What is with stage 28, the first one with the red flyers? I can never get into it with a full group. Are people just leaving because the loading time is extra long? It's hard as hell too.

Just one more player makes a big difference I think, one of them to be an air raider and set up turrets or something, and the other to knock away the red flyers while he is doing it. yeah I dunno I don't think I've ever managed to kill a single one.

If you have a strong sniper rifle that's good too, assuming you are playing through as a Ranger. I moved back to them today, flying was nice but I missed rolling.

I wish I knew about the whole dual wielding cannons makes them fire faster sooner. It has made the NCS1 Cannon Shot a force to be reckoned with.

What's the best way to make progress in this game? I was going through single-player linearly, then I tried to find a co-op game where people were playing the mission I was up to. I did and played a few more missions in co-op, but when I came back to single-player none of that co-op progress was recorded.

How do weapon pickups work in co-op? Is it guaranteed to be for the class of the player picking it up?

Being able to yell stuff like "Grrk!" when you're being eaten by an ant is hilarious. As is screaming "E! D! FFFFF!" while jumping into an ant pile Leeroy Jenkins-style.

I've tested it with my couch coop partner. The person who picks up the weapon gets a weapon for their class with a very small chance of them picking up a drop for the other class. We're talking a less than 10% chance you'll get something for the other person.

Man the jump between normal and hard is pretty insane on this game. The standard ants shoot 3 globs of weak acid at you per shot and die to one blast from a lvl20 gallion light cannon on normal. Turn it up to hard and they throw out 5 or 6 blobs of acid per shot that each deal heavy damage and it takes 2 light cannon shots or 1 blast from the hand cannon to kill them. I find hard mode more satisfying and fun in general but for a couple of missions lately where you are forced into close combat with ants and spiders (I think around lvl 20? one of them has ant nests covered by energy shields and one is in an underground chamber that gets swarmed by ants and spiders) I have had to turn the difficulty back to normal mode. Maybe I just need to get better, or get some more powerful guns for my fencer.

You can take lvl 20 guns into Normal mode? I'm playing it kind of like Diablo, playing through normal first, then use my best weapons into Hard, etc...

Is the framerate on ps3 as bad as some people say? I've read in a few places that it's pretty terrible - 15fps, even when nothing is going on - but nobody in this thread is mentioning it at all, which is odd, because if it's really THAT bad then that seems totally unignorable.

I dont know what exactly affects what weapons will drop but I think its a combination of difficulty and level. I went back to level 2 on inferno mode just to see if I could do it and picked up a really strong melee weapon, a bit too clunky to use in most situations but still fun.

No. It can get low at times, no worse than what I saw on the 360 2017. Its totally fine to me. Gaf people have been saying its worthless with 5 min level loads and a "slide show". I disagree as I simply dont see it on my PS3.

Anyone have any good unattended armor-farming strategies yet? Here's what I've been successful with so far: 1. local co-op, both players as Wing Divers; at least one weapon choice should be a rapier weapon with poor accuracy and fast reload times (the starting level 0 rapier is perfectly suitable) 2. select Level 15 on Easy (difficulty has no effect on rates or rate-gain, as far as I'm aware) 3. when the level starts, make sure to kill all ally NPCs (so they don't eventually blow up the nests) 4. blow up the first 3 sets of nests and all of the ants they spawn 5. fly to the last nest, cleaning up what spiders you easily can, making sure not to damage the nest 6. park P1 inside the nest, rapier equipped, pointing straight up; rubber-band the trigger down so you're constantly firing 7. fly P2 over, clean up whatever spiders are outside the nest, then park inside the nest a few steps away from P1 and setup the same way (rapier, straight up, rubber-band trigger) Hopefully your players are lined up in the nest in such a way that they grab item drops as the spiders are killed; if not, you might need to tweak your positions and/or periodically pick up the mounds of items. I set this up and let it run for ~2hrs or so yesterday, almost entirely unattended. My net gain was somewhere in the neighborhood of 400 health, which I'll be honest was a little underwhelming. Anyone found any better levels/strategies for this?

wonderboy posted:Anyone have any good unattended armor-farming strategies yet? Important fact here is that Wing Divers have the slowest speed of armor gain. 400 armor for 2 hours is actually fairly significant for them, as I think they need... I think it's 4 armor boxes for one point of armor.

Holy poo poo, this game is amazing. I loved Insect Armageddon (as terrible as it was) but this one is leagues more fun. Anyone on PS3, feel free to add me, I'm still in the early stages but I'm up for a game. PSN is Unoriginalism.

This game is amazing. It's like everything I liked about IA (four classes, ridiculous scientist NPC) combined with everything I liked about 2017 (Everything else) and with the best ridiculous dialogue and exploding plasma shotguns gaming can offer. "That's impossible! They cannot progress faster than science!"

We're talking a less than 10% chance you'll get something for the other person. Maybe it's different yet again for split screen but this definitely isn't true for online. I'm getting a drop for every box picked up. I rarely pick up anything and still see 5 or more drops and I know there weren't 50+ weapon drops on these missions.
