URL reputation hits happen with some frequency unfortunately, it just means whatever they are using as their "bad url" datafeed marked that url as bad.

Virustotal doesn't show anything malicious and there's various ways a URL can get marked as malicious. I suspect they'll clear it up in a few days with steam, I'd imagine steam has a override that they can use for false positive URL blocks.

Yeah they pooped up. You should totes be auraxo for the entire year. Don't worry they'll fix this soonish and maybe give you something special for their gently caress-ups.

Isn't GTA online still broken? Like almost none of the features they promised (multiplayer heists!) are actually in the game?

Also that medictool change, will the ammo for it be replenished by ammo packs? Cause if so they may as well just pretend that the ammo doesn't exist, cause there is always an ammo pack. And if an infil EMPs the ammo pack away the engineer can just press F and mouse 1 and promptly drop another one with no penalty.

Why does everybody assume a tank melee attack is just for infantry? I'm talking about an anti-harasser pincer attack or something.

It's called ramming the enemy tank with your battlebus. Try it some time. Seriously, it's the battlebus' most powerful attack.

I was on top of the sundy shed and i would pretty much die when 8 of them would run in all directions then turn around and try to shoot me haha i could only kill 6-7 of them before i ran outta ammo! I killed this HA 3 times in under 1 minute, he would be crouched by this tree and every time i killed him he would get rezzed and go right back to the same loving tree. AOD does have some quality LA's though--stopped me from totally stomping the ground because i had to watch the roof.

AOD needs to create a feeder outfit, the usual poo poo zergfit then a medium sized quality outfit where they separate the decent guys from the shitters.

A reptile dysfunction
On the PTS now

quote:

The Zealot Overdrive Engine, Aegis Shield and MAX lockdown are receiving some adjustments:

Aegis Shield: Sticky and anti-vehicle grenades will no longer stick to a MAX unit that has their Aegis shield active.

Lowdown: Time required to lockdown is being reduced from 2 seconds to 1 second.

Zealot Overdrive Engine: ZOE damage at extreme close range is being increased while damage will decrease over range more rapidly and eventually become lower than normal.

For anti-personnel weapons, Zealot overdrive now increases the damage of the weapon to require ones less bullet to drop an infantry at 10 meters, but sometime after 15 to 20 meters, damage is reduced.

Quasar VM1
Max damage while ZOE increased from 184 to 200.
Min damage while ZOE decreased from 143 to 125.
Min damage range while ZOE decreased from 75 meters to 25 meters.

Blueshift
Max damage while ZOE increased from 158 to 167.
Min damage while ZOE decreased from 143 to 125.
Min damage range while ZOE decreased from 75 meters to 25 meters.

Nebula
Max damage while ZOE increased from 158 to 167.
Min damage while ZOE decreased from 112 to 100.
Min damage range while ZOE decreased from 50 meters to 20 meters.

Cosmos
Max damage while ZOE increased from 184 to 200.
Min damage while ZOE decreased from 143 to 125.
Min damage range while ZOE decreased from 75 meters to 25 meters.

For anti-tank weapons, Zealot overdrive now increases damage within 10 meters but sometime after 30 to 40 meters, damage is reduced for the comet, and sometime after 50 meters damage on the vortex is reduced.

Comet
Zealot max damage increased from 375 to 400
Zealot max damage range decreased from 15 to 10
Zealot minimum damage reduced from 315 to 100

Vortex
Zealot charge 1
Max damage increased from 184 to 200
Maximum damage range reduced from 300 to 10
Minimum damage reduced from 100 to 50
Zealot charge 2
Maximum damage range reduced from 300 to 10
Max damage increased from 239 to 300
Minimum damage reduced from 130 to 75
Zealot charge 3
Maximum damage range reduced from 300 to 10
Max damage increased from 311 to 400
Minimum damage reduced from 169 to 100

The Burster will receive a flat damage increase for the flak. Previously only the projectile direct hits received a small benefit. This benefit is also being slightly increased to make it require one less bullet to kill infantry.

Burster Direct Hit (Non Flak)
Max damage increased from 110 to 125
Minimum damage range reduced from 50 to 10
Minimum damage reduced from 20 to 5

Burster Indirect Hit (Flak)
Max damage increased from 56 to 60

Anti-Vehicle Weapons

For the longer range weapons, we want to ensure they are effective around the 200 meter then effectiveness drops to the 300 meter mark. We also want to ensure they are more comparable to each other in terms of range and defending yourself against infantry.

NCM3 Raven

The raven is having its range brought in by around 50 meters by lowering its maximum velocity. In addition the blast damage produced by the Raven is being reduced to bring it closer to the Fracture.

Max velocity reduced from 85mps to 70mps
Inner blast damage reduced from 115 to 75

MR1 Fracture

The Fracture has the lowest effective range of the secondary MAX AV so we are pushing the range out by about 25 meters with the following adjustments:

CoF reduced from 0.2 to 0.1
Gravity reduced from 2 to 1.5

Vortex

We’re massaging some of the numbers on this weapon to get rid of some of the wrinkles. This includes changing the resist values on some vehicles and upping the max and min damage of the charge.

Charge level 2
Max damage increased from 217 to 250
Minimum damage increased from 130 to 150

Charge level 3
Max damage increased from 282 to 300
Minimum damage increased from 169 to 200

The Faction Specific abilites are pretty underwhelming, though a 1 second lockdown makes the Pounder even more hilarious.

Flak got buffed. Prepare to catch the tears of air autists.

Ravens still bullshit good at AI.

ASHERAH DEMANDS I FEAST, I VOTE FOR A FEAST OF FLESH
What is the point of making an AV or Burster max better at short range, when they are mostly long-range focused? ZOE will still be completely useless even after these changes.

ZOE needs an overhaul. I like the concept of VS abilities tending to be more toward "changing modes" since VS prides itself on adaptability, but ZOE as it conceptually stands is either underwhelming or overwhelming, no middle ground.

[arghyposting intensifies]

Perhaps ZOE should modify just the weapons, instead of MAX attributes? ZOE ought to increase the damage alpha of weapons, at the expense of more ammo expended per shot and more recoil. It could be particularly useful during a MAX crash, sweeping in and clearing rooms of enemies. However, ZOE has a cooldown like the sprint and isn't simply a toggle like it was before. Overcharging the weapons requires extra power from the ZOE module, which recharges when unused, like a Heavy shield.
