Be interesting how it is viewed by the developer/publisher - dunno if against the terms or whatever, though the key sequences are really getting old for me personally.

Interesting some companies are purposefully marketing products for stratagem macros though.

I'd say about 60% of the randoms I've played with are using macros though.

I had an issue last night where I could not use any stratagems.

Pressing crtl did nothing and in the top left all I had was the option to call in someone with the combination below it but still could not do that. Nothing else was listed and had to close the game down and re join to get it working again.

Think I did trying to call someone in and it bugged out thinking I was still holding the item to throw.

Played this morning for an hour without any issues. Had no disconnects for awhile

I know if you've just exited the Patriot suit (mech) your map bugs you, so you need to hit tab a couple of times to go in/out it and then strategems start to work again. Only time I've had an issue with them so far though - however it's pretty reliably bugged!
 
My favourite one is if you do anything with the SSD, your animations break and your guy is holding out his arms for a hug. Which is particularly terrifying if you go prone and your torso is just bolt up right, arms spread :D
 
New Warbond coming in a couple of days:


I'm nearly to 1000 Super Credits again so might drop them on this one
 
Played. Bugs/glitches have gone and difficulty has been adjusted. Played on extreme. 2 bile titans handful of chargers. Extracted with 23 samples 15 rares did all the sides.

The balance changes are welcome. Trying out all types of builds now. Scout armour with padded arms and the stamina boost - can pretty much run forever. The shotgun is super effective against medium armour.

Performance also seems to have been fixed. No artifacts or anything. Smooth fps.

The devs need it to randomise the sequence on each game/match start , Make it real interesting then, Also stop all the Marcos cheaters too.

People who are determined will just use image analysis to update the macro on the fly.

Personally on the fence on the issue as I often play after work when a bit fatigued and it is the one aspect of the game that I can't really deal with when tired.

I guess but very few would go to that extent I would have thought.

They could even go as far as every press of "ctrl" key would generate a different combo.

Have to admit it is a pain at times, It's when you are in the thick of it is when it gets ya most. But I feel that;s the whole point of it though.
 
I think it's such a simple mechanic that adds so much to the tension that it's a bit of a shame the macros and voice apps are negating the whole thing.

Maybe it could be an added mutator at higher difficulties like scramble, as above randomising the sequence every time you attempt it.

It's PVE, they are only removing a mechanic that really affects them and their experience. I don't really care either way. I think it's a core mechanic of the game so won't macro it but don't mind others doing whatever they want.
 
Don’t find people using macros spoils my enjoyment of the game if I’m honest. You need to get a grip a lil if that frustrates you.

As for changing the combos, absolutely not. There is a skill game in itself in being able to remember the combos for reinforcements etc and pull them off massively quick.

A bit sad to essentially cheat in PvE, no?
 
I dont' see how it's a cheat, shady yes but there's likely players with accessibility issues which are doing it for that reason too.

It is PVE and not an MMO so I don't see it as a major issue.

Don't see the skill game side of it - just get used to saying the directions mentally in your head and it is a breeze - don't even need to memorize them. Only time I find it challenging is when tired and mentally fatigued and then it is just a drag.

The desperate scramble if you need to get a resurrection down in a tight situation can be interesting, the mess if you spawn in with the team already overrun not so much.
