If increasing your FoV made you so bad that you could perceive a factor of 2 decrease in your performance, you would have felt it with other weapons.
Just take the respectable L...
Rayme answered your question of why there was a Volt nerf in this patch... because their prior nerf didn't make it.

TITANFALL 2 |G2.1| "Whatever The Fuck That Means"
- Thread starter VisceralBowl
- Start date
Oh, I did.
But I don't berate the devs. I wish to inform them of my experiences as much as you do, but as Rayme has said (and actually why Antitype was banned in the extreme case), it's a lot of goodwill for Respawn devs to come and post on a board with like 12 unique frequent posters in it...
Why not be thankful instead of confrontational?
It does not negate the fact that the Volt never needed a nerf on console. This does not change that view at all, only strengthens it. It's been underutilized on console, so there is 0 need to patch it on console. Try and argue around that. Go ahead. You can try but you'll fail.
And yes, my FOV went from 70 to 100 during that time (it's at 96 now). That is a significant change in view. Other weapons would have not been so drastically effected considering i was only using the Carbine prior to that.
Who says i'm not thankful? And asking for explanations without taking everything at face value isn't confrontational.

Man this game is a blast online. Movement is so fluid I kinda don't wanna get into my Titan when it's ready.

just because it hasn't been used a lot doesn't mean that it isn't too powerful or performing too well
frothy recently had the volt in his s-tier, and it's an extremely easy to weapon to use, so it's not that surprising.
I don't know who you're trying to convince, but it isn't me.
You were saying how awesome the CAR was. It isn't the FoV, it's a nocebo. One that informs people that perhaps you really should chill on the hyperbolic negativity.
I personally don't want to be cross-mapped by an SMG anymore that I want to be killed at close range extremely fast with a Hemlok.
If the encounter design says that campers with Hemlok get more kills than one would like, then that's an issue with the maps.
and here you go with your version of elitist bulllshit.
Prior to that I hadn't used the CAR to any real capacity. You're not making any substantial claims here pal, especially considering the impact a FOV change can make.
Rayme got to the bottom of the change -- that the prior patch didn't happen. That's why it's there. Go, thank him for that.
And another thing. Sure, you want console/PC balance changes to be separate. Cool. But I certainly don't expect their engine/system to be built for that. Perhaps that's possible. Perhaps they don't want to because that kills pad players on PC (which is something they don't want to do). Perhaps they're working on it and it takes time.
But the assumption that the devs have no idea what they're doing so you'll run to Siege instead...
Or was that also untrue?
Rayme responding to you, taking time out of working on this game or taking a needed short break, is the most engagement from a dev to a community I have ever witnessed ~~ and yet instead like Reddit thread for either Titanfall or Destiny that I have seen, you didn't show any respect that he actually responded to you.
Shit, you do you, but I don't see why you deserve the special treatment of Rayme having to explain himself multiple times that they ain't balancing for PC.
elitist bullshit?
I didn't call you elitist at all in this posts... or are you saying I am?
I should thank a dev for correcting misinformation (accidently) from 2 months ago? Hm.
To the potential detriment to the thousands upon thousands playing between PS4/x1? Okkkkay.
Knowing what they're doing or doing something i think could be detrimental to the game?
You're right, i should bow and be grateful every single time. Come on. Get off your damn horse dude. I'm grateful they answer questions and engage with the community. It doesn't warrant repeating every single time i post.
And frankly it works both fucking ways. Where's the consideration for the group of dedicated players that organized tournaments on reddit these last 2+ years? Streamed games on twitch when NO ONE ELSE was? So much so that CTF gets thrown into the second page when it's shown no one bothers to click on the second page (for whatever mind boggling reason)....
Yes, because you like to pretend to know what you're talking about when it's clear as night and day you do not.
FOV changes would make a significant impact to anyone that plays as much as i do.A slight change could make an impact on someone's play style, performance, comfort level, etc. It doesn't mean every single gun would change, or get better or worse all at once.
It's no different than say a hockey player changing the curve on his hockey stick.

Hey Rayme, I think I found a really minor bug on the PS4.
If I were to select a class I haven't edited in this regen, go to weapon selection, purchase a weapon, and select that as the weapon for the class, when I actually get into a game that class has the original weapon still loaded.
So, for example, I selected my fifth class, which is default set to the Kraber. I purchased the R-97, selected extra ammo and the holosight and renamed the class, then was put into a game. That class had the Kraber as my main weapon. Everything else in the class was correct.
I know it's totally minor but it happened to me twice today, so I figured I'd mention it.

Burn it all down
THAT'S NOT HOW YOU USE A GRAPPLING HOOK!
First real mod?

Definitely, especially if you're coming from a game like Overwatch. A few tips to help you along is that you can hip fire most weapons, especially SMG's, with pretty good accuracy. Also, practice wall running and sliding to get good momentum and learn the different way you can move around the map. Don't be afraid to try different loadouts too; It takes a while to get used to not having grappling hook (or at least it did for me) but you will be able to get around without it pretty easily once you get used to it.

Crash Site in an irredeemably shitty map.
Also Hemlock is still pretty OP on PC.

I'd say that's accurate.

Here is my receipt to confirm how average I am.
It took me over two days worth of play time to improve my K/D from 1.1 to 1.2. And I was so happy to finally see it because 1.1 just looks icky to me lol. I will admit though that this could have been a little higher if I didn't spend 70% of the time in PvP the first 4 days I played this game. The comp is much fiercer compared to Attrition where I finish top three 70-80% of the time nowadays.

lol wow, I tried PvP for the first time in a while to level up my flatline and what a shitshow of a mode.
5 A-wall users on Crash Site.
I hate switching to Devotion-Wall, but honestly if it's the only thing that works because half the maps encourage cross map sniping, why do anything else?

I played with volt almost all the time after the "nerf" since I didnt feel there was any difference, it was still toptier smg easily.

Did those guys stick together or split up? If they stick together then I would have no idea how to deal with that. It's crazy how effective playing like this can be with A-Wall+Devotion+Sentry turrets without the fear of Titans.
I started using it a week or two after the supposed nerf. It felt fine to me and became my favorite gun after messing around with many like the 201, CAR, Devotion, and Alternator.
This is probably me being salty and bias, but whatever. I really didn't think the Volt needed to be nerfed. The gun didn't feel any stronger than the CAR to me. I just liked the look of the gun more, which is why I used it more. I was hoping the nerf was more about its damage at range, but the nerf being about upclose encounters will really hurt. I'm going to keep using it for now to see how I feel about it, but I may go back to the CAR as my main if it feels too significant.
The DL says it's done, this is the in-game install progress %. It's going very very slowly, it took about ten minutes to go from 96 to 97, and about the same for 97 to 98.
I'm probably going to go to bed honestly, I'll play a little in the morning, haha.
Tried out the r97 and flatline last night.
I do NOT like the r97. It's inaccurate and you completely have to hose people down to kill them. Never touching that again.
The flatline is fine. It feels like an smg with a longer range. I don't think I'll stick with it over CAR but it's nice to use something else. It's an AR you can be mobile with.

Yep, Devotions or G2s and turtling. It reminded me of that Titan Bubble strat from Destiny. lol
Yeah this is how I feel. The R97 still needs a buff to make it useful at the ranges it's intended to be used at, and the Flatline is basically an Alternator with range/better optics.

Played my first ever Titanfall 2 MP tonight!! It was...Super duper fast good lord. But fun.
Population seemed SUPER low on PS4. I get it, past 11pm PST on a Tuesday, but yikes. Attrition was the one game mode with over 150 people playing. Is there more on the weekend? I wanted to try a few other game modes...

I personally feel that PvP just has no middle ground. You either stomp or get stomped, especially due to the positive feedback loop. I mean, Attrition is no different, but at least if you're decent you'll probably just lose Titans but not die as a Pilot much.
Seems the sentry-turret users are now turtling hard with g2/hemlok/devotion
The 97 might be a little too strong actually. once you get used to it , it melts.
All PC players said this for the most part, but on console it seriously vanished from the landscape.

I'm playing on PS4 and sometimes the rooftop camping is annoying as shit. I can't imagine playing a game this fast-paced by crouching in some bushes or on top of some weird geometry.
