Trong Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Lol, I can't win games when I play with other people. The chemistry isn't there. I have played ranked 3v3 games with my 2 friends and have literally only lost 2-3 games. When I only play with one of my friends, we always lose a teammate or our teammates aren't helping. I enjoy playing with them, I can actually begin a conversation without having a racial slur thrown at me or someone cussing me out. Grrrr! I was doing so well in ranked games!

Ayepecks Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Yeah, that is supid, but they're just trying to stop boosters. I want to see how far the tag distance is. I hope it's not insanely low now -- that weapon saves me when it's just me versus 3 or 4 (when my teammates die). Glad they idn't change the other weapons, though, they've got a nice balance.

I hope it's not insanely low now -- that weapon saves me when it's just me versus 3 or 4 (when my teammates die). Glad they idn't change the other weapons, though, they've got a nice balance. I totally understand why they are doing it, as I hate boosters as much as the next man, but it just seems to be taking it a bit to far. I really feel that while yes, a decent amount of people may actually care about their rank to a certain extent, that most people, including myself, do not care that much at all about it. However we do enjoy having some kind of continuing point system attached to our gamertag while playing. I know that is at least the case with me. I am ranked like 30,000, so obviously I suck, but I still like being able to have a rank but I also enjoy doing so while playing with friends. I guess I may just stick to public matches from now on, but to me it sucks that they are trying to get rid of cheaters but actually hurting normal players way more, at least in my opinion, in the process. In regards to the grenade tag, I never knew until the other day you could actually be pretty far away. I always right up on the person as close as possible. Go figure. :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pc_Madness Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 That seriously is the biggest mistake they could have made. It probably wasn't up to them, just MS putting pressure on them to play by the Live rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
American Ninja Posted January 9, 2007 Author Share Posted January 9, 2007 I just read that as well!!! WHAT!!! How can they remove the host name from the list??? :angry: :angry: :angry: That seriously is the biggest mistake they could have made. Sure, I am not arguing the fact that it may have been an "exploit" that people would search for their friends names to play with them, in fact I posted about that specific "workaround" once it was shared with me on here shortly after the game was released, but sincerely and truly, what does Epic not understand about the fact that people enjoy playing with their friends??? I really think they are taking the whole concept of being ranked a little to far. They need to add a new filter for "ultra competitive" or something like that and implement it into there. That is seriously a horrible decision on their behalf, and just knocked my enjoyment of the ranked multiplayer down a whole, whole lot. I feel the same way Larry :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

American Ninja Posted January 9, 2007 Author Share Posted January 9, 2007 lolSo... is Viva Pinata any good then? It must not be because it is not selling much at all. Thats what I heard on the 1upyours podcast. A little over 100,000 I think don't quote me on that. I will have to listen to the podcast again.

I just hope they didn't make it unrealistically close, like where you have to be literally standing right by the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently you're disregarding the reviews of basically everybody that's actually played it. :p It's not doing well because it's a marketed as a children's game, yet children can't play it because it's so complex. Apparently it's very fun if you can get over the "they're pi?atas" aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read reviews or ask any other person who's played it and they'll say the same. It just didn't get the necessary and proper marketing it deserved.

Danrarbc Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Nooooooooooooooooooooooo! They're removing the host names from the list. I'll never be able to join with my friends now! On the other hand there's nothing worse than joining a game and finding out the 4 guys on the other team have been playing together the last 4 hours on ranked and always do that, while the other team is left to create a strategy with their skills on the spot.

AmpCoder Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Yes, the patch has been released. I was asked to update when I first started the game about 10-15 minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
