 What's up everybody? I'm the Mangus. You are awesome. And there was some stuff that went on during the fault alpha weekend that pissed me off I'm gonna go off here. So if you have kids around, it's time for headphones Now I'm not talking about the play test or the holiday key holders I'm specifically talking about the 10k alpha weekend here. So before you go nuts Let me just say that the problem was not with strange matter studio Yes, they had some problems on the first day with matchmaking and logging in But they were quick to fix that and extended the playable time for the alpha that I mean That's what an alpha is for identifying and fixing problems I mean, I don't know how wise it was to give out 10,000 keys That seemed like overkill and struck me as a bit of a dig at made above if you know what I mean But that's whatever they they handed the keys out. They had some problems. They fixed their shit good on them I'm overall still very impressed with strange matter. No, what pissed me off was about 5% of the participants Why 5% because many of the games had one sometimes two people go AFK They would either get butt hurt because someone took their hero or they would get their shit pushed in within the first five minutes of The game and then just peace out and no I'm not going to call anyone out by name some of these afk's could have had legitimate computer or like real-world issues that they had to Deal with but there is no fucking way that all of them did there are several different reasons why these little AFK come dumplings infuriate me So let me preach on it here First of all, I know for a fact that not all of my subscribers got a key It eats away at my fucking soul that these little baby dicks took a key that someone far more worthy of it could have Used and then what afk and match there are so many people that would have been happy to play the game Anyway, they could so many that value paragon over their own fucking ego There are longtime Paragon fans out there that would have happily played through a loss Just to experience the game in its new form and these afkers took that chance from them And that is what pisses me off the most The other thing is it denies strange matter valuable test data How the hell are they supposed to work on balancing the game when one team is always a man down? They put a ton of work into fault and are ready and willing to put a ton more based on the data received from the alpha But that data is going to be skewed because one asshole per match had their little feelings hurt as I've shown in the past It takes a great deal of work just to make the Paragon assets run forward and then turn correctly The people at strange matter had been pouring their blood sweat and tears into this game and still gave 10,000 people a chance to play for free All they asked was for people to try it out and offer feedback and some of these little ask problems Couldn't even do that Final problem here. It just ruins the fun of playing the game I want all of these fun Paragon experiences back, but I could do without the rage quitters and draft orders I had a really fun hour-long back-and-forth game that had me on the edge of my seat the entire time But in the end we had someone leave when they thought that we had lost and just we just couldn't mount a big enough Comeback with four people damn near it though damn near it Here's the thing no one is as good at Paragon as they remember themselves being and everyone is going to be a little rusty People need to go into these alphas with that in mind because there's You aren't gonna be picking up pizzikills the first time you play and that's fine You don't have to murder everyone you can suck a little bit get the fuck over it move on and play the damn game Learn the mechanics test the items look for bugs and try to have some fun instead of ruining shit for everyone else That's really the point of all this we stand on the break of being able to test out a slew of different third-person Movas I just want to put it out there that if you aren't actually going to play and be constructive Then don't grab a fucking key. I know I'm probably just shouting into the wind here While you guys have varying opinions, and you can't get pretty toxic with each other from time to time I'm pretty damn sure that none of myself would ever pick up an alpha key and then rage quit games So this rant is probably pretty useless because the people that need to hear it won't and even if they do They won't give a shit because they're a bunch of selfish dick bags. I'm out of here Yeah, yeah, I know major our batches is cool because like you're fun in your old as well, but Dude, I just want to see How fast you can fuck people up with our bash Actually give him a shout out real fast so that you can go tell them yourself if you want Was that Community figures so definitely go drop No mongoose did I Mean has been I am a community dad bod I am a dad bod. What's up? I heard my name. I was in an intense fight Are you being chased mongers? Oh, no, I got her I won my fight
