No friends online, so I decided to do a quick PUG fail run. We won the game, but it was still massive fail. First, one guy on the enemy team suicides. Then we end up with an afk. I was playing cicada for the lulz and after killing two guys I finally die. Then I start spectating one of my teammates.

He's a bot, he's running into a wall but he's turning left and right slightly (so you know he's not just on auto-throttle forward) and he's spamming R to acquire new targets randomly.

I already read 4chan, so this isn't news to me. But really? is the grind that bad you have to pretend you're playing with a bot? Pretty sure you're not having fun at that time, just move on to something else.

PUGging is really rough.
I would think that weekends would be the hardest times to pug since that is when most people have the most time to play.



I have fixes for the grind and new players experience in my thread-which-shall-not-be-named (in my sig below).

I played this morning and had good random pug teams. Pretty sure its a crap shoot that isnt in your favor.

I mean, we won. But both teams were full of bots, afkers, and suiciders. It's just amazing lol.

Ahhh... yea, people are at work and farming from work.
Yea, this does need to be fixed.

I PUG, and I try to avoid the times the Americans are on.

Nothing against them, but when you have a 270ms ping from Australia, it's tough competing against 50-100.

Don't mind Europeans that much though.

I've seen that sort of thing at all times of day. I do think there's a lower population playing in the AM hours, so you tend to get the same people over and over again several matches in a row, which doesn't seem to happen as much on weekends and evenings. If you get the same AFK/bot/suiciders repeatedly (*cough* Kilo Alpha *cough* nonames *cough*), it's very noticeable.
