What do you DISLIKE in current state of PR (2016)?

[RAWSwampFox]

Well, you just described your own actions.

Good Evening,

Yep, on Muttrah I love doing it. It's not terribly feasible on other maps but Muttrah is one of those special maps from the 24/7 HOG Muttrah days. It's the challenge of the thing and you don't have to wait on a bloody chopper transport to do it, which usually never works out. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

Usually after dying, I have my squad start building FOBs like crazy along with razorwire everywhere in the North.

do i need to say more



also, the people that make squads and do fuck all, no headset etc.

even worse is the people joining your squad just to grab a specific kit, then make their own squad and lock it/ kick players out.

he is not only a useless twat, but he is also blocking a good squad leader from making another squad.

admins should really crack down harder on useless squads/squadleaders, no mic-ers, lonewolfers etc.
of course i know this isn't the easiest thing to do, but when someone lonewolfs, he clearly does not care to play the game as intended, and is ruining it for another player that wants to join. these kicks do nothing, a 1 week ban would be more suitable imo.

I dislike that it's fully dependent on the Windows platform. I seriously only use Windows to play PR. Everything else I do is on Linux. I tried to play today, but I can't. Because Windows 10 and forced updates; hogs all my bandwidth. I don't want to wait a day's worth of downloading Windows updates just to play PR.

1. People that dont take honest criticism serious and think its random hate mineral. I get your points but dont think were all here to just hate on everything although its fine. I feel like a gramophone.

2. Squadleaders spamming All-Squadleaderchat with useless ****. People tell enemy positions, discuss tactics or rant at each other all the time. If you talk to a certain squad then fucking talk to that certain squad. If you know enemy positions dont call it in allchat but mark it on the map. This way noone will miss that one shoutout and even the squadmembers can constantly see the marked enemies on the map.
Generally speaking, learn how to fucking use a radio and gltd or dont SL.

3. Squadmembers spamming Squadchat with random useless information. What really drives me crazy is that if you ask people to stop they tell you that the game "is all about teamplay and coordination" and how much of an idiot you are. Sometimes i cri. Sometimes i then realize that im not even allowed to close my squad and get a mental breakdown.

4. TOWs having too much smoke so you cant see where youre shooting at (causing less experienced people to miss 24/7). They also need a bit too much time before they actually shoot. Once upon a time in PRistan assetwhores were scared of TOWs, nowadays theyre like "nah we gonna kill that shit before it can even fire".

5. Teams with non guided HATs should get 2 kits. Guided HATs should at least do enough damage to track a MBT.
Anyway i think we will get superior & hyperrealistic Battlefield 4 style atgm soon where you need to shoot 10 bloody rockets to kill something. *HYPE*HYPE*HYPE*HYPE
So i dont think this concerns anyone else.

6. Helis being wayyyy too slowly. The maneuverability was better a few versions ago too. Why did that even change?

7. Jets are OP.

8. Not having any anticheat measures whatsoever. And allowing servers to disable battlerecorder.

9. Idiocracy on some servers both of players (on all servers) and admins. One server is a complete joke due to the massive amount of teamkilling and trolling so that you cant even play properly yourself and start doing stupid shit too. Another server bans you for every tiny thing including having arab names.
And then theres this other server who bans you for giving a teamspeak IP to a friend in squadchat.
Makes me very angry in my honest opinion although none of this affected me personally. I am not banned on ANY server.

10. Bugs, glitches, laggs, crashes and hit-detection.

11. Charlies Point should not be a thing.

12. Some large layers like Shijia Valley should not be a thing.

13. The people in this game in general, if i ever get cancer i blame all of you.
That on the other hand probably makes you guys happy.

dis gun be gud.

[Headless86]

dis gun be gud.

We all love drama front but lets hope this thread is spared from that. All servers will recognize themselves and take note of it. Thats all, no drama, no hate.

If anyone feels the need to adress this pm me and start throwing shit if you want. I doubt someone is gonna do that though since its not really necessary.

[Frontliner]

You were very specific with your statement. If you truly wished to avoid a quarrel on this matter you could've easily put it differently. I'm not fueling drama here, I am merely expecting it.

No we changed that. Check frontpage for more information.

Where to begin...

Well I dislike how INS mode is still broken.

Cache Spawns are a **** shoot. You'll either get a really good cache that is hard to breach, or a really bad cache that is hard to defend. I dislike how cache spawns near or even inside enemy fobs. Especially when the cache is supposed to be hidden. I cant tell you how many times I've had a cache spawn within 100m of blufor.

The arrest mechanics need work.

Insurgent load outs and kits frankly suck. Same with the ARF. There is no cohesion on the INS team, because it's first come first served with the kits. I really think that pickup kits as a whole need to be removed or atleast heavily reworked(Like say STG.44 or PPSH as an easter egg of sorts). Insurgents need some more readily available scoped weapons and AT weapons. RKGs are ok but meh. The range is short and they're more deadly to you than enemy vehicles.

The spawnable kits are my biggest problem. They feel so damn underpowered and misused. It's a curse being a sapper, because half the time you die before blowing an IED and other half you die before planting it! The backpack is so large on the soldier model as Sapper you are number one priority by blufor. The Pistols suck. I liked it better when sapper had an SKS to defend himself with.

The Skorpion is awful as medic weapon. It does like no damage. Everytime I use it to defend myself I die. I've had enemies tank an entire magazine and still live. I'd rather have a crappy 1911, tokarev or even a makarov than the skorpion.

Civi timer needs to go back to being 60 seconds.


On the flipside. Hamas on Gaza is fucking awesome but everybody wants to be hamas because the map is impossible for IDF. Because of the lack of scopes.

Gaza is definitely not impossible for IDF. AAS layer is probably one the most balanced maps. And it's the only INS map I enjoy as Redfor. So IMHO Gaza is perfect.

Regarding your petition for scopes in INS, I find that not only unrealistic, but game breaking as well. If 50% of an INS team get their shit together and actually cooperate instead of dicking around, they are very likely to win the match.

1. Which is the thing I hate and bothers me the most - can't find a normal , teamworking , mature squad 90% of the games.
Same sh1t every time , joining a server and the first thing I see is 5-6 squads of a single player in it , or a full squad of lonewolves spreaded all over the map.
I know the solution for this problem is to make my own squad , but my english and accent are not good enough for squadleading.
2. Players who don't care about the objective and just farm kills.
3. Unstable servers who crash when there's more than 30 players online.

[Sapper28]

I love this game - PR is the best video game ever. I thank the Devs and Admins for their efforts.

Problems with the game can be split into two broad categories: gameplay / technical problems and player problems.

Gameplay / technical problems can be solved by our fantastic Dev team. These problems exist, but are certainly not show-stoppers.

Player problems can destroy PR. A lack of players, or an oversupply of untrained and ill-disciplined noobs can discourage everybody from playing. I enjoy being an SL but sometimes dealing with new and untrained or idiot players gets to me. So I and other experienced players take the easy option and find friends to squad with and ignore the new players.

I would like to see the PR launcher and / or application changed to capture the attention of new players, direct them away from the servers and toward appropriate training and instruction. They could be directed to the manual, a website or simply list the minimum expected level required before joining a server ie. You must have a working microphone, read the manual and practice a little in Co-op. Or whatever.

I would also like to see more marketing for new players or have PR made available through Steam or similar. Once we get new player training sorted out, the push for new blood should begin.

The problem with idiot players and hackers is a different issue. Personally I would like to see members kicked from my squad not able to rejoin. I could get a disciplined squad going and keep the tools out. Better for SLs and squad members alike.

That's why everybody wants to be hamas. They have the best CQB weapons in the game.

People **** around because of the pickup kits.

I'd rather give the insurgents proper requestable kits(to a degree), than have the entire team rush to spawn for the RPG or SVD. Like say if you request rifleman you'd get an AK47 with Ammo, Frags and Smokes just like blufor. Same with having a proper Medic and AT kit. But I'd retain the spawnable insurgent kits as they are. Because they feel more 'Insurgent like.' I'd also reduce the pickup kits to novelty weapons like the STG, PPSH, Bolt-Actions, Etc.

[Fir3w411]

Servers that don't run battlerecorder (not fun to get OHKd by a PPSH on Drang after sitting in a massive bush for five minutes )

Braindead admins and players (too late)

People using all-squad to talk about their favorite kind of taco sauce (or anything else for that matter)

Getting ANY kind of insurgent vehicle stolen or manned by said braindead players when I rearm in main (it's like having lock your car in a bad neighborhood)

The fact that half or more of the insurgent vehicles are made of cardboard and upon hitting the first meter high sidewalk or lamppost outside of main, you spark like snoop dogg. Best is with bomb cars! Next update with dead-man trigger you can blow up thanks to terrain damage, teamkill the cache and not be to blame
