Extraction problems

[hegermeister]

all i hear is "all birds are in the air" since 30 minutes... cannot extract in an extraction shooter ... im currently stuck at LZ Foxtrott.. for Base Camp there is no option to call a helo. i could only go to other LZ but no helos avaiable.. so another full gear setup is lost cause i have to quit the game like this..

Fun Fact: while, i waiting nhere at the LZ about 10-15 othjer players have called their helos to base camp but i am not able to enter a helo from another player... option greyed out...
and sometimes you get killed by other player helos when you are too close to them.

One of my early complaints is that there should be more than three available helicopters to call for transport. Especially if you have to wait on one from the other side of the map.

There's a bug in the game where if you call in a chopper but then take a different chopper (team mate's chopper) before your chopper arrives, you will no longer be able to call in any choppers.

Correction: The LZ you want to go (maybe also the one where you're being picked up, I can't remember) are no longer working - other LZs still worked and you can also hop on a team mates helo

My problem was when I wanted to extract I thought I had to click on the place I wanted the bird to land, then I realized I needed to click on the base camp LZ and then call one in. That was a me problem though lol.

Ah, thanks for this. This is probably my problem. I accidentally hopped on the wrong heli and then got off immediately when I noticed and got on my own, but I wasn't able to go back to home base.

Lovely bug. I finally got on a server that wasn't crapping itself with lag and then got this bug.

it is impossible to call a helicopter because their number is limited and they are ALWAYS in the air

The helicopters may have been a cool idea on paper but it is absolutely terrible for gameplay. Turns the game into a waiting in line simulator. And turns PVP LZs into fixed camping zones. And I swear I spend more time spam clicking LZs in the map or alt-tabbed to avoid the loud as ♥♥♥♥ helis than actually playing

It's their own damn fault if players get LZ camped. Stop landing at LZ within 100m of POIs. Seem like common sense to not land at an LZ where other players will have LOS from the POI when you land. These close LZs should only be used to extract, not infiltrate. Broken player mentally, not broken mechanics.

the mechanics with helicopters don’t work, let them leave zones while being in which for 30 seconds the player simply teleports

damn, easy like that

There are 4 choppers for 16 people. That potentially 1 chopper per team of 4 always. It isn't that bad. You call a chopper the second it flies off map and disappears. Not while you see 4. As easy as that.

While you are at LZ Foxtrot click on your base, then watch all the birds, as soon as one goes off screen/dissapeers press the "Call Transport" button.

Or zoom into the map so you can put the place you wanna go underneath the call button. Then just spam click when you see a heli leaving the map.
