Flint_Paper posted:Is there a trick/gimmick with the points of interest where it's just a note that says "sorry, I took the supplies"? Even when I've read the note the POI marker stays on the map, and it makes me wonder if there's something I'm missing in the area/just not shooting enough. Bumping this in case I've missed anything key since I asked. Is there a trick to it? Is it just flavour? Dammit I want my democracy trinkets!

Also I hope Arrowhead never fixes the Bile Titan glitch where they just slowly sink into the ground Poochie style

the main difference between a bile titan and poochie is that if you can't see a bile titan you really should be asking "where's the bile titan?"

JBP posted:Recoilless does a load of damage against everything, but unlike the god tier AC it takes a long time to reload. If you can get a loader it fires extremely quickly and will annihilate anything you look at, but as a gun and backpack man prepare for thrilling reload moments as a charger bears down on you. Me and a buddy started doing this and it's soooooo fun. 3rd teammate will bait the bugs while we post up and just unload a salvo of high explosives at every large target we see.

It may not be the most efficient way to kill them, but watching a scout strider's cockpit armour plate crumple under sustained AMR/HMG fire is very satisfying.

So, on the controller, I can move while calling strategems... in every direction except forward. Is that normal behaviour for everyone? Or is it weird? Is there any way to... have it not do that? I've been coping by looking at what I'm running away from while calling the strategems, for now, but it would be really nice to know if I'm about to run into a lake while typing things in.

Joined a game last night where two of the people kept shooting each other. Then one of them stole my shield pack right in front of me and kept spamming “sorry! I’m sorry!” They followed me and I almost ran into the deep water, but jumped out. They didn’t. Anyway the extract was crazy, and the ship landed and I was being swarmed and I jumped in, but they were actually not near the zone so whoops. I took off without them and they kicked me lol. My b but also gently caress you for kicking. I had a good game after that joining in during chaos with one reinforcement left lol.

The other night a pubbie kicked me from the game the second I got on the evac shuttle. Some people are just pricks and rolling with known quantities just removes the odds of that. But for the most part, I've found silly weirdos who salute the ICBM as it launches and such.

Just host your own game and keep matchmaking on, send an SOS when you get in game to prioritize you with randoms. If you get a shithead who is tk'ing or being a dick then kick em.

I've got like 18 hours logged since release, mostly playing with pubs and honestly haven't had a single bad experience. Did play with a few people who didn't know what they were doing, but that isn't really bad in a coop game.

Ciaphas posted:can't. brainworms I feel this a lot, and yet, I have been forcing myself to endure it because the pubbies somehow find ways to be even worse. Between the ones who kick you for no clear reason (or for obvious bad ones) and the pubbies who simply cannot figure the game out, I have found that I can play for hours with friends, but can rarely get more than an hour of rando quick play in without reaching my absolute limit of BS. I say give people a limited number of kicks per 24 hours and then telling them to either stop setting their games to public, or live with it.

Eediot Jedi posted:I hated the rail gun right up until I realized I can treat it like a hip-fire snipers of old. Can't bring myself to use a shield with it though. it is, yes. The odd thing that I don't understand is that I get that little icon flashing when I push to talk, which shows me the game is in fact recognizing my mic, but no one seems able to hear me. ErKeL posted:Also try disabling other mic inputs. My amp technically as an input as well that I haven't got anything plugged into and disabling that + setting my mic as default input seemed to fix it. EDIT: I'm on Steam at https://steamcommunity.com/id/OnionBro/, if anyone wants to shoot me a friend invite I'd love to play with some goons. Discord link in the OP is dead DOUBLE EDIT: there's actually a physical mic mute button on my headset that I had activated

Holy the hell the scorcher is complete trash. The damage is middling, and the splash damage is a non factor on enemies. However if a hunter leaps in your face the splash will absolutely kill you.

Most of the fun of the game is working to overcome impossible odds, whether that's from the game or your teammates. No excuses for straight-up assholes though.

The fact that it's explosive damage means it does full damage to charger and spewer asses and you can actually just gun them down relatively easily. Also, it's the only primary that can shoot bot walkers in the face because the small explosion kills the pilot. I would still usually rather have the DMR for a similar role but the scorcher isn't totally unusuable

The planet design is fantastic and feels like alien planets, skyboxes are awesome to look at while walking around with the ships in the distance shooting orbital lasers and whatnot. Add in the random weather effects like storms or fog rolling in at just the right time and it's a real looker.

I'm level 11 and haven't gotten a good AT support weapon yet. Should I get an autocannon or recoilless rifle first? Also, how do you feed yourself ammo from your supply backpack? My teammates think I'm very altruistic handing it all to them but I'm really just trying to use the GL as a primary.

is there analysis on at which difficulty levels which POIs spawn? anecdotally I dropped into a level 1 mission last night to wrap up 100 flamethrower kills and it was non-stop beacons/bunkers with medals/super credits/req points.

RR is great but with the slow reload its tough to use in a protracted fight unless you have a dedicated reloader. AC can be used drat near as a primary weapon.

I have enough credits for the premium warbond but nothing in it has really tipped me over the edge from "wait to see what the next one is." The gun looks great and it'd be cool if doing full damage to chargers and spewers made it a good choice, but I feel like you have much better support weapon options by the time you're dealing with heavies in quantities that outpace strategem cooldowns.
