Playing mission, almost done - host migration happens. And game freezes at host migration screen for a few mins. Restarted the game. Getting rejoin popup - and game is getting stuck in infinite "Initiating mission..." Screen... Tried twice - same result. Internet was stable 100Mb/sec all the time. And not I'm gonna be punished coz I can't rejoin and u guys gonna block me for 5 mins+ smh plz fix this kinda hugs. Its been happening kinda often lately on PS4

Happens to me at least once/twice per day on PS4... Bad user experience design of the system.

2 days running only 2 missions to get 2 HIVE weapons - 0 drops. Anything else dropped, except for them hive weapons. I question they existence. If it will finally drop and someone else will get it - I quit lmfao

The controls are more realistic, man, not poor. You aren't a floating turret like other games. Think Gears of War.

Ok you kinda should have LEAD with that man LOL. That is not poor, that is how a TPS controls should be.

Ok so now the ONLY problem is the goddamn progression for solo players. I am not sure why solo players are so heavily penalized.

I think I'm gonna have to maybe try the free trial mission and then decide

Well it's a philisophical choice the developers made. MOST games that are FPS are SUPER unrealistic on how you move, how you aim, and how you switch directions, humans aren't floating turrets. There isn't anything wrong with floating turret games, like Overwatch, Quake, Serious Sam, Doom, etc... they're just silly fun, not meant to be taken serious or are too old of games to have realistic movements. Some games, however, want to emulate the feeling that your character is actually substantial, not a floating turret ghost, and has weight in the physical world. You cant 160 on a dime at full speed, you cant run and hold your gun PERFECTLY still while doing so, not even top snipers in REAL LIFE can do that. You can't go from zero to 60 the moment you hit the forward button. It's just more gritty and realistic.

Try it out, if you don't like it don't play it. There are plenty of floaty turret games out there.

You forgetting one thing ... This is a broken planet, space, aliens, sci-fi... U dont become invisible, or astral project urself in "real life", or shoot spore to impregnate enemies with a gun and suck the life out if them... So if we r playing aliens ... On a broken space planet why the hell u r applying every day earth physics  and logic to this? R u serious right now?

Well, yea, it's called suspension of disbelief. Raiders is a more "mature" take on Sci-Fi while Overwatch is a more Pixar cartoony version of Sci-Fi. Both are Sci-Fi but one has more suspension of disbelief. So, no floating turrets.

Star Wars and Star Trek both have aliens, laser beams, and space ships, but one is more "grounded" and the other is more fantastic. That's what suspension of disbelief is all about, it's a choice creators make.

Excuses. Still dont see a logical explanation how turning into a robot dog, or invisible is different from faster running... I call it BS

Well, I purchased a campaign just because I needed some blueprints and also thought it will improve my matchmaking. I got tired playing the same mission over and over again... So sure I didn't mind investing few $$... Just to find out that it was a fullish idea and here is why:

No one plays anything aside from the weekly mission. Out of 20 games I played, I only once got matched for other then weekly mission game. Population on ps4 extremely low. When I queue up for a specific (other then weekly mission) match ... 45 mins later - Nothing!

So why to buy campaigns if u won't benefit from it? No one will still play it until its a weekly mission and playing solo will NOT reward u anything. Why to even have a solo gameplay if there is no benefit from playing it.

Suggestion to the developers:
1) make solo gameplay reward exp, rep and blueprints. Lower droprate and amounts, but still - reward players. Otherwise, no reason to buy ur campaigns.
2) release a Solo vs AI game more. If I want to play as antagonist and select difficulty - I can do it but I will play against AI bots. And difficulty will increase amounts of rewards and blueprint drop chance.

And again, at thus stage I regret buying campaign I can't even play to get blueprints for characters I like. If there would be a way to get a refund I would totally do it... Its just frustrating

So you already made a thread about HIVE, and I talked about all the weapons a little bit there...
https://www.raidersofthebrokenplanet.com/community/index.php?topic=1624.0

As for Doldren- all guns have massive damage falloff past 10-15 ish meters. Basically you can't shoot across the gap in HBaT without losing damage.
All of his guns have a silencer mechanic, it depletes as you shoot rapidly, refills automatically.
KLT is a hand cannon that can 1-shot headshot most players and many enemies. Upgrades give it more shots, base shots are 3, most people consider it his best.
JK-5 is a machine pistol, shots have a high spread but gets tighter as you hold the fire button.
Bloody Mary is better explained by video. It's a bit better now than it was pre-Hades, as the shot quality also improves the fire rate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yk28tqmSRkk

And the weapons do explain their mechanics if you read the descriptions. Maybe not completely clearly, but it's more than nothing, as implied.

OK, that is getting somewhere. But why no one got any numbers? No one made a test ? Base dmg per gun, headshot dmg multiplayer, critical chance ... What da hell ... Also ur bloody my video kinda useful - so it got a dmg meter on the side and dmg gage and it improves the dmg to an enemy as u r doing more consistent dmg. So accuracy rewarded as an extra dmg. Got it.

I'm sorry man,  I'm not trying to be an ass.... but what I'm getting from your response is:

-The controls handle poorly for no other reason other than "the devs want it so"...which mind you... nothing that cannot be overlooked if the rest of the game is great to but it really sounds like a poor excuse like it was for dark soul.

-Each"hero" can equip only one weapon that can be changed out in between missions....again not a problem, I finished Mass Effect 3 and Andromeda basically using solely 1 weapon (the crusader shotgun)  but then again playing solo I will never be able to upgrade or purchase other weapons or tweak the existing one because I'm not getting any xp and very limited gold for no better reason that I simply do not want to play with others and somehow AI companions are not a thing.

The one thing I would want to play this for is the story...and the world building.

I think I will eventually actually play this...when the devs decide to respect solo players a little more.

Thanks for the answers man.

U r pretty much right.

Solo is pointless. U earn gold for the first completion and thats it. Everything good is locked between 4vs1 mode aka 4 raiders and 1 antagonist. Some things u can only earn when u play as antagonist, some as raiders. Plus a lot of RNG. Controls are Bad! Only thing i love is auto cover. Melee fight is very basic and broken. Also, do Not and I repeat Do Not invest any money in thus game, I just bough one campaign to see if I can play anything other then free for everyone weekly mission and out of 12-15 games it matched me only Once with  mission which wasn't weekly. If u will try to queue up for a specifically bought mission - its a waste - I waited for 30 mins in matchmaking - no luck. So I play this game as a filler while waiting for other games to come out or my usual games drop an update. Until Dev balances it out and introduce it to more players ... This game is dead outside the one weekly mission they release... And even then they matchmaking system is broken that it will match u 4 Lvl 1 raiders against experienced Lvl 50+ antagonist. So, thats my honest point of view of this game.
