It's really fun to play as the Krogan soldier and set off flamethrower directly behind someone during the last few seconds of extraction

I believe the way kill credit works for Pull is that if you Pull (or Throw, or just punch someone) off the map, the kill gets credited to the last damage source (ie whoever last shot it or whatever).

precision posted:Extraction round is the easiest round of the match too. I don't get it Cause it works in a counterintuitive manner. The way it looks and sounds, it's a "hold this point until the evac shuttle arrives" mission where you sit in the circle and defend the LZ for two minutes. The way it actually works, though, it is a "be in this area when the timer runs out and you win" mission where it doesn't matter how long you hold it or if any enemies are in the zone with you. You're not actually holding the LZ so the shuttle can arrive safely, you're not keeping the LZ clear of enemies, you're not defending anything. This means that the optimal strategy isn't some war movie scene where you're trying to keep the LZ clear so the evac bird can reach you, it's kiting the enemy around on the other end of the map for 1:45 and then sprinting across the map to tag up the point at the last second. It doesn't work the way most people would expect it to work, so most people do badly at the extraction until they figure it out. This is made worse by the fact that Bronze extraction is generally easy enough to beat via the suboptimal turtle-at-the-LZ method, which means that players learn the wrong technique first.

The real problem with the Landing Zone Round is that the extraction-ring doesn't encompass the entire platform. Like, what retarded dev didn't make it cover the entire landing pad? I've seen new players that are on the edge where the shuttle would arrive and they don't count because they're not touching the stupid ring. Holy gently caress how bad can developers be this time around?

poo poo, the Raptor really is good. Like, legitimately great even. Took it into Gold with both AsAdept and TurSol and it's really beefy. Using it on console is a bit rough because it's only that good if you make most of your shots, but for burst Cloak damage or Turbocharge it really rocks.

It can't be a coincidence that the damage bonus from tactical cloak lasts just long enough to empty the magazine. It's a sign. BrianWilly posted:There's no segregation of skillsets here.

Yeah I never play shooters, I suck real bad. But in this Im really weirdly average. The only time I completely look like a chump is the odd match I show up with good players and they don't kick me.

Raptor is even more awesome, because it has no hipfire penalty. Getting good info re: MP stuff is pretty hard, but this thread is proving quite interesting.

Thought the Thokin could be good with the Turian Soldier but I was wrong. Even on an assault rifle skirmish mission, it still takes two clips to kill anything.

Did people say it was a better idea to buy Expert packs rather than Premium? Because of the drop rate and costs and stuff?

Premiums were the way to go if you wanted to unlock URs, but now people are saying expert packs have a streak-breaker implemented. So you get a guaranteed UR every tenth expert pack if you didn't get one before then. TBH I've no idea if that's true. The internet tends to distort received wisdom into near uselessness, and I don't open enough packs to reliably test it out myself.

I haven't kept close track of it but I would not be surprised if it were true, I don't recall ever having a long streak of expert packs opened with no URs.

If you go expert packs, post whether you ever pull mods. I suspect that expert packs work like advanced packs, and you'll never pull mods until characters/weapons are all X.

RBA Starblade posted:I got a barrel mod 1 from it and plenty of mods from advanced packs well before things maxed out. E: My suspicion was not correct - Expert packs seem to drop mods just fine! Sorry, I should have specified that advanced packs never dropped uncommon mods (for me at least) before uncommon weapons/characters were maxed. Rare drops from advanced packs can be anything. In fact, getting uncommon drops from basic packs is how I managed to get a few uncommon mods before moving on to advanced packs! Basically mods are never seem to be the sole drop in a pack unless it goes along with a rarity upgrade. There are no UR mods, which is why I suspect expert packs won't drop mods until rare characters/weapons are maxed. It's also possible I was just unlucky with drops in the advanced packs.

Digirat posted:Are you buying expert or premium packs? Mostly expert, I think it was just a fluke of the RNG. //edit If I had to guess, the main drop slot can only be weapons or classes, but the secondary slot also includes mods. And once you max all weapons, it swaps a weapon unlock to the secondary table. Relentless fucked around with this message at 19:51 on May 1, 2017 |
