first

Second! I'm happy about the terrain thing, and also about the VR target thing, that was pissing me off for a while...

[Incompetent]

Shit, i need to test out the new DC.

[Rbstr]

cool, that patch was done amazingly fast

[Spee]

DC - Needs a buff to its TTK. MCG kills faster when its locked down. Dat just a'int right, Jeb.


Lancer v2.0 - OMG. Expect to see a LOT more lancers on the field. The COF bloom is nearly non-existant, even when strafing, and, when stationary, has absoloutly no cof. w00t for the AV sniper rifle.


Pounder - Fires at pre-bp pounder rates, but has an INSANE distance. Seriously. I could hit mountains in the far back of the VR training area, could use a small buff to ROF/TTK.

Good patch.

No AI max kills faster than a HA weapon. Why should the DC be any different?

Shhh. You're making me wrong. :p




(I havnt tested the other empires' AI MAX Vs. thier HA weapon. Just figured it would be faster, is all.)

[Incompetent]

My god i want uni-max, the pounder fucking owns, and i'll finally be able to use my del/harrasser without running for ammo every 30 seconds.

[Vick]

New pounder sounds lame.

[martyr]

the thresher does some wonky things now (can drive on its side), but they fixed the hover-vehicle damage, it seems, so that's happy... lasher's super-fun, and i've never seen so many phoenixes or lancers. wow.

If i'm reading correctly there were no changes to the burster? PRAISE THE LORD!!!

Smoke has already stated it just won't make it into this patch, but it is still coming. I can't believe the TR get 2 MAXs buffed, and receive a nerf only to the AI portion of their AA MAXs and still they complain.

[Jagd]

That didn't sound like a complaint to me...

He's already made his thoughts well known on the topic.

One thing I was hoping for was a buff for the chain guns on the prowler but to no avail oh well maybe next patch they will actually make them usefull as aa for the prowler

[FireWolf22]

They gave them more ammo. They are ai weapons anyway not aa. The vanguard 25mm can't pitch high enough to even get to a reavor so they are useless to aa. They need to retorque the vanny and prowler anyways.

I hear peeps bitching already, but let me tell you something. The mag doesn't stop when it mows infantry. The prowler and vanny are pretty close on this one. The vanny gets it worse 'cause you can't even drive up a 25% hill faster than 25, if you are you can't turn. If you try and turn the vanny on a hill then you drop to 0 if moving slower than 15. Then you start this jittering if you are trying to drive forward and turn. Because it's trying to go forward, but the turning is causeing you to stop. I seen a Vanny when I was playing TR on markov at hossin base on cyssor stuck on a 4 ft bump in the ground down toward the water. Playing NC on Emerald, have traded my vanny for other things because of this. You can't even mow a infantry in the old rexo at 35 kph and when you hit you come to a dead stop. Sorry it's a damn tank live with the ability of it being able to run you over and you turn into this greeze spot on the terrain.

[Queensidecastle]

I tried this out this morning. Its really badass to spawn a Thresher and have 900 ammo. Now if they could just totally redesign the weapon from the ground up so that it doesnt suck :D

[Hamma]

Interesting patch, hopefully the lancer will be tweaked more before the final patch. The thing is a bit too uber now :\

[Skullhead]

I like the DC max now and with the faster 'lockdown' it is just great.. The new pounder is an excellent Tower supression weapon. if anyone is out there testing out the new pounder I ask if they can use the lazer spotting thingy with the pounder and get accurate support from a distance. Personal shield is great, Increased ammo is exceptional. Definatly see an increase in the lancer and lasher usage.

Finially things that are useful..

[Veteran]

Looks like another campaign of VS playing enemy empires to force buffs for themselves has come to a close.

Works every time.

[EarlyDawn]

I think the lancer is fine. Keep in mind that's what most were certing, while Test server Terrans certed at least one MAX. It would appear overpowered, but it's just the arms composition on the test server.
