Preferably one that will make the game as a whole mostly the MM less toxic ?

It seems unlikely we'll get a 3rd patch in as many weeks. I don't think they've ironed out the issues from the last patch yet either.

On the other hand MM has been kinder to me than its ever been in recent memory. Not sure what thats all about.

Games been unplayable for me , Facing the ggclose meta build sync dropping clowns far to often , with the pilots on my team clearly sniffing glue, Its simply intolerable .

All I'm hoping for is the Kit Fox reveal. More actual content or game fixes would probaby be asking too much of PGI.

This game desperately needs fixing desperately

I'm not sure how you expect a MM patch to remove those "sync dropping meta builds?" Meta isn't going anywhere, and sync drops aren't really mandatory for PUG stomps in premades.

Yep. Stop releasing new half baked features and fix/improve the existing ones. Just make the game stable and polished so we can really enjoy clans and CW when they arrive.

Don't add anything unless you can add everything.

Y'know, I get that marketing/art and development are two separate departments. Cool. You hired one bunch of goons for one department and another group of goons for the second one. Your marketing/art department is WAY AHEAD OF THE GAME. The developers can't keep up with the art department's timeline. So, maybe either find something these guys can do to help the Developers...like have them proofread code or play the damn game and "test" new bits of code or something.....or hire more experienced Developers.

FFS.

cant drop with 4 meta victors, cant have 2/3 of your team knowing each others play and being able to communicate better , One team on either side , if theres 2 on one side 2 on the other , thus most of the issues are fixed. or better atleast, these are all things that are supposed to be coming in soon .

You and I need to group up then. I love trashing the RT on those guys, but don't face off with them often enough. Plus, 1 less glue sniffer.

Patches happen on the 1st, 3rd, and if it happens, the 5th Tuesday of every month at 10 AM PST/PDT.

Has been the case for at least a year.

This is the 2nd Tuesday.

So, 3 meta Victors and 1 meta Cataphract is so much better that issues are solved? With the bonus that if you drop with that, you will know that the opposing team can't have more meta than you, even if they get lucky with randoms? I have a feeling you might be in for a disappointment.

[Cavendish]

They SHOULD at least patch the bloody 4gb patch thing.

Good luck to them finding 9 people in the que with only 1 assault and 3 heavys and not getting put to the bottom of the list all I have to say.

Well, the meta build problem still won't go away. It'll just become 3 Victors and 1 Cataphract or whatever is possible. I think thats more of a weapon balance issue. At any rate those 4 will always be on comms and have a one up on anyone who isn't. That is unavoidable I'm afraid.

I've heard that 1 group per team may be coming off the table soon. It raised group wait times to unacceptable levels.

Sync dropping is hard to track, and even once you detect it how do you stop it? Also, people have made a strong case that more constraints make it easier to sync.

Now, I'm not saying you're wrong and I certainly don't know the answers to these questions. I just wanted to point out that it is perhaps more complicated than it appears at a glance.

Thing is if things continue the way there going , I just hope the sync dropping types are commited to this game because they shall be all that's left. I'm so tired of it games decider by who has the premade its bs , The game doesn't need pugs . so pgi is telling us the bigger majority of the income they receive and largest portion of the player base, is only there to watch the pre mades decide the game no . Its why the games dying , fix it please.

[KodiakGW]

Not sure if there is a patch today. April 29th was the CW patch (and subsequent hot fixes), May 6th patch had new Hero and Champion. So, your guess is as good as mine. But, I would say no.

I tried really hard not to say this, but instead of asking PGI to fix the game so you'd win more, you could consider, like, playing better?

I PUG the majority of my games, and my W/L ratio is above 1.5, so obviously it can be done. I do get terribad teams too, and often there's just nothing to be done. Then you move on. I've found that if you can average 500+ damage per match, you're bound to be on the winning side more often, despite the premades.
