Smoke artillery

Ive never seen it in poe2, but ive heard that they have it... i think it would be a great addition to PR, and could have MANY great tactical uses

Not too crazy about smoke arty, but would love to see mortars with smoke rounds in addition to HE rounds.

TBH, id love to see mortars replace arty, and i think smoke/HE rounds would be the perfect way to go about it

Well, tonight some people were starting to complain about lagging games when a few of us started throwing nades around in a small area.

A massive use of smoke just how i'd like it and i'm sure people would start dropping off the servers to either lower their graphical settings or buy new gear!

Ya but PoE2s weapon, player, and vehicle models are not nearly as high quality as ours. Hence the reason why we get more lag! Am I correct? I thought I saw this in the guide.

IF they lag they should turn down their settings or get more ram.

When i had my settings on medium and aa too. Smoke killed it for me.

Medium texture, effects, and sound
Low everything else with 1.5gb of ram is the smoothest thign ever.

Not correct. The reason we have lag in some PR maps are just errors on the mapper's part.

Ah I see. Disregard what my last statement was then.

causticbeat · Post by **causticbeat** » 2007-01-10 03:28

I have a very low end pc, and smoke rarely gives me issues

Monster comp n no lag ever (unless server is in bumfuk land or someone tries to do somthing with my internet somehow).

I have a mid-range computer. No lag with smoke.

the smoke is fine unless you have AA on then i think it goes a bit funny in the head trying to smooth the particals

No problems with smoke (no matter how much) on 1280x1024 all settings on max and AAx4.
