I grabbed it because it's cross-platform so I can play with the wife.

Turned out to be surprisingly fun.  It's simple, chaotic, and it just works.

Nothing more exciting than dropping a daisy chain of airstrikes and arty at your feet as you frantically leapfrog backwards while being overrun by a swarm of bugs.

Edit:  post your info in the following format to get added to the master list of arfcommers

I turned in a ticket this morning.

When I try to accept a friend invite it does nothing, then when I go back to friends list all my social tabs say "please wait democratically" and has a spinning circle for hours. So I can't join any friends squads. Very annoying.

Talked a friend into buying it on PC last week and we haven't been able to play yet because of it.

New major order with a new mission. Also on some Terminid missions, there's a new side objective that I won't spoil for you unless you really want to be spoiled:

I know how you blew up in the mech now.  There's a bug where if you turn left then right, if you immediately fire off a rocket before the crosshair catches up with your actual radial movement, it "hits you" and you're dead.  Doesn't have to be anything around you for it to happen.

I’m still waiting for them to fix the crossplay friend request issue. Two of my friends are on PS5 and we can’t play together cause I’m on PC. Hasn’t stopped me from spreading managed democracy though.

I tested the flamethrower late last night and it no shit kills a Charger in something like 8 seconds or 3/4th a tank of fuel.  Now whether you can do that without setting yourself on fire because there's grass or little bugs mobbing you is another story.

Still loving the arc-thrower.  It works well with my "can't really aim good" strategy

I knew this was going to happen when they let us all try out the Patriot walker with basically an extra stratagem, but I got used to having that on call for extraction or clearing out heavy areas and now that it's gone I can't bring myself to use a stratagem slot very often

That would be a sweet fucking booster idea.  One that gives the squad a 5th stratagem.  It's less about having more power on tap to complete missions and more about I just like playing with all the toys  But with 4 slots at say difficulty 6 and up, it's needs vs wants.

Much less when you get limited to 3.  That fucking sucks!

It's the worst. I am usually happy when they tongue punch me 50 feet through the air because it doesn't hurt much and gets you clear.  Nothing is as aggravating as being killed by some 1 shot mob because you're slowed/stuck under a corpse.

Is yours not doing the annoying pop up giving hints the entire game?  Mine started after the update.

Also almost got killed last night  by a charger at silo 3 because I clipped through the ramp and got stuck for a second but was able to jump 3-4 times and get away.

What resolution are you running?

You’ve got an older processor, & depending on resolution it can tax the cpu more than the GPU.

My 5700x sit in the 50’s while my 3080Ti is going near full tilt at 7680x1440 pulling around 330watts.

I left when we finished that last mission together to get some shit done, and it wasn't happening then, but later I logged back on for another mission before bed and it started doing it.

Hoping that's not the case today.  Didn't appreciate dropping with the Liberator and starting handgun.  Weird how it went back to default weapons but left my armor.

I was on challenging level with a buddy doing the silos. He had the fatal glitch and was kicked out. It was 7-8 minutes of me solo running and gunning only to inevitably run out of drops. After all said and done with I had 362 kills in my failed mission.

I saw istomphippies send a party invite but we were mid mission and frustrated.

The flame thrower is nice on the chargers but man do they come out of nowhere.

I was unintentionally solo lol. All I had was the grenade launcher, sheild generator and two timed out sentry’s.

It was the running man when my buddy glitched out.

Chargers are fairly easy. One guy is the bait and the other guy comes around the as end and gives him a mag of breaker shells.

I was using the recoiless rifle tonight. That will one shot most of them if you hit them in the face.

The trick to the tower missions is turrets. 2 or 3 each just keep dropping at each silo stay alive and let them work.

That ramp bug happened to my group the first game also.

I don’t recall what sentry I set down up on the platform, Gatling I think,  but it didn’t do the glitch until I set it down.

At least they fixed the water glitch so you don't need someone to kill you if you drown.  But I'm getting really tired of the newbie hints every session.

that happened to me for the 1st time 2 nights ago.. I didnt know WTF was going on... Then last night right as soon as the exfil bird lands.. A mortar goes off around me and glitches me into a fence where I cant move... Thankfully all the randoms in the squad had mics and listened to me when I told them not to board and to come kill me lol...

It's only happened to me a few times, mostly learning where the pitfalls are on the new tower maps in the dark/fog/mist, but there seems to be only 2 reactions to requesting a team kill: 1. Extreme reluctance and 2. Gleeful exuberance.

Yeah that thing is handy as hell and you can get it very quickly.  Just call them in every time it cools off and have them laying around the map.  Even at later levels it's nice to have 1 squad member doing that, so they're around for everybody whether it's because they're in a pinch, didn't drop with something for heavy AP, or are cut off from their stratagem weapons after reinforcing.

I've tried to employ that and either I suck (probable) or I just don't know the weak points.  I've tried using the rail, on unsafe, near max charge, to strip the leg armor and the shit just bounces off.  I'd much rather bring the flame thrower which I know will kill a charger in less than a single tank.

Is that how you're using the rail?  Get a leg to change color then hit it with your primary?

We tag team chargers if someone doesn’t have a rail gun or something big. One guy is the bait other guy waiting from the side. Charger goes by and jump out behind him and put a full mag from the breaker up his ass.


Sometimes I can bounce a grenade under the front of them and that gets them dead or at least stunned.

I’ve heard the medal awards gets backed up causing them to delay from days sometimes. I got the 50 for the main general order last night and also the 15 for evacuating 3 times.

One needs to contribute with successful missions at some point when the order is active.  The first day the General Order went live, we did one mission on each of the four planets to make sure we had the box checked and then pretty much ignored the order for future missions/planets and did whatever we wanted.
