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

[QUOTE=Monkeytracks;44039838]Saw this on reddit. I bring evidence of NC being OP. As unaware as all these fuckers were that got shot to hell, I can't remember a time where I did that much damage as a TR (Got close with the Jaguar I bet). Also notice how unaware EVERYONE is.[/QUOTE] Thats NC for you. Once you learn how to control the recoil they completely outclass TR weapons.

[QUOTE=samuel2213;44040292]Thats NC for you. Once you learn how to control the recoil they completely outclass TR weapons.[/QUOTE] It goes against every fiber in my body to say "but their weapons are stronger". But I honestly think NC weapons are a bit above TR.

Hoookay... just got off the test server, and there are a couple of new things to note. First, the good. They've added a 'new player questionnaire' with about 8 or so questions about your preferred playstyle, then assigns you a class based on the answers. You can accept the class or pick a different one, and you'll be granted a free weapon for that class, which is pretty neat. I did the questionnaire on my NC character but didn't get the prompt on my VS or TR characters, so it looks like it's one per account. Second, the oh my god why are they doing this this is just awful. Forced voice callouts. Every time you kill someone, every time you reload, every time you throw a grenade, every time you pick your nose, your character will politely and clearly inform [i]everyone[/i] in the area. So good luck doing any sneaky-sneaky stealth stuff, and say goodbye to your sanity when you're in the middle of a huge battle hearing nothing but [b]"FRAGOUTFRAGOUTENEMYDOWNFRAGOUTRELOADINGCOVERMERELOADINGCOVERMEFRAGOUTENEMYDOWN"[/b] Why. Oh and third, [thumb]http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr132/Jimesu_Evil/PlanetSide22014-02-2521-15-49-32-1.jpg~original[/thumb] [i]aaaaaaaaa[b]AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA[/b][/i]

Yeah we were discussing how lovely it is that you don't call out when you drop betties.

Probably just the things that would never ever really happen while trying to be quiet (like ammo). Also, wouldn't it be great if infiltrators had a seperate callout set where everything they say is mumbled? They don't have much that they [I]need[/I] to call out anyway. And while we're on verbal callouts, more voice macros would be nice. I feel like all the factions just need to learn to say no every once in a while.

They should make an in-game noise meter, so that when it's above a set mark the characters are doing these voice callouts. When it's below it, the characters stay silent.

Phaseshift(renamed Shade) has a OHK up to 200m range(V10 has 250) and it has no bullet drop, jesus christ this is gonna be OP as fuck.

I heard the TR sniper (TRAP??) is pretty trashy, of course the poor old TR gets the end of the stick covered in shit and worms. I think the TR should just get Jeagers instead of new weapons from now on. Charging the crown piloting Cherno Alpha would be so hot

From my experience, TR's strength comes from numbers, for example the Prowler's lockdown ability with several other tanks pretty much makes an unstoppable gunwall that makes every other MBT suffer critical existence failure we need something better gun-wise. Twin-linked weapons for vehicles would be good. Maybe some bigger LMGs

Just a vehicle that houses its weapons in nearby floating drones. Simulated more dakka by adding additional sources of bullets.

[QUOTE=jiggu;44040250]I'm planning to expand my NC heavy arsenal, would you recommend EM6 or EM1, or both?[/QUOTE] EM1 is the closest thing you'll get to a bullet hose/support gunner. The recoil is really managable and the fire rate and damage put in the midrange with other faction weapons. I've got my Auraxium on it, love the thing to death. Its a jack of all trades support weapon. You won't win in extremes but every other time you'll kick ass. Haven't tried the EM6.

It's like a not as beefy BR thats much easier to use and probably a slightly better ttk. Is it a sniper rifle? Absolutely not. But if they intend to make it a midrange weapon, then I feel like it is a really solid choice.

It also has a conflicting role than what the devs want it to be. They said it was supposed to be a rifle for 'aggresive snipers' The rifle it is most comparable to is the Semi-Auto Scout rifle. In every single category aside from hip firing and mag size it is inferior. It has 3 more bullets per magazine but is otherwise a pile of shit. It has a .9 second chamber time which is actually similar to that of the scopeless semi auto which has a 1.08 refire rate. By 'Aggresive snipers' I was hoping that they would have provided an equivilant to the BR the the currently BR-less classes like the Light Assault and Medic to really change up the gameplay of those glasses. Alas, instead they made a gun that is categorically worse than weapons we already have in a class already saturated in semi auto weapons. In fact, it is a fairly fucking stupid close range addition considering smgs are probably a far better choice for hipfiring than it.

oh god the revive nerf please help

Fucking auraxiumed my first weapon ever: the Nyx Got that baby near launch. Despite our issues, it did me well till its retirement today

Whoa! First time I got called out for being a hacker in any game ever! Shot some pretentious level 100 infiltrator on top of the bridge at J908 while flying in a scythe and he tried to call me out on it. It felt fucking great.

What's the best bullet sponge build for an HA in terms of ability and suit slots?

[QUOTE=Monkeytracks;44052425]Congrats, even if it is only because the devs hate TR[/QUOTE] Nope. [QUOTE=mon_ons;44051104]oh god the revive nerf please help[/QUOTE] What revive nerf?

[QUOTE=Jimesu_Evil;44053589]What revive nerf?[/QUOTE] [quote]Corpses now have a 30 second decay timer. If the dead player is not revived before this timer then thier corpse will be removed from the world and that player is no longer reviveable. Successful revives now have a 10 second accept/decline timer. If this timer reaches zero then the revive is declined and that player's corpse is removed from the world.[/quote]

Oh man. Not sure what to think of that just yet. At the very least it'll reduce the number of douchebags waiting around forever for a revive just so they don't mess up their K/D I guess.

Or when you're a MAX and some dumb medic just ignores you as he runs on top of your corpse. Also this: [quote]I'm fine with this provided corpse targetting is fixed as well. Nothing like having the name and body 10m apart and playing "find the hitbox" when you have time constraints. [/quote]

[QUOTE=mon_ons;44053617][B]Medic Changes[/B][/QUOTE] I didn't even realize that corpses didn't have either of these, I just kinda assumed there was a timer.

[QUOTE=GoldenDargon;44054480]Anybody?[/QUOTE] If you are just looking for a general bulletsponge kinda deal, nanoweave/resist shield is your general goto. Just remember to pop your resist before you start an engagement, else it is kinda useless. Pack a medkit or two and you can usually last a good while provided you get to pick your fights.
