Counterpoint: six months under the veil of ignorance is less excruciating than one month with the burden of knowledge. Knowledge such as "Chriiiist I could do this so much faster if I didn't have to stop and recharge my cloak so much."

Speaking of wasting away our precious time on this Earth shooting nerds with pretend guns: http://stats.dasanfall.com/ps2/achievements.php?id=98  It's actually pretty good as far as these guns go. Assuming you weren't using your battle rifle with a laser and nothing on the barrel so you could hipfire it reliably in a pinch, it's a straight upgrade with control and a very fast bullet. Unfortunately that's how I was using the Eidolon but  I've got the Cerberus which is pretty much the same gun in close quarters. I'll probably use this thing for 50 kills before going off to work on the directive SMG, 5000 kills of playtime well spent!

The eidolon just rubs me the wrong way. It seems like a great gun at first but after you get to know it, you start to think it's trash. Whatever role you want to use it for, you can think of another class can do it with a better gun. I dunno, maybe we need Nakar to sperg about it again.

RPATDO_LAMD posted:Auraxium medals apparently make people really stupid. Its fun because it really makes you change up your play style. I love the orion and will straight up murder you under 50m most of the time and i hated the SV88/flare/ursa/LSW/polaris but now after using them for so long i really enjoyed them. You become a better player when your forced to understand how different guns work because you realize theres so many different ways to approach a fight. Hilariously enough the LSW was my favorite gun to aurax, no idea why but holy gently caress after 800 kills i was goddamn unstoppable with it.

Headshots that dont give you a kill should count as a headshot for stat purposes in my opinion. For example, I almost always kill people with a commisioner headshot followed by a body shot (more efficient), but stats don't reflect that first headshot. It's nothing major but it would be nice I guess.

That's no scythe.  It's been a couple weeks since I played, and I was worried I'd gotten rusty. Very first shell I fire with my Vanguard I shot an ESF out of the sky, and ended the night going 48 and 2 mostly in a Viper Lightning. It's good to be back.

Ringo Star Get posted:How is it as a first person experience on the ground? I didn't play that long but when I was on the ground I mainly just walked around looking at a fight. Things like having the gun on my right (I'm left-handed) now actually was something I got annoyed at instead of not noticing in games. Scale becomes more immersive but not so much that you get vertigo and "awe" since they lack depth. It doesn't really hamped your ability to fight that much, it instead feels more natural, but the pace is waaay to quick. I never sprinted but instead just walked everywhere from cover to cover. Games like ARMA 3 are perfect for VR. Willie Tomg posted:Perspective and sense-of-body is so goddamned important in the Rift I can't imagine it being pleasant in a game whose object interactions are as kludged together as PS2. edit: I probably sound counter-intuitive but basically Planetside looked really cool in VR, but it doesn't and can't really play well. VR Desktop though was the real gem, holy poo poo is it amazing now with multi-monitor support. It essentially merges screens into one huge one and you can make your desktop background completely invisible so you see through to the 360 degree starfield (or whatever you choose) that surrounds you completely and just have desktop icons and browser windows floating in space infront of you.

You become a better player when your forced to understand how different guns work because you realize theres so many different ways to approach a fight. I used to love the LSW before they nerfed it a long time ago, I think with the same patch that changed nanoweave armor from a health bonus to small arms resistance. The FSRM was stupidly high but it had really controllable horizontal recoil, so you just aimed for the chest and held down the trigger - high FSRM coupled with low recoil and bloom would carry the rest of your burst into your target's head, and with a 75 round mag and a decent reload speed I just didn't see the point to getting an SVA-88. I used to do four-on-ones with old nanoweave, resist shield, and the LSW, no trouble. But now, it's just kinda bad, pretty much everything I liked about it has been changed for the worse  To be honest, I think the LSW is the only LMG other than the Gauss SAW that I really liked to use.

Still has bullet drop, poo poo gun. EDIT: I just can't stop mocking the official forums about bullet drop. I was playing my NC character yesterday and was missing a lot of my shots cause I kept aiming too high to compensate for bullet drop. As much as they make it a big deal I would figure I'd have to aim 2 feet above the head of everyone I want to kill.

They have a lot of really nice features, but ultimately there's only two reasons I can think of to really use them:
Also in a terribly  moment, the Warden was for some reason given a faster reload speed in a recent patch without anything being said about it, so at present it reloads faster than the AMR-66 and Eidolon. Why? Who knows. Maybe they intended to give all the BRs a reload buff and forgot to propagate it to the others, maybe they were testing it out on the Warden and never decided what to do and somehow pushed it live. Enjoy it while it lasts I guess?

I've been running the Eidolon on the Medic when possible, HA if I need a Decimator. I actually am having a lot of fun with it, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to other players. If you don't mind clicking a lot, or really like semi-auto scouts it's worth trying. KDR-wise I perform as well as I would with an automatic, as long as I work around the Eidolon's obvious disadvantages. At 30+ meters the advantages of a BR over most automatics feel significant to me. ADAD countersniping a bad infil or triple headshotting an engineer sitting in a turret feels great. My Medic loadout is shield dong and medkits, so if I don't play aggressively it's easy to disengage and heal myself back up quickly.

In general it is running better than in the past and they've added more options to turn off certain annoying features like the egregious bloom and so on.

Miller vs Connery over! Miller got crushed, it was brutal. Slow response times and a lack of Sundies does not a victory make. I managed to use a Valkyrie and make it useful which amused the Streamers though, so that's my little victory.

According to reddit, Connery's redeployside was too strong for miller rendering their 5 air platoons useless, ergo we really, REALLY need to nerf redeployside and buff air vehicles.
