[Special Review] Updates: Patches #453 and #455

[Crip 4,735]

NNOOB savage This is so confusing I'd rather figure it out myself.

1) I did not write the entire article and 2) Every other human that has ever read anything of mine has been able to understand it.

 

 

Edit: As for everyone else, there is currently a 0% chance of the Mission Update being removed. Our CM Cedric himself said this on the Livestream. If you wish to write complaints, use the "Complaint Book" topic, found here.

 

I freely admit that the Mission Update was a bad one, as even I am struggling to complete missions. But who knows, maybe there will be more positive updates in the future to balance it out?

and therein lies the problem. Win-buying druggers encouraging the devs to add more ways to buy victory.

I really don't understand these sad bullies, there can't be any satisfaction in winning that way. Maybe they like hitting kids too.

In this patch, the default rank brackets for Legends and Generalissimos () were reduced. This means that Legends can only play Captains in PRO Battles, and will have to settle for Field Marshals () as the lowest rank in regular ones. Generalissimos, on the other hand, still have a large rank bracket, going down as far as Brigadier ().

 

 

 

This is not true.  Generalissamos still go down to Captain (rank 19).  I know because they are still slaughtering me with their M4 stuff against my newbie M2 and even M1 equipment.  It isn't fair and they shouldn't be able to dip so far down into the lower ranks, but the last update did not completely fix the issue...it only got rid of the Legends.  So now I only have to battle with players 11 ranks above me and still M4 vs M2.  As a Captain (rank 19)

 

A Generalissamo (30) playing against me (19) is like me (19) playing against a Master Sergeant (8)...M4 vs M2 and M2 vs M0 respectively.  Slaughter no skill.  Not fair in any universe.  

 

As you have reported, is as it should be, but sadly it is not...

No, you are incorrect. I have taken that information directly from the Patch Notes, which are never wrong :)

 

The Regular rank bracket for Generalissimos () was reduced to Brigadier. This means that the lowest rank a Generalissimo can play in a server-created battle (non-PRO) is Brigadier.

 

In PRO Battles, Generalissimos can create battles with rank brackets extending to your rank. But the subject of this update was normal (non-PRO) battles, not PRO ones.

 

 

Default rank brackets for Generalissimos decreased to Brigadier - Generalissimo;

If Major General presses battle button, then it creates a battle where both the Generallisimo and Captain can play.

Atleast in non DM modes.

 

I just saw Highways CTF where both captains and Gnerallisimos can play together.

 

It is on EN2 now.

Could you send me a screenshot of this? If you are correct, then it is a massive flaw in the Battle Auto-Creation System.

 

Thanks.

I approve of this response. Being honest about how terrible the mission update was, but is looking up to the future optimistically. :)

But, 0% chance of Mission Update being removed...? That's a kicker. -.-

If you do not want to play non- pro battles, then the pro section is for you. Do not complain about how they are forcing you to play non-pro. 

 

I play non-pro. Just jump from battle to battle and find one with out a heavy supply user. Also, If you invite enough friends to a battle (If you have enough online) you can prevent the extreme supply users from finding it. 

If you play pro, you do not need supplies. If you play pro with supplies, it is no different than in a regular.

Savage is one of the smart people. Listen to him :D

Sympathising with the complainant, while at the same time saying that there's nothing you can do about it is a well-documented interrogation technique. It's what Mr Nice says to you inbetween the times you get visited by Mr Nasty.

 

Not that I'm suggesting for one moment that Savage is trying to wear us down using interrogation techniques. It's probably completely unintentional. :ph34r:

Oh damn you've seen straight through me.

 

On the contrary, what I say is the truth. If you watched the recent Livestream with @Cedric Debono, he was asked several times whether the Mission Update would be removed. He answered this as shown below (this is taken from the Livestream Review, by @Flexoo).

mission exploitation...

 

more like player exploitation.  :angry:
