Back to back to back now; bot mission, I'm carrying most of the samples, I'm trying to enter the pelican, I am suddenly blasted off the edge of the map and the other dudes extract with no samples. I just wanted the regular samples. I like fighting bots except for surprise rocket bullshit. I'll take 'pubbie with a mortar sentry for bugs' because at least I can yell at that guy.

I just a strategem to exfiltrate samples mid match. Drop me down a light payload single launch sample rocket. Or let me cash out rares for regulars, I'm fuckin' drowning in them. I'm getting a little bored slumming in tier 4 blitz drops just grabbing (regular) samples and saving pubbies.

Just exited my (level 21) first 7/Suicide game. I got a trio of identically armored level 50 dudes that joined me. I had a personal mission to kill 2 bile titans. I lost count around number 15. Mission timer ran out just as we hit exfil, and around the 60 second mark I'm the last guy standing with an active titan and no more EATs or GL ammo except for one Sickle pack, no stims, just a shield pack and stealth armor and a willingness to kite as hard as I can for the next minute. Dive between the legs of a titan to hit the pelican ramp with a charger on my heels, shoving aside lesser bugs like it's Black Friday at Walmart while grabbing all the dropped samples and making it back to space. Then the game freezes. I walk away to yell at things, and like 5 minutes later it actually loads into my ship. Game is fun, game is hard, game is buggy.

Had one mission left in my chain of level 7s on Fori prime that I tried to complete last night twice but kept getting kicked during extraction. So I figured I'd bang my head against that wall over my lunch break. Wound up soloing it, despite popping an SOS right at drop. Map was absolute bitch with a massive impassible plateau bisecting the deployment zone with only one pass in the far Northwest, while one sub objective is in the far Southeast, the primary on the other side of the plateau in the Northeast, and then extraction back in the Southeast. I got to extraction with 3 minutes left, and 0 deaths, then burned through all my clones trying to survive the extraction swarm for another 4 loving minutes but made it out with no samples and the lowest Req/XP I can remember seeing. I unlocked Impossible, so I guess there's that. gently caress Fori prime, I hope we blow it up. Sickle, contact grenades, shield pack, EAT, 500k, orbital laser. For the record.

Every operation on Hellmire has some kind of Stratagem time increase malus for me, and I'd rather lose an entire quadrant than deal with more of that bullshit. Scottish Highlands: The Planet doesn't aggravate me near as much.

Is there some kind of level farming trick I'm missing? Because over my lunch break now I did a mission and got 3 randos all at level 50 (I'm 23 presently) and I ended the match with 12 team kills because they would. not. stop. running into my gas strikes. And I'm not chucking them into close combat, I'm trying to plug terrain funnels and breaches and these Leroy motherfuckers just keep barreling straight into the still visible gas clouds to... I have no idea. They also refused to use any kind of comms, and I guess had me on mute and didn't speak English because warning them about gas didn't do any good. Does it completely disappear if you turn particles all the way down or something? How do you get that far in the game and not understand the mechanics of gas strikes?

They were definitely dying to the gas. I could see them enter the cloud, and their health bar start dropping, and I even just because it was so confusing ran in once myself and yep you get the coughing audio cue that you're dying from gas. I wish they at least yelled at me or something so I knew what the problem was. Or why charging into breaches point blank with shotguns was so important. Or running down the cliff from extract into the cloud to shoot closer. ... Maybe an extremely low render distance so they felt the need to get up close ALL the time, combined with utterly suicidal aggression?

Broken Record Talk posted:Anyone else finding it incredibly difficult to find pugs that give a poo poo about sample collection? I’m pretty well stocked on everything but ship unlocks, and for the life of me I cannot find a game with pugs that doesn’t result in a maximum of like 5 samples and a ton of frustration. Any time I’ve focused on getting them, I inevitably either get killed at the outskirts of the map and can’t make it back to the pile in time, or get friendly-fired right as the shuttle is about to depart.

ChaseSP posted:Spear is a janky piece of poo poo from all my experience trying to use it against bugs, and the RR is generally enough to kill everything barring tanks in a single shot when talking about bots.

It can kill them from across the map regardless of whether or not you can see the vents.

Had a mission last night that was pitch black running through a forest during driving rain. Literally couldn't see poo poo more than 5 meters away. Every stratagem was a brief illumination, punctuated by laser fire. The mission started out like a regular night, and the weather just kept getting worse and visibility kept getting worse, and it lasted that way for ~30 of the 40 minutes of the mission. We took out the last objective and dawn broke and the weather cleared and we could actually see as we ran for extraction. It was an awesome experience, but not necessarily one I want to do again any time soon.

Had a wild drop on a bot mission last night. Host apparently picked the middle of a medium outpost, but we managed to put a hellpod through each factory (and survive, which was just as surprising). Freedoms here you commie computers!

Risky Bisquick posted:You know what also kills stuff without being in range of retaliation? The spear. Like gently caress it does. I spent at least 3 days trying it out every drop, and it consistently inexplicably refused to lock towers, tanks, hulks, radars, factories, chargers, titans, spores but would lock and stay locked on jetpack and hunters. loving piece of suit is bugged for me. If there's a trick , share with the class please.

So apologies to those three games where basically all I did was drop a weapon, waste a booster, and delay the arrival of someone that can actually help. The 4th mission I sucked as well, but organically.

Gin_Rummy posted:Is deliberate team killing a problem I also think one time I accidentally signaled I wanted to gently caress around at extraction time, one of those times where there's 30 seconds and you're on top of a hill and gently caress all nothing is coming and you're just twiddling your thumbs. I will admit to once killing someone on purpose. They were rushing extraction, they weren't the host, we had plenty of time and tickets, they weren't responding to voice or text chat, we had divers far out enough they wouldn't make it back in time, I could see the pelican touch down and they were running for the ramp and I hit them with an autocannon and let the far out team reinforce him. Grabbed his samples and waited crouched until they were close and dove in, which was the right call because the fucker tried to EAT me.

Quasar is the new Railgun. I hate it. It's too versatile in the exact same way that made the Railgun a boring weapon. I'm not saying it needs to be made as worthless as the railgun is now, and I hope they correct that, but it'd be better than it is now. I also don't begrudge it a first pass like this, or frankly the novelty of a new weapon being a smidgen OP. Just don't leave it like this. In other news, the Spear still sucks poo poo, and Chort(le my balls) is a fun planet. edit: I think I found a new bug, in that I was messing with HUD settings last night, and now I can't get the game to show me sample count during missions. I had to drop samples and pick them back up and ask people to watch the count change to tell what I was carrying. Which was kind of important as we had less than 5 minutes to extract, 0 tickets, and I was the last one standing with what I thought was the sample beacon with the super rares.

Eruptor is my new favorite gun, and completely obviates the grenade launcher on bug missions. It closes holes more reliably from further away, and clears eggs twice as thoroughly as well. Stalwart as my 'side arm', Orbital Walking Barrage, 110HE, and 380HE. Just a deligthful romp through bug planets, loving up their hives and dipping out with Scout armor.

Any jetpack mains have some sage advice on how to make it useful? I've been playing with it this week, and it's just not clicking with me. Can't seem to reliably make it over gorges, barely makes a difference in scaling heights, the only thing I'm really getting out of it is fall arrest and even then I'm flubbing that one some of the time.

Game's more than a bit jankier in a lot of little ways for me post-patch. Audio cuing glitches that weren't there before. Stuttering during loading that I've never seen before. And either I've gotten incredibly unlucky in the last half hour, but I'm seeing tons of players dropping out of matches. In the two games I played just now, I'm not exaggerating when I say I played with 15 different people. I guess a bunch of people could be dropping in just to try out new weapons?

I didn't really have any expectations going into the new anti-TSC mission, but I'm still pretty disappointed in it. Also the worst glow fog map I've faced yet. Tons of narrow passageways and blind alleys, all my deaths were because I had nowhere to run. Extremely meh. I honestly don't even really remember doing much than shooting some eggs and hitting buttons and just trying to find paths through the warren.
