  1. Well, of course, if you ve got the budget for an ssd get it, you will benefit very much from it.

    Just wanted to point out, that during gaming you want see much of a difference from it...

    I know that. I am sort of PC pro certified. I'm just tired of waiting 5 minutes to start up. That's also why it's lower priority to processor and memory.

  2. I would love that considering my past of Dota play. Might get some hate from the SMITE community though, considering they have a TPMOBA. We'd have to do something to distinguish it heavily from their game. Really we'd just have to implement a slightly different credits system and add AI controlled neutrals/lane "creeps" Maybe tweak the defense damage so that they could be potentially destroyed by the creeps and we could do something like what Heroes of the Storm did with the Dragon Knight as a system for adding vehicles. We definitely don't want something that is basically an already existing game that is made in the Command and Conquer universe.

  3. Creeps, shop placement, yes, that has a huge effect on the game. Ward locations don't provide the same vision. You can do the triple pull trick on the radiant side and not the dire, access to certain parts of the map have different timings, it has an extreme effect on the gameplay. There was a time when picking Lycan was instant GG, loss if picked on radiant and win if picked on dire. They are incredibly different, and playing on each side is a completely different experience.

  4. New setup

    CPU: Intel Core i7-5820K @ 3.30GHz

    GPU: EVGA GTX980 Superclocked ACX 2.0

    Memory: Crucial 4GB DDR4 2133 X8

    MB: MSI X99S SLI PLUS

    Same cheap HDD, cheap DVD drive, Sound card cut out, basically higher raw performance, but less other features, These i'll throw in later.

  5. Patch - 450

    Highly underutilized, Patch is an infantry killing machine. His super assault rifle will render an enemy to a pile of flesh in moments. He's a very one-dimensional character, however, and is very vulnerable in the open so use with caution.

    ....I wouldn't call a character that can out out damage Gunner vs. vehicles, kill multiple infantry in a single clip, and do decent damage to a building's MCT alone a one-dimensional. Under-utilised, yes, but that's about it.

    Also, McFarland isn't even close to being 'broken' anymore...the hell game are you playing?

    Also, I'm 90% sure that the explosive resistances of the Flamethrower and Chem Trooper didn't make it over to RenX unless they snuck them in at some point.

    Someone is using Havoc/Sakura when we don't have a Barracks/HoN

    Spam a Marksman maybe? Marksman doesn't even need to aim that well...just spray in most Sak's general direction and they'll either move or retreat. Just don't be the dumbass that tries to head-up fight a Sakura with the Marksman then complain they're OP.

    #WhereDaGunnerRush

    #PatchOP

    I think the direct taken damage from flame/chem is still standard (C4 attached directly to them, direct hits from rockets) But AoE damage is reduced I'm sure.

  6. I'd have to admit that it's outdone by many other weapons against infantry, but it still is strong against infantry. Plus the projectiles are a bit slow, but that's only ever a problem against maybe buggies and sometimes aircraft, unless you're really awful at leading.

  7. I think the Laser Chain Gun is OP...

    If anything the Tactical Rifle is OP.

    No it is not.

    See? This is why I love Patch! He's so OP and nobody realizes it. Excellent damage on all fronts, good sustain, great range (especially if you are good at leading) all for only 450 credits!

  8. Okay, I fiddled around and found a computer you could build that could work well.

    Case: DIYPC Skyline-B Black Steel

    HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST31000528AS 1TB 7200 RPM

    Memory: 4X G.SKILL NS F3-10600CL9S-2GBNS (8GB total)

    Motherboard: ASRock B85 Anniversary

    CPU: Intel Core i5-4590 Haswell Quad-Core 3.3GHz

    Power Supply: 650W Dual 12V Rails Power Supply for HP Compaq 5188 2625 5188 2626 5188 2627 ATX

    GPU: Radeon HD 6970

    Grand Total: €598.69

    Includes cost of SATA cable and Thermal paste.

  9. I personally think any i3 won't be great. I'd look up benchmarks of video cards vs price as well, the rest seems sound, 8 GB memory is more than enough unless you'll be recording or something. The video card and CPU are probably what you'll be concentrating most of your money on. Overall I'd reckon building your own computer is the best choice of action rather than one premade. It takes a little know how, but it's nothing you can't learn through a bit of quick research.

  10. Although stalemates can be annoying. I had a match on islands where we both only had rax/hon, we cratecamped until we had an APC, loaded it up with engies and tried to rush hon, still unable to take it, and repeated at least 3 times. The point is that neither of us were making progress, and it was a marathon server so the map had no time limit. Nothing was happening at all, and most of us were getting sick of failed attempt after failed attempt.

  11. IMO the volt rifle isn't as underpowered as you say it is, in defense it actually isn't bad as you can sustain it's ammo hunger by refilling in base, it's better against infantry than the PIC/Rail unless you have really good aim since Rail/PIC is burst, I would have to agree that it's range is it's severe handicap though. It could use a buff, and the others maybe a small nerf. I see Volt as being the jack-of-all trades of the 1000s being able to do good damage against vehicles and infantry, PIC/Rail being the antitank, and Ramjet being the anti infantry. Currently though the Ramjet does good damage to vehicles as well. I personally think the Ramjet should deal very weak vehicle damage, but other damages remain the same, PIC/Rail returning to the 1 shot 1 long reload, but increase the damage to make it deal similar DPS to make it weaker against infantry, and the Volt's range increased and spread decreased a bit.

  12. I often panicked when the beacon had already been disarmed but there was no cue that it was so I agree that there needs to be an improvement on that regard.

    Direction damage indicator does exist, just it's a bit different, such as tiberium put damage on all directions, and when an explosion damages you it points towards the explosion and not the source of the explosion.
