Does an amped weapon get further amped through A-Wall?

This is super important.

Remember that Map Hack is almost certainly getting adjusted, and Northstar's flight core is also going to be tuned for more mobility, better damage, and less time (so it's not blimping over the battlefield getting blasted by everybody)

Is there going to be any buff for Ronin? He can handle a 1v1 battle if he gets a good flank, but that's about it.

I spent some rounds trying to gimmick make A-wall + amped weapons work with the archer and/or beam laser but couldn't tell if or how much it was actually boosting. Been hoppin around weapons and strats and stuff so much I mighta just not been familiar enough with the normal weapon damage, I dunno.

Best way to play Ronin is to pretend you're a giant Genji and yell RYUUJO<gibberish> every time you ult activate core

I think you can leave and not get penalized anytime after the game "ends" and the epilogue is a bonus, whether you win or lose. Not 100% on that, but like, 80%.

There is no warning about the match counting as a loss when leaving during the Epilogue so I assume it's all good to leave whether you lost or not.

Gave him another go tonight and had a lot more luck. But still, I think he is harder to play effectively than the other titans, though the legion and tone nerfs might make him better. IMO, the sword core kind of blows because by the time you get it, you've probably lost a chunk of health. And you can't execute Titans in it. So now, you have to close way in to use your sword core, which basically renders you extra vulnerable to getting executed. IMO Ronin should be invulnerable to executions while in sword core, and be able to use executions.

Well I just got called a "COD player" because I repeatedly killed a guy by: sitting on a roof with the G2 (bad AR, decent sniper rifle) and shooting him, throwing down a A-wall when he tried the tactic of "run straight at the other person" and then shooting him, and repeatedly punching him with my Scorch. This was also a game that got me a nice little "PRO" badge.

Has anybody seen a write up about the various Titan augments? Like, the boosted shield for Legion has a obvious effect, but some of the others are kinda unclear. (like the default one for Scorch's thermite launcher, does it just increase the damage or does it affect how much is spread around?)

I could be wrong but I believe scorches thermite perk makes it do more damage over time.

Ronin:
Double arc wave: Gives you two charges on your arc wave, they also seem to recharge slightly faster.

Bouncing lead wall: Makes your shotgun pellets bounce around, not super useful, but ok for killing pilots inside buildings.

Phase dash: Makes phase dash come off cooldown faster. Pretty darn good.

Highlander: Makes your sword core completely reset upon killing an enemy with sword core. Pretty dope!

Patch is live

quote:

My friends thank you all for playing the crap outta our game and providing lots of great feedback. We've got a new update that's currently live. Here are the details:
Map Hack: Rebalanced Map Hack so that player locations will now pulse instead of always on. We'll continue to look into this boost and will modify it further if it continues to cause frustration.
Titan Balancing: * Rebalanced Legion. * Rebalanced Tone.
Due to player feedback we’ve tweaked the balancing on both of these Titans. We’ll continue to watch player feedback and address as needed.
Pilot Changes: Anti-Titan and Grenadier weapons once again restore ammo when embarking into your Titan. Rebalanced Amped LMGs.
Last Titan Standing: Fixed an issue with bad start spawns on Exoplanet. Fixed an issue that was causing round 1 to start while people were still connecting.
Menus: Fixed an issue with camos that would result in players not being able to clear the "NEW" message.
Last but not least…You can now play Private Match Solo!
Shoutout to the amazing folks on the dev team for hustling on this. They are wizards.
Enjoy and keep the feedback coming.

Don't forget Sword Core is basically the old Dash Core as well, and fully refreshes all of your dashes when activated.

Be sure to dash as you melee, I learned the hard way a meleeing enemy Titan can knock you out of range of the sword slash.

They need to let you execute and pause the sword core timer while executing, you take too much damage finishing off Titans with it right now :/

There was one clientside patch for PC (for performance issues + a new graphical feature for PC users), but otherwise they have indeed all been server-side since they've been pushing to add more stuff there:

Lead Network Engineer on reddit posted:

We basically have 4 different things we can update:
Client - has to go through certification - consoles will need a week minimum turnaround. PC is faster.

Game Servers (Dedis) - we can change this whenever we want to. Takes a few hours. You won't ever notice this unless we are changing the game behavior. Players change servers on every level load basically, so we can rapidly cycle things through.

Playlists - we can change this whenever we want to. Starts hitting quickly, takes about an hour to fully hit everyone. Clients download this data from our game servers.

Stryder - our backend system. We can push changes immediately with no delay at all. This can tweak Networks, matchmaking, match results, etc. All of the truly "global" stuff in the game is here.

Client patches are the only one you'll actually SEE updating. The rest we can (thankfully) update without huge delays, and we can do small changes to make sure it's smooth rather than big batches of changes that make me lose sleep.

Engineer cont. posted:

We're rolled a few new server builds. Numerous playlist updates. And we change Stryder multiple times per day. The faster we can make changes the lower risk we can operate. So we want to move things to update faster, so if we ever screw up the game is quickly fixed.
Basically we're in a continuous process of pulling stuff out of the game client and moving it to the game server, then moving things from the game server to playlists or Stryder. Fast, iterative updates are the only sane way to manage a live game.

Looking at it now, it really is disgusting. The flesh is transparent. From the start, I had no idea if it would even make a clapping sound. So I diligently reproduced everything about human hands, the bones, joints, and muscles, and then made them slap each other pretty hard.
This is some Dark Souls-level patch information. "Rebalanced Tone."

Help I can't stop using the Devotion it's too good and I get a triple kill at the beginning of every other match. Hopefully they don't nerf it but since everyone just uses R-201/CAR I think I'm safe

Jayfresh_Respawn on reddit posted:

The reason why we are not giving you folks specific details on the balancing is because we want you to just play and feel it out and let us know if it works.

Telling you numbers and details could color your expectations before you play and then you're going into the game with a set perception. I've heard of all kinds of ideas of how to balance Legion and Tone for example and if we tweaked something that wasn't what you wanted, you're going in already thinking we did the wrong thing. We want you to go in with open mind and feel it out. You guys know were all about feel.

Let's try this out for now and see how it works.

Thanks all for the support!

That's an interesting approach. I've often wondered if devs will sneakily just say they've changed stuff to see how much of a problem is in the community's head.

(For what it's worth, the changes I'd make to Tone mostly involve losing lock-on at distance and nerfing rocket damage, interesting to see what tack they actually took)

Edit: Restoring anti-titan ammo on entering your Titan is a great change (it was like that in Tf1, no?)

So is there any consensus on what the "best" loadout for Ronin is? I mean Turbo Engine's a no brainer, More Mobility = Better Than, but I can't seem to decide between Ricochet Rounds for more AI/Pilot lethality or Temporal Anomaly for even MORE stupid Ronin tricks.

Also, having Edgelord Future Ken Watanabe as the AI automatically makes it the best.

man what



I wish I could stop playing Scorch but it's really enjoyable to set enemy Ronins and Tones on fire. Especially when they're all huddled up and can't move past each other to get out of the way.
Also I have almost no idea what I'm doing with class builds besides using whatever's new so I level up faster until the weapons are all evenly leveled. Except for sniper rifles because I'm pretty sure there's no way that will end well for me.

Are micromissiles meant to have a significant downside? They seem to just act like a pretty awesome assault rifle that also hurts titans.

I think her rockets do a little less damage, but I didn't spend a ton of time messing around with her. Weaker shields, weaker rockets would be my guess. But could be entirely psychosomatic. This is how Respawn gets us.
