Great post!

A small server-side patch was deployed today. Changes detailed below.

AVA/Conquest

Attacking teams that fall below 7 players will now automatically be withdrawn from the attack.

Combat alert hud now only appears when your alliance has a territory under attack that needs additional players. Still appears on full teams during the bidding phase - will be fixed soon.

Combat alerts now properly reappear when a defending strikeforce withdraws from a territory.

Combat alerts tab on the Conquest map now shows all territories under attack, including full missions.

Mail

Upgrades that are moved from mail now display their stats properly.

Removing attachments from mail properly updates the attachment grid.

Auction House

Auction house sorting should now group item names. Still a problem with the Time Left sorting that will be fixed soon.

AFK and Bot Detection

Added additional detection to determine when you aren't pulling your weight in missions. We all have good laughs when we catch a botter and strip him of his unfairly earned goods. Keep it up!

Infrastructure

Additional server capacity was added in the London Data Center.

There are several threads already about what we are doing with hackers

That is a UI bug that is being patched in asap.

To answer the original post, it was a game design decision to turn off dyes by default as to make the game play read easier, especially for newer players.

Per pixel is already in the current system. The DX10 support in the Unreal engine was just having performance issues that we wanted to see cleaned up before we released it.

Or you can wait until we have full DX10 support

It's based on the Microsoft Trueskill system (not ELO)

We review stats frequently and the system is actually extremely accurate so far. (check your win/loss ratio after 20+ matches and it should be around 50% if it's working correctly)

On your new system you should be at 60fps, something is definitely wrong.

Make sure you have all the latest drivers, many times when you get a new system the drivers are outdated. Also, check some other Unreal games to see how they run if possible.

More PvE content coming, maybe fight outside the dome?

- Healing grenade will cure everyone including the healer (if he/she is in range)
- Med Crates (from robotics) will cure poisons
- Healing wave will only cure players around the medic (but not the medic)
- Health nuggets will cure poisons

FYI -- even if you are routed to North American servers, you will be playing only with persons that queued that Europe queue. So, everyone you play with should be at the same disadvantage (except for maybe that Oregon guy above .
