Synonamess Botch posted:Console aiming is unbelievably slow. I don't understand why this still happens in games, I think CoD is the only game that allows you to turn your sensitivity up to anything approaching reasonable. As it is, turning around 180 degrees on the Xbox is like pulling a U-turn in a battleship. I can't understand this either; you should be able to set not only the sensitivity but also the contrast between near-center of the stick movement and how fast it moves when pushed to the edge, which would allow everyone to work, no matter their sensitivity preferences. Right now it seems like devs are afraid of having sensitivity be too high for the average person or something, so even if you raise sensitivity to unplayable levels for fine aiming you still can't do 180s very quickly at all. It doesn't need to be an instant flip but you should be able to at least turn around as fast as a normal human could. If there's a PC version of a shooter I always go for that because of this.

Is the game unplayable buggy for anyone else today? Two disconnections out of two games (both before wave 4) and two games that flat-out refused to let me join by sticking me on the loading screen for 5+ minutes until I task manager-ed out.

Exodee posted:Yeah, that would make it quite a lot harder to pull off. It's strange that they would limit you like this, since you can set your mouse sensitivity to impractically high levels. I tried the Valiant on my Destroyer a couple nights ago and was pleasantly surprised. But I could use any gun with that fucker and be pleasantly surprised.

Hyperactive posted:Is that all it takes? I've got the passive stability evolutions, but the Hurricane was still too goofy without Stabilization consumables, and I'll run out of those eventually. I've got Barrage Gear maxed out, so if that's all it takes to keep the Hurricane under control... Yeah, a maxed out Barrage Gear gives as much stabilization as a level 3 amp.

Also I tried using the Eagle on the Destroyer but it was still quite lackluster. vvv I've had the "hang on opening Commendation/Victory pack" as well, but restarting the game fixed it for me. The Crusader should be fairly decent, since they buffed it recently. Still way too heavy for my tastes, though. Come to think of it, a Destroyer might make a good Crusader user...

Both my Victory and Commendation Pack hung for a minute or so before losing connection and kicking me out to the title screen. Reconnecting then immediately gave me the contents each time. Cyclonic modulator IV  and N7 Crusader  Joined a game in wave 1 to try out the Crusader with my recently-unlocked Carnifex and got a disconnect during wave 3, so yeah something is borked up right now. Possibly all the people redeeming everything from the event. It's annoying because I want to try out all the things I unlocked while I'm on my second big string of luck; I want to get a Shadow before it ends and I go back to getting Shuriken upgrades.

Exodee posted:How much ammo does the Valiant get if you have Destroyer Mode activated? I can't believe I haven't thought of that before. Four shots per clip, I am relatively certain. Don't remember how many clips. The extra shot was pretty nice actually. There's not a whole lot in Gold that can tank four Valiant shots in a row. Not to mention the basically nonexistent reload. Then again, honestly, the Talon w/Scope+Piercing may do that job just as well, if not better.

I didn't even remember that the Hurricane has recoil to be honest. Really you get used to dragging the mouse downwards while firing pretty quickly.

 Just what I always wanted! Also, it seems that everytime I get any pack from the ingame store now, the game disconnects me from the multiplayer (after a frustratingly long "please wait" session of course) and tosses me back into the main menu, where I again have to wait while the game "checks downloadable content" for half a minute. Joy. EDIT: It already did this to me a few days ago when I played last, and now with both the victory and commendation pack, plus a recruit pack I got for testing purposes. EDIT2: ^ No I didn't, since both times the problem has occurred I haven't intended to keep playing for the moment anyway. Nordick fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Aug 28, 2012 |

Oh yeah, I noticed something in a G/G/W game yesterday night. When you aim and fire from a standing position with the Typhoon or another recoil-heavy weapon, the recoil gets nuts, obviously. When I aimed from cover, it got better, but it was still kinda crazy. But when I just held down the fire button while in cover, it did insane damage and the recoil was almost completely mitigated. What's up with that?

For some reason, if you do this with the Harrier (and I guess the Mattock if you can click fast enough) its shots will go all over the place, so it doesn't work as well with every weapon.

Eagle III. They really want to keep me balanced, what with the Hurricane III, Valiant II, and Crusader IV.Exodee posted:You are holding backwards when charging a new target, right? Else the "cooldown" on your last melee hit takes too long and leaves you vulnerable. Though I'm not sure what difference holding down S (I am on PC) would make, yes, I am usually instinctively trying to back away when tapping Charge. But the problem isn't there, it's when I'm in the middle of the three-tap, four-slash light melee combo. I'll be in the middle of a combo, my sword inside a Pyro's face, and suddenly I'm stumbling from a Hunter. If you're saying you're just fine when that happens, I have no idea what's going on either.

You have almost the exact same Commendation weapons as I have, except the Eagle and Crusader are swapped around.

But it's funny, Hunters and Pyros haven't been able to stagger me so far, and I've seen Rocket Troopers try to melee me in the back without fazing me. Even their rockets tend to fly right through me if I'm in the middle of a combo, though if I charge a group of, like 4 regular Troopers then yeah, usually one won't get staggered by you and will knock you right out of it. Maybe you only get staggered if you get hit in the front/back? Would be kinda counter-intuitive but hey, it's Bioware.

Exodee posted:If you don't hold backwards there will be a bit of a delay before you can charge your next target after your final melee hit. If you do hold it though, then you can Charge seamlessly without leaving an opening. This is true for other Vanguards as well, but it's especially important for the Slayer. Weird. I've never noticed that with any vanguard, even my Kroguard, which I would think I'd be pressing forward more on. Maybe I'm just doing it subconsciously.

Yeah, certainly never got staggered by a Pyro, as they're incapable of it, but getting punched in the back by a Hunter always seems to do the trick. If there is a front/back difference though, that could explain the disconnect.

Did the victory pack contain anything useful? I redeemed it but it got stuck trying to open the pack forever and I had to alt+F4 out. When I came back it was gone from the store but I didn't notice anything new so I'm assuming it was just junk like equipment? I haven't actually played in a while but it seemed to take ages to connect to the server and load too.

Getting recruit packs until those are maxed is a good idea, because it's really cheap and quick, but holding to veteran packs until all the uncommons are maxed is a recipe for getting bored and quitting. You'll want to do it as much as you can, but you gotta mix it up to keep the rewards fresh.

I went back to spamming veteran packs after getting a few rares to X because some guy on BSN made fun of my manifest  To that effect it took about two days to get all my uncommons maxed.

I got a Hurricane II  I still can't get over how great the Slayer is. I was tanking a clump of four Phantoms on Gold like it was no big deal. Welcome to the bizarro reality where a Nemesis is actually a meaningful threat and a Phantom isn't. (ok so I kinda got gutstabbed by the last Phantom as I was about to kill it but that doesn't usually happen)

Got a Hurricane, but man does that thing ever give you recoil. I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with it even on a Destroyer. Speaking of the Destroyer, I tried the Talon out on it, and while it worked a bit better the damage seemed rather inconsistent. Sometimes it took off 3/4 of an enemy's health, sometimes it barely damaged them at all (and yes the enemy was in the middle of the circle, I'm not counting obvious whiffs).

I'm joining the Valiant I club this operation. I'm trying to find something heavy-hitting and decently ranged to complement the Reegar on my Demolisher for when something is beyond grenade-n'-zap range. Is the Valiant worth it (with a piercing mod, right?)? Or should I just go back to my Black Widow I? Did anyone not get a IV ammo card in their Victory pack?
