I just like the pvp on that map, but i said this with the Dire Marsh sponsored queue aswell, these maps needs a lot more shit happening on them. More teams, more pve events, more shit to do. Loot is pretty bad on perimeter, thats another issue

That my issue, there is hardly any pvp on the best pvp map. I'm Sure the teams have been reduced, not come across more than 2 squads in any given run. Just spawn two at each POI. Nobody has anything to lose after all.
Also while you are right about maps needing more to do, its took you this long to do the intercept event...........

lol well i barely saw it spawning or i just didnt paid attention to it because i had other priorities. With the free kit queue you are just looking for squads and events

Wonder if they should, on occasion, beam in another team around the 15 minute left mark. Maybe if the game recognizes the map reached a single team too quickly, it prioritizes pulling in another team to keep the late match interesting.
They have to fix those spawns too. I hardly ever get spawn camped in this game. It's BS.

Spawns are terrible at times, Darsh being the worse offender.
I have a ton of thoughts on this game to post now the dust has settled. None involve running, paid shells but the odd wet fart. Get your tissues ready.
Also everyone pour one out for that 8bitwolf dude, was sure it was going to be me or

Ran one and only one cryogenic match today, fairly purpled out was going to vault 1... engaged w a team also purpled out an assassin ran downstairs and took shots to the face from all three of us basically point blank and he killed us before his teammates came down to join him. Happens so much in this game I dont fucking understand it. Also we heard them on prox chat and our recon threw up his ultimate which pinged some nearby robots but somehow they did not return a signature at all despite being right around the corner from us... wtf.

What were you doing on perimeter? Its a fun event since the initiating team shoots down the package before the bot swarm is dead. Its possible to third party duck in, grab the objective/salvage, and bounce if you play it right. I've stolen it as rook and as one player left on a team.
Perimeter always cleared out quickly. Sponsored kits speed up the process since the initial rush to station won't be interrupted by a team of snipers. Sponsored queue is always going to be boring to me because it removes any tension from the game. I'm using it for quick queues to hit level 100 before my season break.

I'd love to run cryo with a GAF squad a few times before seasons end.

Best we could have hoped for. I'll take it.Sony's earning results regarding Bungie was a catastrophe as expected, but atleast this part is somewhat good news, atleast for now

Basically what I expected. The money is already spent and Marathon is good enough with a solid enough core to try and fix. Shutting it down immediately would make no senseSony's earning results regarding Bungie was a catastrophe as expected, but atleast this part is somewhat good news, atleast for now

Would you guys like the following "fix"?
The current progression system feels like 52 Pickup. Every upgrade is available as long as you put the time in. This leads to upgrades feeling less impactful because higher skill / players who put more time in are unlocking the same upgrades you are, only sooner.
Should they be reducing the number of upgrades you can unlock in order to make build crafting feel more unique to every player?

They should just make the more impactful ones easier to reach.
Maybe have base upgrades available for every faction then at a certain level you have to pick a faction and stick to it.

What im expecting from season 2:
New contracts and story.
Plenty of QOL improvements.
Decent progression changes.
Better on boarding.
New shell.
Night Marsh that fits in-between Outpost and Cryo.
Cryo Rework.
New event or two.
New cores and implants.
New weapons.
In short, not a nuke but a step in the right direction.

PoE2 director said in an interview that when you do live service you shouldn't be looking at diminishing player counts during a season, but you only look at how many players come back at the start of a new one.
Basically don't be afraid to lose players after a couple of weeks, but only become scared when season starts get less and less players.
I think that is what Sony is also betting on.
Just don't tell this to my friends at the CCU thread…

I expect a new shell, new map, new weapons implants attachments etc, and some big boy Durandal talking sweet nothings into my ear.
Cryo will remain shit. Solo cryo not happening.

They talked about 'the cradle' in S2 being a way to further customise your attributes.
Could this maybe be something like you are getting resource points to add to your attributes when you survive a raid or take a certain item out?
When you die it will reset, since you need a new shell
Would be kind of like Hunt Showdown.

I'm just expecting them to make it slightly more accessible to the average player. If they change up progression a bit and make blue gear purchasable earlier I think that would go a long way. Also maybe stuff like sponsorded cryo events every now and again.
The exfil rate must be way lower than what they intended, never mind compiler kills.

Damn guess I better get back in and hit level 100. Been a bit slack lately.

Good stuff. I was sure it was getting pushed to the back end of the month due to Destiny launching around the same time.

Season Two will absolutely have less players than Season one unless they launch with a free trial week even then I doubt it'll be anything significant. Where they go from there is make or break imo.PoE2 director said in an interview that when you do live service you shouldn't be looking at diminishing player counts during a season, but you only look at how many players come back at the start of a new one.

I may come back for this week of final cryo just to unload all my gear to see if I can get even one cryo key room done.
Anyone on GAF have any keys?

Maintenance is absolutely madness tonight. All teams seem to be converging on it. Wiped the lobby on one game with a team of maniacs. Then had a 15 mins scrap with 3 other teams the next.

Self revive is too fast but not sure about player reviving needed touching. Have to see how it plays out I guess.
