A way to figure this out is by going through the Metaverse and seeing what maps pop up with those in the ladder under ranked. Doesn't really answer your question, but a little digging and you'll find out the maps.
The issues we experienced earlier were due to the Steam servers going down. https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/4eo7ms/yes_its_down/ Besides that it is also common for me to have a popup saying "your opponent has left matchmaking" when the match is starting to load.
I don't really have a set schedule as far as streams go (I'm pretty sporadic at times), but if I'm online I'm typically streaming to Twitch. Just search for Ashes or my name: I_am_muffincat. Warning: matches take a while sometimes to find. My luck of course haha
I had that same issue not too long ago. I was streaming at the time otherwise I would of posted a video showing it. Couldn't surrender, click on Nexus, or do anything. Alt+f4 was my only salvation.
I would like some bigger maps as well. I think it is frost haven where at times I can attempt to make dreadnoughts. Otherwise I either overwhelm my enemy before that, or my enemy does the same to me and neither of us get to use them. Rarely do I ever build dreads as game don't last that long. Also I'm kind of sad fringe was taken out, but I would like some maps where if 2 good players go at it, it takes them 20+ minutes or so. Really adds to the suspense a
[quote who="Kazzerigian" reply="14" id="3629905"] Sure hope the rankings get reset. [/quote] With the amount of changes this update will bring I agree. It pretty much changes the game regarding units and expansion.
Used to be able to alt+tab with no issues at all even in dx12. Now it's a 100% crash guarantee. Borderless window also doesn't work. The game doesn't crash perse, but you can't do anything as your mouse commands won't work.
RTS games have never had high exposure in my experience. Even Total War, which has a large fanbase, barely competes with the action packed drama of fps or moba games. Plus it is a Thursday when it launched. Maybe today or this weekend it'll fair a bit better.
[quote who="Neinhalt_Sieger" reply="8" id="3628125"] muffin I;ve just watched you yesterday on stream getting destroyed by a drone launcher. basically you lost 3 min to kill one drone tower and you had 4000 to 1000 score and map control advantage. A little bit later I have watched your army getting slaughtered by another drone tower long enough to be face rushed by maulers. that was basically a lost game. So drone tower is not ok. by far [/quote] <p
I've had the unit glitch a few times as well since the latest update. Sometimes it's a unit I don't care about, and other times it is something I could of really used. It also happened to a building of mine.
Skeeby disable SLI and try again in dx12. If that doesn't work delete your settings .ini file under documents/my games/ Ashes. You'll have to redo your settings again, but sometimes I've noticed (when I tried mGPU with Nvidia+AMD) that it needed to be done to fix issues when using mGPU. Unfortunately though I haven't had much if any crashes since I started playing the game.
The PAM (or whatever it is called) is the small scout unit that is recruited from the sky factory (again forget the real name lol). Essentially it is a tool to search the enemy positions without losing a vast amount of units to drone launchers. Early on when drone launchers are built the enemy tends to have limited, if none AA. With this you can zero in on the location of said launchers and eventually eliminate them with ranged units. Health is pretty low, so only a few barrages and it should
[quote quoting="post"] I dont recall phc to have such a big impact. [/quote] Use Artemis + PAM to take out launchers. Pam to scout and artemis to take out it with range. Drone MRV's only have something like 1800 combined health, so they are not the most tanky of defenses.
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="6" id="3627167"] The PHC and the Substrate are both from Earth. The third race does not come from Earth. [/quote] Huh. I thought the Substrate was from another planet given their difference to PHC in regards to units. Interesting to know.
That explains it haha.
Mine is overcharge / boost since I rarely use orbitals haha. One of my major flaws adding to lack of air, dreadnoughts, and AA support. As far as your second question I'm not sure. Maybe their is a timer or something between posts preventing you from replying. Granted I haven't done much posting and haven't witnessed this myself.
[quote who="Mellified_Man" reply="5" id="3626522"] We have seasons planned. I can't say more right now. [/quote] Sounds good, and no worries regarding saying more. Maybe consider it a monthly thing regarding seasons, similar to Hero status on Lineage 2, or however the team decides to go with it.
The drone launchers and sentinel turrets do need a decrease in some form or another. If you have enough medics next to a turret, with it's current HP count, you are lucky if you manage to get it down to 2k HP. Cost wise it is also high for what it does and could use a reduction. The drone launcher needs a reduction in the amount of units it can hit at one time, or reduce the chances of it killing so many(if that is possible). It seems like in 1 or 2 bursts you can clear a ge

[quote who="Mellified_Man" reply="2" id="3626423"] Rank 1 and Legendary players can expect to wait up to 13 minutes for an AI opponent currently. This is being actively watched and tweaked. Your feedback is welcome! [/quote] Have you guys considered adding a "wipe" function to individuals? I can understand how this can ruin things regarding the ladders. Also, when will the next ladder wipe happen? Wouldn't mind starting over ag
I approve. Now I can't cap 3 points in under a minute :).
I approve of this update. Mauler still deals the damage, but it's not as insane as before. Can't wait to test out Nvidia+AMD tomorrow when my Nano arrives!
Loving all the updates. Gonna give it a whirl!
I'm using multiple monitors and haven't seen any of the symptoms others have. Drivers installed pretty easily like normal for me. I do use DDU to remove the older drivers, along with Uninstalling the drivers through the control panel. Don't forget to uninstall MSI AfterBurner or EVGA Precision prior to installing new drivers.
[quote]What does it mean for AOTS? did the game got better FPS? better quality? the support is for only Vulcan?
