  • We're now a little over a month into XDefiant so the honeymoon phase has largely worn off and today, I wanted to share my updated thoughts and experiences with the game now that things have settled in more. What are your thoughts on XDefiant currently? Are you still playing? If not, what pushed you away?

    For me the main thing that's bothering me right now in Xdefiant is the Intel suit wall hacks ability like you said in the video. I feel like there's no real counter to it I feel completely helpless whenever I get pinged on my screen. You can try hitting them with an EMP but that can be extremely difficult given you don't know exactly where they are and Everyone else on the opposing team can see you as well. you're at such an overwhelming disadvantage in my opinion. Even the Spiderbot while Super irritating to play against I can shoot it, EMP it or play the operator that allows me to hack equipment. I think if for the same amount of time as the constant ping it was a sweep or added a counter It would be far less oppressive to play against.

    • @kjak94
      @kjak94 Před 6 dny +9

      I feel like there's absolutely zero reason why your teammates should be able to see the wall hacks. That's such a strong ability, it should only help the player using it, but instead when you get pinged by it, like you said, you're a sitting duck.

    Me & My friend who are long time cod fans both have played this game. I'm ADDICTED and he has dropped the game completely and doesn't enjoy playing.
    For me, I love this game because of how satisfying the gun-play is. The guns feel better than anything I've every experienced in cod, (outside the OG Black Ops trilogy). The movement is SO FUN and Addicting (I like to slide around corners, jump, strafe and I can use every single gun class and compete. The specialists are both fun and kinda free kills at the same time, I enjoy using them and trying to maximize each ones effectiveness but sometimes encountering them checkmates you no matter what you do but overall I enjoy the operators. I feel like no gun is in an unusable state (however the Tac-50 is still too easy to use, I never snipe in any fps and it's my best gun on this game and feels bs)
    My friend dropped the game because he felt like the netcode was awful (I still die behind corners very regularly), feels the specialists are OP and spammable and hates their passive perks (120 hp phantoms, incendiary rounds, wall hacks, spiderbots), hates the spawns, map designs and the sliding, jumping meta

  • @pierreollivier1
    @pierreollivier1 Před 6 dny +59

    I hope they rework that spider bot, It's way too OP as of right now, people argue that it's not that hard to kill and that it's not even that good, but the reality is that it's very buggy right now, half of the time even when you do try to shoot it by shooting to the ground, it doesn't work, sometimes you get hit by the animation twice, and even when you manage to kill it you wasted ammo and revealed your position to the enemy, you have less HP so you are an easy target.
    Plus there are other use case you can use it offensively and defensively, you need to heal and you are scared the enemy is going to jump you hide in a corner and deploy it. You want to get intel on where enemies are drop it and follow it, You want to avoid enemies drop it and avoid it. And in objective game mode in offense if there is more than 3 spiders you literally can't do anything to get the edge, last time I played escort and we were unable to even reach the bloody thing, eitheir we were killed by campers and snipers (which is ok for an obj gamemode) or we would reach the objective and get stunt by a spider and die.

    • @darktoster
      @darktoster Před 6 dny +4

      I don't think spiderbot is OP just an unfun mechanic. I don't enjoy dedsec but I played it for the character challenge. It often doesn't do anything useful, or if you do follow it you end up out in the open dying. But when you die to it it never feels like you got outplayed, just cheesed. So I would swap it out just for that reason. Maybe if they made it more skillful in some way to help push past people camping defensive points in escort, which feels like its niche to me.

    • @TheShapeshifter
      @TheShapeshifter Před 6 dny +4

      Yeah, its kind of OP most of the time. On top of being hard to shoot, I find it gives me and my teammates a huge advantage whenever I stick someone with it. Just free kills and assists if you time the ability right.

    • @MerrStudio
      @MerrStudio Před 6 dny +3

      The main reason why I find spiderbot annoying is because it doesn't require any skill to use and it heavily punishes aggressive and movement players. You flank a lot and push head on often? Enjoy getting spider botted every single time.
      As for your comment - the most bugged thing is the animation, but hitbox is consistent - always shoot at your feet even if you see no spiderbot, you will destroy it every time. It doesn't really work if you want to help your teammates tho

  • @lalter_
    @lalter_ Před 6 dny +6

    Other than fixing the bugs, I would make the spiderbot's hitbox bigger, because currently it's frustratingly difficult to shoot before it actually jumps onto you.
    Another ability that lacks any kind of counterplay is firebomb, it's just a free kill every time and it's especially unfair on Occupy.
    I also feel like the fuse timer for the sticky grenade is inconsistent sometimes.
    Regardless, I love the game, and I know it will get even better once they sort everything out, especially in the hands of devs that actually listen to their community and act fast.

    Dedsec class phone ability should have a counter tracker where if you use the phone after getting Intel pinged it instead pings the location of the person who pinged you as a counter. That would also add some more viability to it as well as an interesting counter. And it would make sense like a hacker tracking down the location of someone trying to track them just like in the Watch Dogs games.

    Still playing and loving this game. Old school COD gamer who quit long ago and I'd agree this definitely has an old school COD feel. I've been primarily playing hotshot, such a fun game mode and a nice twist on "kill confirmed" that we see in COD a lot.
    My biggest 2 issues with the game are the spiderbot that's so incredibly annoying to deal with and I feel the sniping is still too overpowered. You don't run into as many snipers in hotshot but if I go over to escort or zone control it can get obnoxious. The flinch still seems to not affect enough.

  • @beastmastreakaninjadar6941

    I think the way to fix the intel suit is to make it only give maybe that one snapshot for the teammates but display them on the minimap to the team, regardless of range, for the duration of the ability. Frankly, I don't find the minimap very useful at the moment since we don't have UAVs, except for knowing where teammates are. And when the time's almost up the dots and highlights should start to flicker off and on. Also, a real problem I personally have with the intel suit highlights has to do with the map's color palettes. When they're behind cover and solid red, that's fine. But when they're in line of sight, the shading often camouflages them more than they would have been without it. (Also, that damn silver Phantom player skin is almost like a permanent Digital Ghillie Suit. What's up with that? If I was gonna buy a skin, it would sure as hell be that one.) All in all, though, I gotta say that the game is pretty good. It sure doesn't feel as rigged as CoD and I've been able to go off in some matches like I haven't been able to in CoD for a very long time. And that's what I would have asked for kind of boils down to.

Xdefiasnt doesn't have sbmm, but the team balance can be so strict it can basically feel similar or worse to cods eomm. Especially for solo players with good stats. I have a 2kd, 4k skill rating and the team balance can be so punishing. Then you play parties on top of that, and it won't even tell you you're against a party!?

    1. Some cases, it is not possible to shoot the spiderbot of your face. It also recharges quite fast and has quite a bit of health.
    2. Wallhack ability charges a bit too fast and is too powerful.
    3. I still get sniped quite often even though I a shooting at them. I think it should not really happen.
    4. Getting ghost hitmarkers and dealing no damage.
    5. Dying around corners, but a lot less now.
    6. Team balancing is sometimes way off. Doesn't matter if I get 40 kills in a TDM, I'll still lose and this happens quite often.
    7. Not enough stuff to unlock. I have most guns gold already and all challenges done. I guess they'll fix that tho.
    8. Shotguns are penalized too much after jumping or sliding, since you gotta do that sometimes anyways. AA12 is trash even without that.

    Thanks for the vid! I will say, as someone who used to love CoD, but stopped playing, I love the airstrafe mechanic. It's an EASILY accessible mechanic for all players to learn that isn't quite like jetpacks (because some will hate that), but adds a little spice to each engagement that discerns this from a strict CoD clone. I love that for now, but we will see! I think for people who understand L-stick aiming, this mechanic is very intuitive as well. It provides a small skill gap that everyone can use!

    Agree on the echelon ability, that the wallhacks should only be for the player using the ability and not the whole team. As for the spider bot, the most annoying part is that it sometimes doesn't work to look down and shoot it off. I guess it must be a glitch?

  • @darktoster

    I completely agree. An extra couple things i would add are the bug where you shoot on respawn from buffered input is annoying, especially with a sniper. I also think biovida boost is too weak as a standard ability, and the healing ult is a bit too strong.

    I don’t think it’s you get what you get. I noticed it takes about 3-5 minutes to get a game and half the time I load into a game on a loosing team. An example I joined a game today and within 1 minute I tripled my teams kills /support/ and obj time. This happens more often than not. Not that I’m some kinda pro by any means it’s just strange how it happens back to back. I have all inputs on also the bottom 2 people also rotate out over and over , so our team is almost always down 2 people.

    If I were in charge of balancing abilities:
    spider bot should attach to your feet, damaging you (less than it currently does) and slowing you, but not obstructing your vision or your ability to ADS
    intel should snapshot position instead of following the player. That, or be on a minute cool down.
    these are my biggest gripes with the game. i think Mag barrier is a little strong but not in need of a nerf, instead I'd like to see the lesser used abilities buffed.

  • @jordanweyrauch
    @jordanweyrauch Před 6 dny

    Regarding the wall hack balance. I 100% agree. I honestly think they should increase the range and duration slightly but only have 1 pulse go out if that makes sense. It really feels like 3 pulses of it is wayyy to much time for the pace this game plays at and I really think it should be one of the more powerful abilities with a much longer cooldown time. Also 100% agree with the spider bot (god it is so annoying). They need to make the spider bigger and way easier to hit for starters. Second it shouldn’t even be doing damage if we are being honest. The amount of times I’ve been spiderbotted and gotten the kill only to watch my health drop by 2 ticks until I eventually die just feels off. I won the gunfight but I still lost? It wouldn’t be a problem if it didn’t happen all the time but when it’s literally every game where someone’s using spider bot it gets annoying. Also I know the cleaner passive has a similar concept but it’s slightly less op since we can actually still see our screen, aim, and move.

    Largely agree with everything you said, Ace. One other thing I'd add that they need to fix is player collisions. For some reason, player collisions are off for enemies but on for teammates, which just seems backwards.
    Also, not something I expect they can fix at this point, but: Domination on Mayday is absolutely broken. I've found that it is very easy to defend B if your team is spawning behind the plane (and very difficult to push B if you're spawning on the other side), so whichever team happens to start there almost always wins the match unless you can force a spawn flip

    Intel Suit can be fixed by either giving it a longer period before you can use it again (45 seconds instead of 30, for example), or you could leave it at 30 seconds but reduce the amount of pings it give (i think it gives 3, maybe test with 2, and if still too op, reduce to 1).

In an average game, pretty much any weapon or utility feels viable, and you're forced to adapt on the fly because you actually encounter diverse lobbies. Why on earth would I go back to CoD?

My last thing is I hope they put in hardcore for sure with having your abilities would be very fun to me but also change up hardcore in a way like to get a actual one-shot is to get a headshot and if you hit the body of the ones that had 100 health it takes 2 shots and one that has more health takes 3 shots or 4 I think that would be a good change for hardcore for this game.
