I suspect you (still) worry way too much about what others think, and it looks to me like your KDR is a part of that due to me assuming you back out a lot and that I know the reasons why.

Oh, I never backed out before yesterday. Never never never. It's just got to the point where I no longer give a sh!t anymore though. I'm going to stop playing to be 'competitive' and start playing for entertainment only. If I'm not enjoying myself, I'm just gonna up and do something else, no fcks given.

Ask anyone in here and they'll tell you that when I rage, I rage seriously badly. Recently, I've been raging more and more frequently, probably because I've been playing not for entertainment, but to be 'competitive'.

Obviously, I won't back out if I'm leading a squad, and I never have. What's going to change though is my attitude. From now on, if I start raging, I'll just stop playing for a while. I'm also gonna try to avoid situations that I know will make me rage, mostly by backing out of rage-inducing matches whilst I'm solo.


I don't care if I get called a coward. The way that I've been playing up until now has definitely not been good for my health.

Who knows: with any luck, you all should be seeing a happier, sunnier Dreis around.

Instead of having separate playlists for each different game mode.

The problem I have with Ambush as the "safe zone" is that it does not help blueberries advance in the game. With no Objectives, and often maps that don't a play zone where you can really employ much tactics. There is a lack of direction in Ambush that just does not help new folks, and they would be stuck in it until they can meta their way out.

Really? Seems to me that anyone who's played a shooter will now how Team Deathmatch works.

Oh they will know how Ambush works it's pretty simple. It's the progression out of that that i think will be a problem, limiting them to ambush will not help them. It will be stomping noobs as soon as they try another mode

Gotcha. Jolly's idea is fundamentally sound though. We've a limited number of players, and we can't very well split them across 5 playmodes each further partitioned by meta cap.

Are you suggesting that Jolly's "safe zone" be a playmode other than Ambush?

Edit: I personally like the idea of low-Mu Ambush being the newbro training grounds. It is fast-paced and simple. Folks are less likely to get bored.

Thinking Acquisition may be the best Safe Zone. It has the elements of Skirmish (Objective taking), Map Access (Domination) Pacing (Ambush).

I think I need to quit editing my posts prior to your responses. Sorry, Llast :-)

I like it. The Academy teaches newbros how to play Domination. Acquisition is close enough to be familiar

If you weren't constantly editing your posts I'd think something was wrong
Edit: I've been around long enough to know I have to recheck your posts periodically

I think we may be on to some nice progression here.

Oh no. After all this time I find out I'm missing half the conversation!
