Planetside 2 Thread v2 - Beta floodgates open GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY - Games

I actually do that all the time in my mosquito, just annoying how going up also goes forward.

[QUOTE=kukiric;37608205]I actually do that all the time in my mosquito, just annoying how going up also goes forward.[/QUOTE] I've learned that if you don't turn down the throttle it will remain at the speed you left it at. So it may just be you haven't stopped the momentum of your fighter so you still slightly move forward when you try to hover in place.

The air controls feel so clunky to me. And how the hell do you hover in place? I remember in planetside 1 you would do it by default, but in this you constantly go down and have to keep bobbing up and down to maintain altitude Also, I know certifications arent really implimented yet, but I have seen people with different weapons for their MAX's. How do I get new weapons for anything?

It's an incredibly good tactic at "nuking" facilities with missiles and the machine gun, yet I only see myself doing it and a few other Vanu players here and there. The only drawback is if you get hit by missiles from the infantry or by tank shells.

I've found it particularly useful to lose a tail mid flight, all you have to do is lose your speed and spin around while hovering and the guy chasing you will almost always speed right by you giving you a perfect opportunity to land a few good hits. Also if you are close to the ground the fighter will constantly lose altitude so you have to keep pressing space. I guess they did that to make it easier to land but all it does is end up confusing the fuck out of new people and causing them to crash and burn.

The game has this cheeky habit of disconnecting me from the server during all the fun bits.

Who on EU wants to team up and have some funs? Voice would be cool

[QUOTE=TrannyAlert;37608796]Who on EU wants to team up and have some funs? Voice would be cool[/QUOTE] Well, that's mostly what we do. EU1 atleast. And yknow It's 2 AM (Or at least late in most EU regions)

I suppose, I just have no friends that play it. Also it wouldn't let me make a character on EU 1 for some reason

[QUOTE=Daniellynet;37608149]Can the reaver or mosquito do something like this? [t]https://i.minus.com/ilv8y9L2Balwm.png[/t][t]https://i.minus.com/ibqiUDwQGeBAGg.png[/t] Basically almost hover in a position? Asking since in dog fights and such I've seen (at least the Reaver) hover mid air for quite some time, but I never really saw anyone do something like pictured above.[/QUOTE] the reaver can't hover perfectly, it always drifts slowly forwards :v:

I hate it how the game forgets your customizations so frequently, sucks to spawn a magrider only to find out the zoom perks for the mainguns were taken off somehow.

The quad Gatling gun for the Liberator's bombardier gunner is fucking awesome. It's utterly useless for killing infantry and kills vehicles pretty slowly (though it's [I]impossible[/I] to dodge), but it just fucking ANNIHILATES anything that has wings. It kills a Galaxy faster than any other weapon in the game, and Mosquitoes die in less than 2 seconds under its fire.

Just shit myself when this sliding body appeared infront of me which looked like it was doing press ups.

Sniped 2 guys off their Flashes as they were driving around. Both were headshots. Can't luck out any harder than that.

[img_thumb]http://puu.sh/13HRA[/img_thumb] This tank got stuck. [editline]9th September 2012[/editline] [img_thumb]http://puu.sh/13HU8[/img_thumb] And now I'm stuck inside the geometry. Awesome.

how long have these been in? [IMG]http://puu.sh/13HT3[/IMG][IMG]http://puu.sh/13FTp[/IMG] the chaingun looks weird as shit

A few days. They look weird because they're missing the parts which are animated, such as the handle and ammo gubbins.

Okay, is it me or did they do something funky to collisions? My magrider today has exploded 3 times today solely from bumping into things. It wasn't even damaged, I'd be hovering along, minding my own business and the damn thing would explode on it's own if I would brush against something.

SOE should create a different keybinding section for aircraft.

I hope they fix it next patch. Report it through in-game bug reporter if you haven't already, might speed things up a bit.

Does anybody know what/if there is a max drawdistance for Players? I'm trying to test it myself with a x12 scope, but I can't find a place with enough of a population to test it with. I know Vehicles seem to render forever as long as they're to way up in the air.

Worked better before.

Directly hitting a fleeing Flash with a rocket launcher as a HA has got to be the most satisfying thing ever

I watched a Lib pilot lift his nose up so the bomber could shoot down aircraft. What an amazing sight.
