Looking forward to tonight's meet up, though my games been off for the last few days. Not that I was awesome to begin with, but I can play better.

BTW: the team stats was misleading. I thought it was going to show clan rankings. That would be awesome. I really, really want to see how the clan's match up, and how each player in each clan compares to their own clan members. Hopefully those type of stats are coming too.

Alright, I think I got this headset all paired up and functional. Looking forward to tonight's game! Maybe we can play some Conversion? I'll post when I'm about to hop on, not quite sure when that'll be though since today's been crazier than expected. Hopefully by 8 EST.

hi sonycowboy, why are you always playing unranked games alone? come and play with us in the clan games.


Yeah Sonycowboy is scared to play with us? You seem like a good player, why not play with us?

He's just shy. Maybe he thinks he's not good enough so he's practising his little heart out.

I personally enjoy the experience. Playing with friends (well, I suppose that's what everyone here is) is damn fun - especially when everyone is laid back.

I also enjoy the random nut jobs yelling into their mics (not you guys). They're always entertaining.

The upside to playing unranked games is that people can more easily join him at any time, unlike the situation with the clan meetups where you guys form a party and go straight into ranked games. If you're not on time, it isn't very easy to join in on the fun.

I'm going to try to get online tonight, hopefully I get out of here and workout at a reasonable time... I also need to do grocery shopping, do laundry and maybe get a haircut... but I'm going to try to make it.

LOL, I'm getting a haircut tonight and I don't think I'll be online. I've been getting fatigued lately, plus I plan on going to the gym Wednesday morning at 7. So off to bed early for me. :(

This weekend for sure. Unless I'm flying a kite. :/

They're speculating about potential new content, maps released when the PS3 get's released in Europe I believe. Also, maybe it's a hint/speculation that the servers will go international?

Haha reminds that one game where one of us who will remain nameless left their headset on and had a whole conversation with a lady in the back ground. Somehow ended up with the game freezing and me getting my second quit :(. Looking forward to tonight unless this girl calls me.

Yeah, what the hell was that? Man, that was driving me nuts. One of the GAFers kept giggling while that whole conversation was going on and I was complaining. That guy jinxed our game - I had to quit too, damn it!

As bad as that was, I'd have to say the wailing kid was the worst. Wow. I know PS3 is DOOMED, but man, that guy was taking it hard. :D

I would appreciate if someone could link me to an explination of XP and leveling up. I'm not looking for shortcuts but rather an explanation of how XP is gained and if Unranked games are factored in or if it's just gained through ranked games. Comparing my stats and ranks to others has me all sorts of confused.

Not sure if unranked games give XP. Click mentioned that they do, but the MP help guide seems to suggest otherwise. :/

From earlier in the thread:

There are 20 ranks. Each rank has 3 pips (for a total of 60 levels). You move up levels by getting XP. You earn XP after every ranked game. Getting placed higher (as a result of the points you scored) than other people in the game yields more XP. You aren't told how much XP you earned after a game but you are told (on you're character/stat sheet) how much XP you need to move up another level (so I suppose you could figure it out). I don't think you can earn negative XP (it would surprise me). So, I don't think you can get demoted (or I would probably know ). Which means you don't have to be good to reach a certain rank, you just have to play. Each time you move up a rank you get more cute accessorries to put on you're character. I don't rememeber where I've seen the hierarchy before and I'm a little too lazy to find it right now, but I know its out there....

Also, jstevenson informed us that everyone on a team gets the same xp:

jstevenson said:
Remember though, everyone on the team gets the same amount of experience from the team game, and the total number of experience is determined by how well your team does (as well as by winning!).

So the guys who are hanging back and finishing low are still helping the team and ensuring more experience for all - including themselves.

I spent a good chunk of time in our Nottingham base when we got down real low in that first round.

Standard meet up times (for whenever you have the opportunity):

Tuesdays 6pm PST

Saturdays 6pm PST

Sundays 6pm PST

(Monday Jan 29th: Times adjusted slightly in favor of the ESTeemed)

Suggestions suggest(!) that creating parties and going into ranked games together would be the preferred thing to do for the meet ups. So no longer do the first one to get online create a room but instead invite everyone to a party. This however makes it very important that you're all a part of the NeoGAF clan (pm kaching with details, make sure you've logged on to Resistance online at least once before) or simply have all folks listed above on your friend list. Again, the first one to get online should start a party and invite the others as they come online.

Also, it has come to my attention that over 20 people have started to show up for these meetups and that means one party is not enough. If that is the case then one of you simply need to create a second party. If you're the party leader (of either) then posting your details in this thread would be helpful.



The Wedge tactic explained:

Remy said:
The "flying wedge" is the term given to our tendency to mob together in a violent swarm and shoot the everliving hell out of anyone who dares get near us. It leads to multiple assists per kill which leads to a 20-60% increase in points. 16 points for a kill is far better than 10!

It does not, despite its name, resemble a true flying wedge - although generally whoever is at the front of the pack will get gunned down while those behind break through and destroy the opposition. So maybe it's not completely inaccurate.

I forget who came up with the term in context. Wasn't my idea, although I seem to be the Preacher Of All That Is Wedge-like.



Also people, it would be a big plus if everyone invested in a headset. For headset details and recommendations, follow this link. Good group play is helped by using your headset to report in changes that occur in the heat of battle. Enemy groups, Snipers, Node status and so forth.

A great addition
was made to http://www.myresistance.net on Monday Feb 5th in the form of leaderboards viewable straight from the site. It's time to get famous or die trying.

Actually, Click said the other night that he did earn XP from playing unranked games. I have not confirmed this myself (but Click is a supreme commander, so he has a lot of XP). My bad. :/ I'll go change this in my earlier post. I geuss this could be checked by playing an unranked game and checking your stats before and after to see if your 'XP to level' stat has changed any. I had gotten the earlier information from the MP help guide, which suggests only ranked games gives XP.

If you play with us, your rank is going to shoot through the roof. A few GAFers are quite awesome, so when they're on a roll, everyone benefits.

Having said that, the entire clan contributes to the XP earned. Also, everyone seems to have their on/off nights. I'm hoping tonight will be an on night for me.

I don't know if it changes your ranking, but I think some of the medals can only be earned by playing unranked games. I've seen some of the game modes only in the unranked games (e.g. conversion and CTF).

I have played conversion and CTF in ranked games before (but, never with the clan). However, it is extremely rare. The first time I played conversion I was confused when I couldn't respawn, since every time I selected FFA it ended up being a DM. The only unranked games I've played in was sunday night with the clan.

Unranked games do give you XP but Ranked games are worth much much more.

Possibly adding to this confusion is the fact that we found a server-side score processing bug where if you are in an unranked game for less than 30 minutes, you don't get any XP (or something like that). We've got a fix in testing.

Yikes....that would definitely be the problem for me. I play unranked and bounce from game to game after each round rarely staying in a game more than 2 rounds.

He's pretty good. We were playing in a 5 on 10 team deathmatch last night and he was able to keep a 2-1 (or close to that) kills to death ratio. Then again it was sad that both rounds almost timed out. Those guys had numbers but they certainly weren't that skilled.
