Neat

[Rebas Kradd]

That could actually help balance PPC's out a bit, believe it or not.

I love the pirate paint job

[MeatForBrains]

Lol, that paint job looks like something from Borderlands.

Where is that screenshot from?

its on the facebook banner

[Gralzeim]

That looks delicious. Hope we get that in-game as soon as possible.

[HighlandCoo]

Oh so.. NOT in game then. *sigh*

[New Breed]

played the patch for 5 minutes.. no will to continue it, ill check back at the end of the month.

I have nothing against poptarts.. I use them now because everyone else does. I want something more then that. Something needs to give..and fast.

[Tennex]

looks... purpler

[Skunk Wolf]

Looks like the proton stream from Ghostbusters or the freaky energy from Lifeforce in a still.

Why do I want something like that as a weapon now? That would be freaking radical.

[Coolant]

That picture makes it seem like PPC's look different, but I'm not seeing any actual changes in game....

The original image was all LL and 1 Small Laser

Now it has been photoshopped to depict PPCs?! **** job at that. Look at the cannons and one can see the beginning for each large laser.

Looking closely.... Nope those don't look like the beginning of large laser...

Close... But nope... I don't agree with the conclusion that it is photoshopped like that.

going to bust out my good ol paint skills to highlight the LL for you. It is photoshopped...I guess you just cant see from how far you are up there.

Take note of the abrupt cut off of each LL. I did my best to sort through where and mark the beams, I will admit they did a bang up job masking them.

Also take note of the width of the small laser beam going all over the place. In particular I marked two locations.

I know that this is photoshopped, because I saw the original image for which it had Large Laser. Granted they could have easily take the same picture with two different setups, but I hardly doubt that.

Note that background objects probably have much to do with where the small lasers' fidelity is altered(diffused) vs. clear sky.

[Gralzeim]

Could be using the laser VFX as a base and they haven't fully cleaned it up yet?

lol no. thats just how the PPC effect works. Its very difficult to make 3D effects. and costs a lot to make full particles (imagine how many particles would be needed to make a beam dense.). so a lot of effects are just 2D images. which face you nomatter wher eyou look at it from



normally the 2D images used for effects are not seen. because the effect goes so fast your eyes can track and notice the small inperfections.


if the SS was photoshoped. they can easily remove the LL stubbles (they did go through the trouble of removing the rest of the LL, stubble would be just as easy). And if it was Photoshopped. the stubbles would not be all the same length
