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

So close to getting my Auraxium lumifiber trim for the flash. I haven't seen one with it yet, so I will feel like a special man. [editline]21st October 2014[/editline] Oh wow, apparently only 30 people have unlocked the Auraxium Flash? I'm a legend. Get outa my way, peasant idiots.

I run the Basilisk on my Flash and go after damaged vehicles and snipe infantry. Works well enough for what it is. Now that I have a better computer I should try the Fury though. Trying to use an automatic grenade launcher at 17 FPS is not fun.

If you've gotten used to killing infantry with a basilisk, the kobalt will almost feel like cheating. The fury is not the beast it once was. It just feels a bit too niche for me now. It's still good, to be sure, but it is somewhat difficult to aim, and underwhelming against single targets in many scenarios. Where it shines is against groups of tightly clustered enemies on hillsides that you couldn't otherwise safely blitz through with the renegade. Basically, the masses of folks squatting behind rocks because they're pinned down. In more open areas, I'd take the kobalt or renegade any day.

100 certs isn't much, I'm just worried about being able to do literally nothing to vehicles. the Basilisk can atleast peck away at injured targets.

Well, you'll still be able to put some hurt on other Flashes and Harassers, which are your biggest contenders anyway. The kobalt is actually pretty gnarly against harassers. And for tanks? You might not be able to kill the machine, but your cloak makes it pretty darn satisfying to stalk a smoking one until the operator gets out and tries repairing it. I've even taken out a handful of ESF's by following them to their landing sites. The Fury can put some light damage on heavy vehicles, but not enough to really be effective, in my opinion. The Flash is just too vulnerable to be a real threat against anything other than infantry, Flashes, and Harassers (though never try to 1v1 a harasser unless it's already taken some heavy damage, or if you can shoot the gunner out of the rumble seat while he's trying to repair). The possible exception? Flash squads. I think it's finally their time.

I actually run scout radar on mine. I suppose I should try wraith cloaking and kobalt.

It's wraith or nothing, for a combat flash. Wraith, nanite repair, and the bull horn hood ornament are undebateable necessities. [editline]21st October 2014[/editline] The cowboy hat helmet couldn't hurt, either. [editline]21st October 2014[/editline] Yippee ki yay, motherfucker.

So it looks like I won't be able to play Planetside 2 until this 4-404 error sorts itself out or I reinstall the entire game

Good to see you have footage of AOD's usual business heading to attack 1-12 enemy bases.

[QUOTE=Saber15;46298009]That's TE :v:[/QUOTE] Same shit.

Eh, that was just a jab at AOD's brilliant tactics. Like this one. [t]http://i.imgur.com/RwAx1bn.jpg[/t] Anyways should I get the 2nd burster for max, despite the fact that... [img]http://i.imgur.com/KhM9QkP.png[/img]

Doesn't really matter if you barely use a MAX, the second burster is insanely useful to have on hand for when you do need it.

Yeeha. Finally got to stretch my legs on the new Flash. 147:41, ~33000 exp in an hour and forty-five minutes! That was wicked fun. [I]Too[/I] fun. Anybody who isn't driving a Flash yet is missing out a roaring good time. It's intense. [editline]21st October 2014[/editline] Proudest moment: tore ass into a big group of enemies with my renegade. Only got, like, one roadkill, and was about to slam into a rock. I figured I was a fucked, because that's the kind of situation you get fucked in. In a last-ditch effort, I jumped off,. My driverless Flash catapulted over the rock, but everybody seems to think I'm still on the damn thing. They follow the Flash and start shooting at it, and I go on a goddamn killing spree with my SMG, pistol, and knife. Got 11 kills outa that. I don't like to use the word "hero," but...

They have 0 coordination

I tried the anniversary bundle on PTS, there's a prowler horn that toots which also fires some confetti around. please take all my money.

When I booted up Steam today, it told me I have to install a 10gb patch. There is nothing in the patch notes. Anybody else seeing this?

[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;46315126]When I booted up Steam today, it told me I have to install a 10gb patch. There is nothing in the patch notes. Anybody else seeing this?[/QUOTE] If Planetside 2's STEAM version works like other games with separate updaters (like War Thunder), then it's generally out of date for several months before they update it with the latest content. This is the reason why people say to never validate the game's files with STEAM - it's trying to validate your files, except STEAM's file are out of date, so in the end STEAM just will overwrite your shit with its old crap, and then you boot the game back up, and it then overwrites STEAM's old shit with the new shit.

Yep, mine is downloading 9.4gb

[URL]https://steamdb.info/app/218230/history/[/URL] SOE broke a thing regarding how Steam handles game updates. Because they have an older version of the game on Steam, Steam automatically downloaded the version it had because that is the "newest" it has. The launcher then checks and sees that the PS2 Steam version is outdated and off we go again, etc. It has already been fixed, so it won't happen again. In short, nothing has changed, SOE just did a whoopsie.

Finally got the last galactic pumpkin I needed, took god damn 2 weeks or something (Video as chances are, most people wont even see one) [video=youtube;Lpq0VRiVvsw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lpq0VRiVvsw[/video] And as I just absolutely couldnt resist, have some avatars from this gem: [video=youtube;oSFe_uuhmz4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSFe_uuhmz4[/video] [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4249868/facepunch/avatars/Planetside2/NC1.png[/t] [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4249868/facepunch/avatars/Planetside2/NC2.png[/t] [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4249868/facepunch/avatars/Planetside2/NC3.png[/t] [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4249868/facepunch/avatars/Planetside2/VS1.png[/t] [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4249868/facepunch/avatars/Planetside2/VS2.png[/t] Afraid I had to steal the TR one for myself.

[QUOTE=afromana;46364278]Any idea how much longer the event lasts? cause I'll be really annoyed if I'm missing the last two directives by one day[/QUOTE] If it doesn't end on Halloween night, it'll probably end by the Monday after.

Imo it'd be neat if they added a feature that allowed transport pilots to drop all non-gunner passengers at once with one keystroke.

They had that for the Galaxy in beta (or it was in the cert menu at least, don't know if they actually implemented it) but scrapped it for whatever reason.
