[QUOTE=BananaMed;44115069]Believe it or not, it's KOTV, same for the TR one. We were about to capture Indar Excavation Site from the VS one time, when suddenly around 30 or even more Scythes suddenly appeared, like a plague. I had PTSD after that incident.[/QUOTE] I sued to roll with KOTV becuase they were the biggest, the quickest way to a fight that was useful in some way was to join a KOTV platoon and squad deploy... Now i'm just a lone wolf wearing their badge.... Just me, my tank and my max armour... if you ever see a tank driven by Guyon01... feel free to hop in, I'll take you to a fight... I'll show you battle, All i ask is you shoot tanks in the arse, otherwise I don't care who you are.
installed this again, died from air vehicles 500 times, noticed the launcher to lock onto air vehicles would take forever to get, uninstalled
ok

Air game seems like such a joke, I don't get why people complain about it so much. Oh right, beta.
Ever since I got a skyguard, Air chavs have become a cert farm instead of a threat. Popping a liberator full of BR100 engies HNNNNNG [editline]3rd March 2014[/editline] I even pimped out my Lightning just because of it.
Sure VS may underperform a bit and sometimes is just kinda...[I]there[/I], but given the massive hate boners TR and NC stroke furiously at each other, a third party is nice. On that note, I guess it's not too late to make my alternate character my main. Haven't spent any station cash...well...ever. I guess the Space Libertarians would be an easy target for obvious reasons, anyway.
[QUOTE=Ryo Ohki;44114396]In what alternate reality did that ever happen[/QUOTE] Except for a short spell right at release, they were the unwanted stepchild all the way up until at least that mega rebalance they rolled out late last year. They took third place in almost every category, in performance metrics. I can't comment on how they've fared since, as I stopped playing very shortly after that balance pass, but let's not pretend that just because they're apparently too strong now that they were always overpowered, when it's verifiably untrue. That's just silly.

Elements within and common to all factions may be overpowered, or someting very specific... but factions as a whole are probably in this big state of "meh" People whine because most zerging happens in close quaters where the NC actully have a small amount of faction bias on their side due to their MAX units being the close quatars kings.
Yeah, also faction weapon traits got thrown out of the window pretty much. Every faction seems to have the same variations of the same weapons only with a slight difference in stats.

[QUOTE=BananaMed;44114585] But in all honesty, I think it's the same as with the "grass is greener on the other side of the fence"[/QUOTE] This was what it was in Planetside 1 and this is what it is in Planetside 2, outside of a few outstanding outliers.
I'd go Vanu if it didn't mean having to start all over from scratch.

Aww yea, connery VS made a defense against TR and NC forces on Amerish for the tech plant alert win. Then EXE flew in like 25 galaxies and I made hella certs in the AA turret cuz of it

[QUOTE=Shortyish;44115283]installed this again, died from air vehicles 500 times, noticed the launcher to lock onto air vehicles would take forever to get, uninstalled[/QUOTE] Took me a few days of playing a couple hours a day, and that wasn't even putting all my certs into it. It's really not that bad. Used to be way worse.
Don't forget you can get 12 certs a day for logging in. After a year of not playing, I could play VS and get pretty much anything. This does assume you'll be into the game for over a year though.
What do you guys think of the crossbow? I find it's pretty awesome and fun to use considering it's a secondary, both in terms of power and utility It's perfect to use with the stalker cloak and for light assaults, just fly somewhere high up and start raining down explosive bolts. So much fun.

I really hate the out-of-bounds system. They should have kept it off-shore like it was in PS1, where you could go way out into the ocean, sometimes several kilometers out (depending on the continent) before it would shut down your aircraft's engines, causing it to plummet into the ocean.

Naturally I had to test it but all it did was spawn me out in the fuckin sticks. Spawning system's pretty trash in this game anyway. I get this bullshit all the time where I'll click a point and as I'm spawning it will disappear and send me somewhere random, even though nothing's changed and I should be able to spawn there.
The 'Reinforcements needed' tab needs some work too, half the time it shows bases out in the ass-end of nothing happening while the bases that are on fire and need like two more guys to be able to push back the invading heathens will require either airlift or spawn hopping
Vehicles, and anything cool in this game is all part of the 10 year plan, the latter half of that year that is. Also, something I never really get is how people compare certain weapon to other games to games in this game. Every gun in this game feel really odd at the best of times, and often have unpredictable recoil. Whenever I play this game and I feel good about my kill streak, I take a step back and notice how close I had to be to my enemy to do what I did, or how many times I fired, or the fact that I simply cannot kill enemies at mid range without spamming shots with a full auto or semi auto and feel satisfied. It just feels like so much of the bullet ballistics are down to random chance, latency and bizzare and outright shitty player movement and animations. Personally, I feel like they need to slow infantry down by like 25-35%. Give them actual weight, and change the base movement speed of certain classes. It's really weird how heavily armored HA guys an move at the same speed as lightly armored engineers, medics, and light assaults. Then again, I can see that getting sort of annoying so maybe not. I just feel like player movement in this game really needs to be put on par of actual good shooters like BC2, CSS/CSGO/Halo/ect.
