Lemming posted:You can usually survive a nuke if you have one dash and book it immediately on seeing the eject. I can usually make it out in a Tone with a single dash after failing to execute as long as I don't get stuck on something. Nuke eject doesn't actually have a big range. If you just turn and run when it starts off then you can almost always escape or at least get far enough away that it only does 1 pip of damage. The only time I ever get killed by it is if I was chewing it up as Legion at close range and had my gun shield on, because then I can't spin down and I'm too chunky to run.

Something clicked with me last night and I started being a consistent contributor last night. I'm running the hemlok (which owns) with map hack and cloak. Map hack is too strong, and the hemlok feels just right to me. I'm also using scorch, the best and strongest robot warrior. One thing I can't tell yet: can flame shield kill a rodeo?

My click moment was when I picked up the G2 and slapped a threat scope on it and started running Phase Shift. It lets me do absurd things on Bounty Hunt, and can even outsnipe the Double Take due to much less bullet travel. I also started running the random boost, which is hilariously overpowered sometimes and completely obnoxious others. It let me get a pilot turret online within the first minute of a bounty hunt match, which I promptly dropped in one of the spawn zones. I ended up banking over $1000 at the first bank opening. Other times it gives you phase rewind, which I have never been able to figure out the best time to use.

Other than electric smoke, I think only Scorch and North star can hit rodeoing pilots. They both can do the old back scratch maneuver with thermite/cluster missile.

Anyone have tips on taking out Legion as Ronin one-on-one? He seems to be as close to a hard counter to Ronin as it gets. I've been trying to use the phase dash to get behind him for some cheeky swording, but he backs up to quickly and I've already burned my dashes trying to close the distance while he magdumps on me.

It still is very tricky to pull off since the charged shot fires off really quickly if the barrels are spinning, but it can't be held like Ion shoulder-laser. That said I find Legion to be a good hard-counter to pretty much every other titan in the game, so you will be at a disadvantage anyway unless the other player is bad.

Magnus Condomus posted:I think we gravitated to the BOYS network? Boy team super extreme I think? We should probably get the list of networks across platform added to the OP. One unexplained aspect of phase rewind is that you can hop out of it at any point by hitting the boost activation button again (Yes, I found this out by mashing the button and popping out and then back in exactly where I was), but I admit its still a little too... short? Even when I've been parkouring my hardest, its loop back time seems a little too short to be useful.

That was my joke answer  But seriously, if you can't get the drop on him (more or less literally in this case) or are playing homestead (don't play ronin on homestead, no seriously you have a problem), RUN AWAY and let some other bastard deal with the Legion.

I've had some success with ticks by throwing them at my feet when I run or slide into a building, knowing there is a good chance someone is chasing me. That, and they seem to do pretty decent damage to Titans.

Fuligin posted:is there a reason to use anything but map hack once you unlock it? Most of the boosts seem really weak (ticks lol) Ticks are situationally strong when placed in tight, enclosed spaces. They can still waste time but their explosion range is deceptively large. Pilot turrets absolutely wreck if placed well. Radar jammer has a tendency to make enemies far less cautious about shooting/movement and as a result they tend to run face first into danger more often. Battery backup is a very easy way to get your titan quicker, since you can shove that battery into an ally and get boosted right near/over the titan mark. Smart pistol is like the amped smart pistol from the first game with a little more steroids. It goes away if you die, but combined with cloak is very solid. Dice roll lets you get boosts for cheaper then their normal meter cost Map hack is probably gonna get hit by the nerf bat due to its chainability (6 people all running map hack).

The first thing I unlocked was Dice Roll and it's a really fun way to play because every boost allows you to vary your game plan

Smart pistol seems worse, because it now alerts pilots when they're being locked on. I think cloak breaks the lock and phase shift definitely does, only seen one person run it.

The end-game mission where you get to fight along side the other Pilots in the enemy ship, wall running and breaching the windows was really cool. I wish they included more of that in the campaign.

I think the only level I didn't like was the 100% titan one towards the end, mostly because the way I played the campaign was to rarely ever shoot anybody and try to just past all the enemies using the geometry.

Orv posted:The other options being? The maps don't allow you to hunt and peck a Legion to death, you're going to have to fight and kill it or just run forever. I disagree, you can basically corner peak him down on any map. Don't bother engaging while his shield is up, just wait it out. The one thing I would change is making it more obvious when smart core is active. Also possibly a little more spread on long range mode. Legion's whole design is "This guy wins toe-to-toe fights"

Is there any sort of PC anticheat? I just went through a match where a dude spent most of the time stomping back and forth in his tone swiveling from pilot to pilot perfectly even when maphack wasn't up. Also perfectly snapping onto a stealth-ejecting pilot from a titan he wasn't even fighting.

I want to like this game. I really do. The concept is fun, and the movement controls feels so smooth. It's great! I can't get over how annoying the multiplayer is. I can only seem to connect to 'Amped hardpoint' mode games. When i do connect I try to play sensibly cap/defend points and push with teammates. But 9 out of 10 times It ends up feeling like a titan slugfest team deathmatch game. I would swear I've encountered a good handful of aimbots (thanks, kill-cam!) and I end up getting stomped along with my team by MLG 420 360 noscope headshoots. I'm not the best FPS gamer around, and I'm well past my prime, but it seems like in this game, good shooting will beat good strategy almost all the time. Finally, I'm only level 8, and think that using the tactical personal shield would be greatly beneficial, but I can't unlock it for like 42 more levels, so gently caress that. I'm just having a really hard time bringing myself to play it anymore, It just doesn't seem fun - and I've only had it for like 4 days.

LordAdakos posted:I want to like this game. I really do. You should be able to connect to Bounty hunt/Attrition which is way more fun than hardpoint imo. Hardpoint is just frustrating to play without a full team. If I am playing solo I like attrition the best because it looks awesome running around in that mayhem and even if you suck you are still contributing by killing grunts. You can win the match for your team by focusing on killing AI even. Lastly hop on one of the discords and play with a group, it is way more fun than playing solo. -- In other news, apparently you can throw a gravity star on a nuclear ejecting titan to suck the pilot back in and have him blow up with the titan. It is my life's goal to capture a clip of this now, I will try today.

Also I'm by no means great at fps, but regularly get near the top of the scoreboards by playing smart, and making a lot of points once titans drop, especially by stealing/depositing batteries. Use the stim pilot to get out of dodge whenever someone starts shooting at you
