Hey I've got an idea that will make this game better. You can disable proximity voicechat exclusively. Actually, it should be off by default. Are we still doing Totally TR Tuesdays?

Sard posted:Depending on how quickly you can flick between modes, it might be kinda crazy good. As in, you might be getting a shotgun that can fire two shots with almost no delay. A normal shotgun for most intents with a built-in Or you run slugs but still have a shell for point blank emergencies, which would make it the proest shotgun ever.

How am I supposed to go about shooting mans if I can't hear SecretlyTerran or Inlor playing the cantina music from Star Wars, or the Ginyu Force theme song?! HOW?!

If I turned off proximity chat then I wouldn't know who's being an angry jackass that needs a short break via teamkilling.

Back when I played a year or so ago I used prox chat to pipe in Danger Zone and the opening theme for Top Gun whenever we'd do Air Goons poo poo. Also Why Can't We Be Friends when defending an AMP/Tech plants

One night when I was running with my little outfit we ended up getting a hanger-on who was constantly blasting dance music on prox chat and he followed us from base to base to base in these really great squad-level fights. It was the best and I miss him dearly. Is there any way to disable command chat without disabling prox chat and other in-game voice?

Hahaha I was there yelling at my fellow NC brethren that we apparently didn't want Zotz enough and should just ghostcap other bases. Then some butthurt guy chimed in saying that NC weapons are underpowered. I swear I'm the only NC guy with smoke and IRNV.

Prox Chat is usually either a) obnoxious music/sound clips, b) stammering neckbeards whining about things.

I use Prox chat mainly to play 60's music while in a Battle Gal on Hossin and apologize for TK's. Never really had that big an issue with Prox Chat, it's really rare to see someone abusing it. Or maybe I've just muted the worst offenders already.

If you push Enter on the Numberpad you mute whoever is speaking. While still letting you keep the magic when a Prowler speeds past with a very drunk Swedish guy singing to himself.

Dont do that to yourself, embrace the betelgeuse and just sigh in contentment. Unless you already have the other weapon classes raxed you can always follow the purple road with them! I need to rax the NS11c so i'm going to be playing engineer forever then i get to work on the pulsar/terminus/NS11a then maybe the loving shotguns though i'm tempted to go stalker for awhile until i get the pistols raxed. I got the polaris but i heard its basically a NS15m and uuughhh that gun just doesn't work with my ping so i gotta see if it works or not. Theres nothing like watching as you track a moving targets head and the bullets pass through their head because their head is randomly in front/behind your aim point.

The game has client side hit detection so ping shouldn't really be an issue at all in this situation.

Its not really just ping, its just bad hit detection that gets worse at higher pings.

Yeah I got the purple fever so I need to hang up the heavy for awhile once I get the polaris aurax. I'm still deciding on whether to concentrate on playing medic or engy/LA more. I took the polaris for quick spin before I logged and it kind of reminds me of really lovely version of the MSRW.

I did 500 kills with the LSW with a laser and the polaris feels exactly like the LSW except slower reload and slightly slower RoF. I'm doing good with IRNV/ALS/comp since the comp will affect my ADS and the ALS mitigates any damage the comp does to hipfire. I might go laser on the NS11c because holy poo poo that gun gets you killed under 10m.

![]() Haha Connery's stupidity knows no bounds. I hopped on a few minutes ago to find NC and VS fighting on a road west of Chac tech plant and neither side accomplishing anything or even moving. Meanwhile some VS ghostcapped the base behind the NC's advance while the NC remained in their tanks and Sunderers motionless and clueless. How do these idiots remember to breath?

Last night on Connery I logged in, deployed to a base on Esamir, noticed a lone NC about 200m away across a snowfield from the spawn room, and killed him in two short 8-round TORQ bursts. It was like I was just brushing a bug off my sleeve or something. The loving TORQ, man.

If they wanted people's Smedbucks they had to release a gun that had something over the T1-Cycler. So we got the TORQ, who's only disadvantage as far as I can tell is it's on the TR Medic, who are already unfairly spoilt for choice. It's like the unholy fusion of an Armistice and the SABR-13, except it reloads even faster than either of them.

30 Second Artbomb posted:I'm convinced they're really poorly-coded AI. I remember thinking there was a test of some AI that someone was making en masse on Connery under the names "TRBest" "NCBest" and "VSBest" because they moved in very specific, defined ways and would run into the middle of nowhere as if they had been scripted to move certain ways. The naming scheme, I figured, was to see which batch of code / gear was the best. They all had a few unlocks each, too. Just enough to run under the radar of legitimate players, right? Turns out they were accounts made for a Korean game convention.
