The MechAssault Boot, Rankings, and Skills...
So it's common knowledge that someone gets booted when you start a match in MA, but has anyone actually been booted themselves when a match starts? I never have and I thought maybe no one is really being booted, but maybe someone who left the game before the start's info is not being cleared properly, and it is cleared when the game starts...
And here's another DOH moment...I didn't realize that when you abort a game in Last Man Standing before the end that your stats are not added to the rankings! Oops! My rank was around #83 in LMS last night, and I found this out when checking my ranking between matches.
Of course, these rankings are not based on skill at all...my approximately 70 kills and 30 losses were ranked below someone with 72 kills and 68 losses :-/
And finally, I think people are going to be very frustrated who join the game a few months down the line since there's no way to play in games based on skill. How is someone who gets the game for Christmas going to compete against people who have been playing for 6 weeks longer? Do you think this will matter?
Oh, and hate the masks? Just get everyone to gang up on the guy with the mask first...it was very persuasive last night
