Arena have a new, knife only event, inspired by the bug happened a few days ago.
And it's suprisingly fun, once you get the hang of it. Props for the devs for giving the players randomized melee weapons with each spawn, so ppl with the gladius unlocked doesn't just dominate the lobbies. Theres also a new achievement with the mode, can be done whitin a few games.
One can dream but ... something similar with grenades only could be also fun, and chaotic AF - and ppl could actually get done the quests with the grenade kills without losing their minds

Is it a new interface which I not figured out yet, or is it a visual bug? When we are supposed to click now?

Never was a chad, but never felt so beaten by the game. The games I play feels off ... in a lot of ways.

First the audio - did just every footstep got much more quiet, or am I trippin? Feels like sprinting is the only thing you can hear farther than ~15 meters, or maybe the gunshots became more loud, muffling the sound of the footsteps? Dunno but my game sense is in ruins, ppl just keep walking up on me without any audio, no matter what headsets I use; A few days ago I could easily pinpoint players location based on audio, and now hardly can do it

Than the hitreg - it was always problematic, but now it's somehow even worse, sometimes ok, but than a minute later half of your shots just not registering, it's very inconsistent, never seen such s**tshow before, enemies and me alike survive so many shots/encounters where one of us should've ended up dead whitin the first few shots

And then the stuttering/lag spikes idk what those called, but in every game, multiple times the FPS randomly drops to single digits for a brief moment, usually when you or your opponent starts shooting ... never had any performance problems with the game before, it's a completely new thing for me after the patch yesterday

So ... am I the only one struggling, or did BSG really borked the game with the May14 patch? Doesn't seen much posts about it yet, but I heard several players complaining with similar experiences in the game via voice chat during battles. Honestly, I'm just glad, that I was able to finish the BP a few days before this diabolical patch hit the game
