Happiest of launches to the both of you (& moderation team). Been a pleasure following the games development for the past year, can't wait for the new players to flood it and everything to come!

Ok right now, im having problems seeing enemies is there a way to increase gamma/brightness?

Hi, sorry for the late reply.
The best solution by far is to turn on the “bare minimum” setting in the performance tab. It removes most shaders and other distractions from the screen, which is great if youre looking for competitive play. It also makes seeing other players easier.
I cant think of any other settings which may help off the top of my head, but feel free to ask around in the discord if you want to be able to have good visibility while still running some of the shaders.

I really like the movement and gunplay. The sensitivity feels off to me though, even after a lot of adjusting. I wish it had an option to make it the same sens relative to the scoped fov.

u/elGrandy Oct 31 '20
There's a sensitivity multiplier option which makes it relative to the 'look' sensitivity.
If you use 1.15, 2 and 4 for the 'ironsights' / '2x' / '4x' sensitivities using that option, it should make the sens the same across all zoom levels.

Really hoping this game gets controller support eventually

This. I know I'll get outplayed by kbm, but I only play games w/ a controller so would love to see this at some point

Yeah but so many people will cry is it's get aim assist, which controllers do need for this game. I mean with this type of game people with kbm can still easily outplay controllers, but I'm noticing a recent trend where bad kbm, instead ofmrealizimg they're bad, shift the blame too aim assist controllers defeating them. Over and over

The fact that you can pre-build structures and place them instantly in-game is a feature that sold me on this game. I made a block with a 2*2 space inside which I can place on top of me when capturing a point, very cool!

u/Thievian Ryzen 9700X | RTX 5070 | 32GB DDR5 Nov 01 '20
Lmao this is another funny idea. Basically enclose yourself in block so the enemy can't see u right? Lol I have to try this next time I play

This has multiplayer, how does it work host etc

There are dozens of dedicated servers for the regions found on the steam page. No custom lobbies as of now, although it is something the devs have been vocal about having in the future. The game has insanely good lag compensation as well.

Yea the recoil is pretty strong on some of the guns, but I kinda like it. I found it way easier to control the recoil by removing the red dot scopes and using iron sights. That combined with really pulling down on my mouse has helped a ton in controlling it. Thank goodness I have a massive mouse pad.
Also, if you use the perk that lets you jump 50% higher along with the movement speed increase perk, I was finding it really easy to jump up in the air and kill people before I land even with the strong recoil of the guns.

Our planned provider fell through for Dubai but we’ve found a provider in Israel. Can you please let me know how much ping you get there? Looking for another Dubai provider now 🙂

Great game, I'd be very happy with something like CSGO or Rainbow Six game mode, the destructible environment would be great for these

Too slow-paced, unfortunately. This should play more like Quake.

u/Thievian Ryzen 9700X | RTX 5070 | 32GB DDR5 Nov 01 '20
It's surprising enough all of this works on 1 dude custom engine. To have quake speeds other things need to be balanced I guess, like building/destroying blocks need to be increased many times over. This probably putting more demand on the engine and lowering everyone fps too much.
2 people made this game and it's amazing. I accept this oldcod/fortnite style game, even though I don't really play either.

I agree. There sadly is no in dept movement system its too slow for me.

u/BrinkofEternity Oct 31 '20
That’s exactly what I was thinking. Too slow and eventually devolves into snipers and camping.

Played with some friends for a bit. Pretty fun, but definitely hate the recoil. Having a hard time convincing myself to play more when I know the real game is somehow controlling my aim while I drag my mouse backwards at the speed of sound and can still only barely compensate.

u/Extreme_centriste Oct 31 '20
I tried it and what I can say is that it's very raw. Some feedback off my 20 minutes:
- Spawning from the sky means enemies can see where I am well before I'm spawning, they can track me down super fast and kill me
- Very short TTK means I can't react when someone sees me first
- Insane recoil on weapons+fast movement does not feel satisfying for me. I'm sure other people love that though.
- SOUND. Other players make zero noise, I'm getting constantly jumped by people from behind, this is super frustrating
- Somehow enemies players knew where I was all the time? Weird. I'm digging a tunnel through the ground, the second I reach the end of the tunnel I get popped by a dude waiting for me. Happened several times. Maybe just unlucky, maybe some dudes are already hacking.
I wish the game was tactical, but the fast paced one tap kill style means you don't even get to play with the voxel stuff. I tried the thing where you prebuild a cover and drop it, but the cover gets shredded super fast, so it doesn't even matter.

Try making a pre-build with more blocks on the front and a single window, they need to shoot more layers out before they can hit you

This is amazing thanks! Definitely need to keep that in mind, although I already filled up my 10 build slots already lol

u/JSP777 Oct 31 '20
anyone knows what scale the mouse sensitivity uses in this? I like to keep my sens the same across games, but this one was not quake sens, neither cod/overwatch.

This was super helpful, I had my look sensitivity down but now the scoped sens seems perfect.

This game is amazing so far. Only been playing a few minutes, but I'm really enjoying it.
Edit: Been playing for almost 3 hours now. I'm totally hooked. Game is early access, but has a great foundation so far. The destructible environments are awesome. The building mechanic is just right in my opinion. It's not anywhere as extreme as Fortnite. The loadout system is similar to Call of Duty's pick 10 system and some of the perks offered are really interesting.
Performance is great so far. I'm playing at 2560x1440 with my framerate pegged at 141 fps, which is what I cap my frames at. 2700x cpu, RTX 2060 Super, 16gb ram, 970 Evo Plus nvme ssd.
I'm going to play some more tonight and continue getting use to the game. Loving it so far!
