Whata the point of changing factions in MP? Does leveling them up grant anything?

Not really. I think leveling them gets you merits but they are mostly just a cosmetic and voiceover change.

It's mostly there just to change announcers and the guys on the plane at the beginning.

Are they faction-specific, or do all faction advocate gifts hit the same pool?

Last night i levelled up the stupid apex predators and got a (bad) banner i already had gold and fire versions of so seems to be universal

changing them is purely cosmetic because they grant advocate gifts at the same levels and when you regenerate you get advocate gifts at the same levels again and the first few levels after a regeneration are also quicker just like when you start at g1.0

Oh, thanks! Is it productive to attack from there or just try to stay cloaked and act as a human butt plug?

Riding a friendly titan is useful mostly for providing supporting anti-titan fire from a relatively safe location. Most weaponry will hit the titan and not injure you fatally, plus you get the benefit of being behind their shields for the most part.

It's not a better location for pilot v pilot although it is probably a safer (but more difficult to shoot from) location to provide infantry support to a friendly titan.

Since you're the guy who wants to auto-titan all day, riding your own titan is not a good loving idea.

I assume also it acts as a safety from enemy pilots trying to mount and steal a battery.

Actually, I have no idea if this works. Can you mount an enemy titan with a pilot already on board? Is there some cool on titan melee execution that we haven't seen?!

I don't think you can ride your own Titan even if you want to

Edit: and yeah I don't think you can mount an enemy Titan that has a pilot already riding then

So now Ronins will run around everywhere and be the new meta right?

New meta is probably Legion until it gets nerfed. Hell the current xbone game is already much heavier on Legion and Ronin than Tone, at least in my region.

So what, none of the drink 'n' game goons play this? Cause I can't believe nobody likes the drunk dude faction.

I like Vinson Dynamics because when she says "we are winning by a large margin" I always think "TELL EM LARGE MARGE SENT YA"

E: somebody probably DID mention the drunk dude faction by name, but if so I didn't recognize it cause to me it's just "drunk dude faction."

I was seeing a lot of Tone on xbone but it wasn't nearly as oppressive as it seemed to be in the PC version. It still would poo poo down your throat though. I think Legion will be the new hotness on console.

When does the patch hit consoles?

I normally Titan-Ride when I'm super far away from a given objective and I get a good feeling my team is headed there. Ronins/Ions are fast in some of the emptier maps and give a guy like me that's terrible at wall running a huge boost on the way over. That said, when the enemy gets nearby I jump off immediately as I know I'm easy pickings (and have yet to survive for more than 3 seconds on top of a titan with enemies nearby).

So whatever tone nerfs they added the buffs heavily outweight it, don't expect to see tone go away even a tiny bit, she is stronger than ever.

Good job respawn!

Winning is fun. We don't lose much on the xbone, I'd day most of those losses are from backing out to pick people up or crashes

I am sure that you don't mean it this way, but "I have to win literally 100 percent of the time or it isn't fun" comes across as very unhealthy.

It was a bad joke. Close matches are usually pretty fun. Admittedly we do run a train on pubs most of the time. I don't really care about the win, most of the time we are backing out to pick people that drop.

Oh yeah that's nice too but if you have nuke eject you can start it as soon as you enter phase doom and you come out about to pop.

Also scorched earth is bugged it only leaves thermite on the ground for a split second.
