Since we are limited to the number of ‘posts’ per day on this forum (a terrible system to get feedback and share opinions) This one is going to be LONG.
Crashing to desktop constantly in Closed Beta - the issue has NOT been resolved in this BETA - this is a huge problem as ‘quit’ enough matches (not even ranked, just matches) and you get banned (timed out) from all multiplayer activities.
This is a huge oversight. - getting 'banned ’ from playing, when the game is CRASHING to desktop, not me 'Quitting" (YOU NEED A CRASH LOG)
I have tried:
reducing video settings to low
updating gpu drivers
verifying cache/files (STEAM, 5x at least)
Restarting the game
Restarting Steam
Restarting the PC
Force- Running in Borderless Window Mode
Capping FPS to 60
Capping FPS to 30
Vsynch on and off
Completely uninstalling graphics drivers/reinstalling
Uninstalling and Reinstalling
Uninstalling again and Installing on a brand new SSD
Taking PC to a neighbors and using their ISP
Trying Wifi instead of Hard line internet connection (I figured I might as well try, just in case some strange magic made wifi better, it didn’t)
As for the game itself.
-
It has some terrible times of shot registry - getting pegged through walls, rocks, etc.
-
I have physically seen an enemy run - and rubber band. (often)
-
The Brute Chopper is too slow - and doesn’t deal nearly enough damage during ram (those saw-blade tires are made of rubber I guess as it feels like bumper cars)
-
Nearly all vehicles have physics issues - going airborne/spinning out/flipping over very small objects/rocks etc. This makes driving feel terrible.
-
The rewards for “free players” should not focus on “getting XP faster” and “Change those Challenges” - that is something the more “try hards” would use - and as a free player it makes it feel lacking in the rewards for actually ranking up. (as 3/4 the armor rewards require the pass)
-
Players should not just get 50xp for “complete a match” It should be 200 for winning, 100 for losing, and bonus xp based on the SCORE you achieve, meaning “Playing the Objective” is the fastest way to gain ranks, instead of just running into a wall and getting 50xp for doing nothing but hindering your team.
-
Challenges should track as they are obtained, instead of post-game only (because again, crashing sucks and having to repeatedly do the same challenge is infuriating)
-
THERE NEEDS TO BE A WAY TO CHECK CHALLENGES ONCE IN A MATCH
-
There needs to be a way to report players in a match. (especially for grief, like getting in a vehicle and driving it and it’s passengers off a cliff intentionally)
-
There needs to be a general ‘ranking’ matchmake system - getting set up against players that are clearly much better than you, while your team is trying to do silly grenade jumps into out of the map areas doesn’t make a fun matchmade experience.
-
There needs to be crash logs.
-
Crash logs should generate a flag that prevents auto-ban from matchmaking when you “quit” too many games (via crashing, with a crash log, not by intentional shutting the game off, d/c the internet, or other “rage quit” methods)
-
There is very little motivation to keep playing without ‘earning’ something. I am reaching the end of my challenge list and finding I am also reaching the end of caring to play, because I have so few things to do. (and no, the daily 50xp to play a match repeatedly doesn’t matter)
-
The Free Season rewards currently Don’t make me feel like I should buy the battle pass. Instead it makes me feel like this is all being set up as a predatory cash grab. I had intention to buy passes and the game in full, but now I am having second thoughts as the intense grind requires too much of my time.
-
Stockpile is pretty bad. The ‘seeds’ need to be NON-throwable, or make them Explode when shot with a rocket, sniper , etc. The current system is just… bad, not fun at all, and if your team doesn’t know the ‘meta’ to rush and toss backward, the match is over before you know it.
-
Flags should not be able to enter Wasps in CTF mode. Yes, they currently can- somehow. I’ve been in a few matches where they used this to win as short time after the wasps spawned. (control the snipers, get wasp-flags, basically can’t be stopped in time due to how fast/far they fly).
-
Oddball - when you have the ball, you should deal more damage with melee. Same with flag carrying. At this point there is no reason not to just rush and melee a holder - as they can’t effectively defend themselves close range (and they should be able to, their weakness is already being spotted on map and being suspect to grenade spam and long range attacks- give them something)
-
RADAR needs to be in the top right corner again. Bottom left is so bad. (make it a UI/HUD choice at least)
-
Radar is essentially useless, take away the terrible placement, and just look at the fact it doesn’t work more than half the time. It barely shows vehicles, and getting a proper ping on a player doesn’t work well. (movement should show, even if walking, but not crouching)
-
the commando rifle is terrible. the recoil is too high to use long range, the clip size and lower damage is terrible to use at mid range, and its lack of RoF is terrible at close range. What point is this gun? Needs fixed. Up the damage, or increase the range, or increase clip size or a combo of things, right now it is the worst gun to use, as it takes some 8 shots to pop shields and eliminate, while an assault rifle and/or magnum easily overpowers it.
-
The Quick Battle system needs to NOT have grenades when you start, many of the modes just turn into “grenade spam” instead of any sort of legitimately fun game modes- especially Oddball. (which again, should 1 shot kill in melee range instead of needing to hit twice)
This post: “F2P is not an excuse”
is also great. It is not a viable excuse to use the F2P model as an excuse to excessively and predatorily charge players to do basic things like custom armors. You can have exclusives behind walls, sure, but not 3/4 of all rewards being locked. 25 armors /custom items are free, the rest are paywalled, and the other levels are just Xp boosts (pointless when there isn’t something to boost toward) and Challenge Swappers- which… again… why bother?
