PSA for anyone about to be region-locked: Sony's official workaround is to set your country to the closest around. Hong Kong for Philippines, Egypt for MENA, South Africa for sub-Saharan Africa, and Finland for the Baltics

SCs are definitely a luck-of-the-draw type of deal unless you're actively grinding for them by spamming trivial missions. Personally I've been getting all the Warbonds with the POI drops I've been getting and the freebie 100 drops in the previous Warbonds pretty easily enough, it's when a nice pair of armor shows up in the store when things start getting complicated...

Because you get them at about the same cadence as rare samples, yet the first of each upgrade takes like 80 of them and 10 rare samples Honestly, it should probably be 80/10/0, 10/80/0, 80/80/10 common/rare/super samples

I genuinely have no reason to disbelieve them when they said it was only disabled for stability issue temporarily, considering all the stability issues they had when the servers were on fire.

nexus6 posted:People saying they get loads of super credits but no medals sound like they're playing a totally different game. I play mostly 7s with friends, about an hour or two a day, and over the past week I've earned about 60 super credits and about 110 medals. Are people ignoring major/personal orders and playing 3s or something? SC only spawn in POIs. Unless your group is actively exploring them you're not gonna get a lot of SC. Some people do just play the lower difficulties to farm SC, it's pretty easy to do solo and you can test out weapons/strategems you barely use.

Twibbit posted:Hope though that this may lead to cross progression happening at some point so I can play from the couch without having to reunlock absolutely everything From what I've read, cross-progression was the main reason why a PSN account would be "required" before it got shuffled on the wayside thanks to the servers being utterly crushed.

I'm not personally going to get too worked up about the PSN thing, but people can tell when they're being made to jump through hoops to satisfy some kind of crass desire to push user numbers or whatever Sony's rationale is, and it's predictable that people find it annoying.

This reminds me, last night my team were running a 7 and hit a Titan with a couple of 500KGs and it froze like they are want to do when they're dead. It stood that way for around 30 seconds but instead of sinking into the ground like it should have, that motherfucker unfroze and started walking around again.

I actually left my original negative review of the game back when it first released (before people here convinced me it was optional) because of the PSN requirement. Not because it required another account (which was annoying) but because it required another account it wouldn't let me actually make. I do wonder how much of the kickback is less about needing to make a PSN account and more about people being frustrated about the process of doing so being (sporadically, for some people) so lovely. If you could create a PSN account through the game and it reliably worked it would probably be a non issue, but the more annoying and frustrating the process is the more people are gonna get angry about it online, and PSN hookup has the worst of all worlds situation where it's *variably* frustrating. Normal account creation you can gripe about and people can sympathize or tell you workarounds or whatever, but everyone has dealt with it. Complain about this and you get people saying you're lying, that you're dumb, mocking you, etc because they didn't have any issues, which only enflames the issue. Of course you also have the perpetually angry folks looking for an excuse and the bandwagon jumpers and stuff...

I'm finally going back and trying to master the Autocannon with bugs and have found some issues: Charger: face\legs can deflect the shot. Aiming at the ground doesn't seem to make enough impact to even slow them down. I've tried shooting their butts but have also found ricocheting shots. What am I doing wrong? Bile Titan: I'm used to aiming the Queso right at its face so that's what I tried with the AC but either the shots deflected or appeared to do no damage. Tried shooting the butt a bunch but also found some shots deflecting and not doing meaningful damage. What am I doing wrong with the AC that bugs seem to neglect its potential? I've had no issues with anything else like this.

This really sucks for a lot of people. I've played with a bunch of randoms from the Philippines and they were all super awesome players. Like one guy last night was calling out all his orbitals on voice comms letting us know what he was doing and when he needed help, really cool guy.

This is a perfectly valid concern. The problem is that right now it seems like everyone is directing their ire at Arrowhead instead of Sony, who are responsible for the lovely account creation problems as well as requiring it in the first place. As the publisher, Sony likely would've been responsible for releasing it in all regions, including ones where PSN is blocked, as well.

You have to aim low on charger backs because the top is still armored. The AC can only really pop the bile sacs on titans, which does damage but after that you can’t hurt it I think. Maybe if you get directly under and shoot up after the sacs are destroyed you can but I’ve never tried.
