Amped wall
Devotion
Tone
Pulse blade
Sonar lock
Pilot sentries
No verticality
No Swiss cheese
Red glow
Low TTK
Bunny hopping reducing velocity, while slide hopping doesn't
Phase rewind

Omg guys I finally lost!

463 to 475!

It was JIP to a losing game!

*sigh*

This is seriously on reason why I prefer Bounty Hunt in this game... How can I carry and make a come back at the same time?

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
I think I know what's going on here. As Tone, I don't even lose to Ion anymore.

I think TitanGAF is good enough at the game that we're not having any issues even in bad matchups. Whenever a Ronin comes at my Tone (I usually get at least 2 hits in first), I'll pop a smoke and step back.

Since I've noticed that the winning team usually gets it due to Reaper and Pilot kills, it makes Tone and Ronin pretty much the best for Attrition.

I play with randoms and most Tones just drop the particle wall, stand still, and DGAF.

Also Ronin Prime really needs a light saber instead of a sword, with the sound effect and everything. Would buy
 
Sorry Northstar but Ronin is my go to Titan now. Thanks to whoever mentioned Phase Dashing behind Legion once he puts his shield up :D

Ronin's arc wave also gets rid of Legion's shield entirely, but you're right, phase dashing would be better cause Legion is the slowest when he has his shield up.

That's precisely why I want Northstar to shoot through her wall. It's just boring to hand a Tone on the other side of the map and there's nothing I can really do but not engage. I'm supposed to be sniper, why the hell is Tone better at it?

I can understand why people might have complaints for most of that list but pulseblade... Really??? You have to sacrifice so much to equip it, it has a limited area, doesn't last long, is easily avoidable and is only decent in a few game modes

It's not that it's strong, it's just annoying. Why does it need to persist? R1 had a burn code which showed people on the Radar (as dots) every 10 seconds and that was enough to get the jump on people. Do they really need to show exact where people are through walls?

I've been enjoying BH a lot more lately, it's just hard to pull clips in that mode when you're farming AI 80% of the time :(

Yeah, Northstar is getting a bad deal right now in that regard. I mean one arc wave from Ronin completely drops the particle wall but a fully charged shot from Northstar, nope. I hope Northstar gets a buff in the next update.

This takes too long, time to get to OT2!

Northstar needs a buff for sure but only slightly + that Tone shield / general shield piercing ability with a fully charged shot

Rayme, the stats issue is still in (if you quit at epilogue). I'm not sure if you have to quit straight away or something, but yeah.

Dashing don't show Titans on the Radar in this game, so stuff like this is possible.

Agree 100% as it would give northstar more purpose and allow one of the weaker, less picked titans to conter one of the most picked, strongest titans

That would make it pretty useless. It already is compared to something like stim or phase, on most maps. It also takes skill and awareness to place correctly because most ppl just run out of its range or the skirmish is often over by the time it matters. Unless used at a spawn, against a bunch of campers, a bank, contested hardpoint or drydock, it's not very good. I understand that some find it annoying but it's no less frustrating than a cloaked player camping, someone using stim or phase to escape a near death and/or kill you or even getting caught by a grapple or a holopilot. These are pilot perks and are on cooldowns. They need to give an edge when used properly but as it stands, pulse is quite limited and im glad some use it because it creates pilot/Encounter diversity in the world of stim and phase

Agree. Her crosshairs should be swapped with Tone (or something to that effect) makkng it easier for her and harder for him. Roles are reversed, right now

I mean, Northstar can't hipfire, but her crosshairs are fine (if I had my way I'd have a dot for everything haha).

I've just done this in R2.

Started using legion. Not sure how to use his r1 and triangle move

Smart core seems kind of lame but hitting pilots is so hard with him.

He got nerfed so hard, it's not worth it.

But for now, give him a Dash and double shotty (last kit). Use that shotty to kill Pilots and deal damage to Titans, but don't use it to Tone's Particle Wall etc.

He gets destroyed by Tone, Scorch and Ronin, but a good Ion is even worse. You wanna activate Smart Core for either Pilot Kills, or if you're with teammates.

I feel you. Pilots are small enough on the screen as it is, and yet her aiming reticle is such a pain in the ass to land shots accurately.

I think the shots take a bit to travel, and it feels like Tone's 40mm round travel faster. Like Cobalt said a few posts back Tone is better at sniping pilots

I'm pretty sure Northstar could drop both Tone's shield and Legion's weapon shield with a single charged shot at launch. They probably nerfed it because it was making them pointless (I remember denying many titans of their protection from afar, while they were battling my teammates).

Here's a clip to show you how fucking bad my aim is. Seriously, I suck sometimes, and I'm not afraid to admit it. But I can still cook frags

I started just as clumsy, but got a lucky shot in the very end. :D

Problem is that Northstar has nothing at ranges over let's say Tone or Ions Laser.

Sure, the charged shot does more damage, but you don't really have an advantage engaging at long range with Northstar :/

Being sick as a dog, I can't play Titanfall and it's killing me.

@Swolbro, I used to play a lot of Shadowrun. It's unfortunate so many fans made a big deal because it wasn't an RPG. I remember the 1UP Yours podcast with the studio head was pretty great.

I can't do it, I can't get to G6.

I'm a couple games away from getting 82% win rate, though, and maybe a couple dozen from 70% MVP. I feel like that's a good spot to stop until further patches come out or something.

Yeah, I feel the same way (just hit 100 hours and G6). I played a bit over the weekend for the 2xp, but I felt like I was grinding for some reason. Even messing around with new weapons didn't excite me.

I'm gonna switch to BF1 for a bit, and come back when there are new maps/modes.

I don't think long range is the issue, Northstar can snipe titans fairly well. Shooting a pilot at medium to close range is fairly difficult with Northstar. Having something similar to Legion's power shot and being able to fire two or three shots at a time I think would help. Maybe make those shots less powerful against titan's, but just enough damage to kill a pilot?

I really hope we get at least 1 new map every month.

That seems to be pretty wishful thinking. While awesome I doubt we get that.

I could just go for a roadmap. I know we talk about it a lot but Siege really did a great job with that. Giving the community just enough of a tease for people to speculate and give them something to look forward to was a small but great idea.

Gears 4 is also one that The Coalition has handled well so far. They add 2 free maps every month. Granted, I know TF2 is a little different because there is no season pass so it's hard to compare with different games. But yes, a road map would absolutely put some expectations in check.

I think they NEED 1 per month. Honestly, thats less than what we got in Titanfall, they were just arranged into groups of 3 or 4. I think the season pass for Titanfall 1 ended 9 months after the game released.

I did a bad thing. I went for a redesign thinking that I had a lot longer.

Depends on how much you guys post. I think I'm done for a bit. Need to rest.
 
Whoever handled geo on some maps needs to try again. The inconsistency of which walls I can run on vs. which ones I can't on Complex are infuriating.

Pilot sentries are 100% broken. Worse than SP from the first game right now. I'll be moving through a zone at the highest of speeds only to be instantly gunned down by a turret swiveling over to me even before I come into view.

Having regenned every gun in the game (for some time now), I think I'm qualified to say Devotion is absolutely, laughably, OP and needs to be beaten with the nerf stick.

I love this game (sliding never fails to feel badass), but Respawn, pls.

I feel a fully charged North star shot should drop the wall and do half damage or something like that.

I think the perfect analogy for me, is that the SP is Eve and Adam has the most painful stitch because of it.

It's bizarre how this MP feels so much more casual but at the same time being even less accessible for new players.
