I consider 0.75x to be overrated, and in any case I consider the NS-15M to be better overall than the Orion. The REAL solution to ADAD hitbox shrinking is to grab a Cyclone/Armistice and face rape them at 1.0x ADS The ADAD macro people jump right and left a lot but do not move forward, do not move more than a meter left or right, and don't turn because they're not used to having to do these things. Run right up to them and circle them while dumping rounds into their head. If they're at midrange toss a grenade to force them to have a normal hitbox for a second or just hang out and jump them when they engage someone else

In the NC, our colors don't run. Or go side to side. We plant our feet and make our homes there. 200 damage death spitting homes.

On one hand, near infinite resources and the ability to pull all the poo poo you want is objectively bad for the game. On the other hand, near infinite tanks means near infinite lancer nest certs.

Segmentation Fault posted:Higby was right. Players no longer pull air/tank/MAX/air/etc. in a cycle. Now they just don't stop pulling air. This is the best thing about the patch when combined with the walker buff.

[NC AIR DOMINANCE INTENSIFIES] I don't feel like vehicle spam is more of a problem. A lot of people are going to do this at first but it's going to scale back dramatically once people run out of reserve grenades/C4 and start running up against spawning costing them nanites potentially Personally I love it. Lancer camps are nice and all but a Phoenix is great all by itself and is FAR more portable. I think I may have this thing auraxed and move on to my Phoenix AE thanks to people pulling AI MANA turrets instead of MAXes sometimes now. I'm using it indoor and getting tons of kills, and with the -50 modifier it gets toward MAXes it does great damage to them too!

The biggest nerf vehicles ever got was having their xp to kill raised, so people actually pull AV/AA now. That being said, Higby double it again.

Gaghskull posted:Also, if you run out of nanites spamming AV grenades, then perhaps you should stop throwing so many? Never stop throwing AV 'nades  AV 'nade spamming TAS for ~30 kills in 2 minutes was the only time I ran out of nanites all day yesterday. I'm not sure how I feel about the nanite/resource change yet. On one hand it's nice to have virtually infinite consumables and vehicles. On the other hand holy poo poo are there are lot of bad A2G ESF pilots out trying to farm now Epic High Five posted:[NC AIR DOMINANCE INTENSIFIES] If NC AIR DOMINANCE means SG, SMG, CML and BL are going to swarm midsized fights with terrible A2G pilots I'm totally OK with this. They completely underestimate the DPS you can dish out with just one lockdown burster max.

So is the GODSAW on live as good as it was on Test? I read an arghypost that said it was crap. Is this true? I just got the Anchor from my Certmas and I want to know whether to bother chasing the extra 3000 or so kills I need to get it...

They completely underestimate the DPS you can dish out with just one lockdown burster max. Below 500m sure, but above that there's the roving gank packs of 3 Reaver teams and when people bitch about NC air it's usually them. Anyway I've spoken to them and they pull mass air the same way GOKU does, which is to get some kills and die. SG especially has grown INCREDIBLY fond of rolling out with 30 A2A lockon Reavers The difference is that now NOBODY has to wait in between pulls so it's got 100% uptime. Even a rank, vile newbie need only keep their chariot up for an average of like 3 minutes (starting from 750 nanites) to pull them back to back Clamps McGraw posted:So is the GODSAW on live as good as it was on Test?

Everybody is bitching about bloom and blahblahblah but it's not a big deal. The "thing" with the SAW has always been controlled, short bursts because that's all you'll ever need at all ranges. A gun like the Betelgeuse that may need to mag dump is going to be hurt worse from it, and the Butcher which never had a bloom problem anyway won't even notice it. Also the GODSAW starts out from perfect, 0-deviation accuracy so it's at an advantage bloom-wise for the first 5-6 shots. This just means it's the most accurate gun in the game for the first 4-5 shots. Not a big deal considering the subsequent shots are only less accurate by like 3%, and even then the guns it's less accurate than are quite accurate themselves. I'm still about 1,000 kills from it but I'll report in full when I get it and use it. Epic High Five fucked around with this message at 18:52 on Aug 6, 2014 |

If you aurx the battle rifle do you get the special battle rifle then or are there other crazy things you have to do for it? Also autodrive working with Map/Gun Shop up has already claimed one of my tanks. Thank you higby for making this possible.

Personally I would settle for assist exp on vehicles being increased. Super annoying to put 3 rockets into a tank only for other people to finish it off while you are reloading.

Anime Schoolgirl posted:If only engineers got access to scout rifles As someone who considers that class of weaponry to be pretty much useless because it's infil-only, I agree wholly. I'd love for Medics/engies to get the iron sight scout rifles (Shadow/Vandal for NC) so that players who play back a bit to support have some more options, with the higher zoom ones remaining in the hands of the infils. I'd still probably never use them but for people whose playstyle is "battle rifle or uhhh" like long-range oriented TR/VS Medic/Engie it'd be really nice. The NC have the Reaper/Tross of course BadLlama posted:I should of used my cert refund on my TR to max out MAX Repair system so I could just max 24/7 and not care about engineers. I usually do this but rocket primary has become such a huge thing out of nowhere lately that I cannot recommend it

I've got rank 4 and, while I'd love to not get soloed by C4 fairies, my uptime is way better with autorepair and I can generally dunk rocket primaries pretty easily unless there are a full spectrum of them. Would suggest.

I think that the new resource system can only really be judged once the whole siege/ANT/resource starving mechanics get implemented, and in the meantime I'm just going to treat the Summer of Infinite Tanks (to blow up from outside render range) as a gift from Higby.
