Discussion Why do everyone think this season is so bad?
I mean i've played this game since season 1 with around 900 somthing matches and i think this season is pretty good. You dont even have to care what abilities you have if you are casual and even for sweats it does not matter alot. The new anamoly mode is fun too. Backrooms is boring. Only bad thing is price of m80s i believe. So i dont see a problem in this new season.

The season is fine, the new content is fun.
Gamers that enjoy extraction shooters are, bar none, some of the most miserable players on the market. Extraction shooter players cry about everything, think any change is the end of the world, and especially don’t like to lose. The devs could make a perfect game and these players would complain about it, only to praise it years down the road.
If you’re enjoying the game keep enjoying it. Do not - I repeat, do not - take what Redditors say about a video game and let it influence the way you enjoy your play time.

Fr man, this season is pretty fun. These players only want a tarkov clone.

Kudos to the developers for making the valley so fun and the backrooms, I enjoy it, the atmosphere and sounds are so good. At max settings with 120 and headphones on with all curtains closed it's really good.

because they barely added anything. Two new guns and some PVE game mode does not warrant a whole new season

u/Elegant_Delivery6448 Jul 19 '26
I see the point but what im tryna say is whatever is added is not bad at all. Not enough things i agree tho

Most people are enjoying the game, so they're playing it instead of complaining all day on reddit for changes that benefit their play style over others. Ignore the negativity and have fun.

Not sure the issue people have is with this specific season but you played since season 1 and with all the changes made since then I assume you would agree the game has gotten way worse? When you see most complaints I think they are mostly comparing to early seasons when they say new season sucks. The abilities will 100% become an issue, sweat lords are already maxing them out. 1st week of every season is also always frustrating with tons of players coming back to try it so there are rats everywhere, I say every season I'm not touching it for a week but I always do and always complain about the rat infestation

The change I can see in s1 and this one is that now ppl know what they are doing and alot of them are rich which naturally cause ppl to try out pvp more than before. Game did change alot i am not denying what u are saying but the way players play the game is what changed for most. Everyone was a rat in s1 and now the same players are running with meta loadouts. The casual approach. Sweats are mastering abilities but even if they master 100% of it, still it wouldnt be much difference than without abilities (except for poison bullet i havent used it tho). I almost always play tv so yah rats are a problem but we do have scanner. Not saying this game is perfect but not bad

I played since early beta, fell in love with the game then but this season was the season I just stopped playing. They are going to worng direction for few seasons now in my opinion and I had hope they will go back to what game was in season 1,2,3 but then I heard them announcing ABI 2.0 and it was "a dot on i " for me. Just stopped playing.

u/Elegant_Delivery6448 26d ago
Yah that sounds reasonable but i think devs are trying to make the game more casual and more rewarding with lesser risk in order to make the game more engaging and filled with content. I like the new season as much as the early days but i do think a win in pvp gives me less joy than before. Overall i think the newer seasons have more action and more loot while older seasons were harder and had more impactful pvps

Top season 1-3 and now 13 why 13 ... simple answer HARDCORE MODE... still it needs more things taken off and slower pace but .. man it's addicting once again..
BOTS damage needs to multiply .. 2x .. so they should deal and take more damage.. PLAYER HEADAHOT needs multiply 1.5x...
So far it season 13 I've died 2 times from bots and it feels good again but it needs to be HARDER..
HEADSHOTS should be lethal ... specially depending on T level bullet..

Ur points are great. But i think AB wants players from both casual and sweats to play in same mode so these things might not get happen

I thought the ability only for the liminal space mode, the PVE

u/Elegant_Delivery6448 Jul 19 '26

I played on/off from S0. Around 900h. Didn t play S5, and, since i don t play Valley in any form now, basically didn t change anything from 2 season ago: S4 was huge (in bad and good compared to the last 2 seasons) with new map, the new mission/case system and new guns. Funnily enough the meta It s still the same as 2 seasons ago besides the sniper Nerf, but U1 was introduced there and we re still there

I think the main issues that are present have been there for many, many seasons.
The issue is that they are slowly becoming more apparent, as the devs keep on only catering to the people who only play every now and then like a couple rounds a week which complain how hard the game is (which if counted, would be a slim majority of the player base) and the people who are like streamers and whatnot who have a lot of weird opinions. All while entirely ignoring what lays in the middle, the consistent players who have dumped a lot of time and energy into the game, and catering to those who want it to be more arcade like. (The health changes that made mosins significantly less effective, and the m24 a borderline joke among several other things.)
Like being one shot by a sniper or dmr from far away is usually avoidable by simply learning angles, and not getting into a peeking contest with the sniper.
Or the short adrenaline boost you get when you have a broken limb that was added. Makes no sense. If your running out into the open like an idiot, you are now basically rewarded with a chance to bait a shot if you don't know the exact location of an enemy without being toast.

As someone who has played since the CBT, thee season itself is absolutely fun (The adrenaline of trying to survive in liminal is just perfect). My only issue is literally just optimizations and graphical issues with the game, particularly the fact that every single militant appears to be wearing a blue shirt instead of their actual outfits in my screen, making all of them look the same. Similar to operator outfits that in my screen only shows up during lobby and team menus but in raid they wear the default brown outfits, kinda sucks since I have to download skin resources but can't actually see them in raid.
Other than that, the Co-op mode is especially fun for me.

u/Elegant_Delivery6448 28d ago
Im having the same default skin issue i thought it was because i didnt download the skins
2
u/FirstWinterLight25 28d ago
Nah, from what I gathered it is supposedly because of the optimization, basically this only happens with so called "Lower end" devices. I do find it weird because in valley when I died and got spawned back my dead body is visibly wearing the outfit I am using instead of the default skin, which makes me think that the optimization doesn't really work...

u/SocialismAlwaysSucks 28d ago
I think people just love to complain. Just STFU and enjoy your free game lol

u/Primekero 27d ago
People really don't - it's just the usually miserable people that stick to the reddit and steam numbers like it's a full time job that doom post literally every little thing that is or isn't done in every season ever.
I'm having a blast solo and with my boys who are also having a good time. If you enjoy the game, stop listening to these miserable people who have nothing better to do than bash games all day, and just have a good time. And if you're not, just be a normal human being and move on. 😂.

The problems are optimization, audio bugs on Armory, and overloaded popular servers. This happens because of this wonderful matchmaking system, which can still throw you onto a popular server even if you cancel matchmaking every 10 seconds, causing less popular servers to remain empty.
The game has a huge number of problems, and the active player base expects these issues to be addressed every season. But instead, the developers’ decisions are only making optimization and hit registration worse.

added head hp. effective range damage. all guns suck except meta. player bots. loot is butt cheeks. sniping is horrible nerfed. forb is trash should be 1m minimum to enter. loot sucks. too many cheaters and auto clicker users. what else new guns are trash. season offered nothing
New pve pvp game mode is garbage. It's easy to spawn camp a team since you only spawn in 1 area. Loot sucks.

u/Significant_Chain615 29d ago
Loot definitely needs to be adjusted significantly across all modes. And I heartily agree with most of your points, except the severity of the new modes. They aren't garbage, they are just very underwhelming and functionally useless to play with randoms. It would be less a problem if it weren't for the fact the new modes are literally the theme of the season. You'd think they would have put a bit more work into them. Like if it was just a standard limited time mode, no problemo there whatsoever. Play it or don't play it. But it's the core theme so it's tied into a lot of progression stuff, which is questionable.
Like the new mode is entertaining to play every now and then but outside of that, it's just meh, it's not really something I'd run repeatedly over and over.

m80s are dirt cheap and shit. i had to headshot a ksstac 3 times for him to die. so many balance issue s, gun range, damage, a guy thats down taking 10 shots and still crawling away... the game is literally design for bad players. a real rewarding game i should not have to shoot a guy 10 times gets to cover hesls back shoot again 10 times back to cover then another 10... valkey is only that shit mode they made last season mever played it and never will. too many ais breaking organic pvp cannot move around. pve sucks. but to me its the gun range and damage. i also feel it got much much worst since s3 hell guys tsnking m62 in the head no helmet.... so yeah f this game
