Hossin is even worse, passed by a small convoy yesterday where everyone were playing heavy-metal songs while going through this really dark swamp.[/QUOTE]
Worse? I haven't met anyone who played proxi music in the last 6 months, I'm jealous.
Anyway I just jumped over a rocket from a heavy that tried to dumbfire me to death, then proceeded to shoot him in the face. One of those moments you wish you had filmed.
Speaking of SOE live, remember these sexy motherfuckers?

Well they showed model versions of these and as expected theyve been butched to the point of ugly. Just look at that VS one, RIP my hopes and dreams.

TBH all of those updates look good, keep in mind that there will probaby be new armor sets launched alongside and/or armor set support for the Player Studio.
I wouldn't worry too much.

Those images are so low res that you can barely even make the armour out so I'd love to know how you came to this conclusion.

You literally can't see the detail on the VS suit because it's a picture of a picture on a projector taken from a potato and you're already going "boo hoo they butchered my cosmetics :((((("
Did the server just shut down for anyone else suddenly? Was in the middle of a failed zerg-rush on The Crown and the suddenly got disconnected with no signs of lag or anything.
Emerald died for me.

Please compare the VS concept with the model and tell me the model is better at all. You can clearly see that the TR and NC models ARE of the concepts, with some changes and WIP inconsistencies, so it makes sense that the VS one would be of the concept. Ill keep final verdicts for release but fuck me right now that VS one is just awful IMO .

The concept art appears to be VS heavy armour while the model is labeled "VS MAX".
[QUOTE=jiggu;45707509]Why is a light assault holding a TRAP? A Valkyrie can't fit all those players, this is silly. Why does the prowlers not look like shoeboxes? Why do they have centralized turrets? Why is that medic duel wielding a shotgun and medic gun at once? When can we expect these buffs?[/quote]
On the one hand I want to not care.
On the other hand, why do their artists regularly ignore how the game works?

Unf Unf, bought the Eridani for my Medic as a close-range defense weapons.
I'm winning most engagements. this thing is beyond sexy.

The Eridani is.. alright, but you're a medic, and you have access to some of the best guns in the game: [url]http://planetstats.net/7148,29000[/url] (F5 until it works.)

Oh well, i have that other one but weirdly i just don't find it as good, maybe it just recoils differently but i struggle with it. The Eridani was for my Infiltrator, but i replaced the H-V with it and just did much better in close quarters.
[QUOTE=Xuerian;45715704]On the one hand I want to not care.

Because most artists don't play the games they get commissioned to do art for.

They're doing artwork on the fiction, not the game.
The same way the game is also just a pastiche of the fiction
[QUOTE=Saber15;45717467]Because most artists don't play the games they get commissioned to do art for.[/QUOTE]
Yeah but someone has to tell them what they want them to draw, and that person did pair up those weird combinations.
[QUOTE=Jacob_sword;45708630]Cool, Its a very fun outfit. I use to be One of the high ranking leaders of the outfit. But there was this big fight we had a while back and most of the young leaders left. I started my own outfit SDCo with some of the other past PXP leaders. Anyway my advice to you is do not get involve with leading that outfit. Its very fun and sunshine on the outside but the inside is very dark.[/QUOTE]
I get that feeling a lot, not surprised though. Flexo bumbles through orders.

Anyone whose NC on Emerald knows MadHatta, its like a requirement to play while he's DJing.
Is ESF stealth a good purchase? Anyone has it? And why the fuck does the last upgrade cost fucking 1000 certs?
[QUOTE=LtBubbles;45718026]Is ESF stealth a good purchase? Anyone has it? And why the fuck does the last upgrade cost fucking 1000 certs?[/QUOTE]
Pretty much all last upgrades cost 1k. Some even cost 1k each for the last few.
Am I just retarded or is the M14 Banshee for the Mosquito literally worthless? It requires you to hit infantry dead on anyhow and it has less ammo than the default, lower accuracy and a lower fire rate.
[QUOTE=FlyingDog;45718237]Am I just retarded or is the M14 Banshee for the Mosquito literally worthless? It requires you to hit infantry dead on anyhow and it has less ammo than the default, lower accuracy and a lower fire rate.[/QUOTE]
It has AoE and I think does more direct hit damage to infantry than any other Mosquito gun

Maxing out stealth lets you shit on lockon infantry, one of your hard counters. So it's super good.
The only other things that can get you are flak (which you can't really get anything to stop) and other ESF (which stealth also helps a lot against). It also let's you sneak up on tanks for butt shots more easily, especially by mountains.

Banshee is a beast at crushing peasants that think they stand a chance against your skychariot. So the former.
I haven't played since just before the release of Hossin. Last time I played was when Amerish improvements started rolling out.
Has much changed? I'm going to be back in the game in a few weeks so I need some intel :)

Also, anyone know if SOE accounts will transfer over to PS4? We might be getting a PS4 for the flat and if I'm tempted to try out PS2 when it's released as long as my characters are inter-platform.

The Banshee is the destroyer of worlds, by far the best AI weapon in the game.
It's a goddamn high explosive chaingun.
In crowded areas, it's even more deadly than a rocket pods or HE prowlers, as it has a nigh-instant TTK against infantry.
Slap on infrared sights and 1-2 levels of magazine size and you'll annihilate any infantry you find.
Your Mossie becomes a poor man's A10 when you fit the Banshee on it.

They're working on the loading screens, not concept art or book covers. It just looks unprofessional and silly.
It's not like it's a big deal, but it's not like it's hard to miss, either:

Planetside has always done this for decades.
They're not trying to represent gameplay through art. Both gameplay and art both just different representations of the same fiction.
It's just art geez, it's not a list of game features.
In other news, good news regarding scopes and bullets not going where the crosshair is aiming.
[quote="http://www.reddit.com/r/Planetside/comments/2dppiq/planetside_2_scopes_more_needed/cjs4ss3"]I just finished overhauling all the red dot/emissive scopes to use our new scope shader. This will make all scopes perfectly aligned and consistently visible across the board. Look for it in the next couple patches.
The new shader will easily allow us, and potentially you, to change the color, size, and reticle of the sights.
I'm excited for this to get in game.
Edit: Thanks for the gold. I also want to emphasize that this wasn't just me being awesome. This took effort from our tech artists and designers, too.[/quote]
In other words they're doing what BF4 did a month or two ago, shown here (skip to 1:28)
