[QUOTE=The golden;38170990]I just got the 240cert AMC carbine for my Light Assault. So far so good. I would like to get the ammo belt for it though - assuming it's worth the investment.[/QUOTE] how many shots does it kill in? the damage is attractive, but the rof is a bit low, also a nice 30 round mag. can you put a surpressor on it? reflex sight?

[QUOTE=alx12345;38172444]I bought it and regret it, at least TR one, also have difficult using it because it lag when i shoot.[/QUOTE] Thats a real problem for a shotgun, not sure if it works as intented but you can try enabling reducing lag input in the game settings. And even then shotgun really takes some getting used to and you can easily miss on a barely moving target.

[QUOTE=The golden;38174421]Just humming alone in my Lightning over a bridge in Esamir when suddenly a FUCKING HOARD of around 25-30 Smurfs on Flashes comes rumbling over the bridge. Most of them pass me but I managed to pop one of them, causing his Flash to roll into the front of my tank my Lightning hits the Flash and flips 180 degrees and explodes, killing me.[/QUOTE] congrats, you got killed by an unmanned vehicle

Are they going to buff Galaxy deploy kill bonus to something more than 5 points? I LOVE playing support roles and transport troops across the field, I spent my 200 cert points to upgrade gal and thought I'd get even more XP from that, but I'll be damned, 5 exp is nothing for transporting guys (and if he dies without killing anyone, you get nothing).

Someone posted on reddit that uninstalling Physx helps with the performance, but servers went down when i tried to go in and test it. Damn SOE doesnt want me having a good FPS, apparently.

Good god the TR Carbine slaps so much shit. [editline]25th October 2012[/editline] Anyone know if the 48 point TR carbine sidegrade is good? I wish the descriptions were more detailed.

[QUOTE=Squeaken;38176957]I wish the descriptions were more detailed.[/QUOTE] And for the right weapon.

I wish the descriptions were more detailed.[/QUOTE] I would safe up for the 240 one. The 48 just gives you one more bar of ROF and keeps all the other stats the same, whereas the AMC gives a big damage boost at the expense of a slight mag and rof reduction. also, I am downloading a 1.3 gb patch. any clue on what this is?

[QUOTE=The golden;38175454]Agreed. There needs to be more reward for support roles. Right now the only big money maker is sheer kills.[/QUOTE] Which is funny because in a game like this with this many players, often the support roles are the most important aspects in any given battle I wouldn't mind seeing support roles getting the same, if not better, XP than what you get for doing kills. As long as somehow they make it so you can't abuse it for XP.

Notable Changes: Players are now mostly invulnerable to damage at Warpgates with the exception of vehicle collision damage against structures. An outstanding issue is while accessing a terminal players are vulnerable. Sunderers are now available at every vehicle terminal that offers the Flash. Squad members can deploy on their squad leaders from the Warpgate via the Instant Action menu. Grief accumulation has been reduced for accidental team damage. Grief points are no longer accumulated for damaging a fellow member or their vehicle. An outstanding issue is killing that player will result in grief points. Performance: Client crash fixes and client performance optimizations Top Bugs Fixed: Logging out or zoning while in a MAX should no longer change your class. Forward spawn point terminals should now display appropriate faction on the minimap Vehicle kills will give notifications again. Turrets should no longer stop animating. Dead characters will no longer be collidable. Vehicles will no longer randomly invert controls. Shields will now block tossed projectiles such as grenades and C4. Fixed an instance where AFK players would be unable to be damaged. Fixed a case where dying in the UI could leave a character in a bad state. Weapons: Reduced bullet drop on all weapons. Buffed VS weapons to be much stronger at greater range. Projectile speed and Damage were increased on all weapons except sniper rifles. Projectile speed was increased. Damage at range was increased. Reload times on most VS weapons are now faster. Grenade trajectory is now more predictable. Vehicles: Speed required to damage infantry in a vehicle collision increased. Projectile speed of Halberd increased Reduced lock-on range of Heavy Assault anti-ground vehicle launchers (500 meters was overkill) Scythe Default and Rotary nose cannon projectile speed increased A pass was done on Sunderer and Tank Secondary weapon elevation ranges. Elevation ranges should be the same between all the MBTs. Previously there were some discrepancies 50cal MG elevation range increased by 15 degrees

so no more TK at the warpgate, nearly?

They forgot to mention the new chat censoring, which blocks perfectly acceptable words like 'appears' 'speak' and 'minute' but not 'wanker'

VS weapon buffs? Hurrah!

Squad members can deploy on their squad leaders from the Warpgate via the Instant Action menu. Awesome!

But still nothing for support roles. Meh, i'll just unhype myself, and when the gal is useful and gives Xp again, i'll rehype myself and play.

[QUOTE=Solidsnail;38178872]But still nothing for support roles. Meh, i'll just unhype myself, and when the gal is useful and gives Xp again, i'll rehype myself and play.[/QUOTE] You can make lodes of XP by rolling engineer/medic and having a sundy up.

As i sit in Mao tech plant, in my mossy, i can't help but think how much it (and TR) have grown on me. Also holy shit my FPS has shot up like a godamn rocket, fuck. not sure if beta drivers or latest patch.

God... Hah... I was walking around inside of a heavily TR crowded base while it was under attack by us, NC. I didn't shoot anyone and the people in there actually thought I was a TR guy... You so silly TR

Damage is awesome, guns look badass and community seems to be less arrogant than TR players from my experience with them before switching. Enclave douchebags from US East are something special for sure.

I see huge tank zergs from all teams. Funny thing the other night. NC player cried about how he hates "vanu tank spam". Not 5 minutes later 8 vanguards roll up on our outpost.

Tank god they fixed the random invert vehicle controls, those got me really annoyed.

I think I'm slowly becoming disenfranchised with this game. On the east servers its pretty much become a fight for the most mundane and fucking useless shit on indar, namely the crown and TI Alloys. The people attacking it aren't even good, and fucking die in droves every fucking time. It's become a haven for a very special breed of retard. I chewed out one of my squad leaders for suggesting something as retarded as joining people at the crown and I asked him how many functional brain cells he had and how utterly meaningless it would be to attack or defend such a shitty hex territory. Playing on TR on Indar is fucking boring as shit. Yeah we have about half the map, but all that shit is meaningless if the only actual fighting is happening at 3 locations. I'm also dying for some new weapons. I want a burst fire rifle/semi auto rifle that doesn't suck. I think I'll give this a break for a bit.

[QUOTE=Solidsnail;38178872]But still nothing for support roles.
