So the class changes don't really seem to have affected the classes to much. Harrier, gun slinger, and wraith still seem able to dominate. But man oh man they have to fix matchmaking and backfilling. That will kill this game.

Every class can dominate in the right hands - it's perfect.

If I had to make a rudimentary tier list of the classes that fuck me up the most it would be:

Wraith
Assassin
Harrier
Vanguard
Gunslinger
Enforcer
Titan
Juggernaut
Battle Medic

Glad to see you think so as well. I know you were worried about the wraith changes.

The Wraith changed didn't actually affect me. I always aimed for body hits instead of spamming so it works out well. Though sometimes I notice a 75 when it should have been a 125 - had a GS escape a couple times.

I've noticed a new thing when my team starts losing. People just go AFK so they can get credit for the game....I'm sorry but fuck that. Please devs I would like to request an auto kick after a certain period of time of AFKness. Thanks.

Is it just me or does the assassins shotgun need a change to the way it feels? Used it a bit tonight and it felt like a pea shooter.

Definitely not a peashooter. It shoots fast and hits hard, especially the charged shot. Oh you said "feel" haha, I can agree it doesn't feel as good as it is.



Had my first quad kill with assassin just now but when I tried to save the clip I hit the share button twice and lost the video lol.

Right. I want it to be more punchy with its feel I guess.

Fixed for me :D

There is autokick, but it's fairly slow at around 1 minute of inactivity.

And it is not very smart here, so just moving a little in the spawn or using the old rubberband will fool the system.

Man had some close games last night, game feels really good when no team is dominating and the battles are even (that's true for all games I guess). That small, mirrored map is a bit of a bummer though.
 
oh yeah, one improvement idea for BossKey,

Make the icon on the PS4 stand out abit more against the competition :D Atleast change the colours a little
 
Played a few matches last night filled with GS, Wraith, and Assassin. While I think that's kind of annoying (4 GS/Wraith in every match gets real old, real fast), I love when an Assassin tries to get in on me as a Titan. Unless they get the drop on me, in which case they have a nice advantage, I feel like it's a free (and satisfying) kill.
 
i think they need to make it so that one can only pick one hero class per team.
i had some seriously awesome matches. always with teams which did not have heroes multiple times in it.same in my team.

every time i play a game against a team with multiple assassins and wraith it just sucks. so far i always stay until the end but its no fun at all. i think in the future i will just leave.
 
Just joined a match halfway through and the enemy team have score of 15 on turf war with all the capture points taken but their spawn one. They are now boosting kills on my team attacking the point. Thanks to unbalanced teams and no timer it could go on for ages.

I would say change the icon entirely. Cronos is the ugliest character in the game. It's a really unappealing image.

Is there any chance we'll see some sort of penalty for people who bail? I've found that any game that isn't a full 5V5 is a complete shut out.

FTFY

I find all the other characters drab
 
The quitting needs to sorted out soon. Just had a game where two teammates quit straight away leaving 3 v 5 for a whole match. Really starting to frustrate now.

Also I don't want to complain too much but there are some dumb choices in this game. Moving from warm up into a game with uneven teams makes no sense. Especially when no one joins or does so late in the game.

These issues (including no timer on some gametypes and skill based matchmaking) all add up to dampen the experience.

if any bosskey dev is reading this please add party indicator to the lobby so we can see if there's a stack in the match thank you

Cliffy B put up a poll today on Twitter. It seems as though they are considering it at the very least.

They need remove K/D from the in game match board. Nobody ever wants to fight for the OBJ now, especially if it you miss the pick up and have to fight in their base.

Remove K/D numbers in match and lower the the time limit

Matches need to be lasting ten minutes maximum. I should not be playing quickplay matches for like 12 minutes come on. 13-15 min nail biters close games are for ranked/comp.
 
God, I hate Hellion. She always has that smug look on her face.

Quitting is annoying as fuck too. Game starts 5v5. Someone quits within 30 seconds and another leaves after that. So it's 3v5 like a minute into the match.

they quit as soon as they realize they actually have to put in effort and not walk the obj back to base/hold.

I'm not sure K/D needs to be removed, although I do think they need to do a better job at incentivizing teamplay. K/D removal may be a way to do that, but I think keeping it in is in the spirit of the old-school feel.

Yes they will add in a penalty for that

Maybe removing K/D from the scoreboard and only having it in your profile?

No, it will just cause more quitting. I understand your intentions, but it will be horrible.
Yeah don't do it, there's no benefit to it.

Just had a 3 hour session. Was a blast! I dared to even play games with Gunslinger and Assassin that I've only played few rounds with. And I was quite happy with how I did!

Edit: I need to have my friend watching my broadcast in Steam more often. Seemed to work as a lucky charm, opened a stash with 3 character skins, one of those epic and a weapon skin!

and the (partially) shitty matchmaking continues... it worked really well 2 days ago but now...

Dude, matchmaking has been so bad for me today. Most games were 4v4 and takes forever. Also playing with the same people - I took a half hour break and was put back into the same lobby I left lol.

SBMM is killing this for me - we just should just focus on everyone getting matches quickly.

if they don't lower time limit to max 10 they should at least give you more bonus exp when you go over 10

these matches are sagas man and then you got like 2-3 min downtime between matches, its brutal

even quake does 10 min max iirc

I had to switch to US West to get games. US East kept giving me lobbies that wouldn't fill. Wonder if there's an issue with US East.

Juggernaut has to be the weakest character in the game right? I mean he sucks besides blocking doors with his wall.

Edit* now can't get games on US West either. Warm up starts with 3 vs 3 no timer and never backfills.

If they ditch showing me k/d numbers, assists, objective points, etc I'm out.

I can go play pussy shooter 39480. The babying some fuckers need for their bruised egos is unreal. I had a game where I went some shit like 4 and 18. Completely ass raped to the max, and yeah it sucked and I was mad. On the other hand when I went 35-4, tons of OBJ points, assists, and got S+ ranking you bet your sweet bottom I was gloating like a mofo.

I think KDA being your K/D, or just putting bullets on a person and you get a kill for not finishing someone off is TRASH except for maybe a game like Battlefield.

Seriously. Nut up. The game is about skill based play. You can't hack it, then go try some casual friendly shit the market is flooded with.

It does AFK kick on console - however I've noticed people are using elastic bands on their controllers to press a direction, which keeps them in game. Even across game sessions, you just stay logged in to all games. I was in a session where 3 of the people were just running into a wall.
