I rarely find a PPA to gun and I have had really lovely luck parking and jumping into the gunners seat of my own, I did dump about 1.8k certs into my Harasser today and made a random gunner happy though when I found three AOD Sunderers parked in a group. Mostly have to make due with the post-nerf HEAT which still has its moments.

It's always the guns I hate the most that I do the best with. For example, with the HEAT (last thing to aurax before lighting directive), which I can't stand because it's junk, I have a 1317 SPH  . It can't kill tanks for poo poo, but I have 24 VKPH (the #1 guy on the DA leaderboad has 21.2). I have 70.8% accuracy, with the #1 guy having 67.8%. I don't know why I'm not on the leaderboard since I'm at 518 kills with it, but the only stat I'm not well ahead of the leaders with (besides raw kills ofc) is KPH, which I land at #3.Just wanted to brag a little  Ninja edit: The DA Leaderboard is strange.

Compare people who used the TAR or the HV45 for 5k kills before they were nerfed, or the MSW, or the SV-88. The guns behave entirely differently now and comparing pre-nerf stats with post-nerf is just

wei posted:Most people have already seen these. I want to know what was going through the minds of those guys using the Equinox and Corvus. Why is there one gun that's so heavily favoured for the VS in these classes? VS weapon "design" is as follows: take one (1) TR weapon, now gimp it somehow, and give it to VS. Watch as even gimpy TR clones become the best available weapon in that weapon class. High-five your weapon designers, because they're basically retards. The Orion is generally better than the other LMGs. The SVA-88 has a niche, but the rest are generally not as good. The Terminus is hilariously better than literally every other VS assault rifle, and that's not hyperbole. The Blueshifts are the "ranged" MAX AI weapons. So yeah, Orion, Terminus, and Blueshifts doesn't surprise me at all. The reason TR is spread out is because they have, you know, some actual choices in their weapons. VS generally has one or two guns that are strictly better (especially in terms of ARs and carbines), and the rest of the guns are there to aurax and then forget that they exist.

Hey! Count your blessings mister! I've missed so many headshots cause I didn't account for the pixels worth of drop that most guns have at the ranges where one is actually useful in a fight! So is the game safe to log into or are directives still getting wiped regularly?

Obviously the reason VS players who dual faction with TR are so bad at using TR guns is because we've gotten used to the crutch that is no bullet drop.

High-five your weapon designers, because they're basically retards. Blueshifts are actually inferior max weapons because they basically turn your max into a giant HA, sure if you play like an HA they will be awesome for you but for a max crash you actually want nebs/cosmos. Dual exmag cosmos allow you to crash into a point then proceed to kill every single enemy in that point room before reloading. Theres no aiming required just point yourself in their general direction and don't let go of the trigger. Blueshifts require you to aim at their heads instead of wildly spraying as you run wild in the point room.

Ever since I switched to Emerald TR from Connery VS, I've seen a notable increase in the number of people who will just throw themselves in front of an allied MAX while they are firing at something. I've had awkward moments where I'm stomping around with some random infantry, I spot a NC MAX ahead, and behold not only did the Infantry behind me run into my Mercies, but the NC infantry behind the NC MAX ran in front of his Grinders

Nakar posted:Yeah Arghy why would anybody want to be a HA with quadruple the health and high-capacity auto-stabilized guns with better DPS output than LMGs? What possible purpose could that serve? Because you could instead run around with better DPS and 50% more bullets to shoot? Blueshift vs cosmos is a great example of paper vs reality, the times you are engaging someone at 50-100m in a max compared to the times your rushing into a small box filled with hostile enemies. Blueshifts are great for when your just running around as a max with no goal other then kill mans but when your breaching a well defended point filled with hostile infantry you want the stronger guns that dont require aiming and reloading. Cosmos are great for small rooms where your CoF doesn't matter because everyone is within 20m of you, blueshifts are great for small/large open bases where your lack of fall off and accuracy matters. You can actually swap between weapons and cater your max experience to the battlefield!

I watched one guy get hit, step back out of the line of fire, then after waiting for his shields to regen walked back in despite that he watched a good ten seconds of solid chaingun fire at the same spot. What I'm saying is that pubbies are goddamn idiots.

Yeah, the game runs like absolute garbage and I'm frightened about losing my pixels, so I'm taking a hiatus until they get their poo poo together, which is good because I just realized DkS2 has DLC. Nanites are eating like 1/10 shots, I randomly drop to 15 FPS and stay that way until I restart, random crashes and freezes, and the assortment of new and exciting bugs are much worse than invisible rocks in biolabs or the usual SOE poo poo. No loving cowboy hat either, what the gently caress.

I figured out a long time ago that the best combo is actually running around with a Blueshift and a Cosmos arm, you are never not firing bullets. Though I do tend to run dual Mutilators instead of a Mutilator and a Mercy because accuracy becomes a secondary concern when you're spitting out bullets that quickly; dual lockdown Mutilators do to infantry what a dual Walker Sunderer does to air.

Yeah I dunno what's the deal with the delay of the latest player studio cosmetics since what, March?  Guess they're just really busy fixing their back-end dev stuff, but I guess the end result is a more powerful dev team with bringing the PS4 team over.

Does anyone using a Recursion voicepack other than Bill Sussman have favorite sound clip/cheevo combinations? I'm looking to add a little variety to my mashup. Right now I've trimmed down some of the 20-30s clips in Bill Sussman and added a few things from Soupy (the top gun clips for ESF kill streaks) but I'm always on the lookout for some good new ones. I really should get around to editing an "I'm the Juggernaut, Bitch!" clip for the Juggernaut cheevo.

Valkyries are basically the AV Mana turret buff I've been waiting for. Flys slower than an ESF, has to fly lower than an ESF, way fatter than an ESF, likely to give at least a single kill per strike, and higby help us might actually give kills based on nanite cost in the future. http://www.gfycat.com/ImprobableIllGoshawk http://www.gfycat.com/DazzlingImprobableCobra
