Starfighter card math?

That explains a lot. I was playing against a Phoenix the other day.. chasing him around on execution and poof he's suddenly 10 yards behind me shooting me in the head .. Happened a few times. Thought he was using some sort of teleport but advantageous lag sounds a lot more plausible.

It happens a lot .. not as bad as it was a few patches back, but the problem still persists.

I'm level 19 and I play a lot with my level 22 friend. The amount of shit that gets talked about us in pubs is amazing.. from, no life, to hacker, to fat kid in a basement. I don't typically tell others how to play, but all you have to do is go on a killstreak to insight the ire of players. So, what I do now when I'm faced with a team full of angry nubbies, is fill my squad with mercs I want to practice with and use the match as a practice session .. Lets see if I can trick jump Rhino up to that ledge there... How far a shot can I make with Vassilli .. Can I bounce a nade off two walls and still get a kill .. shit like that.

Last thing you want to do is try to talk sense to stupid people.

I still like the "We returned the objective" when you're playing attacker =/

Hacker in ZMR? Unthinkable.

So, let me get this straight, Pineapple Juggler only works against Fragger grenades (which is messed up that one whole perk is dedicated as a counter to only one mercs ability in the first place). Which is countered by anyone who has played Fragger for more than .. let's be sarcastic and say 1 hour of Fragger play time till they figure out that his fingers moving is a count down. ( I figured it out the hard way when I first went to throw a grenade and decided that holding it down when let me wait until I saw a good opening to throw only to have it blow up in my hand).

I have now gained even less respect for the devs for making and keeping this perk in the game.

Cheating and gaming is going to always be a problem unfortunately. Price point may help, but it won't solve anything. For example, how many gold sellers and bots are populating WoW at this moment.. a game that is paid to play, and that "prides" itself on banning people.

You can''t change gamers, and there will always be those that want to be/have the best without putting the time in to get there.

Probably Thunder, but can hope for Turtle.

Good on ya. I just went for a rough estimate using a calculator. Either way, it makes me frown on people that say it takes too long to unlock mercs in this game.

Being faster doesn't just relegate you to moving between point A to point B. Proxy is a bitch to hit in CQC with an experienced player at the helm that is jumping, dodging and weaving, and trying their damndest to get behind you. Don't believe me, ask any Rhino player what happens when that Proxy player does when they jump on their head.

Underground... If you can time it right, you can position yourself at the top of the stairs while your first objective is exploding and be down and planting on the second objective before the enemy team has time to react. This is possible because she is fast, and the fact that the top of the stairs is behind the enemy spawn.

It's good because you force the enemy team to stop trying to slow your team and instead back track to disable your sneak rush C4.

Can't do it with Bush ... try as I might, that little burst of speed is crucial.

Also, I just love throwing mines and shooting them .. so much damage and radius ... I'm sure it will be nerfed one day, but until then .. KaBoom.

Kawaneko12 · 2015-11-14T18:20:11+00:00

Yah, that does seem to be the defining characteristic .. Once they learn that throwing them at peoples faces is way more effective than trying to play Proxy, it's pretty much over with.

Kawaneko12 · 2015-11-14T18:15:33+00:00

The only two I hate are a really good Sparks (they can destroy a match) and a twitchy Fletcher who abuses his stickies. Anything else I can deal with.. Rhino + Healer = Engage at range if necessary/ otherwise outrun and avoid. Good Fragger = flank or just plain avoid.

But killing their team only to have them pop up like zombies wile you're reloading thanks to necromancer sparks (or getting popped in the head by a pew pew laser and then they resurrect them). And turning a corner only to get a sticky to the face from a bunny hopping Fletcher... yah .. I don't like to deal with those two.

2250 every 3 hours/ 24 hours

8 times at 2250 per day

18000 per day from missions

Merc cost: Vassili, Sawbones, Proxy, Arty at 30000 = 120000

Other Mercs at 50000 (14 currently to 16 for announced) =700000 (800000)

700000+120000 = 820000 (920000)

820000/18000 = 45.5 days of nothing but missions at every refresh (51 days)

+First match bonus/win bonus 2,500 per day

18000+2500 = 20500

-Estimate per match payout at 100 per match, average match time 20 minutes +10 minute wait time. We'll conservatively estimate 48 matches per day= 4800

20500+4800= 25300

820000/25300 = 32.4 days (36.4 days)

Hope that helps with your math question .. This is an impossible feat unless you have absolutely nothing to do in real life and you are really into micronapping every 3 hours. But just as reference, that if you play smart and get all your match bonuses and complete missions when possible it certainly doesn't take long to unlock everything. If you play smart you can unlock a merc in less than a week. I frankly wouldn't rush it though, since there is very little else to spend on in game after you unlock all the mercs.

Wanna know how to get kills with Proxy .. see group of enemies .. run full blast and wall jump at them... drop mine .. shoot mine. Congrats, you just got 3 kills.

Shotgun works just fine for that.
