Space Chief Prime has the most words (or DOES it?) and therefore has the most democracy in it.

Admirable Admiral is pretty loving great considering one of my favorite city of heroes characters was Alloy Archmage, so I am clearly biased towards AA gaming.

I guess people will find out soon enough if there are more three, or dare we hope four word titles.

Moving at the speed of death.


:hmmyes: I always wanted to like the jar-5 but ended up rolling back to the slugger. gonna give it another go. It seems like it should be useful both on bot and bug maps. The new stagger part especially is what makes me want to try it again on the bug maps. I usually ran Rover + slugger; Let the rover deal with most chaff, and stun whatever was most likely to kill me. When I tried the jar-5 that was the main thing that felt worse. I got used to the protection the stagger provided. Bile spitters gave zero shits about getting hit by the jar.

Tested and nope, no effect. It shoots high regardless of what position you are in, and regardless of whether you shoot during upsway/downsway. No idea what compels people to say these things.

I thought I would be relying on first person more than I am but I always feel accurate enough zooming in over the shoulder rather than going first person and losing situational awareness, and the general aim drag and aim punch when you get hit are more annoying in first person.

I do like how it feels like they took something from VR shooty games though with the aim drag

Since this patch, I'm getting crashes possibly related to the super store now. Earlier I wanted to hit the warbond tab while looking at the super store and crashed, then now I hit the requisitions hotkey, superstore opened without loading the armor images, then immediately crashed.

Guess I'm verifying files again, to see if it helps.

Edit: 1 corrupted file re-downloaded, seems to be fixed. And warbonds load their images for the unlocks way quicker now, too.

Yeah, with the slugger changes I think I'll go back to breaker/autocannon with stuns and 500kgs or 110s for the tanks/hulks.

I don't think my aim is good enough to take down berserkers or devastator packs without the Slugger stagger, and they have enough of them that I'm not sure the Quasar can keep up either.

What a great morning. My favorite gun got buffed! I've always really liked the Dominator already but felt like it didn't really stand out from the Slugger or Scorcher. The Slugger probably didn't deserve the stagger nerf though.

"Destroy the Command Bunker" bot missions only appear on difficulty 7-9. They're also significantly easier on 7 because you need to destroy 1/2/3 bunkers respectively and with only one base you can drop directly on top of it, chuck out a couple lasers and finish the main objective in under a minute.

BIG VINCE COMIN FOR YOU
No more stun against bile titans is a huge nerf to stun nades - they’re “nice to have” for spewers and chargers but it was really the stun>500kg combo that made them feel like a slam pick. 500kg still probably best for them but you need to aim it more carefully or wait for a spit animation.

Re: arc thrower, wasn’t the old follow up 1s? So is this faster charge on first shot by making the follow up shot speed the default, but no more follow up shot charge time reduction? Or is it a 1s base and 0.8s follow up now? I think either way the range reduction is a pretty big nerf but probably the only way to make machine guns even close to relevant.

I do that every time it crashes and it always finds at least one corrupted file. Doesn't do anything to alleviate the crashes. My drivers are up to date. Lots of people had problems with crashes at launch, I didn't until they started patching. It's also stopped showing the crash report thing a few patches back.

LOVES EVERY FUCKING GAME EVER MADE. EVER.
I was trying to give an overseas buddy the hard sell last night because as another PC gamer it might be our only chance to play together and shoot things while chatting. Then this morning I wake up and find out the bots now have gunships and AT-ATs. Well, more accurately an AT-TE.

Hell, I think so far I've gotten my $40 worth out of just the memes and animations and various fan art which has been top tier. Getting to participate in an ongoing, well loved, evolving game has been wonderful. I think I'm at the stage now where I'll start actively avoiding looking at the leaks about upcoming weapons and enemies and just let it arrive and surprise me.

God, I loving love this game. Going to log on and shoot some things and delay all the important real world things I should be doing instead.

That one file is just an anticheat file and not actually corrupt or a problem. It's just saving something.

I would still verify after every patch though.

With the level cap increased, has the game been tracking XP beyond the level 50 cap? I'm hearing people are diving with people who are already several levels above 50. Even heard of someone apparently seeing a level 104, which seems functionally impossible.

Yes, I logged in and was level 82. Probably best that I didn't suspect they'd do it this way or I probably never would have taken a break for the past week.

Have you tested to see if its a zeroing thing? That would make the most sense to me honestly.

So, do the Gunships have any weakpoints that can be damaged by medium penetration small arms like the AMR or HMG? I shot one at the engine but was unsure if that was what did the deed, otherwise kind of feels like anti-tank is going to be needed. Guess that's why command is giving free EATs at the Creek.

You could basically do this by mashing the fire button with burst anyways, there was no delay on the burst (and you had to hold down the button to fire the full burst :v:).

So the same more or less.
