@ Kaeru - My LAV adventures may be short-lived. I've skilled several million SP into them now, but I'm beginning to wonder if I wouldn't have been better off in a Rail Tank.

[...]

In your opinion, am I looking at this wrong? Is it safe to assume that LAV-work is intended to be a two-man job?

I'm more excited about Dishonored 2. Sexy animations? Female protag? Woohoo, count me in.

I just hope they polish the game up a bit, Dishonored 1 had so much potential but I feel like the weak story really held it back.

I picked up the Quafe Methana BPO in a tenbox the other day - also put SP into REs. I've realised I can now LAV-bomb vehicles for pretty much nothing...is that still something that works? I never tried it...but might be good for trolling stompers.

Hey shotty remember how dragon age inquisition was meh for you.
Get witcher 3.... My god its better than dragon age origins!

I could see a break coming up soon.
The lag is real. The lag is frustrating.

Thanks for the input, Duncan! Can't tell you the last time I saw a Jihad Jeep; I suspect that they don't work as well as they used to. Spitballing:

LAV HP nerf = easier to pop a JJ on approach than before
RE damage nerf = now need more REs than before
Bandwidth = can't pile on as many REs as before
Packed REs = insufficient blast radius (have not tested)

Did see that LAV video, btw (those turds nuked me with that damn thing ).

Hey don't know if it has been discussed already but I watched the entire Bethesda E3 presentation live (gotta love a lax work environment, sat watching it in the office).

I've posted it in a new E3 thread in the offshore rig for discussion (along with other E3 news) in the Video Games general discussion room.

For those residents here who can't access the offshore rig, here's the link.
The first 23 minutes are just pre-show.

Geez I really don't visit this place any more do I... >1,000 notifications.

On one hand I can stay up late and watch XCOM2 gameplay, on the other I can not be exhausted for an exam I need to carry my grade.

Hm. Choices, choices.

Doom :-)

[...]

True story - my little brother and I were kids when the original DOOM came out. Dad said we were allowed to play it as long as we didn't use the chainsaw. Lmao. We played the hell out of that game.

Snapmap seems cool. Completely forgot about the old Doom wads. Do you guys remember the one with the pinup model pictures all over the place? (Laughing) To you younglings, this was pre-internet; adult content was way tougher to get ahold of back then. Naughty pics built into a video game was a pretty big deal!

There's no choice there - just a mistake.

I'm good at those.

Hah I was visiting a mate at Portsmouth Uni for reading week - his mate had a Packard Bell PC and we were all taking turns to play Doom on it. I just remember the shotgun and the pink monsters. So yeah that must've been like...I dunno - mid 90s.

ill squad with ya and test this if you want ....

Dreis might've been about this whole no-squad bug. I've played 4 Ambush matches in a row, and 2 of them were fairly close fights. 50% decent match quality in Ambush is an extraordinarily good rate. If this keeps up for another match or two, I'll have to activate some boosters, grab some beers, and grind some SP for my new LAV.

@ Kaeru!

Can now fit an Enhanced Damage Amp and a Complex Heat Sync on my Watch Saga. I don't know if this is good or not, but I'm really excited about it.

The same as everywhere else in the world?

Unless video game console demolition is some sort of cultural festival I don't know about.

@ Prophet - Lol

@ Kaeru - My LAV adventures may be short-lived. I've skilled several million SP into them now, but I'm beginning to wonder if I wouldn't have been better off in a Rail Tank. Here's my current loadout, which I'm now piloting with a Dren Sentinel (damn snipers):

Ishukone Watch Saga (~100k)
HS: Basic Heavy Shield, Complex Damage Amp, Complex Heat Sync
LS: Complex PG
PW: Advanced Small Rail (can fit proto with one more point invested in Damage Amp fitting optimization)

I have to get pretty close to my targets to put damage on them. Closer than I'd originally expected (which is probably good balance-wise). Once in range, the little rail hits pretty hard, but I'm a sitting duck while I operate it and I'm on the ground ... so blueberries are as a big a problem as reds. So far I've killed a handful of infantry (mostly Scouts), one HAV (which was engaged by another) and I've almost crashed a couple dropships; this thing is really good at running off dropships. What I'm thinking, though, is that everything I've done would've been done with greater efficiency and less risk/headache had I been in a Rail Tank.

Gladius C-1 (~300k)
HS: Basic Heavy Shield, Basic Light Shield Booster, Cmp Damage Amp (x2), Cmp Heat Sync
LS: Cmp CPU, Basic Heavy Plates
PW: Advanced Large Rail

I get the feeling I'm not expressing myself very well, sorry about that.

Oh oh ! One more thing..

For the longest time, when I was trying to figure this stuff out, I would spawn every match in my vehicle of choice off the bat. I ended up creating extra frustration for myself because quite simply, not every match NEEDS whatever I was bringing out. I didn't think enough about what I was doing, just that I would start with X and feel it out, whether it was useful or not. Then I'd get busy with infantry and die to AV before I even got to do anything I deemed useful.

and one more "one more thing!"

My absolute preferred method for busting tanks is an Incubus. I mention this as a disclaimer. I don't want to over-hype any single style of vehicle, they're all good in their own ways and I certainly don't want to steer you wrong. I encourage you to try them all a bit before investing any more than you have !

[...] and as much determination as stupidity

Also, you don't give yourself enough credit ! It's called tenacity ! :D

Did you see that thing!?!?

You can put an android or iPhone in and get an app and its a real working Pip Boy!

Best. Collector Edition. Ever.
