[QUOTE=xxfalconxx;43764420]So, if anyone's interested, I've found out a rather OP weapon configuration. A beam-type weapon with slug-type rounds, sniper barrel, charge trigger, a dampening stock and optical zoom for aim essentially gives you a spartan laser. From what I could do with it, a solid hit will do 7/8ths of someone's health, and headshots at half-charge are insta-kills.
It's pretty lethal. Overheats like a bitch though, so I use liquid cooling. Didn't stop people from calling me a hacker though, since the thing is accurate to a fault and hyperlethal.[/QUOTE]
I tried it out (can't actually buy it) and while it does do some nice damage, it overheats too quickly to be any use imo. Compared with a "sniper" rifle (sniper barrel, shell loading, semiauto) you can get kills in three bodyshots or a headshot and a bodyshot (~70 damage headshots!) and you have 11 rounds, plus shell-loading can fire mid-load. Way better as a sniper/recon solution.
I guess your gun's main advantage is the 100% accuracy even while hipfiring, though.
they should add a really brief time limit (like 0.5 seconds more) inbetween rolls. it gets kinda stupid when people don't even walk around you, they just roll everywhere
I just did amazing in competitive.

That's part of the game.
[QUOTE=Vilusia;43766382]That's part of the game.[/QUOTE]
in what way does that imply it can't be changed
[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;43766422]in what way does that imply it can't be changed[/QUOTE]
Because the combat is meant to be fast paced. Slowing it down will slow down the combat.
it'd still be fast paced if it was 0.5 sec slower
[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;43766576]it'd still be fast paced if it was 0.5 sec slower[/QUOTE]
It would be like making bhopping in quake 0.5 seconds slower. It makes a noticeable difference.
no, because you'd still be able to jump in that time
I'm starting to think one of the problems this game has is the UI. The announcer is annoying (and isn't a good announcer at all, I'd love some hammy Unreal Tournament announcer), and people don't seem to understand the objectives for some gamemodes (deathsnatch...).
In addition extraction is fucking garbage, does it really have to decide who the collector is randomly?
I accidently bought sniper and single shot for pulse tech tree, anyway to refund? :>
also it'd be nice if it gave you better tips, and in a bigger font or something, I didn't know you could shoot crystals to make them explode and learning how to high-jump (jump after rolling) is essential for some really good shortcuts

I had a match where I was selected to be the collector just as I'm getting blown up or swiss cheese'd by the enemy team like 4 times.
Then I got selected to be the collector as I accidentally roll off a cliff, costing us the game.
I love how retarded some people can be. I was playing a game of jackhammer and after grabbing it and getting it all the way towards our side of the map I get killed, then my teammate picks it up and starts running all the way to their side of the map, dropping it and losing it.
Wow, Sniper beam outclasses all other weapons.
This game is surprisingly excellent.

[QUOTE=TheCombine;43764685]Wish the game had more characters.[/QUOTE]
Me too, but the customization is good enough to make different looking characters.

I wish they did it like Payday 2 where after each match you could choose from 3 crates and you get an item randomly like an outfit or money, instead of the daily item shit
i'd gladly give up the miser-ass amount of blutes I get every match for a chance at getting a cosmetic actually

Not really, if you just want to play for free its pretty bad
Right now I have default and 1 pair of shorts, amazing selection

My whopping way to look different was to remove all my hair and swap out the single pair of pants I got.
Hey, name changes are paid, what the hell. Those are taken from your Steam account name or your steam community ID, that's kinda shitty. You'd think steamworks integration would also mean "let me use the name my alias that's shown literally everywhere else".
I got a gang bandana thingy from a daily prize. I always click the middle crate :p
Does anybody have good pyro setups for the rifle? Currently my rifle just has an extended mag along with the pyro projectiles and that's it.
My name was an old one from way back, dunno why.
but you get 1 free name change.
So is it right that this game switched from a fair, pretty good shooter to a microtransaction infested Pay2Win game?
Because if so, I won't even consider trying this out.
F2P microtransaction games have to stop, it's poisoning the industry.

I'd be fine with that as long as they didn't remove the ability to purchase the weapon parts you need.
Like Payday 2.
I'm still having fun, but I'm a bit disheartened that in a game all about weapon customization, the most effective strategy seems to be "put a spooling trigger on it, then hold left mouse and jump around like a retard until they die."
Spam grenades and use fire afterburn until they die
I hate the matches where it just ends up being their gun > your gun and you get completely destroyed

So, use the terrain/location/etc to your advantage. Master movement and you'll get hit less, or get a bigger chance of moving towards a friend who will notice you're in trouble.
I die often because I go for kills every dang time but if I want to escape (which is essential in deathsnatch to avoid giving the enemy free shit) I just dodgeroll and jump away into whichever green dot is closest to me on the minimap.
Bolt-action wide-scatter shotguns are amusing. 73 damage with them, but you only have one chance to deliver it. I think I prefer shell loading ones, really, but it's a nifty experiment.
Downloaded it yesterday and played it. It was a lot of fun, I like how chaotic and fast-paced it can be. But it looks like the beams are a bit overused at the moment but that's not really bad. A rocket launcher and a beam to finish off people looks like a good combo to me and it works pretty good. Also the artstyle is very cool.
About the cosmetic stuff, I'd wish you could choose between 2-3 default items at least on some slots. At the moment, the only way to look different is reomoving stuff..

Also, what about the facebook taunt? I liked their facebook page and also logged in on loadout.com but don't have it yet. Anyone of you guys got it?
I like healing with my beam-thingy, it's fun to keep my entire team up and overhealed.
I honestly don't know what attachments to use tho, I'm so lost
