I think a fun addition for the Prowler would be mobile deploy. You can kick deploy in whenever, but you have to roll to a stop and undeploy normally after stopping. Then you could lurch around a corner and commit, though your side armor would already be facing the problem and your rear would be pretty endangered too. Just, something to let it be used in combat with other vehicles. I'm a little depressed that after maxing out lockdown I opted to go for fire suppression because at least I'd use it in tank fights. I used to think magburner was crappy, but gotta admit a lot of tanks have boosted away from otherwise certain death. Shield naturally stops a lot of hate, but at least it's bearable now. Still would prefer a damage reduction buff instead of flat invulnerability. [editline]7th July 2014[/editline] I can't see why they haven't added turret stabilization yet. Can't they just make your camera function similarly to third person, and have your gun try to follow the center of your very stabilized personal camera? That'd even allow turret traverse speed to be a meaningful stat to be used with different turrets. Really there's a lot about tanks I'm unhappy about.
is double xp still on? I just raked in like 200 certs in less than an hour somehow. then again I was a medic, but I'm still not sure if that's why
I wish. Back to super peasant grinding.
[QUOTE=Raidyr;45330763]I wish. Back to super peasant grinding.[/QUOTE] Considering I only play 2 games now, I didn't feel really bad to throw some cash at a allaccess sub. It made my PS2 life much easier. If you only play PS2 and a lot, considering it isn't a bad idea.
If I buy a bundle does it unlock stuff cross server and character? eg if I buy the Lightning Bundle on my Emerald NC, do I have it unlocked on my Connery VS?
[QUOTE=Raidyr;45332490]If I buy a bundle does it unlock stuff cross server and character? eg if I buy the Lightning Bundle on my Emerald NC, do I have it unlocked on my Connery VS?[/QUOTE] It will be available on all of your characters on the purchasing account if you buy with station cash.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;45332490]If I buy a bundle does it unlock stuff cross server and character? eg if I buy the Lightning Bundle on my Emerald NC, do I have it unlocked on my Connery VS?[/QUOTE] You might want to look up the specific bundle, because I remember a while back one of the bundles that unlocked a bunch of vehicle weapons didn't unlock it cross faction because they're the same stat wise but different items faction wise... Or some shit like that, they might have fixed that by now though
[QUOTE=The golden;45338575]I cannot justify paying SOE sub fees when they are total morons that have no idea how to manage a game properly.[/QUOTE] It's hard to say because they are so willing to drastically fix some parts of their game (Resource revamp is the best thing ever and its coming in 2 weeks) but the two things that keep me from playing consistently have been problems since closed beta. I'd pay $15 a mo easily if my performance was a little better and fights more consistent. [editline]9th July 2014[/editline] I don't expect to run the game at 60 FPS on Ultra but I feel like it should do a little bit better than 20 FPS on lowest.
I love being medic. There are parts where you're literally holding the defence together and it's intense and so much pressure and the greatest feeling of satisfaction when you pull through and get all the thankyous.

[QUOTE=The golden;45338575]I cannot justify paying SOE sub fees when they are total morons that have no idea how to manage a game properly.[/QUOTE] haven't you been whining about this game solid for like two years now I've also gotten into the habit of reading all your posts in a nasally voice "o-ohhhh vey! I just caaan't stand whaat they've doone to the game what a shoah"
[QUOTE=Gentry;45338977]haven't you been whining about this game solid for like two years now[/QUOTE] It's a good game to whine about all things considered.
Medic and engineer are the two classes I play most as in different situations they are the people holding a defence from falling apart. As HybridTheroy for medic you can be in a situation where many fall constantly and need reviving. With engineer you can be what stops your front line or defencive vehicles but from blowing up like tanks stopping the enemy vehicles from rolling in or stopping your only sundy spawning you at the enemy base from blowing up. That and you can be in situations where enemy vehicles are rolling in and your people need more rockets so time to put down an ammo pack. I play those classes so much as any battle I go into unless it is a zerg you will be short on either medics or engineers.
ladies, please. take it to the sub-reddit.
I've never tracked how many certs I got every time I played, but last night I was kind of amazed at getting things like 20 certs in one life (on foot no less). Overall I feel like I'm progressing pretty quickly actually. I'll have my medical applicator maxed very soon. This thing is a fountain of exp, it's ridiculous. I've also found firing missiles at vehicles to be very productive, but only when there is enough firepower around to kill them before they escape. Otherwise the points for merely damaging them aren't worth the effort. On that note, killing scythes feels so good...
[QUOTE=The golden;45343371]Because I've been playing the game since closed beta and I would like to see it do well and be successful but it's shedding players like a fuzzy dog in the heat of summer and the developers don't know what the fuck to do.[/QUOTE] Well you're doing a really good job on facepunch.

Funniest thing is if you look at your kill log on the website it shows you as killing the aircraft with the same aircraft as if you was flying the enemy factions ESF. You wouldn't think you would get a kill very often doing this but it is surprising how often it will happen. This is how it will show up on your kill log. I kind of wish it actually showed the gun I used it would be nice to have a record of killing a Scythe with a T1S. [t]http://static.dyp.im/6o8gL7Em2n/7db7b0679238d4f8ade278108fda4937.png[/t]

I seldom see anybody firing up at them unless they have rocket launchers and the like. An aircraft kill with a primary is one of the most satisfying fucking things ever.

[editline]11th July 2014[/editline] Also if half the people around me fired at an ESF too we would probably deal a considerable amount of damage. When I fly around almost nobody fires their primary at me so to be honest I am kind of lucky I am one of the few who does do it.

I've killed a few aircraft with my trusty Mercenary but I will always fondly remember my Mosquito kill in Planetside 1 I got with a gold ammo Sweeper.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;45361026]Is there a way to get a specific implant or is it just really throwing stuff in the deconstructor until it pops up?[/QUOTE] No current way to get something exact but you can guaranty you wont get the same implant if you use 3 or more of the same one in a deconstructor.
Was there a recent patch that completely fucked the game's performance? I used to get decent frames in any situation but now I experience constant stutters and slowdowns that cause the game to be unplayable. Intel Core i5, 4 GB RAM, Geforce GTX 560.

Vanguard being shit? I dont think so. Its a beast together with the AP barrel and a TOW mounted on it. Im not even scared of magriders anymore. Also its fun to one shot those pesky esf's
