I thought the burst fire mod would be cool but it totally fucks me up. I usually quickly tap ADS before every shot with the 40mm for the extra accuracy while staying mobile (old TF1 habit) and the burst adds a delay which totally fucks it up. Unusable. Reinforced particle wall or critical hit 2x lock-ons.

yeah same thing happened to me. didnt even realize i did it but i tried the new kit and my rhythm was just completely off. this was my first match after the patch so i was scared for a few minutes that they had lowered tones rof as a rebalance

I've been using Northstar because I always set the titan to autopilot and hope it gets kills/die quick enough for me to get my next dice roll boost.

What the gently caress did they do to the MGL and fire star. They are both so ridiculous now.

The MGL was always good though.

Anyways, ran into a hacker tonight who was flying around the map with Legion's gun and Ion's shield as a pilot.. Reported him but I was only able to get shadowplay running for a few seconds before the match ended.

wait what the fuck??

Sidewinder + Wingman Elite + Firestar is a really fun loadout. You use the Elite as your primary and the Sidewinder for close quarters and anti-Titan; it's kind of crazy how good it is at that, I was farming up new titans as fast as I could recklessly break them. Firestar for extra titan annoyance

This is pretty much the loadout I've been using for the past two or so days as I've been leveling pistols. Might swap out the firestar for satchels though because satchels are awesome.

Would really like to see more Phase Shift gameplay clips in this thread, Hackan's clip is the only one I've seen in the last 50 or so pages. I mean, there are a lot of phase shift experts in here right?
This is how I end up using phase shift 99% of the time:

I know there's no way I can kill more than 1 or 2 guys before they kill me so I just phase out, reload, then go back in. Basically it's a "get out of poo poo situation free" card.

That's usually what it winds up being and it's not bad at that or anything. Most of my problems stem from not being able to flip a 180 like that and spend the phase time running the other way, so either they see a curving trail and follow or the trail goes straight towards them and they back up. Check your PC privilege!

Speaking of which, where the hell is my free weekend of PC privilege, EA? I installed Origin for this poo poo. :/

Hit it until it's not a problem anymore
I took this clip of an enemy phase shifting because of the uncertainty of whether there's a trail while shifted.

It looks to me that there's no trail while shifted, there's a small trail when you unshift, and some sparkles stay for a bit in the area you first shift.

When you Shift, there's a scattering of sparkles in the direction you were headed. A good way to keep a bead on a Ronin is to back off and guess at where he'll likely pop out again.

Ronin is way more predictable though because he pretty much only goes in a straight line.

You can sort of see it start at 18 seconds but your gun covered it up. I don't have any video (nor do I even know how to pull/edit video from xbone) but I've seen through multiple killcams my sparkles trailing after a phase and once you see that it's trivial to make sure they're in your view when popping out. It's still useful in long-range camping battles where you can fall off the roof or when you're half a second away from cover, but as you saw when someone has momentum you can just back up and nail them.

has an invalid opinion.
More Tone bitching. Particle Wall is really dumb. It makes every long range poke fight boring because everyone has to have one or you lose. Whenever I'm on Tone (I'm bad I need the help) and me and the enemy Tone drop our particle walls together, I just leave the match.

It would be really funny to gently caress around behind your particle wall when your opponent is behind his too. Do something like hop out of your Titan and throw arc grenades or thunderbolts, hope we get a rest animation like Overwatch and use that while you wait for Pwall stalemate to end. I feel like it's only possible there's a marginal advantage sometimes to shooting the particle wall as opposed to waiting it out.

OK I'm exaggerating here but it might be the worst part of the game right now. If you're in a tight space, like on Crash Site or Complex, the fight just stops until the walls expire. It's so boring.
