Got down to myself and the last guy. Got height advantage on the guy and went to pull out my SMG, got hit with the floating weapon glitch. Took almost 10 seconds of switching around to try and get it fixed. Luckily the guy was trying to turtle a bit and I managed to fix it and win the game but man, think I would have just shut the game off then and there if the outcome had gone the other way.

They're not going to vault Ninja's favorite weapon :P

Maybe if the other new explosive weapon is good they'll consider it. I actually kind of wish they'd use the vault more liberally but I get why they don't.

I think it were up to me I'd send the grenade launcher, silenced SMG and pump shotgun to the vault. I feel like you could make a case for the regular pistol and revolver as well but if they ever do end up fixing bloom those weapons could be amazing.

Keep getting squad daily challenges when I can only play at night after work where everyone off.

Squad ones are super easy,

just join it solo and play like a baby.
1. Drop as far away from the bus track as possible.
2. Only move to the circle at the last possible second.
3. Stay as far out around the circle as you can.

By the 2nd circle you will be about at the requirement for the challenge.

This is apparently just over your head. If you're moving against a target that is standing still and getting perfect aim accuracy, guess who has a higher chance of winning that fight. Having laser accuracy vs relatively bad accuracy if you move at all is different. Saying nothing has changed is just not true. It's like comparing CSGO to RTCW and saying they're the same. They've vastly different skill sets to each shooter.

The thing that goes over my head is the fact I'm being told standing still is a death sentence AND that it's better than moving? Which one is it? It's risk vs reward, surely? You either get killed more easily using it (as you would have done anyway) vs having a higher chance of hitting someone. Where this system truly works is those moments where you drew first blood, only for them to turn on you and destroy you, even though they should never have any chance to.

Before the new shooting system, you could just SMG the wall, aiming for the player. Whenever the wall fell, even if it was immediately rebuilt, you'd still get a few hits in. Killed quite a few people like that.

Why, what does the new system do differently to stop you doing this now?

I had no idea what it was when I heard it. I hadn't looked at the challenges and didn't know they were in the game at all. I went with a friend to Dusty Depot who does not have the battle pass and I could hear this creepy as hell laughter and I kept asking him if he could hear it and I was getting really creeped out. It just so happened I stumbled across it and got that "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH" moment.

A lot of those gnomes were hidden pretty well. The one at Loot Lake was especially devious; I think there were like three or four people all looking for it at once and they completely destroyed the house.

It's always a great feeling getting all of the challenges complete on the day of release. Now I'm only three tiers away from John Wick and that next set of challenges.

Does Epic even respond to support requests? It's been alost 3 weeks and they haven't responded to my Twitch Prime items not appearing in my locker issue because i activated my prime on another epic account not knowing the ps4 version i play counts as another separate epic account.

So, I bought the full game but have played like 10 minutes of save the world. How difficult is it? How difficult is it to get v bucks out of?

Within a few hours I got a 1k v bucks just by chasing the event missions. I'm baffled that I didn't play more of save the world because it's pretty fun.

Apparently you're confused because I never said standing still was a death sentence. You seem intent on being "right" even though this started only when I was explaining why I don't like the change. So whatever.

Finally got a response from customer support after someone in Russia was able to buy the $89 version of the game on my account. It only took 2 weeks lol. They authorized a refund and did a hard reset on my password which basically force logged my account out of any pc. Since I contacted them my account had been locked about 5 times and noticed my Ubisoft and EA accounts had logins attempted too lol.

What's up with the grenade launcher hate? The thing is really powerful (difficult to defend against and can be used outside of LoS) and if it feels underwhelming, it's only because other explosive weapons are stronger than they need to be.

Now seeing a reddit thread about their customer support being ass. 3 weeks waiting for response about my twitch prime and nothing. Do they have a phone number?

The grey silenced sub has to be the most useless gun in the game, it feels like im shooting feathers at them.

God damn you can't even contact these people. Phone just gets me to them saying they'll redirect my call and in 5 minutes it just says goodbye and hangs up. No reply from email so I'm screwed on even getting my loot for Twitch Prime.

Yeah, I think I'll pick up the Save The World game as well when its on sale again. Might be nice to earn some more v-bucks to spend on skins and whatnot.

I used to laugh at a friend who told us about vbucks mode until I was sitting at 4600 about a week ago from just playing it.

That's a pretty big time-frame. haha

Don't know if this would be suitable for an E3 announcement. Unless, they do a couple more announcments like a new Map and other things. Guess, we'll have to wait.

I asked this in another thread but does "Save the World" ever go on sale? I've only ever seen it for $40.

It was half off on Xbox in February. That was before it because #1 bought game every week since though so who knows if it will go on sale again any time soon. It was supposed to go free to play this year but I am sure they are shelfing those plans now.
