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

[QUOTE=thisguy123;42970436]The VS sights do leave you with a very comfortable amount of perhiperal vision. Also as a primarly lasher user I find the zerg running bunnyhoppers to be the worst layers every becausle although my gun is porbably one of the only guns that can activly surpress your average idiot my allies have a habit of riunning into the stream OF VERY LARGE SLOW MOVING BRIGHTLY COLOURED GLOWING PROJECTILES! Not seeing them is NOT an excuse here you FUCKING well saw those balls! Also BDA come play Vanu on woodman, you can drive your flash around while I sit on the back and snipe tanks with my large anti-tank sniper cannon.[/QUOTE] My VS character is on Connery, I'm afraid! I don't play him very often though. NC is my main, with TR being my "I'm sick of NC" backup character. I might start putting some more time into VS, though. I don't have a tanker character yet, and I really love me that Magrider.

I want to be a TR tanker because the prowler looks cool as hell but it seems kind of awful compared to the others.

And then use tubo boosters to jump off them.

Fast as hell, with the dual cannons and lockdown as some great advantages. Yeah I miss the Vanguard shield when I use it but unless you get caught with your lockdown up and your pants down you can accelerate out of trouble pretty easily.

prowlers are pretty sweet. lock down and AP turns it into a machinegun of death, knocking out tanks, aircraft and infantry.

double xp weekend was a major fucking success, 1k certs without any boosts or membership!

Don't you just hate when you're trying to Aurax the last couple guns in a weapon line? I'm out of VS LMGs besides the Pulsar LSW, and am doing the NS-15M before it just because mehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

One of the defining moments for this game's community in my eyes was a VS guy in a tower fight, seeing me Lashing a doorway, running past me and into the doorway, and dying in the crossfire of my disco and the NC heavy on the other side. Dude sent me tells for half an hour about how I was the reason people died in Afghanistan, deleted his character, switched to TR, bought a shitload of boosts and rolled with some zergfit until he was BR50, and then sent me tells like once a day telling me to 1v1 him and redeem my e-honor or some shit. RIP in piss clueless HA, he never scored. [editline]25th November 2013[/editline] But people not knowing how doors work seems to be a common thread in this game. Like, I'm pretty suicidal with my HA because medics exist and how better to spam a grenade bandolier of concs or AVs on a MAX crash, so I'll often be charging something with some MAXes behind me and some motherfucker will sprint right up in front of me as I'm throwing that shit. Yeah please be right between me and some Scattercannons, I really needed that AV grenade to hit the ZOE MAXes [I]behind[/I] me and not the hostile dudes I threw the first one at. I laugh any time that happens with concs though because it looks like you just got submerged in jello.

Sometimes I forget concussion nades don't bounce and facepalm when I try and trick shot into a room full of goons and just stun myself

[QUOTE=d00msdaydan;42975034]Sometimes I forget concussion nades don't bounce and facepalm when I try and trick shot into a room full of goons and just stun myself[/QUOTE] my favorite is when a friendly runs in front of me just as i throw it stunning loads of my team mates and myself.

I face palm everytime

I was in a dogfight with a Mosquito in the south-eastern section Indar just now, and it was pretty intense; until he wove under a large rock and smashed into an NC Liberator that was passing by for no apparent reason. Love Indar.

So, tanking is actually going pretty well! I dropped all of my double xp certs into my prowler yesterday and decided to tackle learning it, and I've been doing pretty well. The first few times I got killed before I could even do a single thing, but I just went on a pretty big spree, like 18 infantry, three vanguards, and a guy in a galaxy before I got stuck on the terrain and blown to bits by an HA. I always wanted to cert out my tank, but it seemed like a bad investment. Having a ton of fun now, though :v:

Especally magriders, being able to pull a stunt jump off a cliff in a tank more than makes up for the main gun being locked into vehicle direction.

Fuck cliffs, do it off the enemy.

Has anybody else ever intentionally conc'ed themselves after being concussed? I tried that tonight and it was surprisingly effective. Guys come in thinking you're concussed, they get normal-concussed, you get crazy sensitivity inverted controls, and then the bad men die while you aim by sense of smell. Pretty good for self-harm all things considered.

Real men do crazy stunts with Racer 3 Lightnings aka unlimited 90km/h harasser chase mode, which also have some of the best hill climbing of the game, as long as you don't lose momentum.

Is there some way to replace the weapon/vehicle/walking sound effects? I want to give the weapons and vehicles more 'oomph', and I have always hated the walking sound effect.

You can stomp your feet up and down to make a walking noise, if that helps

[QUOTE=Ericson666;42985322]You can stomp your feet up and down to make a walking noise, if that helps[/QUOTE] Yelling "POP POP POP WATCHIN MOTHAFUCKAS DROP" when playing TR also helps.

Sabre-13 is nasty And it looks good [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/G2dfI2d.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=The golden;42984501]Lightning with max racer is fun as hell. Thing can do power-slides.[/QUOTE] The rival chassis (the turning radius one) allows it to do almost continuous drifts. :v: More useful IMO, as the Lightning has a HORRIBLE default turning speed. I'm pretty sure the default Prowler is more agile.

Hey TR you anti-vehcile secondary for tank/harassers is really good against infantry and anything.... Can I have one?

[QUOTE=thisguy123;42988458]Hey TR you anti-vehcile secondary for tank/harassers is really good against infantry and anything.... Can I have one?[/QUOTE] sure if you lend us your ZOE in return

[QUOTE=thisguy123;42988458]Hey TR you anti-vehcile secondary for tank/harassers is really good against infantry and anything.... Can I have one?[/QUOTE] Its usefulness against most targets is its compensation for having a terrible effective range. [editline]26th November 2013[/editline] Frankly, on my Prowler I would prefer to have an Enforcer most of the time, as I spend most of my anti-tank Prowler time sitting at long range where the Vulcan just turns into a shitty Basilisk. Vulcan is great on the Harasser, though.

So have they announced anything new content wise? I know the first 'operation: fix the damn game' patch got rolled out a week or two ago, but what about new weapons or vehicles that actually make the empires feel more unique? Because while the optimization is much needed, one of the biggest problems I have with this game is that it is severely lacking in midgame stuff to look forward to. I have a lvl 60 TR character. The only classes I care about are Light Assault and Medic. I p much have both skill, weapon and attachment wise maxed. I even pretty thoroughly experimented with the Lightening, harasser and flash. I do have characters with other factions but honestly, it feels like I'm just starting my TR character over with different skins and sounds. Each faction has a weapon pretty much equivalent to the other factions, and as you know all the skills for non max infantry are all identical. Like, I never really have any specific reason to play any other faction because I know there are no unique weapons to work for that aren't Rocket Launchers.

I would rather see them take a month or so to really focus on balancing the content we already have, because the game has some serious issues on that front. The NC have very poor MAXes and ES vehicle weaponry, the Flash is dramatically underperforming, the Harasser is way too strong, ZOE MAXes are broken as heck, etc, etc. Give us a sweeping balance patch or two and then worry about breaking it again with even more new content.
