I have the same amount of TKs as my friend who has over double my playtime and only one of them was intentional. Eagle Cluster Bombs sometimes just reach out and give people smooches  That being said my friend has probably teamkilled me and herself like six times by accidentally handing me a contact nade. I'm like 20 hours deep on this poo poo and it's such fun. It reminds me of that old game from the 00s, Mercenaries. All it's missing (besides stuff that's already on the roadmap) is some ally NPCs to make the battles feel a little more epic imo.

Tom Tucker posted:Friendship with Autocannon over, Expendable Anti-Tank is new best friend. Yeah I like using the EAT for bugs, but the Autocannon for bots because I'm too lazy to deal with Striders and Devastators any other way Kly posted:are the dailies the same for everyone? i had a kill 100 guys with eagle strafing run and its really bad. drop it in a pile of bugs and it killed 8 I had that one yesterday. It's easy since the Strafing Run has a short cooldown and a lot of charges, so you can spam the hell out of it. Eagle stuff's overall cooldown doesn't start until the fighter rearms though so if you have multiple Eagle airstrikes equipped you won't get your charges back until either you order it to rearm or you spend all your charges on every airstrike. IMO the Strafing Run isn't that great compared to the Cluster Bomb or Napalm but at least it's hard to TK people with! Chillgamesh fucked around with this message at 04:31 on Mar 6, 2024 |

I played a quick game on 5 versus bots with heavy armor to test out some of the stuff that got changed. The 380mm definitely still sucks, but the Laser Cannon and Punisher feel pretty good. Heavy Armor definitely takes way less damage on individual hits, but you run out of stamina so fast you can't escape anything compared to the near-infinite sprint light armor gives you. The Laser Cannon in particular stood out because it seems to do appreciable damage on body shots to Devastators. Not 100% sure on this, and you definitely still want to headshot them regardless. The extra ammo on the Punisher definitely helps out a lot too.

All I know is the devs explicitly called out my favorite weapon (the Autocannon) by name as balanced and fair so I know they consider me a skilled gamer in their eyes

Diephoon posted:The Autocannon feels great when it works. When it ricochets it feels bad. When it ricochets and kills you it feels awful. I never really had any problems with bouncing shots against anything lighter than an Annihilator but I don't run it at all against bugs, I just use the EAT there. Will probably try the Flamethrower and Arc Cannon next time I play a bug mission

The Laser Cannon fries weak points, it's just that Berserkers are massive blobs of HP. I just watched a guy blow up a cannon tower turret from the other side of the map in one short burst to its weak point, and you can pop heads pretty easily with it. My mech trip report is that it loving whips when it doesn't randomly short-circuit and explode completely unprovoked. I was judiciously avoiding firing rockets while moving and still exploded while chasing down some bots with a minigun burst on the move

I have awoken to the flamethrower against bugs. Running Punisher / Standard Frags / Eagle Airstrike / Eagle 500kg / Flamethrower / Shield Generator Pack with medium medic armor against them atm, might switch out Airstrike for the Patriot after the free one goes away. Playing on diff 7, and the flamethrower toasts chargers and spewers and versus swarms of small bugs you can lean on your shield to take advantage of the flamethrower's DPS but lack of stagger. Plus, the medic armor gives you a couple extra stims for when you inevitably set yourself on fire  Now if only I could find a bot build I really liked.

You know how sometimes those little smoke plants will pop and apply a shitload more physics force to you than usual? Last night I was playing and a devastator rocket popped a bunch of smoke plants I was sitting next to and for some reason it launched me directly upwards into heaven, ragdolling the whole way up. I did not survive the fall

Played a tower defense mission and people not knowing what to do made it last forever and then my game crashed after we defended the 3rd tower. I have to say I can't actually complain about the game mode though because you literally just get to obliterate wave after wave of bugs and its quite satisfying. Chargers are an absolute joke now

Tower defense missions are pure chaos and I love them. Went back to using the EAT since Chargers get chumped by them and ended up having more kills than all three of my teammates put together because of the laserdog/slugger/gat turret combo I was also running. Bile Titans are kind of a problem though, I can't seem to kill them very reliably by myself while running Eagle Airstrike and the EAT. I can't tell if I'm just missing their headshot hitbox or if they're actually tanky enough to soak 2-3 EAT headshots

Finally got the Sickle, and while I think the Slugger might be technically better, this gun certainly feels great. Also feels very Starship Troopers-y when all four players have it and are hosing down some heavily armored bug that refuses to die.

If everyone brings the expendable you can have so many of the things lying around you can just spend them on crap that doesn't even need it like Brood Commanders or Bile Spewers. If you get unlucky with Titan spawns and get loads of them at once, it can get hairy, but I usually don't have any trouble managing Titans and hordes with just the regular Eagle Airstrike and contact nades plus my Slugger/Sickle. For objectives and extraction you just call in a Patriot and mop the floor with however many bugs the game decides to throw at you.

thotsky posted:The people who make the game should be able to change it so that it is no longer possible to obtain large amounts of super credits quicker than intended. That they have not is puzzling. They're probably more concerned with bugfixing and stability than people grinding for creds. They probably want to scrap it but to be honest it's not fun and it's barely more funbucks/hr than working a minimum wage job and then spending it all on the game

Away all Goats posted:Stun grenades are a little too good. The stun lasts forever and the area is big enough you can easily catch an entire bot drop(sometimes two) in a single grenade. A contact nade could have just killed them all. Stun Grenades rock but their only real advantage is being able to stun stuff like Hulks, Chargers, and BTs. Giving up being able to nuke trash, spewers, and spawn holes/bot factories is a fair tradeoff.

Section Z posted:"The liberator of the shotgun world" loving ouch. The Punisher is good, the Breaker is also still good despite the early nerf. It's just that the Slugger was just as lethal as the Punisher from the hip at close range, but could reach out and touch an enemy at long range and also stagger them with body shots at any range besides. It wouldn't have been possible to balance the Dominator, Dilligence, Punisher, and Breaker against it, so rather than nerfing its damage or precision they just nerfed its stagger.
