can you ask the devs about a possible change to the friend system? specifically adding friends mid game/ being able to find someone off of their player name? i can't remember how many times i met cool people in game but never got to play with them again because i forgot to ask for their account name.

Im a dad and one of the main reasons i love this game is because i can just hit play and not have to wait in a queue like tarkov i can actually crank out a bunch of matches in a decent time so i really hope they don’t fuck that up
'map switching' while I'm queued is absolutely unacceptable. If you pick a map and hit start you should be able to wait for a lobby in that map, no question.
Dude yeah this is some bull shit. If I’m trying to boss in trios, I don’t want to have to sit through 15 min of ice caves because oops I didn’t time it right. Especially with so many maps being quest specific it’s going to suck ass getting bounced to another map when your entire reason for queing was to quest on the map you selected.
If you actually tried it in test, you would know that the map does not switch for you. It will instead have you wait for the entire rotation for people to queue for the same map you did at the start. It won't put you in another map you didn't queue for.
Am I the only one who doesn’t mind an empty lobby every now and then? I’m definitely not okay with queueing for GC and getting ice caves. This changes feels super strange
Doesn’t mind them? Unless I’m specifically doing PvP I practically cheer 😂 you mean I can kill troll and cyclops with no contesting and I get all the loot to myself 😮
I've been playing since first play test and if I have to wait in a 7+ min que I just won't play the game again. Main reason I quite tarkov. You are waiting in lobbies that are as long as the game you're waiting to play. Just not fun and a waste of time.
Yeah exactly, if i'm understanding correctly and they can put you in a different map queue, that's awful. Like I don't want to queue for crypts to get my crypts quest done and then load into goblin caves.
It’s not just strange it’s unnecessary. Just let ppl select the map they want even if they have to sit in queue for 6 minutrs. Imagine cueing up for a leage of legends 5v5 summoners rift snd they’re like, “nah that’s gonna take to long. Here’s an aram game.”
skins should be exclusive, but there should always be a skin with same modifiers/hitbox available for blue shard. Like nightmare exclusive, red to buy with real money, white to buy with blue.
CGP Grey said that the first solution you think of is usually a bad solution, so I think the best way to actually get the results IM wants here is to nerf wizard and change the Kris Dagger animation.
If you queue for a map you should stay in that queue until the game starts regardless if it rotate after 2 min. So each map has its own pool of ppl. Would be really bad if you had to cancel search if the game dont start. Would be so annoying to wait x min for another rotate hoping it will fill THIS TIME...

Going the route of picking your own map and entering a queue will just make it worse due to gear brackets. Currently you have all solos for each bracket all in the same respective queue. Make it so we can go anywhere now you have 3
I would rather play a low pop or empty lobby over having to wait 5+ minutes. This game is going to die very fast if the queues are long. Nobody will want to put up with that.

I really hope Ironmace waits until after the ranked leaderboard season is over to make the matchmaking changes. it'll be good if they keep the rules the same for people just trying to grind AP towards the end of the season.
I don’t agree, they should release a new skin with the same stats but you should never be able to get something I earned from a different ranked season like if they sold Demi rewards for past seasons I would stop playing all together I did the same thing with destiny 2.
Wait are you saying that they are changing it so it can put you into a different map than the one you queued for if time runs out? I'm not sure I'm understanding this correctly. If so that sounds absolutely awful.... I don't want to queue for crypts in order to get my crypts quest done and then load into goblin caves.
Hey onepeg! I apologize since I asked this a video or so ago but seeing these changes and hearing you mention "exclusive" during the cut where your camera turned on sparked my curiosity again and had me a little confused. Is the segment where you mentioned like (3:30) IRL money for just quest rewards like the emotes or skins or was it also for ranked rewards? I have really bad fomo and can't always play so hearing that players can get some of the old exclusive stuff or players/friends that joined DaD later might have a chance at some of the old swag would be awesome even if it's not the super OG stuff or charity rewards to show special support or skill or a feat of achievement.
Lobby (for regular, not HR) should be the 3 minutes a map is available before rotating to the next map. End of 3 minutes everyone in the queue is then spawned in randomly with 1 to 7 other players (max count per map of 8 players on solo) spawning several instances of the map to accommodate the number of players queuing for that map, some maps may have a full player count and some may only have 2. Completely random, players are blind to how many other players are spawned in alongside them. If you queued with less than 30 seconds left you can be given a prompt before going into a map asking if you would like to go into current map or the next one but if you wait for the next map you have a greater probability of being spawned with a full map of players. At least that’s what I think would work best, because hose that want a high chance of pvp can potentially get it while those that might prefer a lower likelihood of pvp would have that chance.
This is a neat idea - as people have already said, it gives you a reason not to TK any randoms. I think this is in use on Arena Breakout Infinite and it seems to work well there.
Just let us choose what map we want like how it was before. It makes no sense that I have to wait 4 minutes to play on a specific map. No other game does this nonsense
And idk what you mean “how it was before” but it used to be lobby sized dependent so only solos played on the caves and trios on castle, duos on ruins.. I love the cycling maps compared to that..
@@alexburkhart7006 I mean on such a short timer. Cuz the experience u will get varries tremendously on what map u get. I just wanna get straight to pvp and have fun. I know that’s not happening on ice cave so I don’t wanna have to wait 4 minutes because of bad game design. Apex switches every day, while DnD does it every 2 minutes😂. They are not the same
@@alexburkhart7006 and they could just let u choose what map u wanted like before, but allow all maps and place u in the party size of your choice. It’s not complicated.
Your chat: “We came a long way the skin should be exclusive.” Me, a star citizen player that’s been waiting 12 years: “first time?” On a serious note, they need to turn off the revolving map shit. Let me select the map i want and que when i want. i would rather afk in que for 6 minute than wait 6 minutes to finally start a que for the map i want. It’s weird and unnecessary. I’ve never played a game with a feature like that before. Imagine if tarkov forced you into a different map because no one wanted to play the other one. Sometimes you get an almost empty lobby and to me that’s ok.
I don't care about having full lobbies. I care about getting into a match quickly. I also want to play the map I choose, not possibly have it rotated on me. Bad change, Ironmace!
the random team match making would be alot of fun if you only went up against other people who used random match making. random team going up against premades will make it pretty pointless
Waiting in a que for 7+ minutes only to play a 15 min map is trash. I would rather have an empty lobby that sends me straight into the dungeons, then wait 7 min to get killed by a player 5 min in just to sit in another 7 min lobby. Im all for being able to find a random player to match with, but waiting in que to load in like its tarkov is poopy period. Main reason i stopped playing that game with 20 min que times smh. I'll have my fingers crossed tho.
i mean depending on what you want to play you already have to wait 6+ minutes to get it. we pretty much always wait for gobo cave these days since this wipes changes frost cavern and crypts are just terrible to find pvp reilably. so most of the time we either have to wait 6ish minutes or just rush into the next lobby unprepared cause we cba to wait after every match. all they have to do is bring back map selection. it worked with 8k players so it will with 20-30k
@1235bmu would much prefer the map selection. Yeah, finding consistent pvp in the other two are low, but at the end of the day, I'll take more play time with an empty lobby over wait time for full lobbies. Everyone has a preference. I just don't think wait times long term would be good for the game or players.
I wish someone could have a positive influence on this game. I can’t believe how much I hate this game now. It used to be so fun and it just is not at all. If we would rewind to playtest 1 and just not nerf/remove anything and add in all the QOL and content we would be perfect
Stopped playing this game over a year ago, and couldn't be happier. I touch base with your videos every once in a while to see how the dev for this game is coming; they continue to fuck player choice at every turn. Game quality and design is king, so Ironmace, get to it! Stop trying to move pawns to the side.
Maybe having rotating maps is a bad idea fundumentally. Why are my choices limited when they dont have to be, its only a subtraction from the game imo. Who likes waiting 6 minutes because they were in their stash too long? 6 minutes of just sitting there waiting, or play 15 minutes of a map you dont want.
can you bring the cosmetics from the text server to the normal game ? like e get demigod on the text server but i whot to ply not on the text server its pssibol to usee the skins rewords on the normal game ?
I get your concerns but ranked HR is hot dogshit RN. No gear score brackets and being able to be lowest rank in a match with a demi god would be the equivalent of playing apex legends, loading into your first ranked match playing a predator with a kraber sniper rifle. stupid af and ruined HR for paid players. I hope this helps make the game fun. most people play normals instead for gear score brackets and its just made the game feel dead.
no it would be the equivalent of playing a regular game of tarkov or a regular game of marauders or any other extraction shooter, extraction shooters don't have matchmaking that's part of the charm
Skins should never stay exclusive, just make it so you can earn rewards from previous seasons by doing a similar feat. Let me choose my demigod reward each season, the new one of an old one. Anyone who advocates for earlier season stuff of theirs to stay exclusive is dealing with some MAJOR insecurities - not everyone who starts the game now could have played back then or even had the chance or time to grind for demigod.
i think team killing should be allowed just report the player for bad karma, they need to rework that karma system anyways... after each game you can report people and if theyre bad they can no longer use the matchmaking fill option... youll know bad players in the kill feed too haha or see good players with blue names so its some sort of cosmetic, the goblin return system is cool though too
@@rubiolo1019 Dota 2 has low priority queue for people who are trouble, I never have been there but when you queue with friends with bad internet growing up you get forced into it since enough match leaves could also get you there, an absolute shit show since its just the worst most toxic people with a few people who were unlucky to have the worst internet known to man.
@@dr4g00nk1d as someone who loves to TK, I agree with this statement. However, I don't think something like this should be implemented until we have religions and/or guilds. Considering we're the minority of players, I do see them implementing this before then though. Kind of ruins the end of wipe fun for us, but that's alright. I'd still much rather wait for guilds to be added first so negative karma players can have a community.
the recovery system thoes it chance the cost as well? because i can trade for 15 coins but if my teammate need to buy the recovery itmes back for 200 coins is it worth to bring back itmes ?
@@Onepeg Every time I have tested it that is how it has behaved. I will press start with around 10 seconds left before the map changes. The map changes but I still go into a game on the map I hit start on. Not sure if there are variables that could change this but that is how it has been for me.
@@unmasking7974 no? if its always solo or trio or wtv on a map, then you'd be forced into solo squads to do a certain map then if its solo/duo/trio with all three on each map at once, then there'd be longer wait times and a larger spread
Yeah if i was an rmteamer i would definitely not queue with randoms and kill them and have the other rmteamers queued in the same game loot my dead teammate
i'm sick of you streamers always thinking us west and east are always populated. having a job that doesnt prevent you from playing DaD means you of all people should see the huge dip in the player base late night to early morning until around 4pm... people sleep, have work, have school. only time us west and east are packed at those times is when we are getting invaded by the chinese. cant wait for my 6am lobbies to be filled with people who i can't communicate with. i love RMTers
3:00 I feel like the season rewards should be unique and if they resell em, they should just slightly alter the color. That way if someone got it early they can feel special; AND that person can grind for/pay for the new color and still feel like they've gained something new. (Just make more chromas for revisited rewards and keep the old stuff unique.)
Always agree with this. Having a varient color or whatever tweak so you can differentiate between paid for and achieved MTX is the best avenue. Should be easy enough for them if they keep the change simple enough.
@illusionist19-sl4nh The whole point is that it loses the bonus points of being a reward for doing a specific thing vs. just being able to pay for it. It would be no different if it were simply achievements and not even an MTX. If I'm a person who likes to chase achievements, but other people can just buy them? My chase feels less like a challenge and loses a good portion of the dopamine hit. Good attempt to try to belittle people because they enjoy something you don't care about. Definitely not cringe.
It's the same problem with episodic content in live service games. Someone shows up "Hey what's going on, how do I unlock that content?" except they can't because they missed the time window 4 years ago so if there was something interesting that they would have not minded grinding for at the time they now dont even have the option. Buying the items is less rewarding but seems fair for people who couldn't participate especially if its half a year after the release of the thing and everyone had ample time to flex.

Of my last 7 uploads, 5 of them were 7 1/2 minutes in length or less. Of those, 3 of them were 4 mins in length or less. You only need an 8 minute video to get mid-roll ads. It hasn't been "10 minutes" for 3.5 years. But yo thanks for the comment man. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

no support for previous AP skins being purchased... I held the line since day 1 and i should be able to showcase so. Idc if they add others witht he same stats, but DO NOT give the exlusive AP skins out. Idc if its class skin or fire skin. no support for matchmaking change, i dont see an issue now and ive qued upf or over 1k matches this season. If i want to play a specific map then i should be able to do so
Auto-fill could be a game-changer. They might consider deleting duos and keeping solo/trio. This would streamline the matchmaking significantly (super beefy lobbies and low wait times).
No you seriously don't know what your talking about. You could've brought up any argument concerning player count at the beginning of the year avg 3-4k daily. But I'm on rn and it has 32k players. Can't bring up player base, they've quadrupled their player count in the last 6 months
same devs have just greeded and havent been putting the work in this year and it shows, they got the bag now they shift numbers back and forth and do intern work. Here's the biggest issue: the core of the game and netcode is shaky and messy, and they dont have someone that can just rewrite it all from scratch. There are plenty of money-making bandaids in the game to fix the main problem: the game is unfair and very luck-heavy, we cannot equate these things directly with the game being "hardcore" but more like , Dice rolls, gear checks, class mismatches, refusing to move from optimal positions on the map as the superior class, etc.
- makes game free - then opens up free game to more content - cosmetic only mtx, tasteful too - weekly updates - reacts to "greedy" tactics like on day 1 when extra character slots were locked behind red shards. They made all character slots free. Countless more examples there But yeah they're greedy

End of 3 minutes everyone in the queue is then spawned in randomly with 1 to 7 other players (max count per map of 8 players on solo) spawning several instances of the map to accommodate the number of players queuing for that map, some maps may have a full player count and some may only have 2. Completely random, players are blind to how many other players are spawned in alongside them. If you queued with less than 30 seconds left you can be given a prompt before going into a map asking if you would like to go into current map or the next one but if you wait for the next map you have a greater probability of being spawned with a full map of players. At least that’s what I think would work best, because hose that want a high chance of pvp can potentially get it while those that might prefer a lower likelihood of pvp would have that chance.
im excited for this because i just recently bought this game but i got no friends playing
Can I just get like some black smoke coming off my body when I get my corrupted heart, I mean who’s gonna see the heart if I never die in game?
This is a neat idea - as people have already said, it gives you a reason not to TK any randoms.
I think this is in use on Arena Breakout Infinite and it seems to work well there.
That’s awesome bc if you question In with gear with random ppl if they kill you for your gear it will go to the goblin
Just let us choose what map we want like how it was before. It makes no sense that I have to wait 4 minutes to play on a specific map. No other game does this nonsense
Plenty of games do this? Apex legends seems like a good example… and they make you wait an hour 😂. I’ll take the three minute wait over that.
And idk what you mean “how it was before” but it used to be lobby sized dependent so only solos played on the caves and trios on castle, duos on ruins.. I love the cycling maps compared to that..
@@alexburkhart7006 I mean on such a short timer. Cuz the experience u will get varries tremendously on what map u get. I just wanna get straight to pvp and have fun. I know that’s not happening on ice cave so I don’t wanna have to wait 4 minutes because of bad game design. Apex switches every day, while DnD does it every 2 minutes😂. They are not the same
@@alexburkhart7006 and they could just let u choose what map u wanted like before, but allow all maps and place u in the party size of your choice. It’s not complicated.
Dungeonborne has the same function with the friendly loot extract mechanic, its pretty nice, about the only thing DB has over dad is quality of life
Your chat: “We came a long way the skin should be exclusive.”
Me, a star citizen player that’s been waiting 12 years: “first time?”
On a serious note, they need to turn off the revolving map shit. Let me select the map i want and que when i want. i would rather afk in que for 6 minute than wait 6 minutes to finally start a que for the map i want. It’s weird and unnecessary. I’ve never played a game with a feature like that before. Imagine if tarkov forced you into a different map because no one wanted to play the other one. Sometimes you get an almost empty lobby and to me that’s ok.
If only tarkov could address their rmt and cheating issues. Gotta give it to ironmace, great job dev team!
I don't care about having full lobbies. I care about getting into a match quickly. I also want to play the map I choose, not possibly have it rotated on me. Bad change, Ironmace!
the random team match making would be alot of fun if you only went up against other people who used random match making. random team going up against premades will make it pretty pointless
glad to see them adopt some ideas
Waiting in a que for 7+ minutes only to play a 15 min map is trash. I would rather have an empty lobby that sends me straight into the dungeons, then wait 7 min to get killed by a player 5 min in just to sit in another 7 min lobby. Im all for being able to find a random player to match with, but waiting in que to load in like its tarkov is poopy period. Main reason i stopped playing that game with 20 min que times smh. I'll have my fingers crossed tho.
i mean depending on what you want to play you already have to wait 6+ minutes to get it. we pretty much always wait for gobo cave these days since this wipes changes frost cavern and crypts are just terrible to find pvp reilably. so most of the time we either have to wait 6ish minutes or just rush into the next lobby unprepared cause we cba to wait after every match.
all they have to do is bring back map selection. it worked with 8k players so it will with 20-30k
@1235bmu would much prefer the map selection. Yeah, finding consistent pvp in the other two are low, but at the end of the day, I'll take more play time with an empty lobby over wait time for full lobbies. Everyone has a preference. I just don't think wait times long term would be good for the game or players.
matchmaking needs touch ups but not like this. as a new player im constantly getting in lobbies with lvel 150+ players who just roll me
i dont understand why they dont just lock in whichever map you are currently qued for and make the rotating irrelevant. shouldnt be that hard to do
Aslong as the founders edition stuff stays exclusive I’m okay with that change. If not It feels like robbery
F2P players can't use trading post to give back gear or am I wrong?
u cant
@@oidotsuc5165 not ideal
I wish someone could have a positive influence on this game. I can’t believe how much I hate this game now. It used to be so fun and it just is not at all.
If we would rewind to playtest 1 and just not nerf/remove anything and add in all the QOL and content we would be perfect
How could you not have concerns?
Just don't let players inspect each other.
Stopped playing this game over a year ago, and couldn't be happier. I touch base with your videos every once in a while to see how the dev for this game is coming; they continue to fuck player choice at every turn. Game quality and design is king, so Ironmace, get to it! Stop trying to move pawns to the side.
Hot take but i liked it a lot when ice caves was empty and i could just solo runs and vibe out pve style
Long story short - it's a clone of what Arena Breakout Infinite does with ally gear and just read their system
I think at the end of queuing it should just throw you into the dungeon queue instead of flipping over
Thank god all other maps besides GC sucks. Tired of needing to wait 6mins on map rotations just to play the only decent map available
The matchmaking is broken, so it needs changes. Right now you can meet really new players in the lobbies and way too experienced ones aswell.
Maybe having rotating maps is a bad idea fundumentally. Why are my choices limited when they dont have to be, its only a subtraction from the game imo. Who likes waiting 6 minutes because they were in their stash too long? 6 minutes of just sitting there waiting, or play 15 minutes of a map you dont want.
It’s funny everyone I used to argue with in the dark and darker discord about is all coming to the game…crazy.
Lot of dungeonbourn mechanics just being put into DaD is the TLDR
True but DB marketplace and perks when
well the only good thing in dungeonborne is quality of life, so yeah i don't mind
can you bring the cosmetics from the text server to the normal game ? like e get demigod on the text server but i whot to ply not on the text server its pssibol to usee the skins rewords on the normal game ?
Dungeonborne has this exact system, it works nice.
I get your concerns but ranked HR is hot dogshit RN. No gear score brackets and being able to be lowest rank in a match with a demi god would be the equivalent of playing apex legends, loading into your first ranked match playing a predator with a kraber sniper rifle. stupid af and ruined HR for paid players. I hope this helps make the game fun. most people play normals instead for gear score brackets and its just made the game feel dead.
no it would be the equivalent of playing a regular game of tarkov or a regular game of marauders or any other extraction shooter, extraction shooters don't have matchmaking that's part of the charm
When will these changes be added to the real servers?
I mean it can’t be that bed we wait 5 min to que into a league match
Campire should gives a buff for 3 minutes to makes players benefits from them !
campfires are already broken
@@DioBrando-iq9no maybe they need to decrease the spell recovery from resting with a campfire to balance it
Oh, this is what arena breakout does. Its reallyu nice. Keeps friends from knicking your shit without you knwoing
As a newer player I have to say the map rotation is god awful. I would rather wait in queue.
Skins should never stay exclusive, just make it so you can earn rewards from previous seasons by doing a similar feat. Let me choose my demigod reward each season, the new one of an old one.
Anyone who advocates for earlier season stuff of theirs to stay exclusive is dealing with some MAJOR insecurities - not everyone who starts the game now could have played back then or even had the chance or time to grind for demigod.
Na, needs to be exclusive so that people like you get jealous.
If I bring in a peice of gear for a teammate does it go back to me after we escape lol? Surely it only works if they die right?
doubt it because they would have to equip it when queing i'd suppose
i think team killing should be allowed just report the player for bad karma, they need to rework that karma system anyways... after each game you can report people and if theyre bad they can no longer use the matchmaking fill option... youll know bad players in the kill feed too haha or see good players with blue names so its some sort of cosmetic, the goblin return system is cool though too
or just make the red named players queue with other reds xD
I like my dark red name :(
@@rubiolo1019 Dota 2 has low priority queue for people who are trouble, I never have been there but when you queue with friends with bad internet growing up you get forced into it since enough match leaves could also get you there, an absolute shit show since its just the worst most toxic people with a few people who were unlucky to have the worst internet known to man.
@@dr4g00nk1d as someone who loves to TK, I agree with this statement. However, I don't think something like this should be implemented until we have religions and/or guilds. Considering we're the minority of players, I do see them implementing this before then though. Kind of ruins the end of wipe fun for us, but that's alright. I'd still much rather wait for guilds to be added first so negative karma players can have a community.
the recovery system thoes it chance the cost as well? because i can trade for 15 coins but if my teammate need to buy the recovery itmes back for 200 coins is it worth to bring back itmes ?
Good question
I’m not tryna give bro his gear back it’s mine now unless he earned it back😂
Whatever map you hit start on is the map it puts you in, doesn't matter if the map changes while you're waiting or not.
i can 100% confirm via vods that this is not true.
@@Onepeg Every time I have tested it that is how it has behaved. I will press start with around 10 seconds left before the map changes. The map changes but I still go into a game on the map I hit start on. Not sure if there are variables that could change this but that is how it has been for me.
@@atwxll it is possible that they fixed this after I had spent an hour or two when it opened. If so, that's perfect
@@Onepeg wouldn't it make more sense to just remove the map rotation ?
@@unmasking7974 no? if its always solo or trio or wtv on a map, then you'd be forced into solo squads to do a certain map
then if its solo/duo/trio with all three on each map at once, then there'd be longer wait times and a larger spread
Hi :)
👍
Yeah if i was an rmteamer i would definitely not queue with randoms and kill them and have the other rmteamers queued in the same game loot my dead teammate
"I have concerns" is the most critical headline you'll ever see from onepeg about ironmace, from a test server test too no less. lol.
I try to be measured in my approach. "Hot takes" don't usually do much other than make for sound bytes, and I'm past all that
i mean being concerned is really the only thing to do here, the update and changes arent set in stone. people will give feedback based on concern.
i'm sick of you streamers always thinking us west and east are always populated. having a job that doesnt prevent you from playing DaD means you of all people should see the huge dip in the player base late night to early morning until around 4pm... people sleep, have work, have school. only time us west and east are packed at those times is when we are getting invaded by the chinese. cant wait for my 6am lobbies to be filled with people who i can't communicate with. i love RMTers
so.... how many dupes will originate from the "friendly recovery system"?????
wdym
how many? yes.
no dupes
3:00 I feel like the season rewards should be unique and if they resell em, they should just slightly alter the color. That way if someone got it early they can feel special; AND that person can grind for/pay for the new color and still feel like they've gained something new. (Just make more chromas for revisited rewards and keep the old stuff unique.)
Always agree with this. Having a varient color or whatever tweak so you can differentiate between paid for and achieved MTX is the best avenue. Should be easy enough for them if they keep the change simple enough.
You feel special cause of some video game cosmetics ? Are you serious ?
@illusionist19-sl4nh The whole point is that it loses the bonus points of being a reward for doing a specific thing vs. just being able to pay for it.
It would be no different if it were simply achievements and not even an MTX. If I'm a person who likes to chase achievements, but other people can just buy them? My chase feels less like a challenge and loses a good portion of the dopamine hit.
Good attempt to try to belittle people because they enjoy something you don't care about. Definitely not cringe.
It's the same problem with episodic content in live service games. Someone shows up "Hey what's going on, how do I unlock that content?" except they can't because they missed the time window 4 years ago so if there was something interesting that they would have not minded grinding for at the time they now dont even have the option.
Buying the items is less rewarding but seems fair for people who couldn't participate especially if its half a year after the release of the thing and everyone had ample time to flex.
If the races didn't offer different buffs n debuffs
i might try lfg now after i got 1v2 by my teammates i just stopped lol
I think they need to get rid of rotations
But is teamkilling bannable?
@@XennaShieldOP-pu6le Teamkilling is not bannable. However, using the dark and darker discord voice channels to teamkill can get you banned from the discord server.

@@localranger3793he’s right tho. He’s trying so hard to get it to 10 min. Rambling gets the bucks tho
Of my last 7 uploads, 5 of them were 7 1/2 minutes in length or less.

You only need an 8 minute video to get mid-roll ads.
It hasn't been "10 minutes" for 3.5 years.
But yo thanks for the comment man. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Wdym? I just watched the whole video and didn't feel like he's "Yapping" about anything. He's explaining possible future game mechanics so everyone is on the same page in understanding them. Seems to me you have TikTok brain rot and can't sit still for more then 30 seconds. Unless you're a dungeonborne spy👀 That would make more sense.

no support for previous AP skins being purchased... I held the line since day 1 and i should be able to showcase so. Idc if they add others witht he same stats, but DO NOT give the exlusive AP skins out. Idc if its class skin or fire skin.
no support for matchmaking change, i dont see an issue now and ive qued upf or over 1k matches this season. If i want to play a specific map then i should be able to do so
You can always go back and play Tarkov.😂
Auto-fill could be a game-changer.
They might consider deleting duos and keeping solo/trio. This would streamline the matchmaking significantly (super beefy lobbies and low wait times).
Duos is best
They gotta do something with how small the player base is
You have no idea what youre talking about, end of last wipe was 10% of what it is now
@@moseyburns1614 yeah that means a whole lotta nothing
No you seriously don't know what your talking about. You could've brought up any argument concerning player count at the beginning of the year avg 3-4k daily. But I'm on rn and it has 32k players. Can't bring up player base, they've quadrupled their player count in the last 6 months
deinstalled the game devs are greedy and smooth brained
same devs have just greeded and havent been putting the work in this year and it shows, they got the bag now they shift numbers back and forth and do intern work. Here's the biggest issue: the core of the game and netcode is shaky and messy, and they dont have someone that can just rewrite it all from scratch. There are plenty of money-making bandaids in the game to fix the main problem: the game is unfair and very luck-heavy, we cannot equate these things directly with the game being "hardcore" but more like , Dice rolls, gear checks, class mismatches, refusing to move from optimal positions on the map as the superior class, etc.
yea this is just a deranged comment, they aren’t greedy
@@Midwestemoisme definitely not
- makes game free
- then opens up free game to more content
- cosmetic only mtx, tasteful too
- weekly updates
- reacts to "greedy" tactics like on day 1 when extra character slots were locked behind red shards. They made all character slots free. Countless more examples there
But yeah they're greedy
Rage bait 😂
how do you play the test server?
