    How do demos work in 1.4.5?

    It can only access the demos in the root folder. So JediAcademy/GameData/MBII/demos So to run your demo, make sure it's in that folder and then /demo LastDemo_recording

    And this somehow refutes my points :D Good banter.

    Basic Gameplay & Core Mechanics

    They are rare as is if you git gud. ;) Knockdowns are a nice tool for creating tension. Good gameplay needs low points as much as it needs high points. The joy you get from a game stems from overcoming these low points. Rather than removing them and making the game more bland, I find it to be a...

    Basic Gameplay & Core Mechanics

    I suspect the meta would shift significantly depending on how this is handled. The big advantage would be giving players more movement. This reduces the frustration factor slightly as it reduces the player's lack of control in a knockdown situation. I thinkt it could be a beneficial feature.

    MBII frag video - The Butterfly Effect

    How did you do some of the free cam shots that blend together? Matching the angle for both demos seems like a lot of work.

    Basic Gameplay & Core Mechanics

    Nice and thought out post! The movement suggestions in particular sound really good. I would note that it would be cool to keep the coinflip animation in place for mid-air getups. Bringing getup rolls to most classes could be nice. I would probably adjust that rule slightly, so that it only...

    Favoritism

    Yeah, it's essentially all about identifying the build the SBD is using. Cortosis builds will be lacking in other departments. It is not out of the question to fall back and wait for some gunner support. Act as a distraction while your gunners shoot the SBD down. In general Cortosis can be worn...

    [EXPIRED] 999 ping spikes

    I would not be surprised if your ping gets about 5-20ms lower if you use cable. So latency ought to improve without a doubt. Example: On my desktop that is hooked to the modem -> 70-80ms on BG On my laptop that is hooked to the wifi -> 80-90ms on BG

    [EXPIRED] 999 ping spikes

    Packet loss and latency. You can get a significantly better online experience especially in games that have bad packet loss handling if you use a wire. When playing modern games you'll probably notice less issues, but they're still there. Masked by the engine to make your user experience look...

    [EXPIRED] 999 ping spikes

    You've done the typical networking improvements right? /snaps 40 /cl_maxpackets 100 /rate 25000 These should ensure your game is taking in as much data as it can. Once these configurations are in place though, the problem must be somewhere beyond MB2. If it does not help, try playing with a...

    The Unskilled Argument and the Intricacies of Balance

    I am not. I am making it an example of the importance of synergy/counter picks that stems from RPS aspects. A team with pure Genjis was shit tier when faced against a team that had a standard comp. Blizzard received a lot of complaints about Quick Play being too random and introduced 1-per hero...

    The Unskilled Argument and the Intricacies of Balance

    Skill is currently a very strong deciding factor. A high tier single-life soldier will wipe the floor with any low tier player of any class. Even further I would say that rock paper scissors is very much valid design for asymmetric games. This breeds variety and makes more things viable. Let's...
