IronDoge posted:Its affecting the 1000 series cards, 900 series seem to be unaffected. Off topic, what is it with Nvidia lately? They keep putting out botched drivers. Seems to happen every few years. I dunno about performance on the 900 series though, Battlefield 1 and Dishonored 2 seem to be running a bit worse. Playable, but not anywhere near as smooth as before (BF1 in particular). Can't roll back though, BF1 won't even let you run it without the latest drivers. Like...what? :eyeroll: In Titanfall news, I think I've hit my limit with the guns I can be good with. I was cycling through them, getting each up to the duo-mod level (11?). The r-97 is the most useless SMG ever, I seem to miss most shots with the G2, I've never been good with snipers and I can't get the hang of the Mastiff. So it looks like its just grinding the guns I'm good with.  How does the regen exp multiplyer work this time around with the merit system? Does the multiplyer apply to merits earned post-match? Also, is it the same as before? 1.1, 1.2 and so on to 2x? I'm getting close to regen, but I really want to unlock the flatline with credits, I liked it in single player, and I think I'll like it in multiplayer. EDIT: I also really miss the mods from Titanfall 1 that seemed to totally change a weapon. The only thing this time around seems to be the charge rifle.

So it looks like its just grinding the guns I'm good with. I don't mind the R-97, but it's definitely not a well rounded weapon. The fire rate and mag size make it usable at close range. At mid range you gotta get lucky. At long range you get smoked. I'm gen 4 now I believe. Haven't noticed any xp multiplier. Just seems to be looping back through unlocks by earning merits, same as before for each time I've done it. You get new camo unlocks and banners as well. At this point I'm floating over 900 credits, and have unlocked most of the poo poo I care about (maybe... 10 things?). Regen doesn't seem like any kind of real hindrance to using the equipment you like unless maybe you're wanting to use several really diverse loadouts. I think the most expensive thing is 300, and that's executions. Anti-Titan weapons are super cheap at 50. Guns are 100. Boosts are 125? Low profile is 225 I think. Titans aren't expensive either as I recall, but don't exactly remember. Just don't squander your credits on poo poo you don't actually like and want to use and you'll be able to hit the ground running after a regen. Also, nothing wrong with some of the default gear either. CAR is good, R-201 is pretty good. Anti-titan stuff is good. Don't feel like you absolutely must unlock poo poo to compete. And yes, 1.1 through 1.50, 2.1 through 2.50, etc.

They also said that TF2 wasn't going to have DLC at all to help build a player base on more systems in preparation for Titanfall 3. I think it's a loss leader that will get people like me, who didn't play the original Titanfall due to the console it was on but did play a lot of COD:BLOPS3, to get the cheaper game with giant robots over the expensive game without.

It does have DLC, in fact its going to have quite a bit, the catch is, its all free, so as not to fragment the player base.

Someone on a podcast floated the idea of them doing a sort of soft relaunch with some sort of goty edition in the spring or something with like some cosmetic boosts or exp codes or something after they start pushing out the dlc. Two weeks after release and only having a few thousand people online makes me hope that something happens to inject life back into the game. I'm already queueing attrition if I want to get a game quicker.

Can someone explain exp/merits? What is being measured at the end of a match? I really wish that I could get more information on what qualifies as a Good Performance, or why two of three blocks behind a gun are filled in. Is it kills per weapon? I only played enough to get to level 3 last night, so maybe with more experimentation it'll be clearer, but why wait when I can ask?

LawfulWaffle posted:An important distinction, thanks for the correction. The Good Performance one is different per mode, push start at any time and it will list all the merit-giving objectives! Handy to check if you're jumping between modes. The XP system is basically a stripped back version of ones in similar FPS games, but here 1 merit = 1 XP. You get one merit for playing a game, one for winning or successfully escaping, and one extra for the bonus performance. Then you get one merit every time you level up a weapon or Titan, which they'll show you on the after match summary screen (it's all those pips filling up and making dramatic explosion sounds)

TF2 doesn't beat you to death with KD/R, so merits are just there to help you level up in "alternative" fashion.

Hugh G. Rectum posted:IDK what to tell you, doing the same thing I'm hovering between 40-50% CPU usage on all cores. Is your RAM really slow? Something running in the background? 8 gigs DDR3-1333 (RIP other pair of 8), no other "applications" running and tried to overzealously kill a bunch of stuff off in task manager, turned every option in audio and video to off/lowest. Payin some more attention it doesn't sit at 100% the entire time, don't know what has to be happening to trigger it but seems looking out across with a good view of a map does it - thanks for the graph, mine prolly looks like that just shifted up so 45% is average and 100% is peak. On a good note, found out I can probably go up to 4.6 maybe 4.7ghz on my CPU to make me feel better about holdin off for the new chips. Now I gotta make myself take off the troubleshooting hat and just play the drat game!

I'm still just level 16 so most of the guns everyone raves about are still locked for me.

I love shooting Thunderbolts at titans and running up and rodeoing them. That's what I look forward to most in any match - the enemy getting their titans so I can go gently caress with them

Level 11 means you've unlocked all the mods and scopes for a gun, everything past that is skins and banners until regen (20?), but as I understand it gun and titan regen doesn't re-lock anything, it just resets the counter. Anti titan weapons, its level 6 or 7? Never looked at pilot sidearms, not sure what the point is. Actually, can anyone enlighten me as to why I would use a sidearm in place of a anti-titan weapon? Are the grenade launchers in the primary category any good against Titans? I've seen people occasionally using the Mozambique, but I never see any other sidearms.

Yeah, Grenadier weapons are decent against Titans, although some people might just want to forego robot-hunting in favour of a backup gun to use on people. Especially filthy, rotten snipers.

Only pilot regen has any effect, and that is only to lock things out again. When you unlock something again (titans, guns), it's still at its previous level, with all attachments, etc available that you'd earned. Guns and titans just loop to a new gen, with all unlocks remaining unlocked. New camo options unlock at higher gens. Snuffman posted:Never looked at pilot sidearms, not sure what the point is.

I've seen people occasionally using the Mozambique, but I never see any other sidearms. If you're using a grenadier primary, an anti-titan secondary is kind of optional. When I use the SMR for instance, I use the full auto pistol (the first one), since the SMR works pretty well against Titans. It has occasionally been useful to have.

Sidearms are the only weapons with silencers, so you can use them to hunt AI while staying off the minimap.

Notice how both the EPG and Cold War are at level 1, and only have 3 pips under them, meaning I only need to get 3 kills or assists to level them up and get a merit. On the other hand, the SMR and Softball both have 10 pips with 2 filled in, 10 being the default amount for most primary weapons once you get to level 4 or 5 (the exception being sniper rifles, which use the secondary weapon curve and thus only require 5 kills to level once you get them up).

Grenade launder is fun for softening up groups of AI bots at least? Insert name here posted:You want to get every weapon to at least level 4 or 5 because every level before that it takes less kills to level. You can see actually see by going to the menu where you select which weapon you want on a class and there should be some pips under each gun that show you how much more kills/assists you need to level up a gun. So for example take a gander at this screenshot: Thanks, that's exactly the info I was looking for. I've been running the 201 and Grenade Launcher exclusively and it's clearly slowing down my leveling because it takes a lot more kills to level those.
