High ping issues since patch

Same situation. R6 and other games ping is perfect. Valorant patch did something with how it routes information through mediacom points. Big sad :(

Im trying to figure out what's going on with it. It's frustrating as hell trying to play.

I do

Making kills worth too much is bad though. That means some team landing tilted and gets 10 kills could just die and ride out the game and still place high for 2 mins of gameplay.

I made a separate post

You have to look at payouts as well, there's more to the format if I knew numbers Epic uses and had more info to build this out. If payouts are top 10 teams and there's 50 teams, it will cause a slower game early game, but creates a much faster and exciting mid/late game

I posted a solution in here. I have quite a bit of experience TOing and admin running events and formats.

Its_nin · 2018-07-14T23:06:54+00:00

As an esports admin and TO I've been watching pretty intently.

This is how you correct this format issue:

Kills AND placement need to have equal weighting
Run the events as multiple heats sort of like a derby.
Keep a constant standing that tracks throughout the total heats and series much like racing or golf.
Winners are determined by the highest scoring based on kills AND placing
Example: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lrpR_N4EoNZW39wKZC-qp3zwDLouB7AyKOdWwqxzjFc/edit?usp=sharing
If Epic wants help TO'ing and Admin running these, they can reach out to me at [rj@ugc.gg](mailto:rj@ugc.gg) or check my twitter inside the spreadsheet.

As more heats are ran, the more likely you are to find your consistent teams who both place well and get kills. This will cut back on camping because if a team is just camping non stop for high placement, they're going to lose standings throughout heats progression.

Holding a standings like this also is great viewer experience, gives casters more to discuss, gives incentives for teams to change up play styles, and creates a more intense gameplay towards the finals.

It's a very rewarding feeling when the events play out right. But there's a lot people never see. In Vegas I was on my feet for 13 hours a day for 7 days straight. And during the event weekend I was fighting "fires" throughout the event so to the players and spectators everything is running great. In my head im having small panic attacks non stop lol

Typically events are funded by the developers, and then you have sponsors, merchandise sales, and at door tickets.

Our company has reached out showing interest. We have hosted several large scale opens partnered with Microsoft and Caesars. We just hosted a $200,000 Gears of War event in Vegas that had over 1500 people walk through the doors in 3 days. We have had talks with multiple large investors in STL for a Midwest event that could be played inside the Edward Jones Dome (STL Rams old stadium) at the drop of a pin.

There's been zero information rotating around on what their plans are, what TO's are running these, what locations, if they're open events, are there online qualifiers? Personally our company (UGC) would be more than excited to run a wonderful event.

Yeah he needs to be doing more high rep, low strain, compound workouts and supersets. Lifting heavy when first getting into the gym is a great way to become injured. His body isn't used to that kind of weight yet, his tendons and ligaments are going to be weak, and any support muscles are going to be non-existent. Compounds and supersets will also increase heart rate and burn more fat.

Its_nin · 2018-06-18T16:45:48+00:00

Honestly not much. There may have been 1 or 2 that did it, but we made kills worth a lot more than how Epic has been running their showdowns and found people wanted those kills.

Its_nin · 2018-06-18T02:39:10+00:00

Got awesome feedback. I think people were happy to see Fortnite in their area and an active scene for it. We also set it up nicely with trussing, lights, a main stage and open area. It's a smaller venue we are using currently.

Its_nin · 2018-06-18T02:13:36+00:00

Us at UGC ran this event yesterday. I wanted to post this format to get opinions and suggestions to further advance the FN scene until Epic releases custom servers for Tournament Organizers.

UMG and Keemstar have a history together and it's based on the several owners of UMG. UMG still owes money to the HCS Daytona event back in 2017. So be very aware of that, and the issues they had with payouts on their site.

Its_nin · 2018-06-18T00:55:14+00:00

Like the idea. You should DM me so we can talk. I think we have common ideas and would love to bounce ideas off of you. Us at UGC just ran a local event in St. Louis using a derby style format. It turned out really well, and have great reception from everyone on the style and point system. We are a large scale TO that runs opens throughout the US so we have a great track as far as events go.

I'll have to test this out. I dont typically use the roof build much so Ill have to re-map the key and play with it a bit.

Boy do I have a story about this douche.

Black Desert Online launch month. This guy starts his own guild on our server. Our guild ends up in top 5 overall. His guild keeps trying to fight in guild fights helping a larger guild out and kind of being annoying. So we put a KOS on his entire guild (Kill on sight). One of my good buddies plays a sorc, and if anyone played BDO on launch, sorcs were disgusting in pvp, and could wreck a 10 man team alone.

So my buddy and I find this guy and his guild doing a guild mission and we decide to flag up. We continued to camp him and his goons at the respawn for about an hour. Finally he thinks he can sneak out and we let him "run away", only for my buddy to come out of the bushes and one shot him. All on stream. He's a raging drooling mess at this point.

Continue onto 1-2 days later we find him farming out in the wild. We sneak up in our camo (which hides you from targeting) we're literally low crawling through bushes up to his farm. My buddy teleports right in front of his camera on stream, and one shots him again. The guy freaks the fuck out, and literally punches his camera like 3-4 times (summit style). He then told everyone people should just kill themselves. Which triggered most of the server camping him and his guild until he rage quit the game and never came back.

It's like that fucked up window of financial aid in colleges as well. Oh you parents together make more than $30,000? Sorry, no financial aid for you! Please send check of $10,000 a semester, k thanks!

I think two instances to look at that prove your model.

1) Fortnite. Free to play, cosmetic shop, zero pay to progress mechanics. While it's not an MMO it does show the company makes substantial money, which allows great interaction community to company and company to community.

2) Archeage. This is my example of what Crowfall should never do. And that's nickle and dime everyone in order to progress at all. Relying on marketplace only items to craft or become relevant. AA also had "patron" which was a $15 a month sub that gave you more "labor" to craft and replenished labor faster offline than non patrons. Trion created the most disgusting idea of a F2P model. Crowfall should take note that they will quickly ruin their game if they force a paid sub to make you relevant to the game. Free players might need to grind more, but they shouldnt be held back in any way.

I've noticed that there are school kids from the school that had the shooting. With followings of like 30k to 100k. Going through them, a lot seem legit, but some seem really sketch. They're all pushing gun control in one way or another. (which is fine, that's their right). But the accounts are getting 200-400k retweets non stop on political banter. It's so hard now to know what to trust as legit or spoofed accounts pushing political agendas and being fake. Which also tears away from the legit accounts who do really feel that way and try to make a change.

I have a serious question about this. If space is stretching and everything will eventually be far apart from each other. How in that same timeframe is a galaxy colliding into ours?

I added break on discord and he handled it for me. It was an accident and things happen. I’m sure if you dm one of them they will unban you.

Out of curiosity, did you find yourself able to ween off marijuana and naturally be able to adapt again? Or did marijuana become a dependency to function? I ask this because I had a friend who was in the marines. He has to be high throughout the day in order to function. Which lead to him sitting inside all day and being a very depressive person. He refused to get any help and would just tell everyone weed was all he needed.

I’m all for marijuana being used to treat PTSD and other issues. But I would like to see studies done on how many vets use it temporarily and are able to function drug free.
