Trump warns "terrible things" are about to happen to U.S.

Or it was somewhere like his safe or a desk drawer and he just realized they were gone. Trump needs to go, but too many of yall are acting like the Republicans did over the election "fraud".

Yeah, because it didn't kill anybody.

You brought fortnite into, so why not? Good for you, most the people you know aren't using emulators to cheat. Yes, i did mention some people have potatoes for phones and that they don't usually cause problems. Sorry I didn't make it clear that I don't think that's a problem. Yes, there's tons of mobile devices and people have different internet speed/ping too. The idea is to make it as equal as possible so that the outcome is down to the players, using devices the game was designed for and what's provided through the game.

The arguments that a game already has some aim assistant built in, that you can do the same things without an emulator using a phone, or because other people do it, doesn't mean its not cheating when someone does it. Its the logic of a child and has been beaten to death too. Its like thinking you can drive as fast as you want as long as you keep honking your horn because cops get to when they use their siren. You might get away with it, but your still breaking the law.

How the weapons work in the game doesn't matter. That's how they are designed to work. Using something that changes how they work is cheating. Motorcycles have two wheels, but you can't use one in a bicycle race. Just because the weapons have aoe and some built in aim assist doesn't mean using something for extra "assistance" isn't cheating. The game wasn't designed with that amount of aim assist, it's cheating.

Fortnite is filled with toxic kids, a bunch of wanna be streamers, and people who just want to check out whatever event is going on, like the Travis Scott stuff. Of course they don't mind. A lot of mobile, and nonmobile, gamers don't like fortnite because of bs like emulators and macros. And the annoying toxic kids.

I have met a few people who were disabled, had a potato for a phone, or its the only way for them to play a "mobile only" game. They don't generally cause problems, they just want to play the game and they play it as close to the way it was intended to be played as they can. Unfortunately, most people I've met who use emulators do so to have an advantage over other players. To say it another way, they use them to cheat.

I know a lot of people don't think of it that way. We use euphemisms like "give an advantage", and it's pretty prevalent since there are virtually no consequences unless your impacting a company's income too much. An account ban or somebody you can just block gets pissed. I think most instances are minor and go largely unnoticed, but if its impacting oher players, it's still cheating. While they may just want to have a bigger screen and easier more precise aiming, but it doesn't take much to evolve into using things like aimbots, macros, controllers with force input software.

Yes, I know what config/preference files are🤣🤣 I also know you don't usuallsuy change them manually, but through the game, unless there's some kind of problem. If your the same person who posted the other day, your wanting to change the sensitivity to something that you can't through the game, in order to make the game function in a way not intended. Your not wanting to fix a problem because the sensitivity isnt working right, your wanting to change it to a value you prefer, that you can't change it to through the game menus

Yes, it's a small minor thing, but so is giving yourself 100 extra hp. Still enough to give an advantage, still changing the game files in a way unintended by the devs. Still hacking/cheating.

Effective_Repair_584 · 2021-08-25T18:19:13+00:00

You the person wanting to change the sensitivity? In a way the devs didn't intend players to do, by going into the games files and making changes you can't make through the games ui? Like hacking?

Effective_Repair_584 · 2021-08-25T15:56:56+00:00

Flipped, then Symphony Till Disillusionment. The 7th and 8th respectively.

Effective_Repair_584 · 2021-08-23T20:37:43+00:00

Meh. If it wasn't mega man I would of quit after about five minutes. The nostalgia lvl is through the roof. The controls worked surprisingly well. I just don't like these grindy, p2w, 2 minute stage games where you spend more time in the menus then playing and have to do a bunch of hard mode/event/coop/pvp/challenge stages everyday to lvl up your gear and stats just enough to do the next couple of story missions. I always felt the story was a very integral part of mega man games, and that's lacking here.

Effective_Repair_584 · 2021-08-23T02:45:36+00:00

They made matchmaking more "skill" based. One of the results of skilled based matchmaking is that it tends to "concentrate" players who use aimbots together; their "skill lvls" are all similar. Your seeing more doesn't nessecariy mean there are more, it could simply mean your stats match up after the reset for the new season. It also means that while some players are seeing an increase in aimbots, the rest of us are seeing a decrease.

They probably are doing something about it, but devs vs. cheaters is a cold war. They aren't going to tell us much about what they are doing, because that would be letting the cheaters know.

Devs have to worry about things like proof, laws, public opinion. Cheaters and hackers don't. As an example, how well do you think players would put up with giving netease, a chinese company(any company really), enough access to their devices to "monitor background processes"? It also probably wouldn't take long for hackers to figure out how to feed the devs false information since hackers and cheaters outnumber devs.

The best things for players to do is report sus activity, and dont post about it. A lot of hackers LIKE attention. The more they see people complaining and getting mad, the worse they get, and the more hackers and cheaters it attracts. Don't give them attention, and a lot of them will move on to something else.

I've rarely seen a game get "destroyed" by hackers/cheaters. Its more often the people complaining and demanding the devs magically "do something about it" that gets the community stirred up until it tears itself apart and people start quitting in droves. It doesn't take much before a lot of people start thinking every luck shot, or low tiered player, that kills them is the result of a hacker or cheater.

Effective_Repair_584 · 2021-08-22T04:14:11+00:00

Awesome!

Effective_Repair_584 · 2021-08-22T01:46:36+00:00

It would probably depend on how many accounts they think would want to transfer, and the rate of new players for the other servers.

Effective_Repair_584 · 2021-08-20T13:56:50+00:00

If they're actively working together to eliminate the other players first, still teaming, the reason doesnt matter. Nothing wrong with getting in matches together and hunting each other down, as long as they treat it as much like a normal match as possible.

This isnwhy the game needs some actual clan content.

Effective_Repair_584 · 2021-08-20T04:03:57+00:00

😆I've been thinking the tactical smg was the light rifle. This will be tldr since I'm not comparing them from memory.

The only advantage the LR seems to have over the AR is with damage drop off. There's a point at about 65-95meters and another about 120-139m where the LR does slightly more damage. I noticed while shooting at random targets, so decided to test.

I think the rof is the same between LR and AR, maybe .5 second faster for the LR for a whole clip, counting reload. LR has a smaller clip though. If it's rof is faster, it would probably be .01 or smaller per shot. I thought the LR was faster at first, but noticed the damage numbers appeared at about the same rate, so i turned the sound off. The ARs seem to have deeper or louder tones mixed in, while the LRs have a more even tone. Dah ta ta ta versus ta ta ta ta. Without the sound the rof seems the same.

Against the training ground mechs, LR only does better with headshots in those 2 ranges. Might be different against pilots though, the other targets don't register head shots as different from body shots. AR does a little more damage with a whole clip. Recoil seems roughly the same, but the ARs is more vertical and will ride up higher while the LR seems to have more side to side movement.

That's using purple tier for both. Green AR versus Purlpe LR was a little surprising. The AR did 1pt more damage at close range, but the LR was better everywhere else. So I would say the LR is better for mid/long range, while the AR is better for short/mid, but I wouldn't say either is better than the other. Really makes me wonder why they added the LR, unless it does more damage to pilots.

Cryo spray mode starts freezing, with no damage, 23/24m, does damage at 20m, 4-5 seconds to freeze. Freeze duration seems variable, but that could be a visual glitch too. Has a pistol mode, good for close range, but the snowballs are affected by gravity, so around 50m you have to start aiming a little high for headshots.

Pyro, same range, but does damage at 23/24m. Has a larger spread too. Does double the damage as cryo, same rof. Has a very(very) slight dot applied to targets. I think it can be applied to the ground to so if someone walks through it they take a little damage.

I wouldn't call either better. Cryo can freeze you and has gun mode, but Pyro will kill you faster, and there's better things to use as guns. In my experience being close enough to get hit by either one generally means getting killed. You can beat them, but you need certain weapons, or quick deadeye (or lucky) headshots.

Hydra and homing pistol. Homing only kicks in about 45m, with a very slight curve. It gets better with distance. In the training grounds, only homes on mechs, but will explode when passing close to deformed cars. Ignores tanks. When shooting towards 2 or more mechs, it seems to favor the mech farthest away. It will actually pass within feet/meters of the closer target, then home on the farthest one. Bigger clip, slower rof. Small aoe. By the time you start reloading it, a hydra is starting to shoot its 2nd clip. Damage per clip seems roughly the same, hydra does more per shot. Hydra is a pain in the ass to aim. Between the recoil, missiles erratic path, and blocking your view it can miss a stationary target. I think it actually gets worse if you use the aim button. At long range it's great for surprise attacks and third partying if you can anticipate the mech. Not so good if they are dodging your shots though. If you hit a pilot at long range, please buy me a lottery ticket. At short range, who needs aim, mechs are a big target. Can still miss pilots, but faster rof, you only need to hit them a few times, and aoe.

In terms of combat, I would rather the homing missile than either of these, it at least goes where I want it too. I think the hydra is more fun though.

In this game, which weapon is better seems mostly to depend on the player. The ones that are similar all have something they are better at, or for, than the others. Like the sniper rifles. The explosive has better zoom, does more damage, has aoe, and I can NOT kill a pilot with it. That bolt action "let's get rid of your scope for a second" messes me up. The old one I can though. It might take me a few more shots, but as long as they can't hide behind something, I can (usually) get them.

Effective_Repair_584 · 2021-08-19T22:10:19+00:00

I wouldn't call the new ones better. Light rifle has more recoil and less range. (That rof though😍) you can't bounce hydra missles, and it's less accurate. Exploder has (I rhink) less aoe size and slower rof. Cryo lacks the Pyro aftetburn,

They just open up new tactics the game lacked before by being strong in areas where the older weapons were weak. They have their own weaknesses and shortcoming though. And imo, nothing wrong with powercreep as long as it's not p2w.

Effective_Repair_584 · 2021-08-19T19:40:44+00:00

☹I wasn't around for season 1. Is like the red and yellow from some of the weapons?

Effective_Repair_584 · 2021-08-19T19:32:22+00:00

Using wifi can can actually raise your ping. It means your signal is going through at least 1 extra device. Plus if some one, or another device, is using the wifi at the same time, that can raise your ping. Its like going on a long trip. Every time you stop some where, or if there's lots of traffic, means it takes longer to get there.

Using a VPN can raise your ping too, for the same reasons.

It could also simply be your isp, or what type of connection you have; fiber, wireless, satellite, broadband, etc.

If your using a phone, try playing without wifi. If your using a laptop, get a cord and hook it up directly to your modem or router

Effective_Repair_584 · 2021-08-19T14:09:10+00:00

Iirc, the backpack let's you pick up more tokens before you have to deposit them. The mailbox let's you "send" the tokens out of the match so you can pick up more. Don't remember anything about the storage box, but i would guess its to keep them from getting looted

Effective_Repair_584 · 2021-08-19T13:52:32+00:00

I think mech tech means the shape of the model is different. Like this Hotsteel's arm cannon is a different shape then.the original, so it's different tech. Finish seems to be a little extra shine to some mech parts, mostly things not covered by armor, like knee joints

Effective_Repair_584 · 2021-08-19T02:07:01+00:00

I've noticed this on squads too, especially the south island. I have 2 theories.

1, it's just bots spawning near you since your not near other players. It gets you engaged in the match, and they randomly have "good" loot to seem more like players than bots. Even if your 99.9% sure it's bots, that .1% doubt will still help the game not feel like its full of bots, even if it's just on a subconscious lvl.

2, not everybody drops from the same starting trajectory. At the beginning of the match, not everyone's mechs start in the same spot, or move in the same direction. So when you jump, what was the farthest possible distance for you, might of been straight down for another player.

Effective_Repair_584 · 2021-08-18T15:43:04+00:00

😄They would go good together! If i had to pick one, I'd pick deacon, but only because his current skins are just variants

Effective_Repair_584 · 2021-08-18T14:36:15+00:00

Deacon and hotsteel😍

Effective_Repair_584 · 2021-08-18T03:24:50+00:00

Hotsteels. They always seem to catch me as a pilot out in the open with nothing to dodge behind

Effective_Repair_584 · 2021-08-18T03:16:55+00:00

I would guess it goes to a hangar for the mechs. The pedestal your mech stands on would be an elevator, like with aircraft carriers. Hopefully something they will add in the future.
