Sindai posted:I really wish the bullet dog's backpack icon showed total ammo left instead of the current mag. What do you mean by you "can't figure out how"? The magazines are visible on the backpack itself, they are the 6 straight waffle sticks that are flat against the back when the gun dog is deployed and vertical when its docked. When reloading they get shoved into the gun dog itself. Also I thought the backpack icon does show the total reserve? Maybe I just never noticed and assumed otherwise, I don't use the gun dog much, like everyone else. Edit > looking at a recent youtube video I guess it does, huh.

The trick is to just never use Eagles    My Eagles are all 500kgs I've barely ever touched the other Eagles. I do all my killing with my guns

Lol that everyone salutes when they're readied up now. That's a cute touch. The new speedloader on the revolver is fantastic. It's a seriously effective secondary now instead of just a stylish one. (I ran it before this change  )3 magazines on the sickle seems about right. I was already tending to ignore the overheating mechanism because I'd never run out before I found another ammo pickup. This makes it a little more thoughtful without ruining the gun. The infinite grenade glitch still works. They did change something, because now when you perform the move it says you have 232 grenades instead of -1. But it still works the same way. I'm glad to see the termicide towers coming back in corrupted form, but those missions do seem awfully quick and easy.

i did real well in a run with the airburst actually, but it was on the wide open ice planet. sniped multiple fabs, annihilated patrols, etc. i think it is very biome dependent whether its good or not. you need long sightlines

Oooh they changed the spore spewers to take like 8 autocannon shots instead of 2. Fair enough I guess. Those were totally meaningless objectives if you could spot them from a distance. (Still meaningless, but at least you have to stop for a few seconds now). Also I can't wait for them to fix the fire damage bug because I assume that's why the thermite grenades suck total rear end. I should not be able to stick all four of them on a single charger and have the loving thing keep on running even after all four have burnt out and exploded.

I took the quasar, and it took two or three shots to down the spore spewer giant mushroom. Each of the shrieker mushrooms took 2-3 shots each as well (which is normal). Looks like they just upped the life/armor of it to the shrieker mushroom standards? It wasn't too bad on the moon-like planet, since it's so flat I could see it from a mile away and just took shots at it as the quasar recharged.

Adjudicator still feels like it doesn't have enough ammo in the mag. It's useable but even with the extra couple of mags I'm skating up against not having any primary ammo all the time when fighting against bugs. Which is a little bit of a shame, but might be balanced exactly where they want it, because otherwise it performs fantastically against all bugs that aren't chargers or bile titans. Eruptor basically feels unchanged.

It'd be nice to have those anti tank mines. If they want more loadout variety, especially against bugs, more anti heavy armor options is what is needed. I'm guessing it won't damage bile titans and teamkill everyone in a huge radius with how garbage the airburst launcher is though.

Did they fix Stalker invisibility or maybe just on the fire planet? Also - did they fix pinging the map to find the stalker lair? A bunch of stalkers I couldn’t see hounded my team for ten minutes and I pinged half the map before finically stumbling into their lair. It was nuts. When they went invis I could barely see them. Difficulty went up about double because of it.

Crossbow is good against bots. Much easier to land direct shots and it does stunlock devastators. Railgun is also good against bots again. Unsafe mode oneshots devastators on their body, and it can damage turrets without hitting their vents, which is nice to finish one off if a teammate didn't manage to get the kill before it turned. Didn't get a chance to test it against gunships though. Sindai fucked around with this message at 03:58 on Apr 30, 2024 |

Yes they specifically mentioned stalkers had their invisibility thing fixed so they not longer look incredibly obvious when cloaked. They are actually way more loving frightening now.

Its one of the overgrown super sample rocks that has a square depression infront of it with some ammo and the samples IDK if it is just me, but I cannot for the life of me find the SS on the new bug planets. Even with this suggestion, I just cannot find them.

I only played a few missions tonight but so far I think all of the changes were great. The stuff that trivialized the game like fire damage or quasar spam is nerfed just enough to not make them all-purposes solutions and the other stuff is buffed enough to the point where everything feels fairly competitive with valid reasons to bring or not bring everything. It doesn't feel as easy at high difficulties anymore but it doesn't feel unbeatable, feels just about right. Changes to the fire DoT damage seem to have affected Incendiary Breaker initial damage in some way, it no longer instakills Hunters with a single point blank shot. The fire DoT will still finish them off but it no longer feels like an insane damage hose that mulches every small/medium bug effortlessly. It feels just about right to be fun and strong without just making the game easy

Just wrapped up an evening session and I love this patch. I haven't seen anyone post this, but in my experience tonight they stealth patched the spear. I had zero lock on issues in a couple of hours of playing with it; only against the bugs though, it could probably still struggle with the bot turret towers. Worked just fine on Chargers and Bile Titans every time! Honestly, the Quasar needed the extended cooldown time; I think it was too easy to shoot down multiple dropships and probably wasn't the intended purpose. Other than that, it does its job just as well as a single use rocket, then switch to your primary and have fun. It'll be back in 13 seconds. Senator getting the speed loader is incredible. The arc blitzer seems REALLY good now. I feel like it's almost just as easy to clear bug breaches as an arc thrower, given there are no heavies. Speaking of which, the arc thrower can still stun lock hulks which I worried about when I read their stagger resistance buff. Crossbow and Eruptor still feel powerful and fun to use! While I miss the bonkers splash on the crossbow, it's still effective at clearing enemies all bunched together with its fire rate. Laser dog is fine; the fact that I don't die instantly when it lasers my face is actually a good thing. All I need it to do is clear the little guys that get too close while I focus on the bigger targets. Which it still does a good job at. Literally just last night I kited a pack of 8+ hunters rushing a hard drive to the objective. The laser dog killed them all in about 12 seconds with me just running away. I guess I was using the sickle the intended way, because I almost never let it overheat. When I get close to overheating, just switch to a senator/support weapon and bust heads for like 4 seconds, and by then it's cooled down. All in all, fantastic improvement to the game! However, my number #1 favorite feature of all are the delicious tears from people who think they know better than the designers that made this fun as poo poo game. I don't think it was an accident. They probably know what they're doing. Colorspray fucked around with this message at 06:26 on Apr 30, 2024 |

lmao the fact that you can kill yourself with your own projectiles means people are killing themselves with eruptor shrapnel (instead of just their teammates as has been happening since it was introduced), misattributing it to ricochets, and posting very angrily on reddit about it.

LazyMaybe posted:Honestly, I feel like it might be underreporting my eagle kills. Not uncommon to get at least 5 kills with airstrikes(and sometimes way more than that), getting less than 2 kills per eagle callin doesn't seem right. Several patches back they zeroed out historical Eagle kills. I probably lost 10k Eagle kills from my career stats.

Tonight was my first time using it ever and it was pretty awesome. Like suspiciously good. Good enough to renege on the buff and give it a nerf. Not perfect, obviously. It's good for getting up in bugs' business and that's pretty much where you have to be if teammates are around so you're at risk of whatever they're firing past you or if the gun's stagger doesn't catch everything headed towards you.

I saw solo player games today where they had constant fighting with very few breaks. They attributed it to the patrol spawn changes. But I played fours and had the same experience. High density of enemies all throughout the game. I chucked an eagle airburst for the daily, got 37 kills, and there were still 20+ bugs to kill. Just crazy amounts of bugs showing up.
