A.R.C arm, you serious?
[QUOTE=Dongleberry;32307331]A.R.C arm, you serious?[/QUOTE] Focus Arm is better for every other build except this one, my skillset focused on shorter build time and more damage so the key in this build is to deploy PT as fast as possible so that it can do maximum amount of damage before anyone notices is, deploy a Lockdown drone to keep players in from of the turret from juking away and Force Field to make it survive much much longer when facing idiots (aka most Merc players). This build will not work in any sort of serious engagements but in Merc derpfest it's fun and awesome.
Focus Arm has a shorter build time than A.R.C
A.R.C. is better at spiking damage than Focus.
In PVP: YOUR TEAM = Shitloads of recons and robotics, if you're lucky one other medic, They're also fairly incompetent. THEIR TEAM = Well balanced, well coordinated, extremley good. I swear, it feels like i'm the only medic in the whole game at times.
[QUOTE=Jack Trades;32307834]A.R.C. is better at spiking damage than Focus.[/QUOTE] As a drobo I will either take a nano, or a focused repair arm. I can easily pull an attackers attention away from a teammates turret, and I am much better in combat. Force target on the other hand is nice to have when there are 3 healing medics on the other team.
One PVP match it was 3 recons, 3 robotics, 1 assault and 2 medics, then 3. Control on sunspot. Winning for half the match. Enemy got a brief window of winning We took back that shit like it's 2099 won Also, beat the main storyline.

Also, managed to get Iguana and Dragonscale dye, so now I've gotta get one of my characters to level 50 :v:

Robos can't keep a nest up for more than a few seconds. No health stations. No respawn beacon. THEIR TEAM: Multi-robo nests everywhere, rebuilt almost as quickly as you destroy them. All their medics have poison wave. All their snipers have visual scanner 24/7. Roamers rape you in seconds with perfect accuracy, even while flying. [/rant]. Long losing streaks in merc are not fun.
Lol, Bombercons.
[QUOTE=Jack Trades;32358318]Lol, Bombercons.[/QUOTE] I typically top bot damage and kills even when my team gets stomped, and sniping is bloody frustrating on enclosed maps/with a bad team. I go sniper for PvE (and would do for AvA, if I took the time to join an agency and play competitively), but bomber seems to do just fine in merc.

Beside, if you can't prevent nests as a BOMBERcon, then you should consider switching to something else, unless you're one of those cretins who lob all 3 bombs in a row to destroy a turret and a medical station while the robotics is not even there, then you should downright uninstall the game.

Preventing 3 nests at once while all your teammates hump the front end of an inferno cannon is another.

Yeah right.

[editline]19th September 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=DeandreT;32360711]Sniper preventing robo nests? Yeah right.[/QUOTE] Actually Snipers can [I]prevent[/I] nests, if they're good. They just can't destroy them if they're already up.
[QUOTE=DeandreT;32360711]Sniper preventing robo nests? Yeah right.[/QUOTE] [i] Oh god I can't shoot a stationary object that can't be out-repaired by the robotic's focused repair arm because my sniper outdamages everything in the game [/i] Even if the nest is already up, your sniper rifle's damage (any of them) can take down any station / turret from the robotics, they can't outheal the damage output. Yeah, I AM right. You don't have to be in the line of fire of the turret to take it down, just saying.
You two need to shut up, people play how they want, I think bombercon is pretty useful since most of the games I get are full of Snipercons who don't do shit.
Change of subject! :v Post pics of your character(s) - are you a slick, stealthy techno-agent or a rainbow-soaked, hologram-spewing pimp? Mine are pretty bland, but I've settled on a simple look that suits pretty much every class.

[QUOTE=krail9;32406092]that cashshop...[/QUOTE] Nope. All my gear was bought with credits/tokens, or dropped. I do use boosters, but that's it.
If we bought GA back when you could buy it on steam, are you considered an elite agent?
yup
[QUOTE=LordCrypto;32410726]If we bought GA back when you could buy it on steam, are you considered an elite agent?[/QUOTE] Doesn't matter when or where you bought it actually.
How "pay to win" is this game? I'm thinking of trying it.
[QUOTE=Meller Yeller;32412966]How "pay to win" is this game? I'm thinking of trying it.[/QUOTE] It's not. Everything you buy for real money either gets you the same stuff but twice as fast or is just flair. That's provided you bought so called Elite Agent, which is a small one-time fee.
On a purely free account you are pretty limited but if you make the one time purchase you are just as even as everyone else. Then it becomes time investment.
[QUOTE=Snipehamster;32408728]Nope. All my gear was bought with credits/tokens, or dropped. I do use boosters, but that's it.[/QUOTE] Oh, carry on then. I didn't know you could get those helmets other than with agenda points (except the 4 star mastery of course).
New zone is interesting.
