Holy fucking shit Miller is an awful server. How do you people cope? It's so laggy and broken.

Matherson and Jaeger are both a-okay.

is the Reaver's mustang AH any good? I just got off of a glorious flight with my reaver and need something that can do more damage to inf/turrets/vehicles without having to grind certs or buy currency to get the rockets

Does anyone else think some of the bases are badly designed? With the only entrances sometimes being small doorframes that become kill zones immediately thing.

[QUOTE=RawrBullet;38582070]Matherson and Jaeger are both a-okay.[/QUOTE] Because they're glorious american master race servers that isn't controlled by prosieben.

Got me some Station Cash, what should I get? I mostly play Infiltrator and Heavy Assault.

What empire are you?

[QUOTE=Xenocidebot;38579847]No amount of saying that makes it true. I say again, show me yourself going toe to toe with dudes with shotguns without one yourself.[/QUOTE] Nobody's going to record a video just to prove you wrong. Stop whining like a kid just because nobody agrees with you. All facilities have capture points which are open enough that with the right positioning, you can easily take out a shotgunner before he gets close enough to you. Try not running into a room like rambo and use some teamwork to clear the point. If the point IS claustrophobic enough that you can't get in with all the shotguns camping it, you have grenades.

[QUOTE=-nesto-;38582277]What empire are you?[/QUOTE] I have one character as Vanu and one character as NC. Both are like, level 5, but I wanna see which I can use to level up more quickly and grab more certs.

Is there any vanu on Waterson that wants to add "Anonymalel" to their outfit?

So I'm thinking of saying fuck the TR on Waterson and I'm going to head over to Matherson but I dunno whether I should go Vanu or NC, any suggestions?

Hey guys, I've seen screenshots of a little river somewhere on Amerish, and I think it's also one of the loading screen shots. Mind telling me where it is? I've always wanted to visit it.

Well, I'm pleased with this. [img]http://puu.sh/1tYna[/img]

I hate how they went for skull mask. On top off that it is ONLY skull masks.

There are two you silly, one is premium only and illuminated (the one you see there) and the other one is white.

[QUOTE=PvtTwinkletoes;38582701]So I'm thinking of saying fuck the TR on Waterson and I'm going to head over to Matherson but I dunno whether I should go Vanu or NC, any suggestions?[/QUOTE] If you're going to go NC go NC on Matherson or Jaeger. NC almost everywhere else could barely even be considered a real faction.

[QUOTE=MadBomber;38582757]There are two you silly, one is premium only and illuminated (the one you see there) and the other one is white.[/QUOTE] Different Colored skulls, woooh.

It only just launched, give it some time and you'll have far more variety.

[QUOTE=Niklas;38582791]Different Colored skulls, woooh.[/QUOTE] Well if you don't like that you could always go for the composite helms. All of those look good no matter what class / faction.

[QUOTE=PvtTwinkletoes;38582701]So I'm thinking of saying fuck the TR on Waterson and I'm going to head over to Matherson but I dunno whether I should go Vanu or NC, any suggestions?[/QUOTE] Why? Everytime I've been on we've always won every fight, we constantly form MASSIVE tank columns and the only thing Waterson TR lacks is air superiority.

What server should I join as a vanu? The outfit roster does not make sense to me.

I'm Vanu on Waterson or whatever it's pretty good. Is there any way to customize your appearance without have to pay monies

Just rammed a Scythe out of the sky with my Liberator and holy shit did it feel great

Barfo to these server issues. Can anybody tell me how to fly a fighter jet thingy without being totally useless? I'll empty my entire magazine into an enemy fighter, and it'll just roll away and be fine. I can do the same to a tank on the ground, and they'll just kind of look around, like, "huh?" I can't even kill people with the darn thing. They're too small, and it's too twitchy to aim the main gun directly onto them (apparently you have to land direct hits with your great big gigantic explodey laser minigun?). I might get a couple of assists here and there, and [I]on occasion[/I] I'll pick off a low health lightning or something, but actually taking something down [I]mono e mono[/I]? Fuhgeddaboudit. I mean, surely the fighters must be able to accomplish [I]something[/I] without the 1000 cert rocket pods... Right?

Bought the "shoot from extremely long distances" sniper rifle for TR. The damn thing does "shoot from extremely long distances". Money well spent.

I don't know if this is just during the times I'm on, but factions on connery seem to have none of the shitheads you guys are talking about (relatively speaking. They're still shitheads overall). NC people always listen and there's always an abundance of support classes where they're needed and TR always seem to coordinate their assaults really well. It's just the vanu bringing the server down. Shitness just seems to radiate from those sides of the continents. [QUOTE=Big Dumb American;38583010]Barfo to these server issues.

You can't take down fighters in single magazines unless 49 rounds out of 50 hit it (which isn't impossible). Tanks should either be left until they're critical before you strike, or, like fighters, you can just keep hitting them. Singular infantry can be killed during hit and run strafes or by hovering way to close to them. Both work because at one point or another, you'll get up really close to the target. Strafing runs just sacrifice duration of fire for being harder to hit and vice versa. Basically it becomes more of a persistence/endurance game until you can cert up a bit.

I still crash every half hour or so, real pain in the ass what with the loading times and queue times. Any tips?

How the fuck do you change the game controls? EDIT: nevermind, apparently the menu option doesn't show up in triple monitor resolutions. I thought they said this game was going to support eyefinity/surround?

Fly low to the ground around bases to avoid AA, aim below the reticule when attacking enemies within 200 meters(yea, what the hell) and be an engi pilot. Always repair when your below 60% heath, as then a A2A/SAM could easily destroy you then.

ARrrrggg. What default vehicle setup [I]isn't[/I] fuckin useless? Default lightning cannon can't even kill a damn sniper with five cannon hits. Default fighters have a main gun that is incapable of denting anything. Liberator's default weapons? Nope. Sunderer? Probably more useful than the others, but not by much. The only things that seem to have somewhat capable default weapon setups are the main battle tanks. The sheen on this game is wearing off pretty damn quick. There is literally zero chance I am going to invest seven bucks into making the vehicles not useless, nor am I going to grind for months on end just to get a moderately effective tank.
