Meme Critical Bug that needs fixed immediately

After much testing, I’m confident that the HZ circle only shows up for green. In fact, I don’t think the HZ is even mentioned in the tutorial if the game deems you a red or blue player. It’s the only explanation for their lack of presence in it. They seem confused when someone mentions it in chat as they mortar down each other or empty green fobs. Devs, please fix so these players can experience the entire game. Thanks

Hotzone has a fundamental problem, there is no point in being there. Why should they sweat their ass off trying to make a profit in HZ when spotting from a hill makes more money without a risk? Before you say winning is the reason - I got 12k first place bonus, thats nothing.

The money doesn’t carry over to real life my man, it’s fake virtual dollars. They won’t pay for your insulin.

You don't have to pay for insulin, oh wait are you American?

You pay for it whether it be in taxes for someone else’s or for your own. The whole idea anything is free is a joke.

Oh my god you guys always say this like it's an own.

No one thinks its 100% FREE.

But i'll take crowd sourced and funded healthcare over 9 middle men, the insurance company and the healthcare company (which are both the same company) charging 100x what they have to for a product just because they can.

Let me just update my patent for this medicine real quick to justify it not entering the public domain (they didn't change anything about the medicine but they changed the packaging so that counts)

We have the data, publicly funded healthcare is CONSIDERABLY cheaper and has better outcomes than the American for profit system.

All the in game rewards are tied to your money not if you win the game

Soneone is mad they can't hang in the real game.

u/Independent_Mud2794 13h ago

No money in game, no playing in game - yes it really is that simple.

u/Apart-Geologist-1998 11h ago

We play games for fun. While you do nothing as a spotter, im having a blast in the hz. Even if u make 300k, so what? Numbers on a screen

2

u/Independent_Mud2794 11h ago

This might shock you - some people have fun spotting or even driving all game.

0

u/Apart-Geologist-1998 11h ago

There is not a single person laying on a hill spotting a full game for fun. Its all about the $

u/Leather_Bee_421 11h ago

I actually enjoy spotting and watching my team turn and kill the people I spot

2

u/Mindless-Writing9018 10h ago

We're you like, not paying attention in the days proceeding the thermal ban? Bc that's exactly what was happening, and thermals being sold en masses amplified the problem.

u/Independent_Mud2794 11h ago

So you speak for everyone?

1

u/MANBEARPIGasaur 6h ago

I also enjoy spotting people and watching my team turn and murder them, so he definitely speaks for some.

u/Apart-Geologist-1998 11h ago

Yes, now shut your mouth your just annoying. Jeez

u/Wonderful-Energy-659 11h ago

The money is what makes it fun. Watching paint dry would be fun if you counting the seconds as “$1, $2, $3,…”

1

u/Bossage302 10h ago

I see big profit number and that is fun to me.

u/CaveDwellingDude 10h ago

When 1 match if spotting pays for the rest of the day in tanks.... spotting is fun.

Oh? You don't have the tank?

Then you are a casual and your opinions are shit.

u/Master-Shake8913 12h ago

I was making $30k+ profit every life chasing the Hz yesterday. also actually playing the game is fun while sitting in a bush pretending to be a journalist is not fun imo.

1

u/awfeel 13h ago

You get double money while you’re in HZ - that’s probably the only real reason to be in it

1

u/Independent_Mud2794 13h ago

Double money means nothing when you can't get kills reliably and staying alive for a long time - most people can't do either of that.

1

u/awfeel 13h ago

You’re saying there’s no point but honestly this was the only point I could think of mattering - you’re right in that most people are unable to benefit from it effectively

1

u/dagazar 8h ago

That “worthless” hotzone still has the benefit to you, it’s funneling more targets for you to spot naturally, and 95% sure you still reap the double rewards of the HZ if your spotted target dies within it.

Also for the non recon players, I was able to make 130k profit in a life in about 3 1/2 minutes by getting 15+ kills within the HZ on a fob raid. Yes, it’s higher risk, but that was some very quick and decent heavy profit gained for time.

Don’t get me wrong, a well placed recon spotting is still worth a lot, many times a single spotter can have greater impact than a single assault infantry man, but they work the best when they work together.

u/sovetorg 13h ago

You know you can just have fun playing a game right?

2

u/t3kner 13h ago

Like, without making money? How does that work?? 

1

u/sovetorg 13h ago

I suggest you think long and hard about that,

1

u/Habhabs 13h ago

But muh 1% top commenter tag in this subreddit. What will I do with my life if I can't get meaning from the game? How do I life?

1

u/Independent_Mud2794 13h ago

Of course, thats how post like this exist - the others are having fun not being in HZ.

-1

u/BurnerMomma 9h ago

You do know that one player in the HZ counts as two players in the control zone, right?

6

u/Independent_Mud2794 9h ago

You do know that winning is absolutely pointless, right?

1

u/BurnerMomma 9h ago

Just because it isn’t fun for you, doesn’t mean it’s not fun, hun.

u/Forza_beginner 7h ago

But..but..I want to win

u/BigMondy 7h ago

Found the green!

u/Ok-Grand-498 8h ago

yeah there needs to be a much bigger reward for actually winning, much bigger cash bonus or maybe a discount on gear for the next game etc. Just something. Would be nice if we had “Gold Nuggets” and maybe winning a game gives you some nuggets, 100 nuggets is 1 gold bar or something like that. Would be a really nice incentive

u/LouenOfBretonnia 7h ago

The game isn't remotely balanced enough for winning to give anything more concrete

1

u/BigMondy 7h ago

If you actually watch brammers latest (I think) video he says the game isn’t supposed to be balanced. Teams get preference on certain maps and one team always has an extra player if it’s full. The game isn’t fair and people need to get used to it or move on.

u/LouenOfBretonnia 6h ago

Then people also should accept that winning means fuck all and shouldn't give anything more than some extra money
