Thumbtacks posted:is there a hypothetical scenario where we get pushed all the way to earth? really curious what that battlefield would look like this defeatism!  I dunno if it's related to server stuff or what, but when we'd take down a dropship tonight, the flying model would disappear, and a crashed/grounded model would sort of fly in from the side at ground level to park itself where the dropship would have crashed. Seemed real janky. Had a friend of a friend get so mad at his buddy for dropping yet another dropship on him he rage quit This game is not the kind you can get mad about bullshit happening to you, whether that's player or game bullshit. You're gonna have a bad time, it's too frantic

Don't be like me, and save up your medals because you're indecisive, only to hit an arbitrary cap that the UI never actually warns you about. Probably missed most of the medals from Veld because of it

Darox posted:Blowing up bot bases is fun, fighting bug nests is a chore. Orbital lasers will kill factories just like that, but only rarely will they close a hole. Also chargers need to die a whole lot faster to OLs, it basically took the entire charge to kill two. That’s bullshit

Phenotype posted:I dunno how much my opinion is worth since I've never played anything higher than 7, but I'm a little bummed about the changes to Chargers. I kinda liked the minigame you had to play with stripping the armor off the leg with targeted shots, and I thought it was a really ballsy move to make them so resistant to damage otherwise, even on the apparent weakspot, felt like the devs weren't shying away from making specific demands of you. Feels a lot dumber of an enemy if you can just kill it with a headshot. I had a really good game last night where we were getting lots of charger and titan spawns and my team was just doing such a great job handling them as they came, woulda felt a lot less exhilarating if we were just blasting them in the face like every other bug. My beef with the charger minigame was that I couldn't do much as an observer to a charge. as in my teammate is getting it face on, and I am perpendicular, well good luck Jimmy, I can't actually pen with my autocannon

I wonder if there's a "plan" if we don't actually complete all 4 in time (i'm sure we will, given that a weekend is coming up, but then again, the servers sometimes catch fire on the weekends...*) Or will they just push them through? * New warbond is also launching tomorrow, which, given that I couldn't play at all the day a new stratagem launched, gives one pause. Maybe I should buy credits early

i run the railgun (in unsafe) against the bots, and it's really effective against devastators, hulks and striders. I'm pretty stymied with it by tanks and turrets, but  I never bring it against bugs though

Mesadoram posted:My favorite thing about the Qusar is if I miss, I just need to gently caress around for a few seconds till it is back. Is it going to replace my rampant EAT usage? Probably not, but it is a good alternative. seems like it would be good for the maps that have the Ion storm that blocks stratagems, that would be pretty rough not being able to get any EATs down... My current theory is that the automatons are going to cede their current sectors and loop Galactic North in the frontier and retake cyberstan from outside the "map"

my experience with transitioning to the bots is also way more things that make Strategems less effective. From doubling deploy times, which means it's a lot harder to land an eagle strike, to dropping a slot, to landing right next to the stratagem blocker I was pretty consistent on lvl 7 for bugs, have spent most of my time on lvl 6 for bots

Joel noticed we weren't going to get anywhere close to completing the order with the regen set where it was on Maia, and we're back to a Maybe Completing The Order (though, the weekend skews it a lot, to the point maybe we'll pull it off)

turn off the TV posted:For some reason they changed the artillery shell models to all be different color variations of the same model in one of the recent patches. Mininukes are black now. some military nerd probably complained that the napalm and static field shells were sabot shell models, i.e. were meant for direct armor piercing, not containing Stuff (I think they should have left the static field shell the sabot model)

Black Noise posted:Do it with the 50% chance to survive armor for an achievement maybe i've survived an overcharged rail gun exploding in my face a few times because of the democracy armor I still run the railgun, honestly compared the other options, they should just dump the unsafe mode, let me waste a round or something if i overcharge. I have to be so precise to deal real damage, that's the real limiter on it

Dren posted:Railgun occupies a dumb spot where it’s garbo unless used in unsafe mode which exposes you to risk of death due to being attacked during charge time or overcharging and even then it’s significantly worse than EAT and Quasar at killing big stuff and way worse than flamethrower and arc at killing trash. oh that reminds me, if i get smacked while charging my rail shot, i waste it, because letting go of the trigger fires it, with the quasar charge, if i let go i can just go right back to trying to make the shot!

novaSphere posted:What I'm saying is like, you know how you get Personal Order credit for kills with poo poo like AP Mines or the AMR even when they're not your kills? I think it's doing that for Terminid kills in general. Hypothetically, if P1 gets 200 kills and P2 gets 150 kills, the game could be considering both players to have gotten 350 kills each and is incrementing the MO tally by 700. If this is the case, we're "only" moving at a max of quadruple speed, so we'd easily complete it under correct mathing. Sidenote, doesn't matter here, but Personal Orders don't count your teammate kills if they do not currently have the order. Which was a problem when i joined my friends after they already had the 75 mortar kills

Ravenfood posted:I think there would be room for a weapon that was like a faster firing Quasar that didn't oneshot but did aggressively strip armor, especially if it had small AoE. laser autocannon,  Also, i find it a little disingenuous to describe RR/EAT/Queso as being one shots on chargers, since if you don't have an angle on the head, you can't do poo poo, also, they y'know, move, so I've definitely shot uselessly into their shoulders as they have charged at me. It's not a Railcannon delete button, is what i am saying
