It really feels like they've written themselves into a corner with the AMR and Railgun. Going to be real complicated trying to give them both a niche. The solution I suppose would be to make the AMR have bad armor pen but a ton of damage, like one-shot Brood Commander damage. Leave the Railgun as dedicated anti-tank and leave the AMR for anti-medium, cleaning up Spewers and Devastators. raverrn fucked around with this message at 09:47 on Mar 21, 2024 |

They could be different in handling too, AMR snappier but lower damage, rail gun something that needs a bit to settle which would synergize with the charge time. I don't use either so I can't really comment on how they are currently.

LazyMaybe posted:First off, shooting the front plate with of striders with the AMR is the worst way to kill them with it. i didn't say it was a good way of killing them, i said it was something the machinegun couldn't do. the machinegun can pen the legs too and take them down fairly quickly, but bounces off the front plate. And, yeah, I know it can damage hulk weakspots but it ought to be able to damage them generally and I'm pretty sure it bounces off of everything but the head and the vent. As for devastators, yes, you can one-shot devastators with a headshot. For about 10% of the effort required to do that you can also put 5ish machinegun bullets into their torso and kill them that way. Or just headshot them with a primary a couple of times because their head isn't really armoured. Like the current state of the weapon is that it is meant to be a high damage armour piercing weapon with limited ammo and fire rate, but the slot that its in has it competing with a gun that has very nearly the same range, damage, and armour penetration values and also has an extra 150 rounds per magazine and fires 100 times faster, and a gun that one-shots enemies that the AMR cannot even damage.

I find killing rocket devastators who're harrassing you from range much more comfortable with the AMR than machinegun, and killing hulks via eye shots is a pretty big deal. Especially now that stun grenades exist and make them both trivial and super cheap to kill at medium range or closer. The only thing I currently want changed about the AMR is the reticule alignment.

They could make the AMR better at popping off armor while the railgun will never destroy armor, only penetrate it. I feel like letting the AMR do damage to hulks or tanks, etc, with body shots would definitely mix up the identities of it and the railgun. Already they handle a little different and have different firing and reload demands. I swear sometimes the AMR will one shot stalkers from the front if you hit them right in the crotch, maybe it has the tinest splash or is otherwise hitting both the leg and waist section? The railgun, at least in unsafe mode, pretty much always oneshots stalkers. Hilariously though I feel like if I shoot the top part of a stalker with the railgun then the pilot survives and hops down to start firing as the stalker falls, and the pilot dies if I railgun the crotch/platform section, when it clearly should be the opposite. It feels like it's a slightly tricky thing to balance while not making the AMR always more desireable than the current railgun. Either way the only thing I want them to fix asap is the scopes on both being more than a little rear end.

Give the AMR a 3-6x power scope and I'd likely take it in lieu of binoculars.

Had a 7 difficulty mission where everybody played nice and coordinated pretty well and then the host kicked everyone (or at least one dude and then me) right as the drop ship came in. No teamkills or anything, just being a dick for the sake of it. Feels very undemocratic.

Yeah happened again thus morning for me as well as last night except this time nobody teamkilled anyone and it was going smoothly. No clue what that's about but it puts a sour taste in my mouth, not only to miss out in super samples but kinda kills the good vibes from the earlier game too. I miss DRG's community.

Y'all sure you're explicitly getting kicked? Only ask because cascading crashes that take it once person after another in a short period have been pretty common lately.

The plasma punisher is a cool weapon but also it does like 1/4 the damage it should for how awkward it is. Real feel bad weapon when you nail the trickshots and then it tickles the enemy. The aoe falloff is especially bad.

The AMR rules. I've been taking it on bugs and it one shots both types of bile spitters to the head. It's also really easy to no scope into groups of medium bugs and tear them apart. Good panic button for stalkers too.

I've started to like the scythe alright on bot missions. It still needs a buff but it pops heads fast, including devastator heads. The laser cannon meanwhile feels like it does some things well but has a weirdly hard time against berserkers or walker crotches.

It’s always given me a big YOU HAVE BEEN KICKED. But there is a lot of THE HOST HAS QUIT right after missions end so sometimes I wonder. As opposed to games like monster hunter where getting kicked is you are given a connection error.

I've had a couple of games crash me to my ship as the extract gets called, but there's no kick message. I put it down to misfortune tbh because I love players when I host all the time. Hosting is always safest for everything fault wise.

I will admit that seeing the host go to the strategem terminal then I get the HOST HAS LEFT notification I'm not 100% on the accuracy of what the game is telling me. I just needed 10 super credits

Finally encountered shriekers tonight, God they're fun. I couldn't stop laughing at their bodies killing you with impact if you kill them while they're flying at you. Spray and Pray is good for them. Their nests are tough though.

I think the AMR and Railgun having similar roles is fine because they have extremely different gunfeels, so people can pick what they enjoy more.

The AMR is basically a baby autocannon that trades reduced ammo capacity and non-explosive damage for the ability to equip a backpack. It could maybe use a bit of a buff, but that's its niche, and it's pretty OK against bots.

I'd use the AMR more if I didn't have to use the scope. It would be godlike if you had a reticle like all the other guns.

I would use the AMR, because I like the idea of it, if the crosshairs were actually zeroed. But they aren't so there's no point. In a sea of weapons ranging from good, through mostly okay, to outright bad, it is choosing the only gun with an actual handicap.

The rounds hit like a truck, but you definitely need your teammates to be giving you the space to lay down fire with it, if things get up in your face you'll have to rely on your sidearm. Personally I usually find that I am running around a lot and rarely have the opportunity to take a knee and put shots down range, so I prefer the Slugger. The Slugger is also better at hitting things at range simply because you don't have to lead your shots so much.

I wish devs would add the ability to reconnect to disconnected games, god drat. All that progress lost because of a crash to desktop. I also wish the devs would add a prompt upon mission success that lets you select whether to continue with your squad or return to your own ship. It is obnoxious as hell to return to someone else's ship, load in, exit to your own ship, load in. Streamline that poo poo!

This is so freaking true, lately I have had just straight up crashes and not even disconnects. Would love it if you could rejoin a game but this game has no many lacking features and features that straight up don't work. Shows how good the actual game is.
