They level uncapped Initiation Breakthrough so I've been playing that mostly. I actually feel useful in that mode. lol I wish there was a Conquest or Escalation version.

Weapon progression is going to kill this game in the long term. It's just way too long for the casuals like me.
Yeah thats the one ive been playing mostly. Its chill and fun. I wish they added a solo mode like 2042 had with just you and AI. Playing against 15-20 yr old somethings is fun for like 20 min and then youre done, lol.

I had a decent kd ratio just real pvp killing for 5hrs and then proceeded to bot lobbies for the next 10hr or so. now back to real pvp and my kd dropped a ton. so skills....but did get away with bunch of unlocks.

The problem with the one I was using, is its full of actual players. And iirc the players have increased health and other things that make them take 4-5x longer to kill then bots. And since the servers are at capacity you cant just host one with yourself + bots. You have to join one of these already going servers, that are at least 1/2 real players if not more.
you host your own with a passcode to keep it just you

There is just enough people so you'll get some legit pvp too. It's a good mix of bots/real people.

I know, but its always at capacity(you get an error saying so), so there is no room to host one. Especially as I am sure a lot of them are people doing solo.
I guess you just have to keep spamming the host button and eventually you get through. I've made 32 person ones and those seem to get through easier, but the stupid thing won't fill up entirely with bots and the match won't start. It says a lot about the unlocks that everyone is feeling the need to farm bots. They need to rethink things honestly.

why isn't there a mod yet to skip the two intro's, having to press spacebar twice is too much for this old man

I was thinking about that the other day. I worry if you modify or delete files you'll catch a ban with their anti-cheat.

How do you do a solo with a password? I thought you needed at least one other person to join? At least that is what I see in the portal when I start messing around making my own which I could host locally than rely on one of their actual servers.

I also wonder how many people made this persistent with a password so they always have access and it's always up.

This. I have zero desire to shoot for other guns.

Unlocking a gun you want to try then slogging through 5 games with a super soaker to get attachments that make it usable feels really bad. It's like the default AR for Assault felt horrible, but the SECOND you get any front grip it feels 5x better.

Some of these guns are painful because you think they can be good so you grind through the attachments for several games and then realize, nope, they're not good. It's a real pacing problem. They unironically need to get some Mt. Dew bonus exp codes or something going for those of us who don't want to do bot games.

Any definite meta gun lists out there? 2nd ar feels awful even with s fewattachments, like 8 fucking barrels but don't have any yet

Most of the meta sites are all AI slop, so I wouldn't trust them. With gun bloom and their netcode issues I don't even know if they can say what's the best gun outside of hipfire within 20m which seems to lean towards the starting AR and the Vector SMG right now from what I've seen. I'm testing all the LMGs and they're mostly dogshit past 20m and nearly impossible to hit a target at 50m now because there's a 35% damage drop off and the bloom at that range is insane even with sustained fire barrels.

Whatever you can hipfire accuractely and kills quickly is basically what most of the streamers are running.

Well after googling it all makes sense now.

I got into a XP bot farm - Was leveling the SGX - played 3 matches with 100+ kills easy and level'd twice for main, Gun Level is now.... fucking 5. After an hour.

From everything I am seeing it is an intentional grind to force you to buy a fucking battlepass. Fuck that shit. If that is the case I sure am glad I didn't buy this.

This gun grind even with the AI bot XP custom lobby is absolute dog shit. So we play against bots for weeks just to get the guns unlocked and leveled to use what we want?

I can see some form of leveling system but for fucks sake make it max reachable in a 5 or so matches when you have 45 guns.

going to take 10 hours killing 100+ bots per game fucking up all your stats just to maybe come close to leveling one fucking gun to 50.

Modern gaming in a nutshell, well mostly online gaming. Paying 60 or 70 bucks isnt enough, now you have to tune things to drive people to spend $ on extras. I am shocked they haven't nerfed the bot farming. Just making it so you gain zero exp against bots or 25% of normal or something like that.

I wont buy a single booster. Those things start counting down the second you activate them and they countdown when offline, the former ok fine, but whoever implemented the latter should be taken out back and shot.

The gun leveling is absolute ass. I already paid my 70$ what are they trying to do? The worst thing about the 21st century are companies in general not respecting their consumer.

There isn't even a financial incentive to keeping me grinding. Just make it interesting enough to keep those dopamine receptors going off. I don't need to grind and hour long game and only get 2 levels of a gun.

All game companies need to take note from Hades 2 what smooth fucking progression looks for a company that respect it's player's time.

I was going to level up some guns tonight too until I realized I will play against bots for four hours and get my ONE SMG to 30/50. It would take a year to do this in normal play how it stands to get everything unlocked just to play the way you want.

SO glad I did the EA pro shit now.
