    I demand a 24/7 live feed from button cams on every employee, and I'm only settling for that until a direct neural link can be established. Resistance is futile.

    I imagine it's an initial few games to decide what ranking you should be placed.

    In League of Legends, they make you play 10 games before you're placed between bronze and gold (ranks go far above gold), and in Counter Strike:GO I believe it's 10 wins before your ranking is displayed.

    We have a best guess for the ranked stuff. The rest I'm thinking is either going to be with it, or soon after, due to how jables has been talking.

    From the Ranked Gameplay thread:

    Jables compared to US congress is hilarious. Jables has a 99.5% approval rating at his job, while US congress is something like 20% or less?

    I voted no, becuase there are some things that uber hasnt commented on, and seems to avoid talking about it. Namely the 'issue' of such terrible ingame textures.

    It is great that they are giving us updates on lots of stuff, but some stuff I think they might be leaving out...

    They say that 512X512 saves Memory and space... These are COMMANDERS! 1000$ Commanders! How many ingame can there possibly to effect performance? Commanders are signature units. They should atleast have decent quality textures!

    Seriously, first world problem, right ?
    There's no way you can actually notice it when playing an actual game, and barely when testing stuff.
    Stop focusing on your pet feature, they can't comment on everything, and have to prioritise more important things with the limited resources they have ...

    Dude holy ****,

    I hope uber takes a moment to go and look at the screenshots in that thread, look how awesome it looks! Having real canyons and raised terrain like that changes this game so much, that looks so sweet, *please* can we have actual mountains and actual canyons and stuff uber? Pretty please?

    The first image was a really old Alpha one, I hope one day we can have them back in vanilla.

    I fully agree, I loved those old mesas and the verticality and strategical value they gave to the map. They may conflict a bit with the current desert CSG brushes, but retexturing so they blend in better shouldn't be too much of a timekiller.
