Stress test - Open build - incoming

[smartroad]

I am really starting to hate CQC! Before I was somewhat indifferent, but now, after waiting AGES to get into a map I am ambivalent... lol

And now I am in a deathmatch against... MYSELF!! WTF How am I on my fecking own!!??

[smartroad]

Started to have a match, 4 people in it! YAY! I thought I get some harmless pewpew fun! Countdown reached 0 aaaaaaaaand sat there. Done nothing, no game, no pewpew just a boring screen. Gave up. Loading 1.3 and doing some CZing

Deathmatch = you vs everyone else

TEAM deathmatch is you and your team (obviously) vs their team.

But yea - it's bugged as hell right now.

I REALLY doubt theres no one queuing for CQC right now. It just takes ages for some unknown reason - and when it finally loads - i just get spawned in the middle of an existing session

i got into a game yesterday right as it ended, it loaded to the XP screen and i got 175 xp without even being in a ship.

as others have said, there is a lot of work to do before it goes live.

Managed to get 3 games, the last with GlobusDiablo (sorry I didn't say Hi, didn't realise you'd logged off after the game, plus how do you communicate in the arena, is it just like normal text comms?).

But most of the time it just couldn't find a game.

I had absolutely no idea what I was doing in capture the flag, so just shot at the red ships (including GlobusDiablo, sorry bud ). It's odd that it doesn't put people from you friends list or even you 'crew' on the same team

Fun though, but completely disconnected from the main game, didn't feel like Elite at all.

Good fun Xebeth. I can't find comms in CQC either, so I threw you a quick cheers from the main menu before I left the game.

Fly safe

Edit: CQC is a good idea badly executed. More problems and loose ends than I care to mention. Seems extremely half baked, lacking basic multiplayer arena features.

Fingers crossed though.

Logged in, lost key bindings, completely lost orientation, saw some red blib, got destroyed.

In my hour or so of experience with CQC it seems to be full of idiots that would rather ram you to death than engage in proper pew pew combat, don't think I'll bother with it again.
