I think youre just burned out. The thing you’re mad about aren’t really legitimate issues. This isn’t a competitive game in terms of balance. Part of the appeal of the genre Is you literally don’t know what will happen each game. I’m a pretty decent player and I can recognize where you are coming from sort of but at the same time you are complaining about things that would make the game worse imo. And I’m not saying this as someone who will just defend the game blindly. I don’t even play it that much anymore.

I have 1000 matches played and I burned out on it a while ago. You having 2000 makes me think you are just tired of it and need to move on

The main things I want right now are.

1. Fix the lag at beginning of games on PS4. I do not know if this is a problem on all platforms but after the last update or so I get some lag right before landing. Really screws you sometimes when racing for a weapon. This was never an issue for me until the last couple of weeks. It is not every game though.

2. Remove Guided missiles or nerf them. Pretty tough to counter at endgame when a team builds and protects the one shooting them.

Lately I have had a thing where my first few games will run just fine then suddenly I will just lag to hell. This is ps4.

Yeah the guided has really ruined endgame for squads, it's pretty horrible

Personally I think they fricked up the ARs pretty bad with first shot accuracy. It feels like they're more accurate in general. They're fricking laser guns now. It might be different just because I'm on PC, but it's worse than ever. It's just a game of peek shotting now, pretty disappointing

I have always played on a Pro, I have never had any problems until recently. They messed something up in the last 3 weeks.

Very confused about this complaint.

You're angry that the first shot actually goes where someone is aiming it?

Yep.

I'm fine with guns being more accurate, if they wanna switch from bloom to full-blown recoil or whatever, fine. But in that case it needs to be reduced damage. Because right now ARs have insane DPS, especially at medium range, and it's encouraging boring gameplay

Having first shot bloom is stupid. The first bullet should go exactly where you place it. Gives the edge to more accurate shooters. Every shot afterwords should be bloomed. I hate bloom due to its RNG nature, but it's necessary in a game where the guns dont have recoil.

better than 90% of the game being shotguns

They did add damage fall off to the AR. I don't find it too big of a deal. I noticed the revolver is actually usable now though.

I would agree with you if you had this advantage when you were moving too, rather than just standing still.

IDK if you play PC, but Fortnite on PC is becoming a camp fest really fast because of this. Of course it isn't fully a camp-fest just because people are trying to still play the fun/old way, but as more people understand how OP the ARs just became it will keep getting worse.

I just don't understand the direction of the game at the moment. The guided + the first shot acc have completely wrecked the game. If I wanted to play a slow, measured game I'd just play PUBG

Yeah, I know, but the ranges where the damage falls off aren't the problem. The problem is close range to mid range. There's no drop off and the AR is a laser with insane damage.

You should 100% be penalized for firing while moving. Every game ever has this.

It's a counter meta. How do you beat shotguns? Try and fight them from distance. There will be plenty of new build strategies to counter

I mean yeah, not sure why we're only mentioning ARs here when shotguns still one shot from a stupidly unreasonable distance... The best players will be those who can use both strategies effectively

That's why I don't get his complaining

Shotguns are so dominant, which is what turned me off of the game. More dominant than H1Z1.

I'd much rather get into a skilled AR fight than a jumping around bullshite shotgun fight

Same, but I've learned to use both styles if necessary... Building is a huge aspect of it and it should be because that's what the devs want and helps the game stand out imo
