GANDHITRON posted:Thanks for the reply. I'm pretty sure my Immobile Infantry account name is GANDHITRON. If not, then I guess it would be my character name, Anyin Lau-Zhai. Here's hoping I can find some time to play this summer. All sorted, you're back on the forums now. You can't link your EVE/Dust accounts for the guy asking either. Sorry.

sleeptalker posted:Is there any functional difference between the Scrambler Rifle and the ARs we have now? There's nothing too obvious in that video, but I guess there might be some more subtle stat changes or something. There is a full auto variant and a semi-auto variant that you can charge up. I really hope scrambler rifles retain the scrambler pistol's brain-scrambling headshot multiplier. I'm torn between the flaylock and my trusty assault scrambler pistol. I want to be scrambler-man. e: I wonder if they are expanding armor skills. Armor seems to be a lovely choice right now, considering the HP plates slow your rear end down, and reppers don't seem super effective, whereas shields have all sorts of modules and support skills armor just has... More armor while slowing you down, and a very slightly faster rep cycle skill. I think I need to dive into the stats because it seems like I'm missing something. Better for vehicles maybe? Better fitting? Mr. Buchstansangur fucked around with this message at Apr 27, 2013 around 18:06 |

They are changing Armour tanking apparently, they did mention a whole bunch of new modules in the Keynotes etc where they said there will be some armour modules that don't give a speed penalty and some that even repair themselves.

Specced into shotgun scout and HMG heavy to try them out. Played one instance of skim junction regular ambush for each suit. Shotgun scout - was running Type A/B suits with breach and standard tier 2 shotguns. If I could sum up my experience, it would be that scout are a lot of fun when everything comes together, but at the same time really lovely when it doesn't. Watching a red dot on the radar and popping out from a corner at the last second to blast him in the face to OHK feels awesome. But there's so little HP on the suit that it can all go to poo poo at the drop of a hat. Thinking back to the whole round, I could have done so much more damage with an AR assault while being in less danger. Round K/D: 15/4. Verdict - Not worth it unless you're bored with ARs, have ISK to burn, and are looking for a challenge. HMG Heavy - Tier 1 suit, tier 1 HMG. I can see why people play heavies. The damage output and massive HP really make you feel like an invincible juggernaut. Coming around a corner to bump into an enemy assault is delicious, and you can almost feel their desperation as you mow them down. I did not have any logi support, but if i did I can imagine I'd have kicked even more rear end. Round K/D: 15/0 Verdict - A lot of fun, and very effective as long as you stay the hell away from wide open spaces. In the end, assault suits with ARs are still where it's at.

Is there a way to make the keyboard/mouse easier to deal with? So many of the controls seem to not be mapped, and others don't do what you think they'd do. I checked the mapping under the settings, and it gives some slight insight, but the majority leave me wondering. Mainly menu navigation gives me problems.

A direct port of the controls was probably too easy for CCP. The problem is that some menus use like E as circle to interact with stuff, but other uses backspace to exit menus. Enter works to select things, backspace closes, t brings up chat, esc closes everything. E is used as circle when interacting, and backspace is used as circle when cancelling. I know, i know. loving CCP. Use a controller in the menus if it gives you grief and just use the kb to type messages

OK, I'll elaborate more. Nova knives suck. Hand to hand combat possibly doesn't. If my calculations are correct, and headshots work in melee attacks (pretty sure headshots always count), it's theoretically possible to dish out well over 700hp per strike. Even without the headshot, you should be able to pump out around 360hp damage per strike, killing most scrub pubbies in one hit, and almost everyone else in two. I want to try and put a squad of comedy sniper hunters together, who trundle up behind non redline enemy snipers and kosh them over the back of the head, for glorious killfeed embarrassment. We've kinda been doing it already with shotguns, but melee is just... well... funnier.

All of the dropsuits currently do the same base melee damage: 135 I was actually experimenting with this on Friday on an alternate account and was able to take down a heavy in 3 hits from full health. I wasn't going for headshots and can't confirm if those work or not. Here's the math: proto nova knives (assuming we're trying to get the most damage) do 185 damage per hit. As handheld weapons they are subject to the 10% damage bonus you'll get from weaponry level 5. They can also be boosted by sidearm weapon mods. Assuming a nova knife proficiency of level 5 and 4 complex sidearm damage mods with no stacking penalty you can get a maximum 296 damage per hit. Melee attacks on the other hand, benefit much better from their skills. Hand to hand combat gives you 25% bonus damage per level, and each complex myofibril stimulant is worth a whopping 50% bonus damage. Finding the product of all that spits out 438 damage per hit, meaning you could two shot most low-level heavies. Naturally stacking bonuses do apply, and getting nova knife proficiency to level 5 let alone using 4 damage mods or myofibril stims is not reasonable, meleeing is still the better option as it benefits much more from its passive skills and lets you build dropsuits as you want instead of focusing on getting the most out of your melee attacks. If you're still interested in screwing around more with all this, let me know as I'd gladly throw my alt into the mix to get results.

Headshot melee exists, but it feels like the back is more vulnerable also. Like it should be.

Present posted:I'm in the game now and the Scout Type B has 285 HP listed as its melee damage. Well I stand corrected. I made the assumption that all suits had the same melee damage based on all the standard suits having 135 and most of the prototype suits having 135. I wonder why the B-series is so high then.

As I have observed it, they come from one of three places: the Mercenary Pack, promotional dropsuits (e.g. like the kind earned in the Human Endurance promotion), or Featured Fits (I bought a couple just for the hell of it, and the featured Assault fits had Fused grenades). Most of them require real moneys or Aurum, sadly. And those that do not are pretty rare.
