Shouldn’t be any damage at all. Just a way to give urs elf space when in out of bullets
I read a theory that Horde difficulty modifiers have hidden health and/or damage buffs for enemies. IE, No Restarts, Execution Rules. This theory posited that said buffs were applied with or without the actual damage and health modifiers being selected, and stack on top of the 10-round Poisons.
Is this true? If so is this intentional? If intentional, what was the rationale and why isn’t this function disclosed in-game?
It seems as though their alteration/removal, assuming they exist at all, would address complaints of enemies soaking damage and insta-capping players.
On that note, Iron Man/No Restarts is still bugged. While I don’t mind, it would be great to know if this modifier will be fixed, or removed from the linear modifiers, similar to its format in Gears 4.
Thanks.

As someone who overwhelmingly plays PvE, I couldn’t gaf if they released new characters for PvP early as long as it came with the caveat they were, indeed, on the way to Horde/Escape. It’d actually be an encouraging sign of progress and transparency.
I get that they’d want to release them fully to all applicable game modes at the same time as it would seem less messy/piecemeal - but that’s not the reason they’ve given.
And I deeply dislike the drip feed release of characters and skins, particularly when so many skins are behind paywalls that I refuse to endorse.

Can you please fix KOTH , how could you make it 30/10? A revive gives you more points … This is ridiculous, now you just encourage people not to play the objective. If you wants to reduce it , it should atleast be 150/75 . Like I’m not playing KOTH till you fix it. I am not the best Slayer but I play the objective , I used to even get mvp sometimes . Now I am in dead last , how am I supposed to rank up ? Like is it just screw you get better at Slayer ? Why can’t y’all have a healthy balance , why is things always far left or far right ? Better yet just put it back to 300, no one was even complaining about KOTH ?

All right. Lets try breaking this down kindergarten style… Maybe then you’ll be able to understand it.
Look at the TOTAL TEAM SKILL… In the first game you’re favored to win and your skill points are more than 1/4 of your teams total skill points. So you’re expected to preform…
And lets be honest. You didn’t do that hot the first round. Tho you played very well the remaining two rounds.
Going -28 with your skill points compared your team/opponent. That’s not a bad outcome for losing a round…
2nd game the opponent was favored to win… and you won 2-0… So you gained points…
Get it? It’s really not that hard…
I think man that was over the top to say… don’t be so rude to my friend here.

I think it was pretty spot on.
Ok lets act like we’re smarter then everyone and act like this working as intended
So answer this for me how can someone get 27 caps 24 breaks and 106 elims and not perform EVERY round? Were you in that match with me? No I dont think so. So you dont really know how each round played out
I actually performed better in the first round than I did in the third

Well do you have the match footage?
Otherwise it’s kinda pointless.
Oh and again Caps/breaks are not worth a lot
and Eliminations are not kills…
Okay?
No sorry I dont record my matches.
And this was before the point reduction.
And no sh^t Sherlock we all know they are not kills other wise I would have said 106 kills.
The point swings are still insane and without seeing your team and the other teams rank its hard to see why your getting the score your getting
But thanks Ryan for your help. Maybe next time you can break it down pre k style

It’s great reading everything coming in the “What’s Up” for Season 2, but it’s still very disheartening to not see any updates on there in relation to phase 3 of the Matchmaking.
It’s still taking me 25+ minutes to find a quickplay match during peak time (if I’m lucky) and I can sit in a ranked queue for 3+ hours and not find anything (this is both during peak time in Australia).
What is the status of Phase 3 of the Matchmaking? It’s actually quite upsetting that it again feels like we have been abandoned because of our geographical location. It’s already upsetting that I’ve had an achievement I’ve worked for 10+ weeks on (grind Season) voided because I wasn’t able to find a single ranked match last week.
I want to love this game, and it seems like you guys are doing a very good job fixing the issues for those that can access it. I just wish I was in that category…

@N0DEZER0 Ryan, I’m not sure how simple it is to determine whether a person intentionally dropped out of a game (went to the pause menu and quit) versus network issues, but… you guys really need to introduce a penalty for leaving Horde matches too.
If someone intentionally drops out of a game mid-match, they should lose everything they earned up to that point. Full stop. I’ve had so many occasions in the past couple of weeks, where people finished some daily objective or whatever, and just hung us out to dry, and it’s infuriating. People should be in for the long haul - if you leave, it should be a difficult decision to make, because it’ll cost you.
This gets even worse during double-star events, because people are just grinding out objectives - as soon as they finish what they needed, they bounce, re-roll objectives, then do it again.
There was never a deduction to the skill points when you’re cap/breaking.
The game is telling you that you didn’t pull your weight in the first round.
But I guess it’s easier to keep the blinds on and blame everything else.
The game can tell me I wasnt pulling my weight in the first round but the stats dont lie.
You wont get those kind of stats without pulling your weight EVERY round.
But yea Ill keep blaming everything else.
Thanks for all your help. The ranking is working fine just like everything else in this game

The ranking is working fine? Damn, you learn something new everyday. 
Guess @N0DEZER0 specifying time and time again that the ranking system needs more tuning and fixing is just a bunch of malarkey. Everything is perfect as it is today.
