Holy poo poo I didn't even realize that the shells you loaded into it corresponded with the actual strikes you call down. I thought it was just random chance making EMP's show up sometimes.

SEAF artillery hauls rear end. Is there any way on the map to glean where SEAF, map towers and etc are or might be? I know you get a side op as an objective but being able to plan to get SEAF would be nice.

Inzombiac posted:So, I know that inputting directions for strategies is part of the pressure of the game but is there any way to turn them off? Someone already answered, but it's worth mentioning you can build in a way friendly to this. There's a few strike strategems that only have 3 inputs, and you can round this out with a heavy weapon and/or a backpack item. Those are the kind of things you drop in between fights so you aren't under time pressure to do the inputs. Start with the beginning orbital strike and the eagle strafe, they're are both easy "up right right" style inputs. I'm sure you can find a list somewhere and decide which ones work for you.

Inzombiac posted:So, I know that inputting directions for strategies is part of the pressure of the game but is there any way to turn them off? You can make it easier on yourself if you're on keyboard by rebinding the strategems to arrows or numpad arrows - that way (with sprint on toggle) you can keep moving somewhere while you do the DDR thing. Lot less frantic than trying to dial in a napalm strike in between charger dodges. If that's still not working for you, and you're not averse to it, you can make macros either with hardware if your keyboard has macro keys, or with autohotkey.

I feel it's very on-brand that the smoke shells and mini-nuke shells look identical other than their tooltip.

If you have a free gun (I think everyone gets a railgun right now) I'd just take area denial (turrets or mines) and something to blow poo poo up. If no free gun the stalwart is really good as a primary weapon. 380mm orbital and precision orbital are gold for safe bug busting. Eagle airstrike and strafing run are excellent. I'm very partial to strafing run because it gets a few charges and will clean out a heap of enemies nearly instantly. Never hurts to bring a supply pack if you want to be Mr Helpful.

I'm really digging bringing the supply pack. You can keep people supplied but also if the team can stay topped up through drops and pickups you can use it to give yourself ammo with an ammo hungry weapon like the grenade launcher. The cooldown is pretty short too so I'll call down a new one every now and then to keep my supply packs topped off too.

If you take extra supplies from a supply drop, you can refill your backpack charges, and the supply drop has a way shorter cooldown than the backpack, but the pack is a free refill too, yeah. Really helps for the long missions and your own longevity.

The spew tracks you and there's no window in which the dive is safe. I have been spewed many times in the middle of what I'd consider a perfect dive. The only answer is don't get spewed on by hitting them with AT.

I played a couple intro missions, once solo and then once in quickplay. I finished both, but in both cases, my XP or credits didn't seem to be saved. It froze on the victory screen where everyone is standing greyed out until I hit ESC. Are rewards just not going through right now?

The instinct is to keep firing but if you know you won't kill it in time better to dive or sprint

Where the gently caress do I find any of these supercredits in the mission maps. I haven't even accidentally stumbled across a single one. Is it difficulty based?

Look for the caches that have a white flashing light emitting from it that you have to salute to open, you can usually see them from pretty far away. I've found some on Medium difficulty but not a lot.

Chargers aren't a threat because you can just stare them down with a railgun. I find at mid or close range the tracking is all wonky. Like it feels as though you should have a time that makes dodging safe or mitigates damage but I will do the same timing multiple times and 2/3 you just get spewed to death.

It might work if you dive at the very second they shoot, not sure… I've tried diving early and late, always seems like a diceroll as to how much damage you take, often fatal damage.

Where are you looking? There's a bunch of little buildings scattered through the map that have basements that you can blow open, and the supply gliders you salute to open can sometimes contain them.

I've opened those and I don't feel like I've gotten a thing. I may have gotten ten just now but I dunno.

The pods have a pillar of light to help you see them while you travel. They vary in what's inside a lot. Sometimes credits, but also medals and stuff. Challenging is when you start to find more stuff. I think it's challenging minimum for the rare sample mat.

There are caches scattered around, usually near a building. It looks like an orange or blue shipping container, buried so you can only see the small end. You have to blow it open with a grenade or red explosive barrel, and it usually has money/super credits/weapons.

Like all the game parts are pretty solid, but I'm blown away by just how much they nailed the atmosphere and setting and kind of imbued it with emotional tension. it works really well. No wonder it is selling a billion copies

And other than the network stuff the game feels really, really good. 360k seems low to me, too To be fair, while games pretty much always underestimate their networking needs, their last two games had 11k and 6k concurrency caps on Steam. I’d be surprised if they hit a million sales on Magicka sooner than a decade in, here they’ve done it in three days. Someone mentioned that it was shown on a bunch of Sony trailer reels but that’s not really any guarantee of a game blowing up orders of magnitude bigger than your last two.
