And the "snapping" part as reference to my earlier comment about the "armed and dangerous turtle". This turtle has teeth, and they are made from chainguns
And yes, I prefer to not move around much. Staying stationary and triggerhappy suits me much better.
Truth be told, you and I are much like Blastoises with our gold farming equipment: we have blue arms and legs, a pale chest, a blue head with pointed ears, and we carry huge guns.

And guess what showed up on 3rd place of my Google search for "chaingun turtle"?
Yes, our little thread here.

Just ran a Serpent match to check out the health bar, graphics, and hopefully Mithril fixes (I know, I know, I'm going to bed right now), aaaaaand the pay-out is lower.

No Mithril, less Gold... Hooray for the update!

DBC
Excellent...I feel much better now

Default Firing properties of the M-27B1 and the Laser Cannon

TO ANYONE WITH AN M-27 OR A LASER CANNON: this might be of interest to you...

I can't remember who it was, but someone on this thread once mentioned that if you take out a sword, swing it, and then change to the M-27 midway through your swing, you will start firing without needing to wait for the gun to warm up. I just went and tested this out in a multiplayer match, and I found some rather intriguing results regarding the M-27 and the Laser Cannon:

If you hold down the firing button for more than one second with any weapon and then change to the M-27 or the Laser Cannon (and presumbly the MCP76 as well), you will immediately start firing with no charge-up time.
Note that the Laser Cannon's overheat and cooldown behaves rather strangely if it is one of the weapons involved in this technique:
  1. The Laser Cannon will not cool down while you are holding down the fire button, even if you switched to another weapon before it overheated. This means you can't simply switch back and forth between the Laser Cannon and the Crab or the M-27B1 to let the cannon cool down while maintaining an utterly insane damage output.

  2. If you stop firing with another weapon out, the Laser Cannon will take a certain amount of time to cooldown completely. If you start firing again before this time has elapsed, the cannon will not have cooled down at all.

  3. Regarding the above point, the Laser Cannon WILL cool down normally if you have it out after using this continuous firing technique. If you switch weapons before it completely cools down though, it will behave the same way as the previous point: no further cooling down will occur until a certain amount of time has elapsed, where overheating will instantly drop to zero; if you start firing again before this time has elapsed, no cooldown will have occurred since you put the weapon away.

Truth be told, this doesn't necessarily make that big a difference to our existing playstyles, because one second means very little when most of us have already developed the skills to dodge enemy attacks. However, it might be something fun you'd like to toy around with -- it sounds particularly useful for M-27 users who want to mitigate the start-up lag when they're competing for kills during the enemy rush phase.

Yes, our little thread here.
Who would have ever thought that something so deadly would looks so cute :P

-----------

Also, I think we just figured out how to distinguish each other: you're the "Snapping" Turtle, whereas my original title earlier in the thread was the "Hillside/Camping" Turtle. Sound about right? >.>

Sure, fine with me. You are the senior turtle, so to speak, so I will defer to your judgement and wisdom

Just be aware that the Camping Turtle looks much less threatening. Here is proof from in the wild:

But then...looks can be deceiving. That is not a surfboard, it is a bloody Cruise Missile:

We need a few more of our kind...Go Team Turtle!

What can I say...as a senior turtle, so I like to take things easy and look less threatening :P

Be warned, though: every so often, I'll strip off my bulky turtle shell and start zipping around scantily clad in the Thunder Armour. At this point, I go from a camping turtle to a streaking turtle >____>

Turtles for life! :P

You might not like it too much:
  • Serpent's gold drop has been reduced, to reflect the fact that the majority of players find Double Rages more challenging.
  • The team multiplier has been reverted to the old system - your teammates now have to survive to the end of the boss fight for you to get the extra 25% gold per player.
  • The video ads now give $3000 per video instead of 1 mithril. Not that it matters at this point (for me anyway), because neither of them work.
  • Capture the Flag has been included in PvP - this is the one aspect of the update I somewhat like.

No new weaponry or equipment in this package, though I actually want to change the fight dynamics itself with some new alien types and bosses. Not to mention tweaks to discourage freeloading, and a communication system, but we'll have to make do with Freyr advertising this thread and the player group for us on their own forum :P
