It's good guys vs. bad guys (Law vs. Breakers)
Whichever team you're placed on dictates your roster

Just played my first few matches on the PS4. Played as a Harrier. Movement is so much fun, but the damage seems a bit lacking. I did fairly well though, considering these were my first 4 matches. Seems i'll have to get used to the strengths and weaknesses a bit.
First crate I opened I got a super boss skin for Kintaro. Too bad the Enforcer doesn't seem like my cup of tea. Though those Hellfire missiles have wrecked me a few times.

I have it on PC and I'm having a lovely time, but I'm sure it's going to bomba. It already has a small player base and it's pretty unforgiving to new players. Also there is no competitive mode yet and they don't have a time line on it.

Pretty weird a competitive arena game like this has no ranked mode.

Its a new IP. OW didnt launch with a ranked mode either iirc. They want the community to dictate what's considered "competitive"
Wow I am off today!

You have to realize too, if there's already a small playerbase, adding a ranked/competitive mode only splits the playerbase further

Well yea but it'd make it even harder to fill matches (and fill them quickly lol)
That's the thing even if Lawbreakers is a "bomb" if theres 1,000+ people still playing it's enough to sustain the game for the players.
I played Killzone Shadow Fall MP from launch onward and it was generally between 700-1500 players. (might have been regional servers though) Never had issues finding matches for several months

I don't mind it either. I also play Rising Storm 2 and that game never breaks 2k players and I can always find full lobbies.

I think it's a good decision at this point not to put in different playlists. Just having one Quick Match hopper that everyone jumps into is much better than splitting people up. Titanfall 2 made that mistake on launch with a ton of different playlists with a small playerbase but eventually they fixed it by allowing people to queue multiple or all at once.

Fun fact, since you mentioned Killzone. Arjan Brussee (Cliffy B's partner and Co-founder of BossKey) is also Co-founder of Guerilla Games.
lol it's fine
Seems night and day faster and much better looking on PC.
Just came out also.. a lot of people still figuring things out.

Starting to move away from Gunslinger. You need to be ridiculously optimal to keep up with Vanguard or Wraith's damage, you can only run away when there's a Titan anywhere near, and his movement is just sub-par.

I'd love to get some people from GAF together in a game so if you guys are all on PC then we should get a group going tonight. It would help avoid poor team balancing and this way if someone has a main character they like to play they know they'll have people to fill other roles like healer.
I actually prefer it to other games where control of the point can go back and forth throughout the match, it's just a different experience in terms of moment to moment gameplay.
If you know you have to hold the same point all match then you'd probably spend most of the match guarding the point and circling it, if you know it's an immediate lock then you either rush the point before anyone reaches it or fight for it, capture it, then move onto the next one.

There's something not right about blitzball, and I can't put my finger on it. I generally love capture the flag type game modes. I've had this feeling through the betas as well.
I think it really is the shield timer. It's too long or it needs to deplete automatically after a set time.

I don't know. Vanguard maybe, but you can overpower the wraith if you get the jump on him. Omega ftw.

I had a lot of losses early too, but it's turned around. It can be a bit frustrating but I've found as I've played more the people understand the modes more and I've been having some killer team fights. No voice chat on PS4 as far as I can tell right now, although I may be missing it.

I'm starting to try and get the hang of the movement system that I see the really good players using where you use your movement ability to get an impulse of speed then use bhopping to maintain it while you are in base zones. It's easy with Assassin because her movement ability is just a straight jump forward which gives you a lot of speed and it's easy to maintain, but my main objective is doing it for Vanguard.
I've got it somewhat down but I think I can be a lot better at it. The cool part is you can use just a little fuel to get going then continue that momentum through via bhops to mid/antigrav where you will now have a full tank, instead of wasting it just getting out of base.

I believe so yes.
First win. Uplink 3-0 and 14k 3d. Loving gunslinger, getting some awesome kills.

I've seen a lot of Vanguards play but never tried that one myself. Gunslinger is my fav so far.

Yes, the nine classes are the same for both teams (Law and Breakers).
Enforcer.

In the betas I found myself bouncing between roles a lot more but since release I've been pretty much only sticking to Vanguard (unless my team is lacking in variety of picks or if I'm failing horribly)
I enjoy the boosters and playing keep away to shred with the chaingun

so I am unable to play this at ultra everything on 1440p with ultra on every setting on a 1080ti with 32gb ram and an i7 7700k?
wtf?
wtf?

PC players, what fo you have resolution scale set to? I imagine 100% would be what we want, no? Anything less/auto would be blurry.... i think.
Got it thanks.
Odd....
1080ti ftw3, 16gb ram, i7 6700K @ 4.5GHZ
Running the game with everything maxed/ultra and taa gettinf between 130-143fps (capped)

I have the same system as the boss key one here http://forums.lawbreakers.nexon.net/discussion/4757/pc-specs-guide and I am getting 60fps often 58fps wtf. I have dual monitors will that make a difference (not using it for anything but extended desktop so not used in game) and this is at 1080 not 1440p. Will the refresh rate of my display make a difference.

sounds to me like you have an fps cap set somewhere. Maybe MSI afterburner, maybe nvidia inspector, maybe evga precision x, maybe RTSS? Or perhaps some sort of weird gsync/vsync setting combo? The game also has a FPS cap setting. I would look around and make sure your not missing something
Not sure whats going on, but you should definitely be able to achieve 120+ FPS without breaking a sweat.
With the hitching fixed, I'm really enjoying this. Kind of sticking to just one class per match so I can get a feel for each one and I really like the Juggernaut the most so far, followed by Enforcer. Need to try some of the speedy classes next. So close to an S+ rating two matches in a row

Ah ok np
If there isn't one yet I'll look into setting one up, even if we share one for PS4/PC at least we can all hang there and share tips
