[QUOTE=afromana;45781521]Something must've gone pretty weird during its rendering, wonder what program it was made in.[/QUOTE] Blender. That's very typical of basically not having enough passes for shadows, he could really use to bump it up. Makes it look like test footage.

Servers are being DDoS'd right now (or so I've been told). The lag is absolutely awful.

Why? Why are they being DDoS'd?

[QUOTE=Swilly;45786892]Why? Why are they being DDoS'd?[/QUOTE] because some wannabe lulzsec people decided they're going to make an "anti-corporation" message and ddos all of sony's online gaming backend. PSN is reported as down, too.

Well, there goes my main gaming plan for the afternoon. Guess it's back to Dark Souls now.

A shame since it was the double xp weekend now

That seems more like a 'fuck the people who use these services' sort of message than a 'fuck the corporations' message

Also, back to the topic of music. I forgot, if you're playing NC. You need to have "I am a Real American." Just like Danger Zone, it belongs because fherduherm.

[QUOTE=munky91;45779567]Sunderer has a bunch of useful stuff early on. Buy gameplay with your certs. Getting a faster shooting gun is okay, but not really different from normal. Getting access to something new (AV weapons, C4, abilities, especially AA) makes the game more diverse. You can also try things out in VR before you buy, and for many things trial them in the game for a short (short) while.[/QUOTE] C4? :dance: [QUOTE=Torpov;45780015]And if you like playing medic, definitely try to upgrade the medical applicator. Not enough medics actually do useful shit, and the maxed out one has me rolling in certs every time I play.[/QUOTE] My first certs went towards the medics gun and special ability. But then I realized I'm a shit medic. They've just been piling up since :v:

Thanks for the C4 tip, bought it for my infiltrator. First use I snuck into a NC facility that was being contested, took one of the points, put my C4 right on it and hid in a corner. Not 10 seconds later a whole squad floods the room to take the point back. Like fish in a barrel :v:

I just plant them anywhere an enemy may come at some point and a few moments later when I'm having fun as an HA swatting airchav's I get a few kills. I also got my first Hate-Tell the other day... though it wasn't much of a hate tell, I snuck up on an engineer using his turret and stabbed him twice. "You cold-hearted bitch!" he tells me I respond "Dude, I REALLY want the auraxium infused knife..." He replies "Yeah I know, It's pretty Pimpin'!"

Whenever there's a pile of dudes taking base after base, I like to stick landmines in route to where Sunderers would park. It's off the beaten path, so the main convoy can't spot it with their sometimes observant front tanks, and you get a full(er) Sunderer than if you put it right where they deploy.

Late Sunday we put up some new code and config changes that should have finally put a nail in this issue. I wanted to wait until we were through peak hours today, and it looks good. [B]Server performance:[/B] We are hoping the August update helps here, we have several tweaks that should improve things. Nothing earth-shattering, but it should start to look a bit better. It's going to be a point of emphasis from the Code guys for the next couple months. [B]August update[/B]: Right now we're still on target for Weds of this week. The build has a lot of nice things in it besides the Valkyrie, and I really want to get it to live to help overall quality. It includes a hitch fix, hit reg improvements, splash damage in the VR zone...and other good stuff. [B]25% member Depot discount[/B]: We had some marketplace data leak out that was unintentional. I could have pulled it down, but we figured you guys deserved something to go your way this weekend. [B]Directives progress getting lost: [/B]We think we have the fix for this. It'll be going up in the August update. If this weekend hadn't been so bad I would have tried to hotfix it today, but we just never had the time. The bad news is that we won't be able to grant the lost counts. I asked our BI group and they did a bunch of investigating but there's no way to run a query to sort it out. We're really sorry about it, and apologize for the resets. [B]Overall game quality:[/B] We know the game isn't in great shape right now in certain areas, so there's a meeting this afternoon about moving some features out a bit, and focusing on performance and bug fixes for September. I'll update you on that later. [B]Roadmap:[/B] We're in the process of updating it now and should have something soon.[/QUOTE] They be fixin' shit

I think there was double exp on miller unannounced. [t]http://i.imgur.com/8jGPiX2.jpg[/t] Shame theirs no details on it, wouldve planned my day otherwise around it.

I always get super hyped to play this game every now and then, thinking about trips behind enemy lines as infil or strafing ground targets in my reaver and listening to the delightful popopopop of my rockets. And then I start trying to update the game. I swear, the PS2 downloader eats literally every last scrap of bandwidth on our home network because it makes it impossible to do anything else

Hoooly shit I got the Banshee on my mosquito and fuck me it's awesome Also, why does the lightning have no unique cosmetics you've got lumifiber, hood ornaments and lighting and that's yer lot Higby pls :(

Valk is live soon then?

Now all we need is a official music system made by SOE for Planetside 2 so we can mount speakers on our vehicles to blast some music/themes.

[video=youtube;lA-iag83kQc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lA-iag83kQc[/video] Yes please full scale Crown assault with this blasting

[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;45804654]Now all we need is a official music system made by SOE for Planetside 2 so we can mount speakers on our vehicles to blast some music/themes.[/QUOTE] £30 external sound card and/or Virtual Audio Cables. Makes you able to use a mic and play music at the same time. People often get surprised when they start complaining about soundboards or music when I pause it and start talking and then take to it more lightly. I've held a fair few raves in VS Warpgates.

But one option costs cash and both can get you banned, a official system implemented by SOE would be great.

August update tomorrow!

who's up for a round of broken update bingo?
