We're currently trying a thing where whenever the squad has to squeeze through a tight spot on the way up with Valk ult they basically all collapse into Valk. Doesn't make a lot of PHYSICAL sense, but might be the best way to fix the "get stuck under geo and fall out of the map" bug. No ETA yet, but our engineer is working no this!

Consider a dev alerted. We know about rampart muzzle flash (part of the design and her power budget); you're straight up wrong on Mirage being weak. The aim assist thing is something we'd like to fix down the road but don't really feel it's high priority.

Yeah it is! It has the two tall buildings, the two bunkers, and the high ground reachable via zips and stairs. That's three distinct play spaces with sightlines between them and a clear ring/airdrop bias of one or the other. That makes it big enough!

You could do all of these things! However, you couldn't do those things and still have it be a "BR location"--the big win for us there is that we don't need to make a new map and can literally load the BR map. That's why you're not seeing any changes at all between Artillery in KC and Artillery the Arenas map--same for Thermal and Gardens in the next few weeks.

Now we could copy-pasta it into a custom map and develop it further that way, but at that point we might as well build a map for Arenas from scratch. If you've played a bunch of Arenas already, you will probably have found that Phaserunner and Party Crasher play a lot better than Artillery--that is because they were built from the ground up for Arenas gameplay, and we've learned even more since then so our next Arenas maps are going to be even better (IMO).

As for Party Crasher, having played on this map for nearly 6 months now, trust me when I say that people will eventually come to understand the power...

It would be too small! It's important to have multiple POIs in an Arenas map, ideally POIs with direct line of sight between each other. This might be one good POI (although there's a lot of sight blocking with the tall structures), but it wouldn't be enough for an arenas map.

Me, getting this as a bug report: *closes as Won't Fix*

My head canon: the Northstar Titan had 0.01% battery charge left and used the last of its power to pull Viper's dying body back into the c*ckpit, to try and keep him warm.

Yeah we only check for vertical clearance for valk, not for her teammates. We'll fix this one way or another.

Yeah, this is working as designed! Do remember that if you have a gun in your hands, this technique will force lower your gun for a little over 1 second, whereas Horizon can have a soft landing and instantly start shooting. Horizon also can transfer momentum forward after a hard fall whereas jetpack sets your momentum to a fixed value, aka you lose your forward motion. I do think the two are sufficiently different.

Fly twice as far in 10 times the time while hovering extremely slowly in the sky. Yeah you're free to do this in a real game! Gives me something to shoot at I can actually hit.

Look, computers are hard. (Thank you for the video! That'll help us fix it more quickly.)

Hope you're enjoying our new game mode, clay pigeon shooting.

Bangalore ult serves you a written notice of where it is going to do damage three weeks in advance, so if you get killed by that, it's really on you.

He's like that in meetings too.

Silence disables VTOL jets, but crypto EMP isn't a silence. Revenant tactical is. If you get tagged by that, no flying away. If the murder bot somehow hits you in mid air, you drop to the ground like a lead balloon.

It's really not a great idea to use her ultimately in a fight. I know our trailers keep showing it because it looks cool, but in a real game you'll just get killed.

Reddit's video player is great if you want to watch the first 3s of your video like four times at random quality settings.

You'll see. Lifeline ult is getting quite a bit better
