What a horrible thread to have a post.
I knew Hidden Compartment was going to be good. BTW Legion's Close Range shot has a higher range than you think and is basically a Big Ole' Shotgun. So not only is he a pocket Northstar, he's a fuckin' pocket Ronin too!

I asked FrothyOmen about it on his stream last night and he said it's still God-tiet and should still remained banned in comp. There was really no noticeable difference.

That makes sense. I will say that it performs noticeably poorer at long range, but it's lack of recoil and strong up close power make it really good. I use stim and Volt hipfire to compensate for being a console peasant who can't parkour like a god tho. :negative:

Hidden Compartment owns and is really fun. Legion isn't my favorite Titan but he's the one I'm best at.

It's like they took heavy weapons guy, gave him a cooldown based force of nature / huntsman. Then gave it two charges that can be used super fast.

WHAT COULD GO WRONG!

See you can use phase shift like that and its fun sometimes, but ultimately you got really lucky in this scenario. You choose to dive into enemies, and if anyone saw your trail they'll be waiting for you, and you will have to come out of the phase dimension blind to their positions. It can work like this sometimes but its a gamble. I'm assuming this was on console.

I mean its titanfall play whatever is fun and good. Most players are bad and blind its why cloak is so good.

Unlocking weapons with the token system is hard because they're expensive, but Titans are cheap and are all viable, so if you like one of the unlockable ones in particular you can grab it and not feel bad. It's not a terrible grind to unlock every weapon so don't sweat it if the gun you want is higher level. If you only unlock one gun early though, pick the Volt or R-97.

I wouldn't recommend using any credits on weapons. Save until you can get low profile. It's the single best purchase you can make with creds

Low Profile should probably have the rodeo delay notification reduced by a lot.

It would still be very good - no jump jets when cloaked, allows you to run silently, allows you to climb on a Titan without audio cues...still a good pick, but not the overwhelmingly best one.

I'd really like to see some PC footage of this, because it has literally never happened on console. If you don't shift in front of people they're not looking for sparkles, they're looking for the orange dudes.

Agreed, I've been trying to find something new now that cloak is nerfed. I've tried the shield and while everyone seems to say phase shift is good, no one has been able to tell me how to actually use it effectively.

It's a reactive skill that rewards good map awareness and reaction speed. If you don't have either of those things take one of the more active skills like stim or pulse blade.

Sure but with the quick TTK in this game and the fact that your guy has to bang his watch to trigger it, I'm hoping there are more tips out there besides, "As soon as you hear gun fire, hit it."

Does anyone else think Amped Hardpoint matches go by way too quickly? I usually go for the "Capture the Point" modes in multiplayer to get long matches with relatively low dependency on team mates to win the objectives. Also I hate having AI units!!

It comes down to playstlye. What you just said is partially correct, but not entirely.

Ttk is low, but perfect accuracy only happens for cheaters (edit: and smart core, which coincidentally feels like cheating). Ttk against a wall running / movement expert is exponentially higher than against a immobile player.

If you are good at the movement system and know the maps well enough to know where you are likely being shot at from, Phase Shift acts as a real time "do over"

I'm also in here to find out about phase shift, and I got some good advice here yesterday, but I'm also finding out that some people see a sparkle trail when enemies phase shift. So I'm trying to find out, is there a particle setting on the PC that might affect being able to see this? Does the trail happen while I'm traversing while shifted, or only after I shift back?

People were telling me yesterday that you can cook grenades while shifted. I only use arc grenades, but you can start the throw just before you shift back so the 'nade goes out first thing and gets the stun as the first part of your (hopefully) ambush.

Getting the 50 executions for the new Phase Shift execution is pretty hard. Even harder when your teammates keep killing the guys you sneak up on (because you did it to them when they were they were trying to get executions) :suicide:

Some of this may seem obvious. When you know, or think you have a high probability of significant damage, you can phase shift to deny that opportunity.

For instance:
  • Enemy titan is nuke ejecting and you can't get away.
  • You've just ejected and you think someone will try to goose you.
  • Escaping scorch thermite in close quarters
  • Escaping a grav star
  • You just grabbed a battery from a giant, pissed off robot.
  • Save a kill trade: does it look like you're going to kill your first target and die immediately afterward to his numerous buddies? Try to judge when you've shot just enough to get your kill and then immediately activate or even preactivate phase shift so you can escape, instead of trading.

Also good for:
  • Flagrunning, it works, you keep the flag. It used to not work, no one used phase shift, so RSPN changed it, so this is probably here to stay.
  • Running out of ammo at a bad time
  • Ensuring you safely get into your titan

Edit: I also want to see if you could make use of pre-ramping the Devotion up while phased and pop out at full tilt. I honestly don't know if you can even shoot your gun while phased, but if you can you might be able to use it as a funny way to peek a corner.

You can totally shoot your gun while phased. You can also see other people who are phased at the same time, including Ronin. I believe you can kill them in phase land as well but I've never gotten the chance to try. You can shoot your gun and throw grenades while in phase land, but they stay in phase land. You can also start cooking a grenade and still be holding it when you come out of phase land, so I don't see why you couldn't spin up your gun while phased to hail bullets down when you come out.

No, 2-3-2 or whatever is cooler, in being a giant "EAT poo poo, rear end in a top hat"-type execution rather than the detached 2cool4u thing that grand theft is.

2-3-2 is :black101:

That you can phase with the flag is new to me and may be more interesting than just stimming by a long shot. We had a win become a draw the other night when a titan killed our guy at the cap point and as I grabbed the flag, I wall ran into the rail and rather than hop it, I got stuck on a box next to it hung up in the air and got killed.
