Realized how these kinds of posts could become repetitive. I'll just list maps if I have freezes on them here, and mark the newest ones with an asterisk starting with:

'Double Agent' -forgot to screenshot as I was in a hurry to get back to the match. I was playing red death Harec, Aura Mortis, second phase against Schneider's mech, in the process of reloading I think. Ping was normal, the rest of the gameplay was normal as well. We were getting swarmed by elites, but not sure if that affected anything.

My goal was to get high enough MMR so that my accumulated pot would cycle sooner more than once every 24 hours, however...

Within one solo play session I went from 41 MMR to 33. The previous day I was 45. I was confident in my abilities and truly believed I could raise it from 41 back to 45 and so on solo. Playing with a group of high level friends would have been best, but who has the luxury of having an experienced 4 stack when they want it?

Anyway, during this play session I was a tier 2 almost tier 1, and kept getting matchmade with tier 5 and 6 players and unranked players (which is not inherently bad), but the enemies were hitting VERY hard like we were supposed to all be MAX level. Grunts took about five melee strikes on some of these missions. Elites took more. Missions that were problematic were:

'A Low Blow' - The timer ran out on the teleportation gate while I was dealing with the mobs of enemies. It was definitely my mistake not to check it sooner, but I thought they were trolling and actually would destroy it in time. Once I started applying real damage, it was too late.

'In Media Res'- We had to surrender because my teammates weren't able to handle the grunts or elites. Wouldn't bother touching the decoder, but that's normal. I could not give commands and am not sure why I wasn't the leader as the highest level.

'A Fistful of Sand'- The grunts were hurting and staggering everyone so badly that no one could complete the animation of giving the protector aleph even when we had it. The enemies seemed to swarm this level harder than anything else.

'In Shock'- My teammates were rookies and playing HIVE, Alicia, and Lycus. You already KNOW they couldn't do anything with the tentacles as those short range characters and brought every Kuzmann electricity beam my way like I was a lightning rod, but I was Harec and carried so we actually won.

Last thing I did was an Antag match on A Low Blow that I regret. Valeria on the raiders team made movement impossible for me even playing as Hans. He is my strongest Antagonist. At a lower MMR I had hoped I would have success with proper effort, but in hindsight I can see I stood no chance.

You should make it so level determines how quickly the pot resets, not MMR.

Around 5:00pm US central time I was playing as reborn alicia and was host for raiders. There was no antag. Everything was going fine, no unusual ping or anything. System was booted up like 10-15 min before the mission.

All of a sudden the screen froze (sound was looping I think) and I could not use button inputs. I closed the app, reopened it and reconnected. On reconnect, the issue repeated itself a few seconds in. I tried it all over again and was finally able to finish the match. The mission took 33-34min I think.

I have screenshots that I can upload if you need them.

The PS4 fan becomes super loud on Spacelords as recently as 12/6/2018 (last play session). Been having this occur consistently since I started playing a few months ago. Many times it is not even during gameplay, but in the home screen, loading screen, hideout screen, etc. The only game of my ps4 game library that equals it noise-wise is the latest God of War.

Not sure if the space guilds update will fix this, but if not, my suggestion is to decrease its strain on console hardware in future patches.

I am sure you guys know already, but just want to raise more awareness.

Just had two INFURIATING matches. On Short Fused, my teammates shot the extractors every time. On Destroyer of worlds, they never put aleph in the objectives.

On Short Fused the mission says "destroy wardog harvester" and the extractors actually have a health bar and can be destroyed. It's understandably confusing, although, they didn't even change behavior when i spammed melee, shots, etc at them or said "come with me". I blame them for that, because this did the trick for me when i was still the noobiest of noobs.

That match lasted forever.

The other mission was Destroyer of Worlds. Both players with aleph were holding it and not putting it in the supply pipes. Then when it came time to put aleph in the pumps to weaken aneska, of course they didn't. One guy flat out ignored me as I shot him with kuzmann's electricity for a length of time, and would not respond to "come with me", "help", etc.

I could not carry them with the constant AOE spam of that level.

Mercury Steam, can you make the mission objective more apparent and also reword some of the mission text for both?

A player named Chularypr (playing Schneider), left the game at the last second before I was going to finish his teammate, Harec. They had 0 lives left and only a Harec alive as I began a quick approach toward the elevator shaft where he was hiding to wait the timer out. This player, Chularypr, who was playing Schneider and currently spectating, proceeded to force a host migration and then returned to the match shortly after. I have video footage of him leaving, but not returning even though he did a few moments later.

I believe he just wanted to exploit the delay in respawns for the host migration, and it worked. The timer ran out and the raiders got their aleph back, and I was robbed of a hard fought victory.

The other players names are BewareTheMurder, SHADOWMISSING (Alicia), and DavoMagical (Lycus). I messaged BewareTheMurder mistakenly saying he cheated (because he became the new host after the re-connect and i thought he was also the original). It was really Chularypr, so I told BewareTheMurder sorry for getting it wrong. Anyway, I'll link my video here.

I'm on PS4 and recently had an issue with my mmr not going up after consecutive wins, but still going down after losses. I think this was a bug. Also it seems that wins only yield 1% MMR increase while losses often yield 2% decrease. Is this on purpose and if so, why?
