A bunch of different people set up Penny Arcade networks independently. There are about 4-5 different ones. No idea which one is the most active. It would probably be most efficient to have someone do a roster in the OP for the different formats that way people can add each other as friends to make it easier. Then have one Network people default to outside of switching to knock out some happy hour merits and then switching back.
Thanks for the matches today fellas... poor showing on my part, but it was fun as always :biggrin:
There's nothing to worry about here; we still all had fun I'm sure. You can only get better the more you play, which has certainly been the case for me at any rate.
To give an idea of probably how much more I have played than you after hearing the levels of your Titans, I should note that my Tone is Generation 11, level 11, while my Ronin is Generation 6 Level 8.
I'm probably making things tricky when it comes to Bounty because I'm hoovering up grunts; i.e. you'd probably do better points wise if I weren't around tbh.

Recently bought TitanFall 2 (along with Battlefield 1 on the PS store special). Might be joining a few of you soon. Hopefully you don't mind noobs too much but I usually learn fast.

OK, having yet to regen a titan, I don't feel bad any more.

Yeah. I could probably have one Titan at Gen 11, but I have it spread between about 4 Titans, all at like 4,3 or 2. I think the fact that I generally only play mixtape with you guys probably has something to do with it, as LTS helps give you a big bump with leveling Titans.
Also, a good point about hovering up the grunts and whatnot. We were talking about how deceptively simple Bounty Hunt was a page back but how hard it could be when applying the correct strategy. One of the toughest things to work out, at least with randoms is do I stand at the drop pods constantly running over the enemies to secure the money? Or do I let team mates come in and try to pick off some when they aren't in their Titans so they can get their Titan faster? Or do I split it with them so the extra bounty doesn't get eaten up if I get picked off on the way to the bank and is instead spread across 3 characters for safety. The more I think about Bounty Hunt the more I realize there is a bunch of meta strategy to be applied (even if it isn't necessary most of the time)
Or would it be OK if PS4 players notified you in this thread? Or sent you PM?

I would suggest making a google docs spreadsheet that people can edit to add their info in. I was going to set one up but for some reason it isn't playing nice with my internet at the moment.
Quick and dirty Spreadsheet that people can add their PSN / Gamertag on in order to add each other as friends. Also for normal play time and preferred Network (if you have one, might help us all migrate to one, outside of random happy hour hops). PSN and XBOX are on separate pages, switchable at the bottom.
I got this for Xmas, and added myself to the Xbone list. I played through the campaign on Hard in about... 6 hours? I beat it on the same day I unwrapped it, anyway, and we watched a lot of Netflix that day as well.
I was less than impressed with the "bond between man and Titan" stuff, though the setpieces were quite impressive.

I added a "Forum Handle" column Squall... I know it makes life easier for me to figure out who's who.
Cool deal. I thought I had it set to anyone with the link can edit, but computer at work was taking forever to load and probably messed it up. Should be fixed now.
I was thinking about the forum handle on the drive home. You read my mind. You complete me

Hello, fellow pilots. I just picked this up yesterday for PS4. It seems pretty fun so far. I added my name to the spreadsheet. I look forward to blowing up many titans (probably mostly my own) with you!
Stealth rodeo or whatever it's called is probably the best perk ever.
I stand by my first purchase being "knee plus" though.
I got just under 600 credits atm and I think I have all the weapons / boosts etc that I use a ton purchased already. It might be time to pick up some of the executions. I'm a fan of the Grand Theft Semi Auto. It's just so...nasty.
So this may have been a fluke, but someone was using the execution where they use your sidearm on you, but got killed in the process. When I popped out of it unharmed, I only had my anti-titan weapon. I'm wondering if that's a side benefit of that type of execution or if it was a glitch. If it's the former, that's worth investing in. Even if the execution fails, you just screwed over the pilot.
While I agree that being insensitive is an issue, so is being oversensitive.

I know that supposedly that execution is one of the only that supposedly confirms the kill early in the animation. I'm told the target is dead after the first pistol shot, as opposed to some where the whole animation has to complete for the kill to go through.
I've been saved from executions pretty late in some of the animations. I think it's really cool that that's even a thing that can happen.
Also GTSA and knee plus were just about a coin toss. I just think it's really funny seeing a character as huge as the Cloak popping up into a flying knee, so it won out.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but parties seem broken. Every time I'm in one, I join into the first match with the group but after that I get left in the lobby while the host joins the game alone.

Is it from the random invites people can do from within a network? I haven't tried them myself but it could be that they only group people together for a single match since its just who pressed triangle first.
Nah, from party invites. It even gives me a popup showing stats about the match the host is in, which seems kinda snarky.
So that normally just means that you have to wait as it is still trying to load you in and the leader of your group has already loaded in. Happened earlier tonight with some other guys I was playing with. I was in the match and it took them another good 10-15 seconds to get in probably.

Yeah the party system is wildly inconsistent in how it works.
We get people left behind semi regularly maybe a few times a week as well as the much more common most people join and then last person sits in a black screen for ages and then joins a minute or so into the match.
It might be something to do with the data center that the host is connected to and what your connection to that is like? Maybe if it does get you pulled in during a certain frame it times out. Definitely odd.

What I will say is odd is that once you group up, it seems to take you out of the network list.
I've been on most evenings GMT so feel free to add me if that might overlap with anyone else's playtime.

Could you put a list of PS4 players in the OP?
There are too many Ps4 networks, and its very difficult to get a group going.

Should be fixed to so you can edit/add now. It spazzed out on me earlier and didn't set to be able to edit as I intended.
Also, chance of getting it added to OP? @TychoCelchuuu
EDIT- NM, just saw it was there! Also, feel free to ignore the xbox tab since there is an xbox list already in circulation.
