Ahhh, okie. Didn't know they had a DR stat. Guess I'll just have to keep pumping ammo into monsters, then.

That means that the AVRiL launches some seriously explosive cigars.

(OT) On the note of amped damage though, is it just me or does vamp not accurately give you life based on damage bonuses from stats and pluses? I have this sneaking suspicion that 15% of a LG blast w/ 80pts of damage (+40%) should give me more than 11-12 hp...

Could you fix the problem by having denial not work if they suicide? Unfair for the random suicider, but it'd require someone finding a friendly enemy to axe 'em to pull the exploit. Supposedly.

A good energy weapon will make the triple damage last for long periods of time, even without having dropped anything into adrenaline. When you're facing a couple of big critters, it can really help out your survivability, health, and exp gain to kick the triple on for a few seconds. You don't have to have 100 adren for the triple, so you can use it to quickly wound a queen/titan and finish them off without the amp.

Then you need to find more ammo

I'll agree with everyone that the admins do a great job of keeping the server running smoothly, but CPL-Mac *really* needs to do something else with his time... L137 with six over the next guy?

An idea to try, buzz down to the bottom of the sequence or played list... I've tried to pull up some never or rarely played maps, and will happily vote if I see one I don't recognize.

Unless I see HyperBlast32, which is just fun, floating between cores and rockets above the ship as my ammo dwindles to zero...

I know this is a silly idea inspired by too many hours in Prince of Persia (the two recent ones), but how hard would it be to put together a mod for invasion that allowed players to dodge off of large mobs as if they were walls or other solid objects? (if you don't know what a wall-jump is, read the loading screen tips) It wouldn't be a terribly commonly used trait, but it may allow a bit more survivability when a queen or warlord ends up in your face.

And it would look cool to watch people pull it off

MMO? Heh, just donate $60 to the DC server... you get less downtime, the same level grind, more magic weapons, fewer pinhead PKing twits, and good company.... but with more explosions and free bonus squishy red Titan footprints!

Haven't you heard my rant about Blizzard? I don't think you'll be happy with them.

Nope, but it's good to know there's more than one Blizzard anti-fan. Link/repost?

Point gun at titan, hold down trigger?

Regarding weapon choice (someone brought it up), the asmd, snipers, and minigun slow fire all work well enough for distence work, being fast projectiles, where the bio, flak, rocks, and link do better close up... Which one you use depends on +s, ammo supply, ability to aim (as in, the bio doesn't aim easily), and personal preference.

Unless you're as 1337 as Square with his shieldgun technique

Vamp 3, maxed damage bonus, and raw skill can keep you in the higher point ranks at L28... it's really kinda funny that how good you are normally translates better into how well you do than being higher level.

And it's always fun to meet that one shieldgun nali that's sneaking up behind you.

But seriously. Keep moving, shoot straight, and vamp health off the enemies. Works great for me, at least, up until the point I run out of ammo, or meet a nali with more guns and ammo than I have after respawning.

(next goal... loaded weapons)
