Bean bomb not exploding

Today during some TT, I realized on 3 separate occasions that my bean bomb had deployed but never actually exploded or did any damage. My bean bomb did explode at other points in the match, but whenever there was overwhelming and extremely busy visual action, the bomb never went off. It seems as if the system gets so caught up and overwhelmed in trying to keep up with the unworldly amount of unnecessary visuals that it doesn’t have the resources to account for many of the actions, including properly assigning damage and or credit for damage. 

The amount of visual funk on the screen also plays a roll in the firing rate inconsistencies talked about. Maybe it’s time to cut back on some of the unnecessary junk constantly on the screen? I’m about 2 games away from having a seizure and I’m all out of Dramamine to combat the motion sickness. Beautiful maps with intricate design are pointless at this point, you can’t see anything other than sparkles and giant goatish looking pink nightmares. Sometimes I feel like I’m reading an old school Where’s Waldo book instead of playing a video game. (That’s not a compliment) 

Cut down on some of the reckless misuse of visuals and use some of the resources made available by that to improve game play. It doesn’t matter how pretty someone looks dancing with sparkles all around them, if they can’t play the actual game. 

  • @GraveledStoopid This visibility issue's been a thing since GW2 (maybe 1 as well? idk never played it) and it gets on my nerves, how AM I supposed to see what I'm doing when 2 bean bombs, a sap trap, a zpg, and 14 shield dummies are in the same place at the same time?

  • Dud abilities hindered me yesterday in Lunchtime event.... BAD some matches.  Also was shooting completely through the very middle of characters hit boxes- for naught!?

  • @spIash_damage Imps hit box is ridiculous. Common sense says, when everyone plays the same character, there is an issue. I can’t wait for the shareholder meeting in February’ish for EA. Can’t wait to discuss the direction of the company and see where their forward guidance is. Unfortunately this isn’t the only game EA is having troubles with. They rushed at least 3 releases last year and all of them are struggling. (This one included)

    I’ve been a fan for a long time, but the toxic environment in game (caused by lack of playability) and lack of guidance on these major issues has me very disappointed. Disappointed in customer service, disappointed in the product, but mostly angry because I bought 2 copies of a game based on previous experiences with EA and popcap, that isn’t playable. The amount of time and effort put into the micro transaction process and skins when the game has obvious flaws, feels like a giant slap in the face.

    I want to like the game and play, I really do. It’s just not refined and releasing it this earlier has left a very sour taste in my mouth.

    @GraveledStoopid  Agreed.

    Im giving the game one final month before I retire or go back to GW2, especially if we’re still being ignored regarding Rainbow Stars and Team Swap.

    Dang - I really want this game to work.
