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

Does anyone have any tips on flying the fighters and other aircraft without crashing them of epicly failing with them? I have not even managed to take a kill with one of them yet as I crash into everything or get owned by other pilots.

[QUOTE=Jimesu_Evil;37648794]You own K/D is something to be proud of, but ultimately nobody else cares.[/QUOTE] Understandable, I just usually suck HORRIBLY at these games, so felt quite proud of myself and for some reason wanted to share.

Seems i get disconnected every few minutes.

Since the patch I can't see any friendlies on the minimap/map. Is that an option and I missed something or is it a bug?

think it's a bug

Damn, i don't get to play at all. Disconnected in seconds now :(

Game's pretty much unplayable right now because they keep restarting the servers, which resets the map and disconnects like everyone

[QUOTE=Firewarrior;37649246]Since the patch I can't see any friendlies on the minimap/map. Is that an option and I missed something or is it a bug?[/QUOTE] I'm getting it too. Also a friendly Vanguard rammed my Lightning from behind and exploded. Thankfully players who die inside vehicles can now be revived, so I revived him (which, by the way takes longer and doesn't bring them back at full health) and he said my lightning was invisible until he hit it. SCUs have a new model (they look like generators instead of computer consoles), take longer to repair, and have some robotic voice telling you when it's functional or destroyed. [QUOTE=d00msdaydan;37649330]Game's pretty much unplayable right now because they keep restarting the servers, which resets the map and disconnects like everyone[/QUOTE] Oh they're actually restarting them. That explains it. EDIT: Also they forgot to fix lockout timers.

Not gonna lie, that robotic voice creeps me out a little

[QUOTE=d00msdaydan;37649343]Not gonna lie, that robotic voice creeps me out a little[/QUOTE] No kidding. My volume was a bit too loud, so when I repaired the thing it scared the shit out of me. It's like the AVAST chick saying "VIRUS DATABASE HAS BEEN UPDATED". EDIT: Oh and the influence changes are in (i.e influence affects how quickly ticket bar fills, not how many ticket bars are needed), and influence is displayed right above the ticket bars. No more constantly checking the map to make sure outlying bases haven't flipped.

Has it stopped resetting yet? [editline]13th September 2012[/editline] Nope.

just got kicked. btw, anybody knows the difference between a 4x scope and a 4x LASER scope?

So I saw this guy yesterday. I'm assuming he's a dev? [t]http://i.imgur.com/vnCp1.jpg[/t] Never saw him in combat though; so I couldn't see the chaingun in action.

The servers right now: [img]http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080112183222/ssb/images/7/7c/ResettiSSBB.jpg[/img]

[editline]13th September 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=WolfeClaw;37646341]Despite my love for Heavy Assault, I wanted more accuracy so I switched to Light. Let me say that the Foregrip has greatly increased the accuracy and oh god it's great.[/QUOTE] You may be pleased to know, that soon they will be swapping the Heavy and Light assaults main weapon to the Assault rifle, and giving the Medic the LMG. They're also giving the carbine to all the classes as a basic weapon. I guess it makes sense, since the LMG and Heavy Assault weapons were too similar.

Higby was more interested in seeing how well it played out with the new class weapons than any solid long term plans. Like with the sanc rotations.

I like the idea actually. I just hope they don't weaken the carbine just because it is an all-class weapon. I rather like the TR carbine.

They're also reducing the average engagement ranges, which means nerfing stuff like no more LMG burst shooting Infiltrators dead at 200 meters anymore :C I imagine they'll still keep the carbine the premier short-medium ranged non specialised weapon. With the LMG becoming a more 'supportive' weapon rather than a decent all-rounder with 100 rounds mag as it is currently.

[QUOTE=Gray Altoid;37650266]I thought they were increasing engagement ranges.[/QUOTE] "We've seen the average engagement distance is longer than originally anticipated and we are going to more of a recoil model with certs to calm down the recoil. Again.. judge it when you play it."

Guess no planetside 2 for this afternoon, hopefully we'll be more lucky tonight.

Not sure how I feel about this. I kinda liked the way guns were effective up to large ranges, meant that firefights were much more intense and long ranged.

i don't even feel like the engagement ranges on the guns are that long atall honestly, the recoil becomes a bitch as-is. (bar the bolt driver) Speaking of which, i can't wait to see what they do for the VS infiltrator.

[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;37650349]Not sure how I feel about this. I kinda liked the way guns were effective up to large ranges, meant that firefights were much more intense and long ranged.[/QUOTE] Same. I'm going to wait until it's ingame though. I liked how the guns felt lethal.

They also said [QUOTE]we are not reducing the engagement ranges one bit. they are what make this game work. The model we are going to actually makes those engagement ranges work better. What it means simply is that gun recoil (and player skill in dealing with it) is more of a factor than cone of fire. That's all. So if you're aiming at a dude far away.. it's more likely your first shot hits. After that it depends on your certs and mostly your skill in dealing with whatever gun you have.[/QUOTE]
