Der Shovel posted:Oh wow, after taking the summer off I went back to play a couple of rounds of SMNC the other night and there were 22 players in the queue in Europe. Is this a bug or is the game just stone cold dead over here? Looked like there were hundreds playing on US servers. It's been this way. Many Euros just refuse to queue in Europe. Probably because it's harder to find games, but it's just this catch-22 now.

Euros became big babies with their several hundred people playing in the server (more than enough to get games) and decided to queue in America. Now they refuse to go back because nobody is on their servers. Good job Euros.

I came back after like 3 weeks (just as blitz was announced), and have a few questions: Did they nerf drops? I played 5-6 games and got nothing, usually each day I'd get an item in the second or third game. Also did they unnerf missle speed? It seems like its back to its old inescapable self. Oh and does anyone know what happened to my Flying Dinos for vet? They appeared a few weeks ago (I assumed because I hit the 1k kill marker or something) and now that weapon is just gone

Also,as for drops I do not know if they were nerfed, but it's based on in match time total not amount of matches I believe. No idea regarding your Dino Launcher, it's not in your inventory list? You have to switch weapons in Customize, not the Gear Up for costumes screen incidentally (or I guess the weapon select at match start). After 5 or 6 supercross matches though I would have expected SOMETHING to drop, even if they were all super short matches. As for missile speed, they "nerfed" missile TURN speed... But if anything it feels like the missiles track you BETTER now. (leap down from top platforms on Gun Mountain to anni, cut across anni and go to jungle, double back the other way... Still hit by missile that somehow has not crashed into anything). It seems that lowering their turn speed a bit means they delay just enough to not slam into walls you hide behind, and instead wait juuust long enough to 90 degree turn around it and hit you. You can't really tell it was nerfed though. With the Lock on width nerf (that would have helped tank, so of course they didn't do it to tank), you can lock onto a guy with Gunner, pull a 180, fire a missile. As long as your aim isn't tilted downwards any it will instantly U turn over your shoulder and hit your target without even looking at them. I am a terrible gunner, and I hardly play them. But every time I do, I pull that bullshit just for the screams

If you didn't buy your Flying dinos then you got it by accident, and it has been removed. A bunch of people randomly got dinos when they came out, and have since lost them.

Are they ever going to fix bacon and ultra endorsements having the wrong sub stat icons? I mean they are like 10 patches in and haven't fixed a simple graphic UI change. It makes me think that they don't even investigate what is wrong in their game or that they just don't care about improving it.

Uber abandoned MNC twice and SMNC has been a storm of retarded decisions and and one wonders if even they know what they want to do given the nature of nerfs, buffs then nerfs again, not to mention the constant stream of cosmetic crap. I wouldn't trust them with poo poo, much less 900k but it seems they're going to meet their goal so I guess we'll see.

a cock shaped fruit posted:"Dodge this."  To be fair, he was "in the air" in the sense of "Flying between the high platforms on gun mountain, slightly below me". I would have had to TRY to miss that kind of shot. Though it felt much more practical as a 'finish the tank before he finishes you' move... That poor tank, every single Death Blossom was a grapple on him

I'm starting to 'get' Beth a little more now: She is really reliant on her team to take the attention away from her shenanigans. If the enemy team is full of commando-ish gank squads it hard to perform since I have to be extremely weary and pocket my StM to have a chance of getting away.

So I decided to give Vet another shot on Grenade. Ugh. Mouse spent most of the match by our base, or deployed in our base. Bitching about the rest of the team being terrible and saying such gems as "Gunners are not assault, Gunners push. you ever play gunner?" while deplpoyed in our base. And "You're welcome for pushing" When they followed me far enough behind that I had killed all the bots before they fired a single bullet up to enemy moneyball. (And then spent a full 30 seconds typing up trash talk that I should die less before telling him what to do, instead of shooting the rocket turrets or shooting the spark I was fending off while hawking said turrets). Bonus: first 3/4 of the match my Vet had more bot kills than the Gunner, a Leo, AND a Megabeth. And only ended rivaling the Leo and beth  Level gaps suck. I nailed a klaw then all three of my grapples on the Cheston when they were all of two levels higher than me, still didn't kill them. Not in shot, but after our Beth said they were new to game so couldn't really pas judgment. I told them they did just fine. "Helping 7/16 KD ratio" Dissconect. I guess 7/16/12 with 135 Bot kills is worse, because I died 6 times more than the 3/10/7 80 Bot kills Gunner who didn't know how to fire missiles

There's some fun drama going on in the SMNC forums on how the community manager, mimneotic, basically ruined a community event by queueing with a bunch of good people for the sole purpose of stomping five man teams which were basically made up of randoms and then proceeded to make fun of everyone he played against and call them baddies when in reality he just had a super coordinated death squad set up. Not sure public smack talk and purposefully stomping a community event to the point where nobody wants to host it again is in the spirit of being a community manager!

He isn't the community manager, he just posts so much that he has more of a face than most people at Uber. But yeah it's hilariously lovely that they went out of their way to destroy people trying to revive the 5 man queue.

Plus I'm apparently getting recognized in Solo Queue more. Serious was a Feeder spark in the previous match against me, My Wascot vs their Sin+Spark combo came out on top because most of the match they worked alone. On match start I told them I believed in him, and he did good this time around  They grow up so fast. He pushed the last anni button and everything. Today also marks a record for 'times I've killed somebody with Wascot/Vet and have them ragequit' at 5 times. I can understand ragequitting from the Spanked to death, Worm Taunt Wascot Combo. But Gunners ragequitting over their slam being flown over and Bar Stooled to death? A bit more strange. EDIT: I just love Bullet. It's my comfort zone map. And the Anni fight is the most manly of Anni fights. No gimmicks, no pits, just carnage.
