[Speculated TU5 Fixes/Discussion Thread] [New (Speculated) Host Selection info in OP]

[OrtanaIV]

Let's Talk TU5
All updated info in orange...

According to Mr. Joe Graf's Visitor Messages, official TU5 info will be dropping in a month or two. I basically think that that puts TU5's release date down at either September or early October. Just for the hell of it, I decided for fun that I'll type out all "speculated" fixes in the Update and we can discuss them, without being savage please. These assumptions derive from statements made by the Mods. Obviously they shouldn't be taken too seriously until they are confirmed, but there's a rather decent chance of all of these happening. This is not the TU5 thread. I repeat this is not the TU5 Thread. If Epic slowly leaks info to us this Thread will be changed into the TU5 Thread. If Epic chooses to release info on their own time all at once I don't even think there'll be a TU5 Thread. Anyways...here's the list:

Speculated TU5 Fixes

* XP Bonus for being the Leader and surviving in Guardian. Source: Game W/ Devs Event.
* Possible Improvements to the Lag/Host Advantage Situation. Source: PM from Joe Graf. Joe Graf's Visitor Messages. See below:

The PM:

The Visitor Message:

* More info to come....

So let's talk...what're your thoughts? The XP Bonus for Guardian sounds really good, and I think it could possibly turn it into the most played Game Type. And even though it's not confirmed, possible improvements to the Host Advantage/Lag situation is always a plus. Fixing that would fix about 98 percent of the problems in the game.

Your thoughts?

The host advantage thing sounds nice. I heard they're doing the same thing Halo and COD did by adding artificial lag or less stronger damage or something.

I think an old school playlist would make everybody happy.
Might even bring the Gears 1 hardcore fans back.

Here's the actual PM. Ghoto received it and he forwarded it to me. If there is a fix for Host Advantage, I don't think it'll have to do with Artificial Lag.

One to Two months? You got to be kidding.

They need to fix the goddamn lag before they do anything.

It's quite evident that you failed to read the OP.
