I wish killing pilots and damaging titans would count at least a little bit towards your next Titan. It kind of bites that Nuclear Ejection is literally the only way to "pre-charge" your next Titan, especially when the other team already has 3+ Titans out and you lose yours, now you're stuck at 0% again and almost everyone else is in a Titan, which is always a pain. I know AT weapon hits add a ton to the meter, but it's hard to not die when there's multiple Titans gunning for you.

Either fully or something like 50%.

Bob NewSCART posted:So I'm just starting this up now for the first time, what are good rookie things to pick and do so I don't suck everything up and lose all the games Nuclear Ejection is a good thing to have, but Extra Dash is also pretty great for swatting down pilots. Unless you're a Ronin people don't really expect you to be able to chase them down in a Titan. The high scoring game screenshot I posted earlier (though that's not even really that high a score I just suck) came about because I managed to get my Titan really early with a few good grenade kills, then just went on a rampage dashing around Crash Site punching pilots in the face.

I honestly think I'd die in my Titan a lot less if I wasn't so desperate to at least start and try to aim Laser Core before ejecting.

I created a Grenadier class the other day with Cold War, Phase Shift, Ordinance Expert, and Frag Grenades. It's super goofy and fun. The Cold War is hot inconsistent Garbage but sometimes it'll let you pull off things like this. http://i.imgur.com/a0BXDzg.gifv http://i.imgur.com/b2ghMbf.gifv http://i.imgur.com/0W4Xgpt.gifv

I'm better in a titan than most and if you kill my robot then I ruin the life of any titan in range. None of that really shows up because this is Last Hit: The Video Game but pulling teams from a loss to a victory by turning their cluster of shiny titans into execution fodder is awesome. Then I jump in my Scorch and... look, man. gently caress you. I'm trying to regen them all ok?

Out of all my minor "I wish X" complaints about the game "I wish score was a more accurate representation of how you did in the match" is my biggest one. Do pilot assists even give you points? Even if they do it should show up on the scoreboard. Scoreboard should have what it has now, but also pilot assists and Titan/Reaper damage, and they should both contribute significantly to your score.If I damage a Titan enough that a pilot teammate can kill it with 1 Archer, it's great that we get 15 points for the team, but kind of crappy that homeboy gets 15 points for 1 hit and I get nothing. We already know tallying Titan damage and displaying it is possible, since it shows up in Last Titan Standing scoreboards.

koren posted:Why should you be rewarded for playing badly? The reward for getting a full core is your core ability. Not using it is a risk/reward thing. Your Titan is going to take damage over time no matter what. Having a final utility to use once it's in a doomed state isn't playing badly. Not being able to get out of the range of the nuclear eject after being warned by the loud siren and flashing light is playing badly.

Coliseum is dumb as hell and completely misses both points of this game: high mobility and crazy parkour poo poo on foot, and giant robots. Instead you get a sniper rifle and a round flat arena entirely devoid of cover. I legit don't understand why it's not a 1v1 in Titans and to the death. Although I bet the CoD crowd loves Coliseum.

Glenn Quebec posted:Wait, THAT is what Coliseum is? Haha Jesus. Yeah it's 1v1 on foot, on a flat circle with no borders (no idea if you can fall off). You spawn on opposite sides, facing each other, with a Kraber and also a Charge Rifle for some bizarre reason

Just make a Titan-only colosseum like that PS2 Kaiju Battle Royal game where you can just completely demolish the map as you fight. Pick up debriss with the Vortex shield to shoot, dash through whole buildings coming out behind a Titan. Make impact craters from explosions and Titan footsteps in dirt and mud.

I just played some Colosseum last night and it was still the EPG and Charge Hack rifle. Did they just change it today? I kinda have fun with it since you can infinitely wall run on the dome walls and practice cooking grenades and slidehopping to dodge around.

Yeah the way the coliseum was handled is baffling. Why isn't it titans? Why is it just a flat circle? It's so dumb. I guess it's there for epic no scope headshot bros to show off or something. And yeah it's epg still I played it yesterday.

Yeah I mixed up, it is EPG not Kraber but either one is pretty retarded for a 1-on-1 fight with zero cover, and no weapon in the arsenal could make the mode any less lovely.

You can wallrun on the outside of the ring, it's actually a dome and you can ride it all the way to the top. The only interesting part of the mode is that you are always at max speed so you can just instantly slide and jump to go flying.

That reminds me of another reason why Reapers suck and are bad: if Titans have weak points where you can actually do appreciable damage with a non-AT weapon, why the hell don't Reapers?

They do actually! Its the same weakpoints they have in the campaign. The lightbulb on their foreheads, as well as the waist joint struts in their middle. I've noticed that Firestars and satchels do pretty good damage to them, as well as grenadier weapons.
