Techno Livesets of German DJs. 3-6 hours of music mixed. It makes all of the game sound blend out.

The Pilum shots always land in the bottom-right quarter of your targeting reticle, usually in the space between the small and large circle. So treat that as the center of your reticle.

Be more specific.

Ooooorrrr one could look in this topic for an in depth discussion on the Pilum, it's targetting, and obvious superiority over missiles.

All right Logical (and anyone else not completely satisfied with Lyra's kit setup), I have successfully customized all of my kits to my taste, and can change it when my taste changes! Here is what I have...

Recon -
Beacon (I don't have the Otus yet)
Lambert Carbine
Active Camo
RDX

Assault -
Beacon
Baur H-AR
Defibrillator
Rockets

Engineer -
Beacon
Pilum H-AVR
Motion Mines
Motion Mine Bait

Support -
Beacon
Clark 15-B
IDS
EMP 'nades

If you like this setup or something different than the Oracle's, send me a PM and I'll send you the code for your desired setup... as of now I can't include the Otus or Spanky.

As a side note - The recon kit will sometimes be un-customized, and you will have to manually customize it, while other times it will replace the Lambert with the Morretti (never with the Park).

I hope this will be helpful...

Master Lyra
How many licks does it take to get to the delicious center of an RDX grenade?

On a related note, secondary throw for grenades: how long does it take to get to full charge from right click to release?

Greyed · 07-05-2009, 06:25 AM

Thanks Fruvous, that reminds me...

Oh great and wonderful Oracle, your brethren answered "Absolutely!" to the following question. Might you be able to shed light as to what it meant?

How do I not blow myself up with RDX?

Let me elaborate a tad. I get that you place RDX with the fire button. I get you switch to the tigger with RMB. I get that you use the trigger with LMB. What kills me is that I press the trigger and it instantly drops another RDX at my feet. Based on usage patterns often this is a single RDX which then auto-switches to the trigger and immediately explodes.

Maybe it should be named, "Kill by the RDX, Die by the RDX?" Huh... your bretren said, "Definitely." ....

A second to maybe 1 and a half?

There are 8 "sections" for the 8 Soldier Types (EU/PAC/Class). Each has 5 lines. One of those sections will like this:

LocalProfile.setCurrentProfileHeavyArmor 0 0 0
LocalProfile.setCurrentProfileKitSetting 0 0 0 3
LocalProfile.setCurrentProfileKitSetting 0 0 1 27
LocalProfile.setCurrentProfileKitSetting 0 0 2 0
LocalProfile.setCurrentProfileKitSetting 0 0 3 2

The last number of each section is the SL equipment. 1 for Beacon, 2 for Otus and if you enter 3 the Universe will explode - seriously don´t do it.

When you switch to the trigger click LMB once and once only. Then wait 1 second. If it switches you good. If not click a second time. Learn this timing it takes to be sure you have the actual triggeri in your hands. Many people mash the LMB and if it doesn´t switch instantly they pres again. Then you get a double switch.

How should you pronounce it? LEEra, or LIEra?

Goodness! Will you put the pronunciation for that on Forvo.com? It only has LIE-ra for Lyra.

Ah, I was not clear. Getting to the trigger is not the problem. Dropping another RDX right after pressing the trigger is the problem. IE, drop 2 RDX on an asset, switch to trigger to blow it up, asset goes boom, rdx drops at my feat at the same time.

**Lyramion** · 07-05-2009, 12:07 PM

Never seen this happen.

Mercenary90 · 07-05-2009, 01:43 PM

It happens.
When you click the detonator, say, 5 times more than necessary, you nigh inevitably end up throwing 5 RDXs to the ground and clicking the detonator, killing yourself and those around you.

**Lyramion** · 07-05-2009, 01:53 PM

But he said he didn´t click more times than needed
