I will say this much: this is about the only online game I can think of that it's fun to be a healer in... Probably because healing is essentially the same as attacking but in reverse... Er, you get what I mean.

Agreed. I really enjoy the healing side of things at times, since you can boost, dash and generally make it a bitch for the other team to take you down while doing it. Especially that central room in the training area map for Capture the Flag, since its so chaotic in there you can boost all over the place in the air while your team mates slice up everyone trying to shoot at you.

I started getting sick of the grind while taking shit from the twinked out mechs. So I paid my $5 and bought some weapons to help me out (i'd already ground out one of those rushniks with regular ingame cash)
I guess I chose the wrong weapons because it sucked. I wish the item descriptions would tell you precisely what the items do.
I've speared people in the noob mech (pinky or whatever) like 5 times in a row with some super damaging spear I bought for like 200 coins and still not killed them. :_(
I will say this though, it takes a damn fun free game to get me to pay money for premium parts. I did the same for Gunz, but then I ran into the dreaded game killing bug: k-styling.
Then I went to jail for life because I murdered over 150 koreans in a sheer fit of rage.
If you want weapons that destroy worlds, buy Zeus-Persuader D's (they're rifles)
my god
Do they lose the stun effect the Cs have? Because now I've been playing with them a while I don't want to give that up. Also, all the parts seem fairly balanced outside of your default mech pieces and perhaps the Sonic Boom.
They keep the stun but gain quite a bit of damage. They overheat faster, but that hasn't really been a problem with rifles for me. That said, I doubt I'm going to shell out actual cash to get them... but they're super good.

I may need to upgrade then. Rifles aren't too bad with the overheating and the stun gives you distance to make up for that anyway.

i started this game up about a week ago, and after seeing this thread, i've colored my mech blue (arms/legs) and yellow (head/booster/core.) i'm not saying this has to be uniform, but if we came up with a color set that we could identify each other by instantly, it would be awesome.
i shelled out $10 on some coins, too, and bought a mech set (the one with the ridiculous SP), 2 skills, a ZP-D, and an annihilator-D. current setup is blade/rifle in one, apogee cannon in the other. the idea is that you stun/weaken with the rifle, which lets you close in with melee and chop them to pieces. i'm thinking of getting a rocket launcher instead of the cannon, because having to stand still is a huge handicap- or getting a rectifier/shield combo for support, defense, and being able to run the hell away.
my 2 mechs are orange and blue, one is blue on everything but the core and booster, the other is orange except for the core and booster, it looks pretty good
We should make the colors pink and light pink because it's so funny when girlee things win because it's ironic teehee.
But seriously if we get people to play at the same time and a color scheme that would be really nice.
It would be.
I'm getting kind of burnt out playing this. I hit 16 and finally got my arms I'd been saving up for, but now I've gotta save 66k again just for new rectifiers and then who knows how much for new weapons.

Yeah, same here. I only play LS a couple times if I'm really bored or if PAers are playing, but no one ever is or at least never say they are, JJ.
Does the money you earn scale up with your level? Im only lvl 5 atm the holy shit would it take forever to buy some of the upper tier items with the in game cash if you're only makin 500-1500 monies per round. Guess I need to try CTF and LS....
and thanks for the recommendation with the hellrazor shotgun and spear, i love spears to death but they seem so friggin weak compared to swords with their multiple swings.
So is this gameguard thing really that bad? I'm tempted as all get, and I ran Gunz and a few other supposed Gameguard-bundled games on my last PC and it seemed fine, but I don't want to mess up my pride and joy.

Well, all I get is an error message for my wireless usb router adapter thing whenever I close the game though it doesn't do anything other than for my to press the "okay" button.
I really like the Black/Red look. I haven't seen a mech design that looks bad in black and red. While they're not traditional PA colours they do have the advantage of looking awesome.
And Feelgood, yep, though I go dual rifles and dual rectifiers.
Yeah, thats my plan once I get enough cash. For now I'm going one in each hand and my other set is the stuff you start with just for when I get bored.
I'm kind of fearing melee people once I go dual rifles / dual rects, though, as they're already a huge pain in the ass (for a healer)... then again it seems like a bunch of people don't really make it a point to protect me, either. Guess I need to invest in a Dispenser booster to keep moving around as well.
As a spear user i get smeared constantly by the sword guys... it sucks
The spear is pretty much always at a disadvantage, the trick is forcing them to go into a swing combo, then getting a couple strikes in while they are frozen.
Having a gun in your other hand is a good option for spears, so you can pepper them abit, then hit em with the spear to pop em.
I use the Sonic Boom for my booster, you can boost forever on that since it sounds like your mech is loaded out similar to mine. That helps with the minimum range issue and the stun you get from the Zeus' shorts them out for long enough to get more distance up.
Melee pilots, when I see them coming I just wait till they're almost in range, boost jump and then over their heads and head off in the opposite direction shooting them with my rifles. Plus the Zeus Persuaders have excellent range, you can usually get 5-6 shots off if they're coming at you.
Plus due to the rifles range, you can just find a nice high spot and plink away at people. Though I've noticed that peoples weapons are starting to do more damage far quicker than I can heal them with the rectifiers. As far as I know the rectifier at the top of the list is the best one around and while its excellent for the 1-14 bracket, your team mates start dying faster once you hit 1-24.

As a spear user, I consider myself the rock to sword users' paper. Spears have better range and better disruption than swords, and a sword user needs to try and get in close with you. As long as you can dance them at your max range, they won't be able to close for a hit.
This is how I roll. These hands bring either healing or electronic stunning balls of death.
The black and red looks good, but I'll admit its awfully similar to a lot of other ones around. In the case of a tie our colours will have to be pink and white.
yeah, i just bought one. worth every last credit. the best part is that it barely hinders your movement, so those twats that gun straight for the heavy weapons just get slaughtered by point blank death rockets. takes a little while to adjust to the lack of homing, but once you do, it's so very very satisfying- and it's the most fun weapon i've had the opportunity to test out so far. love it.
oh, and since blue/yellow or orange didnt take off, have we tried blue/white? it seems like every 12-year-old is going around in the black/red combo. or better still, what about yellow or orange and black? BEES OF DEATH.

This is something I can get behind.
Awesome games earlier Squirrel. Its always good to have a oversized robot toting a rocket launcher around to take cover behind when everyone wants to kill you.

Yeah, really fun games. You were just sweeping up the scoreboard with your dual rectifiers.
They really, really wanted to kill me. I get that a lot.
My primary is the dual smgs from the tutorial. They don't cost me anything and I already spend enough credits repairing my arms, legs, booster, and rocket.

hrm.. ok will do.
but what about after that?
Anyone have a fix for that failed to initialize gamemon bs? Its the only thing stopping me.
When your own flag is picked up they say "snatched," which is a much more excellent word.
They say "we have recaptured our flag back" when the flag is returned, too, which is hilarious.
Maybe my TF2 playing is altering my perceptions.

is that the error you get when starting the game? If you click and skip the intro video it should avoid that error.
I may need to upgrade then. Rifles aren't too bad with the overheating and the stun gives you distance to make up for that anyway.
I take it you use rifles / rectifiers?
high five.

It doesn't even get to the intro video. It goes to run the game and then stops and gives me that message.

This is pretty much the same color scheme I have, and I seem to be dying a lot more with the red than when I was white.

you know that 56,000 credit rocket launcher?
the big red Death Hurler.

Red/black is a no go, about half of the players in the game seem to be red/black.
Should probably make a poll of it.

What was your other weapon set? I'm sure I saw you with SMGs and a sword at some point.
