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

[QUOTE=KorJax;43000569]Aren't generic camo's and the NS SMG account-wide? I don't think the boost is though. Even if it should be.[/QUOTE] You know what, scratch that! Turns out it was activated on all my soldiers.

[QUOTE=Flamie;42997752]This game has been too easy recently, do you guys have any tips on how to make the game interesting? How do you guys play Planetside to make it challenging?[/QUOTE] Do you by any chance play as Vanu?

[QUOTE=BlackRainbow;43007384]Do you by any chance play as Vanu?[/QUOTE] I honestly don't get why people think different factions requre different amounts of skill. All three factions are piss easy in every regard.

[QUOTE=jiggu;43007398]I honestly don't get why people think different factions requre different amounts of skill. All three factions are piss easy in every regard.[/QUOTE] there has got to be [I]some other[/I] reason why I suck at this game

[QUOTE=jiggu;43007398]I honestly don't get why people think different factions requre different amounts of skill. All three factions are piss easy in every regard.[/QUOTE] where's that sick burn picture with the three factions listed as difficulty settings with vanu as easy mode and nc as hard

[QUOTE=KorJax;43002215]Problem with the eridani is that the mag size is way to low for the damage/etc and if you go with extended mag you pretty much throw away the ability to use adv. laser sight which is extremely useful for SMG's[/QUOTE] SMGs are not exclusively for hipfiring. Using a foregrip or well-timed ADS bursts has its advantages. I can't recall ever having been killed as an HA by a high capacity SMG unless it was being used by another HA, but Cyclone/Eridani users have managed before. [QUOTE=KorJax;43002215]The only way Eridani even starts paying off is if you managed to become a god at timing short reloads (effectively making the mag size EVEN SMALLER) and are pro at taking advantage of the slightly higher DPS it can offer.[/QUOTE] Average KPH data would suggest it performs just fine compared to the other SMGs. It isn't an unreasonably demanding gun, you're just below-average at using it.

[QUOTE=Lambda 217;43007617]where's that sick burn picture with the three factions listed as difficulty settings with vanu as easy mode and nc as hard[/QUOTE] anyone who actually believes that though is just a crybaby

[QUOTE=NoDachi;43007793]anyone who actually believes that though is just a crybaby[/QUOTE] I don't know, I get the drop on Vanu and TR all the time and pump half a Guass Rifle into their back then have them turn around and kill me in a few shots.

[QUOTE=Zeroarmorclo;43008156]I don't know, I get the drop on Vanu and TR all the time and pump half a Guass Rifle into their back then have them turn around and kill me in a few shots.[/QUOTE] every one complains about this regardless which side they play. its hardly empirical evidence I play all the empires and I don't get the whine. Well I do, because it happens in every faction based competitive game.

[QUOTE=Zeroarmorclo;43008156]I don't know, I get the drop on Vanu and TR all the time and pump half a Guass Rifle into their back then have them turn around and kill me in a few shots.[/QUOTE] I play all three factions and it's the same shit wherever you go. Sometimes you just blow someone up and sometimes it takes immense amount of time to kill somebody.

The standard weapons all have really similar feel in my book.

Anyone else unable to purchase station cash with a credit card right now? I'm getting declined even though the bank says my account is fine.

The only thing I despise about VS right now is ZOE. That crap is just bullshit, I honestly think I would have cared less if they'd just given them their fucking jetpacks. MAXes should never be faster than every other infantry unit, mobility was their single weakness. I think there's shit with all three factions I just despise at the moment though. Could probably argue that it all balances out in the end I suppose. I don't know.

they don't run faster than infantry

IMO they should make the TR and NC versions as fun to use as ZOE instead of nerfing ZOE, because honestly ZOE ain't anything special. It's hilarious when they don't expect you to shoot them to death with ordinary bullets.

Is anyone else having trouble starting up the game? Once I click play on the launcher the screen goes black for a bit and then it immediately closes...

that picture lost a lot of its traction when they changed how flinch works. also, ZOE is too effective to be balanced. it must change instead of bringing everyone's MAX suits up to its level of absurdity.

Increase the amount of damage taken? Make the suit deactivate after too much use?

[QUOTE=Kaelazun;43020167]Remove the speed or damage boost? Increase the amount of damage taken?

Hey guys, I'm getting a new computer! How well would this game run on a 280X? I'm thinking of getting back into this game once I get my new PC.

Vehicle stealth on ESF doesn't affect noise, right? Because it would be pretty damn cool if it did. I could actually be a invisible douchebag then. To clarify: I'm already a douchebag, I just want to be invisible too

it only effects radar

"Press f to get plus 10 to stats and -10 to defense" For the faction that supposedly uses superior tech as their maxim this seems kinda just the same as basic PC overclocking. We coulda had jetpacks... but no.... Short range teleport drives? Nope! Hover Ski's? Nah! Chest mounted laser cannon? Ok that's probably asking for TOO much! But you get my point, there is next to NO reason not to use the ZoE it just makes your everything better, either you kill the guy faster then normal or you would've died anywho. And this is coming from a guy whop MAINS vanu, yes thats right! We wanted something else but all we got was the "Instant win button" it doesn't feel all that fun to use but you may as well because else people who ARE using it have all the fun. On a side note I found out why the TR are under performing. They seem to have contracted a nasty case of Boneitus [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/487809513214582126/67FF5888E0EC712889C3A53AC1565D2687486DEA/[/t]

How's the performance now?

FPS-wise it's better, still the same horrible loadscreens and slow UI though

Turns out the jackhammer has a burst-fire mode, which is godlike.

funny bit about TR atleast on connery. when i play my TR alt i can hardly ever find an ammo pack. everyone plays medic. its the exact opposite for connery NC.
