Wanna share bliz tags?

Just set up waypoints to start learning to judge distance, then figure out how far down on your screen the bullet drops at that distance.

Unless you are firing at comical ranges you don't really ever need to compensate very much anyway.

dezzmont

It is not, the railjack lets you ignore bullet drop (a non-issue if you understand how much your bullet will drop) in exchange for a delay on your shot that can't be compensated for on an unpredictable target. You can of course try to lead your target during the shot rather than ahead of time with i...

Roadhog is is an awesome character but he isn't anything like Reinhart or Winston. I have lost games because our main tanks were roadhogs, he can secure kills real easy but if the team has a halfway compitent builder and offense characters you almost need one of those two. Even D.va can in theory fl...

dezzmont

Ah, strongest as in best, not strongest as in resistant to damage.

dezzmont

No tank has higher side armor than front armor. The damage resistance of the side armor is 3% lower than the front armor on a vanguard. The reason many solo tank players go with side facing is because the loss is not significant compared to a better ability to line up shots and dodge fire, not becau...

dezzmont

Love the pulp adventure meets hardsuit cyberpunk thing it has going. It is neat seeing a non-gritty scifi setting for a change and it does make you feel like you are really globetrotting about. I like D.VA. She can really make those MLG clutch plays with her knockback, the self destruct, and the fac...

dezzmont

LAs have always had shotguns which if I remember right do damage through tank armor You remember wrong. Shotguns are a pretty ineffective anti-infantry weapon as well, and only really mesh well with drifter LAs, which are not popular. Most LAs who want to fight load up their faction's carbine and p...

dezzmont

Another big reason was that LAs didnt really have anything working for them when Infis had c4.

dezzmont

Infiltrators have absolutely no anti-max tools, they lack C4.

dezzmont

The SMGs aren't good outside of organized play, they let you assassinate one newbie maybe in skirmishes.

dezzmont

NC inarguably has higher skill cap firearms. Yeah, like every faction we have low skill firearms, but our good firearms both give you more for what you know how to do and are harder to use. It doesn't mean that the faction uses them well, on emerald we do have a problem with NC teamplay and a lot of...

dezzmont

So what is Vanu good at then? Most Vanu weapons worth using are good at any range and are a reasonable middleground between the TR's ease of use and NC's higher skillcap, resulting in them generally just doing pretty well. Their vehicles are mostly the best in the game for general use, the magrider...

dezzmont

Again, I am diagnosing you retarded, because the decimator kills all MBTs in 6-5 shots, not 2 and 3.

dezzmont

Sure, but that's a pretty significant imbalance in skill required to deploy vs. skill required to counter. Just because it's possible to counter it doesn't mean it's balanced. Pretty much the only reason why TR is still relevant. Its guns are the actual COD moron guns that reward you for mindlessly...

dezzmont

I have to admit, I am interested to see how the game is once I'm back on a PC in over a month's time even if I couldn't get on at the same time as all of you. I am still leery of prowlers and I don't want to think about light assault C4. How do outpost (the tall places with landing pads?) and base ...

dezzmont

While you should dig long shafts, be aware ore appears in veins within stone layers. So you should make exploratory horizontal shafts when you hit new rock layers.

dezzmont

NC medics, light assaults, and engineers don't have their optimal starting weapons, but for engineer and medic you have radically better upgrade options than a weapon, and light assaults are a really poor class to start on and the NC upgrade is cheap anyway. Only faction I played was Vanu. How are t...

dezzmont

Also if you play mostly infantry and dont care about fancy vanity sidearms you can go completely free to play without really caring. Sure, the crossbow pistol is sorta cool but it isnt seriously used, NC starts with most of its top tier weapons already for its primary combat classes.

dezzmont

But will insane people babble at me about dreams while I desperately try to mind control people by hacking their cellphones?

dezzmont

The value of goldcrafts is more for native gold. If you have it, it basically is as common as rocks. In terms of importing gold the main value is weight. While gold is somewhat heavy, it still is a really 'dense' trade good in terms of value to weight, so if you are buying a lot of supplies it may b...

dezzmont

The Valkyrie is good, but the people inside it won't really get a lot of action without lockon rockets, and those aren't going to do you a lot of good if you fly that close. It is designed for hotdrops of light and heavy infantry, which are actually pretty devistating, or as an alternate heavy infan...

dezzmont

The A-tross and the Reaper DRM are your long range options.

dezzmont

I think that the Walker may be a better top gun for stand off sniping in the vanguard. Despite my higher muzzle velocity I was still not really able to control the increased spread of the enforcer. The enforcer is a beast of a gun when you mix up in close range, and the walker can shred through infa...

dezzmont

Gold and Brass (which is made of copper and zinc) are really useful for if you have good metalcrafters, as the craftsmanship multiplies the value of the material to determine final object value, and that helps with trade as well as getitng more migrants and advancing your fort. So as long as you can...

dezzmont

Heavy might work, depends on how easy ANTs are too take down. If that doesn't work light assaults with c4 can also handily take em out I would think, we could just hack up an infantry console. Gunna just drive about and be one of those LEL EPIC INFI FLANKERS to get my feet wet, just to make sure I d...

dezzmont

I have to drop both games. Sorry, just can't keep up with it on the day to day for right now.

dezzmont

I got a cloaky flash I used for c4 tank hunting if you want to poke at anthills.

dezzmont

Have fun losing I guess.

dezzmont

Yomi get yourself at least some front line troops to tarpit for a few turns! Any blob large enough to survive for 1 turn during the initial contact actually delays enemy troops by a bit more than that, because it takes a bit for the enemy to pile in effectively. So even if the troops can't get kills...

dezzmont

Revealing my pretender would tip my hand too much. I have made a few non-standard choices, though I am sure if you reverse engineer my pretender titles you could figure out a few of my magic paths. Also, as the god of unnatural lust I demand you draw out foreplay and get really weird. Work vine shie...

dezzmont

I could explain to you in PM why you might be in error, we are essentially allies now.

dezzmont

Sure, if you wish to believe my troops are bad and thus you could rush me down, who am I to correct you?

dezzmont

A real philanthropist you are. Meanwhile I outright gave up a throne to keep the game fun for our latejoin. So really I say we just give me a 50 turn pass on any invasions.

dezzmont

I have the capability to craft blood collars, all pan actually get blood in EA, though I am not running mercenaries this early, because, you know, Pangaea, why the fuck do I need mercs?

dezzmont

Is this an MP game? A common trick with merc mages is to give them a slave collar on parting to ruin them for others after you get what you need.

dezzmont

Its also obvious that the differences in timezones makes things weird, because when the file gets uploaded has been rotating around times, which is pretty normal.

Blitzes do go much faster regardless though.

dezzmont

Abysia.

dezzmont

Is this a blitz?

dezzmont

Ctis has poor innate researchers but as one of the few legitimate early age death nations they can von neumann the shit out of their mages.

I basically don't have any sites, and this map is really light on forrests so I am in a bit of a pickle long term despite how strong I am early game.

dezzmont

Hey man, when I invaded you I thought you were an AI!

I will gladly channel myself downwards to avoid conflict. Give me a sec to pull out.

dezzmont

Hey Athena. You murin?

dezzmont

Lets not underestimate their magical paths though. And they are naturally very good at fighting astral nations and death nations due to their magic resistance.

dezzmont

I am going to woo the shit out of Athena! Truce?

dezzmont

Pangaea here. Hoping that my lovely bubbly neighbors will want to stay lovely and bubbly and not try to surface at this moment.

dezzmont

Maybe they died.

dezzmont

I had to move today and didn't see you would be starting, is it too late to join in? It is hard to tell with llama server.

dezzmont

I am down as well if you have room!

dezzmont

The update is about reducing meaningless grind by having a new character who can get you insane stacks of loot if you are willing to go with a party of 3, and allowing more even high end squad replacement without spending years leveling up. That said the new class isnt completely worthless in a figh...

dezzmont

It is a space sim. So basically trade, fight, explore, mine/loot whatever you find, which primarly got itself attention by having a more detailed set of worlds than most other space sims. In most space sims planetary systems don't really matter that much save for perhaps the tags that apply to it su...
