I'm still playing on easy. My winrate is maybe 60%. I look forward to unlocking a second aegis upgrade some day.

Currently I'm using Legion. Honestly, the biggest factor in winrate is whether people leave. usually if we somehow fail the final wave, someone drops, and then we fail with 3 people, and then someone else drops, and we immediately fail with 2.

Go to regular, it's barely harder than easy and you get much more XP.

Three things that really help compensate for the rest of your team being dumb pubbies:

1) Use scorch
2) Learn the mortar titan spawns and be waiting for them
3) Arc traps. Arc traps fuckin everywhere. Unless I'm on Homestead or Rise where turrets are basically necessary because of the huge drone swarms, arc traps are basically the only thing I spend money on.

Is there no expedition or brute titan outside of the campaign. Seems odd

Nope none, I guess they'd have to port the designs over from the first game to get enough unique chassis.

Yeah those are basically reskinned weapons from Titanfall 1. Not sure what the reasoning was but they probably didn't have these weapons in mind when designing/balancing the MP combat. Monarch was added a few months after launch and uses the Chaingun and has a upgradable missile lock ordinance but nothing along the caliber of the missile lock from the campaign.

Well the expedition is mostly contained in the monarch now. The Brute was never much more than a modified Northstar anyway, the only thing unique to it was the quad rocket launcher.

How many Tether Traps can be out at once? Is it infinite like the Arc Traps?

Just put a Titanfall 1 Ogre model in with the quad rocket, slaved warheads, and a modified shield core, IMO. It'd be a relatively cheap way of getting an eighth titan in.

I think the max is 3 because they are on a timer.

I feel like we need a stealth titan if we get another one (we're not getting another one), most of the pilot abilities have a rough titan analog except cloak. Grapple too I guess, but you tell me how a grapple titan would work.

Using Overcore Scorch on Rise with the mod that makes your core leave thermite trails is that real poo poo gaming is about

I like the defensive one that negates self damage so I walk through all of my traps and ult with my flame shield toasting fools. It owns.


Don't use it on nuke titans tho

HOW HARD IS IT TO SHOOT THE ENEMY TITANS!!?! JUST loving SHOOT THEM!!

If I'm the only person killing mortar titans, and all 3 other team members are at the base, why did ion titans do 80% of the damage that killed us? Did they forget to shoot them? gently caress.

Yeah, it's bullshit. I don't think you should be able to telefrag them, but getting instakilled trying to close distance is dumb.

Yeah just hold the block button when phase shifting as Ronin. I think it's a small caveat for Ronin being able to block 90 loving percent of damage from all directions shrugging off Laser, Rocket, Flame cores like it's nothing.

I clearly have an alternate universe Ronin, because when I hold block, I still just melt from chip damage. Fortunately, people can't hit me with chip damage IF THEY'RE BUSYING BEING EXECUTED!!!

IIRC it's only 75 or 70% normally, but goes up to 90% while Sword Core is active.

Wazzit

I figured 90 was too high but I was mostly exaggerating because it sure does feel like 90% as I unload a core on a Ronin that casually walks away with his back turned to me. I didn't know about the percentage increase during Sword Core though, that makes a lot of sense now.

Wow flight core is completely worthless on Rise. I guess that makes up for how overpowered the rail gun is on it...

I just pop flight core on the left alley or just find a low ceiling to pop it under

Also my god the faster charging level up makes it so much better

SmallpoxJenkins

I'm usually holding the right lane, and if I decide to pop it just try to aim the missiles so at least 3 of them hit something.
Or hold it for when the harvester gets overrun from the center, and let those arc ronins eat poo poo

Guillermus

The right lane feels like a shooting range for Northstar. You have your chest high table to rest your gun and pop crits on titans. Of course someone will come and put a sentry there wich will be disabled all the time.

I normally set up right at the crosswalk, maybe back up a bit to have that wall on the left serve as cover.
Throw a few traps down and then just wait.

Just got dropped into an FD match that was on round 3 and where everyone but one guy had apparently quit. Then I watched him drop an arc trap behind the harvester and immediately understood why.

The average player of this game is dumber than dirt.

I'm really sick of people just deciding they want to hang out with me instead of killing the enemies near them. Like at the start if a wave, they will take one lane, so i grab the other, and then part way through it, everything is going fine, I'm killing poo poo, and all the sudden a team mate comes over to start blocking my shots and stealing my kills. Okay, I don't really care about "kill stealing" but NO ONE IS IN YOUR LANE AND OH THERE ARE 6 REAPERS WAILING ON THE HARVESTER WHAT THE gently caress ARE YOU DOING!!!?
