Player Experience at the Top

Unknown

You're doing well, you're at the top. You're encounter MMR hell but you manage to find some worthwhile people. Oops. You screw up but you think you can still be fast. 2 minutes unshielded should be fast enough.

As far as I know I was queued beforehand and battle completed while I was unshielded.

Random tip of the day (I only made it 10 seconds into the video and it just irked me):

Pressing spacebar opens up the next match on the previous node, so you don't actually have to go back and forth with your mouse between skipping a match and opening the node.

I Irk you some more. So I skip a ton of people. Look at their rankings

Wait, where did you get a video of me (trying to) play MPQ??

If it makes you feel better bug, I do a lot of skipping too...through those same 1,2,3,4 point matches. It's crazy it gets like that....and matches us up to, at times, people with level 15 characters and a loner for 1 point.

I was thinking of maybe streaming MPQ at some point on my twitch.
I didn't think it would be that interesting so I didn't do it before.
Might just stream it when I open all my tokens or something, or at least all my heroics when Nick gets released.

Not sure how many people on here have twitch though or who would even care, but might be interesting for all the token statisticians to see what pulls I get from my horded stash of tokens.

First one is understandable - when I see any of you big climbers I save you in my queue until I am finishing a climb (I have had reckless queued up for 18 hrs or so). Because of that you could always take a random hit that happens when your shield is down.

I've got no words for the second video.

There were a few people who I remember streaming on twitch. I've made a couple videos in the past, but always figure watching MPQ must be really boring...unless there's a very specific strategy being shown off.

I do wish making videos of MPQ took off at some point, though.

Twysta

Yeah I've never done because I'd just assume it'd be really boring.
I wouldn't watch it. Maybe for the odd thing if there was a good reason, but otherwise, no.

I think people would only do it to see my ugly mug.

Unknown

I would be interested in watching videos of notable players.

daveomite

I would be too. No ugly mugs though please.

What about scottish tinted commentary?

So I spend 7 minutes and about 2500 ISO finding an opponent worth more than 8 points. So I'm at 1500 rank points and I'm mostly queuing players with only one point. It's curious how many players I queue with a total of 0 rank points. I'm unhappy that I'm being taxed to skip players worth 1 point to me. I'm even more unhappy I'm being matched with players with 0 rank points.

Do you have a scottish tinted accent?

What's it like getting 1500 points? Or anything over 1000 points?

Yeah I spend thousands skipping every PvP now. Can't find 3 decent nodes to even shield hop effectively. It's the opposite of fun

Getting to 1200 and 1300 can be exciting and infuriating.

This. Once you reach 1100 or 1200 + You're gonna start getting hammered constantly regardless of your roster. Even if you have a max roster there's going to be some guy coming up with 700-800 pts that can beat you and will take your 40pts all day.
