The newest patch for SMNC has now gone live. I went over a few changes in a previous post, but I didn't include the new rotation. The rotation is as follows; Assassin, Assault, Combat Girl, Sniper, Tank, Veteran.
I have only played as the Sniper so far during this rotation, but the first thing that struck me was his scope. The curved glass effect on it makes it really awkward to aim at anything close to medium distance. This shouldn't really be a problem as he is meant to be a long range class, however on Bullet Gorge Arena during the early part of the game the majority of the combat is in medium range. Thankfully his close range kit is rather impressive. I enjoy using his Flak and find it a lot more useful than the Gunslingers Gun Flurry since you don't have to stand still to use it. His traps are also huge when used during an annihilator fight, and they can hold someone in place while your team destroys them. I found myself using his alternate weapon and fighting in close range a lot more than using my sniper.
The final update that wasn't in the original patch notes is that they are now hosting Australian servers. It's great to see a game finally support the Australian market as I believe it's a huge scene that is sadly largely ignored.
Welcome to the blog everyone. I am currently playing Diablo 3, and will be posting some tactics along with theory crafting over the next few weeks. I will also occasionally post content from other games, so it's not all Diablo 3 related!
Are you looking for an Australian Minecraft Tekkit server, one right in your backyard? Tired of playing on Minecraft hosting servers outside the country, with too much lag and a base of players that don’t speak your language or aren’t on when you want to play? It’s time to take a look at our growing community.
ReplyDeleteWe’re a solid new survival multiplayer Minecraft server running Tekkit, the multiplayer port of the hugely popular Technic mod to Minecraft. As you probably already know, Tekkit adds a host of new technological options to SMP, reinventing the game entirely. Anybody can do a little mining and craft a diamond pickaxe. The Tekkit and Technic collection of mods challenge your mind and mastery of the Minecraft universe by introducing ways to construct incredible machines, allowing you to automate mining, manufacture materials, or even create your own fully-functioning computer. Where Tekkit’s concerned, the only limit to what you can accomplish is your own imagination.
