Planetside 2 V6 - VS capped Indar? It's more likely than you think - Games

I bet you could make a deal with a friend in the US or a fellow Facepuncher to buy a card and give you the code. It's not like they said the actual [I]code[/I] itself will only work in the US, did they?

It isn't like everyone in the us gets it either. I haven't seen a seven eleven since I lived in California.

[img]http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/6026/balbobiggins.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] That's hilarious If only I could actually avoid being annoyed by silly names and just casually laugh. In live servers there're lots of people with that kind of names, and it all just oozes 4th faction.

Anything new in the last month and a half aside from the NS pistols and their 47 variants?

[editline]26th April 2013[/editline] Hm, the Harasser has surprisingly good handling, far superior to the Flash, I like it. [QUOTE][I]Here's the scoop. Your "item" is unlocked into a shared inventory across all your characters, but it's the exact item you unlocked. The items across different empire specific weapons are COMPLETELY different items, from a data perspective. Yes, including the tank secondary weapons - they have totally different mount point information and item id #s so we can track them separately in data. The common pool vehicle weapons are not, therefore when you acquire that item you can use it on all empires. All cross-empire infantry weapons are completely different (again, from a data perspective, not talking about gameplay mechanic attributes), and many of them do not have "equivalent" weapons, at best they have "associated" weapons - i.e the ones that were released together. So, what does all that mean?[/I] [I]It means to unlock empire specific items across empires we would need to create bundles, do a lot of work with item previews and stats comparison to allow you to check out the hades and the crow when you pick up a skep, and a hell of a lot of data work.[/I] [I]I know it's a lot of work because we're already looking into doing it, but, it's going to take a pretty long time to do. We wanted to get the main part of this feature, giving you the items you purchased across all your characters (that's exactly what this does) sooner rather than later.[/I] [I]No "greed" or "bait and switch" involved here, items are simply unlocked across all characters. The rest is a lot more work and we wanted to get this feature, which was something that was so highly requested by you guys out as soon as we could.[/I][/QUOTE] This is supposedly a quote from Higsby, I just found it quoted on the forums so don't kill me if it's fake. But it makes it sound like they are going to, in the far future give us full account-wide unlocks, including equivalents of weapons for other factions, this is very good news.

My TR outfit on Ceres had been organising a big event with the NC outfit leaders to erase the Vanu from Indar today, and when the event finally came, the NC fought the Vanu for five minutes, leaders lsot control of their troops, and decided to shoot us for four hours before coming to their senses.

Just went to download the test server, but it has 2 patchers: PSG Public Test Patcher SOE Public Test Patcher What's the difference? Is one European?

holy fuck i'm getting tired of this load of shit uppercut gun the TR have, it's impossible to get into smaller bases defended by guys with them because they just 1 shot you before you can even get a shot off. it's fucking ridiculous

[QUOTE=Uesrname;40435329]Just went to download the test server, but it has 2 patchers: PSG Public Test Patcher SOE Public Test Patcher What's the difference? Is one European?[/QUOTE] One is Proiben Sat Games or how they spell it, their servers are shit. (According to what i've heard.)

What sort of directional armor do you use on a Prowler? Or is it just better to use something else? Was thinking frontal armor and anchored mode could be hilarious.

[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;40435444]One is Proiben Sat Games or how they spell it, their servers are shit. (According to what i've heard.)[/QUOTE] The European servers are shitty yeah, but PSG in general are just shit.

BTW, is the official name of the buggy harasser?

The latest example would be how they "buffed" max AV weapons just days after the empire specific AV were announced which from the look of it are going to make the standard versions obsolete For instance, that quote is from a month ago, if you read the following reply he says that to include it they would have had to delay account wide unlocks by 3 weeks. A month after and there is no talk of even being officially planned or worked on.

I feel your pain. Well this happens when I play inf. You unload into the guys back he turns around and just blows you off your feat leaving you feeling pist off.

All the pump-shotguns oneshots close up, it's the trade-off for having shit at even medium range. I find it fair, and SOE seems to agree. I don't know what's special about the uppercut.

Quick question, what's your opinion on the NC? Do you think they're about right, OP, UP or what? I'm an NC player myself but I've been feeling increasingly OP lately and whenever I fight NC on my alts I always seem to get super wrecked. Plus there's the fact that all of the 4th factioners seem to be attracted to them right now.

If you guys ever want a good joke, go look at the stats of the different smgs and look at the TR ones damage. [sp]NC: 167, VS: 143, TR: FUCKING 125[/sp]

I don't know, I haven't checked the stats but I doubt they would do such an elementary mistake as a random lower bullet-damage without making up for it.

SOE seems to find it rather fine, most people seem to find it rather fine. I tried some of their weapons and I really liked it.

in my opinion all the shotguns and SMGs are pretty balanced between the factions, the only reason i'm annoyed by NC SMGs is because i suck at this game

AH is so goddamn amazing compared to the PPA and banshee, the flinch mechanics favor them, TTK is lower for the NC, and the starter HA weapon outranges semi auto sniper rifles. also scatmaxes. but vs are op guys their tanks can straef!!!!!!!!!!!

Though the flinch mechanics [B]did[/B] need to be changed. It was near impossible for NC to win a straight firefight if the enemy landed just a few hits on you with how it was before because we'd just get flinch-locked. I personally hope we get a slight nerf in some area to make up for it though because I do accept that it's not good how it is now either. I don't really care what gets nerfed, as long as something happens to us eventually. I mean, I hate feeling OP. It makes me feel like a dick.
