I am hopeful that being able to poo poo out 2500+ damage in 1.2 seconds really does make up for the lower burst from the Saron. The PPA will have to be goddamn stupendous to make me dump the Kobalt though.

If you are using kobalt over PPA I don't know what to say. PPA is the best anti infantry gun in the game by a huge margin right now.

That's a very old bug. This might not be surprising, but TR is the "default" faction. Just like all ES heavy weapons are classified as chainguns.

Good to hear. I also noticed switching between the LMG and AV launcher takes a loooot longer now. Perhaps they left that change off last time.

This guys KDR baffles me.

I mean I know that vehicle whoring and running away at the slightest issue is a good way to keep a positive KDR, so I wouldn't be very surprised at see something like 10 or 15 kills per death, but this guy: 43.13 KDR. His stats show him using a Mossie all the time, but I really wish the sites did a vehicle loadout breakdown because I'd like to know what he's using on it. My only guess is that he's running ejection seat and just bails and redeploys every time he gets in trouble.

Close, he literally quits the game client if his mossie reaches 30% health for any reason.

Without even pulling up the link, I'm going to guess that's Daddy.

He just spams rockets at infantry and alt-F4's if he's about to die. Total gimmick.

I took a barely-certed Vanguard for a spin with my NC alt and holy poo poo that thing owns. I look at things and they die. I LOOK AT THINGS AND THEY DIE. It took a Prowler and two Mosquitos focusing their fire on my to finish me off but not before I had wasted Lightnings and infantry squads by the bucketload.

Yup guessing thats daddy. He will bug out with his mossie as soon as he starts taking damage. He is a drat good shot though.

Phoenix "exploit" (gently caress that poo poo its how the launcher should work to make it any good) fix as well as the long range nerf on the Enforcer is going to make continuing playing as NC against Lock Down Fractures and ZOE space lasers very frustrating.

Feeling really underwhelmed and disappointed in the game right now. Couple hours in and I counted zero situations the shield saved my rear end, 2 where it was marginally useful past being an interesting gimmick, and a dozen where not having charge got me killed. Preliminary results: run rank 1 shield on your slug mattocks, otherwise you want charge. Even then, just run charge all the time.

But hey, it's got the NC faction trait of being marginally competitive if you dump a shitload of certs into it! Meanwhile, VS are now supercharged always-sprinting HAs with two Gauss SAW arms and much greater durability and the TR basically never have to worry about air again. Does SOE even know what the gently caress they're doing with the NC right now? The Vanguard is a lovely brawler tank because it's half health by the time it gets to the fray, by which time it's doomed. It's great in a mass charge but so are harassers and HAs and literally anything else.

I mean, we just straight up got totally dominated on Amerish and that's with a whole shitload of NC pulling MAXes right now to try it out. I thought everybody in multi-purpose force multipliers was the best case scenario?

You can, but they require sustained fire to make any impact at all. If you're going to shield against vehicles you need Falcons.

You lost that alert because we had like %78 pop on Amerish, not because your shield sucks.

Of course not. Why do you think there's so many shotgun gimmicks? I really didn't expect the shield to be anything more than a gigantic gimmick, and that's exactly what it turned out to be. TR, once again, gets the most bullshit thing in the world, VS gets a zoom-zoom gimmick, and NC get a useless piece of poo poo.

The shield and shotgun gimmick bullshit is really annoying, but they apparently can't appropriate any more brainpower to NC stuff than "SHOTGUN AND/OR SHIELD".

Your small arms fire resistance was lowered, but your speed was increased. Charge isn't useful because it makes you more resistant to small arms fire, it's useful because it makes you faster.

I'll test it more but the shield so far is just an interesting gimmick on top of the rest of our interesting gimmicks, and our shotgun gimmick isn't even remotely exclusive. We just get the shotguns where they don't make sense instead of guns.
