New setting to adjust aiming/ADS sensitivity separate from hipfire sensitivity.

Doesn't affect me at all but I think its a good thing!

These patch notes own except its still missing some grapple buffs.

Yeah I'm excited for this because the ADS sensitivity feels glacial.

I seriously cannot believe what a good patch, on paper, this is.

Proof is in the pudding...can't wait to try this out tonight.

Asked a ways back, but can someone show me some good Ronin play or offer tips?

I got my first Sword Core execution last night, but I desperately want to get better with Ronin since it's so much fun to play.

Also, Ion with a double dash is nearly as mobile and a lot of fun, once you figure out that you should ABL (Always Be Laserin') and avoid your spread shot unless you absolutely need to kill a pilot at range. Really, spread shot is pretty useless against anything other than AI; it just drains your energy to use mines, laser and vortex. Just use normal fire when laser is charging.

It's good against pilots in a pinch, if your laser isn't up for some reason and they're not quite close enough to punch. But otherwise, it's not very good.

Wow, the first patch notes that actually addressed some serious concerns of players. I am actually more excited about the game with some of the suggested changes (assuming they turn out ok).

Good on Respawn.

Hardly anyone is using the Flatline on PS4, at least in the casual bracket I'm playing in.

loving EVERYBODY is using Cloak and Tone, though.

Well...not anymore. heh heh heh eheheheheeheh

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.
Hopefully next patch will buff the terrible boosts - Holopilot Nova should have multiple charges like Ticks, Radar Jammer should do something else (disable battery theft indicators, last longer, disrupt friendly spectres?), and maybe switch A-Wall and Particle Wall (or make Particle Wall indestructible).

Should replace holopilot with a friendly grunt disguise kit for hilarity of causing the enemy team to spycheck their own grunts.

I sure hope the Cloak change isn't a perma-disable because if it is, Cloak gets to join Holo on the list of tacticals to never pick.

I assume executions and melee won't break cloak, so users will have to be a bit more clever with it rather than just turn it on and go. It's a good change.

Would have liked some more details on the Tone (hopefully) nerfs, though.

Sounds like you have to charge tones shot like Northstar and it's either a more powerful shot or 3 shots if you pick the perk?

I was kind of wondering how this worked too, if I just got the digital deluxe edition before the game came out I assume I get access to the map early?

The one thing I would have liked to see included in those patch notes is a decrease in the reaper flood in late game attrition. Guess they can't fix everything with the first patch.

It looks like it runs based on whether or not you installed the Nitro Scorch Pre-Order pack, which was a universal pre-order bonus everywhere.

I'm annoyed I don't get any pre-order bonuses cause I bought the game from GreenManGaming and they promised pre-order bonuses, were super late in giving out keys and then removed the part of the store page promising pre-order bonuses so I didn't get poo poo. :mad:

Oh, it's Titanfall? drat, knew I got the wrong game.

I could play Pilot vs Pilot (I've seen it on the menus, yes) but I enjoy pilot vs titan combat way more than pilot vs pilot.

Do you have any strategies I can use? If not, does anyone else?
I've had quite a bit of success in Attrition using enhanced auto-titan Scorch and actually supporting my titan when he's engaged. By that I mean don't just let your auto-titan do his thing while you do your thing but rather when he's fighting an enemy titan you want to be there as well plinking away with your anti-titan weapon or going for the rodeo. I've actually won plenty of fights with my auto-titan because I kept rodeoing the titan mine was fighting. Doesn't end too well when you encounter more than one titan at a time though, since auto-titans are pretty bad about backing away.

If you're on PS4 I'll be planning on getting on tonight, grabbing my Happy Hour poo poo from Titanfall Dads if I make it in time, then joining the goon network and inviting everyone to play on Angel City 24/7. So if you have a PS4 and don't have a pre-order no worries, I'll be there to get you all in from around 9:15pm PST to around 11:00pm PST. I promise to invite everyone, every time.

Voice chat not necessary, no worries, just hop on and enjoy yourself.

Buried in the thread on Reddit are two changes that didn't make the patch notes:


As part of the Tone adjustments, Ronin's Phase Dash and Phase Reflex now removes Tone's Lock-On markers.

Additionally, Overcore was buffed because we fixed up some bugs in AI modes that were giving too much Core Meter from killing AI. We're also happy with how the change mixes up LTS kit choices.

Ah, I'll try that. I usually go for the flank, but that assumes my titan doesn't get melted before I can cover the distance.
Also, Is there a benefit to rodeoing friendly titans? Is it just for shoving batteries in and getting a place to jump off of?
Also Also, Is there a way to battery my titan without embarking?

if a pilot is rodeoing a titan, nobody else can also rodeo that titan. this is extremely confusing the first few times you try and rodeo a titan that has an enemy riding it

I think that's how EA does it now.

I did a play test session with them, got a few free PC games and they were all DVD cases with Origin codes in them.
