I'm sceptical. Are you sure you didn't equip something that changed your agility?

I have a white titan so no.

The "Increased height" now brings you up higher than before the update, I didnt have anything equiped for agility.

Its increased control that has had the change I think - the second jump used to burst more forward, now it is goes a bit higher. Titan skating is bit harder/slower now. Part of the titan nerfs (Shoulder Charge distance, time) to balance with the introduction of the no sprint cool down artifact.

Yeah I noticed the change with increased control but increased height seems like you are in the air forever now.

The two teams look horribly unbalanced but 6 vs 6 and some very good players should be a fun watch.

No one has mentioned the great CoE modifiers this week

Modifiers
Catapult - Grenade recharge rate is greatly increased.
Juggler - No ammo drops for your equipped weapon.
Grenade Kill Bonus - Grenade kills are worth more points.

Voidwalker + Nothing Manacles + Bloom + Scatter Nades

It'll be like Week 1 of CoE again

They nerfed titan skating and shoulder charge and forgot to mention it in the weapon balancing patch notes.
Apparently one of the new artifacts, when combined with shoulder charge was too powerful.

I believe they were going to publish a second set of patch notes.

Watched first 20 mins of MLG stream in bed last night before I dozed off. Didn't see the new maps in action. I was underwhelmed with supremacy

LFG lads are cancer. Yamaha had to bail after Warpiest last night
Couldn't find anyone else free online for Golgoroth so we took to LFG for a 6th since it was late.

First guy) Joins in at Golg, "Ok, so we're gonna shoot him from this pool and swap the gaze from over here and take turns" - He leaves without saying anything. Then deletes me of his friends list. Proper scorched earth lol

Second Guy) Joins, does maybe 2 runs, keeps banging on about "shooting him from below" (whatever the f**k that means) and then hums and haws about "Ye guys aren't going to get this done" after 2 fails and leaves. Now this in of itself was fine, tbh we messed up both runs fairly fast and they were silly mistakes but anyway.
So he starts messaging on PSN about

"I'm not wasting my time, you guys strategy sucks, you'll never get it done"
"That's nice thanks "
"You won't kill him, I will get it done faster, lol"

So, I basically just stop engaging him cause I'm on to talking the 3rd guy through the run.
Then 2nd guy starts messaging me on the LFG site.

"Your strategy is bad, you are awful"
"That's fine, we're having fun "
"LOL, yeah, wiping 9999 times, a lot of fun, losers"
Funnily enough, at this stage Golg is dead and we're at the platforming section :pac:

Third Guy) We kill Golg with him on maybe run 2 (3 at worst) and he's very quiet the whole time. Then he legs it ahead to get the exotic chest and leaves instantly without saying a word.

Did a few runs of the Sisters with 5 and got faily close despite lack of ToM
Eventually Dude joined in and we got them killed.

I'm guessing only the most "elite" and horrible LFG players are left, the sites seemed fairly quiet anyway compared to when I've used it previously.
Moral of the story: LFG is cancer, might right itself next week when more players return

Yeah LFG can be bad sometimes. I prefer Reddit for raids as they seem to be more laid back.
I did an Oryx CP a few week via LFG and there was one lad who kept talking. He was taking phone calls, kept telling people to get their knights - never got his own knight. He specifically pointed out that he is the fella who tries to "keep it lit". What he meant to say is that he is the fella who "won't shut the f*** up". We actually got the raid done in about 3 attempts - but it was one of the most chaotic ones I have ever done.

jcd5971

Ah the third guy was the best tho, sprints through the jumps after golgy,

Pushes me to my death from last ledge, no revive and then opens the chest and instantly leaves, total knobface.

Good fun otherwise a few strange conversations going on though, mainly the one about the standing of the band limp bizkit circa the late 90's early naughties.

I like Limp Bizkit, my missus likes Limp Bizkit, Boiler is a class track. Most of Chocolate Starfish are guilty pleasures people love to hear at 1:30am.

Only seeing your own clan (while practical and I get it) is annoying, you're not seeing the big picture. A roster you assemble yourself even, would be the job

That sounds horrific, in fairness over the last week we have had a few bailers on the raids and they were in the clan chat not LFG :pac:
