Topic: Freefall Tournament / RIP REAL FREEFALL TOURNAMENT

bu…bu… Shocker so fun q.q… I get to slideeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. High res graphics don’t bother me because these lower graphics help me cope by giving me fewer glaring errr…. FREEZEE SCREENSES

Topic: Freefall Tournament / Assasin and shockers.

Shocker counters everything if it has the drop on enemies, I went about 46 kills and 58 or more assists yesterday in Shuttle against a Maj., Lft. I was against sometimes a gunner, a blazer, a tank or two, a blaster, and easy assassin kills. I did get most kills and assists in the match, but there were more high-level players on the other team to disperse the kills and damage.

We lost by about 50 or 80 points? My team did a decent job of supporting me. We probably would’ve won if my team stuck to me a little more. We would’ve definitely won if I had players who have played more.

Topic: Esgrima 2 / Improved Boss Guide

You should make 2 documents, a backup that people can view…
…and a document for people to freely change. Or you could make a submission form thing, though you might have to wade through a giant swamp of messages.

Either that, or you can just keep changing it yourself.

Thanks for your work though, Godspeed.

Topic: Freefall Tournament / January 17, 2013 Update Build Notes

You can place it in shuttle on the mesh last time I played… Right above the CP.
@rja: It’ll take some time for me to get back on here (Unity on Linux would fix that instantly). I appreciate you missing me though :) I need to figure out how to fix this… apparently my windows comp got corrupted and I don’t have any users to log into… pissing me off.

Topic: Freefall Tournament / January 17, 2013 Update Build Notes

Bleh….. I can’t play FFT because my Windows computer has a blank account error and I can’t manually login… I hope I don’t have to do a hard wipe or something because there are important documents on there… ._.

^ Yeah, I wonder if we can do that.

Topic: Freefall Tournament / Bug Report

Mines have been nerfed in my opinion. Before they used to stay until walked over by an enemy, but this is not the case anymore. They have a explosion timer so they now explode after a certain amount of time has passed. (time is about 10 seconds I think, feels like it)

Topic: Freefall Tournament / Bug Report

A wild Aegis will sometimes use Dig and plant itself sideways into the ground, quite amusing. (I cannot replicate) (occurred maybe 2-4 times to my Aegis, didn’t occur to me to report)

A wild Aegis will sometimes be scared and become graphically invisible, but the shield sadly gives it away. (Occurred twice yesterday)

When the Shield of an Aegis breaks, the Aegis takes Health damage (Aegis can thus be destroyed through walls). (I would like to know if this is intentional)

mines have been nerfed q.q (mines detonate within 10 seconds or something)

Topic: Freefall Tournament / Suggestion Box

Suggestion to buff the utility of the Lightning Gun: Swing

What is ‘Swing’?
-Swing is using the Aimed-target as an anchor to pivot around.
Example: a swingset; swinging around the structure

What should this ability do/have?
-Tackle corners quickly if there is a buddy/enemy there (increase maneuverability)
-Not be able to hug players like the Repair Tool

How is this different than the ability of the Repair Tool?
-Rather than attracting towards the target, the Shocker will lose no speed and will Swing at the same speed (or lose speed due to air resistance)

Some variable details to flesh out the idea:
-Swing will occur at around maximum range of the Lightning Gun.

-or starts at the point whenever the vector of the Shocker and the line to the Target are perpendicular (OR vice versa: vector of Target perpendicular to line to Shocker), and the distance between the Target and Shocker is the Swing length

-Only the Shocker is affected by Swing; Target is not affected by Swing.

-The Shocker will not attract to the target when at Swing range while standing (Shocker will not be able to hug the Target and heal/hurt); Shocker must be in the air to initiate Swing.

-At some difference in speed between the Target and Shocker, Swing will break and Shocker will get left somewhere

end of Suggestion

Examples of Swing:

-Shocker jumping in place, Aimed-Target rushes by the Shocker and the Shocker slightly swings around the Target
-Shocker jumps diagonally left to a teammate camping a door on the right side of a corridor, Shocker aims at friendly Target, then quickly goes through the door

hopes Tech Kick is coming back in the next Utility class

Topic: Freefall Tournament / Shockingly bad

The Shocker

Seems to occasionally cause large numbers of the players to fall through the ground.

1. Instant death against scouts, assassins, long ranged gunners.
2. Low damage of Lightning gun causes Shocker to not have a mid-close range weapon to fend off enemies.
3. Aegis deals low damage at low range.
4. Those EMP mines?… EDIT: I found a good use for them, but they still do kill me sometimes…
5. Lack of a high-movement system to dodge anything, which Tech has (tether/slingshot).
6. Shocker slowly heals shields, comparable to that of Tech healing players, which makes shield repair nearly useless, as shields heal much faster after battle.
7. Extreme difficulty of aiming the Lightning gun to hit targets (enemies or friendlies) without using lock-on, which Tech can do (largely affected by my low fps and freezing…), but still hard to aim the Lightning gun and look for hazards (ex: can’t look for hostiles, at your Aegis, for incoming Assassins, etc.).
8. Shocker is not rewarded for using the lightning gun, Tech has “Hyper-Charge”, but Shocker is not rewarded for usage
9. @Dodar: The Bigger they are the Harder they fall; Aegis gets easier to destroy as it gets larger

Basically, Tech trumps Shocker and makes Tech look good.

Proposed changes to fix:
1. Either have Shocker quickly heal shields or make it easier to use the Lightning gun.
2. Make the Aegis health/shields bar right above the Aegis
3. Add “r” ability dealing up to 500 amount of electric healing/damage to current targets calculated through gun overheat% (Lightning gun will not inherently do this with an automatic reload) or something.

Hopeful change:
-Lower graphics quality than right now, I have major fps issues more often now.

@Glock243: Shockers are only powerful in groups when you have cohesiveness, which doesn’t happen all too often, but it falls back down when you get quite a few shockers (gunners start showing up and stuff).

@Pad: I have been fighting Blazers and Blasters tooth and nail, to me dying half of the time. However, mind that this is Shuttle I’m playing in and I actually can predict where people might be to put some Orbs. I would play Lunar to test out how well I would do, but seeing how open and lacking shielding of Aegis (only takes 1-2 enemies to take it all out), I predict my failure. Also, I am running away as a Shocker from a Blazer, Blazer pulls out heat ray while I’m throwing Orbs backwards, I die. There were also quite a few times where I was like “yeahhh, gonna kill this guy.” Nope, not enough range on the Lightning gun.

I feel this is a pretty good description, I will update this again when there is another update.

Topic: Freefall Tournament / Hackers, Bugs, or Glitches

._. I spend my hard time learning to get my Tech inside the arena and you guys have to post about it… seerusly bad… Next time I find stuff, it’s going under locks n keeps…

That reminds me of that thing I want to see if I can do… I probably have to go test downthrusts extensively.

Bad Luck: I went afk to go to the restroom because my character was in a safe place, then I come back to see the afk counter blip from 1 to 0… frantic button presses ensue → failure.

Topic: Freefall Tournament / Lack of players

Recently Tech isn’t quite kickass ._. but can still kick some ass in other ways. I really do think that the game will become completely unbalanced as the combos and tricks are learned one by one for each class.
It should be released at least spread per day or week to allow for easier transition, unless the game is tested so much that it isn’t all screwed up at release.
Seems like less people are posting on forums .-. I am seeing posts staying for longer and longer on the front page.

On a side note, wats dat thing on the scout’s chest? And those checkered shoulder armor looks really odd…

Topic: Freefall Tournament / The Great Tech Defence

clicks topic Cool! Er…. Okay…. ._.
I don’t quite have as much opportunity to play this game as of late…

:/ joining this would be interesting to stop those waves of attacks

However, How to disable a Supp- errr… Cat
Yeah, just put them clips on the back of a suppressor and it stops working. Don’t you know how to put clips on the back of a suppressor? I’ll refresh your mind. Stand in it.

Hay there was a smiley face, I thought someone was happy that they made some flowers out of cash :) I have no clue if someone is happy that they wasted money on making aesthetic flowers.

Topic: Freefall Tournament / Tank tech combo op?

Nonononono you guys got the order wrong… You are supposed to goomba stomp the Tank so it flies away, then use the smashy side of the mauler to apply directly to the tank’s or tech’s face as many times as necessary.

Topic: Freefall Tournament / New classes coming

Some kongregate person posted that (bit about Blazer weapons), then it got put on wikia

I would rather that the classes come once per week, so they kinda die down and more updates :P
By having these classes come once per week, allows downtime for bugtesting and adjusting for new content.
This reminds me of my family’s fishies in the backyard pond. We dump a whole bunch in there and some of them survive without us feeding them. Cruel, isn’t it.

HALP HULP HELP AHHHHHHHHH qwerty! basic! hardarmor!

Topic: Spiral Knights / Spiral Knights For Ever

If you like having specialized damage weapons, you need to have at least 2 different damage types. ie. elemental & piercing, shadow % elemental, etc. This is crucial to outputting good damage.
Alternatively, just bring normal weapons, but they are generally weaker than specialized weapons used correctly against your enemy types.

One great tip: “Show Attack Damage”
1. Go to options (press esc)
2. Go to “Game”
3. Check(X) the box that says “Show Attack Damage”
4. Play
5. Be amazed.

Don’t need to be such a try-hard, just use whatever weapons and armor you want… I personally use crappy weapons, Plague Needle, Triglav, Fearless Rigdaoon, Volcanic Pepperbox (and some generic powerful weapons). And I use crappy armors, Ancient plate set, Bombastic set (rest of mine are okay). Note: My equipment is crappy in comparison to the other equipment you could get.

What you need to do is ask people to see if they can demonstrate weapons to you, test the lower * equipment of the alchemy line, ask the honest opinions of people.

Topic: Spiral Knights / Plate or owlite?

Responding to the irrelevant “wolver shield”
1. There is no such thing as a wolver shield, it’s the Bristling Buckler alchemy line.
2. All low increase variants increase said value by 7% per level (low, medium, high, very high, “ultra”, maximum)

Go for your own preference of specialized damage shield to normal damage shield because it doesn’t matter that much.

There is quite a difference between using a shadow shield or piercing shield in elemental stratums, but people bring Barbarous Thorn Shield or Swiftstrike Buckler regardless of level due to medium increased Sword Damage and ASI (attack speed increase) high respectively.

Topic: Freefall Tournament / Hackers, Bugs, or Glitches

mehhh fine… I am standing on something, high gravitational pull, still managed to get onto these 2 areas with the worst air movement classes (Tank, Tech). Scouts can easily get to both areas with their high speed, 3rd picture was pretty much lucky nade jump, Tank was some clutch hammer swinging, jetpacking, comet rushing.

-Oh yeah 1-2 pic = underneath the green object, a nice secret ledge, I have a method of getting there semi-easily repeatable (I’d just like some graphics on the ledge back there :D)
-3 pic = behind the circle thingy at the top of the green object.’
-Age restricted cabin: there are 2 roofs above each spawn, the glass roof and the heavy colored roof, you can get between them with the smaller classes, old Tank is too fat to fit. (only applicable in certain area)

Oh yeah… whether or not I can shoot, well I am behind a “floor” can’t shoot through floors

I almost forgot, you can slide right through the floor of the map if you go off and around the edge of the map and down thrust diagonally through the edge cracks in the map. Minor: fall diagonally through the other side, appear on through the ground. Major: fall all the way across the map :D, find yourself seeing through the map and appearing on the other side of the arena :D.

(Seems like I should be playtesting or something ^^ find too many little things here and there)

Topic: Freefall Tournament / Hackers, Bugs, or Glitches

@pwnednoobs it is not that if you click refresh too quickly that it puts you in a shuttle bay map. it is that (when you scroll down) the refresh button hitbox is partially hidden by the hitbox of SOME room thing at the top, so you actually are ninja-clicking the room thing at the top through the refresh button graphics.
