if you're gonna be sniping, you might as well go vanu

I heard that PS1 is going free to play? Is this true?

[QUOTE=NomadicNinja;38590914]if you're gonna be sniping, you might as well go vanu[/QUOTE] what are you some kind of space hippy? Go NC for sniping, the default weapon is a 1 hit fuck bolt action master gun [editline]25th November 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=jiggu;38590895]What scope do you think is the best for sniping? I wanna go for a high one but I don't wanna disable any mid-range sniping either.[/QUOTE] Just get the 12x, once you get used to it you'll be slaying bodies no matter what range they're at.

vanu snipers are the best in the game that is the only thing i like about the vanu (besides magriders)

Sorry but I'm glorious TR. Thanks for the scope tip though.

[QUOTE=Maximo13;38590123]Same actually. What's your IGN? We could chill together Also, I've fallen in love with the NC Medic AR.[/QUOTE] Nab, not very original, but oh well.

[QUOTE=NomadicNinja;38591006]vanu snipers are the best in the game that is the only thing i like about the vanu (besides magriders)[/QUOTE] pfft, Vanu snipers are weak. Every time I feel one shot hit me, I just scope in and take off the dinosaur's head.

I've learned that if you fly low to the ground upside down through enemy territory they don't even bother because they think you're gonna crash anyway. Well jokes on them, I might suck at dog fighting but I can fly through trees, canyons, vehicle shields, upside down, and scrape the heads off of stationary infantry.

I feel the 12x scope is too much. You can zoom in and see things pretty decently with a lower magnification, plus you're not hindered if people end up being closer.

Mattherson is down :(

[QUOTE=kenji;38588108]I've got the nighthawk? shotgun for the TR, the auto one, and honestly without extended mags it's borderline worthless, sometimes i get 6 square hits and no kill.[/QUOTE] Then you didn't get 6 square hits. You didn't get 3 square hits. It has the exact same states as the Pandora, it takes 3 solid thumps to drop a body. Czech the spreadsheet. Holy crap, Facepunch is a place where people cannot aim boomsticks.

Server restart for "quick fix".

OH MY GOOOOOD Engineers if you press b when you have the mana turret placer out you can instead place another ammo box. ALL THE XP

Speaking of EXP, I wonder what the absolute fastest way to gain it would be at the moment? Capping a point back and forth?

Ugh, I feel like the standard fighters for each faction just absolutely do no damage. It's frustrating as hell, don't get me started on even trying to take out the heavier gunships.

Have the sony servers crashed? I'm trying to get started on this game but I can't get past 15% on the first loading screen and the planetside 2 website seems to be down.

[QUOTE=Uesrname;38591711]Speaking of EXP, I wonder what the absolute fastest way to gain it would be at the moment? Capping a point back and forth?[/QUOTE] Killing. So much killing.

[QUOTE=Eltro102;38591726]heal everything[/QUOTE] What do you get per heal tick now? [editline]25th November 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=NoDachi;38591731]Killing. So much killing.[/QUOTE] Killing obviously gets you a lot of EXP, but I'm talking the absolute fastest way no questions asked. You're obviously not going to constantly have somebody in front of you to shoot.

camping spawns with a HE tank [editline]25th November 2012[/editline] Well not even that. The only thing that gets my score per hour up to the 30k mark is HE magriding. Troops are plentiful. Troops give good exp per kill. Troops are squelchy and pop easily.

I havent used a galaxy since they removed the option to use it as a mobile spawn point in the beta. How do you earn xp with them now?

Heh. Anybody want to make some cheap certs through some unscrupulous misdoings? Two engineers on opposing factions meet up with vehicles, shoot each other until they're damaged, and then repair it on up. Ad infinitum. Or, if you can get a stooge, two players from one faction (one of them a medic), and one player from a another faction meet up and take turns killing and reviving the hapless mook you dragged along. HmmmmMMMMMMmmmm?

HmmmmMMMMMMmmmm?[/QUOTE] Sounds really tedious and it doesn't generate that much exp. Plus if its anything like PS1 the system will stop giving you exp if its just from one other player.

Oh, really? Bummer. I was having visions of rocket pods and upgraded MAX's.

Is there any way to go on another server without creating another character?

[QUOTE=Devil Traitor;38591922]Is there any way to go on another server without creating another character?[/QUOTE] Nope.
