would you mind if I sit in to “cast” the match (local recording) just to practice for when the NDA lifts? I can even provide Splash damage with with a copy of the video?

if I get permission I will do it… if splash damage want to allow other beta testers to view the video thats a totally different matter :smiley:

(Mustang) #24

We used to do it last year when activity was a bit higher, devs even said they enjoyed watching them, they even put in a team one time, so hopefully won’t be an issue now.

(INF3RN0) #25

I don’t mind, c u there.

(INF3RN0) #26

Bumping. If you end up wanting to play after we’ve already started, just join the TS server and we’ll cycle you in to the next available spot.

(RasteRayzeR) #27

I’m in, add me to the list :slight_smile:

(BAMFana) #28

I can play. Got the flu and my throat is all kinds of ****ed up though, so I can’t use mic.

(titan) #29

good games today

feedback:
whitechapel is by far the best map right now it’s really good
first half of warterloo is way too claustrophobic
kiras aug needs a nerf
kiras ability melts the EV faster than anything when it’s not moving, is that supposed to happen? its really strong

fun games though

These were violent games lol

(chump) #31

Will you post a recording pixeltwitch?

GGs and WP to INF3RN0 for organizing. Not being able to talk was frustrating as hell, but that won’t be a problem if I participate next time at least.

One suggestion regarding team picks, in order to make teams on average as fair as possible: Add a double pick to reduce the advantage of picking first. The order should be something like this: Captain A picks 1 player -> Captain B picks 2 players -> Captain A picks 1 player -> Captain B picks 1 player -> and so on. I’ve seen variations of this system used and it works pretty well.

I agree that it’s the best map right now, but I don’t agree that it’s really good. I’ve never liked the mechanics of escoring the EV around and nothing’s changed to make it any better, regardless of which map it’s on. I hope we get some good maps that don’t use the EV soon.

If you’d switched teams and played against chump’s Thunder, you would’ve complained about that merc needing a nerf instead. The point is: It’s not the merc, it’s the player playing the merc that makes it “imbalanced”.

It’s also just about the only thing it’s useful for. I was surprised at how much damage it does though, it really melts the EV. I think the ability needs a complete rework. It shouldn’t be this powerful against the EV, but it shouldn’t be this useless at everything else either.

-well it’s good for an ev map, maybe ‘really good’ is too strong a compliment but given the current maps its atleast fun :stuck_out_tongue:

  • I played vs chumps fragger last week and didn’t say fragger needs a nerf :stuck_out_tongue: there’s a difference between a good player and a clearly overpowered character (not to say you aren’t good). Ofcourse good players will always be able to destroy with other mecs but kiras aug is just ridiculous its too powerful at every range
  • and ye agreed the ability needs a rework it doesn’t do anything
(BAMFana) #34

And yet chump was at 44/14 or something equally ridiculous on the first round of bridge_alt. I was never anywhere close to that amount of frags. Sorry man, but you’re off the mark here. I suggest you try playing Kira yourself, see how “overpowered” it is.

I’m getting bad flashbacks from what happened to Sparks a while back. I was pretty much the only one using her on a regular basis, but since I was doing well with it, and since playing against a good Sparks required players to play differently than they do against other mercs, people started complaining on the forums. So after a short while they nerfed her slightly and now she’s nearly worthless. RasteRayzeR trying to use her during the first round on Whitechapel is a good illustration, since he was almost useless. It felt like we were playing 4v5, but it wasn’t his fault at all, that merc is just unplayable now.

I have the vod If I can be given permission to post it by someone it would be appreciated :slight_smile:

(BAMFana) #36

I don’t think you need to worry about that, match recordings have been posted many times before. What’s important is that you make it private, no-one outside of this forum should be able to access it. It’s only a breach of the NDA if someone without closed beta access sees the footage.

(INF3RN0) #39

Sorry I was late, though was a particularly more difficult group to balance any way you cut it. Hopefully we get a bigger crowd next week.

I will go though the first map tomorrow and see if I can just get some highlights. I was having some technical issues. The first person would ahve been done more but I was having real dificualty seeing the names and the mini map does not work and it was on maps I had never played before. so I was just lost when ever I was in first… I had no idea if they where heading to the objectives or not :smiley: lol if they fix the hud I think it would be like 50/50 first person third person. but they also need to change the spawn system its a nightmare to cast as it is. (that was my first ever cast on any game ever by the way so take it easy :smiley: )
