Darnit, I can't seem to load past 98% after GU10. Hope it's just a little server blip.

EDIT: Never mind. Validating stuff fixed it.

*Fires Phoenix*
*Watches it arc downward into the ground*
*Sad trombone*

More along the lines of;

*Aim Phoenix towards enemy tanks*
*Fire Phoenix*
*Screen freezes for a second*
*Gain control of Phoenix just as it soars past tanks*
*Desperately wheel mouse around on maximum sensitivity trying to find a new target*
*Hit rock*
*Sad trombone*

And if I'm interpreting it correctly, they're only nerfing the jerk of the ZOE. Top acceleration and top speed are still the same.
So happy, hopefully.

I'm just hoping the numbers keep going down. That was the biggest problem. Higby spoke about this in a twitch chat and noted that VS MAXes have always had the best KDR, just they were the least used MAXes. Now they are even better and absolutely fucking everywhere.

I fully support this change.




People trying to FPS on gamepads will be excellent easy points.

Sadly the PS4 won't mean free cannon fodder.

Happily it will mean better multi-thread support.

Oh good, so instead of having one healthy game we're going to have two identical ones, both underpopulated. Wonderful.

Better that than having the PC version Shadowrun'd (i.e. introducing artificial lag and sluggishness to the PC version in order to keep the console players from whining).

Does it really need artificial lag and sluggishness? It seems to be pretty good at being those things already.

Maybe Sony was planning this all along?

Yah, it sounds like minecraft with content, you have obviously missed the point, people dont like content, they like different coloured blocks.
Seems to work fine with my copy. As soon as I loaded the human caravan came by and the world burst into fire.

Ran fine on my PC, no lag or slowdown.

Given that the console is made by Sony and the game is made by Sony Online Entertainment, that's definitely a possibility. ;)

So... i pimped out my shotgun with various mods (ammo, NV scope, slugs) and discoveded the ugly truth.

I knew you can't oneshot people with shotguns but i was chasing some guy at close range and he took 4 bullets to the chest before he dropped.

FOUR.

I was expecting being able to 2-3 shot people but...
Well i shouldn't have expected to get the god of guns for 480 certs and it's still better than the stock guns.

Saving now to max out nanoweave and repair tool on my engy (found out repairing things gives decent exp when you use a upgraded tool for it).

I bought AP mines BUT they take up the ammo box slot making them useless for cert grinding (better find a hill with lots of infantry holding out and repair MAX/drop boxes all day instead).

You'll be very pleased to know that you can select your turret, hit 'b', then drop the ammo box, even if it's not in the utility slot. You can hit 'b' again to switch back to your turret.
