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

[QUOTE=NoDachi;40699750]yes[/QUOTE] I bought it with SC and then I realized it was only 500 certs, I just bought the sauron for 1000 certs I could've easily gathered another 500 goddammit

[QUOTE=alexojm;40698650]Well considering the talk of how much classes can do what do you think about the infiltrator. I would say that class is the other way around. Anybody got any ideas for what they could do to make the class more interesting. Any new tools or abilities to make it more infiltrator orientated game play.[/QUOTE] Well I main as infil. The biggest problem with infils is that they lack the utility and certgain the other classes get. Fact of the matter is, in order to do anything decent as an infil you need to be very good with sniper/scout rifles and using your cloak ability smartly. Their actual abilities as an infiltrator suck (especially since cloak is weakest when operating at close range), and it wasn't until the SMG came around that they could actually be worth much in close range unless you were a great shot with the nyx. Lets compaire this to medic. Medic's get pretty great all-purpose assault rifle weapons from the get go that doesn't require you to buy multiple weapons to fill a role or to get away from a sub-par default gun, can heal (which gives around 50xp for a full heal), revive (75xp, not including any healing you do), and do an AoE heal which also gets you XP. On top of that they get C4(??) and every useful grenade you could ever want. EVERYTHING they do gets boosted even higher if you work with a squad. Squad revives get you MORE XP than a basic kill, something medics do really well as well. Meanwhile, the infiltrator can only get XP from kills, which is partially their point, but their killing power per minute isn't anything bigger than any other class so for all intents and purposes their XP gain is the same to other classes in this reguard. Except, their abilities net awful XP. You get a grand total of 25xp per hack, and you can only hack so many things in the same area before you stop getting XP rewards for it (about 5-6, I think?). Sometimes that hack ends up winning the base for your faction if you pull a sundy, but you get NO bonus xp for any allies using your hacked term, no assiting XP, nothing.... just a meager 25. On top of that, the only things you can hack are terms and turrets, things that are useful to hack only if it gets sundies or tanks for your squad. There's NOTHING else to hack like in PS1. In PS1 you could hack spawntubes, you could hack equipment lockers, you could hack doors, etc. Why can't I hack "doors" in PS2 (maybe shileds, for a very small amount of time since there are no doors in PS2... maybe there should be?), or hack unattended vehicles? Or hack teleporters? or the jump pads? Hell, how about being able to hack a console that temporarily jams spawning for the base you are atttacking for 60 seconds? There is so much potential for hackables and almost none of it is being used. Finally, there is hardly anything worth certing into for the class itself. Medics get stuff that directly improves their ability to earn more XP and do their many roles better, while the infil gets hardly anything except slightly faster hack times and slightly faster cloak recharge. The recon gun is totally useless and gets no XP, the jammer grenade is totally useless and gets you no XP, and the EMP grenade is only somewhat useful and gets you no XP... and that's about it! Congrats, you've max'd out infiltrator. The ONLY things that infils can cert into that is actually really good is the AP mine. An excellent tool and a worthy investment, it's just a shame that's literally the only thing that adds utility and enhances the class and gives you a way to better earn XP in the entire cert tree of infil. I'm glad they are deciding to focus on Infils next big update (GU10) instead of LA's because they need it bad. The only reason why I still stick with the class is because I love uisng my nyx, and I can't stand not being able to cloak to get around, and the AP mines. There's nothing in there to make me want to actually infiltrate, especially since I don't get any real XP for doing anything with the class except laying mines and killing dudeds with my nyx, smg, or bolt action (if its long range).

[QUOTE=jiggu;40699335]Actually they tried to run through it [/QUOTE] Actually they try to stand so they can shoot out the door at a particlar angle and end up standing still in the firing line of my lasher.

Anyways some random thought they were going to make VS MAXes fly, now they already DO look like butterflies with composite armor but imagine fucking flying VS MAXes that would be so brutal.

Great video for LA [video=youtube;y2ccnaJ1QIE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2ccnaJ1QIE[/video]

Suddenly i want to play as LA.

Too bad my certed LA is on my TR char.

I wish infiltrators had some sort of sticky emp grenade that can temporarily disable vehicles Imagine hitting an ESF mid air and watch it crash into the ground

[QUOTE=jiggu;40700907]Great video for LA [video=youtube;y2ccnaJ1QIE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2ccnaJ1QIE[/video][/QUOTE] All those NC are unobservant as hell.

[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;40701087]Suddenly i want to play as LA.[/QUOTE] Try it out, it's awesome. Cert C4 out of course. LA is my favorite class, it's awesome to be effective against anything on the ground. MAX? C4. Unexpected tank? C4. Large group of bunched up infantry? C4. Lone heavy/two supports? No problem at all. Though lately I play more as medic. Because of two reasons: I mainly play in various outfit platoons and feel very-very useless when my battle brothers are butchered, and SOE decided to fuck my favorite weapon up (Jaguar, because apparently it was overused; of course it fucking was, it was the only TR carbine worth using for both close and medium range). Also it's is the best way to farm certs from both enemies and allies, so I only play medic on my NC char, to farm my way up from BR1 to thousands of certs.

I always just used my AMC.

The AMC isn't as powerful up close. It's slower firing and made for aiming down the sights. Still, since things die so quickly in general, you probably wouldn't notice too much of a performance downgrade using it over the faster firing variants - they're all pretty decent overall.

I've been using the Lynx since before the Jaguar was released; are the differences noticeable at all?

Just noticed on test server, the timer to redeploy to warpgate is now instant. Neat.

[QUOTE=Jimesu_Evil;40708090]Just noticed on test server, the timer to redeploy to warpgate is now instant. Neat.[/QUOTE] oh yes I can now be a better ESF bailure

[QUOTE=Jimesu_Evil;40708090]Just noticed on test server, the timer to redeploy to warpgate is now instant. Neat.[/QUOTE] I hope it isn't a bug. It sucks when you have to go to the warpgate within X seconds to get into a gal drop but miss it because of the long redeploy timer(the 10 second button and the time waiting for the location to become available). [editline]20th May 2013[/editline] When exactly do they plan on launching the new update? I know it's somewhere this week but not which day.

Can't find this game fun anymore. 90% of base attacks and defenses just end up in spawn room camping, i can't find it worth it to go through all that boring pointless shit to get to the ~10% where it's not that

Also, today is Planetsides 10th Anniversary, no clue what they are doing but it could be the hour long sale that was found in the launchpad billboard files.

Anyone know by how much your armor is reduced in ZOE?

[QUOTE=jiggu;40711771]Anyone know by how much your armor is reduced in ZOE?[/QUOTE] The calculation is odd. it reduces your resistance by %20 Now all max units have a natural %80 resistance to bullets and with this it goes down to %60. Meaning if you get shot by a 200 Damage bullet you would normally only take 40 but now you take 80. Oh and did i mention that thanks to the damage boost if you are using dual Quasars at max rank ZOE (thats 1000 certs for rank 5 alone taking a grand total of 2400 to get there) it will take you one less bullet to kill an infantryman. And that's only if you max it out and assuming every shot lands. Oh and they removed the buff to sprinting speed so now you only jog faster but sprint as fast as every other MAX.
