Gah it's really bothering me that there are game modes I'm just straight up never gonna get to do at this rate, FFA? Nobody, Pilots vs Pilots? Nobody, 8v8 Variety? Nobody. :/ Will the game ever bring in people from other regions or do I have to manually select a different data center to see if other regions are in these game modes?

I'm kind of with you on this but most of them aren't up to the quality of the Maps from TF1 to me. They aren't bad or make me dread the match, but some just seem eh. Edit - Except Complex, I REALLY dislike it

This would be good to see, a lot of people latch onto these sort of posts (me included) and as much as I like GAF, I bet a lot of people don't see the information posted here.

Feature requests:

  • A list of records (could it be viewable by others?), such as highest kill streak, best single game score, most titans killed, etc... Would be cool to show off my top achievements every once in a while, and gives people a goal to strive for on the non-progress bar progression
  • Stats page! I hear it is coming, but consider me excited for this one
  • Putting all playlists on a single page. I would love to play variety more, but no-one knows it exists where it is
  • Alternately, I like the above suggestion for having a bonus reward on different playlists each day, similar to happy hour but touching specific game modes

I really wish there was some kind of trial for the game on PC. There is no Origin Access at all (not even the 10% discount)

I'll stick to the first one and to BF1.

For anyone at Respawn reading:

Is there a chance you might do something similar to Destiny's Weekly and/or Daily MP modes that incentivize play? Having a Weekly featured PL that allows Pilots to claim up to bonuses (say, Happy Hour-like rewards for wins, capping out at 3x payouts) for wins in the featured mode(s), for example. There could be a Daily feature as well, albeit the bonus for playing that would be much smaller, say 1x HH bonus for a win there.

I feel this might help drive players to those modes so that people who actually want to play those modes frequently might stand a better chance at getting into a match of that type.

I understand this has repercussions on things like player levelling.

Happy Hour = one time bonus per 24h, or is there also other xp bonus after playing the first game of happy hour?

Think it's weird it auto assigned me to a network with a 4am happy hour. I changed it but would think it would go off my location

As a match starts and you're waiting in the dropship, where it lists your loadout and gives you a chance to change Boost (and you're staring into Ash's quote-unquote eyes), look for the prompt on the lower-right. It only activates if you want it to.

Is there any consideration of giving an option to be human or robot for every pilot ability? I'd like to use stim/phase shift while being a human pilot.

I think I'm gonna go with the Xbox version. I've got no interest in the Pro, so the prospect of upgraded visuals won't do anything for me, and I don't really want to have to deal with using a CronusMax in order to use an Xbox controller on PS4. At least it's a reason for me to renew my Live sub.

Can we get a menu that categorizes and lists all the challenges? The camo list is not an optimal way to look for challenge requirements.

Assuming I'm not missing it.

I'm kinda curious about hard damage numbers on weapons/amped weapons. How much do the sniper rifles do on bodyshots and can they one shot when amped?

I haven't spent any credits at all and I'm around level 16 or 17. Still not sure what I want to unlock.

edit: I also don't even know how long amped weapons last. If there's a visual indicator it's lost in the UI.

I just posted about this a moment ago

I only barely made it, but it didn't take me more than a handful tries once I changed to the shotgun. Hope seeing that run helps you.

A big big shoutout to you brother. It wasn't perfect and it took me hours but your video was the strategy that set me in the right path.

This is my run (sorry for the quality and the beginning of the run isn't there because I didn't save in time)

Are you able to join as many networks you want in order to abuse the happy hour system? Seems that way to me.
Click to expand...

Once per day, it says "happy hour bonus gained" once you've gotten it once. There is merit to joining a bunch of networks and switching to whichever gives the bonus though

Wish the Dew codes had QR in them or something where I could just scan instead of type a set of random shit. I got other shit to dew.

I'm like level 25. My favorite weapon so far is the Hemlock. I have around 180 credits, anything i should unlock early?
Click to expand...
It is up to you but I would maybe unlock smart pistol early if you are keen for it. However it really does not take long to level up so maybe save your credits for a bit.

First night you could do that. They fixed it quick though, only get your 5 merits once/day. Not even worth caring about now, just play an extra match whenever you do feel like playing.

Is the Hemlock a one burst kill against pilots when using Amped weapons?

Sure seemed that way in my kill-cams.
Click to expand...

I think Hemlock is a one-shot kill even without amped weapons or A-wall if you get all 3 bullets as headshots. Unless I just can't read health bars correctly, but I've definitely one-shotted people with it.

Added myself to the spreedsheet and requested TitanGaf on the PS4. Looking forward to playing with you guys. Having a blast so far with this game. I think word of mouth is going to be huge.

A hilariously poorly thought out mechanic. Like why bother with this at all when so many other things were left out at launch? They could have taken a little extra time for this type of stuff instead of rushing to market to get beaten to death by BF1/COD/Skyrim.

I really like the G2 in this :eek:

I used to rock that a bunch in R1 before switching to Car. I might keep this gun, you know?

Yes. The G2 is a great gun, but it makes you take things slower than you would with the CAR. I just unlocked it and I love the change of pace, personally.

First, it wasn't rushed out to market.

Secondly - Really? Hilariously poorly thought out? I think the Network system is awesome. It's great being able to play with the communities I am in without having to add hundreds of people. I've always managed to matchmake with new people, all of whom are reliable players. Happy Hour is a nice addition.

The happy hour bonus is almost entirely meaningless. They could have implemented something else like double xp on selected playlists or something that would also help emphasize the more ignored playlists. By rushed to market, I mean they left features out I'm sure in part to hit that release date. Leaving features out of your game so you can make a hilariously stupid launch date isn't something to laud. How do you even launch an online fps in 2016 without an ability to let players view their stats?

Stats are coming in the first update, which will be before the years' end. Criticize the release date all you want, that's not a decision of developers typically. Blame the publisher.

I didn't specify who's to blame for any of those decisions. In the end, for the consumer, it doesn't really matter. There's features that are missing or not at great as they could have been and the release crunch most assuredly played a role in that.
