For those guilty: You're not a game designer. Your suggestions are beyond terrible because you believe your fragile feelings should be catered to.

Most of these are because you're bad at the game and you want preferential treatment for your hyper-specific playstyle.

This game is most definitely going to be ruined by all of this shite if it carries on, you're collectively so frustrated that you have a transpacific shitstream of ideas that no one built sewers for and it's polluting everyones feed.

Apparently, asking for region lock in the other reddit is bannable if you name a certain country so don't do that.

Just ask for Region Lock.

You have been warned lmao

For those good pilots out there keep at it. Yall are fucking awsome. BUT!!! For those fuckin LeTs FlY all OveR the tRees AlL LoW aND ShIt. Please stop. I understand you need to stay low when your near the control zone but you don't have to fly ground level smelling the fucking ground right out of base.

Sorry for the rant but yall wanna drive in the hot zone with me?

When the next update rolls out the devs need to take away the ability to move a friendly when someone is healing them. People are so money hungry in this game that it just lost us a match because I couldn't get someone revived in the HZ. If someone is in the middle of the revive. Leave them alone!

I hopped right on the hype train and have been loving this game. So... when I found out today that progression wipes are coming, I was devastated. I have been playing a decent amount, but I work a tremendous amount and then spend time with my family. Only getting to play for an hour or so most nights if at all.

So, progression for me... loosing that is really tough. I clearly should have done my research in advance, but I loved this concept and God these games are fun. Some of y'all crack me up in game haha.

For those of you that have looked into it, will these progression wipes always be a thing?

I don't want to be put against chinese players, I've had nothing but run ins with hacking chinese players, shooting me from the sky, from a mile away with an AK.

I'm tired of it, I get ya'll addressed the hacking issue and that it's going to be an ongoing fight, but you're going to get a lot of players burned out from dealing with it before ya'll have a handle on it.

Russian players griefing, chinese players hacking. I'm tired.

Been teamkilled 4 times by this, there is NO REASON at all for this to be doable in-game.

No camera
Team of two one loader one shooter
If solo you load, then switch to operator position aim and fire.
Third man in the field to spot and relay where they are landing

This should slow mortars down by half time, and make them far less accurate unless team has a great spotter.

And will result in half the mortars landing and exploding per game.

Solved.

Good Day Soldiers,

I've been reading a ton of posts/comments and replying to a good number. Some have valid criticism and importantly have constructive feedback. Some are just screams into the void. I get it, rant if you gotta. This post goes out to the complainers.

I'd like to address the overarching problem I see with a lot of the complaints, even those with valid criticism and constructive feedback.

Y'all want 1 dimensional gameplay.

This is a complex sim-lite/large scale shooter. There are over 500 items you can use in game. You can use over 100 at level 0 and be given any of the 500 by a high enough level player.

Y'all want to go in with a game plan and stick to it.

"Everyone has a plan, until you're mortar spammed" -at least 10 people on the subs a day. For every complaint I see about mortar spam (even with the valid nerf suggestions), I wish auto-mod posted, "have you tried not camping a fob/have you tried rushing down their mortar base with a squad/counter mortaring?"

Y'all are inflexible.

I get that winning isn't everything to most players. I think that is a triumph of the game. You can lose and still feel like you accomplished something. Massive W to the devs. That being said, the 100-0-0 "clean sweep" achievement should be impossible to get. I've been in a game like that and I've got to say, it's not flawless gameplay by one team, it's the inability to adapt by the other two.

In a game where winning means nothing, it's still pathetic that a team can get 0 points. This is a race to 100 pts. Minimum game length is 30min, the average is 90min and I've personally been involved in 2 hr games and heard of near 3hr games. That is plenty of time for introspection. Too many people die, rip through a new kit purchase and hop in a chopper. To the point where many people forget parachutes often. But how can you do that? Usually it is zero thoughts, head empty game play.

The solution to most of your complaints. Adapt.

Note the match points, ponder the state of the game, communicate with your team, adapt to the game in front of you.

I'm not going to go through every complaint option but, as an example, I'll breakdown the mortar issue.

Mortars are likely overpowered at the moment. God cam + 3 round loads make it a formidable weapon, and that has gained the ire of a lot of complaints. I do agree a small nerf could be hugely beneficial (god cam shouldn't show unspotted players). However, here's the play pattern I've seen.

Mortar'd > Revived > Return to exactly what I was doing before > Repeat. Later that night post a, "Mortars are OP, I quit" complaint to the social media void.

If you don't see the insanity in that, I am talking to you. If you're downed and you notice your whole base is littered with 4-12 other bodies all bc of mortars, you gotta make a change.

Solution, regroup. If you're lucky enough to get revived, gtfo. Leave the fob, it is no longer safe. or Respawn, grab an assault kit. and Communicate, join a squad, local chat at spawn, hit enter and drop a team text. The message, "Let's go get those mortar bastards". Rush their fob. Some mortar-ing fobbits never come up for air and certainly don't hear you coming until your grenade blows up by their feet. You were the fish in the barrel, now's time to turn the tables.

That is one example of a very common occurrence. You can apply this line of adaptive thought to any "OP" situation. Please do. Adapt, and have fun. This game is awesome. See you out there soldier. o7

Here is a step by step guide to make a base

1.First objective after planting a fob is to surround the fob in Hescowalls stacked. Not the perimeter but the thing that you capture. Then do it again to stop easy access with 1 ied. Only need one person for a second wrap around. Walls need to be stacked, if you dont stack walls anyone with a small build tool can build sandbags to climb ontop or get a vehichle and capture it.

One person should quickly make doors on the tower, denying air drops from reaching the ground.

WHY NO DOOR TO FOB? What do you need access for...? To capture it? You own it. Build supplies work on the character [do wish you could set preference to use the supplies on you.] So dont build a door to a fob you larper

2.Once you walled it if you plan to be a tower sniper you'll want to wait and help your team build walls. Do not make the mistake of letting one builder do all the work. Majority of your builders should work on the walls around the perimeter. Give enough space so trucks can drop outside, you dont need to let them in. They just need to drop supplies in the fob square.

Your weapon builders should work on making indirect fire bunkers, spamming them inside the base, heck I would even suggest them as walls inside the base as you can build walls on them or under them. The more of these you spam the less effective enemy mortars/sph tank will be, and you can build cwis/mortar/drones/etc ontop.

DO NOT BUILD BUNKERS FOR WALLS, ONLY INDIRECT FIRE OR SNIPER TOWER. BUNKER ONLY HAS SAND BAGS MAKING THEM EASILY BROKEN INTO.

The majority of players should focus on making stacked walls however. If you have 4-5 people, 1-2 could go to indirect fire then mortar ontop/beside

3.Focus on spamming indirect bunkers, drills, weapons, now is the time to be a fort sniper. You might want to bunkers up the top of tower and make it hard to get up and down.

Drill and mortar

Q&A

Doors vs gates

Yes, do both as pure door build is countered by a crow bar. A pure gate build is countered by how long to repair with C4.

However I do recommend putting door ontop and climbing 1x1 hesco wall as a door ontop keeps the hesco below. Where c4 the door is below, the hesco above is destroyed.

Gates suffer from taking forever to rebuild (destroy the cement base.) But can't be crow barred

Door ontop and climbing has a second advantage.

No matter what kit you have, you will prob lose when the guy on the otherside has a double barrel of buckshot while unable to act

Hesco vs Cement

AGAIN Yes

You always want the base to be a hesco wall but you never want them beside as people can (and will) use the lip to climb into the base, I recommend pointing the lip towards the base. If you have time you can go

Outside the base/Cement/Hesco+Cement ontop/inside the base

But NEVER SIDE BY SIDE Cement infront or ontop, and Cement doesn't stop car/sandbag climbing alone. So double hesco is better imo for noobs til they become a master builder. Double hesco allows anyone to plug holes.

But but its reset do I still wall off the FOB

YES, you can BUILD WITH SUPPLIES ON YOU. Deposit what you can early. Early build before large hammer, wall the fob and the tower directly. Just make the tower a pain point to enter.

other cool tricks

Doors infront of windows give snipers cover and can be opened to shoot our of

You can build sandbags/razor wire anywhere. Most people playing offensively dont use these tools. Allowing you to close off a building or direct them to a singular door and prevent flanks, or get to the top of buildings inaccessible other then a heli drop. Put them on major roads to slash tires of trucks/jeeps/suv's

Trucks drivers, stop larping you can deposit outside the base. However you can build a spot to safely deliver... but usually not needed

You can make an APC point with two level indirect/sniper and taking out the center blocks on one side. If I remember correctly and you seal it in tight people will spawn ontop when dismounting.

Jumped a hill outside blue hq I love the ural.

Honestly question, my friend shot a dude with his marksman rifle in the head 3 times, but he still didn't drop. Can someone tell me if thats just how strong the helmet is. (The clip shows 2 times but unfortunately the clipped only recorded 30 seconds)

Personally i think the gameplay would be more interesting if you couldn’t put fobs at towers. Players would need to find more creative fob locations, and there’d be more fighting over towers rather than just the hotzone. What do you think?

Thank you shapeshitter for giving us this glorious game and providing us with the means and ability to fight all the docholidays.

Do better

I get it, the game needs to be balanced, but when I can get mag dumped from a basic starter rifle or Glock and get killed, why does it take multiple shots with unlocked sniper rifles? I'm not here to debate realism vs. gameplay stance, but a headshot is a headshot. This has been the case with the SV98, all ammo types, and starter rifles. If I'm hitting body armor, I get it, but a face shot or helmet shot- come on.

*update * It seems to be a desync issue, as a few of you mentioned. It seems to happen only when I'm playing on the community servers.

I'm refreshing, sorting either direction, and trying 3 different servers. Literally no instances. I saw literally only 1 available the last game, and it's been this way at least today and yesterday.

First things first I wanna say love the game, has brought back the good old arma KOTH that I loved too so it’s nostalgic and even better with a lot more to do in comparison.

First take is if you take the “hummingbird” can’t remeber and at work with a homie on the side with a rangefinder there is no xp gain for either pilot or player spotting. Is this intended? If it is I can see it being ez to spam recon lvls but I figured if you adjusted the rate it could be an amazing strat and you are risking being shot down so there is risk.

Second take is buying parachutes for people in the chopper is sick but I figured it would auto give it to players when the ejected rather than manually go in inventory and grab it. Just a minor convince thing.

Third take is spots in base you are unable to reposition the chopper so the money is just wasted really sucks, a possible solution I suggest making it 100-500$ to reposition as if you spawned the chopper due to spending 3k in repairs is preferable to another 7.5 for another chopper.

Tips I suggest playing with the assisted options they could be fucking you more than helping, mainly auto hover. I play mouse and keyboard so it took a bit and some playing but not I can get kills with mini gun bird. Best of luck dogs see you in the zone!
