I realize that Chris has been the one who was outed for making the ST and LRM changes that everybody hates, but this time I think I am leaning towards PGI is making him the scapegoat on this one. PGI wants me to believe that they have a completely rogue employee who is the only one who can make changes, doesn't report to anybody above him, AND they let these changes sit for 4 days in the public without reversing them. Right. If PGI is indeed telling the truth and it is a rogue Chris, they have a bigger problem than patch change suggestions getting ignored.
I don’t think PGI has outright stated it was a rogue Chris but they’ve left enough hints to suggest it.
I did think about it... PGI has noted that in the past there was pretty much just one person working on the code (who left) and that's why they are in the bind they are now... So perhaps it is true that Chris is the only one who can decipher the rat's nest of code?

Chaotic Harmony got perma-banned for 'aiming to ruin the hunt a streamer event', apparently. In that a couple streamers complained to PGI that this is what he was going to do, while CH maintains he was dropping in a 4-man with a co-ordinated LRM-based team to show how the matchmaking right now was very not fun for single players, not to mess with the hunt-a-streamer event.

Ohhhh, ok. I thought that B33f did an all LRM team and got temp banned as well. So maybe I was confusing him with this Chaotic Harmony person.

Phil "Sean Lang" just died for telling people in his stream not to be mad at people for not wearing masks and to let people live their own lives and take their own risks. Does that count?

I dunno who that is but they fucking suck.
Like not even in a joking teasing way.
That's the stupidest fucking thing to say during a goddamn pandemic. Because it's not "they're just putting themselves at risk," they're putting everyone around them at risk. What a fucking idiot.

B33f didn’t get banned as far as I I know.
Chaotic Harmony went off the deep end with the Soup queue change and aimed to make it as painful as possible by running a LRM group in every game he could.
I’m not aware of the full details of the whys, but he was temp banned for the initial streamer hunt (everybody seems to have a different story on this one), and left alone for the second.
Then, from what I was able to gather, he decided to go full “do it you wusses, you don’t have the guts” after a GM told him he was skating on thin ice with reports and that they could choose to permaban but weren’t.

Glad to know my already-low opinion of this man is calibrated correctly!
Seriously, fuck this guy. Is there anything at NGNG that's redeemably worth engaging with at this point?

Basically Daeron shows up and gives him information about upcoming changes and the like. That’s about it.

The only reason I was in the stream was that Daeron had showed up and was about to start talking about stuff but then THAT bomb dropped and I noped out after telling him that it's not 'fear for one's life', it was wanting to prevent the spread to people in danger, and that telling people 'if you're young and not at risk you do you go out do whatever' is real, real fucking stupid.
I didn't point out that my sub in there was a gift (that I still don't know why I was given I'd not been in there for WEEKS when it dropped what the fuck) after dropping.

Good for you for dropping listening to that, and trying to tell him that.
got PPCs w/ the velocity buff up to 2640m/s and they feel really good from longer ranges now.
Damn that's fast. I'm actually happy with the velocity buffs. And it's still possible to anticipate / dodge long range fire too if you're the type to pay attention.
My favorite thing was, last night, playing in Alpine in my Rifleman II. Some Vapor Eagle was trying to PPC me, doing 0 damage, while I just stood there. A couple of his buddies with actual range / enhancements thereof were joining on firing me while I stood on the hill long-tanking, and it was an effective way to get some 3 to 4 people on the enemy team distracted and never firing at the rest of my team (whom they could've done more substantial damage to). Long-range tanking is fucking great.
Sadly, my team didn't catch on to this going on, so they never took advantage of the situation and we lost.
Just got 25GSP from a loot bag. Would rather have had the Cbills that it would have cost to exchange XP for SP. Tried outfitting my Flea with a different engine and DHS and ran out of money again.
Ok... Slightly annoyed with all the ERPPCs in the game. Dropped in for a few matches and that's all I see. Took out my 2 ERPPC Vapor Eagle and did 500+ damage. Sheesh....
My Corsair got headshot with an AC20 last night. I fell over. It hurt.
Saved the mech.
You just reminded me. I shot one person peeking over a hill on Plexus and he died to one salvo from my 6LBXs... Guessing head shot since it was early, but I forgot to check after the match ended.
Of note, this is based on the pre-March patch build.
Interesting changes and decreasing the TTK (seems like it). This seems to be more aligned with what people were hoping. Wondering if they're leaving the Match patch in place to get some test data.
Oh hell yes. I am absolutely here for a UE4 MWLL2. Hopefully they can build a MWLL that isn't running off of tin cans, string, bubblegum, and duct tape.

Hibernal actually looks fucking rad now.
My one complaint is they didn't patch out the guy yelling on mic about how we all suck and deserve to lose. Maybe next patch?
Anyone have any idea how I did 1 team damage when the only thing I shot was HPPCs the entire game? Maybe I stepped on someone's toe.
They show up in the discussions in factions and comp
Rubbing legs will count as team damage if you do it enough.

Fun fact, the dude got perma’ed after that.
Wait, B33f got perma banned after that? So he's (and all his alts) are now gone?

Nothing official from PGI yet but the response to this patch has so bad that they may be walking on eggshells right now.
Could also be their typical "no comment" and just wait for things to die down.
