Restrained Crown Posse posted:Has anyone else had issues with crate items not being granted after the animation to open them? I got told I had a Clutch rune, went to look at it and then found nothing on his rune menu. If you run into this stuff, take a SS while still logged in or write down the KSIVA numbers at the bottom of the screen and it'll help them find the issue if you submit a bug report. Zaphod42 posted:You're totally wrong, but really they should just be two different queues. Its so dumb having people vote for one or the other MODE. Voting for maps makes sense, for modes it does not. Playlists are being dropped for mode selection in next update. https://twitter.com/girlnamedmaggie/status/1015287775652909056?s=19 MJBuddy fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Jul 19, 2018 |

HoboWithAShotgun posted:But... Why not..? If they're good, then surely they should be rising out of Bronze, or whatever rank they're at. It's very easy to lose 100 SR in a mere hour if you have a losing streak (or gain it in an hour or two conversely). I honestly don't understand, sorry. Speed to proper rating advantages require reasonably thick populations along the curve. Large enough gaps in groups of players can create bi-modal clustering that prevents the two groups from interacting and correctly distributing ratings across them.

HoboWithAShotgun posted:Still don't get that, sorry. If I make a new account in Street Fighter 5, I'll pretty quickly rise to the rank of my main account. Don't really see how it should be any different in another 1 vs 1 type game. Similarly, in that game - assuming the achievement stats are to be believed - a mere 8% of total players have even reached Gold rank, which in that game is quite low. The top ranks have even smaller percentages, but it's nowhere near as easy to check actual numbers. 16.1% have reached Silver, so you'd have to assume 4-5% at most have reached the next full rank after Gold (Platinum, again not really that high to be honest, probably the equivalent of a Quake player who has >35% LG aim, but can't strafejump, doesn't memorize item spawns, etc.). The problem is less about new players or median group players, and more about outlier groups sitting on islands. New players won't have trouble getting a fast match or moving up in rankings. What they will have a problem doing is crossing large gaps in ratings that exist for a variety of reasons (long time in between resets, large change in pops, changes in matchmaking algorithms) and the veteran players on the other side of those gaps are having troubles matching with New players waves as well.

MysteriousStranger posted:I think the logic was to drop que times. The game has a growing player base, but it's not all that large. Each different que fractures that base even more as people tend to play one game mode really and focus on it. So by keeping it solo/teams that's a way to force reduced wait times and fuller servers. Yeah. It went into place before the E3 growth along with bots.

Zaphod42 posted:Of course, but still. I'd rather wait longer to get the mode I want. This is how it worked prior to the E3 patch. You could multiqueue in casual or ranked.

Jose Mengelez posted:the gauntlet drops from chests and reliquaries anyway so there's no need. Weapons in the store typically run about 1100 plat, which is $10 retail in the store, so if you were going to purchase a weapon rotating through, it's effective a bunch of stuff thrown in with the skin. If you're looking to buy loot boxes, 2 reliquaries and 200 plat is a similar value, and you're getting a skin thrown in free.

Jabor posted:I only caught the finals of the 2v2, any of the earlier rounds worth looking at? It looks like all the Liquid matches were stomps, but the Blind Trust Semifinal went to 5 and was pretty great. Felt like Clawz accuracy was off, based on past matches I've seen from him. Today is Duel finals and the 2v2 pool had a bunch of great pros so should be loaded matches start to finish.

treat posted:Bind them all around WASD. 1, 2, 3, 4, Q, E, R, F, etc. Don't use 6 through 0, and don't use 5 unless you can easily and comfortably reach it. There aren't that many weapons as compared to Quake Live so it shouldn't be necessary anyway. They are default bound to Q,E,R for the trinity and F is your ability by default.

Jose Mengelez posted:you can probably get the 250k favor required to buy a new champ every couple weeks (at most) if you play a couple matches a day and get your daily challenges and log in bonuses done (faster at the moment since it's 2x rewards for quakecon.) If you log in daily and do the challenges, it's about 3 champs ever 2 months. With the double rewards for August it should be a lot faster though.

Housh posted:Since Free to Play? (when I joined) Bots were removed largely during the Elo reset a few weeks back and entirely at the pre-Quakecon patch. Bots are only in Bot TDM mode and custom games. The first match after training IS against bots but you only play them until you hit level 2. And then you can play whatever. Last patch it was really easy to feel like you were crushing it because knew players didn't know the bot names and you had to play two matches minimum of TDM that had bots only but wasn't clear that they were bots.

Sikreci posted:What's the deal with the netcode? I'm no Fatal One Thank You but it feels okay to me. I see tons of people bitching about it everywhere other than here and claiming the game is fundamentally broken, though. Also I guess there were a bunch of technical problems at Dreamhack or Quakecon or something? At QCon the spectator client was lagging a bit on day 1, and they were troubleshooting that through the day. Fixed by Day 2, but a bunch of redditors thought that it affected the players themselves.

CJacobs posted:I just lost a reliquary and any items I would've gotten from it because the game connected me to a match while it was opening up. It seems the game doesn't consume lootboxes at the same time as it gives you the resulting items for some asinine reason, so if you connect to a match during the opening animation you lose the box but don't get anything. I've opened backpacks as a match launched and gotten the runes from them. The box opens and you get your items but you don't see what they are so you either have to dig for them or double check your shards.
