New maps, new headaches.....getting a 'Change your live' setting error to play - its a total pain

They changed a lot of the playlists, and I am not digging most of them......

Epic really disappoints once again....so tired of the company

 

[quiggle]

yah i personally dont think i got my moneys worth with the season pass especially with all the glitches so after this there is suppose to be one more right? then what happens after that will there be a season pass part 2? the color skins is already past blah, not impressed and some of the achievements are very lame

 

[Matt S]

I decided to play Kingdom of Amalur demo instead...having more fun!

Servers seem to be host depended not dedicated. Weapons seem to have been altered. Maps(new) don't seem balanced.

Use retro and gnasher. Camp around corners. Use active reload. Remember when hip shooting with gnasher to look up a bit to better odds of a headshot. Grab power weapons whenever possible. Grab ink throw on person, while there stunned unload with snotty or rifle, just be sure your close but not close enough to stun yourself. Moving in-groups of at least 2 helps also. Good luck.

oh yeah, whats up with the reload thing. i have no idea what that moving bar means.

If you hit the sweet spot on the bar u reload fast and get a damage boost from rounds reloaded. It's brutal to unleash active reload with a retro up close or hammer burst from range. I'd recommend practicing in private, learning maps and weapon spawns. Horde is also good for just getting started.

Someone on the Epic boards got a message saying no dlc, no dedicated servers....not sure if random or a new policy

 

[Fritz]

For those that haven't downloaded the DLC, you will only be on servers in the Player's Choice playlist. So does that mean someone with the DLC can get paired up with players without the DLC and therefore the match won't be on dedicated servers?

I have to play some Beast tonight. I only need the Team Shaman ribbon to unlock the new "I've done it all" achievement.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

I re-up'd. it shouldn't take long to get back to 100

Last night I played a few and got kicked and it was giving me the error saying something like "I need to sign in and enable live" or something to that effect. The few games I did play ran smooth.

Yep. That's the new update/dlc glitch.
