Your Brain on Hugs posted:Yeah there's no way in hell I'm gonna speak or listen to internet randoms. When I get a good group where everyone is tagging and generally competent it's really not that different from when I'm playing with friends on voice comms. Idk, I’ve met pretty rad people randomly on the internet. I respect your choice. I’m saying that there’s no replacement for communication even though you can absolutely be successful with pings. I wish they’d add bots so that people who agree with you could play how they like. Tender Bender posted:I agree with this but then I guess I do want a microphone-user filter, so I can go no-mics only. I only want to talk to people if they're my friends. I have my gaming PC on our living room TV so I'm gonna be just chilling and chatting with my wife instead of talking to randos on the Internet. No offense to the randos. I'm one of them. That’s fair and exactly what I want for the opposite reasons. I use push to talk so I can talk to my wife and be a more useful teammate. E: not trying to poo poo on how anybody plays, I just want the option since this is a big enough game that splitting the playerbase wouldn’t matter. I don’t get a ton of time to play anymore and would rather enjoy it how I want to (just like y’all do)

Unless I missed it, have they fixed that whole fire/chem DoT damage only working for hosts yet? I've kind of mentally checked out with those weapons for the time being and don't recall a patch note fixing it.

Just ignore fire weapons unless you're the host.

Note: the bug apparently makes DoTs work properly for the network host, which is not necessarily the same person as the game host.

I've been playing against bugs with a breaker incendiary a lot, always as the host, and whenever someone joins who is also using the breaker incendiary I compare our kills:shots hit ratio at the end of the match, and it's almost always roughly equivalent. I think the fire dot bug only happens when the host has bad Internet and the non-host players get desynced. But in my experience people joining my games seem to do fine with fire damage. And the dot is definitely working for me, I've counted out the number of shots it takes for me to kill various bugs with the dot e.g. warriors are 3 shots then the dot will finish them, small bugs are one shot and the dot will finish them even if they only get hit by a single pellet. Which is also consistent across all matches I've played. Some examples I took screenshots of:  Me: 0.4 kills per shot hit Blue: 0.38 kills per shot hit (we were both breaker/quasar)  Me: 0.36 kills per shot hit Blue: 0.43 kills per shot hit (I was breaker-only, blue was breaker/flamethrower) I usually take a supply pack with it so I shoot way more than other people but the ratios are consistent To be fair this methodology is not great for a few reasons, for example it has no way of accounting for things like how many targets were hit with each shot, but it generally ends up with roughly 0.35-0.4 kills per shot hit regardless of whether it's me as the host or someone else who joined. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 02:08 on Apr 15, 2024 |

Yeah it's definitely not as simple as "only 1 randomly selected player in each game can do damage over time" and probably far less common than people think.

Huh, interesting. My initial searching for an answer had mixed results, but I'm glad the incendiary breaker is still doing work.

I’ve taken the incendiary breaker exactly once, along with the gas strike for one of those new defence missions. Turns out having your primary and your crowd clearing strat both do nothing sucksssss.

Playing with random people is fun. Unless you play solo or have a very dedicated group of friends on standby, I don’t get why you would want to play a multiplayer game online I’ve met a lot of very chill people. Only one on mic jabroni.

Honestly, I feel like setting up the Menkhent Line hurts pretty good. Really feels like we're pouring effort in to turn the tide of a massive invasion in the most trying possible circumstances.

Didn't they buff fire damage a while ago? That could be compensating for the DoT bug even if the mechanic isn't working consistently.

Rhymenoserous posted:It does not, is the eruptor actually good vs bots? I feel like not going ac or quasar with a decent trash sweeper is questionable. That's an odd statement since the Eruptor is a primary and the AC and Quasar are strategems. They don't compete for a space You use the Eruptor AND the AC or Quasar. Or Arc, or Stalwart, or.... I think the Arc with Eruptor and Redeemer with stun grenades and shield or laser dog works great against Bots

I like to pair the AC with the sickle on bots, sickle can sweep all the little guys really fast, AC handles everything else, plus airstrike for tanks. Eruptor plus redeemer can work well with the Quasar, it's like a mini AC and the Quasar gives you a little more long range flexibility with turrets and tanks, plus you can run a shield. I swap between these loadouts depending on the mission type. I think the AC loadout is a little better overall if you get good at not dying.

I haven't used the AC since the AMR got buffed. It feels like anything the AC does, the AMR can do better (except oneshot striders).

You can actually one shot them if you get the right angle into the engine block. Sort of almost parallel to the side but just tilted in. I think it penetrates and gets the rider's leg. AC is much much better at tanks, cannon towers, hulk backs and gunships though. It can also take down fabs.

The AC is also much better against devastators because it staggers them (even on shield hits) and can hit multiple if they're grouped together. You take the AMR because it lets you use a backpack.

I suck at aiming down sights and lose all situation awareness when I do so the AC stands supreme compared to the AMR to me I know the AC has some handling sway but has anyone else noticed that it feels like it just casually aimbots perfectly across a moving bot right when you pull the trigger and erase it from the planet? May just be confirmation bias but it feels like the gun aims for me half the time. Same for the recoil swinging right back onto a Hulk’s eye hole

Tom Tucker posted:I suck at aiming down sights and lose all situation awareness when I do so the AC stands supreme compared to the AMR to me I always just use third person aim and have it set so the aiming circle is always present, as long as the circle is on top of what you're shooting at when you press the trigger, it'll hit. You can just sweep across and hit 4 striders in 2 seconds while still moving if you do it this way.

People keep saying those are hard (the 15 min one) but they're really not. Change your stratagems if you need to, emp mortar is always a good pick and the regular mortar is too against bots.

They rely on three things. The first is that you pick the right stratagems and get them deployed in good positions immediately. Second is that you are hitting the VIP spawn buttons on cooldown all the time. Third is luck of the draw on the spawn seed. By far the third is the most important, and there is really very little you can do if you're unlucky on it. The mission is not well designed.
