Yet another reason to love the Vita


Pinhead

Recommended Posts

Man I've always felt that AC mp is amongst the most boring mp's in gaming history. Actually played a couple of matches and got a lot better at it fast, but that just made it even more boring.

 

But, I'm racking up XP and trophies now, doing absolutely nothing, just sitting here playing my Vita, adjusting the rubberband on PS3 controller and I'm soon done with all except Rank 20 and greater variety trophies, without playing, bwahahaha. In a day or two idling like this I'll even have rank 20 while actually playing something fun on the Vita.

 

Great times

Just wondering, how are you actually getting xp?

 

auto-fire stick and idling, I'm getting from 0 (almost never happens, usually lowest is around 500) to a whopping 2500 for doing nothing. I nudge the stick so I'm standing in a crowd and rotate the rapid fire between Square and Circle all after what kinda match is going on. Let my 18 month old son wiggle the stick a little, he actually made 2 kills just a while ago :D

 

And the most effort I'm putting in is when I have a long loading screen on the Vita, it happens that I grab the controller and do a few kills, stuns or whatever while that's running, but seriously, watching the loading screen is almost more exciting

 

You can hide in a crowd too, but that's a really slow XP rise, playing games like Escort helps a lot, always some auto-points there whenever the target reaches the goal (defend side)

 

Edit: Ok this is getting silly, I got Make the Headlines like this, I don't know anything about the accolades, but I must've had a few from the couple of games I played, but the rest has been coming through idling. Are there accolades for dying a lot? Man, why didn't they just skip the online trophies all together instead of something as laughable as this?

Yes. Also for dying the most, being affected by abilities the most and a few other things that require you to do the worst of all the players in the lobby.

 

I sincerely hope you're not playing team modes, though, because having a teammate be AFK for many matches in a row is probably the most annoying thing in this game apart from the insufferable lag. Any player who's not a complete rookie will be able to abuse an AFK opponent for at least a couple of thousand points per match, including free Incognito Focus Poisons on offense and insane stun streaks on defense.

Well there are games I actually love the online in that are also full of boosters ruining it for the rest of us, why should this be any different. It happens in every game I know of with online trophies, which is why I constantly bug all the devs of my favorite online games, begging them to not include online trophies in the next game, just make timesinks and impossible challenges instead within the 1plr

 

Trophies really don't belong in competetive games imo as they will never be any indicator of any achievment, as it all comes down to how lucky you are with Matchmaking more than own knowledge and grips with the game.

 

But I try to stick to the solo games when there are people on those, or like most boosters never do, just ask the room if they cool with it, which in many cases they actually are, if you just ask nicely instead of barging in doing your thing. Then they just leave me alone or abuse it all after what the lobby agrees on. Communication is key.

 

But I really don't wanna be playing this, it's boring just to see this crap on the telly, I see the others running around doing stuff and I still don't get what the point or fun is.

But it's worth it to be able to get the plat/100% memento for a great single player game, specially as I've now put exactly 35 minutes of my time into this, and I got all core game online trophies except rank 20, almost at 9 now. Is that possible in 35 minutes playing? Maybe, do I care? absolutely not
