Season 27 - season start feels good

I have played only about 15 games or so but so far my honest feedback on the game so far is:

  • sounds are very good, i have not noticed glitches
  • wooosh superglide works nicely, it makes superglides fair and it should be easy enough
  • there has not been any sluggishness in fast paced game modes like wildcard and hot drop trios, which is the best thing ever, it is possible to get a good fight within the team
  • movement is smoother than ever, its weird to explain in details but it feels that my hero moves without any waiting time and does what is should
  • match making has been very lucky for me, team mates have been very good or good enough
  • its nice to be able to play few games with random team mates with selecting option 2 after a match - it may be possible to get more friends requests for mostly solo players. this is a  +++ feature.

So basically only positive things have happaned at the season 27 start. Thanks EA :)

Br,

    My post was written seriously at the time (for PC) but for some reason things changed drastically from very good to something not very good. Maybe it was because of new updated GPU driver... I dont really know. 

  • I'm all for the kinds of housekeeping changes they made this season. All of it needed and some of it much overdue. I wish the call out on anti-cheat had addressed something more important than bot accounts, but I guess we have to appreciate whatever we can get on this front.

    Ranked is still crippled with preset drops. Wildcard is still crippled by unlimited and unrepentant speed. Bot Royale is still laboring under the problems created by last season's update. The game in general is still crippled by smurfs. I see very little of what looks to me like overt cheating, but smurfs can give a very strong impression of cheating to a novice player and it's a bad look for the game. Do something about it, Respawn. I will also say that the game is rapidly becoming such a jumble of scan, smoke, speed, and various other abilities that it begins to feel like everyone is cheating, except that they're using dev-built cheats. And I'm not just talking about Wildcard. Although it's obviously worse there than anywhere. And has become deal-breaking. I'm back to trios. Still beset with all its own problems, matchmaking and otherwise.

    The changes they made specifically for this season seem to me to fall into two categories. One: more change for the sake of change. Mantle whatevering. Trident gliding. Sure. If it makes some kid feel cool or some master level player get an edge on the competition. Irrelevant to me. Two: nerfing midrange weapons.  They say it's to change up the meta, but it's really to do what they are always doing in this game: penalizing patient or risk-averse players and trying to force everyone to play fast and up close. Giving me even more reasons to quit matches. I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever finish out a match again.

    I will give Respawn huge props for the party up feature. Long overdue and I'm glad to hear that it's making for a better experience for some players.

     

  • Is this post written seriously or is it some kind of joke, because I don't know how to take it? I think we're playing different games, buddy.

    Is this a review from PC or PS/XBOX/Switch? If it's PC, I'd love to play in the same lobby you're in and have the same experience :D

    I'll add that the sound is still not as good as you describe. I've had people behind me many times without any sound (mainly Horizon). The sound on it was always broken, which is why I was so afraid of it in the meta.
