Looks like a good setup for the comp play, the idea of teams is cool, the 8v8 setting is good for it, the scaling set by class and not weight is great.

Should be good, so long as we can get teams together. Really looks like it should be fun.

Or am I doing it wrong and supposed to be complaining about stuff? I haven't read the energy changes yet, so gimme a minute.

No no no, we are suppose to complain about energy rebalance changes for at least 5 more days, and then switch to comp play complaints. ;)

I'm always doing it wrong!//!>?2

Teach me the ways!

One thing I noticed is they haven't given us the finalised energy stats, they mentioned range for example, but not what changes will be made there if any. It seems like we didn't get all the applicable info, which would mean people are really jumping the gun here.

Jumping the gun gets you tons of likes from equal minded fellows, even if the thread is not fully fact based. So jump the gun, and jump often. :D

I'm kinda surprised that no-one has complained about being forced to play conquest.

Heaven forbid they be forced to play the only game mode that requires any tactical thought.

Personally i cant wait to give it a try seems interesting.

I hadn't seen that part, but with the idea that it will be more based around group play/tactics it doesn't really phase me, I might fear the chaos of QP conquest personally but the team focus makes a substantial difference for sure.

Comp matches are already played on conquest all the time. Anyone partaking in said matches understands why it is done ... because we've actually tryed the alternative.

Coming from someone who thinks this game is a poorly disguised scam...

Coming from someone who would prefer to just drop a random fart of a comment in a topic rather than explain his reasoning at all...

IDK, whatever man. I said the reasons why I thought this, you want to bring my personal experience into it. Good luck.

Should be good


Such reasoning! Much amaze!

Now a little smth fyi ... everything in terms of an actual match format is a copy-paste from other leagues, so even if it is "good", it is "good" because other people (namely not PGI) came up with it.

As for your personal experience or rather lack thereof ... for starters please do tell us why you consider any of this "good". Since you don't have any comp experience so to speak, there must be something else you know that we don't ...

Ah so my obvious opinions on some of the aspects as to why I like it, should have been formulaic examples and in depth reasoning as to what makes competitive play function in a given competitive team game.

Sorry man I thought this was a forum, not a unit on game theory. I will compile notes and hand in my papers for the midterm later.

Don't like the taste of your own medicine, eh?

If you do like it, then at least be a dear and give credit to people who are responsible for such format ... i.e. not PGI, hint hint.

My own medicine? lol, I responded to your fart of a comment with a couple of fart responses, it was your "medicine" to just make a random snarky remark, I guess you think it didn't taste good as your responses just went further awry. Project less please.
