Be Less Derp


Having fun making these - got a nod from Tramell twice and Margaret Krohn (both Sony PS2 developers) subscribed which is kinda cool. I haven't made videos like these before so hopefully some will find stuff useful. Now excuse me as my outfit leader is about to slap me with a fish for every attempt at humor...

I will update the forum as I go - the wife just finished watching me make the third one to see how these are made and had a hard time keeping the laughter in while recording, which I guess is a good sign... maybe.

Videos like this are handy for new players, especially considering how the tutorial just sort of drops you into the middle of things. Literally.

Yeah - I like that Sony's channel has some too, but hopefully these are still appealing.

Oh dang, maybe I should have had this in the new player questions section. If a mod wants to move it, feel free.

I'll try, and thanks for the compliments! If you see anything that should be included in a future update, let me know.

I may work on another one tonight, but I've got so much to do for tomorrow (company coming) and also I HAVE to be at the final night of City of Heroes' existence, a game that is very near and dear to me.

If you have any tips you would like included in the next one, I'll be happy to put it in and give credit.

Did you ever also dabble in Champions online? Your Avatar/name seems vaguely familiar....

Q! Not the james bond guy... not the STTNG god, the key. Right next to "werty".

While pointing at a nearby (200-ish meters?) it lets folks near you know they're there by pointing those spiffy red triangles over the bad guys heads/vehicles.

If you press and hold on a friendly, it'll give you this great radial menu with options like "tell", "mute", and "DROOLING MORON! HOLD STILL SO I CAN HELP YOU!".

If an enemy you spotted is killed, you get a small XP bonus. You can also see an enemy's health if they've been spotted and you aim at them.

Enemy vehicles start off spotted when in range UNLESS they equip a stealth defense module, when they must be spotted manually.

There are plans on the board (or so I'm told) to make Infiltrator spotting Better in some way than the usual stuff. How exactly remains to be seen.

------

Middle mouse button: In any vehicle, middle mouse will let you free look around.

Liberators & free look: The pilot's GUN tracks with their view. Check Checkers and Dischem Specials. It has about the same field of fire/view as an ATV, but some is better than none.

(Pro Tip: Land a liberator on a biolab pad aimed at the entrance and you can be pretty sure no one will survive attempting to come out as you MOW WHEAT!

Thanks a bunch for the compliments! These things take hours to edit so I appreciate it.

I played Champions a little bit when it launched, for about 3 months. It sadly doesn't compare. HOWEVER... the two main 'powers devs' that have been making all the awesomeness in CoH for the last few years have both gone over to Star Trek Online, also made by Cryptic, so I may just have to check that game out sometime.

Flint Eastwood was my main character on the Youtube channel - and I also played a version of him in Champions for that little while.
