problems with cf part 4050

Ranked rant mostly

First off, giving TMPs to everyone for free was quite a stupid idea really, ruins ranked experience and any pvp aspects of this game for 7-12 days if you are unlucky enough to come across it (every ranked match). JHP bullets should not exist, yes its a selling point, but the game is ran by gamers (dont quote me) and if it mattered enough, youd prevent and stop unnecessary releases of weapons with JHP bullets.

Second of all what are the speeds of the servers this game runs on? i shoot someone 6-7 times with my m4 IB and deal 54 damage around 5 m away but get sprayed down by a tmp 25 m away. Not to mention favourite shooter, i snipe someone, watch their head recoil back and i die even though i shot at the same time.

Thirdly, ranked balancing, how come i, who got placed gold last season gets placed against masters from last season. the enemy team always seem to have a better team than me, i get stuck with people who spam 5s and Hs everytime they die and call me bad when im 7/5 and they at 1/7.

Fourth point is where are all the weapons EU had access to, are you ever going to release those? (really want a GM reply on this point).

And finally, i bought a logitech g900 and when i play with it my crosshairs wiggles as if its a snake, any ideas?

Take this as motivation for the work your clearly doing, you guys dont announce anything for upcoming contents, no proper patch notes, just downtimes.

Id appreciate any GM reply to this thread, since you guys clearly read these, so i dont see the harm in replying to each point ive made with a stand point.

1)Gotta agree about the TMP/JHP smgs. They shouldn't be given out much if at all. Should remain behind ZP or hard to earn event rewards. JHP probably should have been a pistol thing over a SMG thing due to tagging effect on a slower fire rate weapon wouldnt have been so OP but given pistols something for 2.0. (other than that fast fire anaconda)

2)good question honestly. Always heard other players guess the low tick rate of the servers but never any confirmation. The situation never used to be like this a few years back. Supposedly the change was shortly before the 2.0 update. I just know back when the majority of players were Brazilians (before CF BR existed) we didn't really have the behind the walls and no reg issues. They just lagged.

3)Don't know much about this honestly, I tend to stay away from ranked at all costs. It may be due to the ranked games going on and who's joining them with the majority of the higher ranked players queuing in the server you're queuing in as well with lower ranked players in another server queuing? Thus it tags you into the higher ranked matches because there aren't any being filled around your rank perhaps.

4) They have already said in a places they will be releasing CF EU stuff here over time along with releasing some of the stuff EU never had but NA/UK did. We've already had the Drotik pistol released in MP that EU had. The likely delay is that they aren't going to release them all at once but rather spread them out and also use them sometimes as fillers for things like MP, Coupons, and additional stuff for smaller patches. Provided that's a guess but with the Drotik so far it seems to be the case.

5) As luka said, somewhere in your mouses software setting you should have an option to set the polling rates. It's likely defaulted at like 500Hz or 1000Hz. CF being on an older engine supposedly can't support higher than the 125Hz (probably could with some large work arounds but the Devs probably won't be spending time on that) and so if your mouse is set higher it'll cause shakey movements.

Reply for:
1- Yes
2 - They really should upgrade, and fix favourite shooter, its annoying as hell
3 - Meh i guess
4 - Drotik is garbage and how long since the merge? Novemberish? 1 gun per 4 months, yikes, at least we will have all the guns available by 2030.
5 - oh didnt know that, thanks

While I don't have direct control over what is released or developed, I get what you mean. Like I have mentioned to a few others though, my recommendation is that as soon as you see someone with a TMP, you play the long range game. They're useless unless they close that distance.

Second of all what are the speeds of the servers this game runs on? i shoot someone 6-7 times with my m4 IB and deal 54 damage around 5 m away but get sprayed down by a tmp 25 m away.

Server specs are something we don't distribute openly, but the issue with hits registering that you are referring to is usually more to do with lag on either side than it is the server speed. It is something many have mentioned and that we are aware of though.

Thirdly, ranked balancing, how come i, who got placed gold last season gets placed against masters from last season. the enemy team always seem to have a better team than me, i get stuck with people who spam 5s and Hs everytime they die and call me bad when im 7/5 and they at 1/7.
This is bad luck and also clicking 'expand'. If you expand matchmaking, you are allowing yourself to be mixed with any ranking, essentially. As far as your team, you just keep getting mixed in with a poor team. And while I get that sucks, theres not much we can do on that front.

Fourth point is where are all the weapons EU had access to, are you ever going to release those? (really want a GM reply on this point).
We have stated that eventually we will re-release some stuff from both versions so that we can give chances to all users to have equal footing. However, we don't have any specific dates or plans to share about them at this time, and they will likely be on a case by case basis.

And finally, i bought a logitech g900 and when i play with it my crosshairs wiggles as if its a snake, any ideas?
Check your polling rate. We've had some reports that some polling rates are set too high and make the mouse jittery.

We always add patch notes to the patch page, and we do announce upcoming maintenances before they happen, even if sometimes its a few hours notice. For upcoming contents, it is generally something we do not share ahead of time because things can always change last second.

Added my points in red, thanks for taking the time out to ask these, a lot of them are good points and should be considered. (And for a change, they're well written without yelling at us :P )
