I applied as Crazy_FerretSA. Been meaning to play with Goons for a bit now and have every intention of catching a few bullets for ya'll

Late night Friday and most of Saturday evening I'm going to try to be on and record some games, so prime bullet/complaint catching time.

Like JFC said, Mumble up and watch me and others slide into drunken slumber over the course of several hours.

Just a reminder to all of you joining up to [KUMT], we use mumble and most likely won't recognize who you are or why you should be in the Platoon unless you get in there. Here's details: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3796734

Join the mumble and type a message that you are listening to us but don't have a mic on. As long as you can respond to us in game chat or the occasional "yes I'm still here" in mumble chat you'll be fine. If you can't coordinate attacks with us there is really no reason to be in the platoon and play with us.

Loving the typical DICE bs that made me have to google how to access the platoon system because the patch notes say nothing and there's no menu in game. It's in the phone app I've never installed or wanted to.


EDIT: Oh I just found the small unlabeled button in game, great design.

For the hellriegel defensive challenge, could you just plant AT mines and shoot them when enemies are near? I think I've gotten like 10 vehicle kills total from them and I'm level 90... Fuuck

No. A fair few of my 10-A shotgun kills are from setting off mines with it. You can throw AT or frag nades in front of a mine so the mine detonates and claims kill credit though. Another trick is to place mines on top of flag spawn locations, like F and A on Sinai or St Quentin. Amiens and Fao have very predictable tank routes too.

300 kills is just silly, everything should be unlocked with war bonds.

I have a webcam bought from a flea market hooked up, plus some old headphones. I just tell mumble to pick up audio from the webcam, do push-to-talk and it's all good and ready to go for some hot WWI action, no headset required.

We had some weird rubber banding happening last night, but it wasn't terrible.

A lot of the complaints are coming from people with 100+ pings. The new netcode settings have upset a lot of people who play outside of their own region.

They made it so if you are ping gets high enough you are switched from client to server side hit detection.

https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield_live/comments/67x3rj/the_latency_restriction_is_game_breaking/

A dice dev made some comments about the changes. The hostility is great.
Players in SEA saying that they played fine with 280+ pings to West Coast servers before the patch, but that the changes make it impossible to reliably hit people now. A few comments comparing Dice to Trump. And a few more placing the blame on casual players that need to be protected from superior high ping players from Asia.

The funniest part is the devs acting like idiots and essentially telling people to get better internet or play with local players when they can despite knowing some areas have no local servers and low player counts. Like, they are so incredibly smug about it you can't help but laugh.

I live in Alaska, so my "home" region I guess is US West, which means 80-90 ping, US East is 120 ping. I've never had people in game call me a laggy rear end in a top hat when at 120 ping, but according to DICE I am and apparently shouldn't play outside Alaska on all those official servers they host here :rolleyes:

Guess I won't be playing with goons at all since US East is the preferred area, and I'll be on server side hit detection.

120 ping should be ok. Allegedly it only kicks in at >200.

That Reddit link and the patch notes state 100 ping is the threshold for transition to server side detection.
