amitlu posted:It's really the biggest issue with this game and the main thing keeping me from launching it more often. They need continuous lobbies and just a faster way to get in the game and playing without going through load screens and the main menu loading etc etc. It takes so drat long just to get into a match only for it to end soon and then have to go through the same process. It's one of those old man things of 'I can't believe how inferior this experience is to what we had 15 years ago'. Yeah this. Lobbies to just rear end around in while you wait for a match. But I'll be on and down for some CTF this weekend.

Where's vanilla mode matchmaking, dammit? Like, okay I get that queues are the future and server browsers are for old squares now, but nearly all of my old Quake/Unreal buddies refuse to touch the game because of abilities and the stench of Overwatch that comes with it, and shoving the "no abilities" option to custom games with no way to easily arrange them sucks major rear end. I dread that this demographic is larger than I suspect and that the QC team is shooting themselves in the foot by continuing to shove custom games to the wayside.

Holy moley, I'm genuinely happy to be wrong for once (can you tell I haven't touched the game in a while yet?)! Maybe this'll convince some of the old gang to give the game a chance.

Maybe this'll convince some of the old gang to give the game a chance. Just so you know that mode is called Unholy Trinity under the quick match list. So with the billion loot boxes/shards I have everything unlocked for the characters. Just working on the battlepass unfortunately in tdm/dm only since ctf kinda... sucks? You definitely need to be in a premade like in sacrifice because people either suck or rage quit all day. I had a few crashes in the menu when doing the progression clicks (a million clicks) but other than meh. Not sure what they will try and do next but I don't think they have much time left. I'll try to get on this weekend if you guys want to do some ctf though.

Then when I was look at the customization menu to see what was different, the game crashed randomly again, no memory message though. I have like 16GB or RAM and I was using 12GB just on starting the game up.

Also, I checked out the subreddit for this, and holy-fuckin-poo poo does that sub seem to attract the absolute worst sort of non-stop complainer. Almost literally every single post is someone complaining about something. This patch does seem to have introduced some weird RAM usage issue, but I'm not sure if it's actually using far too much RAM or if it's just allocating a lot of it that is otherwise going unused.

It's actually unreal that there's no cap limit in CTF. Hope they address it soon, I have zero desire to sit around for almost 20 minutes and and repeatedly either clown on those poor souls or get clowned on with no match resolution short of the timelimit.

GGS duder CTF is actually really good if you are on voice. New map is boss. They should have released with this, due, DM, and dropped the rest.

After 300 backpacks, I finally got the Q1 rocketlauncher and Nyx's wings. Fair enough, I guess since the game just autocompleted my rune challenges for me too.

So what’s the general strategy for ctf? anarki for capping, eisen for defense, sorlag for chasing and something else I don’t know.

Social Animal posted:So what’s the general strategy for ctf? anarki for capping, eisen for defense, sorlag for chasing and something else I don’t know. Since the maps are absolutely massive sometimes it's best to defend at mid so you can respawn back at base for another confrontation instead of being completely outmaneuvered because offense champions are gonna outrun you instantly. There's very few chokepoints so it's tough to defend, and a flagrunners dream. Force a standoff if someone takes your flag behind you, that way you don't simply get mulched when the runner and escort come through and they got a free run. General, simple rules I keep in mind that have been successful until I run into a premade 4 stack of good people. Slash and Sorlag are really good on offense too if you know how to move with them. I haven't seen anyone play Athena on offense for some reason, I guess when you use your ability you drop the flag automagically? e: Be mindful of where your teammates are at all times, it's tough to practice but once you get it, it's second nature and you don't NEED voice comms to deduce where enemies are at. The outline through walls is so insanely helpful, I wish I had it in older CTF games.

Protip for going through loot boxes: Click the button and then press the Spacebar to skip the animation and go straight back to the thing so you can click gain. Rinse and repeat to get through it all as fast as possible.

If you had any progress on any of the runes, the game would've autocompleted the rest of the rune for you and if you had any extra currency besides premium, it would've converted that into backpacks and chests too.

Turret Guy (Eisen) is newer than Hookshot Woman (Athena). Turret was too strong at denying items on release, now it’s in a decent place. I am actually shocked at how it is neither useless nor overpowered, and doesn’t need any complicated interface.
