This game is unplayable for me. Guess I need to wait for Asian servers.Hopefully I don't have to join Chinese servers

[QUOTE=Daniellynet;37587528]However, isn't the Scythe the slowest aircraft? 200 top speed by default, while the mosquito has 240? Dunno, someone tell me. Just saying what I got from the forums. [editline]8th September 2012[/editline] Sounds like a movie scene. You could've recorded that, add music, some slow motion of people running towards the Galaxy and getting shot at etc. Would make a pretty sad scene. :( Gal:WE'RE LEAVING, Sld:WAIT FOR ME. *Galaxy engines firing up* *wuuuush* Sld:NOOOOO! DON'T LEAVE ME AROUND HERE, I GOT A WIFE AND TWO KIDS! *gets shot in the back* Argh. Wait for me..... I don't want to leave my family behind. *slowly dies while the galaxy takes off with the pilot shedding some tears since he heard it all* *Camera goes back to the slowly dying solider who is now surrounded by soldiers* *The soldier gets shot in the legs and arms so the enemy soldier could get a quick kick out of torturing him, then they finish it off. *camera pans to the guy you left behind, zooms in on his head. We see him crying, begging for mercy with his last breath, and then boom. He's dead*[/QUOTE] [img]http://content7.flixster.com/movie/10/86/50/10865025_det.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=matreox;37587494]My old laptop let me play at like 20-30fps on all low, no AA etc, with my new laptop I can max it out at 1080p with a silky slick 50-70fps, I'm now loving this game.[/QUOTE] What CPU does your laptop have?

wait why is there ff enabled and if I get anywhere close to a friendly aircraft I just instantly get crushed???

[QUOTE=KorJax;37584760]Nah The A2G dynamic simply changed from being "solo" to "support". You basically are a glass cannon now against certain targets. You still rape if you are picking off stragglers or a group unprepared for an airborne attack (though to a limited degree since now your max amount of missiles you can carry is much less, which means you can no longer keep an attack going for too long without having to rearm). The difference is now against large forces or fortified positions, you have to use hit+run tactics to soften enemies and/or work in tandem with your own factions force to survive. You can't "solo" towers because AA will kill you quick, same with bases (unless they aren't fortified). You CAN swoop in at high speeds and do hit+run attacks to soften the enemy or keep them under pressure. You CAN attack at the same time as a column of tanks is attacking such fortifications to be extremely effective. You CAN attack individual tanks/targets much better now provided you have good aim thanks to the damage buff and the simple fact that you can easily see key units/stragglers with your top down view. If anything, it's much easier to survive now because if you take damage or are being tailed by a fighter, you can retreat back to a fortified position to save yourself (where before you'd have to fight or you'd die, and most of the time you died if you were being tailed). Now I can retreat and actually survive because to follow an air unit back into the main territory right now is suicide with active AA in the area. Basically you cant just fly air everywhere anymore without any care or conciquence. Air is still very effective, but you have to be effective at piloting to succeed as one, and ideally work together with your team to get you places you no longer can safely go without being killed.[/QUOTE] Exactly, it's the same thing with a tank. Use it wrongly and driving around with supposed impunity (like the former reaver), and you'll be punished for it. But use it correctly in tandem with other units and you're a rape machine.

Did anyone else get increased loading time on start up after this patch? It takes me a good 3-5 minutes now to load for the first time.

[QUOTE=Daniellynet;37587898]Did anyone else get increased loading time on start up after this patch? It takes me a good 3-5 minutes now to load for the first time.[/QUOTE] Yep.

God damn NC. First smart NC player I met. Kept cloaking and uncloaking to lure me into him, then he just 1 shot me with his sniper. :( Smart move, though.

I FUCKING HATE THE GALAXY no seriously if it even tilts a little bit because a friendly ramming into it while it spawn it rolls uncontrollably and killed like 8 of my teammates in the process in the warp gate then it blew up. all of this in like 20 seconds

So if I want to join any of the FP outfits, i first have to to add myself to "LONER PEOPLE"?

[QUOTE=Turing;37588191]I FUCKING HATE THE GALAXY no seriously if it even tilts a little bit because a friendly ramming into it while it spawn it rolls uncontrollably and killed like 8 of my teammates in the process in the warp gate then it blew up. all of this in like 20 seconds[/QUOTE] That situation is recoverable, if you're a good pilot. Practice more.

Bwhaaha, oh man. I love hiding in this game. Close to the TR warpgate, capping a point. I see an enemy Liberator far away in the distance. I decide to just stay in my Scythe and hide under a tree. If I get lucky they might not see me. Well, they didn't see me and they landed. Fuck yes. At this point I quickly started up my Scythe, and flew above them, then started blasting away with my machine gun. They hit me with the top of their Liberator but I still survived. I kept flying above them so they couldn't do shit, but then an enemy Mosquito turned up. Well, the enemy Lib was in the warpgate area now, but burning. Seeing as I would die either way I decided to pursue them. I managed to kill them (three people) and less than a second later I blew up due to the Mosquito. Ah, I love flying. I still do great in my Scythe, not sure what people are whining so much. And I haven't had A2G or A2A missiles yet, but I still blow up tanks, libs, kill infantry.

Also, it helps setting up the vehicle sensitivity to the highest level. Galaxy flying is one of the funniest things in this game too. You're playing some sort of RTS, since YOU decide where X amount of people in you Galaxy you. You can make a big change in the battlefield if you're successful.

[QUOTE=SinineSiil;37587641]What CPU does your laptop have?[/QUOTE] Erm, a 1st gen i7. Only had a GT445M GPU though, which is I gather the equivalent of an 8800GTX. Problem was overheating.

[QUOTE=BigBoom;37587460]My friend was one of the players whom were running towards the Galaxy before I took off, and he said those who were left behind rather jumped off the pad to suicide or were shot in the back running for my Galaxy. Wasn't until a guy in my Galaxy said "You could of [I]fucking[/I] waited for them bro" did I start feeling pretty terrible about leaving them behind.[/QUOTE] You sir are a terrible human being. On a serious note, I decided to try Vanu today. They have some sort of mind control thing going on because I swear my magrider was whispering in my ear, telling me how much better it was than my beloved Vanguard. The scary thing is after a 15 killstreak I'm starting to believe it.

fucking hell im driving in my flash then all of a sudden a fucking magrider or whatever hits me in the ass and blows me up (im vanu too) "Suicide! Stop killing yourself!" suicide my ass

Why aren't we doing this? :( [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXeqS6VisCM[/media]

[QUOTE=matreox;37588370]Erm, a 1st gen i7. Only had a GT445M GPU though, which is I gather the equivalent of an 8800GTX. Problem was overheating.[/QUOTE] I have better video card, but only second gen i5 that is dual core. Quad core makes a huge difference.

Hmm... I don't know when they added them, but all the cash shop weapons have different models now. Last I checked they all had the same model as the default of that type.

wait why do all the weapons in store say either unavailable or "- Station Cash"?
