It really hit me when I was playing a match with randoms. Every person I downed, I would hear a teammate on the mic saying, to another teammate, "Danny, quickly get the special execution before he gets it" (he meaning me). So, naturally, I begin to race him to the special executions. Near the end of the match I hear the guy with the mic say "Ah, damn, Danny, it doesn't look like you'll be able to save your clan, you still need a couple of special executions. There's no chance now" and my heart sank. This is the brutality that players are experiencing in many of their matches, and it changes the way they play entirely.

The multiplayer is actually pretty fun from what I've played, but it's a shame there aren't more modes. I'd love for some more objective-based modes and especially co-op.
Also, the fact that there is no host migration is incredibly disappointing and frustrating if you are even remotely into the metagame aspect of it. Seems weird they didn't have this in the MP considering both Uncharted 2 and 3 had host migration. *shrug*

Thank you!! I seriously googled before posting but must have missed it. Bad timing to try out the multiplayer for the first time -_-

Fill in your stuff. Then exit (it autosaves for those who aren't familiar with Google Docs).

Someone who knows how should make a new google doc but only make it viewable by quoting.
edit:
Didly can you revert back to a non-messed up version or no?
NaughtyDogs should definitely give bonus parts for winning or 4-0ing the whole rounds.
You get about 200 bonus parts for being the last one alive and make sure you go to the supply box because you will get ALL THE GOOD STUFF to take down all your enemies if you're outnumber.
I joined a bit late so I cannot, but I've organized it and created a new one and will manually put names in that I see in this thread.
I'll do most of this when I get home later today. And maybe I'll start a thread surrounding it a bit later if someone doesn't beat me to it.
Edit: If you guys can be civil for long enough, here it is: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Avc4k2dmSL5mdENNZWdSVjNYZ2l1a04wLTlZOHBQamc&usp=sharing
Hopefully, we can get people to add to the list in an organized fashion. Once I add the people from the past 21 pages - feel free to help lol, I'll curate it personally so people can't delete it...
It seems I'm the only one who totally ignores the meta game and just plays for fun and to win. Oh well everyone plays their own way. Please add me as I'd rather play with you guys than with randoms. I play mostly at night and heavily on late Friday night through the early am.

So I did a bit of 'experimenting', and it seems that you only get punished for disconnects when they are not of your own making.
I get kicked > Clan ruined.
Host leaves > Clan ruined.
Cut off my own connection > Clan is fine, mission stats are as if nothing happened.
So, yeah. That's a bit backwards, isn't it? Has ND commented on this yet?

IN ORDER TO VIEW THE LINK, "QUOTE" ME. IT WILL SHOW UP IN YOUR REPLY BOX BETWEEN THE EMAIL TAGS.
The Official NeoGAF TLOU MP List is here.
I've saved a copy. Right now, anyone can edit it. We'll see how long it can stay in one cohesive piece.
If it get's deleted, I'm taking away global editing access and will simply add PSN tags when I see them here.
Also, I might start a thread just so we can get more people! So keep a look out.

Edit: Sorry, didn't know about the members-only email trick until now. Truthfully, it may be too complicated for some so I might just go back to the public list.

I'd say you should close session from XMB as soon as you see that the screen goes black and wants to bring yo back to the online menu saying you lost connection. It wont transfer the data. I did it once: it said that i had hungry and sick people, i think i closed the game with the xmb prompt and it didn't save. So i'm assuming logging off psn won't save it either

They really need to fix the problem when a host leaves a match you get a 0 on your progress for that day. I just got to week 6 and im risking %100 of my population and the first 2 matches the host quits, leaving me with 1 day left to do everything if the host stays the game.
It doesn't help that people are boosting trophies by disconnecting hampering the experience for everyone. That's the main reason why MP trophies shouldn't exist.
Jest Chillin

Boosting isn't even necessary for the trophies though. As long as you have even 1 person left in your clan after 12 weeks, you get the trophy. I think they're more likely doing it for the Leaderboards. Which shouldn't exist either since the top scores are nearly always hacked anyways.
There is a way to hide the link by quoting so only members can access it but I'm not informed how to apply it, maybe a fellow GAFfer wants to help.

Well the link is out in the world already but the way to hide links/codes/whatever is to put them in the Email tags I believe. Then people have to quote to reveal.

Good lord this shit is good. Last two games have both been over 6200 parts easily. Just finished my 12th week with 96 survivors so I got all the unlocks too.

That's really stupid. You would have thought ND learned from the whole Uncharted 3 quitting fiasco (which they finally fixed). Not having host migration in a game like this is just incredibly silly in general.

At the end of a game your parts get converted to those ration things I think (whatever they're called). Do you lose parts if you buy something during the game (ie armor and ammo)?
It isn't necessary but it can prevent a 100% threat to wipe out your clan by disconnecting.

well two DLC packs are already guaranteed, as you get them alone with a single player DLC episode with the season pass. Really loving the multiplayer, I can't stop playing it. May be the first season pass I'm glad I bought.

The blue cans represent "Supplies" and no you don't lose them. Your ending part balance is the combined amount you've received during the game regardless of what you spend.
Awesome. Quite a few players.

I approve this list.
Awesome, I just updated my listing.
I'll use a mic as long as those on the other end can bare listening to my voice.
Now we need to start setting in motion a GAF tournament...
So I guess Downtown is universally hated xD
Mine is
High School
University
Bill's Town
Dam
Checkpoint
Lakeside
Downtown
The only one I haven't tried is Downtown but I certainly approve of the rest.
This is crappy though, you basically leave your team hanging without a player. If you're dgoing poorly...keep playing and get better? These workarounds ruin the game, and are poor practice. Stop doing it, please.
This is exactly what I was complaining earlier, boosting affects the enjoyment of other people specially in a game like this.

Then it is completely broken. I've had so many matches where someone would quit out, and then the match would end. Why didn't it switch to another host?

Need two for my party. Anyone want to join?
I'm pretty sure I've one hit killed guys in armor with molotovs before. Is it possible his armor got shrugged off by a bullet hit and the molotov missed (barely?). I know the hit detection on molotovs can be a bit wonky at times.
I actually never play multi (my Internet is super spotty) but I had to play this one because I love the game so much. So hopefully I'll get better haha. Otherwise people are gonna be all "oh man, Leeness is trying to play, everyone sign off :/".
Haha
