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
>>2201166>Battlefield style gameplaythis game feels way more like a hero shooter than a battlefield clone

>>2168424I will never forgive them for giving the angry lesbian cut to this leopard

>>2202058but that's not a side shave...
>>2168424She should have had slightly darker hair like grey or something
>>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.

>>2209633I genuinely feel some chingchong players have threatened to ACK if Norman actually gets truly meaningful nerfs or something. I've played on asia a few times, so many tigers playing as if Xi will personally rape their family to death if they don't get MVP.

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.
>>2241301Cute

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.
>>2309860No shotgun fix. Another gutted battlepass just like the season 3 one and if we're lucky, a new map.

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
>>2321040good. total live service death. May the assets live on as vrchat rips
>>2322079Live service pisses me off, imagine if this was released when it'd go more like>here's our game, here's the server hosting tools. thank you for boughtering the game gwailoIt'd be so ultrakino, vgh..
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.
>>2326794concord lasted only 12 days while this game is now one year old

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.
