Softcore Update
The new softcore updates have made the game mode near unplayable. I have two major contentions.
Gather rate should never have been changed. Combined with a raid window, this is the fastest way to kill the soft core servers. People accumulate too much too fast, and no longer wish to play the server once they’re done. It’s day 4 today and there are already decaying bases, which isn’t normal. Might as well make this a PvE server at this point.
I am 100% convinced, even though it is not in the patch notes, that damage was changed. I am no PvP chad by any means, but I’ve been successful on softcore for several wipes now. What stands out to me, is that killing nakeds takes waaay longer with 5.56 than it ever has. It also seems like plate armor and BDU are not as helpful as they were previously. You shouldn’t automatically win a fight as a full metal/bdu ak vs a hazmat with a Thompson but it shouldn’t be a 50/50 fight either. Is anyone else experiencing a difference in PvP from previous softcore wipes?
As an honorable mention, the raid window is fucked and never should have been implemented.
