Has anyone played post-patch? How are things? I'm gonna hop on a bit later but I was having trouble finding games yesterday.

Seen this happen so many times now. Never remember this happening on PS3.This happened last night:
People just like to complain about everything instead of realizing they're the problem.

Too little too late. Got my other Gold Trophy last night. Once a major netcode patch comes out I might jump back in. I got tired of being shot around corners.

holy smokes, tried to load up some multiplayer after work and the game was unplayable from the lag, what is going on? I heard some lag complaints earlier in the week but was never really affected by it now me and all my friends have been experiencing it and its been pretty tragic.
Just had an awesome come from behind win in supply raid. Went 8-11-1 with only two other teammates... But after the game ended, it went straight to lobby and I gained zero survivors and still on Day 1.
Am I just glitched now?
Edit: Nevermind, host must have dashboarded. Played another game and my day progressed.

So, there's a lot of people upset with last of us and the DLC issue... the boosters and weapons were one thing, and there were even articles by Gamespot on the cosmetic DLC complaints. But now people are really focused on making the map DLC free, because ND promised a unified player pool...
On the forums, videos like this are being upvoted, while this dedicated thread has gotten a lot of steam/votes to keep the maps free.
I'm hoping Naughty Dog changes their mind

Having trouble WANTING to play the MP any more. I have fast internet but extreme lag. I could tolerate the lag if it were intermittent or in half or LESS of the matches. But as it stands I get crazy lag almost every match. The straw that is breaking the camel's back for me is the Shiv glitch. I canNOT shiv people for some reason. My Shiv/Triangle indicator just flashes when I press triangle...repeatedly, until the person turns around and easily kills me. I suppose I could just NOT shiv people but I like to and this is game breaking for me. What's worse is my smokebombs are somehow recovered from in as little as a second. Even if they don't recover that fast I STILL CANT SHIV THEM!

Was much quicker for me tonight.
Agreed. ND looks really shitty right now. Broken ass multiplayer more than a week after launch, dlc everywhere, and more to come. They're my favorite dev but they're definitely nickel and diming the shit out of their fan base right now. I expected better of them.
There is something amiss with their multiplayer team. That sense of pride in their product that the SP team deliver on just dissipates. I loved Uncharted 2's MP, because the core gameplay (which the SP team designed) is so great. The MP team eventually ruined that by messing with that core and changing player health. They made that same mistake with Uncharted 3, also ruining and changing it from its Beta and MP preview.
But Naughty Dog is known for pushing the envelope, and the MP team is no different, even when they are going in the wrong direction. Naughty Dog, when I payed full price day-one for your game a second time, I thought that it was the 'all-in' edition. Ok, maybe I don't get access to 20% of all of the games' weapons, or 30% of all of its skills, but at least I get to play the game for its natural lifespan with everyone else who also wants to do that. More paid DLC just fucks that novel concept up. Heck, isn't there going to be more weapon DLC too?
If they want to split the community further I'm ready to move on.
It's Naughty Dog's only true failing, IMHO. I don't think I've played any other MP game that consistently broke up teams, hung up pre-match, or froze post-match than Naughty Dog MP games. It's fucking sad. But I love them SO much.

Uncharted 3's MP was some of the most fun I've ever had online. I don't think they ruined anything there.
These microtransactions in TLOU don't bother me much. Annoying? Sure. But no gamebreaking. Aside from the Enforcer, there isn't a clear advantage in any of the weapons or abilities. Sucks that we can't have access to it without paying for it but not that big a deal. The gameplay is still fun. Aside from the hit detection latency.

I must be in the minority.
The maps aren't going to be free and I'm cool with that. Not because I don't think they should be free, but because buying a season pass doesn't entitle us to every piece of DLC ever released.

The season pass ordeal is not the issue here. Naughty Dog is in the wrong.

How is ND in the wrong here? Just because another developer decided to release free maps doesn't mean that everyone had to do it.
I'm not defending the idea of releasing paid maps, I should be really upset since I'll be playing this far past the release of destiny which is everyone's next MP game, but I'm not. I just don't understand why this is such a big deal, that's all.

It's not that GG is doing free maps either: A big selling point of the game was a unified player pool. They talked about how one pool= better matchmaking, faster matchmaking, etc.
No one has a problem with a multiplayer game being monetized with map packs. But a re-release of a year old game? That's when people get a little upset.
Now they want to give us more maps that will hurt both those who do buy it and those who don't. Matchmaking will get worse, games will get laggier.
This is on top of charging for on-disc, old content, which they technically got away with because they never advertised it for the Remastering.

This is the biggest problem I'm having with it. As far as I know its only two new maps, so that makes it even worse. They are going to split the playerbase for two maps... Why? I do want more maps because I love this multi and want to play it for awhile, but splitting the player base is pretty bad for the game over all.

I can't help it. I just love stalking someone all over the map just so I can place that piece of sharp metal in that sweet jugular vein.
I was shivving A LOT though. Love the executioner perk.

I don't like this MP at all, I'm just not used to a slow pace. I have a feeling I'm going to burn myself out doing these trophies for factions, because if I get to Week 12 and lose everyone, nerd rage inc.
Hate multiplayer trophies
Two tips to make things easier.
1: Heal(First Aid training 2) you can get 50 heals a game if the team is good(that's more than you need on the hardest tier), save all Heal challenges for 100% risk.
2: If you're playing alone don't be afraid to "Close Application" it doesn't count as a day if you do that.
If you do these two things above it's almost impossible to lose all survivors.
It's not just the avoiding 100% loss though. The first target is still 60% loss. Even if you ace it you're still losing 20% :/
So? From my understanding, the less people, the better, since it operates on percentages.
So scavenger 2 doesn't automatically give you the supplies - you still have to run over them?
Love your explanation of your loadout btw
Don't you need a certain population by the end to unlock stuff? Don't know if the trophies have any population requirement other than 'survive'
I don't think that's a by the end thing though. So you could ramp up to that number then let yo peeps die for efficiency.
Lord of Castamere
Member
Yeah it is. You need 85 survivors at the end of week 12 to unlock the Skull mask which means you need around 110 when the last 20% are cut. You only need to survive both 'journeys' and 40 survivors total for the trophies.

That's the final trophy you unlock for platinuming every game on PSN.

Playing this with randoms really really sours my enjoyment. It's not so much about rolling with a team that wins all the time, but randoms do the stupidest things sometimes. Some act like they don't know how to revive at all. Some run off solo and get shot up by the opposing team that's rolling as a group. Really pisses me off. lol

Yeah I had some bad team experiences yesterday. It was quite the opposite though, When I sneaked around to flank the enemy, my team rushed to the middle and got killed instantly. We lost 4-0 and I was the only one with any downs/executions.

Solo is such a slot machine. I've had my best and worst matches in solo. The best possible outcome is getting a team that sucks while going against a team that sucks.

Correct.
Thanks. And you still think that is worth 4 points? I guess the double ammo is pretty useful too..
Hmmm how about silenced enforcer, damage marker 1, covert 2, hawk eye 3? The covert lets you more easily get around the flanks of enemies, and the silenced enforcer keeps you off the radar as you light up the bad guys for everyone? I need one more loadout point though for that (or could go silenced 9mm for now)

Personally, no because those are points that could be used for other skills. It's up to you. Handgun ammo is pretty inexpensive, anyway.
The double-barrel shotgun costs one point as well if you need a secondary weapon.

I know that feel.
Luckily the game after I managed to heal all my sick and hungry and claw back some clan members.

I think they changed it so that 13 points happen at old 12 point, 12 points at old 11 and so on. 13 is no longer at 7500 afaik.
