Reverse boosting?

[maazsk97]

So i used my reverse boosted account to see what mm does and the connection felt better even without the netduma. I had no intentions to ruin others game and i don't like cheating. Is it ok to reverse boost for testing purpose?

Reverse-boosting is naughty.

It makes me sad.

[bagsta69]

I never had a reverse boosted account and played AW to the end of its life. Mostly hc Dom, it was a sweaty game sometimes with really close matches and at times I hated it. Although when you did win it felt like you earned it.

However I played it to its death and will say in my opinion it was/is better than Blops3.

There was a fair bit of reverse boosting in AW as people couldn't go public stomping and they cried like little girls about it.

I only use this account when i want to relax and enjoy the game instead of just getting frustrated and losing every game with bad teammates and this is the only fix i have found for this broken game and if you don't have a netduma this is the only fix available. No need to be rude dude . Sorry if i have offended somebody i will take this post down right after i figure out how to do it hahaha.

 

You haven't offended anyone dude.

It's good to test things, that's how the great scientists learn.

(Boosting is bad though, mkay).

I've edited my post to include another method to improve hit detection.

 

Lol, you haven't offended anyone at all, you should leave it up there, wear that 'reverse boosting' badge of honour with pride.

 

I wasn't being rude, I was joking, you're post was a joke right?

ok

[ColonicBoom]

Ok you can take it as a joke i will completely change the topic to a little bug that i have been facing with netduma as i can't delete this post for some reason. You people are starting to think that all i do is reverse boost lol. I just wanted to see how responsive the hit detection is and what mm does on a new account. Didn't you see the official netduma video where they use the geo filter to limit the hosts and avoid foreign hosts and they prove it that the closer the host is the more responsive the hit detection will be. Thats what i was trying to do eliminate skill so mm focuses on connection and i saw improvement. For some reason i get bad hosts on my main account so i wanted to test out what could it be and im pretty sure its sbmm. Anyway I think this was a stupid post im sorry im new here bye.

 

 

I once had a cat that stole my bacon off my breakfast plate (she boosted my bacon!)

I now have a small cat-fur rug.

omg what did you do to the poor kitty?

It's not ok to reverse-boost or boost.

 

You ever think what happens in the games where you're reverse-boosting?

There are other people on your team that are trying to play properly but they can't compete because you're reverse-boosting.

Does it only matter when it suits you?

"This broken game". You broke those lobbies for those other people.

 

You haven't offended anyone at all, you should leave it up there, wear that reverse-boosting badge-of-honour with pride.

 

To be fair, when I see my teammates running around with a wrench in hardcore search it is no better than reverse boosting and nobody says anything about it.

oh man, I get so pissed at those wrench-runners!

Why they can't just use it as a secondary with awareness and just pick them off on corners, I'll never understand.

Fuck awareness, how about dead silence if you're trying to sneak up on someone?

Placebo reverse boosting does not work.

 

There are players of all SPM and KD in my lobby's from a low of 0.20 to 3 sometimes.

[Netduma Fraser]

You're free to do as you wish of course but we don't condone it.

[maazsk97]

On my main account i have a 2.5 k/d and drift0r explained that once you hit 2 k/d you will start to find easier lobbies. I guess he was right now i find mixed lobbies. Sometimes full of tryhards sometimes full of noobs. Before that it was mostly tryhards unless i party up with my low level friends.

[daz]

whats reverse boosting?

[maazsk97]

whats reverse boosting?

When you kill yourself in a match constantly to lower your k/d and spm to find much easier lobbies. This only worked in AW as skill was a priority in mm system.

[daz]

ah right, ive always wondered how sbmm works if your in a party say 1 person has a 2kd and the other has 0.8kd what then?

the only true way ive ever found to get easy games all the time is to party up with my brother that never buys map packs and never prestiges and every game since mw2 has been easy with him in my party

[ColonicBoom]

Good point. I run both.

I'm a filthy sound whore. And I love it!

I don't think it would be based on the prestige they are at, I would have thought it would be based on K/D, W/L, SPM.

 

But I don't know what happens if some in the party are highly ranked and some are low.

Maybe it goes with the party leader's stats..?

[maazsk97]

I run dead silence and awareness on all my classes its just like im relying on my headset all the time and not using map awareness to predict enemies so im now starting to take off awareness from my classes and trying to get used to playing without awareness. I just don't like relying on a headset. What if the new cod doesnt have these perks then you know im screwed lol. I have now started predicting enemy spawns and im starting to have success without awareness.

EDIT:  Not directed towards anyone in this thread, or anyone specific, just in general on the topic.

 

Please don't reverse boost.  If you MUST do it, then do it in a private lobby with a couple other "words go here"  so you don't mess up the public game the for the rest of us.

 

My jaded opinion after constantly being subjected to this early in AW:  You are flat out fucking your team mates when you are killing yourself over and over by making us play 3-5 on 6, or allowing the other team to amass streaks off of your selfish actions.  Yeah, thanks for reverse boosting that set of RAPS and a Wraith on us in the first 3 minutes of the fucking match so you can sally off on down the road to another lobby and leave us cleaning up your mess.  Completely selfish.

 

This is NOT what the #DumaArmy used to be about.

I was thinking about exactly that last night!

Was thinking, what if you can't have two perks from the same class (wildcards).

Or what if there was no awareness and no dead silence.

 

The worst would be if all footsteps were silenced completely, or all directional cues were removed.

That would ruin the game though because sound is too important for these kind of games.

These games are designed for surround sound so they should never pander to people that cry 'sound whore' just because they don't have surround sound. That's almost as stupid as making the resolution poorer because some people don't have a good quality TV.

I don't reverse boost anymore i just did once when aw came out just for testing purpose but i think my teammates still do it. I mean how do they go 0-18 every game lol. I once joined a mid game of tdm and enemy team was on 98 kills and my team only had 10 kills thats how bad they are.

Yes, please note I didn't mean to make it sound like I was talking to/about you.  I have amended my previous post.

 

IN GENERAL:  Don't reverse boost, it cheapens the experience for all of us.

[maazsk97]

I just want developers to focus on connections and not skill. I remember back in AW the mm would put me on a dedicated server like 4000km away from me i don't know if this was possibly due to sbmm but i had a 3 bar all the time and was at a disadvantage. This issue was fixed a few months before bo3 release and now i always find local players. Even bo3 puts me on dedicated servers which makes no sense as i don't live near them. I don't know why mm does this but this needs to be fixed. A good connection is important to enjoy the game. It doesn't matter what skill level the opponents are. Sometimes i own and sometimes i get owned and im fine with it if the connections are fair. I don't support reverse boosting anymore. Thank you.
