I decided to play a few rounds online after not playing for months and wtf, is there no UK servers or players? I get like 1 second lag from all my shots and also what's not helping is being paired up against level 60's as a level 25. It's so dumb, thankfully it seems co op will be the main fun once its out.
Co-op video: http://bit.ly/bJoIj5 Looks awesome except that it doesn't look like the players gained many credits at the end. (42 and 24) Hopefully most games will yield far more credits.
That might be a good thing. Don't think I'd like coop performance to impact single-player skill. Hopefully, there will be dedicated set of leaderboards for coop.
i hope the co op isnt too easy. it will be a real shame if weve waited all this time for another "Bot Mode" full of retarded lazer/rocket/purple ball shooters that can't hit my head.
im pretty sure that vap hes using isn't the vap we have right now. it must be the vap pro. why? 1. He's rank 22 and he has 5 shots. 5 shots doesn't happen until like a rank way past 22. 2. the shots fire a lot faster in succession than even a maxxed vap right now. 3. the beams have a much shorter duration than the beams of a current vap. repulsor anyone?
In response to repulsor... I have no idea about the video, but should I stop upgrading my regular vap and wait to see how good repulsor is so I don't blow my creds on upgrading my vap now?
Just play and the credits will stack up a lot faster than youd think. If i were u id wait for the vap pro (repulsor?) and go with the magrail proto as ur primary until then. Dont waste credits on sprinter unless ur goal is to stay in the top 10. You can easily make it to top 25 w/o it.
Well considering I'm rank 30 with 2500-3000 skill, I think I'm fine Doesn't the proto run out of uses?
Yep! It's definietely worth it though. I have a level 9 at skill 4500 atm. Well now it's level 10....
Can you buy multiple protos? Like if I buy Mag-Rail proto V, could I then buy it again? or does it disappear from the store
Shield Bashing vs Skippy RLer's & hiding Purple ballers Thanks to all of you...when you post good info or funny updates. Seriously. Well, I have to say while I've tried to mostly 'play with honor' in regards to shield bashing, I've decided to play under a new set of rules. Bottom line, whether I'm playing my lvl 8, lvl 14, lvl 30 or lvl 60, two types of 'spammers' have really ruined the game. One is the rocket launching skippy boys. You know, the combo of spamming rocket after rocket in any direction while skipping lightly around in their pink tutu's doing huge ballet leaps. Looks real macho, doesn't it? Way to play...LOSERS. As soon as I hear multiple rockets, I go into Shield bash mode, using the hook, and entirely focused on the RL'er. Second is the purple ball hiders. ANYTIME I see someone playing with one of those, I immediately go into shield bash mode...it's the only way, for instance in Tank, to get down the hallway to even do battle. I've tried to vap them from way outside, but they hide in the corner out of the way and just pump balls down the hall. What the f kind of fun or pride can they get from that? Again, I'll just grab a shield and AVOID anyone else while I hook back down that hallway, etc. I guess I still feel guilty 'converting', but they've really, really, really ruined the game for me now.
each proto has 6 uses. There is no limit on the number of times you can buy it. considering each one costs 94 creds, you can make that back in 2 (or 1 if you're really lucky/good) energized games and still have 4 'free' uses to use for extra creds and skilling-up. long story short, it's well worth the expense.
