[QUOTE=Jimesu_Evil;39988557]Oh dear... Buying a Kobalt (or any common pool weapon) for your Vanguard doesn't give you a Kobalt for your Prowler or Magrider because "They're different weapons." I was perfectly fine with not unlocking equivalent weapons on other factions since they [i]are[/i] different weapons, but a Kobalt on a Vannie, Prowler or Magrider are all [i]exactly the fucking same[/i].[/QUOTE] Are you sure? I thought they were talking about primary weapons with that, such as the HE turrets and stuff. Those [I]are[/I] different weapons.

[QUOTE=Amiga OS;39991336]How long are they keeping the servers down for then?[/QUOTE] They're just finishing up the details on how to ensure everyone gets half the FPS, shouldn't be long now.

Are they up yet?

[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;39991877]Are they up yet?[/QUOTE] Nope. [editline]21st March 2013[/editline] Is there some kind of server status thing I could embed in the OP?

Would anyone be interested in joining a Waterson VS outfit if I made one?

[QUOTE=Gen. Crumpets;39992155]Yes. [url]https://www.soe.com/status/[/url][/QUOTE] I meant an updatable graphic. Also the servers are back up. [editline]21st March 2013[/editline] But apparently nobody can log in. :v:

Stuck at 98% loading for me, and others as well.

[QUOTE=DarkWolf2;39992293]Stuck at 98% loading for me, and others as well.[/QUOTE] Some people are getting stuck at 98%, others are stuck at the login screen logging in forever. Also, is Facepunch being slow for everybody?

Good, i thought that i was the only one who couldn't log in on my characters. Also, yes. FP have been really slow this week, i believe it's because of the huge traffic.

Broome finally posted an update on the NC "sci-fi" helmet stuff: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/zDuz3FN.jpg[/IMG]

Are the servers up yet?

They've posted on the PS2 fourms that they know about the problem and are looking into it. See you all in another 5 hours. [editline]21st March 2013[/editline] Just managed to log in.

Ceres is still locked.

Well that was fun... There were like 6 people on NC on the entire continent. Me and 2 other guys tried to cap a tech plant, but they locked the servers.

[QUOTE=Trainbike;39992372]Broome finally posted an update on the NC "sci-fi" helmet stuff: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/zDuz3FN.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] I'd like to see more armors/helmets in the future with this kind of style. It looks really fucking badass.

[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;39992769]I'd like to see more armors/helmets in the future with this kind of style. It looks really fucking badass.[/QUOTE] I like these helmets because they seem to have borrowed from the PS1 styles a lot, which imo looked way better than anything PS2 has right now. [editline]21st March 2013[/editline] [quote]@MrG4F @WrelPlays I was told I could tell you guys, so yes :) These wont fit the MAX of course Im doing those designs now "sci-fi Max helms" [/quote] Also this.

So has this improved at all performance-wise since beta?

Helmets and armour wont be cross faction either and I think I read that even camo wont be cross faction. If almost nothing is cross faction, not even things that are the exact same weapon, what the fuck was the point of making SC purchases account wide? Do they really think that everyone who has alts just made alts of the same faction as their main? Nobody does that. They would have made themselves look less shitty if they had just kept SC purchases as they were to be honest.

Camo is cross faction, just checked.

The servers are going back up slowly, one at a time. Expect them all up within 10 minutes or so.

[QUOTE=Jimesu_Evil;39993373]Camo is cross faction, just checked.[/QUOTE] Well at least there's that I suppose. Making secondary vehicle weapons non-cross faction is still awful though.

Would seem dumb for the packs not to transfer either, they literally have faction equivalents.

Has the VS scifi helmet been shown?

[QUOTE=Killer monkey;39993517]Has the VS scifi helmet been shown?[/QUOTE] Ages ago, it was the first one. [thumb]http://www.planetside-universe.com/media/album/mp52rz6sp6/20130228_512ff9148a07e.jpg[/thumb]

[QUOTE=The golden;39993544]Literally everything has a faction equivalent. It wouldn't be balanced if there wasn't. The fact 3/4 of it doesn't carry over is beyond absurd.[/QUOTE] tbh I understand not having faction equivalents unlock, but stuff like common pool vehicle secondaries which are without a doubt the [I]exact same weapons[/I] not unlocking because SOE suddenly decided that they're different for whatever conjured arbitrary reason is downright insulting.
