Looking at it again, perhaps remove a bunch of the "shipping crates" and small skiffs and overall bring the focus of the map very much in on spawning close to the main skiff and fighting over it. For the sake of framerate. (My framerate drops as low as 85 just looking at it myself, so I assume...

@Langerd Sweet, just downloaded it and brought it up locally, looks really cool in terms of both layout and visuals, but I will say my framerate drops quite a lot when I look over the map from a distance, and when I was flying around in spectator at certain angles I could see visuals popping in...

In many imaginable situations, especially 1v1s, the combination of clone's speed advantage and ion's huge explosion radius means a clone can charge the ion while in cover and then chase down the enemy gunner (even behind cover, remember: speed advantage + explosion radius) and zap em. Ions are...

While working on something, I just went and idled in an empty server, and then forgot I had the game up. When I came back, there were 4 other people there. Pretty good for taking almost no effort. :p That being said, I have no idea why I wasn't auto-kicked by the server for idling. I know...

There's an entirely separate saber (dueling) beta which is somewhat stealthily proliferated by Tempest (I guess). He sends a link to a google drive of files. You could probably get into it if you asked him directly on Discord or something. Although maybe I'm wrong about that and he's actually...

@Blazer Third option: Join an empty, good-ping server with a map rotation you like, and either just wait for more people to join, or recruit people to help you populate it. I've had good results with this, although sometimes (depending on the time of day and what other servers are available and...

"Still"? Do you mean "still" relative to Live, or just in the Beta (thanks to the 75% duration)? Cuz in Live they're not worthless against gunners at all. (derp, didn't mean to double post, zoned out) Also, I may be misunderstanding the nature of the linear function... but... couldn't it...

@Liniyka_xddd @k4far my bad for saying such confident things about this drop's FP drains without experiencing them myself, didn't realize anything had been changed that would result in a dramatic difference relative to the last drop.

Hell no, because (as I also just wrote in Discord), there was some other hidden IDR-related logic for blocking, that basically got removed in favor of making the code simpler. At least that's my fuzzy understanding based on Tempest's explanations. Live's block multiplier is 0.5x, and could be...

Sometimes I look at the UM, CMP, and movie map packs and think "what the hell was the MB2 modding scene like when these were being made, holy moly." Would be interesting if the mapping scene ever got revitalized. (That basically counts as modding, this isn't a tangent, I swear.)

aiming pull isn't terribly hard in my experience, you shouldn't need to spam pull just to hit it, this is just a nerf to the tactic of repeatedly pulling someone. Now, if you pull someone and they tank it, they're free to dash away for a moment instead of being almost immediately at risk from...

Haha, thanks for listing the changes relative to the previous version Tempest :D I changed the "code" label to a "quote" in my quote of you above cuz quotes easier to read (no horizontal scrollbars) edit: Now for actual reactions to the changes... Sprint sounds thoroughly fixed, I'll thoroughly...

Using forums for this kind of on-the-spot thing is kind of arduous though. Better to use a Discord. But @everyone is disabled on the official MB2 discord, so you can't just blast everyone with a "anyone wanna come populate ____?" So one plausible route would be to start another Discord server...

^ which is why I tend to idle in servers, and why I made a post (at the end of page 2 of this thread) arguing for just getting a bunch of people (forum-goers, clan members...) to boycott 24/7. With enough boycotters we could easily regularly get 4-5 people into a rotation server, and then it'd...

When I made the few custom icons for the BasePack (for Boba and the ARC replacement mercenary leader guy), I just opened the model.glm in modview and then played the animations until it got a pose I liked, then screenshotted that (adjusting angle and zoom first, of course). Same "greenscreen"...

I'm all for player freedom, but I will say I don't like the choices the big blob of free people are making, and effort COULD be taken to change the habits of that big blob. The big blob makes its choices unconsciously after all. A large portion of the big blob is people who WOULD play rotation...

hoo hoo hooooooo from what I know of the stuff that's being aimed to be released before/around Solo (May 25), these statements seem very silly. Gun v Saber overhaul, dueling overhaul, a motherfucking tutorial... (Not sure if the balance overhauls are explicitly planned to release before Solo...

Valid enough complaint although I think you're being a little melodramatic about it, but maybe you're right. Maybe someone should make some kind of effort to convene some kind of high council of server owners (including TR and AOD,) and try to get all of them to make some kind of humanitarian...

Are you aware of the big FP drains (as in shot blocking) spreadsheet that Mace and Tempest (or maybe just Tempest) have been working on? It's based on the actual code logic and shows all the gritty detail. But FP drains are also being revised and somewhat simplified in the next patch.

I'd argue these should be referred to as FP Costs, not Drains. "FP Drains" in my mind are for blocking shots.
