I hope they add someone with Heartbeat monitor in who doesn't use a Sniper Rifle. It's useful, but gently caress the Rifle.

Horizontal Tree posted:list of mercs Most of the unreleased mercs were available in earlier versions of the beta that I'm pretty sure weren't under NDA: -Phoenix had a lovely aoe healing pulse with a 15 second cooldown that made him absolute poo poo at healing and had the ability to revive himself. smg/medium -Sparks had a long range revive gun, IIRC you charged it up and then shot at a corpse to get him up with infinite range, also did a shitton of damage if you hit an enemy with it. I wanna say the revive gun wasn't an ability but a primary weapon and that she was a light. -Stoker used to have a incendiary grenade that did what you would expect and also had the bullet station deployable Kira has now. AR/medium -Thunder had concussion grenades and an LMG that was significantly worse than the one fragger has. Basically a worse fragger with the upside that you couldn't get gibbed by grenades or the basic sniper rifle in 1 hit because you had 160 health. LMG/heavy -Red Eye had a smoke grenade and thermal vision that I'm pretty sure only let him see through smoke, not walls. He had a rifle that was like the dreiss, except it had crazy high spread and recoil if you spammed with it but would gib on headshot kills. sniper/medium -Phantom could cloak and had a katana. Wanna say he used to have a sniper an eternity ago but eventually the katana became his primary. Apparently there was/is a way you could start a local server with the open beta build of the game that let you choose mercs that aren't publically available yet. It let people play with Turtle, who apparently deploys walls or something and a completely unannounced merc called Lancer, who is an assault merc with a panzerfaust-style rocket launcher.

AlmightyPants posted:I tried this out the other day and it seems like a Splash Damage game, but I'm concerned by the possible pay to win aspect. Are higher tier character variants significantly better? There is no pay to win aspect. At all. You can buy the effective top tier of loadout cards of your choice in-game at any time for 17,500 credits. Sounds pricy but you're skipping the entire RNG of cases and crafting in order to choose your card. Silver, Gold, and Cobalt cards are 100% identical to Bronze cards in effectiveness, but have character skins on them. Nothing else. Also thats cool to know about the unreleased Mercs. I knew some were in earlier in beta but removed for the overall game rebalance, and its nice to confirm that they're working on mercs outside the 20 I listed.

I wish Objective maps had more stuff to them. ET:RtCW and ET:QW had a ton of side objectives for each side that would hinder the enemy team or make it easier to do their objective along with things like forward spawns. In DirtyBomb there seems to be at most one side objective

The maps are a lot smaller than ET though. Generally there's only a few paths to the objective and blocking one off is a big deal, if there was too many it'd be way too easy to sneak around the defenders and complete objectives on the sly.

watho posted:All of the purchasable loadouts have seemed really underwhelming to me. Loadouts really don't do enough to justify their existence, the perks are minor enough to be irrelevant for everyone except medics. As long as your loadout card has the primary and secondary weapons you want, the perks are just a nice side bonus. Bronze is only marginally better than lead or iron in most cases.

Played a bit of this, just hit level 5, but jesus christ is it painful when your team seems to of never played a FPS before in their lives. Had a guy sat on the turret right next to the objective facing away from it, the enemy planted the C4 on the objective literally right behind him, he continued to look at nothing in particular (Since the enemy team had very loudly and obviously taken the other route to the objective) as the game told him the enemy had planted C4 and then remain doing so until someone eventually walked over and knifed him.

There's Snipers who'll drop their incredibly useful Sensor but they ain't ever on my loving team. Pubbies are the worst. On the flipside, Proxy is fun as hell and nothing seems to annoy pubbies more than getting killed over and over by Prox Mines hidden round corners or on stairs.

His KEK-10 SMG is super powerful, and if you're using him as an objective class like he's supposed to be, the turret is amazing for covering your rear end when pubbies won't.

Based on how successful I was earlier despite being very off my game, with the first run with that Cobalt Proxy loadout I posted on the last page, I have a feeling that after a good nights sleep I'm going to be able to do wonderful, salt-inducing things with it. Very fun class. I really need to get used to using mines well though.

Her Shotgun really is fantastic it feels like it has a lot more range and fire rate to it than Aura's but packs less punch. If you need some quick damage in a fight you can shoot your own mines to set them off, don't have to wait for them to activate. I've gotten quite a few people by dropping a mine as I'm running and then spinning to shoot it. Fans fucked around with this message at 08:24 on Jun 10, 2015 |

This game is kinda fun, a bit frustrating on certain maps, but otherwise it's alright. Definitely like Aura alot. It's funny hiding during firefights and just rezzing all your teammates every time they go down. The fast movement speed and combined with blasting fools with a shotgun make it pretty fun as well. If you guys want, feel free to use this Mumble server to coordinate pubstomps: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3715171 I'll make a channel for this game when I get back from work today.

Played a couple of nice matchmaking games with Waters, Mivko, and Tree last night. Got my rear end roundly kicked in both of them, even the game where I won I ended up on the bottom of the scoreboard. A rude awakening considering I generally top scoreboards in pub matches.

No he didn't even spectate, he was just hilariously garbage at the game and got quickscoped a lot. He basically stood still and took it, and had bad aim. Apparantly its impossible to snipe a skyhammer while hes shooting back though

Turret is so much better than mines for actually trying to win They've already announced that Bushwhacker is in for a bit of a nerf though, so it's not super important. I like Proxy's speed and shotgun myself, the mines are there to stop people chasing me thoughtlessly. Play them like a TF2 scout and it's pretty fun. Then again I'm biased, slow classes drive me nuts. Kia, Aura, Proxy is my usual team and I'm keen on picking up Nader to replace Kia when I can.

Also could the devs implement a feature that makes loud airhorns, klaxxons and flashing lights blare out over downed allies when you ignore a bunch of them in a row when you're a medic with a loving instant revive button with no cooldown or downsides to you. Because man it's starting to get really annoying how people somehow can't see people bleeding out right in front of them and will instead dance on their corpse and die to whatever killed them, even when they could've super easily revived them with no danger to themselves.

Most medics I see are Sawbones who don't res but just use the kits to heal themselves. Pairing Aura up with Fragger or Rhino is basically a free win against pubbies. They cannot cope with the healing aura deployable at all.

Also add to the tutorial SHOOT/BLOW UP THE loving AURA STATION DIPSHIT because people just sacrificing themselves over and over again to the meatgrinder without shooting the stupid heal station is also pretty ridiculous. Also Also change the Tutorial slightly because I didn't actually know Skyhammer could use his markers as 'nades with reduced cooldown until a loading screen tip told me because the Tutorial made it sound like Airstrike markers were just useless indoors, but I may just be dumb.

The Tutorial really should have had some parkour in it too, I swear I'm the only person who can do the Long Jump on the Underground Station map to save the last objective quickly. That and a "You run faster with a knife" moment, because every time I see people running to the front with their main weapons out I die a little inside.
