    So boltok pistol, longshot and double barrel as equipment confirmed?

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    Not looking forward to this playlist. Gonna grab the ribbon and leave it alone.

    Also, the ribbon glitch would explain why I saw a bunch of Onyx War Supporters. It wasn't till I saw a Gold one that I suspected them of anything besides modding.

    EDIT: You know what would be hilarious?

    If the playlist ended up in nothing but One-Shots, where they glued them to your hands so you couldn't drop them.

    Damn and here I missed out on that particular glitch.

    And I'd love a one shot only play list, then I could get the execution for that. Still waiting for a cleaver only play list. Hell that should be this weekend in honor of skyrim!

    Cleaver's only would be intense. I'd be up for that.
    Or maybe a boom-shield and pistol playlist w/ infinite ammo, that'd be cool too.

    So I have the Onyx War Supporter medal now. I guess I shouldn't question it.

    And don't worry about the invite thing Espanta/Onyx Vanguard, I didn't realize how many invites I sent until afterward. One from my friends list, one from the meta-tag, and one with the built in feature from the game. That was not intentional.

  • NocrenNocren Lt Futz, Back in Action North CarolinaRegistered User regular
    The cleaver's execution is brutal. Glad I unlocked it.
    Still though, bot match and setting every weapon spawn to your needed item is ok.
    All Mortars on Mercy is pretty cool.

    Still have not done not one of the new achievement for the new dlcs. We should get organized and do them guys.

  • AegeriAegeri Tiny wee bacteriums Plateau of LengRegistered User regular
    Yeah I would absolutely love a chance of getting those achievements. I am never going to get them unless I organize with people on here.

    I can't get a Mortar Execution to save my life. It's the only weapon I can't ever seem to get, and then get close enough to a downed person to use for execution purposes. :(

    I would suggest playing Horde on Mercy with some other people that can down a person with a different weapon, then you could get the execution with the mortar.

    Or you could play a private game of team deathmatch and change all the weapon spawns to mortars. Try to down an enemy near one and grab it as fast as you can.

    On the subject of the events; if they really wanted to make it different, they should give us something like the hammerburst instead of shotguns. The only event that felt really different was the boomer/sniper one.

    Yeah, that might be easier. If you had a human or just a second controller on the other team you could cheese it pretty easily.

    Disagree somewhat, Torque Bow Tag was amazing. But some of the rest of them have been pretty bland. Digger playlist was only really different in the first 20 seconds of a round.

    If you guys go ahead and try for the DLC achievements at any point I'd appreciate an invite. I'll never get them otherwise.

    Was going to grind my way to 91 today but I just feel so tired today. Played some koth and public horde for a bit before I logged out but leveling will have to wait till I feel better.

  • Undead ScottsmanUndead Scottsman Registered User regular
    So it appears this months Game Informer has an article and screens regarding the new campaign DLC.

    I want this playlist to be nothing but One-Shots it will be hilarious and awful at the same time.

    It seems when you use a Command Center at Level 2 you get the credit for the motar kills. It's how I got my execution.

    Kind off topic but no gears for me until tomorrow . I'm in a hotel waiting for me MEPS. Wish me luck! Kinda paranoid they will discover some obscure health issue.

    I dare you to try wall bouncing in basic. :D

    Military physical health exam. Joining the army.

    If it is anything like my exam, all they are going to do is check your height and weight. Give you a quick eye exam for depth perception, and then make you spread your cheeks to check for henroids. :P

    Also, how are you guys advancing through horde cash to quickly? It takes me like 20 minutes to find a game, and when I get one, everyone beats me to the stuff I need to upgrade. So my fences are at level 8, while everything else is 1 or 2.

    Fun fact I have played gears since launch of the first one and never learned how to wallbounce

    I can't do it. Like I can escape and flee pretty good, but turning that into an offensive maneuver I suck at. Like I'll try and do it and some how end up having my damn smoke grenade equipped.

    1. Play with friends, that way everyone can pick fortification they want to work on
    2. Play private games on harder difficulties: lower difficulties count less of the money you spend towards your upgrades (so if you spend $1000 on Sentries in Normal Horde, only $800 that actually counts towards leveling)
    3. Don't put on unnecessary mutators. Mutators affect the ammount of cash you get just like the difficulty, so don't throw on infinite ammo, instagib melee and super active reload when just Super Active Reload will work fine.

    We're talking about farming money, not having fun. Instagib melee reduces your cash intake by an additional 25%, and it's rather superfluous (outside of besekers, of which you have a 1in7 chance of actually encountering every 10 waves) next to Super Active Reload.

    Haha. This happens to be too often when I try to rush in and take someone out. I get within shotgun blasting range looking for an instagib, only to realize I just squeezed a few bullets out of my Lancer. :)

    Ugh, still 65,000 away from level 3 Silverback and thus 1,065,000 away from Level 5 silverback.

    Thanks for the grind, epic! :P

    Seriously though, when did every game become an MMO grindfest?

    When the whole crowd that believes quality = amount of time invested in a game is directly proportional to the quality of the game gained ground (thanks Internet).

    You know, the silly people who claim just because they put 20 hours into a game that is was a quality game and a game they put 30 hours into was an even better game!

    I got in, but everyone's lagging up a shit-storm. I could tell it wasn't just me when there were people jumping backwards when they were trying to go forward.

    EDIT: Found this on the Epic forums regarding the playlist freezing:

    Hey,

    I've passed this on to the team to investigate. Sorry to hear you guys are running into trouble this morning. I'll see what I can find out so you can get into some sniper action ASAP!

    For anyone that's able to get through, Versus is the only one that lags, the other game modes should be okay. Just gonna play Horde till it gets sorted.
