What a horrible thread to have a post.
Sorry to be a whiny baby, but Tone is still an unfun lovely joke of a Titan and needs to be fixed.

Probably not a great idea to put the best defense plus best main gun plus best utility plus top tier core ability on the same Titan. Can't tell you how many times I have legit outplayed these fuckers only to get a Salvo Core to the face.

I somehow fixed the problem, I believe it may have either been disabling the origin overlay or my antivirus. I did do a repair for good measure but i'm not sure if it re-downloaded anything.

Promptly was put into a game with a bunch of other new players against a team of people who have somehow already regenned. One guy on our team did nothing but stand there complaining about his "lovely team" while literally not contributing, another was afk.

Same old titanfall... :unsmith:

Tone's kit is my favorite and I have a lot of fun playing as Tone and I can tell you with 100% certainty that Tone is too good and needs to be nerfed for real

If I had to guess what the nerf was I'd say they made the unscoped 40mm less accurate but ADS is still very precise. One nerf I'd do is make it so you don't get Titan lock ons from splash damage, only direct hits. Maybe also make it not a one hit kill on pilots with a direct hit at long range or something. That one feels like it might be a little weird but without that change she's always going to be the best against pilots plus extremely strong against Titans

I'm starting to feel like they should take the aoe from Tone's gun and give it to Northstar instead.

i got stomped by some goons and i wanna play with them because the giant bomb players are bad, my origin id is carmyncross and i'm d2p whenever

i don't know what it is about this game but i can't be consistently good at it, i either do great or terrible with no middle ground. i was good at cod when i played that and i remember being pretty decent at the first titanfall but i just can't fully get a grasp on this one. it's fun tho

Tone needs to be nerfed, whatever MYSTERY NERF they did was not enough. Having a gun that can pick off pilots across the map, the ability to poo poo missiles all over other titans, and a shield that blocks loving everything including the Scorch flame wall is loving dumb.





also the cloak isn't OP but everyone who uses the cloak in this game should feel bad

The EPG might not technically be the best weapon in the game, but there's nothing like firing it a falling enemy from halfway across the map and getting their name splash across your screen a couple seconds late. :allears:

The Mastiff is one of the most fun weapons I've used in a multiplayer FPS in a long, long time.

Versatile and satisfying to use without being overpowered. Its like an easy to use spinfusor.

Kind of impossible if you want to actually move and not play like it's CoD. Better option is to use the stealth kit.

Are goons playing this on the XBONE or was that user base fragmented like the CoD release where we might only get to play with players that purchased the game a certain way?
Also, does it run okay on the Xbone?

Is there any damage difference between Legion's two modes?

i would assume the close range mode does more damage to make up for its wide spread, otherwise it feels pretty pointless

I am still terrible at this game, but man they made the movement so fluid. It feels great to do poo poo like eject out of your mech, land on an enemy one, pull out the battery, and grapple over to an ally to heal them up.

I don't know why anyone would ever not take grapple.

The biggest difference is power shot, close range mode fires a shotgun blast that knocks back titans and is great for mulching infantry that get near you, long range mode fires what is essentially a plasma rifle round.

Unless you're expecting to get into a fight in punching range long range mode (the one that turns the HUD red) is the better option.


I'm not certain on what each mode does to the gun itself or how it interacts with smart core because I rarely use close range mode for anything beyond power shoting pilots/AI so I don't have any good comparisons.

:minnie: Cat Army :minnie:
Long range mode makes your gun shoot twice as fast, giving you twice the DPS, at the cost of taking an extra second or so to brace/spin up before firing. Better at short-medium-long distances, but worse if you need to disengage and re-engage rapidly.

Also power shot does obscene amounts of damage, especially if you hit a crit spot.

If you're referring to Legion, it doesn't shoot twice as fast. It just takes two bullets per shot, while being amazingly accurate at long range. Can be a good trade off in LTS as you can hunker down and just snipe people across the map, consistently hit their crit spot and stay behind a shield that soaks up a poo poo ton of damage. Also by the time they get over to you to be within range with their weapon, the Legion shield will probably be up and ready to use again, then you just slip back to the other fire mode and use power shot to bounce them away.

Really quite a few of the Titans have this great combo system underneath that was lacking in the first game. Getting crits with the Ion's primary weapon to refill your shoulder laser faster, switching shot ranges with the Legion, the tether to lock down and keep range with the Northstar. It's all an extra layer as opposed to the titan combat in the first game which was just using cluster missile and nuke eject, with maybe the Arc Cannon or 40MM.

Just swap their primaries around. It would reduce Tone's ability to just loving poo poo damage at enemy titans via lockon missiles, which would fix Tone. Particle Wall + Sonar Beacon work better with the plasma railgun than they do with the 40mm, anyway.

While we're at it, give Legion's gun a ramp-up time of 2-3 seconds while in long-ranged mode (starts slow, eventually gets up to the current RoF) so it's easier to notice it at range and take action to evade it. Don't touch CQB mode, it's fine.

Yeah I was using it in that vid. Right after that match I unlocked Grand Cannon though so I swapped to that. I haven't tried it yet but I suspect that it's probably not nearly as good as crits = energy (especially since you can shoot Reapers and get energy back with it) but it'll probably be more hilarious.

I kind of feel like Grand Cannon is slightly better but that may be just because I am loving balls at hitting critspots

Grand Cannon turns laser core from a piddly little thing to an actual core worth using, plus it's a Macross reference. Entangled Energy is good, but IMO not as good since energy recharges so fast anyway.

just give tone the quad rockets from the first game instead of the 40mm, and reduce the damage of salvo core. there, i fixed tone

cluster missile is fantastic against pilots:


and to a lesser extend titans. it's also very useful when you don't have electric smoke up:


that said i'd say pick that or the double tether trap if you like trapping titans in your nuclear eject. the piercing skill doesn't seem great and the faster movement with flight core seems only situationally useful

ok so finally kind of getting into the groove of this game, it's good fun.

Trying to get a nightly group going on PS4. Had a small group of us tonight and a couple nights ago. Would be nice to be a bit more organized, maybe make a PS messages group.
