Mining *feature* 

Please see the screenshot :P hiding behind the turrets in the mining sector, although it helps me, i still beleave its an exploit and the mining area sould be a hunting area and the 10m area behind the portal sould be out of bounds for mining.

discuss :)

For future reference. He is talking about this picture.

And yes, that is a bad idea. Does that mean there is no real need to fight for the mine if you can collect it from that safety zone. Of course it goes against all my believes of fun as well. I play a game for the excitement, not for the gold.

RE: Mining *feature* 

So you can mine from a "safe point"? That seems to be a bit strange. I mean isn't control of the mine something that is supposed to be a big thing?

well if you have control of the mine it is a big thing as outside the core you make 1 ore very 1min but in the mines you get 1 ore evry 10 seconds

I can't answer the first two questions, since I have not been mining yet, and Cora has no mechs. But I can answer the last one. The game was released in the US on Feb 21th. Only it appears it is a bit hard to find an actual box in the store. You are probably best off buying it online.

RE: Mining *feature* 

Guys it is way too dangerous to mine outside the core. You can be killed by "invisible" units as the towers cannot detect them. If I was an accretian scout then I would get tons of contribution points based on the picture above.

Scouts Cloaking ability + Launchers = a lot of dead corites and tons of CP for the scout.

There is just one bit of detail the scout should know for that to work. I won't divuldge it because it is prone to abuse. I don't want to see an accretian CP farm his way to the top of the ranks.

That seems odd to me too, that they would purposely put a "safe" area somewhere that you are supposed to gain control of. Perhaps they are fixing it as we speak type.

RE: Mining *feature* 

It is a known bug. On the official forum there is a list of banable offences. And standing in or sneaking past the turrets blindspot is one of them. Of course this is probably not stopping people from doing it. Hence it is pretty dangerous :)

if you hide behind the Bellato tree and kill us, that is an exploit and will get you banned, just for the heads up ^^

RE: Mining *feature* 

From what I understand all races can mine right inside their portal in in the safety of the turrets no matter who controls the chip. You get 1 ore every 45sec (timed it) as apposed to the 1 ore every 10 seconds (not certain since Cora never have control) next to the Holystone guy.

It makes sense, otherwise whatever side has the hardest time ever controlling the chip wouldn't have any crafters and would consquently never own the chip due to never having gear made for them to be able to battle the other sides : P
