Important question: how do you do emotes/poses? I didn't know there were any in this game, but I was playing with some Japanese randoms last night and while we were waiting for a scripted event to kick off the beginning of a mission, the fencer in the group did this ballin pose: I didn't hit the screenshot button in time so this is him getting back up from the pose but he was layin down all cool and poo poo. I need to know how to style on dead bugs please

Air raider in mp doesn't lack damage, it's just awkward damage You're really good at killing "a big group of bugs" or "exactly one thing" but "exactly 4 bugs right next to you" is the ultimate Achilles heel. If big dudes are dodge rolling out of your spritefalls I recommend tagging them with an autocannon (or better, a minigun) first, the stagger will hold them in place while the beams melt them Also just, like, get 4 or 5 big guys in the radius of 1 spritefall. 2 or 3 of them aren't going to roll out.

The random voice lines are just so good sometimes. Are you a soy sauce or ketchup person? Don't say stupid things.or  I don't want to fight these things in a place like this! That's what the drill sergeant said, too.

I've been using that menu for communicating with non-English speakers but had no idea there were emotes in there too. I thought everything in there was text and voice (or just text). I edited my quick chat menu but now I'm gonna have to experiment with emotes.

Gamerofthegame posted:they lack damage in the context of MP, where the bombing runs have a tendency to just toss things around. Oh yea I totally forgot about the stuff with no mobility button, I don’t think I ever used those types all game

Hand Cannons, Gallics and Mortars are still great, but as I head into Hardest/Inferno I think I might have to start using a Reflector and Jackhammer as my go-to secondaries instead.

I have noticed with fencer jumping that dashing forward into a jump feels inconsistent. Sometimes the jump isn’t recognized as you hammer down or do it too early. Said inconsistency does not happen when moving sideways. Remember fencers: always strafe dash to shoot and scoot to perfection.

So, how do I actually invite friends to play this after I make a room? I can't find it in the manual.

Replaying on hardest difficulty and hoping to get guns worth a drat is somewhat frustrating. The hardest part so far is trying to keep focused and not close my eyes and sigh heavily every time I hear "THEY'RE JUST LIKE US! TWO EYES, TWO HANDS!" in the Colonist introduction missions. I love my EDF brethren but... we really need to raise our hiring standards a little.

There were a few maps I legitimately swear by the free bike warts and all, like chasing after the fortress. So I could zip over to help Air Raiders and revive wing divers between chasing the fortress and whittling the limbs off cyber frogs so the fencers have an easier time giving them a surprise colonoscopy. Even when I'd leave the bike behind and wildly gesticulated towards it, the Air Raiders never wanted it though That said, I remember it being surprisingly difficulty to hand complete strangers one of the ranger tanks. Given the EDF community is extremely chill, I've put that down to them probably thinking "It would be RUDE for me to steal their tank!"

ninjewtsu posted:Air raider in mp doesn't lack damage, it's just awkward damage Yeah this is a totally accurate portrayal of the class in MP. Literally no one trivializes hordes of bugs like air raider(multi-line phobos runs are the best AoE in the entire game, period), and you can make absolute hash out of groups of cosmos and frogs with cannons/spritefall/nyx or barga, but whoopsie doodle 3 spiders sneaking behind your nyx means you're dead! It's an awkward class mostly because it's so polarized. In many missions, you're either you're completely owning and carrying the team on your shoulders singlehandedly or you're borderline totally helpless and useless, with little middle ground. Stages with shield bearers and transport ships are good examples - in real time I've had my contribution to the team go from almost nothing to solo clearing most of the map the moment a friend pops a single annoying shield bearer. They really, really need to bring back the thing from EDF 4.1 where the satellite blaster/bulge laser could pierce stuff from the top and hit underside weak points - this actually gave Air Raider a reasonable way to kill transports that wasn't a loving useless limpet gun or vehicle, and would help make the bulge laser more attractive again since they nerfed it from being The Best Call-In, Period.

We need a Proteus-sized punch-mech solely for going Rock-em-Sock-em Robots on frogs and Primers. It's just too awkward to accomplish the same with Barga. Also give Rangers a dedicated equipment slot for support weapons/AI redshirt call-ins. I want to have EDF chant support at all times.

That would be an awesome thing, actually. Give us paratrooper callins for all those vehicle credits. They don't even have to be good allies, they could just be two dudes with lovely rifles and I'd still call them in every chance I got.

Iron rain had sorta non idiot edf and it wasn't nearly as good to listen to, aside from 2 people. They had a dude who really liked bugs and was entertainingly weird about it even while being attacked by them, and a science man who sounded like someone's granddad accidentally found a radio and just started talking about whatever. I think what i really want in the next edf is another scientist thats knows nothing of science.

What are good wing diver weapons? I use the spark vine thing, and any time it try something else I'm disappointed. Mission 30-40. Gleipner is very fun but I'm not sure if it does much damage.

And when the camera pans to show something in particular, loving up your controls and possibly killing you in gunfire. How about you just freeze everyone in place instead of letting everyone but the player continue in cut scenes, game.
