What happened to it, its suddenly gone. Granted you can still access Raider specific lore but anything else like the history of Uras-Beherit  or how all the Factions came to the Broken Planet are now gone.

So is this a glitch or is something going to replace it in the Future?

Dont know much about overwatch but character likeness happens all the time

I actually enjoyed the new comm system, I deal with new players often so when being used correctly actually helps allot. My main gripe was with who gets to be the leader, not everyone who gets the crown has any idea how to use it. they wont even through up a thumbs up mid mission.

thats what i was thinking

I only did a few missions with the new communication system and I have to say, I love it but it took a little getting used to, what with accidentally saying can someone get the switch and they say yes when you mean to say ill get it cause I’m right in front of it. That being said I found myself when in a leadership role seeing whats available and which command should I be inputting right now and much to my surprise, when sending it out correctly my teams in various missions (With random players) began listening and giving there own initiatives which often lead to a very smooth mission.

Also on a little side note was the "Group up" command removed?
Well that aside I noticed other important Commands and initiatives were missing such as:
*When carrying a Canister on short Fused or noticing someone carrying it you can say (Command) Defend the Canister or Defend me while I transport the Canister.

When going out to collect Aleph for the Monolith: "Guard the Monolith from the Looters" or I'm going to Guard the monolith"

*And when taking down the final barrier on a Low Blow you can say "I'll attack the Grunts" or Someone Take Care of the Grunts!" so the rest of the team can focus on shooting the barrier.

*When you have 5x Aleph and are heading to an extractor to blow it up you see a Shae shooting at it and you want to say “STOP” or “Don’t Shoot the Extractor”

Also, When an Antagonist is in your mission the Communications tab get a little tighter. Seeing that I thought maybe that’s why there isn’t too many commands but then I thought about other games and there solutions to this problem.

In a now retired game, Paragon had a communication system where it opened up categories on a wheel that lead to more in depth forms of communications. One for enemies and there activities, allies and giving them warnings, forms of compliments and so on.


Apex legends has an Amazing ping system where you hover over an object, enemy in the distance or what ever and and a wheel opens up that gives out “Vocal” commentary on what it is you want to say which is heard by all allies.


It would be great to hear our Raiders actually talk outside of those intercoms. You can input your going after the Elites with Ginebra and have her say something like “I’m not used to chasing after men but a jobs a job.”

damn

Yes this is perfect. For real i like the idea of a rush mission, get in go ham and get out. Also (In case I missed this) but it should go without saying that only one Antag can enter per mission even if the first one was royally ass-kicked.

Cant wait for that update tbh but all this talk of people rage quitting the game because of better balancing is stupid.

yeah agreed. Ginebra and Master of Puppets aside I agree that this is going to be a pretty big pill to swallow i'm going to just wait and see how it feels in a practical setting.

I said this on the Youtube comments but for me on an average Mentor match, two rotations of Aleph pools gets sucked up pretty quickly by careless players without an Antagonist present. Now add one semi-competent Antag on a difficult mission, say White Noise and your looking at a potential shit-show.

I suppose Ill just have to wait and see

There really is no coming back from something like this, it will annihilate the remaining raider playerbase, situation is bad as is but once ppl keep on racking those unfair/underserved loses to antagonists they are going to leave and not look back

Man if I had a quarter every time I heard that kind of stuff I would be able to buy all the cosmetics and characters in this game.
