Yesterday’s @playoffthegrid tourney was the best and fairest so far but that's mainly because of @FlawgamingHQ new format.
I feel like some things about current gameplay should change. I will provide a short feedback right now.
(This is shortest I can do sorry)
I think we’ve deviated a lot from the beginning of the game — the gameplay has changed dramatically and slowed down for reasons I don’t understand.
This might’ve happened to give casual players more breathing room and keep them from being run down too quickly, or it’s just a different vision from the devs.
Imo, slowing the game’s pace down is a big mistake because that constant action is what makes the game great. Casual or not, the best part of the game is taking fights nonstop.
Right now, the competitive game loop looks like this:
loot boxes, do a few missions, get a loadout, rush players calling their loadouts, die, loot again to buyback your team, die again trying to revive them because there are too few revive stations, loot again for loadouts, get jumped when calling loadouts late game, and repeat.
It’s a constant struggle for no real reason — it hurts both players and viewers. I don’t see any reason not to let the economy be heavily inflated; you can always balance it later by raising the cost of buying teammates or adding longer cooldowns for spam buying. But things need to change — this game isn’t about looting crates. It’s about taking fights, making mistakes, dying, reset and repeat.
(gameplay balance)
-Double the money from crates and missions (not kidding).
-Increase money rewards for kills; drop a percentage of held cash when killed.
-Add more revive stations and give them better cover.
-Reward money for extracting a hex.
-Buff the respawn loadout.
(guns balance)
Some guns are just too op then the others and this is bad for the game. Limited supply guns should never have more ttk then the basic ones. You can just diversify with their recoil, firerate etc. But the ttk should always be the same. I'll give a shoutout to most broken weapons right now:
-kestrel 1 shots should never be a thing in this game
double shot body is still op. The kestrel was perfect as it was before, we all still loved it.
-type 227 simply broken
-flenser is the most op in the game right now, mostly because is a perfect match with the dash mechanic and cyberlancers.
-tacoma pioneer is still crazy good. what makes it even more absurd is being such limited supply. This makes no sense and if this game wants to be taken seriously, this things should only act like cosmetics.
(limbs balance)
Some guns are just way too overpowered compared to others, and that’s bad for the game. Limited-supply guns should never have a higher TTK than basic ones — you can balance them through recoil, fire rate, and other stats, but TTK should be the same.
-Painkilla shouldn't heal and revive in red zone.
-Skunk aoe and damage should be addressed (can even be reworked in different ways)
-Slugger aoe, charges and slow should be addressed
-Shield needs a rework, be able damage it from outside, add more cooldown etc.
-Cyberlancers slightly nerf the damage, screen visuals when getting hit etc
-Paralyzer can have a rework too, can even make it skillshot again (without stunning)
If @playoffthegrid really wants to put an effort into a competitive scene I really think those changes are a must. Also I would mention that those things I talked about are worth nothing if we can't have a fix about the lag issues in custom lobbies.
Everything I’ve mentioned is completely objective, and I believe I’ve considered all factors. I really think this could be the best version of the game for all types of players.
There's also few small stuff that I can't think of right now but that's for another day.

gm, thanks @FlawgamingHQ@blaze_stream @playoffthegridYesterday was the best tournament format we’ve had in OTG so far. Even though I won, I feel more responsible to point out a few things for the future.
I was about to make the post right now, but I woke up to this crazy DM:
One of the few reasons that keeps me motivated to play these tournaments is the rivalry between my team and @Shazz_V’s team.
With all due respect for all participants, it doesn’t matter to us whether you win or lose any tournament. Even though this is the best format so far, it still doesn’t show the real difference between our two teams and the rest. You’ll never make up for our 6months of daily competing during C4C, no matter how many hours you put into the game.
I have to remind you once again that the only reason some of you made good money during C4C was because of the rivalry between our two teams.
We used to compete daily for the same prize pool as this tournament for 6 straight months. If some of you really think they helped us win our match point, you’re clearly out of your minds. Both mine and topcat VODs are still available on Blaze and twitch.
I'm holding back so much while writing this post, some of you kids still surprise me with your claims.
Shoutout the some of the cola kids (i don't know which ones) but I heard they love @TopCxt
C ya kids.
I saw few adorable little kids doing montages lately... So it was about time.
I gathered highlights from the best players in @playoffthegrid just to remind you how real ones play.
It's time for reality check kids.
Enjoy.

@Jakeronthia_@VitoApH@staratlas@solanagaming so ww team didn't dump their tokens yet. c00l gameplay 50 playerbase. but ngl in 10 years and another half billion funding this might be something if not dead in the next 2. i'll put 50 bucks to it thx
@meatportmusic I saw it already, you're not ashamed to compare cs with 100 million MAU build in 20+ years with OTG. But let's not compare this https://t.co/AxToOKRorG with 58k users looking to dump their nfts. OTG is amazing but your shilling skills are only fooling half brain individuals.
Today, we have the honor of being special guests at the "Main Web 3 Trends of this Summer among Whales Radar" space on X, hosted by @gotbit_io Hedge Fund.
Gotbit is well-known for being market maker of top projects like @bonk_inu and @MyroSOL, and is a leading entity in the cryptocurrency and blockchain sectors, managing $1.5 billion in assets.

What's next???👀
