How's the events/new modes going? Every time something cool happens my illness are simply 'Nope.' Well its not like it doesn't happen all the time it just gets to me at times. Safe to say im frustrated.

thinking about myos....
should med frames have the same mobility as light frames?
Right now a med frame can achieve "3 myos gets you on top of container", wasn't it supposed to be achievable at max myo - light frame?

yeah I am butthurt :P

Not suggesting we split the playerbase. I'm suggesting we disallow squads from one queue. Scotty would serve to this "safe haven" evenly sided fights all day, every day. Players who'd otherwise logoff or take breaks (like me) would have somewhere to play when there's nothing but stomps to be found anywhere else.

I think it'd be a great way to slow burnout and keep players (especially casuals) active and in-game.

I would much rather see some effort put into figuring out why MM is creating poor experiences and resolve that.

IMO that's quite obvious:

-power difference between a noob and a vet is too big ( I have no idea how many times I have to stress this), what's more newbie players have 0 incentive to fight proto bears harder.
-newbies that get owned all the time while trying to make a difference and don't get rewarded back out to less useful roles(camping in some stupid places)/ start effin around.
-s#itload of bugs that are preventing normal gameplay - some people after 2 minutes of fighting with lag/fps drops/stupid bugs just DGAF anymore and try to have some fun (and spending 20 clones to hack a point, just for it to be hacked back 2 seconds later is nowhere near fun)
-THERE IS NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE PLAYING THE GAME
-THERE IS NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE PLAYING THE GAME
-THERE IS NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE PLAYING THE GAME (just in case someone missed it first 2 times..)

There's no magical way to create good matchmaking if you simply have not enough players that play with similar mindset.
Right now people that DGASF are playing with people who pump 2 mil ISK in every pub match..

I'd rather CCP worked on that ton of bugs that's preventing me shooting the other dude in the face, because right now it feels like im rolling d20 to know if I hit the other guy. How can you balance a match if a player can't be sure that his grenade won't bounce off invisible wall and explode in his face? Its just too random..

I really need a break from dust, getting bittervet syndrome lately

Oh and one more thing, some players if they can't get kdr >20 they'll leave the match instantly at the sight of slightest opposition, I feel we have a lot of this kind of cheap players ( have you noticed dust attracting very strange people? :P)

Did someone send a ticket regarding team/corp/etc chat not loading while in game? Or is it a "feature" ?
From what I understood team chat was supposed to load faster, not not load at all...

I'm trying to think about one thing that light frame does better than Minnie assault ;P

these anomaly matches are the best....you can play on certain map that is perfect for sniping, so i started sniping with the roden sniper rifle, killed an ak.0 sentinel with 1200+ armor in one shot (headshot) at 390 metres (MCC Sniping)....got several hatemail's from this one scout that i always nicked on the shoulder/leg

That's funny: I sent two hatemails to redline Thales' Snipers yesterday...

Not sure about squad/team/corp, but my understanding was that chat channels were disabled to free up memory.

They broke it while supposedly fixing it. Pretty dissapointing to see them so bad at coding that they need to turn it off to fix the issue.

I think this would split the playerbase. All casuals / soloists would play in this one queue - everyone else would play somewhere else. I think a detrimental effect would be casuals / soloists would be less likely to learn to fight against squads or in squads. Of course I agree with the positives but it's a hack to fix broken matchmaking. I would much rather see some effort put into figuring out why MM is creating poor experiences and resolve that. Although....maybe it would give the stomp squads harder opponents? And then that might slowly die out? I'm willing to try anything I guess...but reversing bad gameplay mechanics is soooo difficult for them to do it seems.

Will never be any better quality than as it is.
Blame isp.
Upload bitrate for me is 2 mbps
Go any higher and it'll end up buffering every few moments.

Fair points, Duncan. But if there were a "casual queue" and a "tough queue" -- and the tough queue paid on a keep-what-you-kill basis -- casuals could effectively farm stompers for Isk! The polar opposite of the present model!

I'm not telling you that, just was the longer livestreams videos. I like your channel and your vids. Whatever, ignore my commentary.

Questionable hit detection?

Holy **** that's me with a rifle.

I have a long weekend and am seriously considering hooking up the PS3 to my PC keyboard and mouse and seeing if I can't shoot straight with a Gal Assault and actually be useful......though it will feel dirty if it works.
