Super Monday Night Combat Invitational - Now with more DOTA!
- Thread starter Goon Boon
- Start date
I honestly have no idea if I am doing well or not until the match is over... I also feel like the hit feedback is severely lacking. I never can tell if I am getting hit or hitting someone else so I just die over and over. The support class seems to be the only thing I can play and not die in seconds with. Just heal a tank class and move your turret up as far as you can. I should probably play some practice matches before I try again and read up on a tutorial or something.

Everything seems to work but aiming with the right stick. I imagine its on their to do list.
This is exactly why I don't enjoy the game. I played as assault and I felt like I wasn't doing damage to anything. If I was the game wasn't giving proper feed back.
Its just too much like that noob experience in a DotA game, where nothing makes sense and you just feel lost and overwhelmed. I really don't like that out of this game. MNC never really made me feel that way.
Aiming works with the right stick. At first it didn't work for me as well, but then in game I scrolled through the different control types and went back to Standard and the right stick started working.

I've been using a PS3 controller emulated in motionjoy since the start of the beta. Everything works fine.

Ive been trying to, her and the Gunner. She is pretty awesome but I have had some bad games with her with no kills ahaha.
combat girl is my favorite, once you level up the combat kitties she can really fortify a section on the map. usually she is the best for the annihilator but make sure you have atleast level 3 kitties by first anni, then head up there before anni is ready set up and rape...lol
i also like to get close to the enemy bot lanes and set up kitties there on top of the arch way, the one thing i love is that you can set up the kitties on anything were as the support has a stronger turret but cant set it upside down or attach it to any wall.
i tried out the gunner but i didnt like him very much, he doesnt play the same to me like he did in MNC.
Probaly should be in the OP but login in here with your Steam ID if you want to get into the beta.
Back when it was in closed beta, it too them 5 days to send me a key.

I can't get ANYTHING on my controller to be recognized by the game despite it working fine on other steam and 360 games since I wanted to make sure it wasn't my pad.
Gunner's minigun is more important than his mortars now (since the mortars travel farther before splitting) and has to rely on his teammates to get out of trouble since he has no speed boost/getaway skills. Upgrade your Minigun to duals right away and ambush people like whoa.
I've mainly played Tank and Veteran during the Beta. Definitely like Veteran. Feels like a stronger assassin that can pull foes to him instead of cloaking. Tank is pretty meh. Product Grenade maxed is great for bot waves, but his damage is pretty laughable. The railgun is pretty much worthless until level 10+ and even then, you're better off chucking product nades at them. This was pre-update 17 when they increased his damage so I'm not sure how he plays since.
ok cool will try that out, also his rocket seems weak? am i crazy
Yeah they aren't too powerful, but you have to consider they are a fire and forget skill. Plus at level 4, you can lock onto multiple targets.

The controller controls are bugged certainly, one works but forward and back are switched around. Other one works on every game but this. I've played using the switched sticks, fun times but at least it works.
The game itself is great but its like everyone stands on a line up, waiting for someone to cross too far then all 4-5 guys gang up on you for a kill. Problem is, what does Veteran do?
GRAB PEOPLE ACROSS THE MAP. These guys last night, a... "Gangsta" Clan i guess played and this is what they did. Vet would grab people and then chain grapple with the rest of his team mates. They got to the point that they trapped us in spawn and (i know this is a bug) grab people out of spawn.
To say the least, nobody got over $600.
There's many little things i don't like, especially buying upgrades and characters. I hate playing games that I have to play a ton just to be on equal playing field with people.
Just wait till you face a gunner with 25% higher fire rate, especially with the tissue paper gunslinger.
It might seem like I'm complaining a lot but its really good when you just push, dominate, have total reversals from your moneyball to a win.

this is exactly how i felt about the original mnc as well. i always thought it was too conservative in implementing dota mechanics so i am excited to see how the sequel has shaped up.
Media is free to post. The Invitational no longer has an NDA.

Trying to learn how to play a commando (assassin) because everybody wants to play em, but nobody wants to learn how to play em. Bong bong.
Idk, i think they're plenty strong when coupled with machine gun. Once you get them leveled up, the cool down so fast and you'll do a quarter to half health with a single rocket depending on the pro you're hitting.

Hiyoo! Rule Change 20 here. We're lookin' live at Downtown Spunky Arena!
New map week! Downtown Spunky Arena has been added to the map rotation. In keeping with history we're releasing this map in an unfinished art state. It will go through continued art revisions just as Bullet Gorge has. The Downtown Spunky layout was inspired by the layout of Monday Night Combat's Spunky Cola Arena and updated to fit Super MNC's game mechanics.
Products! The Product System is now unlocked. To set your products go to locker room, click on the "Products" tab and create a product set. After building a product set you can use that set in a custom class or during Pro choosing before a game. What Products are and how they work are described below. Products can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=43&t=12459&p=187277#p187277
As always, feel free to leave us feedback on http://www.uberent.com/forums!
New Rules
New Free Pro Rotation: Sniper, Captain Spark, Karl, Combat Girl, Cheston
Greatly changed the calculation to determine if you earn a 'leave' in a game. Should happen less often.
New message HUD UI. Now shows an icon along with descriptive text.
Improved in-game VOIP chat.
Added new audio to the end game scoreboard.
New position icons for Strikers, Commandos, Enforcers, Sharpshooters, and Defenders
Products
Added full Products system
Products add new game play, as opposed to Endorsments that just alter statistics.
Products are used when an in-game event occurs. There are products that use when you juice, die, respawn, make a kill, and more.
Products have an in-game Pro Level requirement. This means you have to get enough XP, in game, to attain the level that turns that product on. Once you reach that level it will start working. Products that don't list it's Pro Level requirement are unlocked all the time and will work immediately at the start of the game.
Products can be unlocked for you, the Agent, via combat credits.

I should rephrase that. They changed it so it's faster at lower levels but never reached the max speed it did before (1080). They took it's tier 3 speed and made that it's speed every level now.

Intriguing. With this going F2P, it looks like the best thing is to just wait it out and not bother with the first one then. Is it ok to ask for invites here or do we have another thread for that? Because I'd love to get in on this.

I think it'd be okay since interest in this game isn't exactly filling the thread. IF you want an idea of what the game plays like, here's a post I made a few pages back:
The GB QuickLook is an hour long but it's a good quicklook with one of the devs sitting in as well.
So, oipic was kind enough to invite me to the beta earlier today, and I just got a code in the mail after that so first to quote gets it.
Just a couple of things, be sure you want to play the game please, so you don't take a spot out of someone who really wants in... and if you get some extra invites with that at least give one back to GAF =) Thanks.

I didn't like the first as much, but hearing this was more MOBA-like, I'm interested.

I still wonder if I would prefer things if lethality was bumped up again and we were looking at something like 15 minute matches on average. Sometimes I feel like i'm just not being impactful, which is often the same feeling I get when I play other dota clones or dota itself, but it feels a bit off in an action game like this.
