Yeah, they definitely need to add more teams.
Having said that, the NPCs being yellow bar captain tier enemies with cloak, and some of the most advanced NPC movement/cover I've seen in a game helps right now.

Yeah they are fun to fight as a trio but way too expensive as a solo. You can easily get swarmed as well.
Game really opens up when you hit Dire Marsh. Great map.

I never reached dire marsh. It's fine though I'll save all that for the full release.

It's about even. I've played about half my time as solo and half with a trio (and a few games as a duo). I think different shells are more fun solo and others more so for trio.
Solo is much more "stressful" tho as you never know when someone is nearby.

Just put him on ignore. It'll make your forum experience 100x better. I hate doing it but I got worn down. Dude has 20k posts on here and 99% of them are just a GIF or tweet from some retarded grifter or literally who. I think he's in his 40s too which makes it even sadder.

I'm hoping it's like a Destiny 2 Nightfall mixed with a little bit of Gambit lol

I was in the beta of Destiny, which I loved everything about. Artstyle, tone, atmosphere and obviously gameplay.
But this is very different than my first impressions of Destiny. Visually everything is repulsive, sterile and the menus are terrible and amateurish. I couldn't really play enough to test the gameplay which I guess will be decent as it's a Bungie game. But you really have to like those ugly colors. The thing that surprised me the most are the menus. But at least this part could be easily improved in the future.

Solos is very very cool. The stakes seem a lot higher. Managed a decent run there with some okish gear.
Its growing on me.

Can't believe people are getting upset by suggesting this game might do better as a F2P.
For those still thinking this will be successful at its current price + interest level, I brought a chart:

Aight played enough, Game is good. Looks to be a way deeper game than Arc Raiders, and can't wait to see the full content and endgame.

You were the guy posting yesterday that you don't like extraction shooters, right?

No, but if the game is good enough to simply play to warrant containing a grind to begin with, and the game is currently free, a valid expectation is that people should want to play it because they simply enjoy it with or without the grind. If I were Bungie, and watched 50% of my audience walk away from a free version of my USD$40 game, I'd be pretty worried.

Yes. i gave it couple of rounds more. this is just not fun at all. like ZERO fun. and the last game I tried to play they told me i dont have ammo. go to vault ? i have no ammo in the fucking vault. useless shit. i start the game, run around for 10 mins trying to find ammo but no of course you wont find any . just to get surrounded by shit bots.
fuck this garbage man.

free loadout would have solved your problem

You can choose a free loadout or purchase ammo from the Armory.

Didn't know there is such a thing even. the whole UI is horrible. icons that doesnt tell shit. you have to memorize, or wait few seconds while you are hovering on top of it to tell u what it does. it seems its hard for bungle to make instant. no you have to wait till the pop up text appears by that time bots or enimies will eating dinner on top of your ass.
just no. good luck to everyone who is loving it. this is a bomba for me.

brainrot generation probably doesn't know how
EDIT:
would rather rage through several runs and post on the internet than take 5 minutes to learn the UI and read some text

The game explains what each section of the menu does. In fact you have to dismiss the message or it will stay on the screen. In that Loadout menu there are 5 tabs: Customize - Shell - Loadout - Vault - Armory. Each tab makes sense and even if the game hadn't explained it, it's obvious what each tab is for.
Sure, there could be more icons within each category of items, but each category DOES have its own icons and it doesn't take long to figure out what is what. The item info could be condensed or shown differently, I agree there.

In between runs, you never hovered over the giant bags in your vault to find out what they did? Or headed to the armoury to buy ammo/keycards/weapons, etc?
There's no delay in hovering over something that's been revealed before the tooltip comes up. The only delay is when loot is being uncovered. That's a feature of the genre.

I reinstalled it to try one more time. But I did play for 1 hour and a half. I am not raging over free shit i am trying. its just not getting better. I am not having fun with it.

do not start a run when you fire the game up. go to loadout, and read and understand EVERY TAB in that section of the UI (though I suppose to could skip the cosmetic customizations).

have you tried any of the other shells? click each one and understand what their abilities are, pick one that fits your play style best. vault has all the stuff you've collected, as well as rewards for completing your contracts/missions. have you taken or completed any? armory is where you can buy stuff for credits or mats. you can always get a FREE 'sponsored' loadout from there too, though when you do that you can't bring any other extra stuff with you.

I think I'm done with this playtest and I think right now this game isn't for me. I was on the fence with it because it's got a lot of great things that I like but like I mentioned before the Solo stuff is just poorly tuned and it's been a common complaint/like that since the betas and nothing has changed. This for me is what is pushing in the wait and see direction for now. Visually it's great imo and I do like the sound design which is part of why I like solo more because I like sneaking around the environment and listening and planning it's fun but when most of the objective are impossible due to the AI bots it's just something that ruins it for me it's unbalance and ammo is a major problem even headshotting and being careful with it's use.Hope they do well for now it's to the wish list and I will keep an eye on it.

Ammo economy could definitely use some tweaking.
Buy ammo then. It isn't hard to work out.
BurningNad

Honestly I don't agree. I think things are going to change as people get steadily further. The economy needs to get established, like right now there's a 30k credits cap. I will not get there anytime soon and I will not need the abilities in the skill tree to increase it until way later. I feel that it'll be similar with ammo.
