As much as I am loathe to link to reddit, CHECK OUT THE DEETS ON THE HALLOWEEN ISH. https://m.reddit.com/r/AtlasReactor/comments/57j49q/official_trion_livestream_recap_1014_the_holo/?utm_source=mweb_redirect&compact=true Also, they make you do the tutorial on the PTS? Also also, looking forward to next goon group.

Not sure about the tutorial, but you need to play a game with bots before people. The halloween stuff looks great, I love how Juno's ghostbuster outfit has a quark-as-a-ghost logo on it. They also said the next freelancer is firepower, but after that it will be 2 frontline in a row, hinting that one of them would be a woman to be smash sisters with Su-ren (Garrison and Titus are considered Smash Bros by the community). Also today they gave out freelancer pack codes to anyone who owned a trust pack, so those will be floating out there.

Those halloween skins look nice. Are they only gonna be available for the limited time or just in crates or what?

According to that it's a limited table, no dupes crate that you get from a repeatable mission that gets harder each time you complete it. So ostensibly if you play enough you could get everything, but depending on how hard it gets that might be a chore. But also the last week of the event you can just buy them all with ISO if you want.

PuP ended up being one of the last Firepower people I tried and has ended up as my favorite out all of them, go figure.

Geokinesis posted:What mods do you use with them? Bite and Run, Play Time, Wear Out, Hunting Dog and Supersonic. I find the best way to do things depends on the enemy team. If they're a bunch of super mobile people I focus on being invisible as much as possible, and just going where I'm needed to apply that sweet 36 damage when people don't expect it. If they're a double support or double tank setup I just stick to one of the supports and try to make them burn their movement CDs as quick as possible. I also try and do my best to predict where low health people are going to run to, and wait for them if I've popped stealth and can burn a turn or two. It's interesting because he can easily apply an absolute ton of damage and stick to people like nobody else, but he's also completely capable of utterly ruining the enemies plans while applying almost no damage.

Ugh. The starting mission for the Halloween boxes is 100 takedowns while wearing a non-default skin. There are six variations for each skin and four skins, and if it starts at 100 it'll probably get unpleasant.

Also you can get skins from me when I stream, I'm always giving skins away when I lose so it's a decent deal. only downside is that you'd have to watch my stream edit: I'm just trying to say it's not that challenging

It's not challenging, it's just a fairly high starting point if it's going to "get harder each time". E: For clarity, I'm not asking to just get handed free poo poo, given how much I've been playing this game lately it's not exactly a huge ask upon my time, but it just seems a little on the high side.

Are we sure that's the starting quest? When I went through that intro thing I thought it was just giving an example of one. Anyways, is anyone playing this game and enjoying it, but stuck on the free version?

I hope not, they should set it up that the first 2-3 are relatively easy and then it gets hard. Su-Ren got put on the live server today but I don't like the heal cd nerf they gave her on PTS, she's not really tanky enough to be a melee healer, not with 140hp and a 20 heal on a now 3 turn cd. People overreact to new characters thinking they are the most OP thing ever, but Juno didn't turn out that way and Su-Ren didn't get a chance before nerfed, hopefully she gets buffed up soon because the playstyle is interesting. According to the livestream, the next freelancer is firepower and then there will be 2 frontlines in a row after that.

They removed the requirement to register a stupid rear end off-site account to play this game and just let you link your Steam with a button click so I'm playing now. Pretty good game. Absolutely clowning people with my buddies.

Of the four games I've played so far on the new patch, Su-Ren seems cool from the outside, but she also seems sort of impotent from every angle. Doesn't do a ton of damage, doesn't do much healing, doesn't have any real tank. Semi-related, the more I play I'm becoming a little frustrated with how much throughput some of the healers have. Obviously in a game where being out of position can net 120+ damage to one character in a turn, the healers need to be able to mitigate a fair chunk of that. But seeing a guaranteed kill slip through because they went from 20 health to over 90 and I decided to deal damage to other targets because my three teammates should have it covered is, frustrating. Honestly I should be more cogent of exactly how much healing characters can put out, and learn and play around those numbers, so I guess the answer is take this poo poo too seriously time.

Doesn't do a ton of damage, doesn't do much healing, doesn't have any real tank. With support you can discount Helio as shield isn't really healing so give it a turn or 2 for the ult, (Although with his ult and free action he can do like a good 90 shields in 1 turn.) Quark does usually 12-22 (depending on boost move) with a further 30~ if ulting for 40~ total (although he of course multi target heals. ) Dr Finn doesn't heal that well tbh he either shields for 40 or heals multiples for 24 (or 32 for 1 if using a mod). Orion mainly just mitigates the damage and heals 25~. Aurora does 35~ at max a turn (42~ if with the ion cloud healing mod and they stand in it.) Main thing is this will stack with catalysts and health pickups (or rasks ability) so you can get mega jumps. Usually though 1 attack from a front line almost negates a whole heal.

Yeah missing the kill on a team with quark can be super frustrating, a lot of PUGS will just let them escape without following and move on to a different target. That's part of the reason I like playing Asana or Titus, to really stick on the rear end of a damaged firepower.

Yeah, I'm not as good at playing frontliners but there are few things as satisfying as playing Titus and just sticking like glue to whatever healy support is trying to get away from you.

The shield catalyst is the main offender in terms of super-healing because you can't tell someone has it until they use it (unless I missed something?). I'm not a fan of broad pre-game customisation as it is but having no easy way to tell what mods and catalysts your opponent is running is really bad.

Well when you hold down alt, the green-yellow-red bars indicate if that catalyst has been used yet. It doesn't tell you which one, but turtle tech is very popular so you can pretty much assume TT-Fade-Second Wind.

Mousing over their cooldowns also tells you their mods, unless it only does that for teammates and I've somehow never once tried it on an enemy.

Well the first mission is 50 takedowns. I'd like it to be a bit easier, but hopefully it won't scale up and i can get 2-3 done during the timeframe. At least the skins will be on sale for iso the last week, and they said the price would be standard for skins.

Anyway it just bugs me that you have to guess, there's enough guessing games going on with when/how people will use them. Orv posted:Mousing over their cooldowns also tells you their mods, unless it only does that for teammates and I've somehow never once tried it on an enemy. I'm not sure, I find mousing over abilities to be a bit finnicky - looks like they just patched a solution in though which is great: quote:On the in-game scoreboard, there is now an Ability Mods tab. This allows players to see abilities, cooldowns, mods, and catalysts for everyone in the match. Our general approach is to not have the player forced to “remember” information, so this UI element aligns with our gameplay goals

Notes from livestream: - to help with the halloween quest, Tuesday update will give you a bonus on takedowns per match, depending on type. Also extending the event a day. - Ranked play will earn prestige points. At the end of the season you can use those points to buy special effects for the freelancers you like to play. - Ranked will have a queue dodging mechanic. If you d/c during games the penalty starts at 5 minutes and gets longer if it keeps happened. - They are working on tech that will allow you to draw over a replay, won't affect most of us but a good tool for youtubers and such. - The Asha Catari Asana skin they teased on twitter is actually a real thing, and will be cool for Rift vets when we get it.

I'm definitely down for a team, since they do everything on the weekend. Plus there are 6 spots for 4 players so it's not like there isn't an alternate if something comes up.

I'm creating one for The Imperium, that gaming community with its roots in that Eve online goon group, etc. etc. if you'd like to join that one, let me know. Otherwise, creating teams isn't hard, and Trion has been throwing money for the prizes during the first two seasons of the prep phase league. First season they got $1000 in prizes, the second season they got $2500 in prizes, not sure about the new season coming up in November though

Was just in solo quick play against an all dev team this morning, and got wrecked from trying to second guess their dashes. (And from not being in a group)
