Autobalance needs work. Friend and I played a Missle Assault game. It was a 2v2, not even a minute after the start I get autobalanced and it turns into a 1v3. Next game it was a 2v3, friend and I on the 3. It autobalanced, again, I got thrown on the other team. They seem to have no intent to keep parties together at all. Considering that, if the parties get split up so often, why do they put a max size on matchmaking? I mean, they'll just split parties up anyway.

Floppychop posted:Autobalance needs work. I have been seeing a lot of the opposite happening as well. Parties join up and suddenly it has gone from 3Vs3 to 3vs6, and stays that way without autobalance or F8 volunterring functioning, until someone joins long enough to turn it into 4 vs 6 ten minutes later, then autobalance finally kicks in too little too late. Wowie zowie it's 4 vs 5 instead of 3 vs 6. Same case for 2 vs 2 turning into 2 vs 4 the entire match. People leave in disgust, next match starts 2 vs 2, then once again becomes 2 vs 4 without autobalance kicking in because of course it gives the team with the duo more people. Yes, it is a bitch when it breaks up a party and then they have to reform it. But I wish it split parties more often instead of it completely shattering the autobalance to the point of fighting a team twice or half your size, and no matter how much people hit F8 sorry guys, you can't try to help and join the small team. Murphys law, if Goons are trying to team up it will split you. If you are playing solo, you will have three match servers in as many hours where somebody else's party completely breaks autobalance over it's knee and they get to enjoy a nice 3 vs 6 stomping with nothing anybody can do about it but leave and try to find a less hosed server. Tl;DR: Autobalance is completely hosed regarding parties, but it is completely hosed in both extremes. Flip flopping between constantly forcing parties to reform, or disabling autobalance entirely and letting parties enjoy a nice 3 vs 6 match safe from any form of team size balancing. EDIT: vvv I'm optimistic the Devs will fix things eventually, but the wording of the patch notes does not give the impression this pass is it for preventing 3 vs 6 with no team size fixing. Especially with wording like "Only Volunteers can or will be teamswitched after 50% match completion". But hey, at least parties will be split less often

God siege 2.0 really needs to come out  After playing for a while its just all starting to blend together. Yeah, you can do SOME cool stuff in siege (defensive launches, getting your eu to 20 or so while they're in the air, intercepting them on the way back to steal their eu) but 10 times out of ten theres no loving point. You plop 3 dudes on the AA and have 3 dudes run EU and THATS IT. Ships up? Get on AA! Enemy ship is up? AA! Don't know what do to? Get on the loving AA! I really didn't want to see it as glorified KOTH like so many people have said it is, but it just is. Really wish they found (second thing) for Siege, but I don't know if it would have had any difference. The mode needs to be completely scrapped and redone, which is a shame because its a neat concept. MA isn't much better, you just play loving musical chairs until someone wins. If you try to defend you just get a deathball to the face. TDM and DM are boring poo poo, but they're always going to be boring poo poo because TDM and DM are boring in every game. Matchmaking needs a facelift too. I don't know how it puts people on teams, but it doesn't do it well. Especially since I'm a team player, if I have idiots on my team I'm going to do poorly. The game's matchmaking is designed for pubstompers, basically. Maybe its because I have a high MMR, the game thinks it needs to dump retards on my team? Two above average dudes are going to do better than a "high level" dude and an average dude. Raider definitely did not need a buff, and I'm going to keep saying that forever because it was a stupid decision. Hellfires, as much as I love them thematically, are dirt loving horrible. No, dirt is more useful than the hellfires right now. All the maps are designed to funnel you into either hallways, which will neuter hellfires if your enemy desides to dodge to the side, or tight corners, and close combat, where literally every other secondary does better. The amount of redbeam Technicians I've been killed by is astounding. I don't buy the idea that they're powerful at low levels. If you don't curve them just right in any given situation, you don't do any damage! On top of that, you can have a perfect shot lined up and some of them will graze a root or a truck or a stray pebble and you lose half the damage on them. On top of that, you need to perfect your positioning! Different parts of the map force you to turn like, 5 different angles, and 9/10 times straight on will miss the target. Dumbfires don't move fast enough or do enough damage, so they're basically just like throwing a handful of pebbles at someone. Know whats good for a noobie to use? The TOW! Its simple, has a nice big splash, great damage, you can blow it up whenever you want, and generally goes in a straight line. Oh, and you can shoot around corners with it. GL is great too, because its the same loving thing but with a tiny arc on it. And you can use to to bounce off of walls and shoot people behind cover. And if you're going for area control, why not just use a Sabot mech? Huge damage hitscan weapons literally can not be a bad idea in a game with huge targets and slow movements. After assault Sharpshooter may be the easiest to use, its pretty much just a point and click adventure, only everyone hates you after. Technician was another huge loving mistake to add (at least in its current iteration) because you can just sit behind a Turret mode and everyone shooting it or you (if you can utilize cover) and everyone shooting you will overheat or die  It might be OK if they gave it some kind of resource on the healing other than heat, because if you have an incinerator near you, you can heal a bonkers amount.Wow that post got big. I kinda just had to rage a bit I suppose, and the main forums don't let me swear. I didn't even do that poorly tonight, but I kinda flipped after a raider CHARGED INTO MY BASE AND KILLED ME ON MY RAMP WHERE I WAS REPAIRING.

Welp, i just ran into my first hacker during a DM round. Speedhack, aimbot, and probably some high-damage hack considering how quickly he killed people. He was really loving poo poo up. So obviously, everyone on the server formed an impromptu alliance to group up and hunt him down and kill him, and he spent the rest of the round running away and hiding. I even managed to kill him once.

Mother FUCKER. Another previously close match turned into a joke of a stomp because a party joining completely hosed the balancer and stuck us with 4 vs 6 for seven minutes, when a two man party joined a previously 4 vs 4. Party starts going "Nah man, me and my pal win 2 vs 3 all the time" because that is totally the same difference, obviously. At least some of the non party enemies were TRYING to F8 their way onto our team, but of course it didn't do anything. With the latest patch notes talking about breaking up parties or causing autobalance even less, instead of more, I only see this happening more often than the previous "Feels like every third match". Kills my desired to keep playing and just take a break during a session more than any bad teammates or losing streak ever would. Because it is unquestionably bullshit when you get shoved into a 4 vs 6 or 3 vs 6 with nothing anybody can do about it but pray it takes longer than several minutes for more players to join the smaller team, and not leave.

If they really want to make things interesting, they could always go the route of locking players into a server for that round. Sure you can leave, but you can't join any other games until that one is over. The game REALLY needs map/mode votes at the end of rounds, though. Or playlists.

It also needs more hc for losing (and arguably winning) as well as a stacking hc boost while staying in a lobby. They'd need to do a rotating game mode option though E: IVE DONE IT AGAIN!

Is the Assault G2 worth spending time on levelling the Assault? It looks pretty fun to walk around with two chainguns, but i hear it's kinda underpowered, but that doesn't stop enemy G2s from tearing me a new one every time i meet them. Is it worth the time and HC?

Because when the enemy team has one or two Rocketeers on it, they will of course complain about that one Bruiser shooting them with Hellfires while their rocketeers blow my berserker out of the sky by the AA without the slightest trace of self awareness. Any attempts to point this out by the entire team are simply met with "Why is it okay for YOU to complain about hellfires?"  Still, what possessed you to Rank 6 four separate Bruisers, and what even caused you to HAVE four separate bruisers  EDIT: Also oh god why is my ping 160-180 instead of 40 today no wonder things feel slightly off.

I was thinking, shouldn't popping cloak break lock-on? It doesn't seem to make a lot of sense that it doesn't currently and it would give the Infiltrator/Predator more defined roles as Hellfire hunters(along with a Hellfire parry).

It also makes a huge difference to have the air dodge and at least one burst-damage internal for when you need it.

I didn't know the G2 was free. It says that you unlock the ability to buy it with HC once you max out a regular Assault, so i figured i'd still have to pay. Guess i'll hope for another double EXP weekend soon then, because holy poo poo is it slow to get a mech to level 6 without any boosts.

I was holding off on trying it because I could have sworn it wasn't fre- *Turns on Game* Welp. It would still cost me 12,816 HC, or 1,440 MC to get it according to the purchase screen. I don't particularly feel like "testing" if it would only cost me zero when I buy the thing, since I got weapon bills to pay on all the mechs I already own and want to keep trying. Freak Futanari posted:I didn't know the G2 was free. It says that you unlock the ability to buy it with HC once you max out a regular Assault, so i figured i'd still have to pay. Yeah my Recruit clocked in juuuust at 15 hours to hit rank 6, which is about how long it's taken me to rank 6 on Assault and Infiltrator with no boosts. For comparison, it took like, 9 hours to rank 5 it. That final rank is murder, especially with almost nothing to show for it on your mech itself. Rank 5, last Elite part and last weapon unlock. Rank 6, a Camo pattern you can't use on your Elite parts. And the fact all your Exp now goes into the global pool to pay cash to transfer if you feel like it.

Sorry if that was bad info about the G2 being a free unlock, it's been some time since I did that myself. Other points about it being a "just funnin" mech still stand though. Definitely better to spend that HC on other weapons/internals/mechs first.

Global Camouflage means I guess I will finally be buying that Pixel Tan I've been eying. Unless, as one of the cheapest Camos I have exactly enough points leftover to buy, they increase it. Murphy's Law of microtransactions and all that But why can't we paint our elite parts yet?  I am assuming it is because outside of the Recruit, every single Elite Part is just a reskin so they are probably stored as camouflage files or something.As for Berserker, having had a complete blast up to rank 5 in mine (And my first Quintuple Domination  Thanks Air Compressor dodging behind walls at the last second!) I doubt a mere 10 HP loss is going to hider my enjoyment. Same for the Assault, which still leaves it with the most Hitpoints of any B class, outside the G2 (which is still 585?). See also, still gonna love my SMC just for it's range comfort zone.Now, heavy mech wise it is the TURN speed that's been getting me killed (and sending my mouse hurtling off the mouse pad in pathetic attempts to aim at a dodging scout up close), not their Hitpoints or run speed. But I'm not going to say no to more go fast, Vanguard already feels too fat to me so I can only imagine my pain trying out Brawler or Grenadier. I am actually somewhat worried about the buff to turret mode surviability, because it seems the only players who spend a ton of time in turret mode are the ones who just hang back from the AA and never go on it themselves unless there is zero risk. Even if they are a Flak Brawler  Seriously, I'm getting into matches where the Sharpshooters and Reapers on either team spend way more time on the AA than the C classes do. Let's see... A Rocketeer, an Incinerator, and a Brawler. They are all hanging back from the AA on the ramp by spawn on Wreckage again, and screaming at their team's Infiltrators and Technicians to take the AA from all two of us standing on it behind the Silo. Welp! Thanks for the easy win guys-oh gently caress now they are on my team next match
