back to jetpack/flamethrower now that it's been buffed. been having a lot of fun with arc thrower too, being able to 3-shot all of the mid-sized robots and the scout walker has been super useful

I'm currently trying to decide if I want to spend my medals to try and finish these bonds off quickly or if I want to save for the new ones next week

shooting the charger front legs to kill it is weird, yeah. it's too... gamey? It legit feels like it takes longer to kill it when shooting at it's gigantic exposed guts when you open it up from the side.

I have faith that they'll buff the senator (so that it does the flippy spinny draw more often)

they have made posts saying they think the other guns are good and where they should be, which is odd.

some of it I get, since each gun has way more stats than what is displayed on-screen and some of them do more damage than you'd think in specific situations (like the burst-fire med-pen gun that I forget the name of, it shreds when hitting weak points), but I can't imagine anyone's actually happy with the Scythe. Oh sick if I'm careful I have infinite ammo so I can continue to not kill anything, forever

they'd have to make the jetpack single use or something to pry it out of my cold, dead hands, you can have your shield generators or your supplies or whatever

it's me I'm horde-clearing stratagem guy.

I kind of wish the gatling orbital had a little bit of tracking like the laser does, I think that would help it shine over the air-burst a bit. Also, the eagle strafing run either needs more uses or more shots, it's not as accurate as you'd hope it would be for something that won't kill medium armor.

you what we need for chargers? give me a little C4 grenade. something with high armor pen but maybe you only get two or something. I can think of a lot of uses for remote detonated C4 actually

I would love a droppable C4 brick, so I could run those and the jetpack and relive my days of being a C4 fairy in Planetside 2

I like the senator when I'm using a primary I don't think I'll need to be switching a lot (because it's got good ammo/fast reloads). It's nice when I need to deal with a hive guard or a couple of warriors and I can just whip it out and unload on something. Also, sniping robots in the head. It kills anything short of a brute in a single shot if you're good.

But yes, the first game had a sword (in the special roguelike dungeon mode) and it had a bike with a sidecar, which would be hilarious in this one.

My main takeaway from all this is rip to anyone that the website decides "go gently caress yourself".

also rip anyone from any territory like all of africa , the baltics, or the phillipines where you don’t have psn support. More than one person I play with frequently is basically getting banned because of this, that’s why I’m mad about it, for them. I hope they get all the negative reviews necessary to rethink this, but I know they won’t lol.

but yeah having to make an otherwise useless psn account is stupid and all that but it’s not actually difficult or time consuming. I just had to do it the other day for Rise of the Ronin. Still dumb as hell and if it keeps letting people play who are about to lose access, gently caress it review bomb away.

if it even impacted just one, that’s enough for me, but the philipines is actually a pretty nice little market they’re about to ban. It’s not big, but it’s not nothing. The system is fine how it is, optional.

yeah the app is the way to go, which sadly means another useless app on your phone tho lol

What do you want people to do, fly to japan and picket their office? email their representative??? making a psn account, again only an option for people who actually can, is super easy but you can’t get over the terrible hurdle of Not Reading A Steam Review?

They could simply act like normal human beings and voice reasonable concerns about access to the game in certain regions without freaking the gently caress out about the game being 'stolen' from them or getting hysterical about Sony/Arrowhead 'lying' to them or claiming this a bait and switch or something ridiculous or act like making a PSN account is a herculean task

oh yeah I’m sure politely reasoning with the billion dollar corporation will work this time. Wouldn’t want to hurt their feelings lmao

psn has a lot of problems and downtime issues but making a psn account right this moment is going to be a bigger pain in the rear end than usual because a ton of people are doing it. You’ll have better luck in a few hours

EATs are easily in the running for the best support weapons in the game and they always have been, even before they one-shot chargers. People see "disposable" and think "oh I only get one at a time??" but you actually get two, and the cooldown is only 70 seconds by default so you can just pump them out constantly, and since you don't need a backpack to take advantage of having so many shots like the regular recoilless, you can bring other fun stuff like guard dogs or jetpacks.

EATs rock

I wish the anti-tank mines won the community thing, though I knew there was no chance in hell. Even if they didn't do the usual arrowhead thing and push out a barely functional Airburst too early, I still think the AT mines would have been way more useful. Never stood a chance being locked behind the fire tornado planet, even outside of the other option being a giant rocket launcher.

Why can't it be both this and a legitimate complaint. They are not mutually exclusive.

if you don't politely and calmly express your point of view via the approved channels at the appropriate time, then it means you're evil

even if you do, if you're on the same side as someone who is loud and annoying, you are exactly the same as them and can be disregarded as well

it actually doesn't affect me since I had to recently make a PSN account for some other game, but I've got friends who really enjoy playing this game who are likely going to be locked out soon for no reason, so as much as it pains to be on the same side as a bunch of hyperbolic weenies that I don't care about, never heard of, or read the opinions of anyway I'm still gonna have to say Sony sucks for this.

I mean, I hate it all. Having to have multiple accounts to play a game due to having to log in via Steam then uplay/origin/epic/whatever

Yeah everyone's like "what's one more service you have to sign up for" as if they haven't been saying that exact thing every time another one rolls out. How many times is "one more". At least for PSN we don't have to worry about the service dying in a decade like Origin and Uplay hopefully lol

LazyMaybe posted:

found the problem

nade launcher em or blast their head with JAR or something else high AP

yeah my go to has been concussion grenades or just jetpacking away and letting someone else deal with it lol. There are so many on higher difficulties though. Strafing run's good for them too, but it feels like every patch it gets worse; I can count on more than one hand the amount of times I've seen the run go directly over a big pod of spewers and not kill a single one, when it used to annihilate things.

When (if...) they ever fix the DoT issue for non-hosts, the napalm will probably be pretty good for stuff like that.

It's a fantastic gun. They added full auto to the penetrator but the mag size is too small for that to be fun using. At least you get a lot of magazines with it.
