Nakar posted:Cobalt is the only server that stands the remotest chance. Connery is almost completely out of this I believe and Miller has choked at every opportunity against every server. From a challenge standpoint we kinda have to hope it's them, although winning by default because Miller somehow edges them in points would be hilarious. Looking back, if AC/AOD don't take Ymir, the whole battle with Cobalt looks very different. But it has so far been the only battle where Fara hasn't specifically called out sloppy gameplay, which shows the quality of players.

This is Connery's 3rd match in a row where they didn't reach full strength (277 in this case) until 30 minutes after match start. This is Emerald's 3rd match in a row where they were at full strength (287 in this case) in under 15 minutes from match start. There is no more important block of time in the entire match than the first 30 minutes, ESPECIALLY the first 15.

TR don't know poo poo. TR don't know shiiiiiiiiiit I'm tempted to just record a bunch of footage of TR weapons being used by someone who isn't bad and cut it all into a montage set to the Kiss My rear end song, showing forum posts whining then footage of not being poo poo with a weapon. But  Also I know people will just be delirious about it. Maybe if I do do it I'll set the render quality low just to gently caress with people.

Took a break, came back upset to see there's only the loving Valkyrie and a lovely pistol - but wait, there are new guns that are kill based on other guns and I'm apparently already stage 4 or some poo poo on all of them? Are any of these worth getting/preferable to anything you can buy? I've been told the Vanu AR and LMG are fantastic and worth it. Is anything else? I'd like input on all factions. I'm like stage 3-4 on most of them and it's just a question of getting maybe 50-60 more kills on a few guns I already own and have tricked out across all factions.

Merc might be the chosen 600/173 tier gun but the Pulsar C has equal or better stats than it in every single category in exchange for 33 RPM. Lynx is also amazing but 167 > 125 due to headshot mechanics. I'm only sad that I can't Aurax it a second time now that I've switch to LA almost full time.

Of all the tanks. An AP-Magrider with a Saron has the easiest time with Harassers. One AP + a salvo will happily kill them while Magburn lets you lunge at them faster than they can really hope to react. They're basically food, which makes all the harassers I was seeing lately a great joy.

TR Aurax guns are Nice Vanu Aurax guns are Pretty Good (Battlegoose bumped up to "Sweet") NC Aurax guns are Junk (Fortuna jumping the trend and sitting at "Boss") I have the most experience with the NC weapons, and they're terrible except for the Fortuna which is a buttkicker. E: Ok before people go  on me, they're usable, but easily outshined by other weapons. The Tempest is a Cyclone with more recoil, and the GODSAW is a default SAW with no attachments except HVA and Exmags. And ain't nobody want HVA on no SAW.

"DPS" when talking about TR carbines is an instant trigger of "poster has no idea what they're talking about." Kind of like "GMO" and "chili." Epic High Five posted:That guy spent an entire 20+ minute fight at West Pass a few days ago whining about "crutch rear end NC running to their n00b Ravens"... My favorite Connery Moment(TM) recently was somebody complaining that Ravens are overpowered due to being able to efficiently kill their PPA Magrider. No mention of AI power, ease of use, anything just... "it kills me, nerf it."

Since I bought the second Burster arm with SC, I've made it my sworn mission to kill as many airspergs as possible, whenever they're around. Seems to work fine:  Plus 23k EXP from assists and Air Deterrance badges. Haven't gotten any ragetells yet though. e: Best moment was when an infiltrator snuck onto my hill, looked at me confused, then I killed him. With my Bursters. Longest TTK I've had in ps2 yet.

Had a nice chat with a clueless TR that killed my loving burster max with his banshee before i could kill him, he apparently thought that you need to be point blank to kill things with the banshee and that the AH can't kill infantry beyond 10m. Linked him to that video of that AH killing infantry at 300m and he went all silent, i then explained how to make all your banshee shots be headshots by coming in from directly above.

I'm wondering if the infil's recon motion darts are suffering from the same hit reg bug as vehicles do if you fire after reloading. Half of my shots do not "stick" when they hit a wall. The small glowing ball will not be there once the projectile stops moving. There is no motion sensing coming from it. It will not sense the bad guy moving next to it. Feels like this is also the same thing happening to the phoenix as well.

I've done my own testing with the Airhammer and even on a stationary target, you're looking at an entire mag to kill a squishie as close as 110m Just did VR testing and while its not 300m i can regularly kill infantry with 7-8 shots at 265m, its still 3 full 9 round mags to kill a max at 300m. Considering render range is 265m on VR thats entirely comparable on live when the AH is as versatile against vehicles. Considering its a shotgun and you can come from above your looking at potentially all head shots against a large cluster coupled with its AE damage. The original argument was that the banshee needs a loving nerf because it can kill large swathes of infantry in seconds then bug out before any sort of response can threaten you where the AH/PPA takes loiter time to do the same. A RoF/velocity nerf would be the best to prevent instant death and force the banshee to have loiter time.

Oh, VR There's a lot of people who post here that use the Airhammer a lot, and I'd be surprised if any of them touted the ability of the weapon >130m, which itself is a much longer range than people give it credit for. 265m is too long for a Kobalt, it's gonna be quite prohibitive for a shotgun

Feels like this is also the same thing happening to the phoenix as well. Can't speak for this specific problem, but I think something funny is up with recon darts in general again, as well. I've been seeing blips on the minimap as if they're motion tracked when there doesn't seem to be a dart. They supposedly smashed that bug last week, so I don't know what's going on.  Also the Phoenix is just a piece of poo poo right now. Every 3rd shot it seems to suffer from ejectile dysfunction lately. What a drat troll launcher. If I didn't get showered in certs today from the farm that pushed me into the daily top 20 kills for a bit I'd probably be a little upset about getting it yesterday.

The banshee and the airhammer are more similar than they are different. They're both bullshit and way more effective than the AI guns have any business being, but I also don't think ESFs should have any AI specialized weapons period so

Yeah, I have rarely landed 150m+ kills with the airhammer mainly because the target ends up moving after a few seconds of getting plinked by something. The only long range AH kills I've gotten that I can recall are when there are a bunch of people in a doorway or a roof and I'm just mag dumping on them from a good distance above. edit : smash talk What is going on with Miller and Nason's Defiance.
