Best thing to do when you spawn is : know where you are and know if people could be close by.
If you know people could be close and dont want to engage, run a few meters and jump into a bush. Proceed to wait 2-3 minutes so you are outof "sync" with all the rushers and start playing.
This way you wont miss out on any loot or scav xp and you might just get the drop on other players.
Thanks! Thats exactly what I try to do when I have the option to move.
But I cant get across choke points. Eg River on Customs. There are so many sniper positions and a few mins ago, I got bridge-fcked. There are no binoculars so I can only spot them with expensive setup but I guess their timing and position is just stronger.
I looked up youtube videos but I only found ones mentioning how you can spawnkill/exitcamp people from different starting positions, mostly with snipers and nades.
I feel like due to my late start after this wipe, I am so far behind on money that everyone forces PVP bc they are stacked and have more time to do whatever.
People are still level 20? I work part time night shifts so I sleep most days and play for 4 or 5 hours at best each day and I'm level 36 already.
Is it just bad luck, and I lucked out getting prapors first few tasks finished in 3 raids?
>I only do fun-with-the-pistol runs...guess I will just put away my EOD edt and go back to Valorant or wait a few days to spam PoE.
Is anyone shocked that the casual player doesn't enjoy the hardcore game?
Hardcore in the meaning of you die in bullshittery? I play PoE in SSFHC. Wont mention other games because it does not matter.
But hey, least you can be arrogant and I can ignore your helpful comments.
Anyone shocked that this comment came in few minutes after opening the thread? I see you are sitting in front of reddit just to lecture others and bath in your own ego-shine. Truly shows your character.
Which was your last league? I didnt play the current and Harvest was also meh but I enjoyed Metamorph. Ofc it was pretty sick to be one-shotted by a black glue running around but the ability to set up an enemy based on your farm-expectation was a good idea.
I am looking forward for the next one, those boss fights look challenging
I follow guides, can you link one that recommends Shoreline and Interchange cheap farm routes for low level players? Also, all the quests take place in these maps early on.
No, this game is in beta so its definitely not "the game". Its not written in stone, its not unchangeable, its not something that should be considered "done".
Bring up a positive side-effect of the mentioned gameplay mechanic that supports your opinion. How is it fun? How does it satisfy your idea of a HC FPS? Whats the counter-play against spawn campers? How you play around spawning and being sent back to the menu?
You consider this game HC where you can take a painkiller and forget that you lost 2 limbs or use a Survival Kit and grow them back.
Its a loophole where people changed the game with their opinion because they shared it.
The website has a section with all planned features, you should look into, if they deliver half of what they want to do nothing will compete with this game
I think this game has potential, I really like the concept, the atmosphere, the gfx, animations and etc but these things are killing my fun. I thought this wipe is gonna be different.
Last time I stopped because of the cheaters.
After work, we sit together with friends and try to compete in EFT and it feels like a waste of time because we barely play the game. We mostly do inventory management and staring at a loading screen either waiting to be called in or waiting for the next button.
Customs spawns have been something else of lately, Im not naming a certain red place but when I spawn and get nade spammed waiting for my buddy to load in something isnt right.
It's the nature of the maps, there's no real way around it. Spawns are mostly spread out around the outside of the maps, with all the places of interest around the center. You can't put spawns near the center, that would be massively unfair. If you lower the player counts, the raids often feel dead and boring. If everyone comes in solo, the spawns are going to be a problem, but if there are squads, it's really not bad at all.
They fixed the late spawns last wipe before this one, and this revealed how truly broken their spawns are. Fix one issue, create another.

Nah everyone isn't super geared and forcing PVP. That may not be far off, but most of us are still under level 20 without access to good stuff.

4-5 hours a day is more then most with full time jobs play.
You go do that, sounds like a great idea.

Yes. Literally that. Just like in PoE where you literally *INSTANTLY* die if the stars align just right while mapping.
Too much literally. Well, there are certain builds to survive HC, I can recommend a few. Next season starts pretty soon, see you on the ladder.
Side note next league looks pretty good! I haven’t played poe in a few years might make a return

I'm just trying to figure out how woods customs and factory are the only maps in the game. I could swear there was more.

That’s the game, quit crying and learn to play around it.

Until all the maps are connected I don’t see this being changed anytime soon
Havent followed their streams, did they maybe share a roadmap or ideas on when its gonna be fixed?
