I find it amusing you've been playing the game five times more than anyone else and you're complaining about having to win games  :laugh:

 

Me? Five times more than anyone else? IN THE WORLD? Hardly! Not sure you were addressing me, but i'm not really complaining, just saying :cry:

Dont get me wrong I love the fact there are challenges which make each gen different but give me 100 goosers over a 100 wins. I only say this because I dont get as much time to play as I would like. Love the game though..

I figure pretty much anyone at gen 8 has played more than five times most anyone else, but I don't have the stats in front of me.

From around gen 4, your ranking up so fast because of the gen xp boost. At gen 8 it takes about 20 games to hit rank 50.

Do we have to buy the expansion to get that? I been in matchmaking for 3 minutes now.

Reason why i dont play this game anymore and havent since a month after release.

Your post got me excited, so i decided to try. :(

 

Nope it should be via the recent title update. No need for any of the expansion packs. 

 

The update should complete before you can start the game.

Dude who are you talking to? Pusska or me? :|

I used to be anti-quoting, but then i realized it makes for poor posting!

 

And i'm Gen 4 dammit!

No other challenges require you to win games. It's kinda stupid because even if you're good and get MVP quite often like I do (or did until I stopped playing once getting to 8), your chances of winning are still only 50-50 because of the rest of your team. So it'll take 200 matches to win 100, which is just grinding and not particularly satisfying.

The perils of multiquote from different pages ooooooo

I haven't even had to wait to get in a match since it came out, except maybe half a minute once.

Meh, I'll still take that over rodeo kills. I'm on the winning team about 70 percent of the time if I remember correctly -- but rodeo kills are just going out of your way to play poorly, IMO.

Rodeo kills are easy: Get LMG, get Slammer mod (not entirely necessary, but you can kill a full health Titan with a full clip I believe), destroy all Titans :P

Not sure what's poor about that, though trying to use any other weapon to rodeo kill is probably a poor choice.

LMG with Slammer takes out a Titan in literally 2 secs. Even if they release the smoke it will be so fast that you can get it to nuclear and jump off before smoke reaches you.

 

Thanks man, that challenge hasn't come up for me yet, it's too bad relevant actions don't count towards challenges BEFORE the challenges go active. Then again that would have made them sort of pointless!

I know how to rodeo kill, my point was it's not a very tactically efficient method when there are far better options that are less likely to get you killed.

Agree, it's a nice touch that was added for the thrill factor. Lurking and letting rip with the Archer is much wiser, rodeos are a surefire way to get splattered.

Eh, you just need to be able to get on, get off, and disappear quickly. You shouldn't be running on the ground after a titan to try and rodeo it :P I find it more effective than antititan weapons quite often, but again only with the lmg.

Get on, get off, and disappear quickly is a specialty of mine, so should be easy to do :)

It's especially great if you can jump on, get them to waste their smoke while you jump off and cloak, and then just get right back on while they can't smoke you out anymore :laugh:

 

People have done this to me many times while i was the titan, flailing about helplessly as they mounted me again right after i blew my smoke... :rofl:

It does require good timing and attention!

On the front page too but here's the next set of DLC being launched

 

Interesting read of the description of the new DLC but it talks about hijacking Titans. Not sure what to make of this.

 

^ Ignore that, apparently they meant rodeo. Shame

    • Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛 
    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
