Even if they don't add full on custom kits using a tiered money system like people want, they could at least give some small options like weapon attachments. The best really would be tier 1 has access to tier 1 trader items and something like ~100,000ru for a kit. This increasing up to tier 3 where you get access to full trader items and ~500,000ru or something like that. Haven't played in a bit not sure if those budgets would work but you get the idea.

Nah. With the changes to recoil, attachment variety would be there. Plus does it matter if everyone uses common shit?

@maplegumm5 ай бұрын
@@fubarexress6359 Your using the same shit but a team can only use one of each preset. You can’t do that with attachments especially. Additionally having presets allows BSG to balance them out more instead of trying to balance every gun for what ammo it’s compatible with or attachment as well as gear. It’s fine in EFT where you don’t have to as it’s a free for all and you use the best gear you find and that’s that, but in Arena it’s literally just people getting the same exact copy of gear that their teammates have or opponent so they don’t lose the advantage. Like why would you choose a mp-153 with 7mm buck with a beanie when you can just use G36/RRLP with a Tor? It would just devolve back into pre-balance Arena.

@@Brzzzyexe Okay so say I’d say that the most “meta” kit right now is Diesel in CQB with the G36, as despite it having having shit RRLP it can reliability kill at range, he also has only level 3 armor and a face mask that can only stop SP8 at that tier. In the same category there is Murka who while having a lvl 3 face shield/helmet + lvl 4 armor AS well as a 133 with flechette, however the kit is limited by range as flechette has a very high damage drop off so you need to get up close to dish out dmg. Now let’s say that you can customize your kit, what’s stopping someone from running a tor + lvl 4 armor + G36 effectively making it one of the strongest kits in the game at low tiers.

I recently built my new PC on the upper high end of things. It's on a quality Ethernet connection with tests showing great numbers across the board. My point is that I am a best-case scenario for eliminating any issues that are not related to the game itself and I'm experiencing some things that in my opinion make the game unplayable for me. I can't trust my bullets. I can't trust my peaks. I can't trust that my character is even in the spot that I think my character is in on my screen. I can't trust that the enemy is where the enemy is on my screen either. Those are all fundamental things that need to be fixed before I can play the game. But I am excited for the future!

Also the one fun gamemode 2v2v2v2 or 3v3v3v3 arent even worth running from a grind/progression or even rank perspective because of how little return u get for winning for the amount of time it takes to complete the match. imo opinion they should just literally copy CS, why not?

In a gun fight the one who out skilled their opponent should win, not win based on who won a coin flip. Great Video!

I have no idea why everyone hates the armor system as much as they do, and the idea that they'd make the two games so mechanically different that they'd have two different armor systems in it is absurd and I personally LOVE using flesh ammo instead of AP ammo and with the armor changes its FINALLY viable. 11pen ammo at 1100RPM is much better vs soft armor and actually viable, and I think the difference of having half the games ammo's literally being a joke VS having them actually be useful but everyone has to care about their positioning more than ever is a fair tradeoff. If anything just ask for old movement back instead of old armor back

Personally I think if BSG wants to make a esport out of arena then they need to get rid of the loadout system they’ve made. I’d make it so players can create their own loadouts before a game, some with meta gear and others with basic kit. In game you have a buy system where depending on your Econ you can choose what kit to run for that round. If you die you lose that kit, but you move on with what you had the previous round. I’d also increase the game times to something closer to an esport
