"Enemies get double damage, My legend gets half damage"
This is a false statement if what you mean is that EA is giving some players the ability to deal more dmg per bullet and other players less.
Lets not spread false information.
I see that you are currently frustrated with the game, we all need breaks sometimes.
I have taken anywhere from 1-2 week or even 3-4 week breaks from the game and came back very refreshed for it.
I wish you the best of luck, gaming and IRL.
@Asmodeus566 I'm not making any claims, I'm just sating my first hand experience.
I've played this game since season 1. Took a long break. Came back.
I know how the game works when it's working right.
I'm getting downed within half a second, fullshields and health from a Spitfire gun;
I've emptied a whole spitfire magazine into someone's back and they run off. I then empty another half a magazine into their back as they're running off and they do not get downed.
Their shields barely shatter.
I'm getting shot feedback on each hit.
You can't tell me that is normal. I know for a fact what is normal. That's not how the game was working beginning of season. Wasn't how it was working in other seasons. Maybe at points. But you cannot deny that that is my experience.
I was good hundreds of kills ahead of my deaths, within 3 days of playing (for only a couple hours at a time), my deaths have surpassed my kills.
I have a positive kd each season (maybe barring 1 or two I don't know)
I average 60-80 wins per season.
My wins are currently on 24.
Win lose draw I don't care (I do), but if when I shoot people they take the same time/dmg to kill as do I (all other factors equal) then I have no complaints (beyond MM (; ).
But this is not the case. You know it.
You stand then and head on hit someone with a whole spitfire mag, enemy does not even move laterally. You drill them with every shot. Then "boom boom" 2 shots and you're downed in less than half a second.
Even with the same gun. That is the experience. This isn't about "take a break", that won't change anything.
I'm not making any claims about this or that, I'm just stating the cold facts of my experience.
And this is with 12-40ms connection and no packet loss.
Again, not making any claims about whatever, just detailing my experience. Others too are having this experience.

- @1ronKeys There's either a connection issue, server issue or game version issue. I've not had the issues you've had once this season and I've played on local NA 25 ping and EU 125 ping. You've mentioned you are on PS4. I am on PS5. This season they added the upgraded version for next gen consoles. Perhaps that's why there's an issue. The other guy on this forum complaining the most is on switch. From what I've seen of gameplay on that the difference in frames is crazy and can explain a lot of the issues. Now let's apply that to your game. PS4 maxes out somewhere in the 40s for frames. If more of the playerbase is on 120 frames perhaps that's part of the issue.
- @hayhor so I was wondering this too. Or similar.
Because obviously you probablt won't see every shot. But I'm literally seeing two bullets. Downed. So that could make sense with frame rate perhaps.
However the issue that would still remain is enemies in situations where I'm not being shot at, and it's taking that long to down. So I can say it's taking 3 seconds to down an opponent with shots landing. So that doesn't seem right.
It's just unplayable. No other kind of lag issues or anything. You just get downed instantly. All the time. I'm literally struggling to get any kind of knocks. Even in cases I'm getting up to 1000 damage. And even getting the damage is difficult if you get in an actual fight. It's down and out. With immediacy.
Is the game unsynced or something? Is that something that could happen?
I never said that these incidents that are afflicting you are not happening I just said it is not EA tweaking individual damage rates like you have insinuated.
@hayhor Is probably on the right track here.
I used to have an older PC and at times I struggled with "like" issues. I have a very new RIG and have had no such problems. Staying up to date on hardware, software and internet goes a long way.
Playing on a Switch vs other consoles like PS and Xbox or even in PC lobbies is sure to get you wrecked more often than not.
As far as "older" consoles this could be an issue as well.
This is one of the reasons that I am for lobbies being separated so that all are working off of the same basic tools level: Switch vs Switch, PC vs PC, and all of those different PS and x-box players playing vs the same type of console and model type. This would make the game more even footed and more enjoyable IMHO. However I can see from a marketing angle why they (EA) have cross play so that those with friends on different hardware can play together.
I am just glad I do not have friends that play this game on Switch because I would not play with them because they just cannot compete due to their hardware limitations and it would limit their and my enjoyment.
