Wow, this crate system is more fucked than I thought. The two free ones are random? The Gamescomm one costs 1200 points out of the gate? That's so ass.

I got 3 of each of the free ones, debating what to do do with them.

That's pretty easy, just sell them in the market.

 

[Velikost]

I mean, yeah, I'll definitely sell the Survivor ones at least, but do I sell them now, or sit on them for months

 

[Script of the Bridge]

Is the patch really 5gb or is steam making me download the game again for some reason?

:-(

Praise Jebus. Good that they didn't listen to the people wanting this that just made everything feel laggy.

Sell them now. Wanderer and survivor are the new "regular" crates and won't be phased out for a while. The only crates worth hoarding are the Gamescom ones, and even those you can probably sell now and buy them back in a couple of days for cheaper.

Should I open the crates to try and get an item that sells more or just sell them?

Hadn't heard this. The item pool is going to stay the same for them as well?

 

[AnythingBut]

It seems duo fpp only has issues on EU servers, works fine on NA, can see the player indicators and names fine.

 

[OmegaTreeFish]

I have barely played this game so pardon the noob question. Cabt i have a run down of the crate system. Is it just buying with currency you make in game are are there any completely free crates to be earned?

 

[Lemonte]

I got 3 of each of the free ones, debating what to do with them. Is there any definitive list of what's in the Gamescom crate yet?

You can see ingame what the crates contain.

 

[Lender]

Is Duo FPP bugged right now? I can't see tags over my teammates, can't see them on my map and when one of us dies the other one's game ends as well and get no coins whatsoever. I can't think this is normal? (EU server)

 

[Protein]

Did the hotfix fix the lag?

 

[bgbball31]

Dang! Just played my first FPP on live, got second. Also, if the Gamescom boxes are any thing like the PTR versions, expect school pants. Lots and lots of school pants. I opened the 5 on the PTR and got 3 pairs of school pants. Whoever gets anything really rare out of there will probably be sitting on a gold mine.

You guys think the first person only mode will be more popular than third person eventually?

 

[Jobbs]

You guys think the first person only mode will be more popular than third person eventually?

FP mode is more stressful and intense in a game that is already stressful and intense. Third person is more chill. For that reason, if I had to guess, I'd say third person remains most popular among the general playerbase.

 

[DodgyGeezerFella]

Damn FP is intense, I like it a lot. First game came third, because I still fucked up weapon fire rates and had it single shot in an up close encounter, dammit.

 

[BizzyBum]

The only thing I hate with third person is being able to peek around corners and over walls while prone. Seems lame to me.

Wait, so is everything back to normal, or is F looting now "as fast" as drag and drop?

 

[iosa]

OMG the lag, got punched to death by a guy because my gun wouldn't load xd

 

[MontyBrown]

The only thing I hate with third person is being able to peek around corners and over walls while prone. Seems lame to me.

But that's part of a third person game. Everyone has the same ability.

It's how it is in all competitive third person games?

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Drag and drop has been reverted to how it was.

F was going to be instant like drag and drop, but they changed their minds and just made it slightly faster than it was before.

 

[Sub_Level]

That mistake happened to me today too. Should have kept it full auto. Fuck.

Good.

I know, which is why I prefer first person more.

 

[HowZatOZ]

Something that really bothers me about this new Microtranasction crate is that the items like the suit and the camo cap are things that we've had shown to us before, in dev screenshots from months ago and even on the games loading screen. Advertising the game and teasing players with items that you have to throw even more money at them to get (despite there being no mention of that before now at all) just doesn't seem right to me. Even the steam store screenshots has them included. It just makes the whole thing seem even more scummy.

It is all purely cosmetic and adds no game advantage to you? Who cares? That my general position with cosmetic additions, why bother getting upset when you can still play the game perfectly fine?

 

[Fahzgoolin]

OMG the lag, got punched to death by a guy because my gun wouldn't load xd

Yeah the lag is unbearable until there is only about 50 people left.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

I just tried a colorblind mode and it made the red zone circle on the map bright yellow green and the sight reticles blue.

 

[ThePeoplesBureau]

I sold a shirt for £13.50 earlier. This game is great

 

[SeppOCE]

But that's part of a third person game. Everyone has the same ability.

The person peeking/waiting at a corner has a pure advantage though. 3pp is hardly competitive.

 

[Sub_Level]

This game is rather unplayable today. Especially the first few minutes of a match.

 

[HowZatOZ]

I just tried a colorblind mode and it made the red zone circle on the map bright yellow green and the sight reticles blue.

I'm not even colourblind and I usually turn on those settings. I've just found the changes to be much nicer than normal.

 

[MontyBrown]

The person peeking/waiting at a corner has a pure advantage though. 3pp is hardly competitive.

But if you use corners/cover the same way it cancels that advantage out. Like I said, everyone can use the perspective in the same way.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Guy jumps from balcony and I unload an entire Uzi into him.

He teleports 8 feet to the side while still in the landing pose, revealing that none of my shots were actually aimed at him, he plinks me with a revolver with the final shot getting me when I'm behind the corner.



bluehole please

They can use it the same way but at the same time its not necceserily equal either. The way the game forces circle rng can push you towards areas where a person peeking with 3pp advantage is going to kill you. There is no countering this especially at high levels of play.

Its a really big rabbithole to go down arguing this so im going to stop haha

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Okay here is the secret downside in FPP: if you're trying to back up you will have a higher chance of getting caught on something you can't see at all.

Hey, that's just real life, man.

 

[jet1911]

The only thing I really don't like about the FPP is that the camera is still way too low.

 

[Podge293]

I enjoyed my games in FPP a lot more than I thought I would.

Though somehow I got killed in a house by a red zone. First time ever dying in one

More common than it should be.

... which can happen in every FPS ever? How is that a secret?

 

[MUnited83]

Should I open the crates to try and get an item that sells more or just sell them?

Depends if you want to gamble or not. In average, selling them is the smarter option. On the other hand it's possible you can hit the jackpot and get a 150$ skirt.

 

[Podge293]

More common than it should be.

I was super pissed. Had a solid load out (for me anyways) and was more or less centre of the circle.

Stupid red zone

 

[Mbolibombo]

Shit is practically unplayable now.

Not only do I have massive lag, but my FPS has dropped like a stone in this patch.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

... which can happen in every FPS ever? How is that a secret?

It was a tongue in cheek comment about how that just killed me because I instinctively tried to back up around a corner and got caught.

 

[Acinixys]

Everyone who was moaning about crates, i hope you are enjoying the free cash

I just made $38 selling them. Game paid for its self

 

[mullet2000]

Why can't I sell my items from the new crates till 08/09?

I've been using the mobile app for years. I thought that allowed you to sell immediately.

 

[ffejeromdiks]

Not exactly, peeking from right corner has a huge advantage over peeking left, so one guy is usually going to be at a disadvantage.

 

[Zacagawea]

why

 

[Profanity]

why

Because you hold the gun on your right side, and therefore have to expose more of yourself round the corner to shoot without obstruction during a left shoulder peek.
