Hey hobo, great compilation. I have a question regarding :

• Matchmaking servers +/-300 points outside your player rating will be grayed out and you will be unable to join. This restriction does not apply to custom servers.

Do you know if there was already something like this running behind the scenes when using match finding_

I enjoy playing agaisnt people who are much better than me, how am I suppost to get good if I keep playing agaisnt people of the same caliber.

That's kind of the point of matchmaking, isn't it_ To pit you against people of equal skill_  I assume this has been part of MM since the beginning.

On any map not called Bazaar making Hellfire's more reliable when dumbfiring is a great thing so you don't feel like you're fighting with one hand tied behind your back where if you lock with your hellfires it just lets the other player know to move.

I like the buff to the EOC but it makes me cringe when thinking of players that are already good with it like Sylhiri and just how much more damage they'll do now.

One thing you can do is friend request people you play with now, that are better than you.  You'll still be able to join on friends, even if they're outside of your rating.
