Time to max out the engineer tool.

This.

Just a warning if you play on Cobalt, since the update, opening the social tab in any way seems to cause the game to freeze. This doesn't seem to be effecting other servers.

Looks like it's local for you or something on your particular tab? I put in more hours on NC Cobalt than is healthy today (NC just capped Indar while also winning an alert on Amerish) and neither saw or heard of this. And there was a lot of platoon/outfit management going on. Not seeing anything on Reddit either.

I do remember seeing a similar thing about Miller. I believe it was a squad with illegal characters in their name that would crash when they tried to load. Could be something similar.

And checking Reddit... looks like Buzzcutpsycho has just quit the game. Odds on him staying gone?

Also this tip is worth keeping in mind.[/url] Basically the XP you get from alerts counts towards the resource gain based on the region you are in when the alert finishes. So being in, say, a biolab will reward you with thousands of experience worth of infantry resources. Could be very useful if you are resource starved, although actually being able to access such a base might be tough during the worst lockouts.


One thing I forgot to mention; the Viper on the Lightning (default cannon) has been changed considerably. It has less splash damage but still one-shots infantry on a direct hit and has considerably less drop. It sounded like a nerf (300 damage per shot lost) but actually is one hell of a buff.

So I ahven't been following the topic, what server and faction does Bay12 play on, if any? Or are we all separated?

[Sonlirain]

Well i'm on woodsman playing TR.
Not really active right now tho.

[Jim Groovester]

I think the biggest concentrations are NC on Matherson and VS on Miller.

But we're talking about a mere handful of people actively playing in either place. Otherwise we're all spread out.

[Toaster]

I think the highest concentration of B12 I ever saw was five, and that was NC Mattherson.

So the big undocumented change this patch is that destroying an SCU also disables spawn room shields and pain field. No more spawn room camping on large facilities.

This is mentioned in the full notes, unless they edited it in by the time I read it.


I'm curious how the NC MAX changes will play out- the Mattock in particular looks like it got slapped.

They must have edited it in. For sure no-one knew about it before we blew the first tech plant SCU and all had a party in the suddenly open spawn room. From the reactions of VS in the room they knew about it either.

From what we have been able to gather in game tonight, it seems to only be effecting VS on Cobalt and is happening to everyone, regardless of characters in names. If you are not already in a squad/platoon then opening the social tab will cause the game to hang. If you have already joined a squad by being invited you can then open the tab, but it reacts slowly compared to normal.

Interesting planned changes on Esamir (and later Amerish and Indar). Really liking the more infantry focused bases.

[Toaster]

Eisa's an odd choice, though- since it's a tech plant, it begs vehicle combat.  It looks like they're adding in several hills as well- my initial impression is negative.


The concept is good, though.

[Tylui]

Hey why don't we try a Bay12 night? like Fridays or something

[TolyK]

I'd be for it, except:
- different timezones
- different servers
:/

[Jim Groovester]

Blargh I was on like a twenty MAX kill streak (dual Mercies are pretty good) and then the game crashed.

Also by pure chance I ran into Tylui on Amerish. Literally, even. Sadly he got the best of me in our sole engagement.

I'd be up for it, if all the obstacles could be sorted out.

[Silent_Thunder]

I'd be in, but it would have to be on Matherson or Miller. During that free membership month I dumped all of my Alt slots on those 2 servers just so I wouldnt lose them at month's end, so I can't switch without permanantly losing Alt slots.

Oh damnit. And I was to play today

You in an outfit btw? I'm in PTMC.
