    Still having lag issues

    I've posted about this before, but the thread was locked and I got little more than a pat on the head and a 'run along and play' sort of answer. Here's the first thread: http://forums.legionsoverdrive.com/threads/lag-spikes.2815/ So I'm still having the problem. It never went away. For all...

    Rant alert: Taunts

    I agree: the intelligent compromise here is to be able to selectively mute taunts without losing all the useful messages like [Take the flag from me!] (which most people seem to ignore, anyway, but that's a separate issue).

    Lag spikes

    Ima feel like a retard if that's the wrong server... I had to use the console echo() command to get the IP address for the public test server (IL) 'cause I couldn't find it here on the forum. Anyway, I ran pingplotter while playing Elegiac until I had 1378 samples. Elegiac, ZC, and other large...

    Mortar, Grenade, Blaster Updates

    Very happy with Blaster, now. It's great indoors. As OR, I won a most of my duels in the Elegiac basements against Raiders using RLs. The splash and RoF make it much more effective than RL when in close like that. Plasma was also much nicer to use: I could see while I fired, the added range...

    Big Fat Weapon Update on Public Test

    Regardless, he's acting like a child and so I shall treat him as one.

    Big Fat Weapon Update on Public Test

    @Mahidhar: Half of your posts don't make sense, sound contradictory, or sound like you haven't played Legions much at all. Maybe it's the over-abundance of commas, maybe something else. My point is that your argument is hard to discern and I think you're shooting yourself in the foot even as you...

    Big Fat Weapon Update on Public Test

    Smells like elitist in here. *achoo* Dammit, now I'm getting a rash >_< On topic: Like others, I would love to see MA counters for the SB. Maybe in the future, when everyone has mastered it, it will be silly to count them, but right now we're all trying to learn a new weapon and counting MAs is...

    Big Fat Weapon Update on Public Test

    This isn't Tribes 2, bro ;) But to answer, I'm sure it would just piss people off. Imagine being in the Stygian tunnels, blasting away. Suddenly, a Sent drops a mortar in your lap. But, because you're close, the shell bounces and you have about a sec and a half to get away. But, oh, what a...

    Big Fat Weapon Update on Public Test

    I have now gotten to play with the updates a little more, and I have a couple of new comments: I preferred the bounce characteristics of the old GL. I tried playing LO as Bomber (my favorite) and I wasn't much pleased. From high up, it feels just like the old GL, but when I get in a little...

    Big Fat Weapon Update on Public Test

    I thought RL seemed to do more damage than usual, but maybe that's 'cause I never hit with it XD . I like the changes to the SB, even if I do miss having a little splash with it; however, since there is now a class with SB and RL, that's hardly a problem. Of the newest, I think I liked the...

    Spawn Updates on Public Test

    I'm not hating on the developers. I'm not hating on anyone. I'm arguing against the people who are saying that they want L:O to be more like Tribes. If the devs really are headed away from Tribes, then good. In the meantime, there are still people clambering for a Tribes clone. Given the devs'...

    Spawn Updates on Public Test

    You're really counting one that was unreleased? And if you really must be technical, oughtn't you count the original Starsiege games? As I recall, the phrasing they used was "spiritual successor" to Tribes, not 'clone' or 'sequel.' Yes, I did. Did you read my post where I said that I read...

    Spawn Updates on Public Test

    Yes, I did read that blog and I do remember what was said. I've said before that I'm all for base assets and all that jazz. What I don't want is for repairing said assets to become 40% of the gameplay as it always was when I played Tribes 2--believe me, there is nothing more annoying than a...

    Spawn Updates on Public Test

    Since you want Tribes gameplay so much, why don't you go play Tribes?? There are only, what, three base games and lord knows how many mods and expansions out there--ONE of them has got to suit your fancy. Don't get me wrong--I loved Tribes 2. I thought everything about the game was pretty damn...

    Spawn Updates on Public Test

    Some of the new comments sound really good and I actually like the idea behind this update more, but I'm still of the opinion that it would be better to not completely rip off Tribes. Are jet packs not enough of an homage already? I'm all for deeper gameplay and all, but, I mean, I'll go play...
