderboards were 24/7 nolifing the game. After S3, I was certain the only ones in the top 30 or so are running cheats. Everyone else had more or less normal numbers, but the people up top would be needing to nail 200+ perfect headshot kills and winning every match to get the numbers they were showing.
>>2631218I see people get MVp for getting 450 kills in the PvE. I don't see how that is possible, even if they're getting every single kill by themselves and even then, are there 450 enemies total in all rounds? I have not counted them myself. Maybe next time I will count them to see how many are in there total.The PvE frustrates me because people will just farm the kills and take all the coins, even on kills they didn't get. I understand taking out the horde as soon as they enter so they don't spread all over the map and become harder to take down, but when I get 60 kills in all 6 rounds and everyone else managed over 100? Yeah, that's a little absurd to me.
>>2631237You should take screenshot of said 400+ kills because that often tells a story more then words. As well you can get 400+ just by soloing it too... As for you geting 60 kills and everyone getting 100+ kill. You must be playing as a healer class or just a assist king lol. Because idk what to tell you at this point really.. As for this? >>2631146 just talk people will begin chatting since most of the time it's silence till someone breaks it especially with a lobby of 4+ players.
>>2632827I suppose I don't have that killer instinct in me. This game was probably never going to work for me, even if I did enjoy Season 1 and into Season 2. The fact that other games came into my life around this time was probably the best. Gets me to look into them and enjoy them while not trying to be someone I am clearly not with this one.I have tried to speak to people, but they either say nothing or speak to another individual so I have stopped trying to talk to people as they seem to not want to.
So turns out wasn't my CPU overheating was my RAM lol... Well good to know I guess but summer sucks and set my CPU clocks up to where I had it.>>2633113I do understand if people not talking since im like that too especially long work day and you just wanna chill and kill other furries. Same time weekends is chatter catty times too in large lobbies when people are on. Besides if you want I can drag you along with me when I do play! Just need a way to communicate when im free since this thread isn't exactly fast enough for that lol.
>>2634111>Besides if you want I can drag you along with me when I do play!That would be nice, but I don't know if I'm going back into the game. I basically told people that I was likely going to leave the game and they basically cheered, almost as if I was a complete determent to them and the game. If people feel that strongly about me that me leaving makes them incredibly happy, then I don't feel any desire to go back in. Clearly, I was not wanted there.
The fuck is all this vrchatnigger shit? Am I in the right general?
>>2635869this isn't a general
GGs anon was fun but sadly almost 4AM for me as well didn't expect to run into you!>>2635092Honestly who cares what other people think, you do you anon and just play!>>2635869Yes.
>>2636156ya, thanks for those matchessometimes it's nice to find someone that enjoys losing brain cells on this website too
>>2636148shut
>>2636261Yeah that's true I have other friends I met through general on /v/ but they stopped playing due to two of them just playing other games and moved on while other just got tired of the game.
>>2636156>Honestly who cares what other people think, you do you anon and just play!My heart's not in it any longer. I don't feel that drive anymore. Why bother when people clearly have such disdain for me when all I have done is try to be better and fall flat on my face attempting? The fun, for me at least, is gone. I would catch hints of it here and there, but it became less and less. Could have been something, but combined with the developers indifference and the way the community has become callous and very elitist in nature, I just feel little desire to play this. I used to very much enjoy this, even recommended it to my friends back in the early days. Such a disappointment and such wasted potential.
>>2638901I watched this game go through the entire hi-rez cycle in turbo speed. This is exactly the state paladins was in while they were busy fucking it up for two dogshit games nobody wanted.
