    one thing i would like them to add is a way to create "sets" for the skins. that way i can have a zombie set, or a vintage set, or whatever else so i can more easily swap between things that i want to group together.

    That'd be nice.

    I'd like to have different sets for the various Horde classes for instance. (Baird with a loader enforcer is deffo my Engineer, but I might go with someone else for Scout, Soldier ETC. ETC.)

    My Friday plans got moved to Thursday so I might be able to play Friday. Work is going to cause me to get very little sleep so I may end up going to bed very early Friday.

    anyone use custom controls, as in editing the sensitivity or anything like that? i've seen it asked of streamers relatively frequently. i don think i've ever played around with those sort of settings in any game i've played

    I think I always go default; I imagine if I was really wanting to get into MP, I'd up the sensitivity a bit.

    I am debating trying some stuff to see if it helps. But then I think that it'd make more of a difference if i just got better

    what is the issue that you're having with fights?

    If you feel that your aim is too stiff or loose vs the "force" that you exert with your fingers, then changing your sensitivity will address the issue. Otherwise, there won't be much effect.

    well given the recent server issues and the fact that i've recognized i really do need a warm up game...i'm not sure. assuming i play the same mode (so competitive vs competitive as opposed to competitive vs core) i have games where i am a monster and everything is firing on all cylinders, or i can respectably say "welp i fucked up", then other games i am 4-20 and just getting demolished in gnasher battles.

    sometimes it feels as though i am turning slower than my opponent or something like that, but again it is just as (if not more) likely that i am just playing poorly. it kinda dawned on me today as something to possibly look into. as i said i have never even considered it in any game, not being i wanted to succeed with the default or something but it just literally never crossed my mind

    I realized yesterday that despite actually being home Wednesday night I failed to watch fight night. Going through the twitch saved videos though it appears there wasn't one for 1/18? Which might make sense since I think this weekend is the Mexico city tournament

    Good game, Ipori and Weasel.

    I stayed on a bit more to hit 100 ad re-up. Today wasn't too bad. I maxed my first skill, found a couple of Epic characters, got the last epic skill and, as mentioned, hit level 100.

    We might be trying again on Saturday, but I probably won't be home until 6pm PST at the earliest (stupid Saturday shift) if anyone is interested.

    I'll have to figure out why I am showing as offline. Was definitely fun last night.

    I understand why they nerfed turrets as it feels as though if you aren't using one you aren't contributing. I know you guys offered me one but I wanted to try and see if I could make any impact with just regular weapons. You definitely need to swap out the rifles for something else past wave 20 however guardians/sentinels are a nightmare for say the dropshot

    Since I leveled I was able to equip mortar strike although I could use turret damage or whatever instead. I have a bunch of scrap I'm sitting on so I may upgrade a bunch of stuff.

    Or craft one of those v day cog characters. The ones with the white armor look pretty fresh

    When you're doing well gears is the best game ever

    When you're doing poorly gears is the worst game ever

    Statements may be influenced by games this morning

    edit: i am not sure what the acronyms on the names for the pro circuit mexico city tournament mean. some have GLTA, some have GPC, some have both (in addition to the player's tag). however they sometimes are mixed on teams and sometimes not. anyone have a clue what it is?

    No idea on the tags. Never got into the pro circuit stuff myself.

    You up for some Horde Weasel? I added you as a friend.

    Anyone else? I know Scottsman is busy until later with that silly trying to make a living bit.

    I got the rare and epic luchador skins so I just need the legendary one. Double XP is great for leveling up horde classes.

    Sorry I couldn't jump in with you guys last night. Up at 5 am and then awake until 2 am made me super tired for yesterday. I didn't actually encounter the server issues you guys mentioned. I opened a couple luchador packs without issue

    Been watching the Mexico city event as much as I can this weekend. One complaint (aside from the stoppages last night) is that it seems difficult to find brackets. They had the pools listed in advance but I went out for the day and was trying to check periodically how things were progressing and I could find any place that was updating scores. I still can't in fact. I looked this morning to see what time things started and I only found it by going to the gears live stream and the "screensaver" or commerical break screen or whatever it is said 11 am est. Friday the twitch stream at the end of the day said what time it would start Saturday but it didn't this time (guess it timed out). Kind of annoying. The websites look real slick but don't quite have the information I want readily available.

    Or it could be right there and in my tired stupor I am just not seeing it. Who knows.

    it will go fine (probably) from people doing stuff but i'd be surprised if you made it past wave 20 without everyone leaving

    results from mexico city
    damn it, i missed optic vs. envyUs and apparently envy upset optic. plus there is an open bracket team (ghost ) that has beaten both eunited and E6 which are pretty big upsets since obviously they were an unknown team.

    optic vs ghost is up next so i am excited to see whether optic bounces back the carriage turns back into pumpkin or the new faces can knock off the current best team

    Bleh. It was barely tolerable. We had some new guy who was the only one besides me that would use a turret, except he wouldn't get off of it so I could upgrade it, and then he upgraded it himself! Paying the full price and losing the +80% health bump my turrets get. He finally left, but at Wave 37 I had enough. The two non-scouts kept running out and playing the field and taking the power.

    On the plus side my Engineer is Level 6 now. I may try again in a bit.
