Cyonvi says Phantom DR is only 75%, btw. Still too much.

 I know some players who refuse to play off host .

 

I rarely host because I just want to get into a game quick and I cant stand players complaining about my Aussie hosting .

 

I am happy if there is a just a little lag that allows me to play a fairly normal game .

On the ocassions where I host I feel almost invincible - like I am playing with Cyclonic V

Break Phantom Swords and beat the b*tches up! 

While it is funny to b**** slap a phantom around, I'll say that I think she is more dangerous with her mini nuke cannon.

True, but she can't do it while she's being staggered to death.

Hi,   is it true that certain weapons don't perform as well off-host?     

I've seen on some posts that the GPS is one that doesn't perform as well off-host,   is this true?

Are there any other weapons affected by whether you host or not?

The projectile weapons suffer most

[capn233]

And considering that you can't headshot them while they bubble if you don't have a shitton of penetration, and, and, and...

 

Thanix missile.

- Missile Lanucher

- GPS

- KHG

- Striker(Maybe. I've never tried it on a terrible host)

- Crusader

- Graal Spike Thrower

- Acolyte

- Scorpion(Don't have it yet, but I think so)

- Venom(I've had some delays in the shot on bad hosts).

 

Pretty much what I can think of.

I don't play with those weapons enough to remember them, although, the Falcon would be my favorite from the three I missed that you pointed out.

Crusader and Acolyte are fine off-host for me.  I haven't hosted yet and didn't have a problem with these two weapons off-host.

I haven't tested the Crusader enough, but for the Acolyte, on bad off-hosts, it can sometimes have a half a second to a second delay when firing its shots.

I have experienced that sometimes (I use the Acolyte quite a lot), but IMO it's not that annoying...

 

Well, at least if the lag doesn't reach the point where even shooting bullets is annoying.

I prefer to play on-host for my more latency dependant kits. Thing is, I play many of them. Last night I was lagging a lot and I was playing a Siege Pulse/GPS Juggernaut. My shots weren't registering, I lost missiles because of lag and we ended up wiping because of it. My BatSent uses the Venom and I don't like shooting blanks. My Tech Armour specced HSent has a tough time when I press Y to reactivate, only to have it pop or not pop, or I dunno. My host is good, for most part, at least for those I care to play with, so in the end, it all works out.

I've never had problems with the crusader off-host

GPS though, good lord that is a mess on the majority of other hosts

It ****** pisses me off that the bubble blocks melee. You run in with a pimp hand and someone fires a projectile power and you're fucked at that point.

Crusader is fine off-host.  Never had a problem with the Acolyte either.  I really don't have problems with the GPS most of the time, due to the "homing" that the projectiles have.  My biggest off-host problems are:

- Graal:  Sometimes shots will register (and even impact) but do no damage.  Happens more often with charged shots.

- Kishock:  Really hard to hit things at long range off-host.  Also suffers from same problem as the Graal on charged shots.

- Venom:  Worst gun for "disappearing" shots, in my opinion.  You HAVE to aim at the floor, because shots will often go right through enemies.  They will sometimes go right through the floor too, but that's a different problem.

On-host lag is real!!!!

Actually, yeah, it's real...

[ajscott819]

Off host grenades are fun too! Nothing like trying to grenade spam yourself out of trouble only to not throw any at all.

[valium]

this can all be simplified

 

on-host is great, off-host sucks

I actually prefer playing off host if the connection is really good. Sadly you don't find that many solid hosts these days.

Words can't describe how annoying this is

That's only because you can't mod the Phantoms DR to 0
