since identity: every headshot (no need to kill) gives you a crit shot.
Put switch to crit bullet on another button then, I have scroll-wheel down for special.

The damage is alright, but I headshot ennemies fully charged and they survive. My aim is merciless, that should help. Also it might be worthwile going a bit for exterminator.

Right now I enjoy Doldren with Bloody Mary a bit more for such gameplay.

Hey,

I've played over a dozen matches with the team up or die patch.

I'm a bit indifferent on the 2.5 seconds wounded time, it feels faster but less threatening. It's probably good for beginners. It's really good that we can move and aim normally while wounded, however I sometimes don't notice that I am wounded. Maybe make the screen a tint more red.

The team leader feature, I hate it. It's noisy, it doesn't help if we know what we are doing, if we don't, we probably can't read it anyway because there is so much going on. The commands are not adapted to every situation/team. If I see the antag, I'm gonna attack, if I see an objective, I'm gonna do it, if I see grunts, I'm gonna kill them. Split labour is a problem with biggers maps, one person can't kill only engineers.
Of course I'm gonna give the leader a thumbs up, it's not costing me anything and he gets some pink-currency.

Talking of the pink-currency, please give us more things to spend it on. I have 9999+ (I hope they are not lost) and I wouldn't know what to do with it.

Now for the suggestions:
Raider select, loading screens, as well as intro videos (especially when you skipped and they still go on for 1-2 minutes) would be a great time for team-discussion. Please give us options (either full text or premade phrases like now) during that time.
I want to say to beginners "we need a ranged raider, please pick Harec or Shae", or "we need a tank, please consider 5th council" or "we lack boss damage, please pick accordingly". Also during cutscenes we could say things like "I take the turret tower on the left", "I put aleph in the reactor on top".
And I miss the "come here command", but I understand that you had to cut something.

Now for the teamleader-vote: please change it so that everyone can give a vote to one raider of their choosing that did good. And keep the part, where you can only pick them once per day (or whatever the limit is). It would be way more rewarding and the mission points don't reflect well boss-damage and similar stuff.

On picking the team leader, just a fun suggestion: how about him wearing a crown, and when he dies, he drops it and someone else can pick it up? and if the antag picks it up he can mock the team with commands (not spam).

Also idea for pink currency: aesthetic features like sunglasses, backpacks etc. (maybe only to rent) if that isn't too much work. Or let us bid on who becomes team leader, blind bid and whoever bid the most gets it.

I hope my feedback helps, and for whoever responds, please keep the feedback CONSTRUCTIVE or make your own rant thread.

Hey, so I did some tests with Hans, using the Usu, always on fistful of sand on solo, hardest mode.
The cards I tested were: linear moment (rare) and non-rare Turbojet.
The damage was always tested on shotgunners, torso shots, no crits.

My findings:
Damage non-flight: 35
Damage flight (no cards): 60
Damage with Turbojet: 79
Damage with linear moment: 81

With Aleph boost:
Damage with Turbojet: 82
Damage with linear moment: 85

Given some variation, I estimated the average.

Analysis:
- There is no significant difference between +25% faster travel and +75% faster bullets, this should be very weird.
- There is (probably) no significant difference between aleph boost and no aleph boost on both cards, which should be mathematicly unlikely.

Conclusion:
This would imply, that there is either a function involved with diminished return on investment (logarithm or square root), or there is a maximum speed modifier on the weapon. Both seem unlikely in game design (but possible).

Dear MSE, could you please check your formulas. If you are allowed to share them, I would be very interested.

Edit: for further testing my hypothesis, I would need a Rak with frenzied tracker, hoping that it works on flight as well.

+1 on pretty much everything you said, however I want to add too, that you can see the mission timer (8 hour times) when you select a mission. It's a bit more hidden, that's true. Suggestion: make it more prominent, there is a lot of screen space that's mostly empty (at least on my 4k display).

if you have the right raiders, on the right map, that is true, easy win.
But in general, no, it's not true. You are too slow to setup the portal in a new direction, raiders can easily avoid you on bigger maps (MoM) and you have damn short legs.

I love Shakura as a raider, but as antag, I think it's too situational. You can make the raiders slower and be a huge pain in the rear, but winning will be tougher than with other antags.

Thank you for the post, Xeno.

All the people having fun are on discord, I believe :-)

but it's true, this forum seems to have a very vocal group (minority in my opinion). However some complain about exactly the same thing on discord, that they have a vocal minority of antag-lovers.

The Devs seem to have a balanced attitude though and take everything posted with a grain of salt.

The aleph and ammo dropping is starting to grow on me by the way, I just wished it dropped a bit faster.

And for all those complaining, that they don't adopt every suggestion. Thank god game developping isn't a democracy or we would all play in a boring world with infinite gold, where everyone always wins without effort.

+1
Similar as the JK (even after the patch), if you ask people how you should craft them, or when they are useful, the answer is the same: the weapon is so bad that it's not good for anything on any map with any team.

The worst: I really like the visuals of the gun and I've already bought the skin that would go well it.

My Suggestion: Make the wobble-monster advance on demand, if you keep the special weapon pressed, it advances, if not, it stands still. Thus it would be possible to melt some bosses or have a good shield/bulletblock.
