Support NeoGAF

[gcubed]

I'm not saying you shouldn't get points for defense, but not a full 100% more than what we attackers get. And they should swap the big points from "saving the flag" to "killing the dude with the flag", that way only the guy who has actually done anything gets the points, ie. you and not Tarregan Grabbing the flag can often be very easy, but no easier, and no harder than littering the place with mines - the two should get 5 points a piece, 10 points for either one of them is too much, 10 points for one and not the other is just mental.

Also, support gets practically no reward for it's efforts. I don't know how you'd fix that, but they have it worst of all.

the reward is that warm fuzzy feeling you get inside that no matter what the score says, your role was greatly appreciated in the overall scheme of things. Hey, if i can help get a flag back to base, or run down a flag carrier while someone is in our base waiting with teh enemy flag, i'm happy to do it, points be damned

Stat whores are lesser versions of Achievement whores. ;p

YOU PLAY... TO WIN... THE GAME

I'd like to have the customization from getting stats, if it's for nothing I wouldn't care. I'm not playing right now since my character keeps resetting to default.. hope that gets fixed.

Character customisation is the only annoying aspect of these stats being all over the place, I spent time making my character.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Oh god.

Some of the f@cking brain dead playing this game.

Driving past enemy vehicles.

Gathering weapons, but not using them.

STILL NOT ATTACKING ENEMY VEHICLES CAPTURING ZONES / FLAGS.

I want to just get on the mic and start screaming at them like the Drill Sergeant in Full Metal Jacket.

 

[User 406]

Once again, the real reward you get for playing as a team is a win. Fuck the stats. You keep playing, you'll advance in points and rank naturally (assuming Incog fixes it. ) I don't escort flag carriers gritting my teeth over how many rank points I'm not getting compared to the carrier or people on the other team. I don't capture/recover the flag because it gives me more points. I do these things because that's how you win. Seriously, they don't need to "fix" the scoring because anyone who is concerned enough about score to worry about it during a team game isn't being a team player. Do what needs doing, see what goodies you got afterwards.

Yixian, since you say "we attackers", I have to wonder if you play much defense? Give it a try if you don't.

 

[Geoff9920]

Just downloaded the game this morning, but it sounds like I should wait till Incog gets things straightened out before playing. Am I wrong?

If you already paid and downloaded it, just play. It can be a bit of a hassle, but you can still have some fun

Oh please do, except not to me because I am living in Texas and thats one of his best lines of the whole movie.


Has anyone been trying to host servers in the last couple of days and been getting frequent network errors? I hosted a server the second night of the game being out and it was up for 15 hours, now I can't hit an hour.

The only things that they need to straighten out are the server full messages and the rank/stat problems. You can still have a ton of fun playing, just jump on a GAF server and have at it. My stats have been frozen since the 30th and it's not stopping me from having a lot of great games. Just played some team deathmatch on one of the SCEA servers with a team that communicated and helped each other out, lots of fun.

 

[GoncaloCCastro]

I've been trying for the last half an hour to log in but I can't, this happened right after the 1.92 update.

 

[Miguel]

Is anyone actually playing right now?

Turn the PS3 off then back on. Worked for me

Thing is, I'm more of an offensive player. I get antsy waiting around, I prefer to go in fast and hard and die. XD

Already tried it, no go. I will try again in a few minutes.

Ah, ok. I haven't had much time to look through the thread and just skimmed it and saw complaints of team killing/stat problems and my paranoia kicked in. Thanks for the replies guys.

Community features leave alot to be desired and getting in a game would test the patience of a saint, but the game is so amazing the pain and anguish is worth it.

btw first thing do a local game on your own for about an hour customise the controls to your liking and whatnot diving in an online game head first will get you WTFPWNED.

Make sure to use pro flight controls in the options, there is nothing better than weaving through the hills upside down.

The things you listed above aren't important.

If you go into a server & see someone with the name "Click" get out! Get out fast! :lol

Grabbing the flag can often be very easy, but no easier, and no harder than littering the place with mines - the two should get 5 points a piece, 10 points for either one of them is too much, 10 points for one and not the other is just mental.

Err...littering the place with mines isn't what gets you 10 points. Standing on the flag for 15-20 seconds is what gets you 10 points. That's an ETERNITY in this game against any team who has their act together. Attackers get 5 points for simply running over the flag, instantaneously, even if it turns out to be a kamikaze run, and it resets the timer on the flag return which delays the defender's 10 pt reward potentially indefinitely if the attacking team keeps this up. Which they have in a number of CTF games I've played.

Also, support gets practically no reward for it's efforts. I don't know how you'd fix that, but they have it worst of all.

If support is doing their job well, then they there should be a fair number of opportunities for them to score points - no just killing enemies but also picking up the flag and continuing to base if the previous carrier bites it. Support is also more of a rotating role, allowing one to score points based on both offensive and defensive opportunities.

What does using the pro flight controls add/change?

Also, I made a room for myself early this morning to test out the flight controls and using the sixaxis controls would take some serious getting used to. Although I did like the fact that I could aim the machine gun while flying in a different direction.

It allows you more freedom of motion. You cannot go upside down with regular controls and you also can't maneuver as well which includes running away and avoiding missiles. It does take a bit of practice though since you are in full control. After a while you should find boosting + pro flight controls come in very handy for staying alive.

 

[Steroyd]

Wankers.

I don't get it.

So that's why I saw a mass of teamkills ages ago.

Better control over your warhawk, you have more manuevarability in the air, when doing loop de loops and barrel rolls, and you can shake off enemies easier, just flick between the option to see what I mean.

 

[peacemountain]

My stats didn't update since September 2nd...

 

[Aleman]

My stats got reset last night, I miss my pretty looking Warhawks

 

[Steroyd]

You too, I'm almost scared to customize my character and warhawks now.

Does anyone get ribbons for playing a pre-game, I was playing a CTF against one other guy and when time was up I got a few ribbons.

 

[Firewire]

Is anyone on right now. I heard the 1.92 update is giving everyone "time out" errors?

I'm scarred to update latter tonight!

 

[burnfout]

Here here.


I was actually decent this weekend, and not a single stat got recorderd

 

[Anub1s76]

i got this game today, really fun...but why s there no tutorial? getting into a game, online or local, get u so disoriented :/

 

[kay]

The stats and customizations options come back, it just goes away because when the stat server times out the game thinks you don't have points. Try looking up your character again.

The 1.92 update is fine with running the game.

 

[Miguel]

Fucking H christ I'm going to go buy a USB mic in about 10 minutes. Fuck BROOTOOFH

 

[AlxRymnd914]

Hey..

New gaf poster...longtime reader... I was wondering if i could join one of the Gaf warhawk clans. I think there are multiple ones? My PSN is ALias2k9. Let me know.

The timeout errors started happening an hour before the fw was released.

You need to state which timezone you're in before they can decide which clan you can join in.Check the first page for a list of GAF clans which suits your timezone.

 

[Vennt]

Damn NeoGAF hype machine, now I've had to join the fun (Downloading now)

BTW: GAFu! PSN: Vehnt

 

[djkimothy]

OK, so i just got the game and I'm getting timeout errors. i can't login.

I have the 1.92 firmware and I'm on wifi.

 

[Guileless]

There should be a tutorial (even just a video introduction to the buttons as in EA's sports games) and an "Instant Action" option for people to select so they're playing after hitting one button. That would make the game much, much more accessible.

 

[AlxRymnd914]

thanks for the heads-up. I'm in CST so would that be GAFe?

Yeah the GAF hype got me to Warhawk my first PSN store purchase, I WAS going to hold out and get the Blu-ray version but... September 19th.

Got to commend you lasting this long I lasted 3 hours when it arrived in the store. :lol

 

[Killthee]

The connection servers are getting slammed. The game has been giving out that error for the last 13 hours. Keep on trying to login or wait till they fix the servers.

Placed you in GAFs. Expect an invite from The Jer.

 

[icechai]

I also have had no stat recorded from my weekend of playing, so sad. At least my ranking turned back to normal pre weekend.

Damn, all my badges and points..are zero. I wonder when this thing will be updated.

Meh, tried to connect and

[Evazan]

Wow...so this game is awesome but we need a Party system like resist. Trying to play with friends over the weekend was completely retarded and or impossible. Not to mention the server issues over the weeknd.
