Snipers are perfectly fine in public matches and only get better with co-ordination. It is just that they can't be an afterthought like an AP loco can be. If you are worried about getting stuck in a channel you can just take an AP loco with your efficient assault rifle. But you can't just take a sni...

I love the sniper rifles from the sniper pack. The bullets go through shields, and because the guys carrying shields usually have a big red outline around them, it is very easy to headshot them right through their shield. Usually it only takes 2 bullets to put them down. They're pretty effective ag...

dezzmont

I would GWP #1 as the second or first heist you get. The assault pack is really solid. It has really high powered and versatile assault rifles that have the main problem of extreme ammo inefficiency. The grenade launcher however is really good and is a surprisingly good concealable primary if you pr...

dezzmont

Their use of DLC is also interesting as it is very ala-carte. You don't need any of it and you can have a top tier loadout without it. You also can go to all the missions and even join them without owning the DLC or knowing a friend with it. Some DLC has more of an effect on the game than others. Th...

Quit complaining or you will get harm batonned. And when you resist the security officer will adminhelp you.

If you're good at doing combos you can wreck ass in AS2. If not ur gunna get fukt. That may up your damage a ton but ultimately either being able to mix up in order to consistently enter combos or being able to read what your opponent is doing is where the power players are born, depending on the s...

I guarantee you i can beat Miggles or Dezzmont by only pressing square in Persona 4 Arena. I know man. You should go to EVO or something and explain how mashing square is strictly superior to high end fighting game mechanics that prevent any random asshole from showing up and running the tournament...

dezzmont

casual tactics only work against casual players none of the pros mash square because its a shitty combo thats there to use as a crutch its for persona fans so that they can play the story even if they dont like fighters This. If you seriously think button mashing is in any way an optimal strategy y...

I will play you at around 3:30 PM.

The new Heist is also clearly based on Payday 1 style heists: Semi-random objectives revolving around holding out rather than moving bags. In fact there are no bags in either heist. And while the heists are easy something about the AI freaks em out. I would run with pubbies on this one if you don't ...

dezzmont

It is very hard but possible. I have done it exactly once.

dezzmont

The idea is if you can sneak all 3 days, or even two days, you get a stupiditarded stealth bonus.

dezzmont

Well sots 1 kinda cheats by making the available techs random but decisions based on what was feasible to be unlocked for you radically changed play style yeah. That mostly is there to prevent an easy strategy read based on player and prevented you from rushing for a specific tech. You couldn't go ...

dezzmont

The separate day 1 frame heist is really only just there to make it slightly longer to get the difficulty masks I feel. It's just not that great of a heist to be worth doing standalone, but it's nice to have the option I have long held up day 1 Framing as an ideal stealth heist: challenging to actu...

dezzmont

Shadow raid is a stealth heist that is actually fucking fun rather than annoying and pointless like framing frame with 5+ guards, or dull and grindy like any less than 5 guard heist. I thought I may like the new day 1 of framing frame stand alone, and while it is actually fun to play the rewards are...

dezzmont

An0n3 to be fair when I played with you guys the squad lead I was assigned to had no idea what he was doing and was unable to communicate effectively how he wanted his line lined up. And no, that is not a simple order to give in an online game, it is actually a pretty good way to spot someone who ha...

dezzmont

I am more interested in the multiplayer frankly. No X4 is meant to be played alone. SMAC is a fairly weak X4 when played alone, the AI is just terrible and the interesting terraforming options didn't matter with the AI, nor did the balance of psi-traditional-resonance weaponry. Many factions were ri...

dezzmont

From what I read and heard about it, it actually is a decent departure from regular civ. Apparently it is sort of like Endless Space in that the tech tree gets less and less linear as you go up resulting in civilizations playing differently, only the tree is even less linear than Endless space. That...

dezzmont

the thanatos is not for killing people, its a fucking anti-tank gun you basically use it specifically to kill specials (dozers), and sometimes spec ops if you want to use it more liberally at all you need someone with upgraded ammo bags Yep. You absolutely should not touch it outside of pre-mades b...

dezzmont

AP shotguns have a better re-fire rate and ammo pool than all snipers besides the rattlesnake, which they at worst tie with in terms of re-fire rate if you are using a slow shotgun. This makes them better as a general purpose weapon for clearing waves, which is often what you should be using AP roun...

dezzmont

Sorry, I only got through pre-med before dropping out. But seriously, being good at running and short passes is very different than throwing. An elf lineman catching a ball from a thrower at long range only has a 37% chance to actually get that ball with no re-rolls. A catcher has a better chance bu...

dezzmont

Ball handling is different than throwing. The game is more based on rugby than American football. Passing teams are rare and the focus is more on a strong running game. Being a good passing team is hard, many people think elves default to it but the actual chances of catching a pass as an elf withou...

dezzmont

Don't let the whole 'secondary' thing fool you, the locomotive is the best shotgun in the game Definitely is the best one you can start with. Reinfeld has better range which makes it much better with AP slugs though. The idea of secondary vs primary is weird. The idea is less that secondaries are l...

dezzmont

Revolver is ok but for most uses doesn't reward accuracy in the same way other pistols do. Headshots on any pistol other than the starter should kill and if you are firing away at the body the revolver is the last thing you want. It also isn't good for specials. It is good for where you are at but o...

The issue is that while Khemri do fall off compared to chaos and have a bad game, they basically exist to knock other people out of the game pretty early. They have a low chance of winning themselves but absolutely nuke the chances of someone else from orbit. Playing Khemri more than once early in t...

dezzmont

Ghostforcer is the highest damage build possible right now and frankly the ghost tree's early ranks are very large on adding a lot of utility to enforcers, such as increasing their dramatically low speed and pickup rate and allowing them to move faster in cover. Techforcer now is about maximizing yo...

dezzmont

Wait, where did the Scottish female heister get confirmed? Holy shit she is creepy. I have been saying for ages they needed to introduce a psycho class with a female heister and have her be all about just butchering civilians and cops alike to affect the flow of the run, possibly with a warcrime-equ...

dezzmont

Skill revamp is the best fucking thing Jack of all trades is hillariously "Kinda neat" tier in the sense that it doesn't break the game at all. Neither does reloading your turret. The changes to the bomb line of technicians however allows splashing tech without having to get that shitty cr...

Around elves watch yourselves...

dezzmont

I find it interesting that you are focusing on the idea of the AI being an outsider interfering in human conversations and daily life, as I am primarily studying networked communication right now.

dezzmont

Techforcer in the house, pardon me while I do everything that requires you to be alone for 15 minutes without dying. I don't ever use the Car-4 for real missions personally because if I ever want an ammo efficient primary I use shotguns. That said the thing can be modded to become essentially micros...

dezzmont

That seems kind of silly unless akimbo pistols are now purchased separately from single pistols. Honestly the tactical choice between dual wielding and accuracy is enough to carry a class. Any idea what the dragon and jar-head are?

dezzmont

Looks like marksman is no longer the pistol class. Good choice in my opinion as long as they get more late game clearing weapons.

dezzmont

So is this actually going to happen? Last time I tried to contact an0n3 I got snubbed hardcore.

dezzmont

I am ready to stomp some rats any time today.

dezzmont

Lets be real, I have the experience and the clearly raging autism to run an EVE corp but the second i take over I would probably drive everyone out.

dezzmont

The AI as a mechanic would work better if it was some neutral dickish third party rather than being so firmly on the station's side as it currently kind of is. Oh yes, I know that it isn't allowed to let the station harm antags but at the same time it is compelled to allow security to restrain antag...

dezzmont

everything you said is drastic overspeculation and i dont really think it has anything to do with LoL You were directly addressing me with your first point. Then when I pointed out in counter to your point that they were strengthening the comeback mechanics you said anyone who thinks comeback mecha...

dezzmont

Everyone should keep specialties in the back of their mind while doing general skilling. Specialties are not destiny, so if you find out you really hate EWAR or being a sniper you can switch out, cross training happens all the time. It just benefits us as a corp greatly to know what people are inter...

dezzmont

You know how I pointed out how radically overpowered ECM is in small engagements because it lets you totally ruin one ship's ability to fight? Falcon was easily able to lock down most small fleets solo which rendered any other version of EWAR basically obsolete. Why lower tracking range when 2-3 shi...

dezzmont

no honestly if you think that a team who has lost for the entire game and does horribly can actually win just by killing someone on a streak once, youre retarded I agree, luckily your blatant as shit strawman is obvious, because I again never said that. There is a difference between "Killstrea...

dezzmont

Riot manages to handle it. That is just how I see it. They are trying to make Dota flashier and frankly even if Icefrog is more concerned about balance than flash (and frankly from what I have seen he really isn't and seemed more focused on keeping sacred cows in) the fact of the matter is that, yea...

dezzmont

It is because they realize they are losing players to LoL pretty fast, and more importantly they are realizing their not even beating LoL's competitive scene in places like Korea. LoL, despite being simpler, has a stronger focus on keeping the game competitive through the entire game where as in DOT...

dezzmont

EDIT: I just put my rant about the epicness of the drake in a spoiler because I realized most people wont give a shit. The Drake is often regarded as the best mission running ship in the game because it requires almost no skilling to be able to do attrition running and scales fully into "I will...

dezzmont

Ships generally only get stat changes if they literally can't do anything. The drake sees a ton of play without being utterly broken: It is a shield tank that is nearly as slow as a armor plated armor tank, which hampers mission running (If you are solo and looting) and makes PVP harder without flee...

dezzmont

That honestly was challenging and an issue. Its hard to be making safepoints and sweeping the system when people make move orders out of nowhere. And I dropped the ball on giving nav points. While remote FCs are possible, probably even the standard, it requires me to be way more on point and us to b...

dezzmont

I also have good ranks with caldari navy and can take people on L2s and L3s if they have ships for them. Anyone with a ship able to do a L4 in the corp should probably have the ships to run it solo anyway, but we could always gang up for it.

dezzmont

Pretty much in terms of speed vs damage. It is important for the newbies to understand that the Drake is considered one of the most iconic and powerful Caldari ships in the game, people out and out specialize to fly them, they can run L4s breezy with skills and even without skills even a few baby pi...
