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

[QUOTE=thisguy123;40711852]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.[/QUOTE] Assuming how it is on the server server right now is how it will be it is mighty fine, the movement there is still very useful and the damage is decent, it does depend though on how much easier it is for enemies to kill you with it(though you can turn it off if you see spikes of incoming damage). Also the Vortex on the test server are bugged atm and do a lot less damage than they do live.

Again at max level and it has to be fully certed to max rank and even then it takes ONE less bullet to kill a man that otherwise so if you don't max it the damage vs Infantry is nonexistent. Oh and the damage does NOT apply to Anti Vehicle weapons or any of the max weapons besides anti infantry.

But the NC max is still pretty rape. I'd rather we get jumpjets again...

You take double damage from infantry fire, which is still pretty shit. Enemy AI maxes will deal a lot of damage to you, but nothing else aside from swarms of infantry. For explosions you still have flak armor and AP rounds will still buttmongle you, I don't see how the armor reduction is that much of an issue. You're also wrong about it not applying to AV and AA weapons, ZOE applies on all weapons but it scales differently on each weapon(same as with lockdown to prevent AA being stupidly overpowered). As for the one-bullet on quasars, who cares? They still have a stupidly low TTK on infantry and ZOE shouldn't make it significantly lower.

You effectively become a slightly taller heavy assault and your health is near the same as a HA with his shields on while using ZoE.

[QUOTE=thisguy123;40713583]really boring[/QUOTE] Yeah being rooted in place is going to be buckets of fun instead I love being shot by rocket launchers

I find ZOE to be the best of the three, it's also the most visually badass one.

They could have at least made it Teal or actual purple. And something a little more interesting than the same effect the use for the HA shields (Just like I predicted) The Final Issue with the ZoE is that while lockdown and Agies have obvious uses. (I do not want to touch a Biolab with TR Lockdown Max's in it) The ZoE just makes me think of something you'd apply to your max much like nanoweave. It's basically All or nothing and even then the Bonuses I still find are lackluster (especially as the removed the sprint speed "bug") they may as well strip out the damage bonus for all the good it does. Now I think they should have given the VS max something akin to drifter jumpjets or magrider hover boots.

we all just got 6 months PS1 sub.

One thing I like is that it increases your dps without consuming more ammo. TR MAXes will run outta juice extremely quickly without an engineer babysitting them(though lockdown goes very well with engineers). On top of this Lockdowned TR MAXes lose a lot of accuracy due to their insane ROF, VS MAXes just gets a flat out damage buff without losing accuracy or ammo efficiency. But you're right, ZOE doesn't feel like something you want to use for a specific moment but more of a hurrdurr im pink and a little bit stronger.

whats zoe

Now I'm all for it not making the ZoE an "I win at anti air!" button but again the difference in DPS is much MUCH smaller than what people think it is, it's main power literally comes from your ability to get in close and run circles around the enemy dodging their fire so you can take advantage of close range. But that is pretty much EXACTLY what the light assult does anyway and the reason they said they didn't want to add the VS jumpjets back in was because it would "Make the light assault pointless" I don't think the concept was thought through well enough TBH

So I went to the 4chan PS2 thread. They claim there's a double SC sale on wizardrythegame.com , however it's not showing for me, bug logging in there gave me free 150SC. Also two other SOE sites for free 150SC each(assuming you haven't done this already) [URL]http://pastebin.com/ndvPHyJs[/URL] [editline]21st May 2013[/editline] [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9620264/Facepunch/1369065668429.jpg[/t]

Some Vanu-heavy server needs to merge with Waterson, it's always TR and NC slugging it out while Vanu kind of cries in the corner

[QUOTE=Pandamox;40718723]lulz and people try to say this game isn't declining in pop [/QUOTE] This merge had been talked about since the other servers were merged.

The population is actually pretty stable right now. Some people who "quit" are waiting for new features/continents to be added.

So, they gave [url=https://twitter.com/j_smedley/status/336693753014276096]6 months of PS1 to everyone that has ever played either PS1 or PS2[/url]. You can see your sub status [url=https://account.station.sony.com/authenticated/cam/subscriptionsInfo.action]here[/url] [SUB][SUP]at least I posted a source and a test link :v[/SUP][/SUB]

Im legitimately curious if they actually just gave PS1 sub time to see if it removed some of the nolstalgia for older vets. like they boot it back up and think "well this isn't as great as i remembered."

Squishing AA MAXes by landing your ESF on them is the best thing ever.

[QUOTE=Trainbike;40730801]Squishing AA MAXes by landing your ESF on them is the best thing ever.[/QUOTE] How on earth did I not think of doing that. But they can kill you so easily wont they of blown you up by the time you land on them. And if you do land on them you might be so low on health you blow up from the impact ?
