Durendal posted:Why do you think the majority of pro-tier MLG outfits rolled VS in PS2? Hint: the Orion may have something to do with it. Because they were VS in PS1. Scourge and I used to be in the same outfit until the leader decided he was done and scourge split off as Juggernauts before merging with Future Crew. SMF was the equivalent NC farmfit on Markov and later Connery, but broke up to join Future Crew because they already had a good thing going. Recursion is a conglomerate ( ) of PS1 NC outfits, including fallout from SMF that didn't want to reroll VS. I don't know DasAnfall's story, but I'd wager they were VS in PS1 as well. Can't speak for INI Elite or NUC, either. I think AC's core was VS PS1. That's all the MLG outfits I can think of off the top of my head. If you really wanted to get a gun advantage at launch, you'd have gone TR so you could flinchlock NC and VS.

The Orion seems to overperform because it's the BR100 turbosperg LMG of choice. I mean hell just look at the average BR. Filter that for the KPU of only BR76-100 characters though and the story changes a bit.. I've said it before and I'll say it again - 0.75x ADS is vastly overrated, and this is most true when it's a gun for the class whose special ability cuts their speed in half. Pretty much anything you can name, the Anchor outperforms the Orion, and it's no mystery why to anybody on the receiving end of it (or the Gauss Rifle). Personally it's the X11 among all guns that I hate going up against the mostArghy posted:HA: anchor Holy poo poo, Arghy with a straight up excellent post of suggestions out of nowhere. That makes literally 4 people in the game who really appreciate how bullshit great the Gauss Rifle S is - you, myself, Maddot, and Stew360 I'm about to aurax the Anchor though and cannot wait to put it down. For tiny skirmishes and honorabru duels it's okay I guess, but the tiny edge I feel that it gives me over the 22S in NO WAY makes up for the goddawful loving reload and reload efficiency. It's temperamental too, and I feel like it's far more sensitive to hit reg and latency issues than my 200/500 guns are. Between the SAW and the 22S I really see no point in the other guns. SPA is nice but it's not worth that reload and the double hit in velocity compared to the 22S. NihilCredo posted:Yes, Arghy, the "minimal work patch" of adding a whole loot and durability system to a F2P MMOFPS. You forgot the suggestion that all VS sidearms should be charge up to be a OHKO at all ranges with no drop. TheDeadlyShoe posted:apparently the new striker cant kill a flash in one magazine. It's going to get the same "must reload to kill an infantry" limitation as the other launchers and they're going to loving hate it. Right now it sucks though - like 29 rockets to kill a Vanguard from the side (no shield), and 63 to kill a Galaxy. You get 25 total without the munitions pouch.

I've been running it with ALS/SPA and gunning from the hip if someone gets the drop on me but ADS if i got the drop. Shits got almost the same DPS as the orion with way better DPM and almost exactly the same accuracy stats. The gauss S gets crazy when you realize its a gauss with slightly less RoF but access to a comp/SPA which is loving bananas.

And half the FSRM. The balancing factor? A loss of 64 dps  My preferred loadout is SPA/comp/smoke/IRNV though because then it becomes A Machine that Kills Turbospergs because they have their gamma cranked up super high meaning they are powerless against smoke spam. If anybody is looking to try it out, you can't go wrong with the SPA/comp/grip listed above Arghy posted:I don't remember that one are you sure your not hyperboling about pre-release spiker? It was from awhile ago, it's just stuck with me. Anchor works fine just like the Orion, they both have great accuracy on the move and "reliable enough I guess" hipfire. You just can't crush ADADAD for an advantage with the Anchor. When it comes down to it though, if it ain't a 200 damage gun I ain't interested. (unless it's the Cyclone, lord do I love the Cyclone)

I was hoping the new Striker would also home in on armor, but it doesn't seem to, or if it does, not as much as Air. Even then, just being able to dumbfire it and not having to wait to lock onto a magrider that keeps electric sliding between trees is a blessing.

Decided to take a break from grinding scout rifles cause  and picked up a Gauss S cause of EHF. Thoroughly meh'ed. Regular Gauss wasn't that great for me, S is more of the same it feels like. Even when it is tricked out. Prospect of having an underbarrel shotgun though sounds fun. I'll give it a few more tries, but I honestly like the Warden more cause I feel more accurate at range.

I think a loot system would be best served like the implant system: 1-5% chance on kill to get a random weapon from that person's loadout (pistol or primary) sent to a Locker page. You can equip a weapon from your Locker on an equipment slot just like a trial weapon [incidentally, trial weapons would use the Locker system too]. If you die using a Locker weapon, it's gone (or maybe has a 10-50% chance of poofing). Add a station-cash-purchasable "Scavenger Boost" in one-day, five-day and month-long increments that double drop rates, and boom, hard cash money for SOE. Add a 'sell back' function to get 5-10 certs (or maybe 10-25 Nanites?) to recycle weapons you already have/don't want (NS weapons or VS pistols). Arghyedit: This can be done with only two lines of code, get it done SOE!

Here's how SOE makes shittons of money from a loot system: make it so you can only loot stuff that has been unlocked (probably only with SC) on another character under your account. A guy who doesn't have anything on other factions could get, say, a T1 Cycler, but not a TORQ. Most of the defaults are pretty baller, so it wouldn't really undermine the guy with no money in 4th factioning.

This gives the game a fresh SC and cert dump as if you're using an off-faction looted gun you suddenly hear a loud sucking sound as all of your implant energy disappears and need to toss money at the game for the unmitigated joy of spraying TR down with their own CARV.

Well hitching is exactly as bad as last night and PS2 locked my computer up again.

Mortimer posted:to sum up why the orion posts such insane stats, it's not just because its good, it's because it's the only real option VS HA has. When you only have one good gun, you're going to get really loving good at clicking heads with it. I've gone back to the Orion again and again because a lot of people here say it's good and I'm just not understanding the hype. I've used it for maybe twenty hours recently trying to grid it out for directives and I have hated every second of it. I have not found a situation where I wouldn't rather use an Ursa, NS-15M, Polaris or Flare (in that order). Ryuga Death posted:For the TR MAX, should it have two of the same chainguns or a different type of chaingun on each arm? Like a mercy and a mutilator? I'll probably settle into running a Mercy/Mutilator combo as my default load out but if you're indoors sweeping rooms dual Mutilators are just too fun to not use. I spent almost the entire alert today at a biolab running them and it was great, never have to worry about ammo either. I stood toe to toe with a VS MAX running dual Cosmos and won with a bit under an eighth of my health left. If you're shelling things at render distance then Fractures are good but for anything else Pounders are great and also more handy if you run into a group of infantry. Throw in lockdown and the reload on Pounders is a joke.

I stood toe to toe with a VS MAX running dual Cosmos and won with a bit under an eighth of my health left. So don't bother with the Onslaughts, then? I figured the mutilator's ammo would keep me covered while the mercy is reloading. I tried the fractures in VR and they just didn't seem very fun, pounders just felt a lot more satisfying to use. I also prefer to use Charge on a max because it seems more handy in the long run, the only time I'd consider using lockdown is if my max had dual air bursters.

To follow up the Lod0A discussion from a few pages ago, I asked around; pinged RoyAwesome who pinged VanuLabs. Edited from steam chat log to forum readable.quote:Okay, UseLod0a - we've figured it out. It's pretty simple. Some models have two 'auto' level of detail models, either called Lod0_LODAuto.dem, or Lod0_LOD0Auto.dme. What the difference is? Probably different level of detail styles - like, less vertices or a different texture or something. Subtle changes you wont notice. The option switches between using either the LODAuto model or the LOD0Auto model.

Ok, so I knew combat medic could be a great cert farmer, but I had no idea. I just spent 2 hours healing and rezzing on a bio lab aussault, and between the shield regeneration, healing, and rezzing grenades I got over 37k points. I was pulling in like 18k an hour. Holy poo poo.
