@Smalltownguy

Here's what I remember from beta and what seems different here...
*Increased movement speed only while charging, not when firing, in beta*
*Unable to swap properly in beta (ammo counter resets would not properly occur)*
Pulsar line increased fire speed but not significant damage decrease in beta

Those first two differences are EXTREMELY important - swapping made up a large part of gunning's skillcap and appeal, so it's nice to see that it's not removed. The increased movement speed while firing is going to mean that swapping does have a tradeoff though - you'll move slower when shielding, but not while firing, meaning that you can now opt not to swap some shots in order to increase your mobility while still dealing some (albeit reduced) damage.

It's beautiful.

Autofire

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!

The world is coming to an end.

This is like...

What. The. Heck?

Eh, its just a load of guns and gear. Nothing to squeal about.

I quote:

Catalyzer Line
- Normal attacks now cling to mobs and charge shots detonate them
- Charge shot has an aura around it that activates any catalyzer orbitals within it

THAT'S SOMETHING TO SQUEAL ABOUT!

I wonder if: -Magnus charge

I wonder if:
-Magnus charge clipping has been fixed.
- Wall charge issues have been fixed.
- Particle effects on the Magma Driver got fixed
- Nog Blaster had its texture seems fixed and given unique shot graphics.
- Magma/Nova/Umbra/Nog will ever get unique sound effects.

I fear that Catalyzer has been compromised due to pandering.

Jabbzz, getting good marks, a good job and a good life are much more important than some update in a game....

algorithms are the solutions to any problem.

I second autofire here, catalyzer could become the most OP weapon of the game.
gotta try blitz though. and pepperbox.

Sir-Greenlink

Is it just me or is anyone else struggling to launch the game? It validates and then never opens, despite being in the processes tab of task manager. Ending the process and reopening causes the same effect.

Also, insert obligatory hype here!

Steam problem. When I executed the standalone client, it worked fine. Unfortunately, all my orbs are on the steam char.

Not Launching through Steam

So I installed the update today like I'm sure the rest of you have and for some strange reason, the game does not launch anymore through steam. I am really confused. Should I do as the steam support site says?
