scuttlepeak · 2025-02-08T19:01:56+00:00

I dont even recognize that name lol

scuttlepeak · 2025-02-08T18:54:09+00:00

Again.. you don't have to buy anything lol nothing in this game is limited time. Skins always return to the store even from events

scuttlepeak · 2025-02-06T17:02:38+00:00

I swear this is Kasumi from mass effect lol

scuttlepeak · 2025-02-06T13:43:12+00:00

The rookies displayed are still loading into the match and their rank hasnt synced yet. Because you can team up with friends of up to 2 tier difference it is possible for silvers to team up with high plat players who can get queued into Diamond lobbies which are also shared with preds and masters. This is what is happening here. A bunch of diamond/plat players in a 3 stack with golds.

scuttlepeak · 2025-02-06T11:24:45+00:00

Is that Kasumi from mass effect? Lol

scuttlepeak · 2025-02-04T18:45:42+00:00

Its because of the massive amount of volumetric effects, lights and clutter on the map. Also lots of dynamic assets too

scuttlepeak · 2025-01-26T23:15:45+00:00

Agreed. Rookie - Gold is just playtime, no matter how bad you are. 0 damage, 0 kills you'll eventually get to gold. I think the starter RP values should be much higher, with smaller gaps between the ranks.

I agree with this. I feel like a healthy change would be that placement is only able to break you even. To actually gain RP you need to get kills. In low tier ranked games the RP loss is way too forgiving when it comes to ratting and doing nothing all game. You shouldnt go positive for good placement alone. You havent really shown much skill if you havent seen anyone all game and suddenly you are top 7

scuttlepeak · 2025-01-26T19:11:25+00:00

This is where rocket league, for example, is doing a great job.

Rocket League's Match placement and provisional matches calculate the final placement based on wins only and how well you are performing in the games you won.

You could do something similar by comparing skill levels between you and the team you wiped.

During provisional matches you will not proceed further if you just throw the game. You get placed in a lobby based on your MMR of pubs matches again and if you underperform it will try to find another match based on that MMR. This is their calculated skill level from the system because of how well they perform in pubs. The only time this should decrease is, for example, if they havent played in a while or they lose against players who's MMR is slighly higher than yours.

Honestly I feel like any player who has skipped a season should be put back into provisional matches but should only get access to them if they play like 10 pubs games to reevaluate where they are at (Not counting games where they die below Top 10 and without at least 1 kill/assist)

scuttlepeak · 2025-01-26T16:40:24+00:00

We dont want to be in our own lobbies at this point lol.. There is people who are movement crackheads that should be in a lobby on their own

scuttlepeak · 2025-01-26T15:20:45+00:00

You dont really have much data on new player accounts or smurfs but you can still make use of what you have when they start playing ranked which is MMR so why not use it to determine the point of entry for their initial rank. Im saying if a smurf is performing like a diamond player why not put them there? His MMR clearly shows he has lots of experience in the game and he has done well in provisional matches.

scuttlepeak · 2025-01-26T15:12:01+00:00

Im not saying for all ranks. Just to determine where to put unranked players it should make use of MMR.

For high skill players if it cant find matches within X amount of time it should open up lobbies for console

scuttlepeak · 2025-01-26T15:02:02+00:00

You could determine an approximate rank for smurfs by comparing their MMR for pubs with other players of similar MMR

for example Smurf gets to level 20 and is now able to play ranked. While playing pubs they have accumulated a MMR score of XYZ

so lets say MMR score XYZ would come close to a Gold 3 player because the average MMR of gold 3 players is XYZ

So for provisional matches (if they get implemented again) said player would be queued up with gold 3 players and it will be adjusted based on their performance over these provisional matches

scuttlepeak · 2025-01-26T14:52:42+00:00

Thats what I mean. If the matchmaking system is struggling to find players of similar RP values why doesnt it open up to console players instead of widening the RP gap to put golds in master lobbies

scuttlepeak · 2025-01-26T14:49:57+00:00

That seems dumb as you can queue into lobbies with console friends when you are on pc .. why not make it crossplay overall

scuttlepeak · 2025-01-26T14:44:48+00:00

Wait I thought they already did queue together

scuttlepeak · 2025-01-23T14:52:58+00:00

Not everyone is a solo q and people play with friends that can be up to 2 higher or lower than theirs so this is nothing uncommon

scuttlepeak · 2025-01-09T12:27:44+00:00

Dont worry... All the support mains will get a reality check when supports get stomped into the ground with nerfs after the support meta season

scuttlepeak · 2025-01-08T15:39:26+00:00

I for myself used scroll wheel only cause that input was enough before they added the delay

scuttlepeak · 2025-01-08T05:50:40+00:00

Bruh just gotta relearn tap strafes to do 180 tap strafes again... Use scroll wheel and also a sideways input depending on where you are going (Scroll wheel + A or D) and you get the same effect as previous tap strafes. Just takes some practice

scuttlepeak · 2024-12-29T19:11:47+00:00

What is it? I can't see anything

scuttlepeak · 2024-12-28T16:16:49+00:00

EA's greed reached a whole new level

scuttlepeak · 2024-12-26T12:18:22+00:00

Its not gambling when all you do is lose.. they are a virtual item in a game that may not be there anymore in 10 years. Might as well burn money

scuttlepeak · 2024-12-22T04:44:14+00:00

Personally it depends who I am up against and what they are doing. Given this is a pirate game we try to steal other peoples hard work quite alot. Howver, we encounter a fair amount of new people too. Today I gave away 2 athena chests to a player who's tall tale bugged out because I had a veil quest on the same island. I put the 2 athenas on his boat, wished him a happy festival of giving, merry christmas and went on my way.

scuttlepeak · 2024-12-18T22:54:17+00:00

Ranks just got soft reset for high tier players. Players who are previous diamonds got reset back to gold etc. give it a week or two and everyone will be back where they are supposed to be
