Admire the disgustingly hamfisted Versus elevator that ruined the aesthetic balance of the keep main area. Use it.
Wait 5 minutes to get into a QP match.
Everyone has 150+ ping.
Get matched up against a premade of 4 who played since the beta and have 2000 hours in L4D2 versus.
Play as heroes. Get caught by a hookrat that literally has no animations or sound cues and is 6 meters away. Get vomited on by a troll while a stone building is between you and it. Get vomited on by a troll that has its back turned to you.
Play as Skaven. Get shot in the head in an instant by heroes who SOMEHOW do not get aim punched even when hammered by a ratling or a flamethrower.
It is Against the Grain. Finding a spot where one can spawn when 90% of the map are open field is a challenge to begin with, approaching the heroes is impossible.
The match takes forever and ever and ever and makes me want to unsubscribe from life.
Get a pathetic amount of tokens if won, none if lost.
Whoever thought it would be a good idea to have weapon skins and other non-Versus content that can only be earned in Versus to force this piece of sht garbage mode through FOMO needs to have their teeth kicked in. Probably is the same guy who put Curse of Comradeship and Unstable breed in the CW weekly all the time, so it would be a nice two for one.
When Versus was first announced 200 years ago the deal was that PvE stuff would not be locked behind the PvP mode. But along the way someone decided to change that and it’s beyond frustrating.
Can we at least have the option to purchase the new stuff with shillings instead? The Emporium is all out of stuff to spend them on anyways so now they’re just piling up.
“force this piece of sht garbage mode through FOMO”
What FOMO? There’s no FOMO in the versus store other than the exclusive rat skins (which should not affect PvE at all), everything else is left permanently?
Gotta play versus if you want weapon poses&some portrait frames.
I do like those poses myself, dont care about the frames but the mode itself…honestly i get that we are too few for really good balance but this is still quite atrocious. Its a cointoss of steamrolls which is…not great.
High ping is never fun in an online game. And yes, on launch there’s large skill gaps with experienced players vs new players. That gap will be less dramatic over time.
It’s really uncool wishing violence on whomever made Versus mode have rewards. If I am a Sienna main and don’t care for playing Bardin, should I flame the devs and demand access to Bardin’s portrait frames? If I never want to touch Weaves, how mad should I be that Weaves skins cost Weaves essence? There’s nothing unreasonable about rewards being tied to playing the thing that earns them.
Competition can bring out toxicity. When I was younger I’d get tilted playing competitive games and learned to avoid PvP. Nowadays I can enjoy PvP modes with a healthy headspace. If playing a certain game or game mode makes you angry, step away from it, there’s nothing to be gained stewing in anger.
