Did you seriously just post that? It's free. Hard drive space isn't at such a premium nowadays that your point becomes anything more than just laziness.

Please be more specific. "Lag" can refer to bad server latency or bad frames per second.

LTL is only doable if you decide you don't want to win. Your new goal is get one arrest a match. That is your goal with less than lethal. You will not win so lower your sights.

Hey now, when I used to play we would get rounds with like 40+ arrests and more VoIP hilarity than you can shake a stick at. We did of course use shady matchmaking techniques to achieve our goals but we don't talk about that.

The PMG used to have better recoil control and less accuracy bloom. However, that made it a death laser, so they nerfed it into the ground (its current state).

It warns about playing on an east coast server when you are on the west coast in the server selection screen. Am I really going to be at a disadvantage if I play with you guys on Joker? Let me rephrase that: Am I going to be at even more of a disadvantage playing with you goons with the difference in ping?

I played on Joker from New Mexico and didn't notice any lag issues. YMMV

All completely inadvertently.

FirstPersonShitter posted:

The whisper is bullshit though, its effective range is far too long despite the fact that you can trump it with a slotted OCA.

This has a lot to do with the whisper being an entirely different gun from the OCA, despite having functionally similar stats. The difference between seeing a muzzle flash and hearing the muzzle report on an OCA and having neither of those on the whisper makes it feel like an entirely different gun. I've used both guns extensively and the difference is staggering. This is the exact same effect with the Joker CR-5. Despite having identical stats to the N-TEC, the perceptive placebo kicks in and the player uses it differently. I do much better with the CR-5 than I did with the N-tec. And I do well with an N-TEC.

Man, it really amazes me how many gold players are awful at this game. Just got out of a game where I was like 20-7-6 and the person below me had like 1/4th of that, 4 golds vs 2 golds and 2 silvers and we lost. How do these people get to gold even? It's not like I was just going for kills either, I got most of those defending a point.

I'm not especially great at the game but it won't let me threat down from gold no matter how much I lose. I would blame the system rather than the people.

After asking 10 people to invite me to the clan, half of them saying they would, and after telling them I made an FYOD, could somebody PLEASE invite me tomorrow? I did everything required, please, I need a clan to play with.

Hello there, forums poster "Dreaming"! The users you contacted in-game were not members of our Illustrious Five. These Five are the guiding hand of Something Lawful, and make the final decision on who is and is not permitted to join our order. I am the one through whom they speak, and since I was unable to contact you in-game, I will deliver their message here.

Your introduction post was seriously considered by the Illustrious Five and they have concluded that you will need to take a picture of yourself standing with your feet in a toilet whilst holding a piece of paper with your username written legibly; this is to ensure the authenticity of the photograph.

The Illustrious Five expect that all of our members can exhibit a standard of humility that is a cut above the rest. Your introduction suggested that you lack this, and the act of posting such a picture here on Something Awful Dot Com would surely prove otherwise.

Please private message this image to me or if you lack the Platinum forums upgrade, you can simply post the image in a new thread in our General Bullshit forum.

Sorry for trashing this thread up with G1 tech support questions but has anyone encountered the above problem? I've exauhsted every route I can think of to no avail.

Have you actually tried routing his traffic through a proxy to at least see if that fixes it? Could help narrow down the problem.

Also, this game is still very buggy (despite all of G1's improvements); and as such, many people ask for technical help in this thread. No need to apologize.

He's really full of himself. He rabidly replied to my post (that described his work as 'junk') with some really arrogant language. Accusing me of 'judging' him, that I have 'the least skill in creativity,' that he is 'better' than me, and that I am 'jealous' of him.

We get that you don't like APB. Thanks for sharing (again). How about instead of threadshitting, you just follow the example of a bunch of people and stop playing? They can do whatever the gently caress they want with their game, and if you think they aren't doing it right, no one is forcing you to play.
