its ftw knowing some level designer spent days trying to make the most visually interesting map possible and you have never seen any of it because the first thing you put in your autoexec is r_picmip 10 then happily fly around brown and grey rooms

yeah it looks fine but anything is going to look 'busy' compared to completely flat brown+grey walls with bright green characters

Levels look better and more timeless with r_picmip 8. It's simple math.

I didn't know about picmip as a kid and I probably sent thousands of rails and rockets into the breathing torso dudes that are on some of the hell maps

Their saying the Public Test Server's changes is that everyone has the same HP but different armor... Might be epic, if it means there's a reason to play Anarki.

It's badass that on ZTN the old russian players don't bother picking the character that has a wallhack ability.

good i hate hitting an lg for 10 seconds straight and not killing a newly spawned guy.

Actually it seems like it certainly means Anarki might be kind of good since he can increase his max HP over a match. Still probably not great for duel since the round's only 5 minutes but maybe for other modes.

:staredog: WTF. Did they also make the max HP overheal to 200 again. Well now they just need to make a duel mode that isn't whack smash bros lifes poo poo...

Wormskull
Aug 23, 2009

Well actually it looks like its +50 over the spawn 125 overheal... but that's better than the just 50 HP it was IMO.

Now he has to pick up armor to be a badass. :bubblewoop: On the PTS anyway.

Might be a setting Cooler changed but it looked like maybe they took the timers off the items in duel. I think having the timers is wack... Means you can see from a mile away if you lost track of the times and all the risk management goes in the toilet.

I would reinstall this if those changes are real. Hopefully the relative complete failure of anyone to give give a poo poo about this game in a grand sense means they'll do the smart thing and just tune it to the Quake junkies who wanted it to be Q3A2 in the first place.

this games a good time but the balance issues are so obvious even to me, a newbie, and even everything outside the game like the menu UIs and connecting to matches is a complete mess

i remember playing with IT and he said something to the effect of "I just hate how much time you spend outside the actual game, sometimes you just wanna hop in a server and shoot people for an hour" theres like 6 minutes of loading and wait times and queues and bullshit between every 10 minute match, its ridiculous lol

I doubt the downtime will ever change. I’m sure it’s atill in SFV, which is what I hate the most about that as well. Developers don’t want people to play the game.

I hate that this game does the overwatch thing where it assuages my stats to try and coddle me into buying cosmetics. I need to see what my K/D and accuracy are per weapon to figure out how to improve you jackasses!
