@ocean-santa5827 sagte in The HitReg is Broken!:: I might have a solution.:
@stundorn What i don't grasp is this "self inflicted problem." > How is it self inflicted? If i play a game that is Pvevp and i decide to focus on the "vp" part of it.
How am i inflicting this problem on myself?
The main focus of the game (adventure mode) is to do contested PvE.
You can sure focus on PvX, but if you then have more problems because you are focused, then this is a self inflicted problem the players who branc hout into all aspects of the game have less to not really relevant.
I PvP in Adventure everytime i need to defend myself or have the opportunity to get loot or a flag, i dont bother to fight for the sake of fighting.
People who do so have problems because they focus on only one aspect is not a general problem.
I dont say hitreg is good, but if you play pvevp in a balanced way it's a minor issue imho.
Hitreg is fine for what the game is: an adventure game.
PvE only players have also self inflicted problems when they refuse to see the PvP aspect.
I once said Arena was a mistake because it attracts players with different demands and here we are.
A lot of Arena or PvP focussed players want to turn the game more into a FPS game, what it is not.
You can make it one and then you will find problems that are not that big generally more problematic.
So if events are broken and i only do events, am i self inflicting the events problem on myself?
to some degree yes, but server events are the perfact example for a mixed PvEvP element of the game.
The PvP of the game is ok as long as you dont focus on it and pvp in a relaxed for fun way.
If hitreg would be that bad that you cannot fight at all, i'd agree, but if you pvp here and there and dont focus on it, it is a rare occurance.
And we also regulyrily hoist REaper and farm events and fight all ships coming and even hunt all emissary who dont log.
Maybe every 3rd battle i have a hitreg poblem, but that is maybe also because we more rely on ship combat than on pirate to pirate combat or dg'ing
Arena failed yes, but it's debateable. It never "failed" in the sense of it being something ppl didn't wanna do.
People enjoyed Arena, it was very active on its release. The issue is that Rare decided to completly abandon it and never add anything new to it for years.
Anything dies if thats what you decide to do with it. Imagine if Adventure never got any new content update since its release, you think SoT would be as active as it is today? Probably not.
I also play with someone who's plays Arena and even partakes in NAL tournaments etc.
And some of us are also LSD or triumphant even, idk exactly.
tbh Rare didnt want to make a pure PvP mode like a BR or just an 1v1 crew ship battle.
I also suggested some more PvP modes without chest digging etc.
But i also realized very early that the combat is not good enough to have fun focussing on PvP combat, especially Pirate to pirate and shooting.
Too many exploits, too much cheesing, the bad spawncamping, some glitches etc.
Again, for a fight here and there all fine, do it solely or focus on it, nah sorry not round enough not really fleshed out and acurate. I aproach this game casually for fun.
If i want to compete more seriously i choose other games with better combat, no matter if we talk about pirate to pirate melee or gunplay etc.
Ship battles are nearly completely fine i'd say.
"And let everybody play like he want to to, true?"
Exactly, so let me only do pvp if i want to.
sure, btw i take the hitreg like it reflects the inaccuracy of guns of that time.
And i also say the game is not heavily competetive but a casual game.
I'd even say Rare has extra this combat to make a complete noob beeing able to kill you even if you are a pro FPS gamer. It's maybe intended to keep the game casual friendly?
That is the big picture i talk about.
Rare cannot or isnt willing to do anything in this regards. Arena they tried the way they imagined it will work, but it just didn't.
They should and do focus on Adventure mode only now and again, i think this is a good thing and dont waste time to fix combat what seems to be not possible or as i said not really what they want to make it mega crisp and skillbased.
It has this random aspect to it. some luck and you are fine although regarding skill you "should have lost" maybe.
I'm ok with it.
The hitreg is game breaking in a pvp environment.
i'd say if you expect a super crisp and smooth first person combat melee and shooting that is 100% skillbased e-sport ready then it's maybe game breaking yes.
But i dont think SoT is this game and i also dont want it to become that game.
So to me its a minor annoyance and not gamebreaking at all.
Ppl have already stated hundreds of times that pve only in the game and if all pvpers left, the game would very quickly die. And the pvp scene is seeing a decline for sure.
PvEvPers like me will stay, i dont want to miss PvP in this game, its important, but its not important that it is perfectly working like one would expect for a PvP only game like an online FPS.
The issue is very much fixable. They just don't wanna chip in the money to do it. And ppl like you are just defending them. For no reason.
tbh the reason is, imho SoT adventure PvP will lose its organic and fun nature.
It will become too serious, drive a lot of socializing and cooperative players away and the PvP will be more KoS and less of a funny Pirate Adventure.
And Arena showed like a lot of semi competetive Shooter show how toxic the playerbases often are.
I dont want that audience.
I'd say R6S and more serious FPS like ArmA Series have far more friendly and good sports playres than Fortnite, CoD etc....
To be good at PvP and play a casual game is all fine as long as there is a SBMM, else you just cherrypick easy targets imho.
Imho SoT wants to be a family friendly, casual friendly game, not a serious pvp focussed game.
"Also its fine, not really a big problem."
For you it is. Be specific, it's fine for YOU.
yes for me, i always can only speak for myself not for others. And the big picture is, most people seem to be fine with it, it's just a minority who want PvE Servers or think hitreg is gamebreaking etc...
"The few shots that i miss because of hitreg dont spoil the game for me."
Thats fine. But for many many others, it does spoil the game for.
in understand that, but it's like a bubble view, not?
Generally - just think about the fishing event - its not a big problem.
It's not secluded to only Arena. And again its not a big issue for YOU.
And i've survived and sunk ppl simply cuz they get hit reg on me aswell. I don't think they had fun loosing 200k loot, cuz the hit reg decided to favor me that day.
happens, also to us/ me - i dont mind it because it happens rarely.
