First of all, let's stop veering towards a flame war if at all possible. What's odd to me is that some people are saying they always get credit, and in some cases players clearly don't. Does anyone have a video clip where they couldn't (not because I'm doubting you, but it can help us investigate with more info)?

There still is room to improve launch time though. Takes too long after the splash screen disappears for the graphics to go full screen and then play the videos and the epilepsy warning. If the time cannot be improved, then at least have the splash screen stay on screen longer.

But definitely good work on this. Should have happened the weekend of the server maintenance that was supposed to fix it, but that is water under the bridge at this point.

Glad you're seeing improvement. We'll keep an eye out for any further reports. Read more

I think this is what it comes down to. People want to let us know what needs improvement because they know we're looking for feedback. We have an ongoing PTS, after all. There's different kinds of negativity. Constructive criticism is always welcome, and really as long as you don't flame other people you're going to be fine. Read more

Enemies spawning on top of/behind players is something we've made sure to bring to the team's attention.

Do you feel like the game is fine at its current state and no changes need to be made?

Or...do you feel like changes need to be made?

I mean, most everybody will likely vote for "Changes must be made" because the other option is 0 change. 0 changes is highly unlikely in a live game. Is there a more specific topic you're wondering about rather than just the general state of the game? Read more

The issue is indeed still present. The team is continuing to work on it. Until the team applies a fix, please know that not alt-tabbing may lessen the impact of the problem.

Yeah, this guy was in a world of hurt and I'm thinking this may not have been a good idea lol

We started dispatching multiple NPCs except one that was extremely crafty and kept healing himself. Pissed me off so when I got an opportunity, I dropped 2 nades on him from my launcher and we was dead. Then I saw this blue light where he died so I ran over. It was a mask. I'm like, Oh sh*t! Did I just kill a Hunter?!? This guy was farming a Hunter and a band of NPCs showed up. As we finished, 2 other guys joined in and we procee...

Appreciate your feedback on the change, OP. I'm seeing that some of you aren't fans.

It's the common factor in almost every post. Devs can't seem to figure it out. Players are too stubborn to admit it. Gun damage multipliers are BROKEN.

Hmm, that's an interesting way to break it down. Read more

I don't think everyone here is going to agree with your take on things, but I can certainly understand your PoV based on the way you wrote this. Thanks GrimTwilight.

I'm not overreacting to one thread, but I do think it's worth mentioning that the problems that OP is describing are ones that the dev team has made adjustments to. In one case, very recently. I've seen that not everyone agrees with the NPC nerfs. Read more

And I'm sure I'm forgetting many things. But that's what I've seen in the last hour in Tidal Basin. That would be quite nice, guys, if you could kindly STOP YOUR ********.
What is this crap? Who the hell had the stupid idea to do that? And who thought no one would notice how much most of those impossible situations happened all the time?

We reduced difficulty to varying degrees in Hard, Challenge, and Heroic recently: https://forums.... Read more

Nobody has to prove or not prove anything, tbh, but it would be nice to talk about where exactly the easiness is coming from. What are you getting away with that the game should punish? What level of difficulty should be aimed for? I would love if we could point to specific things that used to happen to players that you believe should still happen in the most difficult content. Also, please keep in mind that this topic is very subjective. No-one on either side is trying to be stubborn; people have a range of opinions on this and it's always going to be that way to some degree. Read more

Restoring this thread to its rightful place. Apologies for the confusion!

Highly impressive work! Since this is a fair number of videos, I've moved this over to the Community Creations subforum and left a redirect back on General Discussion.
