The matchmaking is improved, not incredibly though. There's a bunch of other glitches that got taken care of too, its a 370 or so MB patch. Where the matchmaking shines is in the arena, connections fail a lot less and there's less issue because you're not "in" someone else's game, everyone involved moves to the battleground area to level the playing field.Sande45 said:Turtling, especially with a spear, always was so easy and simple that it was boring as hell and basically eliminated a huge part of the game for those looking for a fun and challenging play style. Pretty much everything else about the update looks great as well. What I don't get though are the Eagle shield nerf (who uses a shield that weighs 6 and doesn't even block 100% physical?) and faster rolling (it's not like rolling was that far behind turtling in easiness before).
Have they done anything about the lag (or matchmaking)? The moment I decided I'm not going to touch that shit(PvP) with a ten foot pole was when I got lagstabbed while being behind them just about to backstab them myself.
I'm with everyone else, and it perplexed me at first...I have NO CLUE why a "great"shield that weighs 6 pounds can't take 100% of the damage.
I have to ask, and I ask it nicely and not at all to incite a problem...if turtling makes things too easy and rolling away from getting hit is too easy, do you just take hits to the chest like a boss to make everything nice and hard? : )
