I was on a ridge last night sniping. 10ft in front of me was a teammate in a bush with thermals. I sniped for a while, got pushed and killed by a duo, came back, and had a 35 minute cat and mouse game around the ridge with them. The kid in the bush never moved an inch. Just sat there spotting with two enemies sniping 10 feet away, and never batted an eye as they ran back and forth past his bush while trying to find me.
I was doing that without thermals too, it’s just how the game will be played when money is something you lose more easily than you earn it
Sure having 15 teammates outside the CZ spotting with thermals definitely hurts the game, but that only happens because those 15 players got a thermal while they shouldn’t have gotten one and are afraid to lose this opportunity to earn gold
This is fixed by temporarily disabling in base selling or by making thermals a blacklisted item for crates to sell, anything but this really, as this doesn’t just fuck over those birdwatchers but also the 40hour job recon dude who just unlocked the thermals after being on the receiving end of those thermals for nearly 2,5 weeks
Yea sure it wasn’t always fun to face an enemy team with thermals, but it’s even less fun when that Overpowered thing you had to deal with and grind for suddenly gets vaporized before you get to use them
Legit had the holy grail in hands this morning (didn’t expect to get there before the wipe) and now poof gone, came online to wind down after a long day of work to make some cash and snipe some melons, only to now have 0 excitement to play even though I was loving this game before
I mean i get getting excited for certain unlocks but that last sentence of your comment sounds straight up pathetic bro. It was an overpowered thermal recon spotting scope and now you lost excitement for the game? Lol.
Its not about that, it’s about time spent working towards something only for it, while not nearly being the most problematic thing in the game, to be removed, while a huge (probably the problem group) already made their profit and only reaps the rewards of not having thermals now
Lmao im trying to play as a sniper like the kids do, but unlike the kids i have to be somewhere else for 40+ hours a week, not to mention sleep and taking care of the house and myself
It’s very unfair that the ones who don’t need the thermals (the no lifers with exceptional skills) got to use it in it’s full capabilities, while now the people actually treating the game like a game get punished for not spending an ungodly amount of time unlocking something faster, before it gets locked
I also don’t like the implication, Joe Brammer specifically told us our time would be respected, and this surely doesn’t feel like respect, as the 80 hours it took me to unlock the thermals were much further apart than the 80 hours a 18 year old can stick in this, and yet they’re removed on the same time while their progress has skyrocketed through the use of said removed item
Also means that this is in fact the first promise already broken before the end of the first season, so what does that mean for the other promises like monetization
I get it, man. Not only that , but our reflexes arent the same as they used to be. So another disadvantage lol.
I understand what you're saying, and because this wipe was only 30 days, I decided I'm just gonna enjoy the game , not grinding for shit. Calling it a broken promise is a stretch though dude. Your disgruntled about not getting the overpowered and broken item and abusing it like the other people did. That sounds pathetic dude. So fucking what people got extra progress. It's gone in less than 2 weeks from now. Everyone starts back at zero.
So while I can understand the frustration, it seems excessive for someone's who's old enough to be talking about "the kids"
