I don't want quitting punishment in a BR game after death, if a team is really awful and toxic you shouldn't have to stick around for a few minutes waiting to get back on board the hopeless shitwagon, now with zero loot. Maybe reward people that stick around with some bonus XP.
I would prefer if names didn't disappear above teammates while in ADS. I think that would alleviate confusion sometimes.This was a new one. One teammate gets downed and the other team throws a grenade at our feet and start shooting at us. I guess they were confused and then the enemy team rushed us on the dropship..
It's not an issue at all. You just sit there as if you're simply AFK. That's how it's done in other games. Awkward in the middle of a firefight, sure, but usually you just reconnect in 30 seconds like nothing happened.In an elimination type game, a rejoin mechanic would be kind of awkward to implement without exploitation. The only way I see it happening is if you reconnect, but squad must respawn via beacon
Yeah it just seems way too common. It makes the RNG right after dropping even more dominating than most BRs when terrible weapons are everywhere.
Also, deliberately bad weapons have been a thing in pretty much all BRs and whether that should be the case is another discussion. Suitably weak weapons can provide great underdog stories, but Mozambique specifically feels so bad that that dynamic just doesn't really work anymore.
The icons have gotten me killed as well. I wish you could make it so they could disappear when you aim.Is there a way to change size/opacity of downed player icons. Literally cost me a fight because I had a longbow looking into a door where my teammate was down but his stupid red triangle was blocking the entire door where I had a shot to kill the guy.
Another note.... My god the alternator sucks. We all know the Mozambique is bad too but the alternator is not too far behind. Low mag, and absurdly low ROF for a SMG. Pretty sure I can tap the hemlock faster than the alternator fires. I don't see a purpose behind it other than desperation gun in the first drop.
imo vault it and introduce the CAR, that was the SMG in Titanfall that you could shoot while sprinting. Had incredible hipfire accuracy.
I've started leaving if someone's already left the game before we even land, once the game gets going I'll stay until the end even if it's just solo
Amazing how many people leave in the time between the character select screen and the countdown to leave the ship, presumably because someone picked their precious favourite character
Rating and a report system are something the devs are working on or planning to work on.This game desperately needs a review system for random team mates.
Obviously I can give new players a pass but to have a level 30 player run past my banner to loot the enemy while I time out stings.
I really wish there was a way of warning other players that may be matched up with him/her in the next game.

Better yet, they should have new players go into placement matches until level 10.Rating and a report system are something the devs are working on or planning to work on.

The Alternator was a hipfire gun in Titanfall 2 as well. It had the same ROF but a high damage per bullet and it shredded.Is there a way to change size/opacity of downed player icons.

What do you mean by this?I've had multiple 1v1's now end with a healing Lifeline. Her bots animation to heal other characters interrupts what would be wins.
And you'd be able to get them all from a single chest!So you're saying I can start running with 4 R-45s instead of just 2? Yes, please.
If you get near Lifelines health bot there is a short animation that interrupts you from firing. It's just long enough to make all the difference in close range combat. You also can't melee while the animation is happening.
Agreed. I have never ever managed to go back to the lobby and then just ready up and go out again. I have to quit to title every single time and reinvite any friends in my lobby. It's ludicrous.
The match ending screen with your squad's banners needs to have (PS4 here, I don't know PC keys):
- Click R3 to confirm you want to play again with same players - anyone who doesn't do this is goes back to their own lobby.
- Tap down on D-pad as per the main game to say thanks - maybe a different quote that says "good game" type sentiment in your character.
- Menu cursor comes up with a move of the left stick, and you can highlight the other players' banners and get options to view their PSN/XBL profile and add them, and also see the detailed XP stats they got at the end of the match. You can also add them in-game as a "preferred player" so if you find adding people to your official friends list weird or think they might, then at least the game will try to matchmake you over complete random people.
Got ya.If you get near Lifelines health bot there is a short animation that interrupts you from firing. It's just long enough to make all the difference in close range combat. You also can't melee while the animation is happening.
It's getting kind of annoying. Feels like less game discussion.
Honestly i don't think there's a bad character in the game. I actually love Gib, I think he has the best ult in the game. It is true that he's like the least picked character in the game, he's my go to when lifeline is taken which is often. His shield is really good but sometimes really bad too, idk point is he's good!The whole time I've been playing this game (all 4 - 5 hours of it), I've never seen anybody else choose Gibraltar except me.
Am I maining the worst character here? Would be typical of me to choose that haha
Achieved 13 kills (22 with random teammates) in one game, hoping for 20 soon.
But I'm super tired of people dropping as far as possible and looting for 15 minutes without fighting. Please stop. You are lucky I don't have a mic and can't yell at you :)

If a member of my squad does that, I just ping my banner to annoy them until the timer runs out.....and the very next game.
I hot drop with 2 randos. They both get downed. I revive then both with their banners and drop my secondary gun for one of them. We get into a fire fight with another squad and they leave my banner and run off into the sunset.
People don't play him and Caustic because of gigantic hitbox. If you are playing against someone with Wingman, you are probably dead if you don't play correctly.The whole time I've been playing this game (all 4 - 5 hours of it), I've never seen anybody else choose Gibraltar except me.

The difference between the best and worst characters in this game are quite small, because, at the end of the day, every character has the same HP, same normal run speed and guns don't get boosts from characters. Do most people agree that characters like Lifeline, Bloodhound, Bangalore are better than Gibraltar and Caustic in most situations? Yup. Gibraltar has what seems to be the largest hit box and a passive and special that both reveal your position...but also, if you can shred enemies, that isn't the worst thing if you want action. The game is still very new, so who knows, maybe over time people will strategize differently and characters shift around in popularity. But, end of the day, no character is a hard counter to another character, and any squad can win with any configuration if they play well together and maybe get a break or two.I'd play him just for his powerful ulti, but I prefer just shooting his humongous hitbox with other small characters :D
Ya, I brought it up before in this thread, but no one cares. It is annoying, and makes the thread fill cluttered with useless complaints.It's getting kind of annoying. Feels like less game discussion.
Seriously. Dunno why people get so butthurt about it.
