Been having a bad night for getting matches that don't fall apart instantaneously, but I did manage to complete a Trivial defense mission solo, so I can at least say I did something to help defend the citizens of Super Earth. (Just ignore how I ended up killing so many that the mission was net-negative on Requisition.)

The Spear is insanely strong against robots in general - with the sole exception of being worse than the Recoilless/EAT against Dropships (which can the RR/EAT can 1-shot). That being said dropships are currently buggy as gently caress and don't correctly fall out of the sky as intended. Spear lets you take out bot fabricators, tanks and turrets in one hit and from crazy rear end ranges to boot. It also demolishes a lot of Bug heavies, and lets you take out the Spore Spewers from high ranges. If you work out the correct distance, you can 1-shot Bile Titans with it: basically wait until they are in spitting range and it will fly directly into their face. Versus the automatons, though, I will never stop singing the praises of our lord and savior, The Unsafe Railgun. Against bots there is no better weapon. Tanks and Turrets are the only thing you have to either dump 6+ rounds into or shoot in the vents (3ish shots). DarkDobe fucked around with this message at 01:10 on Feb 16, 2024 |

the secret with the new protect scientists mission appears to be everyone just hitting the drat button you can finish it in 3 minutes if everyone hits the drat button instead of me running in circles trying to hit all the buttons LuiCypher posted:Doesn't really help, they do it when we get back to the ship. The public community in this game is really wearing me down... my mistake. i thought you were talking about getting kicked before the end of mission, which apparently has been a thing with certain hosts. in such a case you get screwed out of mission rewards completely. Getting boned on operation rewards is annoying, but pretty minor relatively speaking. Maybe they were just done playing, or had a friend they wanted to play with; so it goes.

Little Ampton posted:I couldn't get past the first obstacle in the tutorial, and after comparing footage with a friend it turned out this barbed wire spawned too low for me to go under, even going prone didn't work lol This poo poo happened to me too and I was so confused about why it wouldn't let me progress. Closed out and tried again later and it was fine. Based on other fuckiness, it seems the game sometimes isn't sure where the ground is or what direction is up, causing extraction shuttles and turrets and probably other stuff to fall through the floor or orient weirdly.

victrix posted:iirc the game director said the intent is all the primaries have some kind of niche and are roughly similar in power, I don't think any of them are intended to be wildly better than the others (ymmv of course), depending on the opponent type/mission type/your loadout Yeah except for the 225 which is just twice as good as every other gun I think this is accurate.

I think they're getting kicked before the operation can be finished. So they'll join an operation do the first mission get back to the destroyer get rewards for that mission, but then get booted so they can't actually complete the operation thus getting the bonus rewards

If someone's friend logs on or something I get it, it's not like some TK or denial of mission rewards to be spiteful.

Getting kicked after completing a mission but before the full 3 are done seems completely fine to me. If they want to make room to play with a friend, why should they be obligated to do the entire 3 missions with you? That's like an hour of game time. Kicking you for spurious reasons during a mission is obviously unacceptable and should require a vote or limitations based on time spent in mission.

Speaking of poor camaraderie, I got my first 3 super samples from a mission and told the team about it. 10m later and we're boarding evac while under duress like normal, except one of the guys calls in a cluster bomb on the VTOL as we're boarding. I managed to get on it because I was first, but everybody else got annihilated and wiped out 40 other samples.

I feel like this game is getting less and less stable. Keep having new and unique issues basically every time I play. Also, those new defend and evacuate missions on the bot planets are absolutely brutal. I lost one in challenging, I haven't lost a match in that diff in so long. I did win a couple later but the scaling and spawns are all wrong on those, massive difficulty spike compared to most missions. sure okay posted:Ive noticed that if I railgun a Chargers leg it takes about 7 shots with my autoshotty into that same leg to drop them, which is less that but almost a full clip. I basically just empty the clip. It makes perfect sense, I'd much rather be shot in the butt than in the leg Shaman Tank Spec posted:What is actually the use case for the laser support weapon? It seems OK against trash enemies, but no better than the machine gun. And it seems completely useless against anything tougher or more durable. It's pretty good against anything lower than a charger, and it never runs out of ammo. So yeah, it's pretty good for trash mobs and at lower difficulties. Turk posted:I had a guy who was blowing his nose constantly while eating chips. Today I heard a kid talking to his dad about his day while the dad just goes hmm. Yeah. Okay. Kinda sad The one I hate the worst though is when you can hear all the sounds in their game reflected back multiple times. All the gunshots, callouts, etc. with reverb attached. Not fun. Some people are so dumb. Like I play without talking a lot, but if I am and I have to do something else or talk to someone else I just switch the headset mute on so they don't have to hear it.

TheDeadlyShoe posted:the secret with the new protect scientists mission appears to be everyone just hitting the drat button I think there are only two buttons? And yeah the strat is to station a player at each one and then two others who try and take out dropship enemies. If you only do one door it'll take way longer since there's essentially a cooldown. Also, don't worry at all about the scientists, it's a waste of time just keep pressing the button. There's plenty of the buggers Also, people are dropping outside of the scientist area which makes no sense, better to drop right into it Play fucked around with this message at 03:03 on Feb 16, 2024 |

I am pretty sure the difficulty for the escorts and defense missions is backwards, defense missions are a snoozefest with long lulls between waves so you just wait around until you hit the kill count, escorts are a none-stop murderfest with never less then 100 elite enemies at any one time and if you aren't escorting asap you will be overwhelmed fast.

I'm half convinced this is supposed to be a plot point which makes it seem hopeless for the next two days and then things turn around. The other half, though, is reminded of how hard bot missions are generally and thinks that maybe this is overtuned juuuust a little bit.

GlyphGryph posted:Every map Ive escorted on has had three buttons so far Ah word, I think the original escorts only had two which is why I thought that. Then the best strat is to bring sentries and airstrikes, drop directly into the facility, get on all three buttons and keep pressing them as soon as you can. With three buttons it would only take three presses each to meet the req.

Crossing my fingers that this game isn't flash in the pan. Would love to see a big starship troopers game live online. Probably helped a lot by just being 4 players squads installed of 60 player matches, so here's hoping they don't get weird amount monetization or gently caress up the servers

Def something up with the Defense civ evac mission vs bots. Unless theres some way to cheese it then idk if I can make it past 4 there. Will try the button spam.Ra Ra Rasputin posted:I am pretty sure the difficulty for the escorts and defense missions is backwards, defense missions are a snoozefest with long lulls between waves so you just wait around until you hit the kill count, escorts are a none-stop murderfest with never less then 100 elite enemies at any one time and if you aren't escorting asap you will be overwhelmed fast.

For what it's worth when I was doing escort missions before last nights patch they were completely sane and the patch notes only specified changes to defense missions so I'm assuming it's some studio driven thing.
