Let us see how this works out! Very interested in seeing a lot less waiting around during matches.
Firstly 60+ seconds between matches is a little long. I think 30-45 seconds would be nice, still a chance to browse menus and chat up the score, but also leaves less time for people to become board waiting and leave the match.
Another thing about waiting is the respawn time. Slow. Ghosting my killer is great and all, but it's a lot of time lost for the TEAM more so than an individual player.
Perhaps an option to spawn instantly without the option to change the mech and hit the launch button. perhaps save some users about 2 seconds of respawn time. See a lot of new guys sit in the menu for more than long enough for the last half of the team to get wiped out.
The spawn mechanism is working nicely. I do feel that we are spawning closer to the team or at least within reason. This is good because it seems fuel can be costly on slower mechs that need the dodge ability during close quarters battle.
A curious inquire about the shields. How can we make these stick to team mates better_
how about shields that can't be penetrated by the mech itself or perhaps only penetrated by the same team that dropped it. So team red can't walk into or through a blue's shield.
Mech. The pred. - -
Oh man it's a tough one to pilot. Those mines would be killer it they had a homing attachment. Maybe toggle for mines, toggle for homing air borne mines. Just an idea to keep the same weapon, but make it a little more useful.
The mine travel speed can be greatly increased. No reason a mine needs to travel so darn slowly. The enemy already scooted my the position I'm trapping.....
All the heavies would be a little more fun with some extra land speed. Not a lot, but enough to kinda keep up with the pack.
All mechs -
A bail out option. A single teleport feature. Random teleport to get out of harms way if your team got plowed over. Just a crazy idea, but would make for interesting game play. One use per match purchase-able.
Graphics -
OK, well I've got my own experiences like everyone else. Not issues though. Just things of interest.
I've noticed that after my PC leaves sleep and resumes, the game gets horrible frame rates. I found that If I put the screen into borderless and put it back it fixes this problem, but not always. This requires me to restart the PC and it runs great.
PC specs are,
Intel 3770K GTX 480 main, GTX 460 Physx. I get a decent 60-80 fps AA 4x the rest on Ultra Physx on NV only. The GTX 460 usually on average uses 35-45% and peaks around 50%.
Other than some of this, are just thoughts, not complaints. I think the game is running great. really enjoying the physx and the servers are getting better.
PS, I miss the chaos servers. 10 v 10 was some fun fuzzy bunny. If it's gonna be a little laggy, it may as well be chaotic.!
