If you don't play the game then why should your feedback be relevant? At least the feedback from us is coming form people who are actually active in the game and add to it's economy. But if I was MSE I would prioritize the opinions of their actual players over the non players.

As for Harec, I've already stated 2 to 5 seconds. And as for Discord, you should go, you'd love it there. And they'd love you there. You'd fit right in with the "git gud" crowd. Just try not to throw up in your own mouth when they start boasting and gloating  about destroying new players, forcing and condemning surrenders, and general "salt" they are able to throw around.

I think they should just skip all that and just make PvP optional. Right now the only soft switch that we have is to keep MMR fairly low (0-20%) and you will rarely see antagonists, and even if you do they will not have the AI advantage. If they made PvP optional the wolves would be allowed to tear each other apart in PvP mode and the rest of us could just enjoy a relaxing game and progress, AND there would no longer be much reason to keep MMR low. And also to be honest, MSE doesn't give any extra rewards for PvP matches. so there isn't any incentive in it for Raiders. You can get more progress without invasions.

The reason many antags don't want optional PvP is because then they would have to fight willing raiders who are equipped and prepared to fight antags. They instead want unwilling opponents, because games that have griefing baked into their core mechanics is fun and will allow your inner bully to thrive. They also get off on ruining rewards, forcing people to quit, etc... And this is no joke, they boast about it on Discord all the time.

I say just make it optional. Allow us to turn it off.

The block function they have now is only so they cannot invite or contact you. Unfortunately the only thing you can do is report them to MSE. But you cannot block them from randomly grouping with them. I agree with you that there should be a REAL block function but MSE might be afraid to do that because the playerbase may be too low.

Agreed, spammable stalk is completely unreasonable. I have always said the best way to bring Harec back in line with the rest of the characters is to give him a base minimum cool down to stalk of about 2 to 5 seconds. This would allow counterplay after he stalks. If he doesn't make his shot and has to come back there should be come kind of consequence. Christ, he already has the Executioner card which makes him lethal in CQC after he comes back, but at least when he kills your friend in one punch you have a fair fight on your hands instead of him zipping off into the air to crit bullet on your knee and wound you.

I realize MSE think it's "cool" that Harec can do what he can do, but they have to realize that other characters don't have this level of freedom (perhaps Alicia at the most? but even she has counters and her weapons aren't nearly as lethal). If we are going to have characters like Harec who have the most damaging weapons in the game able to spam stalk then why the hell did we nerf cougar form? Council damage reduction? Hans flight? In other words, all these other characters were brought in line because they were too strong with their abilities but the elephant in the room still sits as the largest aggressor of them all, Stalk spam.

Don't let the Discord trolls attack you. You are right to express your opinion here on the forums. They completely own Discord and so they want to shit on the forums now to. But there are no Admins or Mods here that are biased or that have double standards. You are and should be allowed to speak your mind here about the game.

It still affects veterans. We can't change affinity now. So those cards we wanted to roll we have to wait a day or two to roll them now since cards you have access to are tied to affinity which in turn is died to leveling.

As for new players, this is a nerf to them because they NEED to gain levels so desperately in a game that has passive stats and weapon forges that higher level players enjoy in PvP over low level players.

Yea, I just never queue for this mission anymore. This has been a problem for a LONG time.

Keep that MMR real low, guys. It's the only way to survive this shit show. HEAVY bias for antag. Not sure why MSE is willing to piss on Raiders.

Make it use ammo each time it changed direction. Lower the range of it's lightning arcs. Or lower the damage significantly. Any one of these would be a great help let alone more than one.

It's a bit absurd that players can just spam it with no cost for eternity.
