I'm having stutter issues when I load into a new area i.e. when I redeploy or fly across the continent, especially if the area is heavily populated. Is an SSD or doubling my ram (currently 4GB) the best remedy for this?

I always imagined that big outfits' main and primary concern are to take a bunch of randoms and make them charge into a direction, while the outfits like GOON and GOKU are more tactical and do things like MAX rushes and things (to better extents). I always imagine goons as, like, the "elite" players in video games ohmygodicantbelieveijustsaidthat.

We paid  to post on a forums, that's like the exact opposite of smart.I made a VS on the test server to try to get my hat, and I tried using the Spiker as often as possible before giving up and just  with the Orion for a while before ragequiting from the unceasing HE spam at the only fight. The Spiker is terrible, dear lord. The charge is pretty garbage, so you're left with the RSI-inducing clicking.

Everyone should double check their loadouts again as a recent hotfix to fix the last ALS/ALG loadout bug seems to have unequipped all my advanced forward grips from the relevant weapons. Yes, I have them unlocked, they simply unequipped themselves this time. Fun fact about the Spiker, if you double-click on someone's head it will fire four bullets and kill them. If fire a charged shot at their head, it will fire 4 bullets and leave them with a sliver of health. Choose your own emoticon.

Go into the graphics settings and turn off "Smoothing." It's a feature to prevent sudden drops in framerate, but it caps you at 60fps or whatever it considers "stable".

How can you hate the SAW?! The SAW is love! The SAW is Foregrip, compensator, and I prefer the 2x sight. Don't spray it around like a CARV, ADS, click heads. Or aim at the enemy's crotch and hold LMB until your final shot to his head kills him. Playing other HA guns just doesn't feel right, like I shoot and I shoot but nobody dies!

Maybe the compensator makes the difference, but it just feels like a 100 mag reaper with shittier accuracy, which I'm sure is cool for some people but I couldn't care about the LMG-sized mag; I use the GD22 normally when I'm playing heavy.

I have a hard time believing that someone can't appreciate the loving unicorn that is the SAW. All of the other NC 200 damage guns are limited by magazine size, but not the Gauss SAW, a gun that has 100 loving rounds, giving it a ridiculous 20,000 DPM. No other gun can come close to that. Sure other guns like most of what the TR have are toted as ~super death lasers~, but the raw killing potential of the Gauss SAW over a longer period of time is unchallenged.

The SAW is one of the first guns I auraxed in this game, way back when. It is still one of my favorite guns. Once it clicks with you, you become a war criminal.

Well you're the one who recommended pistols that charge up to be a one hit kill, so I guess they're just listening to you! The same people who use ADADAD macros will use click macros with the Spiker and it will be irritating as poo poo because the Spiker has better possible DPS than most primaries. Just like how the Orion would be pretty unspectacular in a perfect world where mashing ADAD didn't shrink your hitbox (though I consider the gun pretty unspectacular already). Everybody else will just have to deal with it it seems. alarumklok posted:You've clearly never got a $10 blowjob from behind a Circle K You'll come around. Everybody always does. Use the 22S or EM6 for now, THEN return to the SAW. For whatever reason this seems to be the thing that people need to do to fall in love with the SAW sometimes It has fantastic accuracy for ANY gun, much less an LMG, but it's a less forgiving beast than the DMR because it's also the least accurate gun in the game if you're moving or bursting for more than 8 rounds. If you crouch and move I've found the accuracy is still pretty good though simsense cumshots posted:I can't seem to manage a x2 sight except when I'm outside on a mountaintop somewhere.

I've got over 10,000 kills now with the 200 damage guns and at least half of them were within shotgun distance. Fact is they've got an absurdly brutal TTK with headshots (on top of the alpha meaning more flinch) and without a headshot it's still going to be good enough to mean that the determining factor in a fight is going to be something else.

I really wish they would do whatever is required to a.) make the scopes line up with where they're actually shooting and b.) make the red dots/holo sights loving illuminate at night. Jesus gently caress, you can't use those loving red dots at night. The dot is huge during the day and often occludes your loving target, AND at night you can't even loving see the thing because it's dark as gently caress and the same loving color as everything else.

I wouldn't mind if every life was this short and still this rewarding. We were defending the top of some Z-shaped stairs, I was half way down when I saw a few TR turn the bottom corner, tossed my grenade and hip-fired on my way back up to the top, hid behind one of the weird computer things in the room until the first two guys ran past me (at this point noticing that I was the only person left defending the room) then jumped out to knife the third guy before getting promptly shot in the head with an arrow. Props to the guy with the Hunter though, most people would have unloaded half a clip of their primary in hip-fire and taken out a team mate or two. I don't think I've ever been killed by a sticky grenade but I really like to think that if you get one to stick to a person's face it obscures their vision and they panic, running back into a group of allies before blowing up.

That's why all the MLGs use a pink dot overlay  The SAW still hasn't clicked for me. I'd say none of the 200-damage guns really have. I haven't grabbed them and said I was gonna use them until they do though, because the Gauss Rifle and Anchor and EM6 already click with me so well I feel like I could give up every other gun in the game forever and be perfectly happy. I can do really really well with any of them, but I just love the 167/600 tier. I also love the Gauss S and Saw S because 167/577+SPA is a really great combo. I'm really starting to think the Anchor is one of the best LMGs, though... 167/600 with SPA, not too bad of a reload (though its kinda long for its mag size), and an AdvLaser if you're gonna be stuck in extreme close quarters but don't want to Jackhammer. I'm up to a whopping 133 kills per hour with it, at almost 500 total kills, and almost 500spm, in two sittings. It will easily be my fastest Auraxium. Sadly that's on my Connery NC and I'll have to do it again on Emerald!

Also the Desperado loving owns. Its like a silence-able Underboss with an extra shot, if you land both shots from each burst. Its a great compliment to your 167/600 tier guns cause if you run out of ammo you just keep on poopin' out those 167-dmg rounds, but now in slightly slower 2-round bursts. I got a rage tell from a guy cause I ran out of Gauss ammo at range, so I pulled it out, crouched, and headshot him at range. It just feels right. I think I've been infected with FREEDOM

Holy poo poo TR is loving bad right now, 4 lightenings 2 sundys and 3 loving prowlers and a PPA/HEAT mag comes behind us. Hes dead i say to myself, nope he PPA's all the infantry while the tanks shell buildings and walls--he doesnt bother shooting at them, he just camps the spawn sundy while TR vehicles just ignore him. One DA is in the trees with a silenced MKV but hes on radar! an entire squad of TR is tactically holding the vehicle gen building covering the doors and poo poo while a LA kills everyone repeatedly right in front of them. I'm holding the point with 3-4 TR behind me, i hear 'enemy light assault spotted' and think ok they've got him. He kills me first then kills the 3-4 guys who once spotting him ducked into cover so he leisurely kills each and every one of them. A VS sniper kills me from a tower, the same tower that the spawn sundy is in that is crawling with TR. I figure hes dead but nope hes there killing TR as they all ignore him and run in a straight line. I swap to my VS char to get the welfare certs, TR and NC are trying to take a amerish biolab from VS. TR are not even shooting out of their spawn shield because they are so afraid and NC is trickling out to get shot by 3 LA's in the back. NC is somehow below the biolab again, on foot. A sniper pisses me off so i flank him and find 4 NC snipers in a little ball trying to shoot at the VS on the point. I kill them all 1 by 1 with my very loud obvious NS11c, not a single sniper blinks as they slowly die to accurate fire. Is there VS this bad to? the TR all seem to be low BR so i figure its angry joe but NC lately.... i worry about their population haha at this rate TR/NC will quit and VS will become overpop again.

The thing about the Spiker's charge is that it COULD be interesting. It COULD be useful. It's just that SOE is half-assing it. "Oh, nerds want a burst pistol and a charge pistol... ok? Here's one." Except it's the exact opposite of useful. It's a 125 damage 2-round burst gun that has RoF issues solely because of the mechanics behind what makes the charge work, meaning that -- surprise! -- if you mistime your clicks you get penalized by not being able to fire and thus probably die in the situation where most people commonly use their pistol. So it's a shittier version of a Repeater or Desperado, because it does less damage per click, and has a completely retarded fire delay thanks constantly checking if you're using the useless charge. Charging up for a four round burst is stupid. It's the SAME AMOUNT OF DAMAGE PER SHOT. It's faster, easier, AND MORE ACCURATE to just click twice. Why would you ever charge? You wouldn't. Except now you're stuck using a lovely Repeater that does less damage and can't mag-dump as quickly (thanks to the useless charge mechanic!) so there's STILL NO loving REASON to use it over your favorite NS pistol. That's to say nothing of the fact that charging on a CQB weapon is the dumbest idea ever. I cannot think of a situation where I would want to charge up a weapon, ANY weapon, in a CQB scenario. So if SOE is dead-set on sticking with this stupid loving gimmick, maybe they should actually TRY to make it even remotely interesting. I know this is a long shot, but here's some random loving ideas that might actually have a situational use, rather than the current useless gimmick: - Charge up to make it a baby Lancer. It doesn't damage anything that a normal pistol would not damage (i.e., nothing above a Harasser), but it does bonus damage to MAXes and light vehicles. You can plink at fatsuits with your stupid charge pistol! - Charge up to fire a Lasher-style plasma ball/grenade thing. Steep AOE dropoff, but it might be useful at some point. - Charge up to condense all four rounds into the same spot. This would only really work if SOE could remove any bloom/spread during the charge burst (ensuring the rounds go into the same spot), and tweak the gun so that the stupid rattling/shaking that's going on goes away or is greatly reduced. Consider even amping up the damage to 150 or 167 per round. Basically, make the loving thing a charge-up railgun. It has a steep dropoff, so it's not a long-range shot, but all four of those rounds go to the same loving spot. If you are good at clicking heads, you do mucho damage. ANY OF THOSE would be more useful/interesting than what the Spiker currently has. The current charge mechanic does absolutely nothing but introduce drawbacks for the sake of a completely useless gimmick, so quite literally any of these three options would be better. Or, they could just ditch the charge altogether, make it a Repeater/Desperado clone, and then put in a sidearm that is balanced solely around charging. The Spiker becomes the best VS faction pistol, nerds eventually get their charge thing, Smed gets more money to spend on cocaine, Higby can still be paid his hair care budget, and VS actually gets a pistol worth using. Everyone wins. Gonkish fucked around with this message at 12:35 on Jul 26, 2014 |
