Thanks for all the up-thumbs on the new banners, M.O.Ms! I'm glad you're enjoying them.
Tex, it isn't you, it's the forum. I'm stuck in the same rut. So are a bunch of others. I haven't been able to replace my banner for weeks. Like you, I go through the proper steps, hit Save, and nothing changes. Last time I asked Joaquin about it he said the problem was Kunena's (the forum host) and we'd all have to wait for them to get it resolved. Two or three weeks later, still unresolved.
Davy, same with you. I'm sure you're following the instructions correctly. It's pretty frustrating. At least some of the guys (Zandor, Cubano, hansone) with new banners have their Profile access. I was thinking it might be a typical Apple favoritism thing, now I'm not so sure. Is there a traceable pattern there? Or are Apple as well as Android users encountering both a functioning and dysfunctional forum?
I'm also noticing a pronounced shift in game performance. A week ago I was averaging a modestly respectable 3:1 or, say, a few missions per session at 80/25, 90/30, give or take, plus a couple triple digit scores. Not my best stretch nor my worst. In the ensuing week it's all I can do to break even. If I score 75 kills I eat 50 deads. Mid-level players and even noobs are lighting me up like a lead menorah. I zero in, start firing, nothingnothingnothingnothingnothing then five, maybe ten, maybe fifteen hits and the red never falls until he's dropped me with one lousy hit. At which point he finally dies. Or he doesn't take any hits at all, just snaps my neck with a single magic bullet. It's like a sea of Lee Harvey Oswald's out there. Anyone who's played with me lately is probably sick of my grousing about constantly being killed by dead people. So...what happened? Is it my connection? I've turned off and turned on the wifi router so often it thinks we're in a committed relationship. And still I'm seeing that Stars Warsian laser-like streaking tracer fire, planes jumping and jittering all over the screen, easy prey refusing to fall after a couple dozen direct tail shots. I know it's some extreme form of lag but it came out of nowhere. Anybody else seeing the same thing? Randy's my witness, we played one a few days ago and I was getting shredded, even at 75 kills only about one in five shots I threw at anyone was hitting. I eventually had to give up. Can't do your team much good if you can't get hits to register or get registered hits to produce kills. I may have to take a page from Quit Bug J4ff and change my name to No Hit Bug Wig. Game of Tanks, where are ya when I need ya...
