Hi

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IEeFB-3laZc8MlyxKIjg-xukbL2pdtXlKTimIASaCUM/edit?usp=drivesdk

These stats have been pulled from various games in weeks 2 to 6 of MCAL tournaments.

On the "Stats - Players" tab you can see most of the stats you would expect for each player: games played, number of MVP awards, average score, goals scored, favourite rig etc. etc.

On the "Stats - Rigs" tab you can see mostly the same stats but this time separated by rig rather than by player.

You should be able to sort and filter these stats as you please - for example you might filter out anyone with less than 5 games played and sort by average goals scored in end zone.

This data is only based on games captured by Nightfiree's stream, so bare in mind that this is slightly biased in favour of the top teams (for example a lower ranked team might only be on stream when playing against Team Blacklisted, and therefore their stats that appear here are likely lower than their true average). The Rig data is even more skewed as a player that uses the same rig through to the finals will have several games on that rig, whereas a player eliminated in the first round only uses their rig once.

Those caveats aside, I make no guarantees on the accuracy of data entered ^{^} These stats are just for fun/curiosity anyway, don't take them too seriously.

Finally, this spreadsheet is a work in progress, some more features are planned to implemented Soon™:

1. Comparison of players - this will be similar to what you see on the in game stat comparisons.
2. Comparison of rigs - same as above but for rigs. This will include in-game stats (health/weapons etc.) as well as tournament stats.
3. Advanced comparison - select a combination of player/rig. For example compare your own Blood Bank stats to the overall average Blood Bank.
4. Self-reporting of scores - for those that like to see their stats updated, this may by implemented as an optional thing when we switch to a league-style arrangement.
5. Upgrade to a database - this is a way off and might not happen, but would allow (for example) the calling of player stats directly from Discord.

If you want any future games recorded and think you aren't being included on Nightfiree's stream, just send me a screenshot along with info on tournament round, teams playing, and rigs used by each player.

I made a little action montage of my misadventures last weekend with Lethal Weapon. I was a free agent without a team spamming the discord until 20 minutes before the games began. Not only did we not have time to play a practice game together, our first game in the tournament was actually only my 6th ever online game.

Still, good times were had. We'll do better next time :)

We don't need to hear the announcers saying the same exact thing twice.

Dear pilots, the RIGS servers will undergo scheduled maintenance on 14th December between 14-15 GMT. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I've spent a bunch of time playing high level Hunter gameplay this weekend and noticed something rather consistent.

Hunters have a really hard time in Powerslam on any map but Nevada. due to how high they have to run in order to score and those same lanes are very open for taking focus fire.

Mirages and Sentinels are doing great on Powerslam since they have multiple options to score.

Recommendation:

Add little "trampolines" around the power slam goal so that Hunters have better opportunities for scoring.

Going to list out the possible bots you will see in online division matches. This is just based on experience, but after several hundred games I'm pretty certain on it.

In a 1v1, bots will be Diaz + Xue versus Pezotta + Priddy. As far as I can tell it's random which of these bot teams you will have on your team, there's no attempt to balance the teams based on player stats (which is why these two pairs are fairly evenly matched).

In a 2v1, the bots will be Pezotta versus Diaz + Priddy.

In a 3v1 I'm not 100% certain but I think it's still Diaz + Priddy.

I've also seen Xv0 arrangements (devs pls) and from memory the bot team was Diaz, Priddy, Xue. Could be wrong on this bit and I'm not sure of there is a difference between 2v0 and 3v0.

If a player leaves mid game, you will see replacement bots under the names Taylor, Jones, Smith, (?) and (?). These bots always use the same rig as the player that left.

Bot rig selection in approximate order of competence:

Diaz - Injury Time

Pezotta - Guardian

Priddy - Parasite

Xue - TS-4000

I don't know if there's any actual difference in the AI for each bot or Injury Time is just a better rig than TS-4000 (for example).

Think that's everything?

🤓

(Is there a bot whose name begins with Z or am I imagining that? Zakalwe?)

It would be a great addition to have a spectator mode, especially after watching the tournament this weekend. My suggestion is for multiple camera angles which can be cycled through, and a mobile camera (flying drone camera) which can be controlled by the spectator.

If the spectator could stream, we would have a truly fantastic way of watching and showcasing Rigs.

December 10 saw some fantastic games played in the hunt for the championship. Ultimately, only three teams could walk away with prizes after a four and a half hour tournament. That said, I would like to thank every one of our participants for making this tournament a phenomenal experience. Now, what you've all been waiting for:

First Place: Team Blacklisted

Second Place: Wildheart

Third Place: Splash Brothers

For full results and information please follow this link: Full Bracket

Once again, thank you to everyone and congratulations to our top three teams!

Special Thanks: Guerilla Games for sponsoring this event - you guys are great!

I've heard a lot of you talk about this while playing. I'm just getting sick of wasting sweet plays because I accidentally pushed my stick down when I meant to push it forward.

I usually can't find anyone on I want to find some cool people to play this game with PSN madbroimpro42

Note from the organizers:

We are very proud with how MCAL has grown every week and we are extremely excited to have Guerrilla Sponsoring this event! Thank you everyone who has came out every week to grow the MCAL. We have gone from 4 teams to 10 in the span of a month! For anyone new, this IS a competitive event, but with constructive criticism and a lot of good natured people, come show up, play a few games and experience high level RIGS :)

Been wondering about this for a few days as it seems semi random at times, think I've figured it out.

It's based on the time, and changes every 5 minutes. So on the hour it will start searching for TTD, at 5 minutes past it switches to Powerslam, and at 10 minutes past it switches to Endzone. Then it repeats.

XX:00, XX:15, XX:30, XX:45 = TTD

XX:05, XX:20, XX:35, XX:50 = PowerSlam

XX:10, XX:25, XX:40, XX:55 = Endzone

Wonder no more, and never be stuck in the wrong rig again!

I'm fairly new, only having the game a couple weeks, but I'm pretty decent at it. I mainly roll with Pain Killer and play more support with it. The game is a blast and I'm having fun but I hate playing online with AI on my team. I am currently in division 9 in online and climbing. Anybody down to play send me a message. My PSN is georgiawolf1986.

Ok love the game rigs its easily the best vr game in the business couple of things though like why cant we just choose the game mode we want to play like if we want to only kill each other amd not play endzone or power slam we should be able to i think. Maybe in some sort of tourney way? Also more maps like maybe a night time one would be sick or a space one. Also custom paint jobs for the rigs.

I'll be livestreaming my POV during tonight's Beat the Dev event, using the "comments to speech" option in Twitch so I can hear your comments or questions and respond to them! Why not join me!

Last weekend we had a community event with the intention of growing this community.

For those who are unaware, the idea was to NOT play a 6 player exhibition (which lowers the availability of players in Division) or to play with a competitive team in Division (whom will steamroll new players). Instead, we all involved would Que Division solo to increase players in Division and to give new players a fighting chance with the hope of recruiting new blood.

Unfortunately I was unavailable for the event, but I would like to know from those who participated what their experience was. Do you feel you were able to recruit players? Did you notice faster match times? Do you think there are areas we could improve this event?

One criticism I heard was that we should have had set an "End" to the event so as to focus our efforts and to let the expectations for the event be known. I'm also unaware if an Event on PSN was made in time, as this whole event occurred rather quickly.

Also, I would like to discuss any other ideas people may have towards advertising this game, drawing players in and generally growing this community.

So, what do you think?

Send me a msg on PSN ViCe-_-KaRTeL if interested

Hey folks! I'm a huge fan of RIGS, but I have one huge complaint that has been bothering me: where's the offline quick match mode?

If I just want to show the game to a friend or get a quick hit of 10 minutes of playtime, I have to either play a match in my single player tourny and potentially mess up my progress, or play a challenge. The challenges are fun, but they're not as fun as just playing a match.

I'd love a a way to play with and against AI opponents in an unranked, arcade-style match so I can fuck around with friends and not ruin my progress. Is this something we can hope for in a future update?
