your thoughts about the 1.40 patch. (for those that have a working one)

[Minmaster]

it's not gone silly, you're just not looking it the right way. enable hidden files, and check off the box hide protected system files. you probably forgot to do the second part. it's not just gonna disappear one day...

Hmm.. i cant even get onto a map now.. instead of stopping loading at 50%, it now stops at 75% and my radial file is gone.. (

I don't understand how people are saying pod surfing is not possible anymore, yesterday on Highway Tampa a guy (name was moebbels or goebbels) spent the whole round pod surfing around the whole map taking out aircraft as he went. I was in a gunship and he went past me horizontally about 4 times faster than i was travelling and i couldn't catch him up.

So it's obviously still possible if he was doing it.

That'll be APC pod surfing, which is different.

As a side note, one thing i have noticed about this patch is this... my son has a named soldier on my account and his unlocks are now available with my soldier. What i mean is, my main soldier doesn't have the sniper decoy but my sons soldier does but when he's been playing and i play after him, i find myself with the unlock.

Thankfully the patching went without a hitch.

What comes to patch itself I think they overdid the clark RoF. No skill needed whatsoever anymore. Just click like a maniac when you bump into enemy and that's it.

Even when Highway is a nice addition they should have put the flags closer to eachother. Dice should have paid attention why Suez is the most popular titan map out there. It's quite tight and people like it so. Now Highway is destined to popular until the charm wears off.

What comes to podding I don't really care. There were enough pod surfing kills anyway. Even though beacon stalking is pretty lame.

I've been away from the game a couple of weeks. Downloaded and installed the patch from File Planet. No problems installing or playing.

What the heck is wrong with the patch.

I have tried to dl the patch from 3 different places, i have re-installed the whole game about 5 times today.

Patching goes well, i try to start the game and i see the starting screen, it closes and then nothing happens...

Anyone has any ideas?

Gun is not fixed. I've had a couple of instances of F-3 gun failure post-patch.

[Minmaster]

Another thing that I noticed not many people had tested:
The dreaded F3 Position of the EU Transport. It WORKS!!! The gun has worked in 4/4 instances in which I got put into this position and gotten kills!

you probably got lucky with that. it sometimes works, pre-1.40 patch.

DICE never stated they were fixing this bug for this patch, so i doubt it has been fixed. like i said, just conicidentally worked for you.

Pod Surfing Nerf: WTF was this for? In the change log it says that you can still move a bit, but thats a blatant lie. I hate being spawned 1 meter outside the wall on Camp G, and not being able to do a thing about it. Surfing across a map is something I can definitely live without, but I miss my rooftops already

So poddin is completly gone???

Im still trying to install the God Damn patch, and i have no idea how's the surfing now...

well i guess SLs just hafta be more careful where they place the beacon, though i seldom see beacons on the floor near the shields.

For the first time playing Suez titan, I was able to look out an AA gun on my titan and see an EU gunship being chased by a PAC gunship being chased by an EU gunship being chased by a PAC gunship. :laugh:

Damn i'd put that in my sig if it weren't for the 500-char limit =(

worst thing with the pod changes other than spawn campers is when your poding in off of the top of the enemy titan and happen to luck the random drop where your headed straight for their shields

I don't really care about the pod changes since i can't move the pod anyway :p, but did anyone try the rdx shotgun destoring all the apms, rdx, and motion mines? I saw a video about it. It was very effective when attack a titan. 2 shots apms gone.

Maybe I'm just not getting it, but I don't get the issue with the pod changes. Wasn't that only for the spawn beacon pod? Because for me, my pods from the transport, APC, and titan are exactly the same and I have just as much control as I did pre-1.4. I thought it was just so people couldn't land 30 feet away from the beacon like some could.

But the best part about this patch.....

Sweet, i hadn't tested the F3 gun on the transporter. Nice to hear it finally works

I must have had a huge glitch yesterday. I shot a guy in the face for several seconds yesterday and it did nothing. His 'getting hit' animation played with all the sound effects and nothing else happened up until he stood up from the prone position and blasted me inside the transport.

This was with the v1.4 patch...
