Oh gently caress yes, I've always wanted to try Frontier Defense. Does it actually have objectives to do or is it merely surviving waves of mooks?

Assuming that it's anything like TF1 you'll have a harvester or something to protect. It gets pretty hectic because you'll get mortaring Titans from the outskirts of the map chipping away at the harvester health or you'll get nuclear titans marching towards your harvester. Rise from TF1 in particular had a wave of 20 or so nuclear Titans that was pretty drat near impossible.

does Frontier Defense use special enemies or will you be facing evil robot versions of existing Titans like Ion/Scorch/etc? Or are the FD titans just "generic" like the Brute one from Story Mode?

Olympic Mathlete posted:Boo, this will mean more people play Scorch instead of just the baddass pilots. Yeah, that's what I was thinking, too. Though it also means Scorch might stand more of a chance on levels that aren't just corridors. Scorch actually works really well on the TF1 levels, its just poo poo like Kodai, Homestead, Eden, and Exoplanet that are bogshit.

There will definitely be normal auto-Titans enemies, but there will also be special variants. In the last game there were Arc, Mortar, and Nuke Titans; those all seem to be returning. Someone noticed what looks like cloaked Titans in one of the shots from the trailer. Who knows what else, but they've said there will be more info soon. Don't expect any "new" Titan chassis or anything, if that's what you meant.

Here's hoping for tick waves, just spawn 30 of them and see what happens

Insert name here posted:Probably the return of the cloak drone from FD1.0, which as its name implies cloaks everything around it That's what I would have guessed too, but the cloaked Titans are scattered throughout a group of uncloaked Titans and there's no sign of drones overhead. It's at like...1:18 in the trailer. Wide and high shot of Homestead, bunch of red Legions and some suspicious blurs in between them. Phoneposting so a pic would be

Nostalgia4Dogges posted:Ya if there's any game I won't really think twice about throwing money at it's this game, they deserve it The way I see it I'd have paid $25 bux for the DLC they have added so far, but I appreciate that they made it free and didn't fragment the already small player base. So, the $10-15 I've thrown at cosmetic stuff I barely care about was well earned. If they ever add custom pilots they will be getting more of my money.

Gunder posted:Is there actually a Scorch buff on the way? I couldn't find anything about it online. In the Reddit AMA someone asked "When will Scorch get buffed" and a dev replied "July 25th" (which is when the FD update drops.) They usually don't release patch notes until right around when the patch hits so don't expect any details until then.

I'm very excited for the upcoming expansion and want to start playing this again. I never even leveled up a character all the way in PVP. My guy is like level 20. What's the go to "make this easy so I can get used to it again" load out and titan that I should use? Also, there are a lot of play modes. Which ones should I play that don't suck?

I think FD has a separate leveling system from PVP.

Play during the day and it's mostly scrubs. You shouldn't have a problem. Nighttime play is sweaty as gently caress.

I've jumped back in over the past two days following a computer rebuild, and I'm actually impressed with the matchmaking. After not playing since December, I've been having a blast and not feeling terrible.

Honestly it felt like that to me on launch for the PC version I picked this up for the PS4 as I've got more pals on it for frontier defense fun time, and it really doesn't seem much different. I loving zapped some rear end in a top hat trying to rodeo me though. Electric smoke, rocket boost side step, ion shoulder laser all zzzzzzzzap! hell yeah

FD being a co-op mode is probably going to get me to reinstall this game after rage uninstalling a couple weeks ago. Getting dropped into games full of nothing but sweaty tryhards sucks rear end when you just want to have fun and learn how to Monarch.

The relatively steep Monarch learning curve is more than compensated for by how mad people get at you once you're good with it

I was glad to see people still get angry about Nuclear Eject. This game is so drat fun. Might dip my toes into the co-op, but I'm just glad Attrition is still populated (though Hardpoint apparently isn't ). Alehkhs fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Jul 24, 2017 |

Monarch is gonna be pretty good in frontier defense I suspect. Unfortunately I think the worst performer will be Northstar.

Patch notes are here. edit: ninja'dquote:NEW CONTENT [FREE] Quicky summary: Melee's lunge range got reduced and takes a bit longer to kick in. SMGs retained their nerfs from the HTTK test. ARs and SMGs now need to aiming at closer targets before aim assist kicks in, and their aim assist settings in general have been altered. Ogre-class titans comes with one dash natively. Turbo Engine simply reduces their cooldowns for them now. Scorch got a bunch of buffs to his kits: Wildfire now increases the damage of the launcher, not just its thermite. Scorched Earth lasts longer. Tempered Plating makes Scorch immune to crits and his own fire. Exposure fucked around with this message at 21:21 on Jul 24, 2017 |

I have a feeling that nerfing G2's fire rate is probably not enough. Also holy poo poo Legion and Scorch get a free Dash? That seems fair, they probably should have had one from the beginning. e: but hey if we want to be fair then of course maybe this means Ion and Tone needs 2 dashes by default? Then leading to Northstar and Ronin getting 3 and chaos ensues.... Wazzit fucked around with this message at 21:26 on Jul 24, 2017 |

Really liking all those Titan changes, especially for Scorch.

Tempered plating is...real good now? No crits is essentially a big rear end HP buff against good players. And being able to stomp through your own fire with impunity helps with positioning. Noice.

I understand the SMG damage nerf from the PC side, but it does concern me on console. I thought SMG damage was fine on console, as you could challenge at mid-range with the CAR and Alternator but still lose to a competent AR/LMG player unless you closed the distance fast.
