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

If anyone on Waterson is playing tonight as TR, feel free to invite me to a squad or something. My IGN is Zeyonious <:

Anyone here with the Connery NC? name is targetdrone13

[QUOTE=gudman;40761984]We had a battle like that on Cobalt some time ago. We (NC) were pushing to break the stalemate at VS borders to break their lock over Indar. Then our outfit leaders made a truce with local TR groups that were nearby (because apparently, some TR outfits still tried to bit NC territory off from the north), everything came in motion (seriously, I've never been so happy to see the enemy when TR cavalry came to rescue our platoon from being spawn camped over Ayani Labs). Than we pushed, pushed, pused and came to a stalemate from Leopardwood (NC) over Highlands sub. Meanwhile, TR came to a stalemate at Ceres biotech. And then... simply impossible. 34% VS pop crumped into two stations, with large forces attacking them, Highlands also being laid out kind of unfairly, cap-point being in small enclosed area right BEHIND the enemy spawn room from attackers' prespective, impossible to take. Also, server began to melt. Unexlopded grenades everywhere, engineers and medics tools not working, ammo not resupplying, horrible render inconsitencies, hitreg going crazy. So I can kind of see why Mattherson TR is being bitter (they cry on official forums), you can not cap something when entire enemy pop is cramped into a single base. [editline]24th May 2013[/editline] Awwww yeaaah I can see myself playing this weekend. Shit on Indar's gonna be fucking insane.[/QUOTE] We nearly pushed VS off indar again this morning. Problem was that the TR went as far as we could and the NC couldn't take the final base since they owned Peris. So TR was stuck just right outside the final base waiting for the NC to do something which they never did. Then everything fell apart since BWC ops was over with.

Is the double XP weekend live right now? Or later tonight?

I wonder when the closed versions of those new helmets will be out. I don't think anyone really gives a shit about these goofy looking open ones.

1000 certs today this will do

Defending camp connery on matherson 154 certs in 30 minutes :D I love when all of TE decides to clump in the area right below the spawn room so I can cloak out [I]every time[/I] as an infil, drop 2 mines, and proceed to earn all 5 ribbons and dozens of kills over and over in the span of about 10-15 minutes.

Does the aegis shield work with c4? Cause I'm fed up with light assaults getting in my face and running circles without me being able to do anything because of the broken hitboxes when flying and the de-centered max weapons. Can't even run away because the blast radius is so fucking huge. Everytime I hear someone complain that the c4 has a small delay I feel like choking them

Then you live and use your glorious scattercannons to clean up the entire room.

I'm surprised C4 would stick to the shield. In any case, I can't imagine it would last long against things shooting at you.

I still haven't met a TR MAX using lockdown, SOE made that ability shit or what? on another note, the aegis shield is pretty cool if you use it wisely. I only have it level one and it can absorb two heavy assault rockets before going down. Considering the first level is 20% capacity and each level adds another +20% it increase survivability by a lot. They just need to increase it's size so people stop exploiting the tiny unprotected head hitbox bit.

So I'm reinstalling this, whats the lattice update thing? What does it do, and is it good?

[QUOTE=BlackRainbow;40773907]If you play as NC MAX, you deserve to be C4'd :dance:[/QUOTE] Meh, VS Maxes are new hackmaxes. Wouldn't say they're so OP, but motherfucker they're fast. And overused. I've seen shit tonight on Woodman. Endless MAX crush - everywhere, everywhere, if there's VS, there're dozens of MAXes. Biolabas - fuck no, only NC scatmaxes can crush through that wall of ZOEMAXes. Basically, I logged off that char and gone with my NC on Cobalt for the rest of the night. It's very true that Cobalt NC is shit - we were barely defending against VS, until their and TR pop dropped below 25 each. Then we started "winning". Still had my fun, was sitting on 1k certs, spent 500 on upgrading my medic to be actually helpful. In two hours, 1k certs again. [editline]25th May 2013[/editline] Also, latest FNO presented a sneak peek: [quote]FNO highlighted work in progress on bases and outpost both to incorporate Dome shielding and walls similar to the Alpha Bases[/quote] [img]http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y436/HadesVR/walledbases3_zps7dccf17d.png[/img] I like, more infantry fights in an actual defencible environment, with cover and shit.

[QUOTE=Anthracite;40774118]I still haven't met a TR MAX using lockdown, SOE made that ability shit or what?[/QUOTE] You probably haven't noticed, we don't get pink overlays like VS I use it but I don't think it's worth it right now, it'll get you killed more than it will help you kill stuff most of the times. The way it throws off your aim while deploying means you can't use it on the go and have to waste precious time you could be using shooting at people without becoming a sitting duck. It's only useful with fractures, and bursters against stupid pilots Kind of like the NC ability, it requires some teamwork to use properly unlike the VS one

[QUOTE=Araknid;40774150]So I'm reinstalling this, whats the lattice update thing? What does it do, and is it good?[/QUOTE] It's... debatable, I guess, guys in platoon I was in tonight couldn't stop arguing about the thing. One of the soldiers said it's just "zerg VS zerg" now, and there're some merit to these words. When bases are as defencible as they are now, you can't win against overwhelming force, so who has the largest zerg, wins in any given direction. At the same time, it adds much needed predictability, that's what our Platoon lead was saying. It allows to say exactly where enemy forces on any given direction are going to move and how far can they go. Were're the forks, were we can intercept the zerg, how we can cut it off. There're always more than one lane that allows the enemy to go deep into your territory, so leads have to split their forces wisely. I am personally on the fence about this one. I wanted to see lattice, but PTS being ghost town most of the time haven't really let me experience it. Now, I'm inclined to say that I welcome this addition, but wish they worked a bit more on the implementation. Two things are certain, it provides what this game was advertised as - large battles on epic scale; and it makes good commanders, who can effectively predict enemy movements, more valuable.

VS just won an alert on Indar Mattherson, by 1% territory advantage, ten seconds before TR would have capped a base and won it. I bet they're so mad :v:

I just destroyed an outfit! Yesterday there was a man prancing around [I]singing[/I] in the TR warpgate, another guy was chasing him around, raging and threatening him, telling him to step out of the shield and 'face him like a man'. It was a sorry sight, and I needed to end it. After failing to make the still-singing-prettily guy step through the shield, he tried to make him go through the teleporter that leads to a tower outside the shield. I got in a MAX and told Mr Rage to follow me through the teleporter. I went in and turned around, he appeared and I filled him with bullets. I had just joined a new outfit that night, Incendiary Wombats. Mr Rage respawns and starts screaming and ranting like hell about my outfit and how he was the leader of 'Nightrage' and how great they are and that we made a strong enemy... I just hopped on a Flash and went to rejoin my squad. When I joined teamspeak today I heard my outfit saying something about Nightrage and teamkill orders against my outfit. It turns out Mr Rage (aka Doogie187) ordered his outfit to kill us on sight. The rest of their leadership didn't like this and their outfit has broken apart! Whoops! The fateful killboard entry.

fucks sake this is so god damn bullshit.

Incendiary Wombats are cool dudes and you should consider joining them if you are Briggs TR and like closely coordinated platoon action.

[QUOTE=gudman;40774204]picture[/QUOTE] holy shit trees on Esamir!

The new Esamir bases look fucking incredible. -All outposts are walled in -All bases have dome shields over "Infantry Only" areas -Shields block all projectiles (bullets, rockets, flak etc.), but players and air vehicles can still pass through -The area between the spawn room and main building at the tech plant is now almost completely walled off and shielded, no more parking 50 tanks between the spawn and the control point to guarantee victory -Lots of infantry cover added to Amp Station courtyards -Plenty of cover added between buildings at outposts as well, lots of chokepoints -Sunderers cannot park right next to the control point -Walls around spawn buildings add even more protection -Once Amerish is done, [i]another[/i] pass will be made to Indar with these new changes [url]http://www.twitch.tv/planetside2/c/2329378[/url] Starts around 1:20:00.

They would be better off making these changes on Indar first. It needs it the most since lattice introduction. Since it's already a tradition that Indar is a proving ground (in nature, if I remember correctly, it itself was more or less a terrain test), why not concentrate on it. Then, if it proves worthwile, implement it on Esamir and Amerish. Better yet, they can work on everything at the same time, but I guess their team is kinda limited. New page, so I'll quote Jimesu's post here so everyone can see it.
