Planetside 2 V4 - The roadmap to Basic Features and a Playable Framerate - Games

[QUOTE=d00msdaydan;40006577]Considering how many people can be in dying an area at any given time, ragdoll physics would be hell[/QUOTE] Especially since you wouldn't really be able to turn it off or even lower the amount of bodies because of things like corpse positioning affecting how medics perform, which could also leads to another set of problems in that it can make resurrecting a lot more difficult. It's just not worth it.

Bodies are already not synced to the server (people die where they are on your client when the server tells you they're dead), but yeah ragdolls would just cause even more problems. It's not an important feature, at least not until a year down the road.

Well, even so there'd still be shit like bodies falling down hills and medics having to chase them or bodies falling through floors making them impossible to reach. That kind of stuff would just be annoying and ruin the flow.

The VS launcher doesn't shoot as fast a projectile as I thought.

I thought they would be an instant beam? It's a laser,it should be at lightspeed(?)

I scored myself about 150 certs defending this damn place, felt quite proud of myself after that :v:

Yes, medics would have to chase them, but it would also get them out of the immediate line of fire, although depending on the situation it could end up causing them to run out of cover entirely. Also, they could add weight to the ragdolls so that they wouldn't roll down hills as easily. Either way, I agree that it isn't essential. It would just make the game feel less stiff imo. Guess it was just wishful thinking on my part to have hope they would even be able to incorporate a system like ragdoll at all into this engine.

[QUOTE=scratch (nl);40009120]I thought they would be an instant beam?

Oh, and the particle effect looks like trash, but who would have guessed it would have actually been good? The Pheonix on the other hand, is incredibly fun to use. I've gotten pretty good at smashing it into ESFs and infantry. And MAXes, never get tired of seeing a MAX desperately trying to hobble to safety as the rocket careens towards them.

After about two months of hiatus, I've finally started playing again. Two things: Love the PhysX Love the reasonable framerate. I am kinda disappointed that connery NC's pretty much warpgate'd on all the continents though.

Really loving this game. Recently I just joined a random squad and found myself in a kickass platoon of 4 full squads trying to win back from ground for the Vanu in teh north part of Indar, we rode a full batallion of tanks and ships and we kicked some ass. Most fun I had in a while, I even was appointed to lead Bravo for a good 2 hours, eventho my Battlerank is 6. Tho still a noob and trying to figure out some Certs and how the game works I was curious is there any form of friendlisting in this game? I wanna kick some more ass, and joining random squads only grants me a good one every now and then. Playing as Vanu on Mattherson, as ItsMozy.

Its only been one day and I've already been rocket sniped by the phoenix 4 times in one hour. I have a [I]slight feeling[/I] that people aren't going to use the phoenix for what it was intended for.

But if you want some serious organization you can join [url=http://azuretwilight.org/]AT[/url]. I don't think any inviters for either of those outfits are on as of this moment though. Both are VS on Mattherson so you don't have to wait for server switching.

Or just listin and follow, I kinda live in a house with 8 other people and I don't feel like talking alot when playing games. I can listin and follow orders tho, just won't talk unless nessecary.

BRB.U, we use mumble and always have open squads (tonights our "outfit night", though I won't be there due to work). AT and TEST are our punching bags. I personally like smaller outfits, TEST is literally just the reddit outfit and you get what you get with that, AT is a nice outfit but it is probably Vanu's top populated outfit in matherson so its pretty large and such, and probably a lot more serious+structured than other outfits. Smaller outfits are nice because there isn't as much rigidness with what you do, you know everyone better, and it can be more fun to have a solid time with 12-24 people every week versus a full platoon of just different people under the same moniker. I played with HAYA a bit during beta before I joined up with BRB.U and they were a pretty good group. Sizable but not nearly as big as AT [editline]23rd March 2013[/editline] (I already posted this but here's an outfit video we just cooked up lol) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekLWr6T5weo#![/media]

It would be silly but cool if we could get a futuristic double barreled shotgun for TR.

I have literally seen people use nothing but the phoenix when fighting, they just stand back and troll with the phoenix and goddamn it is ridiculous.

Well all those people claiming better FPS, it inversely affected me. I can't play over like 20fps now. It's unbelievable.

[QUOTE=Trainbike;40013009]TR? Shotguns are NC territory.[/QUOTE] I want VS shotguns that shoot out 12 plasma balls that bounce away from the walls. Think the flak cannon, good times.

[QUOTE=Samiam22;40013511]The phoenix is an absolute mockery of game balance. I have literally seen people use nothing but the phoenix when fighting, they just stand back and troll with the phoenix and goddamn it is ridiculous.[/QUOTE] Welcome to the CoD standard of "realism" where rocket launchers are more dangerous to infantry then to tanks. I would gladly bring back the old gaming gameplay balancing where you used AT for Anti-Tank, not for Anti-everything-and-the-kitchen-sink. It is one of those things that just pisses me off to no end, and when you add in a guided camera missile it just goes one step beyond poor reasoning

[QUOTE=Samiam22;40013511]The phoenix is an absolute mockery of game balance. I have literally seen people use nothing but the phoenix when fighting, they just stand back and troll with the phoenix and goddamn it is ridiculous.[/QUOTE] I think the problem is it has a bit too big a hit box, it can be easy to accidentally hit some one standing near your front while firing from the sunderer parked 2 miles from the fight. I haven't actually seen anyone try to shoot it down though, not sure how effective shooting it down is.

My outfit just had a Sunderer race to the VS Indar Warpgate, a Flash race to the Crown, and a Lightning race to the NC warpgate. It was incredible.

At least TR rockets are mildly useful since they can shoot air. But damn, the Phoenix is by a large margin the best launcher. VS really got shafted.

Don't know anything about BRBU, but I doubt that there are all that many outfits that require mics, only the insane ones where they require people to state the in game rank of the person they are talking to.
