Here's my hipfire setup for the burstfire rifle. I had to throw on the damage muzzle and sacrifice a bit of spread accuracy because I left too many enemies with a sliver of health. Now I don't leave them with anything.

That gun is a thing of beauty. :golfclap: Do you need an invite?

I stopped playing this game for a few days to focus on non-videogame things and I come back and all my gun parts are gone. Really feeling the sting of this 7-day rental minimum right now, I don't want to waste my meager GP on stuff I'll find out I don't like within an hour and I sure as hell won't drop real money on a one-day rental Jesus Christ.

What level does the holoscope unlock at? I'm saving my GP to basically perm that one immediately because it seems like the best open sight in the game.

e: Also SwitchbladeKult I'm online and shot you an email, thank you again! Looking forward to GOON.

Sever maintenance soon. I'll try to make it in time. No promises. Let's hope this brings the three day rentals.

I got knocked offline before I could see it.

Also, I figured out a way to hit 10.00 run speed and I have a machete and it is my new favorite thing in the world. :allears:

I haven't had a chance to play with either. I'm level 9 as of today and Xenaero very generously hooked me up with a CQC pack which is how I hit 10.00 to begin with. I'm excited to try out the other melee weapons. (I also want to try the goddamn shotgun as soon as possible!!)

If you want to run fast and hip-fire people, the shotgun will be your best friend. There's nothing quite like someone getting the jump on you, and just turning around and blowing their head up with a well-placed blast.

I have a tricked-out runspeed SMG and having this exact thing to go with my melee would be a dream come true. I'm going to leave this game running overnight just to get that perm shotgun. I hope it works.

And you can spent the same amount of GP on attachments for an AR and be way more effective. I think the M4X is garbagezoned like the BPFA, personally.

I already have that Metal Storm shotgun from a previous giveaway, so if anyone wants to trade for it I can hook you up after things drop. It seems to actually have faster reload than the normal shotgun reciever can even with quickmags.

A fully developed, released game should not completely shutdown for maintenance.

In my opinion, this is almost unacceptable. The game is supposed to be full developed, yet they are completely shutting down servers. This kind of thing is only really seen in beta testing. If PWE wants my money, they need to make the game AVAILABLE 24/7.

BTW I'm not yelling because of this one time, its happened numerous times.

I used to think that too until I started using it like an SMG and not an AR. It's marvelous for just running around and hosing people down with bullets. Just don't ADS with it. You will be sad if you try.

Oh my God I am so giddy right now. I was playing around going 100% melee kills with a machete, which apparently makes dudes rage in ways I've literally never seen in an FPS, and the game said I unlocked a Martial Artist challenge. I didn't think much of it, like wow cool another data node or whatever. No, apparently the game gave me a free 7-day katana and I tried the katana and holy poo poo this katana. Holy poo poo. I don't want guns anymore. I only want Hanzo steel.

e: Holy poo poo the speed boost you get for using it. This is the greatest item in the game
e2: God dammit, you need to be level 39 to perm a Katana with GP. I don't want this thing to go away, I want to play with it forever.... :(

Last night about eight of us got into a DOM Metro game. The map became a field of discarded katanas. We did not rest until everyone in the game had a katana. :getin:

Are you high enough level to perm the M4X with GP and also have enough ZEN laying around to do a trade? If so we can make arrangements to do a swap. I buy you a katana with GP and you buy me a M4X with your GP.

Actually they aren't really. Most of the posts on this page are from goon games where almost every goon had a katana. In pub games you will only see melee types here and there, and it is very rare that they actually do well.

They are generally terrible actually. It just takes a few shots to kill a speed melee type person.

I am level 10 and I don't have any Zen, though its tempting to throw a Steam purchase worth of money this game's way. I ave a pile of GP though, but it seems like you'd need Zen to trade it (which has cash grab written all over it). I still have a week to play with this freebie katana though, we can work something out.

This one dude named Fawn kept getting upset with me, calling me a "noob" for doing melee only and asked me to leave the server. No one has ever asked me to leave a server before, this is all new to me. He also informed me I was bad at the game. He and his friends ended up leaving the server themselves after the round ended:



I definitely think this game is worth a couple bucks. I kinda want that Sniper helmet that trades 10% armor for faster HRV recharge.

Okay. Well, I'm 2k GP away from perming the M4X. I'll use this week to get up some GP to perm you a katana. You can hit me back at some future point in time.
