What's that, 20 without dying?

Yep! Got 23.

Well they need to sort the MM out generally. We shouldn't have to worry about being matched against people from China, but I do. I have to watch the bars and back out if they're 2.
Heck, even a 3 bar on this game seems to mean they could be anywhere up to 400ms or so in latency. 2 bars signal white plugs, skating, teleporting, downed killing, the potential onset of all sorts of glitches, and generally a match that is completely and utterly unplayable. You should never be matched with 2 bars.
They should remove Remnants and Pirate Colony from the game and replace them with other maps, and I'm being totally serious. They make me want to close the game.
They're absolute trash and are making me want to stop playing this game, especially Remnants. I can't stand that piece of crap.

Remnants is the worst map in the game. The spawns are awful. You spawn a good 100 feet away from your allies, with enemies between you. Horrendous for TDM. It also has a possibility of crashing while in the caves, and the framerate can drop horrendously, also while in the caves.
I think it might be fun in plunder but I don't play that mode on this iteration. Either way, the map is garbage because of its technical issues alone. Got a loss penalty in ranked TDM on remnants because it crashed when we were at 31-10 (my team winning). Shouldn't be in rotation.
I'm quite fond of Pirate Colony though, what do you hate about it?
Negotiator
Member
Yeah, lag and fixing app crashes (dat penalty) should be a priority.
Regarding framerate issues, I'm not sure if they can do anything about it. This game seems to be as optimized as it gets on the OG PS4. Maybe PS4 Neo could help, who knows...
Are there any official fps measurements for Remnants?
Chronospherics

I don't think so, but the issues are very specific to certain areas of the caves, so they could probably remedy them by removing some element of the visual effects that perhaps cause those performance issues. Not sure if it's lighting, reflections, or something like that, but the framerate can die to an extent far beyond what I've seen on other maps.
I think it might also be what causes the crashes on remnants, because they also happen when I am in the caves. The last two crashes I experienced on remnants occurred when I threw an indra in a the cave. Not sure if the events are related.
Yea, same here but it got boring eventually. At some point you want to go another direction with another gun.
Extremely convoluted, weird, nonsensical layout. I think it could've been one of the best maps -visuals and setting are nice, some ideas like the ship and the rain are cool- but as it turned out, the best definition is mess.

They really need to fix the friend list bug... I'd rather not do a mass delete.

Aaaaaand I'm done with this game.
2000 relics for ONE shitty paletteswap skin? Go fuck yourselves, ND.
I'll check out co-op whenever they release it just to see how they'll fuck that up too.
Never before have I played a MP that got continually worse with each installment and iteration. Congrats on being kings of Shitopia ND, long may you reign.

Yeah, the DLC chests are seriously fucked relic cost-wise.
I just recently unlocked all the gameplay DLC items through the chests and I'm not sure if I'm even gonna bother spending my relics on the DLC vanity chests now as I bought the skins I wanted with the Uncharted Coins I got with the Explorer's pack. Better to just wait for the next DLC update and spend my relics on the new DLC instead lol.

I've hit the relic cap, so I may just not play until the next gameplay DLC comes out. I mean, I could probably log on, do the challenge, and purchase a hero weapon every other day or so, but I don't really see the point. The sad thing is I'll only end up with half of the gameplay dlc that first day because of how shitty the relic cap is.

Not playing the single-player DLC? That's un-American! We know it's gonna be great.

Well, of course I will, the SP is made by people that actually know what the fuck they're doing.
Who knows when that'll release though... I'm not expecting it until the first half of next year.

It depends. Some people didn't like Left Behind.

Yeah, honestly, I'm getting pretty close to just giving up. I realized yesterday that I wasn't really playing it for fun, but more to knock out the three challenges I had. I'm not even sure why I'm wasting time trying to stockpile relics, as the crap that you get from spending them is pretty underwhelming and overall not worth the time that it takes to unlock them.
This multiplayer was fun when it launched, but through unbalanced updates and that horrible skill-based matchmaking it's quickly dying. I haven't had a decent match with balanced teams in a week or so -- it's either easy-street steamrolling, or an impossible-to-win, carry-your-team uphill battle.
Really a shame -- I loved the beta, and I loved this around launch, but it's getting progressively worse as time goes on.

Yep. I don't think I want to reward the current state of the game by giving it my time anymore.

It will be interesting to see how many people have played at least once after the next leaderboard reset...

Man, they need to release team objective quick
If it's not coming, Im off this game too. I enjoy it,I really do, but Rainbow 6 is my shooter of choice, and with titanfall and battlefield coming, Im ready to move on

What are you and everyone else expecting from Team Objective? Command essentially fits the bill in a concise manner and I truly believe ND see that as the Objective Mode.

TO offered more modes/variety. Command is a poor man's TO with some welfare thrown in.
Stallion Dan

It'll probably be £12/$15 like Left Behind and be equally lacking in content and length.
Frankly they can ditch Command when TO releases. Turf War and Marked Man are everything Command provides.

Nothing has universal appeal, not even food or sex lol. But the overwhelming majority liked Left Behind.
Why hoard relics when you can just casually buy more NDP you reckless fool?!
Quality > quantity, every time.

I always forget that about Hero Weapons lol. GTFO about Left Behind blasphemy. Best SP DLC ever made!

I enjoyed Left Behind, but I got it free for some reason. I don't know if it was a Plus thing or if it just came with the PS4 version. I can't say how I'd feel if I had paid $15.
I won't be getting this game's DLC unless it is standalone. I already sold my copy after the MP got shitty.

Not as deep as he thinks
Command wishes it was even HALF as good as Team Objective. I doubt ND sees that mode as the only true objective mode because in it's current state, it's pretty mediocre.
Command is basically merry go round and it's the worst part about it. It plays nothing like team obj whatsoever.
In team objective in case you forgot had:
Chain reaction - capture five zones in order 1-5 with all 5 zones using the entire map
Turf War - maintain control of zones (I believe it was 3), which is basically what command tries to be, but fails.
King of the Hill - capture one hill and remain inside to score points. The more people that were inside the hill, the more points you'd get.
Marked Man - kill the enemy VIP 3 times to win the round, which is sorta like the awful captain system in command only better.
Treasure Hunter - hold the idol to score points (up to 300) to win the round.
Deathmatch - whichever team kills the most wins the round.
Best 3 out of 3 would win a team Objective match and let me tell you, it was incredible. Best mode uncharted MP has ever had. it's where IMO true skill came into play for UC3. One of the best parts about the mode is that since the objectives were scattered throughout the whole map, every part of the map was used which was great. There weren't any empty abandoned spots where you'd find no activity like you would in other modes like TDM.
writing about it makes me miss it so fucking much.

Almost all of this stuff doesn't work with Mysticals/Sidekicks added into the mix. If they don't want to have modes without them, which they've said they don't, then I don't see how they can add these modes with the current game/map structure.
Negotiator
Member
Well, maybe it could work in a 4v4 setup, just like Plunder.
If Command is ND's "vision" about the "definitive" objective mode, then it's a pretty poor one at that...
Okay, weird question but there's some MP banter from Orca and Knot where they call people "China" in the MP, some examples here ("Thanks China", "Sorry China, you're done")
Is this some South African slangterm?

They're basically saying "Mate"... because it rhymes with China plate.

I have found a way to lag without getting the white plug at all... ND, you need to tighten up the netcode.

Haha, I thought they were saying Jonah, wondering who the fuck Jonah was.
Noooo.. don't nerf my pistole... I don't even use that combo due to the cheapness. But I do kind of used to slow ability and cheat with that as well.

ND needs to do something about lag... the competition is hard this year.

I don't think they view Overwatch (or COD or Destiny) as competition. By the literal definition they are, but there's very few single-platform casual TPS to compare Uncharted to.
Negotiator

Some people have started playing Overwatch instead of UC4 MP. Regarding single-platform casual TPS, there's Splatoon...
Btw, today I saw some crazy shit... mid-match 3 people in my team lost their bars (WTF? NAT 3 all of a sudden?), another one was kicked from the enemy team and I saw the white plug for a couple of seconds (I guess I lost connectivity to the host during host migration, since my ping was fine).
ps: My NAT is Open according to CoD & AC MP. ND should add a NAT indicator in UC4 MP.
