I've found they're pretty easy to fool. The key is..

Turn your music off. You can hear a sequence of beeps that indicates A: it's locking on, and B: when it's locked and firing. Once you hear the sequence finish, do one of the following:

If jetpacking in the air, let off the jet, then hold A or D+jet for about 1/4 a second (this propels you slightly left or right), then depress A/D and continue jetting forward.

If skiing, continue skiing forward and repeat the step above - strafe left or right with 1/4 second jet burst.

It takes a bit to "feel" it, but once you do, they're pretty easy to avoid. I'd suggest dry flag runs until you're confident in your ability to know the target stages by ear.

Note: I play pathfinder, and this works for me @ high speeds.

Considering dropping the cash for this game...what do I get if I purchase it, and how much does it cost, or would I be better off purchasing coins, or what? And will it carry over after beta?

according to the site everything carries over. Paying gets you $30 worth of gold coins that allow you to purchase in game loadouts instead of waiting to aquire it through playing. You also get lifetime vip status and finally you get a certain amount double exp... I think its a week? I think its a $10 dollar value. supposedly you are getting $40 dollars worth of stuff for $30 dollars.

edit: just kidding its 30 days of double exp valued at $15 dollars.
Also, I have no idea what vip status means.

My impression is the $30 pack isn't worth it. For $8, you get permanent VIP status (extra 50% boosts forever) and 10 days of 100% boost. If you play at that rate, it'll only take you like 30 hours to unlock all of the classes through gameplay. 3000 gold is way more than anyone needs.

Is there a list of console commands anywhere? I have looked for them without success.

Also, feel free to add me, SnorklePC and drop me a message so I can add you back etc.


edit: the only reason llama grabs are successful right now is because people are too stupid to play defense, I have top fraged quite a few games (and i haven't played many yet) by just playing a heavy class and clowning on flag campers.

Also, what's with the hit detection on this man. I'm knifing when people are ~50 feet away, and when the animation ends, they fly by me, and I get the kill. Same kind of wacky shit going on with projectile weapons and all that. I'd shoot, and it would explode ~2 meters under them, but it would act like it was a direct impact.

Yeah check your ping on connection, if it is really high join another server or just flag run only, because high ping and bad detection is too frustrating otherwise.

some new stuff:

a long frag highlights video of T2, some amazing stuff. Particularly right at the end, total spectator bliss (minute 29 on)

The esports rep from hi-rez was on the first one, and I came on the second to discuss the finer elements of designing a title for esports. if you have any questions you'd like brought up or looked at by the casters or asked to HRez, feel free to post them here and I'll try and ask them when I'm next on the cast.
