I can kind of understand it as a challenge, but why not make it 10 instead of 50?

I got 12 and haven't gotten one since.

Everyone gets burn cards it's not like you exist in isolation if someone on the other team has a good burn card chances are someone on your team has one also.

I've never used that shield where you can shoot through it but other titans can't. I've been sticking with the smoke because I hate having to get out of my titan to engage the cowboys on it. I wonder if you put up that shield and walk through it while a pilot is riding you, does he take damage.
Just use cluster missiles and aim that at your feet and crouch.

Oh shit, good tip. Anyone with sense bails out of smoke by now, and cleaning dudes off my Titan is a chore.

Hm. Interesting. Will try that when I get the chance. Thanks!
Improving matchmaking is absolutely a top priority right now.

Yeah I understand the point. Don't you think being able to see the entire map is kinda overpowered?

Good to hear.

Also interested to hear impressions of this.
Fantastic to hear!
Also, please let us choose which burn cards to discard! I lost a Map Hack card that I was saving because I unlocked 5+ cards in one round and that was the one that was discarded for some reason.
Are you going to reduce the time in between games?
I have to win 100 matches. I will literally lose over 2 hours of my life in lobbies.
You can choose which burn cards to get rid of. Press both triggers when you have the card you want to get rid of selected. Not sure of the buttons if you're on PC.
Hopefully along with technical fixes, maybe?

And the game crashes way too often for me. ViscB invited me but everytime I tried to join it froze and crashed to desktop. Maybe my game install is corrupt and I need to reinstall it again (already repaired via Origin)
Good to hear that..also going to fix the netcode/hit detection?
holy shit never even entered my mind

No no, I mean when your deck is full -- if they insist on having a limit on the number of cards we can have, then let me choose which ones to discard if I go over the limit.
Makes sense?
What do you suggest I use to combat the short interval wall-hack burn card?
I prefer an answer besides use the same burn card if possible.
That seems a bit pointless and unnecessary. You just need to maintain your deck and remember to use your cards.

I'd like to give the Smart Pistol a try sometime, but I just love rodeoing Titans too much.
Does it auto discard? I think it usually lets me pick which to get rid of if I end up with more than 25 in my deck after a match.
Yah.. good to see in later comments it's something they're focusing on. I haven't even really wanted to boot the game up because of this.
I found that out like the second day when there was a game I was actually doing good in and a guy that got revenge on me starting t-bagging me with his titan lol.
Before that.. I didn't know either. Aha.

Yeah lol. There's some areas you can only access by crouching your Titan.

Just found out about wall clinging. That will help things a lot.
Especially if you have the big punch perk equipped. God damn that thing reminds me of that rocket fist from Pacific Rim.

There's a perk that does the exact same thing with a low cooldown. That card is the least of your problems. Also the perk also let's you to see you constantly through the wall while card allows your to occasionally see enemy positions.

I also crouch with an atlas I crouch less with a strider, but I used to play Last titan as a cover shooting with crouching in the demo. I do that less now.

I really hate being dumped into in progress matches, like a hardpoint match that is already 380-120. A few times, I've been dumped into the losing side of a match during the epilogue.
So the answer to the wall hack card is use the wall hack perk? I am just trying to be clear on the meaning of your post. I would also like to note that the card also continues to work when you are in your titan, huge advantage.
Personally I think the wall hack ability in both card and perk form hurt the game, because the only answer I have seen so far is "run one yourself". Which to me is boring gameplay ( aka no depth ).
EDIT: I want to be clear that I only think that aspect of the game has no depth. I am not speaking about the game as a whole.
Yup, joining a match in progress is almost always bad news.

Well your question is how unbalanced the cards in comparison to not using them are. I'm saying they're not unbalanced if you can achieve similar results without using them. We're not talking about general game imbalances here otherwise I'd say the shot gun has too long a instant kill range.
I understand your point. Thank you.
My larger point, which I changed w/o explicitly stating it, is that wall hack is only countered by another wall hack. Boring.

Yeah I can understand that. Honestly I'd rather they decrease the overall damage weapons do. Remove ADS and force you to whittle down an opponents life the old fashioned way.
Arena shooters gave you things like invincibility it didn't secure you shit because your opponent always had a fighting chance.
A tear comes to my eye when I think of the Q3 Arena days... =P
