hey its another TCF bad pls remove thread, how unusual

[Vault Traveler]

As scout "main" I really dont care for driller doing "my" job.

More time for me doing other fun stuff like zipping around.

I've been using her quite a bit more lately. I was using the Explosive Reload, but kept noticing that that extra bit of dmg was mostly wasted, as the bullet itself did the work. Been tryin' out the Full-Auto one, and kinda diggin' it (esp w Cryo build).

Now if only I could unlearn my reflexive need to reload my Cryo cannon w/ Ice Spear (when there's nothing to shoot at). And then learn to actually use it on purpose (when there's something to shoot at)... but it's best not to want too much, right...?

eh when i have driller doing epc mining i am pretty much happy because less work for me and more bug killing for me

[Vash(88)]

100% agree

Very nice bait thread, OP. Now to sit back and watch this reach 80+ replies before it's inevitably closed because the argument somehow devolved into politics. /thread

And yet it's still not possible to use the EPC to get stuff like fossils, booloo caps, apoca blooms, etc...

When that happens I reckon people will have more validity in complaining about this.

on that note, good Lord i wish those things were affected by gravity. More than once ive had a secondary objective just floating in the air where i, as a non scout or engie, cannot reach it.

Frankly, i don't see the problem with it. Not many people use it, and very few use it well (i can't use it very well myself). Sure, it makes scout and engi useless, but the drills can do that as well. And as an argument in favor of EPC mining, the driller's job is modifying terrain, and the epc helps with that

Last week or so, I had a great EPC moment. It was lava biome. There was nice nitra vein very close to a lava spout. So I throw the plat out to get there, and I wait a bit so that the lava can spew forth, ala classic platformer. Coast is clear and I get into position. I'm prolly 3/4 thru the vein and mentally planning my exit, when an EPC driller pops me. This is after he'd already joined late, promptly ran away from the group to die, and I'd already rez'ed him after trackin' his useless butt down. FYI, this is all happening milliseconds before I know that I'm gonna be covered in lava, so I don't exactly need my shield to drop from FF. But yea, that happened.

Is this what y'all mean when you call someone a 'try-hard'?

[RNW3D]

Nooooooo, you can't just blow my gold vein and do not let me stare at the wall for 15 seconds. You're ruining my fun! 1 !

Driller:*helps team mine*

DRG community:*hates him for helping*

the ability to mine at range isn't as game changing as people like to make it out to be, at most it's a helpful utility that reduces the amount of time scout spends starting at walls mining or the engineer spending platforms meaning those to classes can spend more time doing other things, class roles overlap slightly all the time like an engineer using RJ250 compound to jump to minerals or gunners ziplines to reach something up above and those don't get called a problem
yeah you do get some drillers who mine everything in sight regardless of teammates being close to it or it being 100% unessessary like minerals on the ground and for those complaints i do understand but to hate TCF/EPC mining as a whole because of a few bad apple drillers or "driller stealing scouts job" is really pointless, the driller is helping the team mine in a fast way which means scouts can spend a bit more time lighting up or working on other objectives
