[edit ^: Or maybe I'm thinking of some other feature...] IIRC, because Discord has been steadily Enshitified, a discord server needs to be boosted to a certain level or be a "Community Server" to get permanent join links as an option.

GokuGoesSSj69 posted:Why does no one use the assault rifle drone? I haven't tried it myself but is it really hard to keep enough ammo for it or something? iirc it's a combination of low overall ammo capacity and having a small amount of that refilled by pick ups. i used it once and then immediately bought the laser one next mission.

Do you need 4 players for this? can you use 2 and have bots/random people fill in like DRG? im not sure where this is on the casual-<--|--> get booted for non-meta build spectrum.

Hell you can play solo queues if you want. I've so far played up to Hard difficulty and managed to complete missions with only two players. I really need to get an autocannon they look like fun and they blow up chargers real good.

You can reliably do level 7 missions with randos, which is the minimum level for the highest tier of resources you need. I've heard of being kicked for non meta but never experience it, and you can always host missions yourself if you don't want to worry about it, slots fill pretty much immediately if it isn't bugged

The man portable Autocannon, by itself, is not great against Chargers (unless you can get the leg armor bug to work). If you got a friend with an EAT or a Recoilless to crack a leg open though a single AC shot to the exposed meat will usually kill though. The Autocannon Sentry though will (slowly) gently caress one up by stunlocking it and grinding it down. Or maybe It'll decide that Scavenger about to bite your ankle really needs to die and explode it (and you) instead.

whoever is generating the invite link/code needs to set the expiration. i can create a permanent invite (until i manually revoke it) on my personal, unboosted server so i don't think that's it. it's possible that you might need an actual server admin to do this, tho, it might be more restricted for other people? i dunno how discord roles and permissions work at that level.

alright cool thanks everyone. for some reason I got it in my head that the game suffered if you werent in some 4 buddy mic'd up super squad. e: i guess it would only be more enjoyable if I was, but I don't really have the patience or the buddies with similar patience/commitment for that.

I wish I could confirm my own pings to let people know there is a charger and I'm going to gently caress up killing it. I wish the little comms rose thingo had more options, like "well done!", "how's ammo?", "come load me/ I'll load you", "you kill that please", "run!!!", "don't go that way". Even nonsense fun spam lines like yelling for democracy would be great.

Sindai posted:I dropped a 380 strike in the middle of a medium bot base and it still manages to avoid destroying either factory with laser like accuracy. Pretty silly for a 4 minute cooldown that makes you sit around for 30s watching it. That’s rough. I’ve used it to wax a dozen small/medium bot bases since the upgrade and it has failed on maybe two mediums, leaving one factory alive both times.

Just reiterating, I will make a big post with flashing sirens and everything when the tag is ready to go out and you can quote me then to get one, but it may not be immediate as it needs to get uploaded to the back end and the admins usually appreciate a heads up before we're about to dump a bunch of title changes in the approval queue.

The game thankfully has a pretty solid mute function and also lets you scale people’s voice chat volume individually

It's actually better than the laser dog vs. Robots because it kills small ones in one burst and you are not typically engaging more than a dozen at a time. It is hard to justify over a shield or supply pack, though. But it runs out of ammo too fast vs. Bugs since a dozen is like a regular patrol or one wave of a breach.

Finally tried shield against robots and discovered I've been playing as though I had a shield this entire time! Now my poor use of cover and overly aggressive charges around blind corners can go unpunished.

Yeah, I can't imagine using the rifle drone if I'm gonna have to watch it constantly running dry on ammo. The reason the laser drone is so nice is because you just equip it and forget about it (at least until it lasers your head off). Been having fun playing with a loadout of Laser Drone, EAT, Eagle Airstrike, and Orbital Laser. It's kinda cool dropping down without a fulltime support weapon and just hoping to find something good along the way.
