Okay... time to buy that advanced zoom module.

[sC4r]

challenge accepted... ill unbind it and see how it goes

[Bilbo]

I never used it anyway.

Am I the only one who hasn't needed to use thermal at all? It really doesn't give much of an advantage if you have a good eye and have your graphics settings right.

Playing the game without thermal is like playing turok on the N64.

I bought and started grinding a CTF-3D this weekend. I didn't use thermal at all because I think it's a crutch (one that will soon be removed). It's better to learn the hard way and give yourself goodies later than to learn with training wheels and wean yourself off.

[MischiefSC]

Yeah, I'm going to unbind thermal and night vision until 4/2 - You want to play better, you need to learn to hone your skills. Then when the new NV/Thermal come out they'll be a perk and not my baseline for performance.

UNBIND - all due props to those who've done it already. I'm onboard now, who else?

Edited to add:

The 'period' key turns cockpit light off. Makes seeing in the dark a bit easier. Helps your eyes adjust.

Go on hill...turn Thermal ON. See enemy team moving right, left, middle, etc in a manner of seconds.

I don't even want to use thermal till the new version is in. I want that one more.

[Hellen Wheels]

I've used thermal (or night) maybe once each, months ago. At times I switch them on just to see what they look like, but then I'm right back to the normal mode, even in River City Night.

I cannot see very good anymore in the first place, and thermal or night vision just seems to give me vertigo, as does the completely zoomed out mode.

Worthless challenge unless you have a way to prove someone actually never used it.

[Ialti]

I'm more a brawler than anything. Thermal? What's that?

Self respect is the only reward worth winning. Anyone who cheats in a challenge against themselves has managed to lose in a game in which they are the only player.

Besides, there's no shame in using thermal. The question is do you, as in everyone or anyone, have what it takes to still play and play well without it?

My big problem now is getting distracted. The games visuals are amazing.

[NKAc Street]

The point is that true self respect does not need community props for doing anything. So if there is a public challenge then people are going to want public props. The thread title. Are you tough enough... begs the question of who gives a crap if it is really only about personal self respect. Lol.

It's that thing that tells you how close they are to overheating.

When I can see arms, legs, head and identify what the mech is across Forest Colony in normal vision and a round blob in Thermal... normal vision is the best way to play.

[scruffy416]

I hate Thermal. Never use it apart from a flick on and off to confirm a spot.

I use NV in RCN... I get why people are annoyed it's too bright, but at least there's a level of surface detail on stuff so you can tell whether you're looking at the front/back of something or not.

Unbinding Thermal - EASY

Unbinding NV - I don't wanna - but I bet I could

p.s. there should be an addendum to the No NV/Thermal rule... no jacking with display Gamma til night looks like day!

AIM FOR THE MUZZLE FLASHES!

Ye got the MK1 Eyeball - the greatest gift GOD gave you.

Or do it properly, go up until you see the white of the eyes of the PILOT in the mech.

So, without issuing the challenge and bringing it up.... how would anyone know as a group that other people are doing the same thing? Challenging themselves in the same way?

If you don't care then don't do it. I confess I'm at a loss as you why you responded in the first place but okay. Shine on you crazy diamond.

Pfft. Almost everyone overheats now anyway. I can tell they're overheating when they shutdown Then I dual AC20 them in the cockpit and listen to them complain that I R HAXXZORZ.

You back to playing again?

[NKAc Street]

I responded because i wanted to. Do i need some tough enough reason? Lol. Who cares who else is doing it if it is only personal?
