[QUOTE=NoDachi;37481581]Tanks are self buffing with upgrades and certs.[/QUOTE] Aye, but so are anti-tank, ala rocket pods and rocket launchers.

wonderful, now I can learn about all the beautiful gameplay I'm not part of

PREPARE TO BE FLUSHED BY THE PS2 YOUTUBE TSUNAMI

Wallpaper material i just took: [IMG]http://i.minus.com/iXVVrUQ480YmC.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.minus.com/ib0Kox8W9kvZ5B.png[/IMG]

Thanks, grabbed the second one. Had an Esamir shot before but it was a little too bright.

Anyone got any advise on the perfourmence situation? my computer runs perfectly until I hit a battle scene, dont get me wrong its better than it was before but its still not ideal for shooting. :v:

Also renderquality 85 or 50 even seems to give a boost as well. Also, if you're bottlenecked by the CPU, and you have nvidia, you can set 'prepared frames' to 1, that should free up some CPU cycles.

How did you hide the weapon? Would love to take some scenery pictures. Would like to just play and take some panorama shots for the heck of it (this time with everything maxed of course) Test shot: [t]https://i.minus.com/iz0wOcjz0g9Hd.png[/t] [editline]31st August 2012[/editline] Also, I had an amazing moment yesterday. Was flying around, saw a Mosquito and started chasing it. I chased it into the TR Warpgate and at that point I had to go back. At that point I started getting chased by two Mosquitoes. I kicked in my afterburner and tried making lots of maneuvers but at the end I just managed to bail out before my Scythe blew up.. Somehow I ended up "flying" next to my Scythe after bailing out for a few seconds before it blew up. I kept flying for like 10 seconds before finally hitting the ground. It was fucking amazing.

anyone NC here who was in Tactus's platoon last night on EU1? turns out being led by someone with competence and nothing but pure, violent contempt for the terrans and vanu is conducive to steamrolling almost the entire map, even with the lowest pop of any faction

Like, tribes ascend benefited so much from having /v/ start the 'blood eagle vs sandraker' thing it brings the game alive when people are jingoistic about their faction, even if it isn't sincere on that note death to TR and NC

I play all the factions, with a TR bias.

Is there some kinda trick to getting Auraxium quickly? I keep seeing pilots use rocket pods but the damn things cost 12500. How the hell did they get that much already? I only have like 4000 and it's going up so goddamn slow.

[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;37482660]the game needs some proper faction loyalty.[/QUOTE] I find the existent faction loyalty to be kind of annoying personally. Not the "I like TR because the Prowler has two guns" loyalty, I'm talking about the neckbeard roleplaying loyalty that tends to come up every time someone mentions Planetside.

It made me dislike Totalcunt in the e3 live streams.

Video recording feature doesn't seem to be that decent. I hope TwitchTV thing is better. This is all on high quality.

It's much more fun to play in somewhat organized way.

I've started to notice that people on the ground with high battlerank are all retards playing heavy assault firing rocket launchers at infantry utter shit.

i only use rockets on infantry when they scare the shit out of me when i'm tank hunting

[QUOTE=maqzek;37483090]Hey, I'm HA as well, although I'm BR4, so I forgive you. :v:[/QUOTE] Nothing wrong with heavy assault, it's just people that use rockets on infantry that piss me off.

What should I get, air to air or air to ground missiles?

Lucky shot i got: [video=youtube;yIg5XhBGPko]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIg5XhBGPko[/video] And old random gameplay vid i recorded long time ago: [video=youtube;VTOXXPULyGc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTOXXPULyGc[/video] Higby himself acutaly "liked" this video when i first uploaded it. But it finally got taken down when it reached ~20k views. ^^

Even though they are slow, I giggle everytime I hit. I just imagine them seeing a rocket and going "OH SH-" before seeing their corpse from top view. 1 hit kill is kinda efficient if you know you'll lose even if you hit target with all your bullets. Plus, it feels badass. This is the reason mostly. :v:

[QUOTE=scratch (nl);37483150]What should I get, air to air or air to ground missiles?[/QUOTE] If you can shoot down jets with bullets, you'll be able to do the same with air to ground missiles if you're good enough. You can also kill ground targets much faster. So I say go for that.

[QUOTE=KyleN;37483167]Lucky shot i got: Higby himself acutaly "liked" this video when i first uploaded it. But it finally got taken down when it reached ~20k views. ^^[/QUOTE] What software did you use? I'm barely getting 35-40 fps so I fear that recording will just make it less enjoyable to play.

If they don't sidestep the time it takes for the rocket to lazily woosh over 100 meters they deserve to be gibbed.
