Was the devotion nerf included with this patch? I was going to switch to something else this morning, but forgot, and I'm still wrecking poo poo with it.

Apparently it's pretty mild and the gun is still more than usable

discworld is all I read posted:

Yeah, the devotion nerfs are in there and also there were hemlok nerfs that went out, so that a single burst to the chest won't kill a pilot.

I don't think the hemlock one is there yet?

I need to get used to live fire, the larger of the two maps which HUUUUUUUGE amounts of vertical doesn't actually get used vertically from what I've seen so far. One end when you bear left from the start has a dead end up top where you can wall run forever and just rain grenadier death down on fools because no fucker looks directly up.

Also the Daft Punk banner you get in that mode is rad.

Hello xbone players. Are you having sound issues? Since the patch I can play 2-3 games and then sound goes to near silent, the guns sound like ' tick tick tick '. Dropping to the main xbone screen and sound is fine but TF2 must be restarted.

Yeah it works better now for sure! It now just picks a random playlist from your selected set, and then queues you with everyone else playing that playlist instead of making a completely segregated Mixtape playlist.


Also I ended up grinding Colosseum last night for Advocate's gifts. Turns out my new pro strat is to just bumrush the enemy while spewing grenades.

That was great - you really can get away with some nonsense in this mode. I just did something similar on Stacks: won a 4v1 by putting a pilot sentry on the ground facing into the tunnel chokepoint on the left side of the map, and hiding way up in the top corner above the tunnel.

It was a kind of a dick move, but I won, so :shrug:

I love watching pubbies assume the best way to survive is by huddling up together and moving as a pack.

When they're not on my team, anyway, because one good grenade gives you a nice chunky lead early on :v:. And yet they'll still form up again afterwards like some kind of idiot Voltron, forming not a burning sword but a burning hole in the ground from the first Tick, Grenade, or explosive to hit them.

Or just some lucky fucker with an SMG running up behind them and hosing them all down because no-one was watching the rear.

No, that's not what I mean.

The way they talked about the revamped Mixtape, the plan was for it to queue for all selected modes simultaneously, which is the way it should have worked from the start.

The way it actually worked when they released the patch was to randomly pick one mode from those you selected, and queue you for that. This is completely useless.

On patch day, when it did this, it would display the name of the single mode it randomly selected. Now, it displays the icons for every mode you have selected, which to me would indicate it's queuing you for all those modes at the same time.

I have no idea if that's actually the case, or if they just changed it to display the icons like that and it's still randomly selecting a single mode to queue for.

Is there effectively any difference to the player between picking a mode randomly and finding a mode randomly?

I'd rather it tell me what mode I'm getting while it searches, so I have more time to change my class/titan/boost.

Yes, because it is excluding other players who have the mode selected but aren't actively searching for it. This mixtape change doesn't fix the low population game modes issue. It randomly picks if you're going to be stuck searching that low pop mode.

Because it could pick a mode that's completely dead instead of one that is not as populated but still can be played. If you have two people use the new mixtape feature one could randomly get CTF and the other get PvP and they will never be considered matched together even if they both of each of the game modes selected and the CTF player has no one else in the queue.

Old method: Mixtape is a separate playlist to any other playlist, which means you only ever get matched with Mixtape players, which lowers the number of people playing other game modes.

New method: Mixtape isn't a separate playlist, but selecting multiple modes just makes the game randomly select one of those to queue you into. This at least no longer lowers the number of people playing other modes, but also doesn't fix the population issue at all.

What they should have changed it to: Mixtape isn't a separate playlist. Selecting multiple modes queues you up for every one of them at the same time, and the game puts you into whatever queue pops first. This means that everyone who wants to play Attrition/Hardpoint/CTF (for example) is eligible to be put into a game of CTF, instead of never queuing for CTF because CTF has no players because the queue times are infinitely long because no one ever queues for CTF because CTF has no players.

Those modes are still going to be dead no matter what search method is used. If 10x as many people have attrition selected as CTF, then Attrition will have 10x as many players. This would also be the case if they queued the way you guys are suggesting. Changing the menu around isn't going to make people WANT to play CTF, so it's still going to be the same people playing it.

If it goes by what queue pops first, then the same modes are going to populate all the time, which are the same modes that get populated now. You would have to eliminate Bounty Hunt, Attrition, and probably LTS to have any hopes of playing the less played modes.

Because the nuke used to give you titan build time by damaging other titans. If you're invincible it means no damage, and once those are over your titan blows up by your hands, not theirs. So no build time at all for them.

Yeah but I don't see why the nuke victim will have i frames. They aren't ejecting.

I'm not 100% sure on that, cause you were also partially obscured by the dome shield from someone else's titan drop, which may have also blocked damage from the nuke.

I'm saying if you get nuked you aren't generally going to be able to eject. And if escape by the skin of your teeth you didn't need to anyways. trying to figure out why he thinks nuking building the titan meter was better for balance.
