Hoping for a matchmaking fix with the new maps, really pisses me off getting matched up with shit teammates and losing because of it.
I thought that too at first, but recently when I get put on the losing team we come back from being completely destroyed to just barely losing/winning by a couple dozen points. I don't mind it as much when I actually have time to turn things around, you know?

Getting dumped into the end of a match is still bullshit though.

Getting 100+ attrition points and barely winning is not fun.

Not really, I was clearly carrying my team with 100+ Attriction points and some of them with 0 pilot kills and hardly any grunts kills. It's like they just throw anyone into games regardless of rank, it's horrific and really ruins the fun for me. It isn't fun getting paired against good players while no one on my team knows how to play.

No, that still pisses me off too. I just seem to have it happen less than it used to.

The reverse is worse imo; Getting guys matched in mid-match who don't do shit? One hardpoint match earlier had 3 guys on my team disappear somewhere between the lobby and the match starting, then the 3 replacement guys that got found were complete garbage and barely had 300 defense/attack points between them at the end of it. I have no clue what they were off doing.

That's the definitely the worst I think, looking at the score board at the end and seeing players who would have to try to be that useless on my team. 150 Assault and 100 Defence points in a whole game, are you actually retarded?!

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
My last gooser kill is playing hard to get. I think this is the first time I didn't have all the challenges wrapped up by the time I maxed out at 50.

If anyone wants to go gooser hunting later today send me a friend request at ” the Seventh 1” on the xbone. Wouldn't mind matching up with some of y'all. I don't use the mic but I will die Leroy jenkins style for any one of y'all!

This happens far to often for me when i first join a game, makes me quit playing because i feel like I'm wasting my time. We all have bad games every now and then, but getting thrown into one for a first game and having no chance of competing to win just grinds my gears.

Does anyone know if Respawn commented on the issue at all? Is it even seen as a issue by them?

Yep. It's pretty legit when you get Instant Shot, but it's the pits at anything but long range.

Lmao

I cringe every time you guys recommend the instant shot. It's what makes the weapon suck and lead to the result that you guys are not learning to use it right.
 
Aww yiss, another crash. And, no surprise, it the materialsystem_dx11.dll! And it crashed my display driver too! I had initially though that my GPU overclock was causing it, but I'm at stock settings and it does it anyway. I was in the middle of a match and everything.

Is a powerline adapter set up possible for you? I thought I was stuck with wifi until I discovered this little doo-hicky. $40 at Amazon, works perfectly.

Oh woah...are these worth it if I get 27 down/7 up with a 5 bar connection? I'm usually pretty good with networking stuff, but i've never seen these. What sets them apart from regular routers? Basically one plugs into your router, and the other closest to you for minimum interference and stuff like that?

Wait, are you seriously trying to boost Gooser? They did switch it from 50 to freakin' 5 in the patch... right? I mean... 5?!? You don't want to do 5 legit?!?

Not at all. I was more talking about the other people on here that are stuck on gooser to meet up and play. I wasn't asking for anyone to take a dive or anything of that matter. I'll get them eventually, it's my new obsession after all.

They plug into electrical outlets and you plug a cat5 cable into them. They use your home's electrical wiring as a network, and you don't have to worry about latency like you do with wifi.
 
Finished all my gen 5 requirements except for the gooser. Managed to get one so far. Those things are rage inducing to me. I think I cussed at my TV more in the last 24 hours than ever before. I'm done with the arc cannon and switching to the machine gun to try to get the other 4. It's so frustrating to see the pilot eject, shoot them and not get the kill!

I hear ya. Just use the chain gun with an extended mag or accelerator. I personally used the extended mag, forget about dooming titans, just stick with your friendly titans, assist them in getting their health down. When the titan is about to get doomed, back off a little to create room, reload and when doomed just wait for thr ejection.

Even if the pilot is cloaked, you'd still see the jetpack, either way just follow straight up as you fire your weapon, even if you cant see the pilot, still blind fire.

You'll get the challenge done eventually. We were all there, lol.

Same here, completed all but the closer challenge by the time I hit 50. But now that the XP is coming a lot easier, I think rest of the gen challenges won't be done either.
 
Okay yeah, I've had 4 crashes with Materialsystem_dx11.dll being the faulting file in the past 2 1/2 hours, and looking at EA's and Respawn's forums it's a pretty widespread issue, so I hope it gets fixed soon.

Who said anything about learning? It's not a matter of "learning" if it's against your preference to adopt a different play style to begin with. Seeing as you're not actually making a case for it either way though, I'll pretend this is some hilariously misplaced empty elitism that may as well say "l2p noobs".
 
Plasma Railgun kills are nothing compared to Charge Rifle Criticals. I've been at Gen 4 Level 50 for over a month now, it's completely killed my will to play the game.
Really? That's like two games, just rodeo an Atlus. You can try campaign too and kill the campaign titans with ease.

And everyone complaining about the plasma challenges, just wait until you hit the arc cannon challenges...

Guys, i am on Xbox One and i am experiencing a weird glitch that's freking me out: every time i start a Game, no matter the mode, the screen starts to flicker and the HUD fucks up completely, like leaving a persistent trace for all the elements on screen.
Restarted the console, nothing changed.
It happened all of a sudden, i've bene playing for like 3hrs. :/
 
I tried, still too tedious. Not to mention then I feel bad for going like 19-1 against a bunch of fucking noobs just trying to have some fun in the Campaign.
I like Hardpoint for Titan-killing type challenges but I'm kind of shocked that you're struggling so much with charge rifle criticals regardless. What's your critical hit accuracy with it? If I was trying to grind it out I would leave my Titan on autopilot and use it for arc grenade reloads, hunt down auto titans, and take care of their shields with said arc grenades. Seems like a few hours of effort.

I did stop playing the campaign for this very reason. Just have a feeling of guilt when I see all new players there while I'm quite high in gens.

My friends still want to run into campaign because it is easier to get thr challenges done but still dont feel like it.

The description said arc mines do nominal damage... it lied.


Also, screw awful teammates. We just lost a match of Hardpoint where I had over 1800 points on offensive and my team all had <500.
 
Just picked up titanfall on pc and waited 5 minutes for a campaign match but couldn't get in one. Is that pretty common now or did I just try at a bad time? Game seems pretty fun so far

I've had issues finding people for campaign, haven't really bothered to do it because of that.


This game has some of the weirdest lag for dedicated servers.

I just spent an hour rodeo'ing Titans and hitting them with the Charge Rifle, but not one single fucking critical.

Fuck this game. Fuck this challenge. FUCK EVERYTHING

FUCK, IM SO ANGRY

Yup, nothing worse than being teamed up with randoms that don't understand or play the objective.

how is having a challenge you can't do change the game?
Because I have to completely modify my style of play to accommodate the Challenges, which really isn't all that fun (I want to play the game the way I want to play the game).

At the same time, I also feel inherently compelled to work my way up through the levels and reset, because I'm so used to it in Call of Duty. I'm really not interested in hitting the max level and staying there, I like working my way back up, it's fun.

So, fuck me.

Basically, they had it right the first time, in Call of Duty 4, and the Challenges don't make it any better, they only make it SO MUCH FUCKING WORSE.

Just got this for the PC. Figured I would take advantage of the Origin "sale". How is the netcode? Better than BF? COD?

Much better. Consistency and good netcode are important to me. Titanfall isn't perfect, but it's much better than most games. Sometimes funky shit still happens.

The biggest issue Titanfall currently has, in my opinion, is that the game doesn't shuffle teams to create balanced teams. Instead, teams are kept together no matter what. Even in between different lobbies.

I legitimately hate my life... and Hardpoint.

To dudes who have me added, I'm sorry if I don't respond to invites when I'm in-game, I run the game through Steam so I don't have the Origin overlay. :x (plus Origin doesn't have the IM sounds like Steam does)

I finally hit Gen 3. Those two weeks off plus the long haul from level 40-50 really made it take ages.

Try being your teammate and just trying to complete the team objective when people like you are wasting time trying to fulfill challenges. I mean, I understand you hate it, but it's even worse for everyone else, because you have a choice to cease playing that way.

It's hard to believe anyone at Respawn was stupid enough to implement personal challenges into an exclusively team-based multiplayer game. And yet here we are.

6. I've been Generation 4 Level 50 since about 2 weeks after the game came out. Yeah, I'm fucking frustrated.

At least I'm good enough that I'm still first place on my team every game, even while doing Challenges.

When I thought Charged Rifle challenge is already bad, the Gooser challenge when it was still 50 is the one that torn me apart.

All I have left to say, is that for a game that holds the ideal of "Fun" as a core tenet, Regeneration Challenges are not fun. Just tedious.
