Lemon-Lime posted:Needing to lead with it means it's useless against moving pilots or at range (except against static targets), even if it has zero recoil and near-pinpoint hipfire, and the lack of spread and overheat mechanics actually work against it in CQB. It also seems to do pretty low damage given those disadvantages. I was wrecking dudes with it at close/medium range last night.  Felt good as soon as I picked it up.

Do weapons/etc. take more xp to level up with each level? Aka is cycling through lowest level weapons/titans faster to crank through pilot levels? Know what gives xp for that stuff - I assume I have to kill things with that weapon/titan to level them? Can I farm grunts and stuff with the pistols I don't actually wanna use to level em? Game is fun yo. I had some luck with the pilot wall shield, right spot in some of the corridor-ey spots on maps with a longer range weapon and you can mow folks down quick, yeah ttk is low anyway but it means a couple bullets you have to land from a distance. Also neat for the one time I was getting shot from behind while wallrunning and turned around, threw it below me, hit the ground quick behind the shield and wrecked the dude chasing me. Just tinkered around with it a little, seems more situational but in the right spot guarantees you'll be the one getting the kill.

Didn't play the first game, but now I'm curious about the sequel Is it fun? On a scale of "it's alright i guess" to "makes me cum" how good is it?

Maybe just a little underneath makes you cum? The game will make you feel absolutely amazing and frequently think that this was the best thing you've done when you're running around 3 walls and sliding behind a guy to get a kill.

Game is really fuckin cool and fun. I really enjoyed TF1 but kind of glossed over this until I heard the critical reception and now I'm glad I didn't miss out (I call this the DOOM effect) I will agree map design doesn't feel as good as TF1 but the mechanics feel a whole lot tighter and the grappling hook is amazing fun. I love jumping out of windows while being chased, 180 latching onto the wall above it, then clinging to the wall and blasting the person chasing me. The alternator is taking over from the CAR as my preferred run and gun weapon, the additional damage it does makes it feel a lot more effective.

Dear lord trying to get my score up on the gauntlet and I cannot get under 37 seconds. Finding the grenade launcher really helps, but I can't ever seem to keep up my momentum through that first room of cover and dudes. I"LL GET YOU YET LASTIMOSTA. Side note, there's a grenade launcher above the target range. You can get it if you mantle up onto the highest gun rack near the opening towards the targets. Jump out towards the targets and then double jump back up towards the external part of that ring. It's hanging on the edge of the ring.

Killing pilots or titans gives you one pip of XP for weapons. Grunts do not give XP. Yes, higher levels do take more XP. Secondaries need less XP than primaries to level. Titan XP isn't directly based on kills. Instead you get 1 XP every time you earn a Titan or core.

I want to try out the other titans but at this point I'm G2.13 with Ion and I can't stop  It feels so loving good when you twitch your mouse and snap kill a pilot with the laser shot.

Daztek posted:At what level do titans regen? The wording is a little weird because you don't actually 'regenerate' your titans. At level 20 it turns into "G1" and from there it goes from G1.1-20 before you hit G2. You don't actually lose your progress or start again. Lemon-Lime posted:The laser also does a ton of damage to titans, it's probably the best shoulder weapon. Also this. Getting a crit with laser shot does obscene damage. You can bring down a ronin or northstar to under 50% with 2 well aimed hits.

It's just game over for any pilot in range

I keep trying to use Northstar because I love railguns, but I don't think it matches with my play style of "grapple enemy titan and try to drop my titan on it while yanking its battery"

I wish there was a easier way to get parties running. In networks its hard to tell whether the chat is actually updating for everyone and I presume it doesn't throw up a network invite unless everyone is on the main multiplayer screen and not on one of the customization ones.

The network thing has gotta just be for social/party stuff not for actual pings of matchmaking, otherwise it'd be super easy to pick a "network" you never find a game on.

It tries to match you with people in your networks, and then if it can't it just throws you into general matchmaking. It's a way to set preferred player groups without murdering matchmaking overall. That's how the devs explained it in a design blog thing if I remember right.

My personal favorite is tossing out Scorch canisters, lighting them up with his ability, then switching to another loadout with a better primary to keep firing to do some deliciously disgusting damage, or at least make the AI dodge and run like crazy.

I would like to share a dick move I discovered with Northstar. Equip the ability that gives you two tethers per use, throw them on clustered up enemy titans and then boost in and nuclear eject. Call in your new Northstar as soon as you hit the ground.

Yeah, unlike most games with similar mechanics it doesn't reset the charge on your core ability. For those the played the campaign, how do you deal with Viper, I'm finding him seriously aggravating.

I dunno. The bosses didn't overstay their welcome. They strike a nice balance, and prepare people for multiplayer where the titans have about as much hp. Use the Tone kit on Viper, and a laser core if you get one.

This game is pretty bad at explaining some mechanics. How does Rodeo work? What's the cooldown on the Anti-Pilot fog? If a pilot climbing you has that ability that makes it so the titan doesn't tell when they're climbing, is there literally any way to tell a pilot is climbing you?
