So many bugs. Why bother any more

[Tralz]

1:
Why in god's name is there an endless stream of bugs/bots? When you play some games. From rank 7 and up (Don't know abut the lower ones). Sometimes it triggers an endless wave of bugs/bots that comes from all directions. Why? Is this some admin that have a good time pressing the button to make players mad?

2:
After the last patch. There is so many glitch in the UI. Even when you are in the dropods
. Sometimes you can't se
the other persons
selection of loadout. And on some oaction
even when all have press ready for drop. Character stands in the salute pos
(sign of ready), and the game don't start. All players press several times on ready button before the game react. etc
. Don't they do some test anymore?


3:
When a friend get DC from the game. And logs back in, and join the game again. For some reason, he didn't get the chance
to chose his build again. But join straight back in to the game. That's OK. You think you will just hop back in to the same build you had, when you did get DC. But for some reason now. He gets the same build that I did have (Stratagems etc. Not armor and emote). Why? In one day, my friend did get DC 3 times. And this bug happens every time he did get DC.

That's my 3 point of annoying stuff ATM. But point number 1. Is my biggest one. Because this has been a long time issue. That I have seen on the forums before.

What's your opinion. And keep it to bugs issue.

Do not stay in one place. Do not stay to fight. Keep moving. Always disengage, you don't get extra points for unnecessary kills.
The longer you stay in one spot the more small bugs will call in the swarms.

this, and if you are going to be forced to fight. clear the group as fast as possible, take out all the small ones first.

Dont play over diff 7, the game turns from a horde shooter to holding shift + w for 30 minutes. Just pretend that it doesnt exist, it's worse than being injured in one leg in ARMA

Not true though?
At difficulties 8 and 9 you can EASILY hold your ground and wipe bug breaches and bot drops IF your team has crowd control weapons instead of all AT.
The issue is that people get upset when their primaries get nerfed and they can't singlehandedly wipe hordes anymore, but they'll refuse to consider actual crowd control support weapons/stratagems.

Even on difficulty 10 you can hold waves back, you do not have to constantly be sprinting even vs bugs if at least one of you brought something like a machine gun.
It IS wise however to eliminate the fast moving enemies and try to retreat away from the bug breach.
Big difference between that and holding sprint for 30min though, you don't have to do that if you bring the right gear.

Only way to hold waves back is to load up on CC stratagems and spam them, something that is very braindead and boring IMO. also you need AT because half the enemies are untouchable by primaries. And even if you DO hold the waves back it feels like it takes too long. Yes technically it is possible but is it fun?

I run the MG with a ammo pack and EAT's just to prove that logic wrong, relying on call ins like that just leads to you dying when your eagles are on cool down,
The game has 4 man teams for a reason, if you have 4 people running AT you WILL have a running backwards simulator. even when split into duos I tend to find one AT player and we wind up clearing map while the AT+AT combo wastes all of our re-spawns.

the EAT's are there just in case and the last stratigem you might as well bring your favourite H-AT but really it doesn't matter if your keeping at least one AT player stocked up on ammo. last couple of helldives I did were played like this and I forgot I had a 500kg in my pocket after a while as i just wasn't using my AT.

It's not a bug, per se but it's possible to get in the infinite circle of hurting where the spawned bugs calls in the reinforcements for another breach. Or where you fight for so long that a patrol bumps to you and calls it.

complains game is too easy...
Proceeds to a higher difficulty, complains thats its now too hard...

If you want an easier time, select a lower difficulty
If you want a harder time, select a higher difficulty.

Its as simple as that

[Jaevwyn]

you arent there to kill all the bugs and bots.
you are there to complete the objectives.

stop picking fights with every enemy you see and move quicker.

[thedrifta1]

the game is clearly about getting the objectives done and extracting.
the enemy spawns are supposed to be in the way of that.

So you are joining a match with randoms without AT in a game where half the enemies can be untouchable without AT, solely with the faith than an AT player will join, without pre-selection of classes, and arguing that it is a valid strategy for having crowd control?

I do this all the time as well.
Machine gun+supply pack, usually a 500kg and a gas strike.
The gas strike is purely a bonus to cripple swarms, 500kg can take out heavies in the rare instances where i'm completely alone and have to kill them.

Most people bring AT and they WILL focus on heavies, try playing crowd control/support.
It's really fun too, makes you feel like a living sentry gun and as a nice bonus you can resupply your teammates running AT.

You don't have to be fully all-round.
If you focus on crowd control and slightly sacrifice your AT capabilities you'll be surprised how all round your team is.
