"decreased ranger damage"

that cracks me up.

*cracks up*

[laserflip]

omg dude...they NERFED RANGERS! what the fucking hell did they nerf rangers for? they were completely worthless as it is! what were they thinking, thats ridiculous...god these people are dumb

[Magus]

They didnt nerf rangers if you actually look at the numbers, they buffed them. Same amount of physical DPS (though one could argue that frontloading the damage is better, this also results in overkill), slightly better morale DPS. Still, pretty insufficent if you ask me...

[ilia]

Im dling it now.. At first i was.. "omfg wtf? Rangers got nerfed??!!!". That was until I read your post, Magus ;)

new 2 vs 2 maps are nice. The original onces besides Saint's, sucked afaik. Some new 4 vs 4 and 3 vs 3 maps would be cool too. Hopefully an editor will come soon.

Oh, almost forgot.

"omg w00t!! patch1!!11" :D

[FluxX]

They buffed rangers by aout 5% :whoopiedydoo!:

And 1 hour to download the patch!?! Thats stupid!

[Erik_Firewolf]

And old playbacks no longer work.

[Bentusi]

really? shiat

[MVB]

WTF Old playbacks no longer work?

What the fuckedy fuck.

[FuriousX]

nooooooo all my playbacks are gone GONE !

[Weavern]

In modders we trust to come up with an application that allows us to watch old replays... or hope that RDN tosses something our way for that.

[Psy]

lol prax you are delusional :P

anyway relic or was it the thq dude - said old replays = no possible. its on relic forums

[Erik_Firewolf]

*shakes his first*

[Delta]

lol sucks 4 the 1 hour dl..... took me bout 5 mins :banana: <----- HAIL THE BANANA :hail:

[FluxX]

IT WILL NOT INSTALL!

Check over the Relic forums. Loads of people are having the problem.

It will not install the patch. (I have the Bittorrent version now, but the first try was the in game patcher.)

It stops for about 5 mins on 90% where it tries to patch the sound.sga and then freezes my whole pc eventually! :(

[MVB]

FLUX OMG

I let it sit, and it took a while, but it DID update. Freaking goddamned impatient; it took like 5-10 minutes. Just let it sit, ffs.

Goddamn people are impatient.

[FluxX]

Impatient? My PC won't move for 5/10 mins, and I impatient?

For your information, I said FREEZE. Thats no mouse movement or alt-ctr-del.

A complete freeze is differnt from getting stuck...

[ilia]

Make sure that your HD is defragged, and that you got enough HD space.

Works for most ppl.

[FluxX]

:rolleyes:

Defragged last week, have 12gb of space (some people had 200gb free!!!!).

It finally installed, I thought "what have I got to loose" and left it to see if it would work through the freeze. It did, 45 minuets later.

Its jst the first time I have had a patch take longer than the game to install (and that includes the multitudes of addons you get with UT/UT2004).

It did completely freeze out my pc, but thankfully it continued on. I don't know what Relic is using to patch the game, but they should definatly change to another program.

[Morpheus]

Yes, it took me like 8 mins to install the patch - I thought something was wrong.

And if anyone has luas extracted from sga files, delete them before installing the patch, otherwise it won't work. I spend more than an hour trying to figure out why I was getting dropped from every single game after I installed the patch.

[FluxX]

Lol, you thought 8 mins was long :ROTFL:
