My first match in a couple of weeks. Not sure what I was thinking, running on a small ledge while fighting a Bastion with a Matriarch stomping around. My reflexes failed me

@neogunhero I give you 8/10 for dive

Lol, not the smartest rush from those guys. They had the better position, but decided to remove that from the equation.

Need to take some screenshots, but that new Cinematic graphics quality is so nice. It really gave a boost to textures, they look a little muddied and blurry on Epic now. It did take a hit to frames though, so I've turned off the ray tracing reflections and its now super smooth.

Cold Snap is okay, not as hard as I figured it was going to be. You can stay out in the cold for longer than I was expecting before taking damage, though it's only like two minutes or so. I also really like how the snowy maps look.

I believe the matchmaking rumors, I really think they do stick you with like-minded raiders. I've killed maybe a total of 2 or 3 players in the 25 hours I've put in this game, so barely any at all. I always run into nice players, this guy yesterday even gave me a free blueprint for an Osprey rifle. It was his Christmas gift he said.

I read somewhere that matchmaking for this game looks at how you play the game, so if you kill a lot of people, you will be more prone to get put in lobbies with like-minded individuals.

It does seem to be a factor, but it's unclear how big of a factor it is.

So, I learned the hard way that Hatch Keys only keep the hatch open for a short period of time. When you use it, you gotta get in quickly. I accidentally locked myself out of a hatch then had to run to the nearest elevator and uh, this happened

Embark leading by a great example here. Wish every developer did this more often. 1k coins is generous imo.

With the raider tokens I already have, I can pick any of the skins for free, so that is a big Christmas gift!

My gift came in the form of the increased amount of blueprints being dropped. Think ive add like 10 items over the last 2 days lol
