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

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
