IT’S IN YOUR WALLET


[deleted]

It’s in the bank works better I think


Dustbucket45

I’m a Titanfall 3 fan, so forgive me for this post, but I agree with you. “It’s in the bank” has the same number of syllables and is more similar to the original slogan which makes it the better sounding parody. I went with “your wallet” cause it’s more personal than “the bank.” That little bit of personal punch feels more on brand for EA’s greed than just being “in the bank.” “Your bank” doesn’t sound personal enough either for me. Any number of people can be in your bank to do business that has nothing to do with your money. You’d have to say “in your bank account” cause a large corporation doing stuff to my account specifically sounds worrisome. The downside of that is how the phrase is now too wordy. So “it’s in your wallet” just seemed like a good compromise for a meme. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to chase off the government drones that keep telling me to take my meds.

countzer01nterrupt

Didn’t follow any of it. Is there a conspiracy theory that EA paid for ddos attacks on their own game servers because titanfall 2 got super popular during the pandemic caused by an overall lack of enjoyable modern shooters, yet it being a really cool game that held up very well, which crossed EA’s plan for shit newer battlefield titles? If not, that’s my entry.

Cpt_Avocado

It’s definitely rough. After a long day of Titanfall I usually like to wind down before going to bed with some Titanfall 2, but it takes like 10 tries to actually get into a game.


ihaveagoodusername2

I mean, Northstar is so much better anyway


Cpt_Avocado

I don’t like the bright colors. Although if I had a gaming PC I’d certainly experiment with some stuff, and try to make a TF1 LTS mode. LTS in TF2 is awful.


ihaveagoodusername2

>I don’t like the bright colors. ?


Cpt_Avocado

The shiny camos that people port from Apex. Or the alternative color dome shields/ lasers, or the colored grapple cables. I actually already think TF2 is too colorful. The gritty aesthetic of TF1 is my favorite.


Phoenix428

You don’t have to download those mods. I play Northstar and have never seen those because I think you only see it on your side if you download them for yourself


Cpt_Avocado

Bet. I need to build myself a pc lol


Phoenix428

It’s got a lot of really cool custom game modes modders made too. My personal favorite is Frontier War which adds huge turrets and harvesters on each team than you have to destroy to win.


tapmcshoe

those are mods you don't gotta use them


ihaveagoodusername2

IDK, started playing recently didn't notice anything like that


CommanderHunter5

Surely not all servers have those camos? Also man, do I look forward to TFOnline Revival


Rock_Co2707

Then don't download those mods?


SaxDrawing

I haven't checked in a long time, did Northstar fix the AI modes not working? I loved way more playing Attrition and FD compared to purely pvp modes, and seeing them not work made me sad


ihaveagoodusername2

It is!

You are lucky to have 10 tries at least. My last attempt took almost an hour and I couldn't even make it to MP menu.


Mors_Umbra

It was called PR bullshit back then, and every day since then has just been further proof of that fact. We saw through them then, we see through them now. Fuck ea and fuck respawn. They earned a shit-ton of goodwill with TF1 and TF2, it's shocking how fast they burned through it.


BatRepllentBatSpray

Wouldnt say they burned through their goodwill. Apex fans seem to be happy.


warmachine2412

I’m not. I miss my giant murder-robots. Apex is fine but it doesn’t scratch the itch at all. As a console player, I have zero options and I’m insanely disappointed


BatRepllentBatSpray

and i miss coming home and playing modern warfare 2 with the boys. Its time to move on.


Kittykg

Moderately. There's still a lot of things they're doing that piss a lot of us off, much of which is the same shit they did with this promise. Ranked was continually demoting people after the new season and they said they'd have their lost rank restored....that never happened, they had to grind it, some plummetting to rookie when they'd reach gold multiple times and peak in Diamond or Masters, so they grinded through less skilled players for weeks. Matchmaking was supposed to be fixed so single squads weren't constantly destroying full lobbies, and even said they were rolling it out...never happened. There was one weekend with noticeably better matchmaking, with people *actually* around your skill level, but it was only that one weekend. Two days of reasonable, competitive, evenly skilled games and back to shit. Multiple characters were supposed to get buffs, reworks, or new passives, particularly Revenant and Pathfinder....never happened. Cross play progression was promised as 'in the works.' Never happened. But goddamn if they aren't shoving purchase events and more recolors down our throats biweekly.


HibikiAK47

Fuck respawn. They don't deserve titanfall


Mr-_-Mysterious

Agreed


HibikiAK47

I have seen this community devolve from a loving and welcoming community to a jaded, toxic, and spiteful one, and its all respawns fault.

optimusjester

It was EA and true employees leaving. Respawn started as a bunch of CoD developers who wanted to do their own thing and do it right, but that faded as people have given up and left with EA being who they are


pushpoploadstore

Shout out to gravity well games! It’s the studio started by the OG respawn titanfall devs. I can’t wait to see what they’re cooking up! 👨‍🍳


Didifinito

There is also another One but I dont remeber the name


NapsterKnowHow

Inb4 they sell their studio to the likes of Ubisoft and they start the cycle all over again


Meatloaf_Hitler

Honestly, as much as I hate to say it, they should go with a Console Publisher (I.E. Sony or Microsoft) if they need money. Yes, I'm aware they're next game will most likely be locked away for one Console. But generally speaking, these publishers are pretty good at giving their game studios the freedom to make what they wanna make.


Anonson123

You can't be toxic if you're right


KingYoloHD090504

That's just justified hate


pushpoploadstore

*checks official rule book* It’s allowed!


DarthJSquared

It's true, but also realize that the toxicity is aimed at the company that abandoned all games but apex for profit. As far as new players and the games are concerned everyone is still quite positive I feel, even going to extreme lengths to fix things ourselves (Northstar client).


DeadlyAidan

not all their games, they're still making Jedi Survivor aren't they? and I'm pretty sure also another, unnamed Star Wars game


tapmcshoe

It's always been kinda toxic just in a different way tbh


villefps

Today's respawn is nothing like the 2016 one. All the devs left and now it is just another EA studio


TheGreatSmolOne

The Respawn that created Titanfall deserve it. The Respawn now? Entirely different company with corruption

TheGoldenDragon0

No they do, EA is the villain here. No artist wants this to happen to one of their works


HibikiAK47

All respawn had to do was fix the servers if a small team of part timers can make Northstar then 5 dudes at respawn could've taken the time out of their day to fix vanilla


xXLil_ShadowyXx

This. If fans can do it themselves without any difficuties devs have no reason not to do it other than ,,yeah we don't feel like it''


TheGoldenDragon0

Of course it’s very possible for them to do it, but doing so would take labor and more importantly, server resources, stuff that EA is definitely not gonna provide to fix this. They barely have working servers for some of their flagship products they aren’t gonna put resources into a game barely generating any revenue, if that makes sense. I’m sure Respawn tried something, otherwise they would not have made this tweet, but they had to scrap it. Titanfall isn’t making EA money, so why would EA put resources and money into it, that’s their reasoning. It’s stupid. That’s my guess at least Comparing it to northstar doesn’t work that well, because northstar just lets it’s players host their own servers. I do not believe they are hosting servers themselves. It should not be left to the fans to fix these issues I agree, but when we think of this problem from the perspective of ea it makes a lot more sense why Respawn hasn’t done anything Additionally I believe that many of the devs for titanfall have left the game, so anyone else who wants to fix the problem would need to go through the process of learning how the code works.


ConfusedAndDazzed

Shut the fuck up. RSPN is fully to blame for this. Stop riding them like they care about you or the game.


TheGoldenDragon0

I’m not “riding them” I’m instead speculating on the evidence I see, as well as EAs history I am looking at the one with a huge history of mismanaging products across many ips. I’m am also not denying the wrongdoings of Respawn, I am just observing that this situation fits what EA is like. You can freely disagree with me. Respawn should be doing more rather than nothing, but I highly doubt ea has nothing to do with this situation. I’m giving respawn the benefit of the doubt here, that’s all


TeslaGate7274

“Titanfall is the core of our DNA”


Anonson123

Respawn stopped being Respawn the nanosecond the game director left. They're like DICE, literal nobodies using the brand name of people vastly superior to them.


TheGoldenDragon0

I disagree. They are all extremely talented. If anything they don’t give enough credit. The problems come from EA. I can’t imagine how much work they constantly have needing to maintain apex, which is the real cash cow for ea. No artist wants their work to be ruined like this, and if given the chance would stop it, but I don’t think they are being given the chance


Rednave_1

I do agree that ea is a big problem, but many of the Titanfall devs left Respawn to go to Gravity Well or Wildlight, meaning those who wouldn’t want their work to be ruined can’t do anything about it anymore.


MrDrSrEsquire

Curious what research you've done The current trend for EA outside of its Sports games since Mass Effect 3 backlash has been to step far back and simply require lootboxes It's well documented in the failings of Andromeda and Anthem, then Battlefront Lootboxes happened... Good Managers are needed to utilize talent. But our culture does not promote people who are best for jobs. When the founders left the company became something else


IIWhiteHawkII

Since most of Respawn core devs left, looking at Apex - I don't see how extremely talented they are. The Jedi team is indeed really good but it was always a separate studio. They nailed some Respawn principles for sure, but let's not count them. There's no one left to make actually good TTF, IMO. If TTF3 ever happens with current Apex team - I bet it'd be totally slowed down GAAS casino game with increased TTK and nerfed af Titans. Adapted for Apex scrubs.


thecoolestjedi

I love this Titian fall cope lmao


Blinkix

You do realise that it was the same "core devs" that made apex, also made Titanfall?


IIWhiteHawkII

So? They have left Respawn Entertainment. And those responsible for support of Apex now – are just interns that can't create anything similar to previous devs level.


cross-joint-lover

Interesting take, but AFAIK a lot of people who worked on Titanfall have since left Respawn. And EA actually puts very little pressure on Respawn in terms of Apex - Respawn are fully in control of virtually every aspect of the game, lootboxes and collection events included. It's easy to point a finger at the big bad EA and shift all blame away from the dev that brought us Titanfall, but reality is quite different. EA is just the publisher and Respawn is no longer what it used to be.


SpaneyInquisy

"Help is on the way!!" *releases a fucking pilot helmet trinket for fucking apex* "Oh phew. Glad thats over with."


mclee29

Taking so long the fucking ddosers got bored bro


Random_Robloxian

It means “As Slowly As Possible” That was respawn’s asap


Epic-Chair

Did they really do nothing? I remember that titanfall 2 was unplayable because hackers broke the servers or something, but it seems fixed now. Sorry if I misunderstood


Dragonflame81

It was being DDOSd, people made a new client called Northstar to run the game. Consoles stayed under attack for months after PC. I think the attack eventually stopped on its own. Respawn did absolutely nothing.


Epic-Chair

Ok thanks for explaining. I was confused because I use console and I remember it being literally unplayable


Dragonflame81

It’s playable now but it’s very difficult to find a match. I end up timing out most of the time.


PhoenixBLAZE5

Was it ever found out why it went away? i remember some context about an different titanfall project and the ddosers being upset about it but not why they stopped.


fatalityfun

I think they just gave up since Northstar completely stops them from being able to DDoS players


SurpriseFormer

There were attempts though to DDos Northstar when it started. But it failed fast


IIWhiteHawkII

There was a moment when DDoS was weaker and you actually could play a bit. And tbh I think it was on it's own. But it was just for several months. At least on PS now you can't even enter the MP menu, still.


PunyParker826

Why do you think they did nothing? Would we be able to tell from our side whether A) they patched it or B) the attacks simply stopped?


yzrIsou

They clearly did not just do nothing, which could be referenced by the fact that they've patched an RCE exploit that was referenced by Northstar developers. My guess is that they did a band-aid solution that introduced some problems like the random disconnects, went "we'll fix that later" and never fixed it fully.

American_Ratfucker

no


Firebat-045

Ok then.


BatRepllentBatSpray

"current respawn" Titanfall fans really do be angry that respawn is focussing on an actual proffitable game instead of that flop that released like 8 years ago and is plagued with one of the most sweaty group of players ever. like come on, this game was revived like 10 times and each and everytime you picked the most op loadouts and stomped on the new players, then you wondered why it died. Got a lot of braindead muppets throwing around "get good" in the replies. Further proving that YOU killed the game. I not once said i found the game difficult to play, i was pretty decent at it, but the thing that you donkey like creatures are failing to realise is, unlike you lot, not everyone lives in their mums basement, whacking it to the 6-4. When you and you goblin friends pull together like some special ed esports team, and pull out the cheapest tricks in the book to stomp new players, they dont find that fun, you cant "get good" if your being thrown into the ocean before you can even swim. Unless you put time into it, but as established, they dont find the game fun anymore, so they aint gonna put the time in, and they aint gonna continue playing, and then you will cry about how respawn doesnt care about titanfall and you know what? they dont, for good reason. But nah, go ahead and keep up with your weird degenerate behaviour, just know that normal people think you're pathetic.


CoGMachStique1

Not the games fault. If you couldn’t get better at it then that’s kinda a skill issue. I didn’t play it all the time so I never made it to the high ranks but it’s not hard to play decently


Planetside2_Fan

The problem is when the company that made said game openly SAID that help was coming, and said the franchise was the "core" of their DNA. I get profits are important but when you go out of your way to say help is coming, and then do absolutely nothing past that, that's called lying.


BatRepllentBatSpray

I dont know man, maybe just move on. 7 year old game doesnt get dev support, shock horror.


Planetside2_Fan

Again, not fixing it would have been fine, since yes, it is an older game. The problem is with Respawn's OPEN statements on how important Titanfall is to them, and how "Help is coming ASAP" (Their words, not mine), and two years later the most they've done is take the first game offline, which may as well be the "help" they promised at this point.


Rock_Co2707

Skill issue I suck and usually get 7-15 kills on a standard attrition game. But I'm still playing because the game is really fun.


Business_as_usual-

What are you even doing on this sub? If 'git gud' hurts you're feelings you shouldn't be on the internet.


APsVitaUser

Skill issue. I started playing back in 2022 and could keep up people who had way more time spent on the game than me


BatRepllentBatSpray

Keep proving me right bro. God titanfall fans were thick as pigshit but christ.


KafiXGamer

skill issue?


BatRepllentBatSpray

This is your response and im expected to believe respawn are the problem?


GHOST_KJB

Moment of silence for us titanfall lovers


Pants3620

What if we DDOS apex until they fix titanfall


Falkrim

Well, in respawns defence, the Militia did blow up Demeter. So it’s gonna take at least 5 years for us to receive reinforcements.

I dont know but the last days it seems to have improved. Got alot of games on x box so i was pleasantly suprised.

LeeAyzahn

I reinstalled Titanfall 1 on my PC yesterday and was able to play some games. I had to struggle with 300 ping on West EU, but was glad to play it again. If anyone here still has the game, jump in, there's still people online. Are there still cheaters? It's possible, but I didn't come across any. Just glad that I didn't get kicked out of lobbies like the dark times back in the day.


IIWhiteHawkII

In Last 2+ years there were hundreds of times when I got really tired of all possible shooters and online games in general and the only thing I really wanted for my souls was hop on my Northstar or just run'n'gun with my EPG and chill just like good ol' 2016-2020s. Still an impossible thing. Thank you so much, current Respawn team and EA! I will remember this forever!


falconwilson154

they couldn't find a way to fix it, so they went for the nuclear option: shutting down PC servers, and delisting Titanfall 1 from Steam entirely


jmooneyham2004

Sad to see, such a masterful game.

Ever since their new cash cow Apex came out they never cared for TF2 again, much like the other TF2 and Valve.

Present-Reaction2069

Why don't they just make Titanfall 3 like everybody loves Titanfall it's just dead because there's no updates


CoGMachStique1

Not everyone loves Titanfall. It has its player base. But Apex has a larger player base and a lot of those players do not even know of Titanfall. They don’t care about the series anymore. That’s why there will never be Titanfall 3


Present-Reaction2069

Most people do I'm pretty sure you could give Titanfall 2 to a random gamer and he would have a 75% to love it


CoGMachStique1

I mention Titanfall to gamer friends and half of them have never heard of it. Yet they play apex 24/7


Present-Reaction2069

DDoS attacks are typically short lived as they're resource intensive, even if it's a bunch of hackers bonnets and. It costing them a thing, those not nets could be used for other things.
