  • Question? When is a games skill difference determined for these graphs?

    Could you clean up the graphs by
    A) only showing games where the skill difference only varied by a small percent throughout tge game

    I can see how it would feel that way...

    1) Got to remember ELO is working for everyone playing so if some one on your team is new and good they may be very under valued... As a whole it's supposed to even out.

  • I just don't trust the button.... i don't think I've ever even clicked it.
  • How about an option for "play now" to ONLY look at you favorited servers???? take it a step further and add a slider that allows us to set the minimum number of players for a server that we wish to play.

    Ex: TG, ISBS, Diamond are all fa…

  • How about not letting it penitrate marines and marine structures?

    Shooting through a skulk and killing the skulk on the other side makes sense. But how does it go through a marine or armory and not do damage?

    This would save…

  • I don't think penitration should be removed... maybe nerfed 2 or 3 entities max

  • you can flick 180 on the horizontal axis so why do you need to flick 180 on the vertical axis? They get you to the same place... If it's to "conserve" velocity you would need to loop or something which with our current map height doesn't make sens…
  • What if we got some Star Fox moves added instead? "Do a barrel roll!"

    Lol, imagine lerks looping and spinning. Might help the less skilled lerks, while it would make the good lerks more predictable so they wouldn't use it....
  • Actually IronHorse is making my point. People (in this case IronHorse) don't really worry about exos. This is relevant because this is a thread about railgun, and many people are saying they are "OP" in certain hands. Maybe the issue is that they…

  • As to tech points? Nooooo! The NS1 fan boy in me still thinks that marines should be able to but a CC in nano and that it should be 1/4 the size. Now your suggesting rines need 2 CCs and they have to be in tech rooms.....

  • Watched epic-vail stream the other day and 3 rounds in a row he went rail-fun. He was clearly the best player on the server and went from a 4-1 (lmg)KD to a 20-1 (rail)k/d... is that OP? If it is then onos is OP(which on PUBs it is).

  • if the dual rail is a high skill high reward combo... how is it different then a fade? I see good fades go 30-5 all day long, I rarely see good rines go rail....

  • Hmmm.... I'm surprised, I just figured anyone who played this game was a "hardcore" ... I guess I shouldn't be surprised there are those who even listen to music while playing!!

  • Do people play PVP/FPS with graphics on anything but minimal? I guess a "beautiful" death is ok for some people.
  • Dual railgun for life.... death to Hobbes' lerk! Pew pew...

    As far as OP, kinda? It basically is a counter to high skill lerk/fade playing pub (60-2). This skews balance because that 4K+ hive skill fade/lerk can't effectively fade…

  • But really is there anything more fun then getting a rail gun and yelling "pew... pew...pew pew...pew" if only all talk was on!

    And the double shot... is way easier then preventing the mini gun from overheating.

  • Noooo..... rail gun so much fun. Pop goes the lerk, pop goes the fade, pope goes the gorge, and pop goes 3 skulks. A rail gun is OP, it makes the high skill life forms moot(Lerk/fade). And the only down side is onos, which can be an upside... …

  • @Archie you should "play" better with a smurf account if the hive score is lower. Hive is trying to balance and thinks your not as good, so it gives you easier opponents.…
