I'm jelly.

I'm also irritated that the game has been made brighter. Blacks don't look lack. It's all grey.

I didn't get a chance to play it or turn on my XONE last night but looks worse how? Gameplay-wise or that brightness change thing. Don't know why it was adjusted. I never thought it was too dark to begin with...

I dont know about anypne else but the ranking system is glitchy now.

I'm only a level 4 and I beat a level 12. I only got a hair of exp. Then, I lost to a level 5 and was deranked to a 3.

Then I won two games and the second one was a rank up match. I never got the rank up until two rank up matches later that I won.

Plus, I was experiencing horrible lag after the patch. It coupd have just been the people I was playing.

Anybody else have any of these problems?

There have been conflicting reports of this. A few have said the same with the lag.
Devil Jin said he's had no issues whatsoever since the patch and so have a few others.
I haven't even been online yet so I can't comment.
