CTS is a beautiful boon for SA. Just saying that the difference between a J4G and pubbie is a minor one at best My big experience was with Planetside 2. Goons absolutely wreck that game so hard it's comedy gold. Try to pull a column of armor? Sorry, we've got an army of dudes with particle cannons on the nearby hill popping your tanks the moment they get off the spawn-pad. Fight a grueling battle to take a base? Sorry, a bunch of dudes in spandex witll drop in and reclaim the base at 10 seconds left on the clock! Admittedly I haven't played in about a year, but when I did play the pubs basically considered a goon player to be worth about 3-4x anyone else and my occasional peeks into the PS2 threads suggest nothing has changed. Seriously, it always made me laugh when in the chat you'd see people shouting about how [GOKU] just dropped 4 platoons on the point when we don't even have the 48 players to make a single full platoon.

Well yeah, there is just a ton of goons and all they do is zerg and they don't have glorious e-bushido like my glorious clan Lone Death Wolves  On vermintidechat, am I crazy or do the elf's bows really have no good benefits over the crossbows? Sure they can rapid fire some weak shots, but drawing it back properly takes almost as much time as reloading the crossbow, doesn't consistently OHK specials, AND can't be quickfired. It just seems useless by comparison.

I'm pretty sure elf bow is specialized for killing the swarm at range, and also doing damage to rogres from a distance. All other uses are bad.

Fat Samurai posted:Did he literally shot himself in the foot, or is the position of the pistol just an unfortunate coincidence? I'd also mock the 2 pistols 1 hand thing, but the Witch Hunter exists. Carrying multiple one-shot pistols so you could fire multiple times without needing to reload was a real thing real pirates did. I mean, it was usually like three, maybe six tops, not the 64 Victor might be carrying around, but still.

I'm glad they killed the exploit. I did it myself for a couple hours and got an orange rapier last night but it was starting to get kind of hard to get a non black powder game going.

Doing Black Powder now is horrible. Pubbies can't deal with it without exploiting. Also they moved one of the barrel spawns so it takes a little longer to do.

Now that BP exploit is done, I've noticed a massive influx of high leveled players that play like complete idiots on other maps. I don't understand the point in grinding for loot all damned day if you're going to be outdone by people with greens and blues the second you start playing the actual game. Loot is great and everything but it doesn't mean jack poo poo if you can't play the game well

Did for me when I tried popping in on a friend doing it out of curiosity. Incidentally, dying when the host has hp pools set to lolhuge desyncs. Don't think I'll be doing more testing, I'd rather not cheat my inventory full and I've already gotten my look into the architecture.

We hit a rogre with a bomb and he teleported to another area of the map by being knocked through the wall. It took like another 5 minutes before we were moving on and then suddenly got cold-cocked by an angry rogre out of nowhere on an upper level of the wizard tower. We found the Grimoire behind the secret door on Horn of Magnus because a Packmaster managed to phase through the wall and drag our bright wizard through before getting shot after phasing back through, leaving the wizard trapped in the grimoire room and us trying to figure out how to get her out.

Rat Ogre music for the rest of the level, and no more regular rat spawns or hordes aside from the barrel/horn events. Second time, he came at us while we were still at the beginning dock area, and someone chucked a bomb at him which caused the Rogre to fall into the water. Same deal with the rat spawns and music. I guess you could theoretically try to do this stuff on purpose because it makes the rest of the stage trivial.

If you get one at the beginning, bombing him as he goes through the first actual doorway will likely glitch him out. Was worried the rest of the run he was going to burst up through the floor on us or something. This is actually a really good idea for future maps: Revenge of the Rogre

The nice thing about the dupe trinket is it doesn't matter who holds the item, they duper just needs to touch it. Then other people who need it can carry it.

Al Borland posted:THat probably got written into a few grudge books. It got crossed out of the big one. After the dwarfs drove the High Elfs into the sea, the dwarven high king of the time lopped the Phoenix King's head off and them taking the Phoenix Kings' crown jewels as collateral - to be only given back once the High Elfs would openly apologise and beg for 'em. Needless to say, well over 2 millenia later those jewels are still in the high kings' vault because beating some humility into elves is a forlorn hope.
