Reaper does more damage than Reinhardt at 140 per shot not including headshots, and a headshot from reaper is about on par with a charge.

dezzmont

McCree and Genji are seeing a lot of play from me, but I am doing surprisingly well on Tracer despite being trash with her during the beta.

Of course I am best on Reaper.

dezzmont

Damn fun as an MP mechanic though.

dezzmont

Also always be the first to change to a needed role, you should never ask someone else to switch before you would, unless its an obvious 'well we have 4 snipers' issue, and if that is the case just ask once and take the loss if they don't swap. Also, always lead by example, and play roles that encou...

Alpha Centauri was a breakthrough for introducing heavy story elements into the x4 genre, with each faction having major development as the game progresses through technology and wonder unlocks. The ability to terraform was also really unique as it allowed you to both do things like salvage a poor s...

Mmmmm yes more Twilight Imperium please

We still need to set up a time to get people to play that.

dezzmont

When I try to organize shit people tell me to piss off.

I asked you if you wanted to play too.

dezzmont

I love the beta statistic that high noon came about 5.7 million times per-day. That is 10 McCree ults a second.

Also, 10 minutes, everyone panic!

dezzmont

Fastest is too fast. You would want to cruise at fast once people get set up with their initial empire, and normal for times where precision is needed.

The alternative is people pausing every 5 seconds.

dezzmont

Spritualist is good. A bonus to how happy your race is can be read as a bonus to habitability, and all of the spiritualist governments are rather good, encouraging a stronger early game through as well as extending how long you can take advantage of early game efficiency. I still think materialists ...

dezzmont

I am down to give it a go.

dezzmont

I think it has more to do with the fact the world's history recently had a massive war against what was essentially a small scale Eclipse Phase TITAN rebellion, and most of the characters with replacement limbs are either veterans of that war or in the case of Junkrat directly affected by it. The od...

dezzmont

You could play for that mysterious buzzword called 'fun.'

I find the best thing to do with sectors is to plop every type of building you want where you want it at level 1 and then turn them into a sector. I think the reason sector policy is stupid may be that they won't build new buildings if you don't allow redevelopment. Once you pre-build everything the...

Also the Commando's thing is holding the enemies back with stuns/freezes/knockback and slowly but surely beating them down with FMJ and spray and pray. He's got crowd control power equaling the loader and acrid Acrid is not known for his crowd control, he is a nuker who can literally deal so much d...

dezzmont

I would rate An0n3's preformance as engineer, on a scale of 1-10, as Marcoss.

dezzmont

Maybe. Early on its best to not kite too much and use your abilities instead to push enemies back, so you never get super stacks. It also helps you buy your first few items which usually rapidly increase your killing power on commando, who does well even with low tier items such as the knife. If you...

dezzmont

I think sacrifice works directly against the game design. The point is you aren't really supposed to stick around. Command is a really good artifact though, especially for coop. I don't mind the randomness in single player, but it makes it so playing a specialized character in co-op a lot more relia...

dezzmont

I am down, but I may have to unlock everyone again.

dezzmont

while there basically isn't a heavy in this game save for maybe Bastion. Oh come on, there's a big russian who has a point and click damage beam just like heavy That's got to be the most obvious direct comparison Sure, it's an energy beam, but she's still slow as shit and just clicks people to dama...

dezzmont

As far as i can see looks fun. What character would you suggest for a valve style shooter player? manly GO. Soldier 76 Looks good for mag dump jungler, taking risky picks on low hp pool supports, with front-line support powers for when you need to move the cart or something. Mercy looks like the fi...

dezzmont

Perhaps giving ships a combat doctrine when they are designed so they will attempt to move to a certain range would make fights better. Range is actually an interesting system in space combat games because it helps force a combined arms strategy, but if it doesnt function well it adds nothing. Makin...

It's another "An0n3 and dezzmont argue about the meta in a videogame like spergs" episode Hey, I enjoy our spergy debates. Sometimes you even beat some sense into me, like how I put like 15 single heatsinks on a centurion in MWO. I think you have a real point in terms of him really not be...

dezzmont

McCree isn't all that bad. He rewards you a lot for being able to land headshots consistently at medium range and does have a better optimal range than most other attackers. Genji and Soldier outrange him obviously, but he has the flashbang combo which lets him instantly kill anyone from point blank...

dezzmont

On top of that he is also one of the characters who has a 1v1 "I win" vs Tracer and Reaper. His rockets on a direct hit kill almost all flankers.

dezzmont

I am not talking about being up in their face, he just doesn't work as a sniper at the ranges people often try to to play him. There is a point where your DPS gets lower than Widowmaker just waiting for 100% charge each time because of arrow travel time. Hanzo is about, sometimes, just not aiming an...

dezzmont

Bastion is a builder in my opinion, just a poorly designed one. The builder's role is to strongly punish teams from moving into an area without a coordinated effort to shut down what the builder set up. Snipers do have area denial but their job is more about being profoundly hard to kill and being g...

Buck getting grenades and IQ now getting 100% gadget information are huge deals. It basically plucks them from the garbage bin and makes them really god damn strong. Buck needed frags bad because his only contribution to his team was a good gun, with a specialized function attached, which Glaz alrea...

Main ways to die to ghost dragon: 1: Be retarded and just run into it just flat out because you have such poor situational awareness even a lone Soldier distracts you from the world around you. 2: Get hit with a crowd control ulti 3: Die because you were busy in a pitched 5v5 running gunfight and th...

Anyone planning to stream this game?

dezzmont

Zarya is actually my favorite character. She is an interesting take on the giant Russian lady in that she has a sense of humor and is like, actually really funny and nice if you listen to her voice lines.

dezzmont

I likewise threw mine in. Figured we will see how good a peaceful science rush is.

dezzmont

An0n3 has already like... actually legally married Mercy I think, so Mei is out of luck there.

dezzmont

Don't give her the cold shoulder An0n3. She may take a while to warm up to but she also has supportive abilities if you can figure out how to bring down those barriers keeping things cold between you.

And my check hasn't cleared. Lovely.

Whelp hopefully this won't be a one off game. Mind if I design a race to drop in with?

dezzmont

So an interesting thing about being a xenophile and slavery. The way happyness works, and the way slavery works, means that xenophiliac species often will be astoundingly unhappy as slaves, because there are only two real ways to play a slavery species: Xenophobia or collectivism. Because xenophobia...

dezzmont

I can't pre-order but I will grab this in a few days.

dezzmont

I am acceptable as a sniper, and am rather good on offense, so I don't mind stepping back and letting others tank.

Trust me, it doesn't, and I wish it did.

dezzmont

Yeah. That said if you are aware of Mei as reinhart you twoshot her with a hammer before she freezes you.

Like the pyro, she is all about superior map awareness.

dezzmont

I can do 6. I can be our tank or an offense character. You can't do jackshit against Mei as Reinhardt if nobody on your team is supporting you. Reinhardt, like most tanks, can't do anything without team support. Roadhog and D.va aren't really tanks so much as super tanky defense and offense characte...

Another cool thing about Overwatch is that pretty much every character is really really really god damn cool. There isn't any character I think is just lame, except maybe Winston, and even he is strong, he just doesn't get a lot of play variety. I like all of these characters and want to play as all...

dezzmont

Lucio is deceptively strong in a fight too. He is one of the most agressive and hard to kill supports in the game, especailly in an open space. His ulti is boring as shit though. Genji's reflect is good but he also hits like a truck in ranged, and is one of the tougher offense characters. He just is...

dezzmont

Holy shit someone likes Winston?

He is strong AF but a lot of people think he is boring to play. He is god tier in payload maps though.

dezzmont

Try playing a high impact defender character like Bastion or a really awesome tank like Roadhog. A lot of new players gravitate towards the attackers, but while their ability to skirmish and flank hard into the enemy team is great, the defenders and tanks are the real guys who have the playmaker abi...

dezzmont

Main downside with the SMG is the fact that its kill potential per-clip is startlingly low. Its great for solo roaming but your pistols and knives start to be more appealing when you and 2 friends preform the assassination on the medic cluster in a big fight. Good infiltrators should learn the knife...

dezzmont

I have characters on all 3 factions with VS as my main. Holy fuck I am bad with NC guns. I could give you some pointers in VR. Its not too hard, just ease off the trigger, and never ever ever shoot from the hip unless you are crazy close. Ideally you will get to the point where you can reset spread...

dezzmont

Sent, I am dezzmont#1606. I am torn between the fact Reinhart is generally better than D.va and Zarya in pubs and the fact that Reinhart and Winston are boring as shit to play. Zarya is amazing but she definitely doesn't play like a regular tank and I don't think the game does enough to really encou...
