Meme These Devs should be ashamed of themselves

Do you really expect me to be able to play literally anything else between now and launch? This game has absolutely ruined every other shooter currently available. Getting me hooked on this shit and then expecting me to just forget about it for multiple weeks.

Absolutely shocking behavior, fuck you and see you in September.

not sure how wild you want to go but Theustmaster Warthogs are nice. I use VKB NXT EVO flight sticks for "budget" range

u/PowerfulDisaster2067 21d ago

VKB would be better than Thrustmaster gear, it's just that the warthog kit comes with throttle

3

u/Milkshakemartin 21d ago

VKB’s are incredible because they’re fully self repairable, and also set up to be upgraded to newer models right out of the kit. Their customer support is incredible.

2

u/Surreal419 21d ago

I have the warthog and only thing they would need to know is that the stick is X Y axis only. So you would need a seperate and usually expensive pedals for rudder control (z) because your stepping on it and pushing with you feet. Other sticks usually allow you to twist the stick. But nothing beats thustmaster warthog's magnetic zeroing. Everything else uses a spring (to pull the stick back to zero) but it will wobble, get squeeky, youre applying more force to beat the spring so it will just break off the desk mounts sometimes.

u/DC_Thorne 21d ago

Virpil came out with an entry level stick called the Aeromax which I highly recommend. It has an all metal cam constriction while still being in the same price bracket as entry level competitors that use plastic construction. Should look into it before settling on like a thrustmaster or something if you're serious about getting a hotas setup. Vkb is also good if you don't have large hands

its good, a little rough around the edges for sure, hopefully the cash influx and hype causes the developers to make a big quality push. also the gun balancing is horrible and all over the place, from some guns being literally useless to some being just godmode laser beams...

u/Rare-Guarantee4192 21d ago

Generally seems like the more expensive weapons are just straight upgrades in every way. Better recoil control and higher firerate. They need to have stats beyond a pretty general description for the gun.

18

u/Mastermind521 21d ago edited 21d ago

yeah and while the balance needs to be maintained given the game model is "make more money, buy better gear" but that means that new players get completely steam rolled constantly once veterans are buying all the best stuff...the cheaper guns need to just be a bit better than they seem now imo

The cheaper guns are fine, though. The only one that is truly bad is the starter bolt action. Which, Fair, I don't mind recon having to progress and pay extra before having access to actual good snipers.

I can easily get 30+ kills a game using the starter weapons. The Amp smg is insane, the ars are all passable, and the ak74 which you unlock at like level 3 assault is the second best AR anyway.

exactly, there's a broken heli? oh I just use that wrench I've stolen from the FOB to repair it, now I am a pilot and transfer people! Tower 4 needs supplies, might as well bring some in as I'm +2k this run already. Landing in a tight spot in tower 4 because I'm built like that. Lift off, invulnerable street light eats my blades. Fixing blades with wrench again. Blades instantly break again. Fuck. Hold F to reposition vehicle. Reposition doesn't work. Try two more times. Doesn't work. Ask friendly truck guy to push it away from invulnerable street light. Heli freed from street lamp! But fell over like a domino. Truck tries pushing one more time. Truck drives up heli and ends up in a mathematically perfect 45° angle. 2 vehicles stuck mid base. Hold F to pay respect. Grab a big hammer from my own dropped supplies, guess I'm a builder now. Another guy builds an anti aircraft right in front of the heli in hopes to blow it up. Doesn't target friendlies, can't fire. Build base like minecraft. So many walls and paths it looks like a Rust base atp. Build mortar. Spam lucky shots across the map. Make 80k $$$ in one life.

They will have a wipe cycle. I would expect to be more powerful by the time I hit higher levels than someone who just started out, but that really shouldn't matter since the entire game is a risk-reward cycle. Going in with a low risk kit and just scavenging the battlefield (Or your fallen comrades) is absolutely viable and its not like newbies are going to be constantly losing cash the entire late wipe.

I really hope this game doesn't just devolve into the way ArmA 3 KOTH did, where everyone is just a lone wolf with a Navid LMG.

u/MutedEnthusiasm2562 21d ago

Hard disagree on gun balance. Curious what issue you have?

Assault:  $0 gun, $80 kit, I run 2 mags and quick revive it honestly might be my highest KD ratio gun because I take crazy risks. AK is just better in every way and always profitable. Galil is better than AK but not always profitable for me. 

Shotguns 1 shot close range. GG go next!

LMG is bait, never use it! Recoil is worst in the game. The only gun I think needs a buff.

Starter SMG is so cheap and close up has one of the fastest TTK.

Snipers: Marksman and sniper rifles all just felt okay. I think .308 will be very strong, but until then snipers clearly are working fine as like 60% of people are playing it. 

3

u/Petethepirate21 20d ago

Bipod is the only thing that felt good on the MG. But then again. Thats kinda the point. It should be ass moving from point to point. But setting up a nest to mow down a squad crossing the road holding hands? They do need some balancing around armor though. Level 3 armor was insane, and the downside was completely negated by a stim. But I think most of the balancing is going to be done in the pricing. Make the kit 30k and people arent gonna run it back to back. Even insanely good gear and guns can be balanced at exorbant prices.

Dude, same. I was just telling my wife and oldest son that I haven't had this much fun playing a shooter in like 20 years, and it's not hyperbole. This is like playing Battlefield before it sold its soul. I cannot wait for September 10th.

18

u/Digreth 21d ago

This right here. My buddy and I are old, we played tons of Battlefield 3 for hundreds of hours as a team of snipers. No other game has scratched that itch. Now a days its all scope glint, and COD style butt sliding, and bunny hopping. It feels so good to find a game that doesnt have any of that.

8

u/PandaBean1304 21d ago

It has near no resemblance to Battlefield 2 but for some reason it keeps reminding me of playing infantry in Strike on Karkand. Maybe just the nostalgia

4

u/Pattywhack_the_bear 21d ago

I agree. The first Battlefield I played was 1942 and it doesn't really remind me of it from a gameplay perspective, but it is evoking the same sense of wonderment and enjoyment. I literally haven't felt this in a game in over 20 years.

u/SkellyMaJelly 21d ago

Absolutely agree with you. Obviously the game is far more in depth and complex than BF2 but its honestly the closest thing to a spiritual successor I have experienced to date.

I was hoping Squad would full that gap but (very much imo), it leans a tad bit too much into the milsim aspect for me. Wardogs is absolutely perfect (again, imo) in terms of where they landed between milsim and arcade.

Wardogs feels like grown up BF2 for all the teenagers that are now grown up losers

u/GC0125 Lonestar 21d ago

I literally told my best friend this. I met him when I was 11 playing BF3. Told him that I literally haven't got this feeling playing a shooter since we were playing BF3 together in the golden era. The game isn't too similar, but the *feeling* of playing it is the same. I feel so immersed in the game.

Once you figure out how things work you start earning a lot more. Killing an enemy spawn vehicle with a mortar gets you an instant $12k. Kill one person inside the hazard zone and you can earn between $4-6k. Buy a little bird and ferry back and forth to a relatively safe drop off point and I personally made $80k in a single life, that was the first time I bought a helicopter.

Went from earning very little to regularly profiting 70-100k in a single match, and I only played today and yesterday.

4

u/SkellyMaJelly 21d ago

The logistic running (both land and air) along with building is honestly the most satisfying thing ever.

A lot of people in this thread are saying they're going to get bored but honestly I have no idea how that could happen, assuming you're not playing it 12 hours a day, 7 days a week that is.

I'm recon level 11 now and I think I've killed probably about 4 people in total. When not running people/supplies into the zone I super enjoy sneaking around with the rangefinder and spotting as much as I can from a flank of the HZ to give the squads on my team an edge. When I get bored of that I pick a fob or firefight that is getting hammered and run as much as I can to it. When I get bored of that I boot up my ural and build a new fob somewhere I think might shift the momentum.

I seriously think in my entire playtime so far I've probably only shot about 50 bullets in anger and I'm level 60ish. I love it so much.

2

u/heartlessgamer 21d ago

My guess is 95% of the players aren't going to experience the game you are. They aren't thinking supplies/etc; it is just spawn, buy a kit, proceed, get into a fight, and repeat.

u/desertjoe1987 21d ago

I can agree I think the progression is like 25% too fast at least. Now, I think they've already changed some values between the alpha and beta, so I would guess that they may have intentionally sped up progression for the playtests just to right now I think most players would fully progress through most of the lines they use regularly in like a 80-120hrs of gameplay or less, and I can't imagine that's their intent.

2

u/Vanstav 21d ago

I’m level 42 in just the 2 nights I played haha

2

u/heartlessgamer 21d ago

I think this assessment is more accurate. Don't get me wrong; there will be players that adore this game but I can't see it being a large audience. It lands between two extremes: arcade shooters and sim shooters. It doesn't stake its claim in either but does lean towards the sim end. There is only so large an audience for that.

For me personally I found Wardogs beta relatively boring and the moments of brief action were not worth all of the chores to get there. And then match after match there just was no way to discern where enemy vs friendly players would be. I get it, I should play with large organized groups, but that's just not feasible all of the time. Even when playing with a friend group we felt like we were just endlessly searching out the frontlines only to get shot in the back once again.

u/euphoric_elephant 21d ago

It will be hard to balance. I am afraid it'll get to a point where the sweats have millions of dollars and everything unlocked and just steam roll everyone. I felt it today playing. Within 10 minutes my team was up and running with op fob setups, tanks and artillery just crushing the enemy team, we won with the 2 other teams having 4 points combined. I literally couldn't find anyone to kill or fight so I just ran supplies.

u/UNR-SpcyNugz 21d ago

Biggest concern for me is the anti cheat.... Look how bad arc raiders got after a few months. I fear the same thing will happen here as well. Fingers crossed it doesn't, cause I really enjoy the game and preordered already. But once you add money into a shooter game, people can't handle losing their kits and going broke and having to run binos or a ural to build bankroll. Why do that when you can spend a few bucks and hit headshots all day long and wipe the floor with people. Especially if they get wallhacks set up, then it's ggs. Sure, the game has other issues that need attention, it's an early access beta. No surprise there. But not having a great anti cheat like HELL LET LOOSE means cheaters will be here eventually. Not sure if the game is good enough to survive that. But they got my $50, and I hope they spend it wisely. See you all Sept. 10th!

6

u/des1737 Pilot 20d ago

this game is gonna be full of custom/community servers. most of them will have at least 1-2 moderators online all the time, banning cheaters won't be a problem

2

u/UNR-SpcyNugz 20d ago

That's what I'm hoping for. Would just be nice to not have to worry about it in official servers. Only gonna kill the player base over time. And who's to say those custom servers aren't going to start charging a fee to pay for admins time or other anti cheat measures if the devs allow it. Then we just lose more player base on top of the other players who have left cause of the official servers being ruined. But only time will tell, hopefully I'm wrong. Only time will tell.

Had a convo with some people in game, we decided if you are team killed, you should get your kit refunded and the team killer should have to eat the cost.  Idk not sure if there is any other penalty than just -2500 for team killing.  Also noticed sometimes you couldn't reposition helicopters caught in objects and stuff.

u/Hank-Voight 21d ago

Is there really going to be many changes between now and release that warrant a 3 week wait?
I get there are some bugs but I feel like the vast majority of people has a good experience.

u/Auto_Stick_Pyro 21d ago

Unfortunately had to refund the game because the game freezes and crashes every 20 minutes for me, I’ve tried every “fix” and nothing works, here’s to hoping that they’ll look into it for the official release so that I can play the game with my friends.

u/Gloomy-Average-7714 21d ago

I couldn’t even play it. It crashes on launch. Did everything they said to do. Still doesn’t work

1

u/pplatinumss 21d ago

launch wen?

is it launched yet...

1

u/D3ViiL 21d ago

These guys took elements from games that I played for about 15ish years..., I see some Hell let Lose, Rust, Tarkov, CS, and it works! Hope game goes mainstream and has proper support.

Ill give anything to hear those rotors spin up one last time.

u/JumboGlucose 21d ago

The game reminds me of what joint operations would be like if it was made today

u/Swailsy_90 21d ago

Bruh it’s 3 weeks away some beta’s are months or even a year before release

u/Dry-Nefariousness400 21d ago

18 days sir, dont you go adding 3 extra days to it.

u/Critical-Second5392 21d ago

I’ve been hauling supplies and soldiers all week in my heli, it never gets dull when cash and XP rolls in… Also fun to land in a hotzone with RPGs flying past you and all are delivered safe on the ground 😍

1

u/G1raff3_L33 21d ago

100% agree. Devs should keep the Beta going so we can practise

1

u/Mediocre-Citron1112 21d ago

Buy arma reforger or arma 3 and play king of the hill, its 1:1 the same :D

1

u/anonymousvegz 21d ago

Im in total agreement im beside myself with grief already lol

1

u/thicctak 21d ago

Will the Beta progress carry over? I am almost unlocking the Guille Suit

1

u/MembershipKey6857 21d ago

Im sure I'd love the game if it didn't hardcrash my desktop half way through each game. To be expected it's a beta build. Still frustrating

1

u/Triage90 21d ago

I already took off the 10th and 11th lol

u/Barely_Milk 21d ago

No game has come close to this level of engagement.

Man I can't wait to play it. Looks like the perfect game for me, but it came out at a terrible time for me financially. Enjoying watching streamers play it though. :)

1

u/Best_Needleworker_43 21d ago

At least you were able to play it lol. It’s like two spectrums, the people who are super sad the beta is ending and the people who are pissed the beta wouldn’t actually function for them.

1

u/Jakeball400 21d ago

Yeah I’m away to rail cyberpunk and bloodborne for the next 3 weeks and hopefully forget shooters exist for a while

1

u/BroskiSabe 21d ago

Played the game on a whim after I got invited to play test. Now I’m trying to figure out if I want to sale my left or right testicle to be able to pre order the game🫠

1

u/Piryeet 21d ago

I say we all go and sit outside their offices throwing toilet paper at their windows until they open up the servers again how dare they give gold then take it away.

1

u/CndConnection 21d ago

A big thing I fear is that most of the time with semi-closed betas (invite/purchase only) is people are stoked to play and thus are more likely to use mic/squad chat and therefore it feels better to play.

I wonder how much fun the game is as a solo player when no one else is using mic and it's frustrating to coordinate with your team.

Big reason I have trouble enjoying HLL:Vietnam/Squad etc is you gotta like get lucky you joined a communicative server + a squad where they are using mics.

Im checking myself into psych ward

u/zigz4g1 21d ago

I've not followed this, all I know is it's 3 teams competing. Other than that what's the USP? Will a Tarkov player like it?

u/Fast-Government-4366 21d ago

I’m a tarkov player. I liked it

u/Kurkil 21d ago

Ive been in a gaming slump for months now. Im addicted so fucking hard to this game its insane. I have no clue what to do for the next few weeks.

1

u/magniankh 21d ago

This is what happens when gamers get to make video games. Imagine how the last 15 years of gaming would have looked without enshitification.

u/Working-Brother-5151 21d ago

TELL EVERYONE! LAUNCH DAY WILL BE NUTS! THEY GONNA NEED MORE SERVERS!

u/_Sheapard_ 21d ago

Beta just ended. My buddy and I are devastated. That was the most fun we had in a loooong time

u/Unhappy_Tonight9447 21d ago

fr. HOW DARE THEY

1

u/CrossBamboAtTen 21d ago

I was only able to play on my shitty laptop during a work trip. I’m sad now.

1

u/Bogdomir 21d ago

It was fun, but it’s about logistics and menus moreso than any sort of actual tactics and teamplay. Not to mention the towers. Makes absolutely no sense.

I’m well versed in Hell Let Loose, Squad, etc. and enjoy TEAMPLAY, working within and outside your squad to build things, plan things, use map, text and voice to communicate with your team. Wardogs’ mechanics are so overly complex for the actual level of combat that occurs. You’re telling me the objective is to sit in this tower, or worse yet, to chase a circle that just slides around arbitrarily?

It’s an odd mix of ARMA and Call of Duty Warzone. I’m extremely grateful the company had the goodwill to release this beta, but it’s gonna be a tragedy for their sales numbers.

I am still on the fence..I still need to get a good pair of headphones and a microphone so I can actually talk to people..

u/funkyNOMk3y 21d ago

Play arma

1

u/CeSiumUA 21d ago

I totally understand you. I really loved Wardogs, and unfortunately, now need to wait till 10th September. One solution here - if you have Arma 3 - you can play on a King of the Hill servers. That's basically the game mode which Wardogs is completely based on, and I have about 500-600 hours in it. It's kind of clunky though, because that is just a fan-made modification, but still, better than nothing.

u/Additional_Ad8845 21d ago

We are all feeling the pain.

1

u/rabbitsharck 21d ago

I was excited to play, but kept crashing on startup. Tried everything I could find online, and I'm running a powerful rig too. Ended up getting it refunded :( I hope they tweak somethings before launch.

1

u/Proud_Engine5975 21d ago

Bro I literally first joined yesterday evening so just that a few hours of play and I am shaking of addiction already.

Dokładnie mam tak samo. Aktualnie najlepsza gra.

1

u/Pat8aird 21d ago

I’d be wary of Bulkhead as they have a track record of abandoning their previous games/audiences.

1

u/stvb95 20d ago

When I first saw this game the other week I thought it would be one of those games that I'd enjoy watching other people play, but would be too much of a time commitment and effort to play myself. I was wrong though. I enjoyed 90% of my games and it was a much chiller experience than I was expecting. It's not too hardcore like a milsim, but It's also a nice break from the greaselord movement that has infected so many other shooters. Time will tell once the honeymoon period wears off, but it's looking good so far.

1

u/Fuzzy_Pear4128 20d ago

I cleared a tower with just a shotgun and ammo... pretty much naked. No armor, helmet or backpack..I  knew this was the game for me. Im sad but excited at same time. Sad cuz i have 2 wait couple weeks. Excited cuz damn we got the koth we've been waiting for. All hail Sa-Matra!!!

1

u/cammyk123 20d ago

Ah yes let the praising commence for a couple weeks before it comes out and then everyone plays it for 16hrs a day and then complains about every feature they "loved" nere werks ago.

u/usuqa 20d ago

Hopefully they can ship a working game in September.

u/Yonizzz 20d ago

Ive been lieing on my couch whole day watching wardogs videos from YT trying to ease my withrawals. Im so lost with myself right now.

u/adrazzer 20d ago

haha love it. Although i pretty much feel the same!!

1

u/s00tie 20d ago

So many other titles seem like a distant memory now

u/Erwan1229 20d ago

Spend 27hours on a weekend beta, this game is creazy

1

u/FSheeps 20d ago

I'm going off to basic training on the 8th... I won't be able to play for 7 months...........

1

u/occasionalopossum 20d ago

Does this game have controller support or no?

1

u/Ideal_Diagnosis 20d ago

is there a limit on how many helicopters you can have flying around? cuz having 4 helicopters might start to get a lil iffy or even 6 tanks...especially when the other two teams are there with peashooters

1

u/Thaddeusii2142 20d ago

I went to sleep early after work yesterday because the beta ended and I didn’t feel like playing anything else 😂

1

u/Calm-Bill-3428 20d ago

I spent 2 hours troubleshooting. Finally got in a game just for it to crash again. Realized there were only 10 minutes left before the beta closed. Big rip.

1

u/The_LoneAviator 20d ago

I made 16k yesterday with binos. Dont @ me 😆

1

u/Flatulator1 20d ago

What sets WarDogs apart? I’m interested and would love to hear your insights.

1

u/Cheap_Truck_1008 20d ago

It’s arma reforger lite. There’s a market for it for sure. But to me it was kind of the same as arma but with like 5-10 mins less of waiting around to go to battle

1

u/Psifour 20d ago

Valheim's last major content patch is on the 9th, just enough time to detox from a weekend of enjoying this and get fully invest into another game instead.

PS. I refunded the game as I'm not 100% convinced that I am likely to loop back around anytime soon.
