@ToastedSarnie If BfN doesn’t feel that way to me by the end of January, I’ll be done with it. Sad to say but I’m too old to sit around and PLAY a GAME that nonstop infuriates me. The GW games brought my family JOY.
At this point in our lives, we don’t spend (wife and I) much time on things that don’t enhance our lives... sorry to ramble... but.... I love gaming/mentoring to youngsters and really hope this gets straightened out before my patience wears too thin. 🙇♂️
@spIash_damage I do hope this patch makes things more fun for you. I've not been infuriated at this game yet, I did finish the Quake 2 expansion 'Ground Zero' Sunday and THAT infuriated me unlike the original Quake 2 or the 'The Reckoning' expansion I'm working on now, but I can see why BfN would be frustrating.
The most infuriated a game made me was actually WoT where so many bad teams in a row one night made me smash my monitor so hard it no longer worked and I had to grab my backup and then buy a new one (which I still have today).
The part about BfN that frustrates me the most is that there is so much to love here but its held back by the current aiming/control issues and balance problems, with a few others that aren't as critical (I do want Ops to be improved though). It's just a pinch away from greatness, you can see it right there in front of you, but a few key issues hold it back.
@Iron_Guard8 Always such an asset to the community....
Try out PvP in BfN for a full evening (without searching for the “right” server) and I am afraid you’ll be in for anger. 🙁
This title has more little boys playing 1 or 2 characters only and switching teams as much as any I’ve seen. I also get killed in a fraction of a second and often times have NO CLUE who or what killed me (until I see the name plate).
My spatial awareness is well above average and I have 100/100 up/down fiber cable so I can’t imagine how newcomers would feel.
I’ve refrained from saying much about why I don’t play PvP until now because I didn’t wanna be a kill joy but I used to LOVE PvP (in fun servers) in the other games (and any online game I’ve ever played)... this, though, is LAME to me.
I can be 1st or 2nd every match (for the most part) but I am not willing to use the tactics it takes to do so in BfN.
Anyone that’s ever gamed with me or watched my videos knows I LOVE to be a game changer/sacrifice myself for the greater good. Used to, I’d take out 3 - 8 players with me before I died and gave my team a chance to win/advance but now I run out and die without seeing a bullet or anything.
Just... struggling. 😢
@spIash_damage Oh I have played many PvP matches here already. Before they fixed the bulb XP I would play hours of TT to get them and it just doesn't bug me as much as it does some people. I am playing a little more cautiously than I like, but it hasn't been as frustrating for me as it obvious has for others. Not saying it's ideal because it isn't, but my experience here hasn't been as bad.
I have seen the Scientist assassins we all dislike but not in the profusions some have reported. Same with Space Cadets/Stations, I'll go 10 matches in a row and see maybe 3 of them total I'm seeing a broad mix of characters in matches overall. I do see some that only play one side/one character, over and over but I've seen that since GW1.
It's been about a week and a half since I hit PvP hard, so it may be worse but last time I sat down and played for 3+ hours of PvP, I did enjoy it.
Today's patch has a LOT of work to do, it sounds like it could well make or break the game for many people!
Really the only thing that gets me frustrated on this game is how people sit near the team gates at giddy park and just XP farm. Sometimes I just wanna roam around in giddy park with friends but the people puppy guarding the spawn area make it IMPOSSIBLE to get our of the spawn area. And when I do get away from the spawn area, somebody always chases me and finishes me off. I know it's a combat area, but I wish people would be more respectful of freedom in the game.
- @PineapplePiano Maybe try putting your world settings on Private and just getting in a party with friends. I haven't been in the public Giddy Park since before Founders ended. I play private with AI so I can do quests and things and so it isn't too boring.
@PineapplePianoAs TLEsquire said go private with friends and Ai, if I'm in the mood I'll try bust up spawn campers for a challenge , sometimes can be done, one instance I saved done it many more times though. (video in link)
https://youtu.be/PeQLOFwJbGELol I never considered making a private match- I'm kind of new to online multiplayer games and how they work. Thank you for your suggestion!
