/tfg/ - Titanfall General

to be honest I think the only reason overwatch has a 'diverse' cast is in order to throw the scent off having at least 4 female player characters wearing skintight bodysuits

based

Plzno. I like my robo tiddies.
They're literally making waifu's and husbando's. They gotta do something to make it seem like they aren't making batefuel.

>this isn't the female model for cloak

i'd phase inside that

The game is fueled off dressing up girls and SFM porn, Blizzard knows exactly what they're doing.

They had to have a model that shows all bodytypes can be high-speed low-drag effective combat units despite their BMI(which is just a number!).

stay away shes mine

I think moreso was that they were trying to make the pilots as distinquishable as possible, this is why the female/male models are almost the same on most pilot models.

They clearly wanted you to be able to easily tell what tactical a pilot is using at a glance, even when it's A-Wall/Cloak that are quite similar, they're still pretty easy to distinquish.

>I'd murder that girl from another dimension by teleporting inside of her, exploding her like a meat balloon

Jesus dude

>not liking that

>tfw you'll never be a full body prosthetic

Do you think they need sleep? How often do they need a recharge? Or are they nuclear powered and they basically never need a recharge? Do you live forever if you're in this full body prosthetic? Is your aim perfect?

I wish I could put my mind in a FAST robot body, it would be so radical.

But you can tell that from the heads and neon bright visors.
Not that user but you need to stop. I have a wedding to go to and dress pants weren't doing me favors before, but now i'm just screwed.

The Necrons would disagree user, sure you can go fast but you no longer have a soul. There's no speed limits in Heaven.

Not sure about the rest but they probably don't need sleep just some basic maintenance. They're not brains in jars, they're the memories, knowledge, and experience downloaded to a robot body.

Ash, for example, got fucked up pretty bad when she was a pilot so a lot of her memories were lost but they downloaded what they could.

What is the soul though? How do you think transfering your mind to the full body prostehtic would feel like? Would it be like going to sleep and then waking up in a new body, or would your consciousness as you know it shut down and be reborn in the new body? At that point would it still be you? Would you die in the process only to have a carbon copy of your mind be implanted into the robot body?

If memes are the DNA of the soul, what is the soul of DNA?

>thinking machines have souls just because they're made of organic molecules instead of inorganic molecules
You militia-men lose more braincells every Regeneration, i fucking swear.

Not to get too woo-woo but it might not even end up being 'you' judging by it, but by all practical means, it simply wouldn't matter to anyone, including you, either way.

They're pretty much recovered memories from pilots that couldn't afford to be lost due to their skill/experience etc. Pilots which are just 2good2lose.

Short answer is we don't know.
Long answer is we don't even know what consciousness is outside of nebulous definitions so, we don't know.

It'd be a cool alternative to just dying though, If we can simulate a human brain to a T I'd say that simulated brain is a human regardless of it's chassis.

>memes are the DNA of the soul
WhyRobot up in here.

Tone new skin leaked!

Who knows. Theres probably some lag-time from your perception going from a brain to a computer so maybe its like coming-to from being unconscious, just a clear line from point A to B and no feeling of lost time unlike sleep.
We don't know what the process entails but if its just a download of info you wouldn't die. They'd just being making a new (You) and popping it into a robot. Your actual brain death is probably going to happen so the original (You) will die cause they only do this to pilots that got all fucked up. I don't get why they don't just make 80 billion copies of the best pilot ever but, again, the process isn't really explained so maybe they need a fresh brain to make a decent copy of.

Excuse me

It's TONE not TAU-N

>No Imperial Knight Titan

IT'D BE SO GOOD GIANT CHAINSWORDS HHHNNGGG

nothing to update, it all still works fine

Cool so I can put my mind in a badass robot body right? Tubular.

Titans are different. They are only capable of rudimentary AI, although it is capable of some learning.

were those changes made in yesterdays patch?

yes

nice, gonna have to dust off the EPG

No. Those buffs came in the January server patch.

Didn't they nerf devotion and hemlock?

Yes, both Devotion and Hemlock were nerfed. Devotion's damage tapers off at long range, and it has more recoil to fight. Hemlock can no longer kill you in a single burst to the body.

Day one impressions say the Devotion STILL isn't nerfed enough.

Firerate is king. Devotion will never be bad unless they increase the windup time substantially.

They "nerfed" them in the smae vein that they "nerfed" tone.
Not enough to actually matter.

...

No, the Tone nerfs are noticeable. Salvo Core is much weaker, and you can't goose as reliably.

>Are the new faction leader intros be silent half the time?
It depends. I played a couple of rounds today with Vinson dynamics. So far, I've spotted 3 different intros: the clasic one, an alternate one and one where she just points with her hand towards the battlefield. In the alternate one, she stood up, put here hands together and said "Vinson Dynamics thanks you for your work,"

FROTHY JUST MADE A """MASTERING TONE"""" VIDEO REEEEEEEEEE

>the new intros are just silent pointing
I haven't seen anything like that rip

The anti-tone shit is old. It's really not specifically better than the others; any time the enemy has half-decent players, their titans do fine against tone. Suck it up and learn to counter.

I'm pretty sure the new intros are just the beta intros.

So? It's basically his job at this point to report on the different aspects of the game. How's he going to do that by skipping one of the titans?

>silent pointing
I'll upload barker's new ones in a bit, I'm mobile now.

It's not that it's difficult to counter. It's that it's so fucking easy for shitters to use to farm the other shitters on my team. They can have no effort to score well.

I roast Tones on the daily, but those tones blast the shit out of /adv/ on my team every match.

>not better than the others
RT, RT, RT, RB
Press Core button to win

And that's not a bad thing. Devotion is still good, but so are a bunch of other guns now, and all of them are fully capable of killing enemy Pilots. Some are slightly stronger than others, but none of them are truly useless, like pre-buff Spitfire was.

The ones I've gotten for Blisk are:
>Classic
>Pointing with Knife while saying "You kill me, you're bettah; I kill you, I'm bettah"
>Pointing alone

lately all ive played is softball, cold war and epg. im looking to add a new weapon into my rotation. already tried the mastiff, but it just doesnt feel right. what would be a good weapon based on what ive been playing?

is the double take any fun? the gun looks cool, but i think ive read that its damage is inconsistent similar to the mastiff, since its actually 3 projectiles instead of 2. other than the doubletake, i dont have any ideas on what to level next.

The Double Take is basically a semi-auto Kraber. There's some finagling about how it uses three projectiles (two visible and one invisible in the middle), but don't worry about that so much. Just know that you're effectively trading the Kraber's one-hit-kills-anywhere behavior for semi-auto fire.

Post either playlists or songs. Keep the speedy music rolling in.

SMR maybe? I also like running with the Wingman Elite as if it was my primary.

Basically this, though I don't have the issue as much because I mostly play stacked, when I play solo I notice it's always one or two tones on the enemy teams whos players are absolute dogshit but since they have Tone they just wreck the other ADVs on my team who are either not in a titan yet or using anything other than tone.

The problem with Tone is that it's TOO EASY TO USE, not that it's "too strong". I'd say Ion and Scorch can be stronger than Tone when played correctly.

But yeah it's just annoying that [RDDT] iLoveDevotion blocks your teams path with his Tone and just shitfucks other shit players with zero effort.

i was gonna try that, but im total shit with anything that has a small hitbox. if its the same size/similar to the wingman elite hitbox, ill never be good with it. thanks for the suggestion though.
is it fun? i rememer some user a few months ago doing mspaint drawings on how to get kills with ricochet(shooting the ground behind the pilot rather than leading your shot ahead of them).
mostly i just need something that my grenadier "skills" will transfer over a bit with. when i tried the mastiff, i was a total anchor and dragged the team down, barely getting any kills with it.

>mspaint drawings on how to get kills with ricochet(shooting the ground behind the pilot rather than leading your shot ahead of them).
I could use those infographics. I'm trying to incorporate ricochet rounds into my sniper kits.

>new update mysteriously fixes the bug where Adaptive Resolution doesn't detect my 144hz monitor
>can now play at constant 144hz

longestyeaboiever.mp4

i tried out the SMR, its ok. i use it when i run mozambique as a primary.
i didnt save them, it was months ago and was actually mspaint drawings of stick figures, not inforgraphics or any advanced techniques or whatever. as far as i remember, that was all there was to it; shoot the ground behind the pilot so the bullet bounces up and hits them, instead of leading your shot like normal

posted by jayfresh about the new mixtape and how to switch modes during queue:

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

We have tools in place to gather player data for this and the team will be watching player behavior. We’ll use that information along with community feedback to find best solutions for improving the experience. This is not the final version of Mixtape Matchmaking. This is our first step into our grand experiment. We need data and that means getting in out there for players to start banging on it.

Fortunately, we’ll be making many changes to Mixtape Matching on the server side that do not require going through cert so we won't need to do a full patch any time we want to make changes. These changes will be ongoing.

A quick tip: Are you having an issue with it searching too long for a match? Reminder that you can press Triangle or Y to skip to the next mode you have selected and search that.

Some feedback that would be helpful for us beyond the functionality of searching one mode at a time:

How do you feel about having to select or deselect modes?
What modes do you turn off?
What modes do you turn on?
What do you prefer? To find a match quick or have more variety?

what does triangle or Y translate to on PC?

Nothing pumps me up more.
youtu.be/rnzJMVPSmKs

This just reaffirms what was mentioned in the last thread: this is the first draft of the new matchmaker, and so now they're gathering data to start iterating on it. That said, I didn't know about that "push a button to skip to the next mode" feature. I don't know what that button is on PC.

I get that but they still made matchmaking worse than at launch with this update. Its frustrating, and hopefully they resolve it with the server sided changes soon. I just want mixtape matchmaking that searches everything at once like the original mixtape playlist did.

The original mixtape didn't search everything at once. Mixtape was its own queue separate from all the other modes. Once a bunch of people were matched together in that queue, it randomly selects a mode from the mixtape list and starts that game. The old Mixtape queue was no different that queueing for any individual mode: you will only be matched with people in that same playlist.

Old mixtape isn't as versatile as you think it was.

youtube.com/watch?v=WRFJhTS4Npc

This is exactly what we needed, more people knowing how to properly use Tone.

Fucking FrostyWomen!

I havent really looked into it, since Ive only played two games of attrition since update, but is that what it does?
That blows. I was under the impression it would fix some of the unplayed gamemodes since it would search for all at once.

It selected a mode and then periodically changed the mode it selected. Which is the most simplistic way to search everything at once. The new one sticks you in one mode and if the queue is dead you either manually change it or exit the queue, drop that mode from your mixtape, and requeue. Which makes it less likely than original mixtape for you to get something other than attrition.

Lower the ammo count to ~40

Hemlock is fixed.

devotion*

Itd be ok but its still a problem.
I was really hoping they would just give the devotion a massive amount of recoil. It would have made for an enormously fun gun.
Hemlock is right where it should be.

So since the xbone stack last night we had a problem getting our normal 8 stack going since no one wants to play dumb fucking pvp. Is there still anyway to play skirmish at all in matchmaking?

>hemlock is where it should be
>can one-tap a person across the map in a single-burst
>devotion still takes 3 shots and subsequently 3 seconds to do the same in CQ and now requires more time for longrange
>hemlock does more damage CQ than any shotgun does
No.

any doubletake users want to share their loadout or some general tips? gonna be my first sniper rifle loadout so i dont know how to build it correctly. i want to be able to be semi-mobile, move from vantage point to vantage point.

>[Hemlock] can one-tap a person across the map in a single-burst
Only with a headshot. A bodyshot burst no longer kills.

sure, I'll post my full load out when I get back to my computer
I use quick ADS, stock scope, and fast reload.

open.spotify.com/track/5XEkVlkiY09XMCThJpauci

See
Hemlock can no longer one shot without a head shot. Which is exactly where it should be; a headshot is a crit and should be dealing much more damage.
Hemlock is a poor close quarters weapon and you know it, since the hipfire is poor. It makes up for its range capabilities.
People dont like it for the same reason they dont like G2; because when youre jumping around the map like an idiot and not watching where you are youll get killed.

spitfire needs to do more damage to titan and reaper weakspots. as it is now it has no niche to fill

thanks fampai

For any sniper, Gun Ready (faster ADS) is mandatory.

Wow this new matchmaking scheme really is cancer, at least on PC where there's

thanks, will do gun ready. what about boosts? does double take benefit much from amped weapons?
i was thinking of running either pulse blade, cloak or maybe holopilot.

>PC

new prime titans look way lazier than Ion and Scorch

Yeah, pretty much completely ruined the matchmaking system, really quite frustrating.

I really fucking doubt it'll stay like this but that's an entire patch of this shit, and people WILL defend it.

>implying 90% attrition players isn't a problem on console on low pop hours

anyway the new matchmaking system did the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of what was intended regardless of platform, I can't imagine them keeping it like this unless they really are unimaginably incompetent

Here's what I use.

Niche is 80 bullets son. Fire away.

But yes I would completely support more damage to titans and reapers from the spitfire.

>console bro
Awwww yaaaa

Amped weapons is decent with double take from what I've done. Only used it a bit though since I normally run battery. Hologram can be fun for sniping because you can set it up in windows like you're camping

>play some attrition games earlier
>128 players in matchmaking
jesus christ, is the new matchmaking to blame or what?

Its the second day of live fire.
Thats what everyones playing. Also its 2 pm on a Friday.
