    Great to see Marquez congratulate Rossi Had a really hard time finding the race stuff this weekend. Last time in Italy every single session was posted within a couple hours of it happening, it was so nice. This time all I could get was French, and half of them corrupt. I saw Salom's...

    Me and a friend beat a 2 dorf + bastion group on Hanamura last night. Wish I could remember the team we used, but I know I and my friend went Dva to rush the turrets. The rest of the team didn't stubbornly stick to their pet hero and switched out to something useful. Really satisfying to win...

    Sticking together is the key to winning. I'm really good at survival so I'm usually the last to die. So I get to run to the point and watch dots turn into skulls on the way, arriving alone. Part of getting better for me has been to turn around and wait on everyone else.

    I really like Dva. I use her on any attack map with likely turrets. Since that whole game is about where are the turrets and how do we kill them. I sometimes get the maps mixed up and take her on a hold-the-point kind of map, and she's not super great at that.

    Just saw that vid of the projectile box being huge. That's gotta just be a bug. Nobody uses boxes for anything but a first pass "you might have hit" stage. Maybe just a not-a-fps-company mistake? If you are curious why, boxes don't fit bones very well, bones being the transforms that put...

    I'd like to repeat my story from pages back about jumping over the chokepoint from A in Volsk as phara and a turret in the back of point B shooting me out of the sky in 3 shots. Think about how far that is.

    Fought that several times yesterday. Dva is pretty good against a single turret, but if they are positioned in sight of each other you usually make it about 10 feet. I think they would have to severely distracted to lose. I mean moreso than the usual. Turn from tv show now and then to whack...

    Yesterday was the first day where fun was very hard to find. Just about every match was multiple dorfs + bastions. I really don't find fighting turrets fun. If I wanted to play AI I'd play AI.

    If they know the instakill cheese, you can't get out. If they don't know how to do it properly you can ice yourself, jumpjet etc.

    Finally caught up with Gp and F1. All exciting but I think I liked the moto3 race the best out of all of em. The isle of man TT is starting up, with all the racing starting next week. This week itv will have a bunch of warmup type shows. Hope I can find them all.

    I am 60ish and I get in games with 20's and 30's alot. I always took that as an indication of how bad I am, but I guess it is that MMR whatever that means. Massively Multiplayer Radishes? Multiple Modron Rentals? I've been watching a tourney and every one of the "pro" players hop hop hop...

    Yes I've noticed it when playing Phara. Bouncing people all over the place with rockets and their health staying solid. I think sometimes they have big shields from Lucio and it just doesn't show up on their bar. That's my guess anyway.

    Turn on the performance stats and look at your ping. When I play with work friends, they are all out in cali so I get a 120-130 ping. When you add in ticrate delays it is a long time. When I play by myself or with you guys I'm around 80 and there's a huge difference. I still get shot...

    Me too, thus my sound problem. I went through this with starwars pvp, and began to really focus on survival. Took a few days but it really made a difference. Sound is key. Footsteps are great if you can hear them. The more powerful the enemy the louder the footsteps supposedly. But you...

    My list of stuff I'd change: Damage falloff curve on turrets with range. Bevel off V corners in some of the maps. Have gotten hung on geometry in a few spots (though mostly everything is pretty smooth). Fix (somehow) not being able to see your health in areas with bright floors. Fix...

    Yea I don't get people saying the range is limited. If you take a flying character it will nail you all the way across the map. 3 shots dead on the flying lady and it's not like you can duck behind something in midair. BTW I added everyone's battle thingy. Only Krovvy answered so far, want...

    There's a map where you can see really really far. A good counter for turrets should be a sniper, but the second you pop out to shoot you get trashed, at ranges so far you really need a scope to even see the turret. Not really sure what other counters there are for one. Nothing I play...

    Turrets just need a damage falloff at range. Right now they do max damage at very very very far ranges.

    Agreed! I've only played the girls so far but my best widow was 11 kills with no dying. It seems really forgiving with the headshots.

    I'd say yes for now. In a few days people will start getting really good, and in a few more days the hacks will begin. Even losing is fun though. Getting sniped in planetside 2 is always super annoying, but in this game it's like "hey good shot". Generally when I die I feel like it was my...

    I noticed a sort of "voidstar effect" on some maps, where a defending team's kill timing could get the attackers spread out. So the respawns run back and fight one at a time vs the whole enemy team. Kind of a strange timing consequence thing. (in voidstar you get these random door delays...

    Hah no I mean you run in an empty room and get shot in the face from nothing, and the kill screen is a man without a head. Haven't seen that? My friends were seeing it too.

    I think datastructures was my fave cs class. I've forgotten most of it, but I remember doing tree balancing stuff, B+ trees or something? Bucketses? For games we can rarely use off the shelf containers as they are too loose with memory allocation. So over the years I've seen a lot of...
