Donnerberg posted:Despite my very good advice, I haven't played yet, and I have an important question. not at this time I don't think, that being said, I dodged in and around a bunch of their pillboxes last night and got into one of the enemy trucks which turned out to have about 800-900 materials in it which promptly got blown up by their pillboxes also good poo poo last night guys. I got to play logisticmans and bring people materials / spawns to use, i got to harass and destroy enemy supply lines with werkwerk and killeroflawyers, and I got to get in a big rear end fight over a base we made

On one hand with the suicide trucks, trucks are so fragile I wouldn't mind such a feature gameplay wise, on the other hand, that's an antithesis to the flavour of the game, unless we want to go the "how desperate are you to end the forever war" route... ... Wait, the team killing potential. Oh my god, no. On a more serious note, again, the goon discord is both a good place to learn how to play, and find out where the hell we're actually playing and planning to do.

My first experience with this game was getting run over on a bridge.  Second experience was telling my team to not go down the road I was on due to enemy fortifications. This was followed by a truck and motorcycle full of my team flying past and blowing up....

The main exception is at the town hall, where I will occasionally deposit them. I do that because people want to make trucks, and if you just throw it all in a chest you have a hundred chucklefucks just leaving trucks everywhere, but if they have to take it out 10 at a time, the people who actually want a truck will use them

This game is absolutely awesome. The sheer amount of rage from teammates, simcity-ing and accidental team kills is hilarious. Not to mention the in-game VOIP allows you to insult the enemy team.

I rolled up to a fuel spot with a friend in a truck, we both went to collect fuel when some other guy next to us started screaming someone stole the fuel from his truck and blamed me for it. I told him it wasn't me but he didn't believe me. Every time he saw me anywhere on the map he called me fuel thief from that point on.

Why the gently caress would you steal fuel if you're mining it? It's infinite.

So mortars are baller. Once you farm the shells and get set up with a spotter its a killfarm. As it should because getting the gear together is work. Gas grenades are something else. They're cheap and simple and they kill the gently caress out of everyone because people don't have gasmasks. They either sit behind cover and die or go running. And they kill people inside halftracks. But the best thing is chucking them where you *think* enemies are, and then you hear a bunch of panicked shouting in voip.

The game is freaking amazing. I just wish they keep tweaking the in-game economics - let resources costs scale - at some points you have way too many supply trucks, etc. Adjust UI elements - maximize and minimize the chat screen. Environmental Destruction would also be nice.

I jumped on last night for my first game. It's really good fun hoofing it with a large squad, but once you get separated... hoo boy is it frustrating. One thing I'm finding tricky is your the limited sight range. Do Bincos let you see a lot further? I keep getting killed by foxholes or pillboxes since I don't see them until it's too late. Is there also a trick to seeing people in foliage? Was running with Quioran (?) who got gunned down by someone in a bush, and all I could do was run around in circles in a panic.

I played a little bit, but my connection sucks so much it was rubber band city for me. Fun game though, the colonial base on the server I was on was pushed all the way back, and then an outpost ended up as the main base. What are the win conditions in this?

Big Black Brony posted:I played a little bit, but my connection sucks so much it was rubber band city for me. all towns must be captured. if you pushed into their HQ and they did not own anything else, a new townhall must be built on top of their HQ townhall. Tab8715 posted:Is there a trick for aiming? Do I just place the crosshair over my target and hope for the best? pretty much. i usually aim behind them as it will aim at the elevation the mouse is at, but there's still inaccuracy. also carbines fire faster but do less damage and are less accurate than rifles. storm rifles are OP.

The logistical supply side of the equation seems so very important, based on my limited playing. I would think a smooth operating logistical support team can facilitate a steamroll, even if your front line isn't the best.

It absolutely is. No matter how strong your shooter skills are if you don't have the weapons, ammo, and spawn supplies to take advantage of it then you're not going to be able to contribute to the battle. In my experience it is very rare for a fight to be lost due to lack of player interest, usually it is due to a lack of materiel for said players to spawn and equip themselves. This is the kind of game where it is absolutely viable to engage in attrition warfare. Even if it feels like your team is made up by a gaggle of dunces who got lost on the way back to the short bus (i.e. all the time) so long as they are a well supplied gaggle of dunces and the enemy isn't then your opponent will eventually lose the ability to resist. It's hard to overstate how big of an advantage a bedroll and a rifle is over an enemy without either, and similarly it's hard to overstate how big of an advantage having a bedroll, rifle, supporting mortar and grenade fire and vehicle support is over an enemy with only the bedroll and rifle. The better supplied your side is the more combat effective they become. A good logistics team can make or break a campaign.

So, a wishlist: A. Goonsquad barracks hidden in a corner of the rear stocked with mortar and satchel crates 2. Some kind of shared map tool. With easy drag and drop icons to map fortifications. As games progress and everyone starts digging in, it'd be nice to have some gist of where enemy walls, bunkers, tunnels, and watchtowers are. D. A timer on said map for the sulfur nodes

automaticswim posted:also carbines fire faster but do less damage and are less accurate than rifles. storm rifles are OP. I've found Storm Rifles to be incredibly rare and not at all that accurate. In other news, I used the Field Machine Gun on a chokepoint and kept killing mans - probably over a dozen until they figured that pile of dead bodies meant something. My last issue in the game is why my shots are going over people? Do bullets go pasts the first screen?
