I'm so tired of having a single Ronin teleport into me and two other titans and curbstomp all of us. You should not be invuln when performing an execution.

I wish they could change how executions work for Titan Brawl at least. I don't know what they'd do to fix it, but for an otherwise fun mode, it sucks how it devolves into the execution game. If you have a Ronin or two on your team, be prepared to never get any kills as they execute every Titan you've spent five minutes whittling down.

Teabagging seems to have increased about 5000% in the last 2 weeks and I'm not sure why. Like, I've been playing since day 1 and was probably teabagged a total of 10 times since launch, until the last update and I'd say I get teabagged about 1 out of every 10 times I get killed now. Not sure what brought the mouth breathers out but here they are.

I've noticed that as well. In one of the least-warranted instances of teabagging ever, there was a kid on my team with a mic that sounded like he was about 13, and we were losing incredibly badly in Titan Brawl. He managed to get a kill, and started teabagging while shouting "YEEEEAAAAH CHECK OUT MY PRIME RONINNNNNNN"

People take it super personally, I have no idea why. I teabag all the drat time.

Like, what other victory dance do you think is at our disposal?

If it's a close game I am fine with it, but it is exclusively used in completely roll games where the enemy team happened to spawn on the rooftops over our friendly legions and got whittled down until the entire enemy team had a full titan stack and we were short two

not that this happened to me, multiple times

When I bag it has nothing to do with the match, and everything to do with the previous 10 seconds of gameplay.

It's not bothersome but the uptick is baffling.

A good teabag should be earned though and some of these people's qualifiers are pretty questionable.

I think people just want to inject some personality into interactions with other people ingame and crouching up and down is basically the only gesture you can make besides spinning in circles I guess. This game needs a god drat thumbs up button.

the best victory dance is in fact killing that same person again within the following minute,

and then you bag on em

tea bagging people is fun because they get really mad and fixated on getting revenge and you can kill them a lot, and sometimes they send you messages after the game where they scream obscenities at you

also one time a guy was teabagging me and he didn't realize I was calling a titan in, and the titan landed on him. the ultimate teabag.

One time I teabagged a dude who promptly smoked me and my whole team, then persistently messaged me to ask why I teabagged him. I was pretty dismissive at first, but as my responses got more and more sarcastic the text chat turned into an actual discussion of different types of tea and tea straining devices. It was cool.

Dude didn't know what a tea ball was :mmmhmm:

So Monarch is tons of fun. Switched from 2nd Dash to Overcore for maximum pew pews.

Couple of questions:

-Does Energy Siphon get stronger as you charge it, or is it just a hold-to-delay like Ion's laser?

-If you go with Survival of the Fittest, does the battery you get when you pop your core count as being able to pull you out of Doomed?

What's the consensus on Monarch kits? Shield Amp doesn't seem that worth it; I usually waffle between Battery Thief and Rapid Re-arm. Survival of the Fittest seems way too situational.

Also, for tier 2 upgrades, anyone have good luck with Maelstrom or Energy Field? I usually just sick with R&R.

1. No, just delay

2. Almost positive Yes

3. Shield Amp is useless, Battery Thief is the best option followed by Rapid Rearm. Survival of the Fittest is niche, but maybe with good team play?

4. Maelstrom is the definite pick, though R&R is fun. If you're not using smoke often and always as Monarch you are doing something wrong. Maelstrom-smoke damage stacks; if you drop 3 of them at once you will literally melt any titan in spitting distance.

How do you drop 3? 1 smoke, Rearm, 2nd smoke, where's the 3rd?

Not bad. I run into the same people a few matches in a row every once in a while, which can be good or bad I guess, but its easy to get into a match overall and the games are usually competitive. A lot of my friends are getting bored of the game though. I don't know if that's anecdotal or indicative of the playerbase as a whole.

Playlist update: Relic 24/7 is now the featured playlist instead of Titan Brawl. Titan Brawl is not going away, but will instead be a permanent mode, and damage done will be tracked.

Some fun with melee. I can't quite believe I got that lock for the second melee.

The extra smoke was actually a bug that's already been fixed in the live version of the game: https://www.reddit.com/r/titanfall/comments/6g420w/game_update_going_live_today/

Just tried Maelstrom and it's pretty mehh? Maybe when you could regenerate smoke with r and r it was different.

As someone who uses the alternator, this is fun news. Even better news for people who want to use grenadier class weapons.

It's a massive deal if it's true because it means grenadier and pistol weapons aren't complete dead weight.

I hope it's true and not just something for one game mode. :(

Well, it's obvious at this point that removing them as a sidearm was a concession for time, since the game balance of TF2 is quite a bit more complex than TF1.


So adding them back as standard means rebalancing them with respect to every other weapon.
