So I’ve been playing this for a while and feel like I’m noticing something but curious if I’m just crazy. I play ranked(platinum) and it seems the matches are usually fair. Meaning I feel like the player skill levels are similar. Im pretty good I think for the most part, I’ve also played 4K hours on pc so I know the game well. But when playing normal matches a lot of the time I(and my team) get absolutely demolished by Korean sliding 4x aug users. Instant headshots 100 meters away full auto. On pc I would understand it since aiming is way easier. But on controller? I also know ranked costs money so maybe that’s driving cheaters away? Idk let me know what you guys think please.

I have been learning electric guitar mostly for probably 3 years, started when I was 28 I think. I always play sitting down. I don't care to gig or anything soon, I just want to play well and for fun. However, I have run into an issue. Over the past couple months I noticed I just cant get super comfortable playing in the casual position. Mainly due to the low E string and A. The ones higher up my torso physically. I notice my right shoulder is always tense. I have been trying to consciously work on this for a month but I dont know if I have made progress tbh. I have also tried picking higher on the fretboard so my shoulder isn't stretching so far back. This results in me wanting to pick even past the highest pickups and onto the fretboard which feels weird for some reason. I try putting more weight on top of the guitar but that makes me feel rigid. Should my wrist be planted above the strings when playing the low E and A string? Having issues muting the low e on accident sometimes. My right leg is elevated slightly in a chair with no arm rests. I have a strap pretty high. I always kinda thought the side of the hand or so should be resting on the bridge but that seems sooo far cocked-back for my shoulder. After fighting this for a while I decided to try classical position and this does feel immediately better. It feels how I want casual to feel in terms of comfort so I can focus on playing. I don't really want to play in classical all the time but I suppose maybe I should. Actually that being said, I am fine when strumming chords or even playing higher melody strings for the most part. Its only when riffing or playing individual notes on these lower strings that it get frustrating. I am still kinda new to this so curious what other more experienced players think. I could post a video of my position if that helps btw just lmk.

Last note, as a last resort I am going to go the store tomorrow and try a bunch of different body styles and what not to see if something feels better for me.

Last time I played was this time last year when it was released on pc, it was my second play-through ever. I’ve got a new great pc and getting the urge to play again. I think I might start doing a yearly play-through because it’s just so good. Prob going to do grounded with hard resources or something for difficulty. Anyone else have a tradition or yearly play for this game?

I heard a while back coop mod was in development. Any news on this? Would love to coop in this game but seems like wishful thinking.

Just finished helping a newer fellow scout beat biomes 3-6 and see the credits again. Just in time for Saros start :) good luck scouts, we must go deeper
