[QUOTE=ToastedTea;44495389]My god, I can't find an single game without infinite semi-auto beams and single barrel launchers.[/QUOTE]
But don't semi-auto beams suck in terms of DPS relative to full-auto beams?

iquid cooling sniper semi auto beam is a pinpoint 3 shot kill with virtually unlimited ammo. People also forget that you can reload whilst focused on ironsights
So today was more "Let's stay together and farm experience" instead of the common "Let's fight enemies like a real man in a 1vs1 close battle"

Was fun, but not that much of fun.
The wave and double rocketlauncher things are new, right? Doublebarrel seems bad compared to tribarrel tbh.
Haven't played in forever and was looking for weapon changes. No frost yet? :(
nyet
the good thing about double barrel is that you can keep reloading one rocket only and spam away
Apparently devs are taking way too much time to release updates and the interested in this game is dying.

That is it, I quit my job! I can't continue going with the blood of my own patients in my hands, is too much, I will start a new professional career, maybe as Sniper I bet there is a lot of available places.
Edit: Oh yeah, some days ago the server I used to play (South America) was disabled and now I'm back to the North America servers with +100 of ping. And that is not good. [url]https://www.loadout.com/forums/index.php?threads/australian-and-south-american-servers-were-disabled.6840/[/url]

When was the last update that featured some new content? What was thr time frame between release and that update? That's the problem - way too long.

Tesla and Slug pulse work well together.

Team Fortress 2 updates like once every 7 months and its player base hasn't dwindled, why does a game need constant content to stay fun? And counter-strike doesn't even update and people still play it.

Yeah, but Team Fortress 2 is pretty much set in terms of content. There's a lot of maps and gamemodes to keep people busy, and most items are balanced. Team Fortress 2 also allows for custom matches and servers, allowing modders to keep the community interested, while Loadout just has "Coming soon" under custom matches.

Well alright I understand that, I forgot the custom matches are still not open. Oh well, I enjoy it still.
Albinogorilla (a developer who's relegated to weapon balance, from what I gathered) has posted a somewhat hot discussion on the forums
Topic : Beam changes
he's noted down three canges :
1) Passive beam venting (hold down R) is getting removed. Parts are getting tweaked accordingly. Passive cooling is getting buffed accordingly, but cooling rate when beam is unequipped is reduced to an half
2) Barrels will now have bi-directional drop-off. This means that they will do reduced damage up until and after two specified ranges. This allows them to tweak the sweet spot of a beam based on barrel (thus giving Light Assault and Gatling, for example, a reason to exist)
3) Hipfiring will do about 60% base damage, whilst ADSing will do full damage
Saying that option 3 is getting a [B]LOT[/B] of flak is a severe understatement. Thankfully, the devs seem to be listening, so let's hope everything goes well!

Doesn't this completely defeat the purpose of the different vent options? How the hell are they going to make different options now?

And I'm pretty sure if this is intended to be a nerf to the semi-auto beams, they're going about it the wrong way since this would more or less mean a situation of "Hi, I walked half a meter forward and now you do reduced damage to me", [I]and[/I] really knock out the versatility that beams were good for.
[editline]14th April 2014[/editline]
Actually this [B]completely[/B] fucks over the jack-of-all-trade style beam weapons that they were originally built on being. Reduced damage, but decent targeting (if you could aim) at any range.
I'd rather have same damage but huge inaccuracy from hipfire/when moving, like the kickback from the gun is huge and you can't keep it steadily unless you are standing still.
Still something though
The effects of combining the powers of healing and buffing:

Feels awesome kill the entire team and think "I can take the entire world and no one can stop me".
Is there any way to like, calculate damage per second?
also, wish there was a "Spray" Chasis type, slug would just push-back, fire would = flamethrower and tesla, or healing would be fun as fuck

[QUOTE=NitronikALT;44368450]Genuinely curious here, but what is the advantage of Compact over Aluminum? Especially with shotguns, I see a lot of people saying that Compact is supposed to make pellet spread tighter (which I think isn't true, but feel free to prove me wrong)[/QUOTE]
compact + gatling + slug + full auto + large mag = OP as fuck
ofc one of my favorite shooters is starting to rapidly lose players now.
i don't think they can really get any more players to play regularly even if they push out some major updates, at this point. haven't played since march 23rd, patiently awaiting ranked honestly before i pick it back up.
[QUOTE=J!NX;44558582]

Aluminum + gatling + slug + full auto + large mag = Same exact thing, if not even better due to no loss of ADS accuracy
I suggest you switch from large mag to standard mag for an extremely quick shredder
So... The next update will be version 3.0. I don't know about you but it feels really bad when you simply make number jumps like these and barely do something (See: version 2.0 update).

Well, If you look at Warframe.... It isn't weird or bad... but if their next update is going to be just fixes then they shouldn't call it 3.0.

LMG Barrel. Arctyc has all his weapon parts set to Advanced (LV3) though

New pole-dancing taunt. It snaps to the flag in Blitz / Domination !
Pictured Nerd Glasses for Helga. There's also an headband for T-Bone named "Karate man", which sports the japanese flag on it, and the ORGASM DONOR shirt for Axl

A look at your rank, for ranked mode. Ranks are bronze - silver - gold - platinum - blutonium , from lowest to highest
Currently ranked will feature Annihilation and Jackhammer, they want to make these gamemodes rotate
Update is on: [url]http://www.loadout.com/update-3-0-get-ranked/[/url]
If you never liked how the bots can kill you from the other side of the map, well bad news... Now that the bots support Domination and Jackhammer that means now you can play the big maps of the game, so yeah, if you try to sneak to their hammer using the opposite way where they are, they still will spot you and easily kill you, better move fast.
In the other hand, if you manage to take the hammer, you can do just this:

Domination is also kind of meh, the bots go to the same capture point in group, which makes easy keep all the points.
Bots now replace missing players and act as a team filler in Classic
So I was really hyped for the LMG and I'm seriously disappointed. There are so many broken rifle part combos like spooling assault that way outperform it at mid-long range, even though being mid-long ranged is supposed to be it's niche. Also, shield changes that barely fixed half of the problem.

It fires way too slow
Still can't find enjoyment at al, too much bullshit going on
I remember when people used fun combo's, not just "What has the highest dps" and "What can insta-kill"
