I'm starting to dislike this game a lot!

KOB79LFC · 10-01-2014 12:08PM

Q;

Ever die at the start of the round through maybe the chopper crashing and notice the ticket level doesn't fall but your death is registered on the scoreboard?

Is this intended? Seems KIA deaths are not counted?

Anyone else getting lots of packet loss on the system performance check in the options menu ? Every server is rated as "bad" for me, is there any way to tell if the problem is on my side or an issue with the BF servers ? Game is damn near unplayable for me at the minute.

Sparks · 11-01-2014 12:08AM

If every server in the world is reporting packet loss, it might be more likely to be your end...

it really is luck of the draw and timing, atleast your line does not fluctuate from 7 to .45 mb line which i have in my house since moving a month ago

Mad_Dave · 14-01-2014 12:17AM

So the new patch is out, for PC at least (console tomorrow I think), any thoughts ?
Hard to say, but it does feel like some of the "Various fixes for improving general stability" have made a positive difference. Also like the changes to the repair times.
Not much else in it for me to notice as I haven't encountered most of the bugs they described and I don't fly jets.

On the down side the frequency with which I get killed by players with "0hp" was jumped dramatically, anyone else getting the same ?

Edit: oh and I sorted out the problem with the bad ingame performance test results, turns out it's just buggy and my connection's actually not too bad - I just suck at aiming and was using all the wrong attachments

Man I miss autoaim.

Played a game of ESL the other night with a group of friends....was randomly picked and came up against one of the top German pro teams (Dynamics) who have won loads of tournaments, including one worth €10,000. Not fun.

On the other side I really can't see BF4 lasting as long as BF3 this time around. I'd go as far as to say that in 3 months time only the really hardcore BF players will still be playing it.
Finding it gets very boring after a while.

Yeah me too, Im bored stupid with it. In fact every now and again I go and play BF3 and I find I get much more enjoyment from playing it.

Ciano35 · 15-01-2014 03:00PM

I was thinking of buying this, I enjoyed the beta and loved bf3 but I'm just wondering is it still a glitchy mess on pc?

TerrorFirmer · 15-01-2014 03:01PM

I find it glitch free really since Christmas on my PC. No crashes at all.

KillerShamrock · 15-01-2014 03:14PM

yeah i have been pretty much crash free for a while now too the occasional one but even the most stable pc game crashes once in a while.

As for battle fatigue yeah its pretty same same at the moment, they need to have the last 3 dlc's to be epic, even then the damage is done imo. I wish they would just release second assault and the balancing then get the other 3 dlc to the highest of standards.

TheGoldenAges · 15-01-2014 04:51PM

I still consider myself a PC Noob and while I've gotten better from where I've started (Couldn't get any worse tbh :pac:) I've found pistol only servers great for getting used to the K&M and leveling up quickly overall.

After playing TDM almost exclusively, I'm going to move on to Conquest. Played two last night so getting the hang of it.

Question though: Is the Assault Class weak compared to the other classes for Conquest? Thinking about starting to work on sniping instead

I haven't played anything other than conquest.
I have played some assault class, and then I switched to support, and there have been games where I have by far the most kills, despite the snipers.

Play with a class you can work with, and get a gun you like and can use well.

Mad_Dave · 22-01-2014 03:40PM

Each class has their own pros and cons, just pick the one that suits your preferred play style most.
I guess you could say assault is "weaker" in conquest since it has the weakest offensive options against vehicles.
Speaking of which, spend a bit of time learning to fly a helo or using a tank effectively - much better skills to have in conquest than sniping.

Depends on the map. Something like Locker, no. Something like Silk Road, yes. Something like Zavod 311, eh, not always and really depends on how the game is going and what your teammates are playing as and how you're playing.
And for conquest, Assault isn't all one class either - it can go one of two ways really - either offensive (running with the M320 grenade launcher) or combat medic (running with medkits and paddles) and you kindof need both of those for a successful team.

That's the cool bit about this game, the classes aren't massively overpowering each other, they work quite well as an integrated unit. Assault for your basic GI role, engineers for anti-tank/anti-air work (as well as close-up PDW devestation), aggressive recon and combat medic assaults to support the main grunts, and support keeping everyone supplied with ammo, doing some side work with C4 and doing longer-range suppression for the grunts using the LMG. (And each class can go off on their own to an extent as well).

And of course, camping rooftop snipers to help drive up everyone's blood pressure and waste tickets.

So February is going to be "Player Appreciation Month".
* 1 Battlepack every day you log in - Bronze weekdays, silver weekends
* Shortcut bundles - pistol and grenades for all, DMR and shotguns for Premium
* 1 double xp weekend for all, 1 additional for Premium
* Community missions for gold battlepacks
* DICE developer chats

What'd ya think ? Not sure what to make of it myself, one the one it's nice they're doing something, on the other giving away unlocks and making leveling up even easier takes some of the fun out the game (although I guess getting the shortcuts and using the boosts in optional).
Developer chats and community missions are a nice touch, but I'm more interested in the upcoming patches to be honest.

Edit: forgot to mention platoons are coming back, finally !

Sparks · 28-01-2014 10:54PM

The feckers, and after I just finished unlocking everything!

Sounds like player numbers have fallen and they want to get people back playing.

Would love to know the actual numbers on this. I'd say it's considerable. Either way I'll take the free stuff love those double xx weekends.as long as there is no lag and bad hit detection that is.
