Me neither but, there's 70 people playing bounty hunt right now. doesnt bode well for this game in a month or two.
Isn't that the players in just your selected server region? As far as I understand it, the matchmaker will look for players in other servers to make a game so that even if on your server there's 70, it will pick from another 1000 in a few other servers that have similar ping.

It's going to suck when they nerf Tone into the ground because I don't have the accuracy to perfectly laser pilots, the anime heritage to use a sword in a suicide run, or the stubborn mindset to try to prove that Scorch is good. Will probably just pick Legion unless they also turn his bullets into marshmallows.

If they nerf Tone I'll definetly go back to using Ronin and enjoying his inexplicable ability to murder every pilot and grunt in the area while avoiding most enemy Titans like the plague.

Although I'm seeing an uptick of people playing Ronin against Titans like a boss so maybe most of us just suck with him.

Yeah. I'm fine with a balance patch for Tone. OP or not it's just a fun Titan. I always prepare for the worst with nerfs though as deveopers don't seem to be able to do it without ruining the nerfed item for some reason though.

I'm trying to think of what they could do with Tone to make her less op. Maybe lower the rate of fire a little bit? Make it take an extra hit for tracking missile lock on maybe? I think the latter might be the best solution since it would force a reload between missile barrages and you couldn't spam it wholesale as much.

and what kind of world would it be? HUH?!
Lower the auto aim on the 40mm, make it so you can't get lock ons with splash damage and maybe lower the 40mm projectile speed a little? I mean Northstars railgun projectiles travel slower than the 40mm :|

Has there been any documented video of the 40mm having actual auto aim? As far as I know the tracker part refers to the shells creating locks, not having any sort of auto aim assistance, and none of the more "sweet jesus how are you already this good at the game?" players I've been on discord with have been complaining about 40mm auto aiming, just about the 40mm hitbox/Tone's sonar/her rockets/etc.

It has autoaim on console like any other gun, it doesn't have autoaim on PC.

After many many rounds with Tone (PS4) I don't feel like there is any problem with the Autoaim and it would actually be really stupid to take that away.

Like, almost every titan one shots a pilot anyways and hitting a Titan is like hitting the broadside of a barn. Making it so it was a bitch to hit pilots on console would be bad.

Most of what I've seen tonight is Ronin/Legion. It's a winning strategy because Legion pops solo NPC-farming titans around the map and Ronin is really good when everyone is lagged out. Being locked to xbone play in your country is cool and fun.

Gadzooks! I'm terrified of this little child who is going to stab me with a knife. I must wrest the knife away from his control and therefore gain the upperhand.
I really think legion is balanced after playing against lots of legions. Their mobility is hosed if they are firing their gun, and most other classes can just boost away and flank.

Tone though, hoo boy am I getting sick of seeing tone.

I have a some promotional codes that are good for both a coliseum mode ticket and Buffalo Wild Wings nose art combined. If anyone is interested in a code, I'm looking to sell them for $2 a pop. Save yourself the shame of having to shovel down BWW in front of your friends/family/strangers and then having to ask the poor wait staff for your vidja game shame code and let me help you out! Shoot me a PM if interested.

I'll start the bidding at $3.50/ea or $10 for all 3. These aren't the stolen codes that'll get me banned right, can you scan the receipt too?

This is why i gave him the turbo dash. No one expects him to come screaming around a corner, already firing his minigun.

They should make Northstar's railgun like Widowmaker's rifle in Overwatch: Machinegun when you're not using ADS and Railgun when you are. I want to get back into using Northstar but she absolutely sucks when it comes to taking out Mooks unless you waste the Cluster missile and that's where a lot of my points come from.

It occurs to me, if electric smoke can stop static thermite damage (that is, if a titan has been hit by a firestar or presumably Scorch's thermite launcher, electric smoke will cleanse your titan of it), it should totally be able to interfere with locks from Tone's tracking rockets (or lock-ons in general, really.)

I have regened scortch. He's my fav but weak, people have finally realised hes useless at range, so now I've switching to ion.

His reload is painful and hardly worth the tradeoff for his aoe. Direct hits dont do anywhere near enough damage.

However fewer things are more fun than flanking a couple Titans in a chokepoint and cleansing them in righteous fire.

I find he's also really bad at killing Reapers relative to the other titans I've used a fair amount. That said, he's my highest titan by a pretty good margin.

E Smoke already stops Archer locks, don't know if it affects Tone locks but I agree that it should.

Maybe I just really want this game to succeed and am being optimistic but I think with x-mas, it being $35, word of mouth, and people getting sick of IW/BF1 it'll pick up a lot of momentum in the next few months

But yeah PC is anyone's guess tbh. I'm talking more console

It will mask any current locks but you won't lose them (like the icon on your screen will disappear), I'm pretty sure. You won't lose the lock and you can still get more with direct hits, but I think you need to use the sonar pulse to get it to appear on your screen again.

Shittin up the thread with more gifs! gently caress climbing animations, sometimes vortex is cool, and apparently you can grapple off the planes. Whoever asked about makin gifs earlier I'm on PC and just do the Win10 built in 'record that' thing then throw it on gfycat and copy out the .webm address. Someone else does imgur stuff that I think looks/loads better, dunno the chain on that.

idk why tone gets 5 bars of health and ronin gets 3. Tone works from a million miles away and has a deployable shield. Ronin has a poo poo sword block. Every 1v1 with ronin is mutually assured destruction cause even if you get the execution off you're gonna get murked immediately after.
