The combination of 3x 12 minute missions for orders is really nice.
I think we need more short missions! |

Chill for a minute and usually you'll get 3 people rather quickly. |

I really like the air burst now that it's a little easier to use without killing yourself. It's just hard to find a case where it really makes sense to take up a backpack and support slot, as it's too slow reloading for advancing waves unless you already had sufficient stand-off.
It's basically for wiping random patrols or the "sentries" at points of interest/mission objectives vs burning a stratagem. Might be AWESOME on a wall defense mission. I would probably start bringing it quite often if you could reload it on the move - same speed, same slots, same ammo depth, maybe even limit it to no sprinting, but just being able to fall back while inserting another RPG would be nice. |

They really don't like solo players and the new increased spawns are quite significant... sucks as I liked to run a solo mission here and there.

View Quote They keep buffing enemies and nerfing weapons like they are trying to run players off. Apparently it pisses off the devs that people enjoy their game or at least did and can actually complete missions. Also it seems China doesn’t allow PSN which is gonna knock out a huge player base and make major orders hard to complete. Oh well, I’ve been back playing fornite with my wife and buddies so I’m not even sure I’ll be playing much anymore anyways. |

I think I'm losing interest in the game. Stalkers aren't fun to fight and don't feel rewarding to defeat. Same with spewers. I'm getting one shotted by spewers that spawned behind me with no warning much more frequently. Literally watching groups spawn near you as you mop up the last of the previous one is frustrating. Firenados make me not want to even bother with the damn planet.

My statement stands. It changes nothing. They could ban you regardless. That said, Sony is developing some dystopian technology to use against players. If I recall they already implement voice recognition. That little tidbit I wasn’t privy to and I’m not cool with it whatsoever. I’m pretty sure at least half of the PC community won’t be cool with it either. As of this morning steam has pulled the game from 60 countries and is apparently giving refunds to anyone who wants one regardless of country. Sony just killed their best cow. Unless there is a reversal this game is finished. Yeah, I won’t be purchasing anything from Sony ever again if I can help it. Furthermore, anything requiring a second party log in can get fucked. Nope, not doing this again |

Naturally, he is unhappy about the departure from the established lore, but might be too far into development to walk away from it. All I can say is, be willing to seek alternative (older?) games or walk away from the hobby entirely if it's going to consume the industry & corrupt the gaames.

I logged on a minute ago since ive not logged on in a couple of weeks and holy shit has the player base dropped. Theres less fighting the entire map than there was at certain times on one planet before. The constant nerfs got some like me, but the PSN thing is really taking a toll. |

Friend came over and when it was all said and done the two of us had over 1k dead bugs combined. It was nuts. We had stalkers, groups of hunters just coming out of thin air. You name it, it was on our ass. Lol |

When they crank the spawn rates up the AI can only come up with some many ways to put more enemies on the map and you start getting cheap shit like that. Fortunately they nerf all the weapons so AI won’t need to spawn as many as the players won’t be able to kill the ones already on the map. |
