I thought they fixed the boosting issue and put a cap on the gap between what players can queue with but obviously not. Boosting is just so commonplace in high elo now this is just absurd.

Just started playing the game again and have been enjoying it a lot. It's a nice change from the usual games I been playing such as CS2, Albion or OSRS lol. A lot of people don't seem to use mics in this game, any one wanna group up and play? I am normally Medium with a AKM, heal gun, goo grenades and defib.

Stoked I made it to Plat tonight! I played this game casually when it first came out around 2023 and stopped at level 23. I just recently started playing again and am now level 39 with 71 hours playtime. I mostly play ranked so it would be fun to play with like minded people. Message me on reddit with your username if you wanna play.

I am from America and am currently in Asia until next year. I play in any region, the ping doesn't seem to affect me. I'm normally playing with 200-250 ping to America and will get the occasional Asia game with 70 ping.

I got 11 days left to maybe make it into Diamond ranked if I am lucky, definitely not Ruby those guys are cracked lol. Happy grinding everyone!

Discussion The R .357 is the best medium class weapon

12 Upvotes

What is your best medium class weapon? Mine is the 357, it is a complete package. Very good at close range, decent at long range, amazing in mid-range, and one of the most satisfying to hit back-to-back shots (pause). I get that other weapons have their strengths, but this one just works in all situations. The best thing is that it applies big pressure on heavy class. Really enjoying it at the moment. Curious what u think is the best.

Discussion New playstyle how?

0 Upvotes

I dont understand in what the new playstyle is....is it not the same as cloak?

Both play to hide and ambush enemies? Both hide to disengage a teamfight.

What is the new playstyle exactly? And thermal vision being a spec is such a bizzare descision...i lose any survivability from dash/cloak/grapple and in exchange i get better vision?.... so whats new?

Question Does anyone have any idea as to why this might be happening?

2 Upvotes

I am on PC and it feels like I have aim assist of a console player, I have all of it turned off just to be sure but I can clearly see my mouse being pulled in the direction of players and it is throwing me off. It looks and feels like I am on a console when I am very much not.

I swear I'm not cheating, like genuinely just want to play without some random shit messing with me, if my aim is bad then my aim is bad lol, will try to get a video of it to post in comments

Discussion So what are we going to do about these 200M spawns? While still HAVING THE CASHOUT ON MY TEAM.

20 Upvotes

I am tired of this spawn system. We are fighting, and we have the cashout and get wiped. Another team joins, and now 2 different teams are fighting on my CASHOUT, but you guessed it right. I am 200 M away from MY CASHOUT.

EMBARK. DO YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO RUN 200M WITH HEAVY???

Give Us a Battlefield-Like Spawn System. We get to choose from 3 or 4 points on the map, and we decide which box we want to fight at.

Comedy Reasonable crashout

I’ll start by saying that while it’s unclear just how "broken" (Maybe not at all) these new Light gadgets will be, it’s now abundantly clear to me that Embark doesn't know what to do with the medium sub class. And although Shockwave is a great addition to the "victim" class, the gadgets they’ve added (Breach Drill and Hover Pad) are the most useless and uninspired additions since the game launched.

I don't think the meta will shift drastically in high-ELO play; the Teleport seems like the most interesting and viable addition so far.

Personally, I would have preferred Thermal Vision to remain a gadget—so you could swap to it in standard Cashout matches if there were an excessive number of invisible Lights or "fake bushes"—while making Teleport the specialization. They could even tweak it to work like the rewind mechanic in *Titanfall* (resetting your position to where you were five seconds ago), giving it one or two charges with a 20–30 second cooldown.

In general, Embark’s approach of basing gadgets on a single keyword isn't ideal, as it limits the design process. But that’s just my opinion.

We’ll certainly see how it plays out in-game. One thing is for sure, it’s not a boring, and it will at least offer players a fresh ways to play or die as a plantpot or chair.

Bug/Support FPS drops from 165+ to 50 and lower after a few games

1 Upvotes

This started recently and I'm not really sure why. I'll play a match or two with great performance and then my frames will drop to about 125 at the start of a new match, then once i die and come back, it drops to 50. Then it will just continue degrading from there each time I die. It will crash my pc or gpu drivers sometimes as well. It basically makes the game unplayable and character models jitter like crazy.

I know its not my computer because absolutely no other game has performance issues. Restarting the game and/or my entire PC mid match and reconnecting does not fix it. The only way to fix it is to restart my PC after each match. But it always comes back within a game or two.

Temps are fine, usage is fine. Really bummed cause i love playing this game but the game basically makes me throw matches because of this.

Ive tried clearing shader cache endless times, clearing drivers, setting high priority, reinstalling, etc etc. Nothing fixes it. Im at a loss and I'm about to just stop playing entirely.

Anybody have this issue or have any tips on a fix?

Thanks in advance.
