Uncharted 3 |OT| All Developers Dream, But Not Equally

Hey guys what new item does Flynn have? I tried to check it out a few weeks ago but it kept telling me I needed to purchase him again and when I went to activate it it wouldn't let me.

He didn't get anything new.

For the longest time you could just quit when you were having a bad game and not get credit for anything that happened in the match, including kills, deaths, or even a loss.

I don't know about everybody else in his party, but FAB is also known for camping with a party in TDM quite a bit, so he'll end up with stats that don't exactly represent his skill level.

MXRIX is 5th in kills and 9th in wins. LOL.

Apparently you can get banned for boosting/farming trophies and Hunter treasure sets:

http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/News-and-Announcements/Multiplayer-Bans/m-p/38114329#M623

I wonder if farming treasures in Co-op Adventure (exploiting the checkpoint system to suicide and farm kickback bosses) is a bannable offense as well?

There's no way to prove someone was treasure farming unless someone you're playing with records it with a PVR.

Uncharted 3.

There really is no other explanation.

Of course there is, you will have more deaths than usual in your stats.

People also use Hunter to boost trophies and treasures, since ND is obviously incompetent to implement late join & host migration.

I guess ND should have a look at this thread as well:
http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/un...9-trophy-boosting-thread-read-first-post.html

A good portion of the player pool risks getting banned...

ps: For some strange reason they refuse to ban account sharers, although it's against the PSN ToS.
 
So what makes this game's MP worthy of the Uncharted name? It's not gameplay because of the big focus on loadouts, crazy boosters and a low focus on traversal. The characters aren't it with the goofy customizations and lack of personality. It's not match types aside from plunder because nothing seems adventurous or treasure huntery. The game just feels awful.

It's still not valid proof.

If ND didn't implement this fucking ridiculous treasure system, we wouldn't have this problem. It should have been time or XP based.

What may that strange reason be?

You missed the point... I never said that they should ban people who farm trophies/treasures.

I don't care, as long as they don't ruin anyone's experience (like wall hackers) and they don't brag about their achievements. Morn_JP was stupid enough to brag about the fact that he was the first to reach Level 5/Legacy 5 in the world.

Some people even farm boosters when they get split... is it ethical to ban them just because ND is incompetent to fix the party split bug?

It seems to me that their priorities are just messed up. They even said that fixing Chloe's hair is a "high priority" bug. :|

Ah, ok, got ya. Thanks. I hope someone finds a way to address these type of issues in the future. I go out of my way to taunt people in Awesomenauts who bail when they were taunting all game, until they lose at which point they bail at the last minute. They're the worst.
 
I was just saying they wouldn't be able to ban for that because there's no way to prove it, regardless of it being "cheating".
Are you really sure about that?

Typical Hunter boosting session:

PlayerA
PlayerA(1)

VS

PlayerB
PlayerB(1)

You can farm Assassin medals (there's a trophy for that) and get treasures as well.

I'm positive. Split-screeners meet all the time in Hunter.

Who would be looking through your match history anyways? Only two people, who are also the ones doing the farming, know about it.

It's not enough evidence for a ban. Lots of people that own the game suck at hunter, let alone someone who has never played before (your split-screen friend).
 
I guess you haven't read the MP bans thread in the PSF... some people are nosy and they check everyone's stats.

Why do you think that so many people from France got banned? It's because there's a lot of backstabbing going on in the French community, lol. Even death threats, suicide threats and stuff like that.

My point is that a simple screenshot is enough evidence for ND to ban someone.

ps: You can also check what medals and how many of them someone got in a particular match.

Illuminaughty and I (the rest of our party varied a bit) ran into her party like nearly every week for a while, and won pretty much every game (I think we lost once).

I still have the messages she sent me after I lated joined a randoms TDM and was put on a team losing by about 20 kills, then she rage quit after I helped my team make a comeback/ruined her KDR.

I actually read the whole thread lol. Those people are just jealous of others, with their hate probably fueled by trash talk in game. 3TDM boosting is also blatantly obvious; just a scoreboard screenshot is enough evidence.

I don't think anyone cares about Co-op or treasures. I can't see anyone being banned because of that. Also, Arena/Adventure farming is done in custom games -- they can't ban you for something you did in a custom(?).

Stats from a treasure based Hunter farm will always look legit. Hell, you can technically "farm" playing solo; just camp chests near the action and you'll always get them because where they open is based on player proximity. I'm not sure about something like farming Assassins though.

LMFAO. Some people take this game way too seriously.

EDIT2:

Looks like we're getting more colours for customization

Eric-ND said:
We haven't been giving excuses; we gave you our reasons for the colors but you want more options. That's cool. I can just say this is happening but after patch 1.15 comes out. Yes, patch 1.15. More details on everything as they can be shared.

It'd be stupid if they ban Co-Op farmers. Really... How would farming Co-Op modes hurt other players? No one farms public (except Hunter, but that's only 4 consenting players meeting each other - not like people even play the mode).

I've done co-op Chateau/Village farming before and I'm not ashamed of it. Co-Op Arena treasures are freakin ludicrous. You play 40 minutes for 2 drops and the vast majority of the the time they are duplicates. That is by far the most difficult becausee even Hardcore drops only require about 10-15 minute games.

Call me paranoid but I think they only care about this now because it could potentially cut into their sales.

I need to research this treasure-farming idea. I love the treasures in U3's multi, but they don't pop nearly enough.

Trophy farming also sounds like a good idea, since some of those look unpossible.

OMG, I missed my chance in getting the two treasure sets trophies for free!?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I bet ND is going to do something to get them removed for those who didn't earn them properly.

Congratulations, you've finally managed to successfully link an image this time!

Here's a tip:

Upload them to imgur instead of hot linking them from other sites. ;)

Eveyrone started doing that thanks to uncharted TV

Before everyone was using the old gun and run technique ..

yea I saw that also...didn't think they would actually let that be uploaded. Thats like leaving a message to people on MW2(back in the day) about the noobtube/OMA thing.

Uhh.... have I tried before?



I do this for images from my computer, but why when I'm posting something already on the internet?

Real talk though NeoGAF is pretty strict about what image sites you can link to because some will use porn to try and deter hotlinkers. I'm not sure if the one you posted is allowed but I know for sure imgur and abload.de are allowed.
 
Being optimistic now, are we? :p

You're talking to the guy who guessed the gun prices before the patch even came out.
Nah, I just don't think that a single colour is worth more than 25 cents.

Guns and accessories have gameplay value (mods/perks), so they are worth more.

@Mikey

Entirely new maps need months of work and ND is focused on TLOU for the most part. We will just get more Lab maps, since they are easier to make.

Double Cash Weekend + New Lab.

Double Cash Weekend (US Holiday – Labor Day)

Start: Friday, August 31, at 12:00 PM PDT or 19:00 GMT/UTC

End: Tuesday, September 4, at 12:00 PM PDT or 19:00 GMT/UTC

In addition to being able to earn extra cash this weekend we’re pushing out a new lab. 5 versus 5 Team Death Match with SAS-12 Shotgun and Mag 5 only arrives this Friday. So keep your body low and aim for your opponent’s head to pile on the money this weekend.

We’ll be having more Double Cash weekends centered on all kinds of different holidays and whatnots as the year progresses. Be sure to check the calendar on your stats page for this and other events in Uncharted 3 multiplayer. See you online!
This new lab doesn't do anything for me, but I'll try it...I fucking hated shotguns only lab in UC2.

HEY ND:

How about making a RARE treasure drop weekend instead of cash next time!?

How much were the golden guns in UC2?

New lab AKA "Mag-5 until you run out of ammo, then switch to the SAS because it's trash compared to the Mag".

Double Cash is nice for those who are leveling up.

I was about to say they're not going to do increased treasures or whatever because it would cut into their profits, but....

RodrigoUFC said:
Eric, what about a “Treasures Day” or “Treasures Week”? I mean, improved drop rate for all treasures and modes. Will that ever happen?

Eric-ND said:
Yeah, we’ve discussed this and think it’s a good idea. Might happen.

If you're in it for the cash, play Crushing Arena.

Yeah, but I need people to play with. Good people I should say. Plus I don't particularly enjoy the co-op. I'm sure you can make a lot of cash in those modes, but I guess I would rather just spend my time playing the competitive, even if it does mean less cash.

Also, had ND ever said that legacy 5 is the last legacy? I want to start getting gold boosters on legacy 5, but also don't want them to get wiped with a new legacy.

I always get the most cash when I play solo and manage to find players willing to play Crushing Arena.

You can add me if you want; I'm down for anything other than standard TDM (yeah even Hunter lol).
 
I plan to play A LOT of Co-Op Arena Crushing with this double cash weekend going on. I want to buy back all of the stuff I lost with my reset.

Hopefully I get good mates in public and the map isn't London Streets or Oasis.

Sure, whats your PSN?

Also, this double exp thing is pretty fucking sweet. I'm getting a few 50k games, but mostly around 45k. Going up whole legacy-4 levels in like 2 games. It is awesome.

If you guys wanna go up a legacy level, do it this weekend. You will zip by it quick. God damn.
