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

What the heck is going on? I try to log on and I get sent to a black screen, if I click esc I get the ingame menu even though I haven't logged onto any character yet. The third time I try to start the game I get sent to character creation instead, but I cannot complete it.

Game is having updates right now. It's pretty stupid how SOE haven't locked the launcher yet, or at least have some sort of notification, I don't know of any other games that just leave it open.

Odd, two days ago during downtime it gave me some error instead, they should probably fix that. It seems to be working fine now.

This downtime is pretty fucking shit. "What's that, it's Friday night already? Better do some server maintenance!" The fuck is up with Briggs? Seriously?

How's the fury for the harasser? Did they nerf it hard or is it still good?

The new drop-pod spinning animation.. it's so bad.. it's good. [img]http://abload.de/img/ps2rifthjx3f.gif[/img] Some people just don't have the stomach for it.

Yeah, I saw a few people complaining about it on the forum. I feel sorry for them, I've never had any issues like that.

Even better how his name is "DIEHUMANSCUM"

Why the fuck have single-use camos been removed?

They should really start reducing the price for old items. If people haven't bought those items by now, they probably won't at the current price.

Personally I think all the items are priced retardedly. Shit's like $50 for some dif camo.

Wow, the new semi-auto AV MAX weapons seem to be flippin stellar against infantry (except for the Vanu one!). I've only gotten to play around with them in the VR room, but both the NC and TR MAXes now have extremely strong anti-personnel weapons at all ranges. The VR has crosshair tracking missiles that one-shot any infantry unit (with both barrels). It even works at <10m because the missile immediately begin converging on your crosshair, rather than just flying straight out, offset to the left and right of it. The TR one takes two shots, but has a much higher rate of fire, round velocity, and gives you the option to pop in and out of cover, since you don't need to track your projectiles. The Vanu one doesn't do shit against infantry. I expect that both the TR and NC will receive heavy nerfs to these weapons, as far as infantry effectiveness goes, if they perform this well in actual combat stuff.

[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;40514867]It does make sense to me really, lower the prices and people can afford to buy stuff more regularly thus increasing the income for SOE.[/QUOTE] Exactly. I can understand things being semi-expensive with the game being new and such and the inventory being small, but now that there is much more to buy and the game is no longer new it's stupid how there are still thing in the store where their baseline price is crazy high. I mean, why is it still 700sc to buy the shitty little bolt action snipers that don't come with a scope or the full auto scout rifles? Who buys that stuff anymore?

[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;40514867]It does make sense to me really, lower the prices and people can afford to buy stuff more regularly thus increasing the income for SOE.[/QUOTE] well it is a good economic sense to go for low margin high volume over the other way around, especially since there is no production costs for SOE. But I don't know, there is a reason why people spend $30-50 on substandard tanks in WoT.

The one advantage of the vortex is that it's easy to hit things at a range because of the fast bullet speed is completley negated when it takes [I]4x longer[/I] to kill things at a long range than it would if you simply went in closer and used comets, or got a lucky hit in with comets. Not to mention you have to charge the gun (a large downside) and you can't zoom in at all (a large downside when doing ranged shooting). All of these things force the effective range of the vortex's to be within 200-250m... a range that comets can start easily hitting targets, which do double the damage output.

It's too bad the NC version of the "Loyal soldier" camo is terrible. I like free stuff but free stuff I'd actually use is preferable.

Just spent all my certs on a new weapon for the Harasser. I'm disappointed weapons don't carry over to other vehicles that can use them as well, meaning i have to spend even more certs to get the same thing.

Got the "Loyal soldier bundle" free camo, sort of looks like digital camo but with more of the secondary faction colour, don't know if there is anything other than camo.

I'd probably have used the camo if it wasn't so oversaturated like the other faction camos.

I think pretty much all the camo options i've seen have looked quite bad.

Faction coloured camo only works with TR imo.

[/QUOTE] EEEEhhhmmmm. The TR one doesn't kill in two shots. It kills in 4. Unless you meant two twin fired shots.

[QUOTE=Framperton;40515468]EEEEhhhmmmm. The TR one doesn't kill in two shots. It kills in 4. Unless you meant two twin fired shots.[/QUOTE] Not to mention it has barely any spash damage and has CoF too soo yeeeeah it's even worse than the HEG at AI outside of VR.

Is it just me or are all their login servers just went crashing down? Can't log in on their forums, can't start the game, some people say if you log out of launcher it won't let you in...
