ok, now for a little preplanned strategy with these changes from the updates i heard a bit about!
i was told that suicides or using the speed booster combo will no longer replenish wrenches. only being truly and fully killed by an enemy will allow them to return when respawning. so..you guys may be seeing higher levels players who don't normally die let themselves be killed, often :o this will certainly affect the team gameplay a bit since it is often the higher levels and those with ghost that can help pull through a wave. i also foresee someone handing a summoned weapon and pus to a fellow player while one relogs as well possibly.
now i will tell you what i shall be doing..
normally during a map, i use the speedbooster combo to replenish wrenches, usually the purple one until my weapon of choice is +10 power. and no, i never suicided ever since i am a proud player and don't like showing others i had an aneurysm. only time i suicide is if i get stuck somewhere and cannot get out under any circumstance.
i will be looking to purchase all 4 levels of resupply, of which i just have at level 2 currently. believe it or not, you don't need to keep the finger on the fire button every single second. i have summoned a lady or wand at times and had no gold wrench just yet. so like i do at the start of a map, i simple press the fire button when an enemy is in range and let go when the awareness bar disappears, and let resupply keep working in the meantime until next enemy.
yes, i am going to let an enemy kill me if i summon a nice weapon to use so i can gold it. what i will do is this: i will most likely have some weapon of power, so i shall stick a retention pu on that. if i summon a good weapon, i will have that weapon in hand, unload my current gun's pus and put all or the best on that weapon with retention, and go die...and probably not by a titan since titan-related deaths tend to make one lose weapons for good somehow >,,< upon respawn, i will gold that summoned weapon, unload the other gun, apply the pus to the new gun, then stick retention on that other gun it was on previously. by the way, i was told that retention pu is map-long in life now...any gun with a retention pu will always return and the retention pu stays on the gun for the rest of the map.
and there you have it, my strategy for the new update. it is all speculation since i am going off of what i heard the admins and joey mention before. it will be sad though..i'll miss purpling my guns to +10 power. and i refuse to die often if i don't need to -..-
but this does mean one more thing..better teamwork when it comes to any wops acquired. you all never heard me offer wops before because i don't pick up use any other non-summoned gun but the mp5. this will change now though, since i will be looking for a retention gun to store pus.
and that is all
see you in game! :}
gameplay strategy after this update
Moderator: Forum Moderators
i don't think so. i mentioned the resupply skill because one may want to use a weapon thats summoned for a time until one does die, wep golded and infs and other stuff put on. i used to have resupply level 1 until level 170-something, but after i got level two, i use the non-inf mp5 rather well until i find an inf. this is why i don't often run out of ammo on wave 1 even if no inf is found yet. and i either avoid that wave 1 valgary or use another weapon to shoot it. btw..shield gun tears her up well if you use speed booster to keep running into her :D
Re: gameplay strategy after this update
don't worry so much. :hwsb2: this is actually how it used to be, all that will happen is people will occasionally suicide at the end of lower waves until they have a gun built up. no one does it in the higher waves.draegohn wrote:ok, now for a little preplanned strategy with these changes from the updates i heard a bit about!

i think doing any type of console suicide eliminates that wrench replenishing with the update, even if its a total suicide kill that ends your life completely.
i am eager to try a couple forms of death, just to see for myself what will happen. if a monster-related death is truly needed now...dying in lower waves is not going to be possible for most higher levels o..o

Seriously, I think any other death from anything but a Titan or wand is kinda degrading. But then again if you care enough about that then you must not want to get a +10 that bad. Von and I could care less what other people think as long as we got enough slots to keep up wit you Dr. Drae >$P
Anyway the team work thing could be takin many ways. Lots of people (Lie Atlas and Corvy) act lie they never seen a PU a day in their life. They almost translocate and kill each other to get a frikin shielded deemer pu on a map that doesnt even have a deemer. That kinda crap is what resides in most peoples mentalitys. If you look at it, that stuff slows the game down. Only take what you need, and if nobody is around then take it, this way you don't have to waste time askin / tossin PU's and you won't get flooed wit useless crap, sitin their pressin the "]" key for 10 seconds in between rounds to find your pu and then put them on. A nother thing is, toss out the random ones you scoop up at the end of the round. The highest scoring people (Dr. Drae, Kurt, Von, Sess, SiAN, And that other weird named guy who I can't remember at this point) don't really "help" the team by collecting 1000's of pu then asking who needs them. We kinda just let them sit and who ever does gets them. People needa chill out when they see a pu and almost shit they selfs tryin to get it, helpin people is fine but doin that kinda hurts more than helps cause of the time it takes to transfer.
A nother point is the spaming. I wonderd how Dr. Drae does the first 5 rounds wit out infinitys and only uses one gun. The MP5, in my idea, is the 4th best wepon in the game. I can press the button once and kill anything in 1 or 2 bullets for the first 8 rounds, accept Smiths. Its more so of understanding your wepon than being a n00b. I don't have resupply but the MP5 is uasuly all I need for the first fiew rounds.

ooohhh...all right :}
well, i am not doing to do that unless i need my gold back then. i can make due with even power +0 so as long as i have a protection5, damage5, and energy5 happily nestled in one of the slots with the infs and perhaps a heal thats required n..n
as i said, i am a proud gamer and won't submit to unnecessary aneurysms! for me, its bad for not just the brain, but the ego <,,<
*edited for typos i had and to reply to sesshy*
yes, i actually take a look to see if a pu is really one i want, which the hesitation often leaves them taken at times. i never pick up pus i don't require that can be of use to others, since someone who needs them nearby might want it. if noone is near and its a 5-pu or inf, i will pick it up and at wave end, toss that and others to a group of people in spread toss fashion so someone can get if needed.
it bothers me when i want some pu i am going for like inches away of me, and someone takes it and runs across the map to ask if someone needs that pu
and superspeeders who take superspeed pus...and those with ladies or wands who take summon pus...i mean, come on!
-my nickel :}

hwsb is right. Its based on when you go OUT. No ghosting just to get it. so you have to type suicide twice 
But in either case I have been working with the flak more. Also quick mention of teamwork
We all have one wrench, if no great flak comes up everyone should update one gun to get it to 10 quick. Knave, Hwsb and I have done it before and that is three wrenches in one wave. But we normally don't gold anything under a 5. So it only takes 5 wrenches to get a 10 with some extra slots. Toss the thing around and get it to 10 quick. Just M.O.
It should be fun though. Lets just have a moemnt of silence and pray that Rej comes...

Later all!
Your greatest enime is your self. I won't let some stupid game insult keep me from the top 3 spaces >$P. My fun isnt in killin robots on this server wave after wave, its fighting you and Von for top place in the ranks. The way I improved my game 100 fold was by wondering why you scored so high, watching you, and understainding what your philosophy was to atian the highest spot. Its not a thing about seeing whos censored is the bigest, but its more so of bettering your self by rasing the bar. And you have been geting first place, beating the 2nd place by 2000 points or more, for a reason... Id be very sad if my bigest threat was to give out cause hes too censored to take a step back to take 2 steps forward.
