  1. Although we haven't seen any "empirical evidence" as to CookiePuss's claim, as is usually requested, your comments do provide some clarity. Thank you.
  2. N-SSW 74 DVAH with a High Mag Scope. Makes people cry. Umm, avoid close quarter combat. EDIT: For an all verse weapon, Id'e go with a Joker rifle or equivalent. Edit-2: I will add the following... Your question.... best gun for asylum fc It depends on your preferred style of gameplay & your niche area. Abington Towers provides players with a unique challenge. Close Quarter Mid Range Long Range .... and anywhere in between What weapon should I chose ? It really depends on your play style. Myself, I like to play long-to-mid range. So I choose those weapons that fills that "bill" You... you might like close-quarters-to-mid-range, and so, there are weapons available to use in that range. etc... Identify your niche Test out that pool of weapons that fit your requirements.. and go to town ........ They're really is no "GO-TO-WEAPON" ... It doesn't exist .. We all just work with what we have, our skills, and the tools available to us.
  3. And here we all thought @NotZombieBiscuit was gonna "swoop" in and yet again save us from some "silver" dribble, and add it to da pile. So much for consistency. Sigh.... Yeah, it can get a bit confusing. Working on an algorithm that we can all work with, so bear with me. if non-forum-warrior dismiss and add to da pile else rally support for alleged hacusations else "git gud" end wtf
  4. I think if they were to merge EU with NA, at least half of the combined pop would quit because of higher ping. Someones going to get hit with a higher ping.
  5. Oh. I'm fine. I wasn't angry or anything. In fact, I killed him 3 or 4 times in a row afterwards. (we were in FC) I whispered him after to thank him for the advice. He ignored me. Sometimes, even when you win, you still lose.
  6. This is what drives all of us forward. "gitten gud" Probably the best advise I have received over the last few months. Although I did follow up with questions and any tips they might suggest. I was told to uninstall.
  7. Haha, great clips of the past... I remember that glitch. Thanks for posting.
  8. Unfortunately no..... I have never been successful in that area, but I do try. No sir. This has been more of a revelation... as it were. Uhmmm, carry on. As you were..
  9. (double negative) "I do NOT wanna cuddle." Why the hell not ? Merged. Oh wait... I get it. The double negative was by design. Which means .. Oh ! Never mind.
  10. I do not believe that it was a silver, but a bronze. Sigh.... heavy hearts to the Bronze player.
  11. I don't believe that it is extreme anger, per say. But rather frustrations. Let's look at the basics of why "any" of us play video games. For most, it is for the pure enjoyment and entertainment factor. Others, it might be for monetary reasons. Let's concentrate on the pleasure seekers. When neither enjoyment or a satisfying entertainment experience can be achieved, this leads to extreme frustration. It can get tiresome. So.... what do we do ? We leave.... to do something else. Perhaps another game. Anyways.
  12. The only time that I remember when Name & Shame was allowed by G1, was about 3 or 4 years ago. They had a massive Ban List as a sticky, and said they would keep it open for a while. That thread was about 50+ pages before G1 locked it after a year. This was before FF if I remember correctly. Yep... good times.
  13. I agree that understanding the root cause for players dethreating should be a focal point, but that effort, in my opinion should be a part of the matchmaking/phasing overhaul. My suggestion, which echos many others in the last two years, as a "quick fix". Not perfect. Does not require a lengthy design/development or testing phase. (The logic/code already exists to check player threat) A quick fix to plug a finger in the dam that would probably help alleviate/minimize one huge issue that plagues new player retention.
  14. Without over simplifying the development effort, as many have mentioned quite a few times over the past year or two, it would seem that either disabling a Gold player to join a mission or kicking them back to lobby when in a Bronze district, might provide the biggest bang for the buck for an intermediate solution until a matchmaking/phasing overhaul is provided. I mean, the code already exist that checks a players threat level before entering a district. Ergo, Gold players cannot join Bronze districts. All they would need to do in Bronze districts is after each mission, check the threat level of all mission participants, and if they're Gold, either kick them to the lobby, or disable the ability to join any other missions. There has been no mention that I have seen, of a timeline/roadmap regarding a matchmaking/phasing overhaul. A significant effort I'll guess, considering the design, development and testing involved. But I would conservatively guess that we won't see this for at least a year or more. I realize that their development team is probably stretched pretty thin, but @MattScott should consider this interim solution to alleviate/minimize issues with new player retention. Matt Scott, thoughts ?
  15. I think what you are trying to say, is that no self respecting True Gold(™) would ever dethreat. It's kind of like a code of honor thing with True Golds(™). lol
  16. My apologies. My experience with Online Translators has been a mixed bag. I applaud your efforts.
  17. As a former developer myself, I have looked at some AHK & Autoit scripts. Pretty damn impressive what you can do. I messed around a bit with Logitech scripts in the past, not sure if the scripting software that comes bundled with Gaming Mice today, are on par with AHK & Autoit. But yes... You make a great point with regards to other "Scripting" utilities. Should it be allowed ? How does a Gaming Co. restrict 3rd party applications (scripting utilities) in usage of their software ? (Edit: 3rd party applications is too broad) Many of us are still waiting for an answer.
  18. Well, the word is out, on some unknown public cheat website, that this iteration of EAC implementation does not kick (detect ?) AHK. Given that news, it would be fair to assume that any "Auto-click", "Trigger-Bot", "Reduced-Recoil", etc ,,, would be fully functional. Good news for some. Not so good news for others. But why ? In a 10 year old game ? Seriously... ? Oh well.
  19. Yood, Either "Google Translator" is failing you, and we are the victims, or you like to speak in metaphors, in which case, we are still the victims.
  20. I thought this was a great write up. Very detailed..., walked us through the whole process. I have not played RIOT yet, but your synopsis gave me a detailed view into this gameplay. The RIOT mechanics, as I understand it, is a bit confusing, not intuitive. I think @SilverCrow had made a similar analogy. Appreciate the time and effort you put into this,
  21. I have not played RIOT yet, but have seen some feedback related to the 4 man group, and how this mode is geared towards premade groups, and not solo players. Probably the biggest reason why I have not tried it yet. PUB groups in standard districts is usually a choir, so the most fun I have is usually Fight Clubs, which can cater to both premades and solo players. Not sure how viable or successful RIOT would be, if the matching was similar to FC. Enforcers v Crims Whether the cap for both sides is; 10 v 10 15 v 15 or as in current FC 20 v 20
  22. I was in a Silver Waterfront district the other day, and was told in district chat that I should go to the Bronze district. "But I am a silver, shouldn't I be in the Silver District ?" "No" was the reply, "Only Golds should be in the Silver District." There was a bit of confusion when I followed up with the question: "What would happen if all the Golds that are in the Silver District moved to a Gold District ?" The response was, "There are not enough Golds to populate the Gold District" The level of confusion at this point escalated. "But if only Golds should be in Silver Districts, and the Silver District is now populated with Golds, how is it that there are not enough Golds to populate a Gold District ?" I think at that point whatever sensibility might have prevailed, resulted in a rapid change to a different topic. It can get confusing.
