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

Following up on my refund request: [IMG]http://i.cubeupload.com/K7OD84.png[/IMG] Wow, well first I received an automated message asking for more detail and before I could get home I already got a second one which refunded my 700 station cash and also allowed me to keep the Trap-M1. I honestly didn't expect such a good response. Good job SOE. [QUOTE=jiggu;45828119]You need to realize that the people that instagib you have several hundred hours in their respective ESF. Reaver is far from underpowered, and air is overall really balanced against eachother right now. So yeah, you're godawful, but it gets better.[/QUOTE] The reaver is at quite the disadvantage if you use its shotgun for dogfighting, unless you can close the distance quickly.

It's really fun to use though and it's better at air combat than the other two AI weps.

I bought the breakers a while ago and spend most of my time doing CAS strafing runs with the rockets... however it seems the new rockets that have a higher ROF might actually be better for this tactic. I need more certs ._. also, should I bother getting one of the airframes, and is it worth keeping flares? A lot of people seem to support getting the extinguisher instead

With good accuracy you should use the Vortek Rotary, for wing-mounts you can use fuel pods for better mobility or coyotes or or tomcats for dogfighting. For anti-ground you can use breaker rockets for general all-purpose or hornets for a quick burst damage. For airframe I suggest going with hover airframe, it's good overall and best on the reaver. Dogfighting airframe is useless and racer isn't really much point in as mossies will still outrun you. Get one rank of flares and stick to that until you're rich. Fire suppression is good for dogfighting but will cost you a lot.

Thanks for the loads of advice here guys, way better than getting it from the SOE forums

I didn't know you could as for a refund? So far I've been pretty happy with what I bought though.

[QUOTE=Xuerian;45829031]Everyone gets one courtesy refund.

I'm guessing she said "you may only get one" in case I ever do purchase something by accident. Or maybe simply being nice payed off :v: [editline]29th August 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=scratch (nl);45829130]I didn't know you could as for a refund?

August update "confirmed" for Friday 6 AM PDT. dont break my fargile heart SOE

A lot of people seem to support getting the extinguisher instead[/QUOTE] starting out at dogfighting, I'd recommend sticking with the default gun and getting hover airframe (it allows you to do the reverse-thrust maneuver far better). Most people will tell you to get flares and fire suppression, and those are pretty much one of the best choices (also fire suppresion and auto repair work fantastically in combination). I run a personal favorite loadout though, my mossie has armor and an air radar. The flak armor is good since everyone [I]always[/I] tries to take potshots at ESF's and the air radar displays enemy aircraft on your HUD and minimap, so it's great for dogfighting because you immediately know how to set your bank. I have a rotary on my gun and lolpods on the wings, since the rotary is generally a needler except it pays off having balls in a brawl but still does good damage in range. If you like getting up close, then in your case just take that airhammer since it does the same but better. Lolpods are just lolpods, not much to go over here.

So I'm just dicking around with the Reaver on Connery as NC having fun strafing ground targets and picking off any solitary ESF's that try to get our sundies etc etc usual digs. Then someone in command chat says there is an Air Raid departing from Warp Gate shortly so I haul ass back to the warpgate to see a massive Libby swarm heading out. I put myself near the back lower part of the cloud so I can screen for any ESFs coming (a few tried but it was suicide with the half-dozen reavers flying around and the crossfire from all the libbys). We reach a contested point and things start heating up, loads of Scythes everywhere I'm diving and weaving between Liberators (even using some of the fat bastards to absorb fire meant for me :v:) when all the sudden I get this horrible loading lag where everything moves in skips and jumps. It was worse than I've ever had it before, so to prepare for the inevitable freeze I point my reaver away from the swarm, mash afterburner and hope for the best. I froze and came back to see my Reaver crash into a tree. welp time to take a break

They've denied me in the past over accidental stuff because I had already used mine. [editline]29th August 2014[/editline] They should have your first ESF to the tree- death show a "Welcome to Planetside" on the death screen

-snip i was wrong-

Servers are up, Valkyrie is live.

So it begins.

Higby pls in 3-4 hours git hype be there or be a PPA spammer scum

anyone whos NC on Connery want to fly a Valk or be gunner? Rea lly want to take one of these for a spin and I do not trust pubbies [editline]29th August 2014[/editline] and it seems SC is broken and there's an FPS problem on some clients. However, once SC is fixed I NEED THAT RIDE OF THE VALKYRIES HORN SO BAD add paindoc on planetside or steam if you're NC on connery and want to party [editline]29th August 2014[/editline] the valk has about the durability of fresh paper-mache it seems

Like, its not even good at what it says its supposed to be good at. [editline]29th August 2014[/editline] I will say this thought about it, in CAS runs its a dream in Hossin and comes in handy against ambushes inside the trees.

If you bind buttons to pitch up and down, dogfighting airframe can be fucking great. At least it is for the mossy, not sure for the reaver.

Dual wielding for Light Assaults shot down New MBT main cannons coming somewhat soon, quad gun with constant reloading for TR, probably the massive gauss cannon for NC, "spiky dildo thingy" for VS(higby's words) New secondary MBT weapons coming, with more power than the current ones New buggies coming, heavier than harasser, 4man, empire-specific abilities, will use the new secondary MBT guns as well as old, ZOE for the TR one and hoverbuggie for VS New sights probably coming next large update New Striker on PTS early next week more stuff that I forgot

Magical Girl TR [t]http://i.imgur.com/nrjyB71.jpg[/t] Friends made a cosplay of TR for a convention, this is one of them.

Word of advice, don't check the map in a Valkyrie, it freezes the game for some reason. Also, did they update base layouts in the update?

oh and apparently they want to add heavy battle tanks that have a dedicated driver and a dedicated gunner TR is gonna be stronk if that happens.

[QUOTE=paindoc;45842905]oh and apparently they want to add heavy battle tanks that have a dedicated driver and a dedicated gunner TR is gonna be stronk if that happens.[/QUOTE] Why TR? The Colossus (heavy tank they have planned) will be common pool.

[QUOTE=Jimesu_Evil;45844779]Why TR? The Colossus (heavy tank they have planned) will be common pool.[/QUOTE] I wish each faction had their own version to be honest, this common pool stuff is getting reaaally annoying.

[QUOTE=Swilly;45844830]I wish each faction had their own version to be honest, this common pool stuff is getting reaaally annoying.[/QUOTE] Empire specific stuff effectively triples the amount of work SOE has to do, which is why we're seeing lots of common pool stuff as of late.
