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

Ugh, this game is fucking awful on a morning, at least on Miller. Nothing but 2-3 TR or NC platoons taking whatever they can before anybody logs on. Bloody impossible to fight against.

for fucks sake SOE buff the fucking base turrets they're utterly worthless we need them buffed for when the TR and VS start teaming up on Miller

[QUOTE=Lambda 217;40838829]what if we could cert our drop pod so that it explodes five seconds after landing[/QUOTE] i think drop pods would be cool things to cert like a small gun you could attach to the side to try and attack things on the ground or faster movement while it descends

what if we could get rid of steerable drop pods entirely so people don't get a free pass to get anywhere they want undermining the only perk of light assaults (and galaxies), not to mention how they are free to drop in the middle of a zerg and do damage because drop pods both act like shields and infantry doesn't render for a few seconds after landing Honestly, I die a little inside everytime there's an enemy drop pod landing right on top of an enemy sunderer and I can do nothing but stare at it for seconds waiting for the guy to render while he calmly drops his c4. At least it's not as bad as when people used tank mines to do that but come on

I just discovered a while ago biolabs spawn MAX repair farming pretty hilarious to be the MAX and just stand right in front, fucking around taking all the shots and just chilling

[QUOTE=Lambda 217;40838829]what if we could cert our drop pod so that it explodes five seconds after landing[/QUOTE] is that one of the new gun redesigns for the VS?

so I decided to play ps2 again I logged in and I see this [t]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14742854/ShareX/2013-05/2013-05-30_14-48-10.png[/t] did the certs reset or something?

Squad drop pods would be fantastic.

The Squad boosts were always 6 months, but again, they adjusted the boost from a meaningless 10% bonus to a 50% one.

And 80% of the time I drop on top of a mountain miles from where the action takes place or in the middle of an enemy army. [editline]30th May 2013[/editline] Oh and I saw this in the SOE forums: [url]https://forums.station.sony.com/ps2/index.php?threads/july-improved-vehicle-deconstruction.83050/[/url] How the fuck do you deconstruct a vehicle??? I didn't even know it was possible!

it was possible but it isn't anymore. You would do it by opening the vehicle management menu and choose deconstruct.

Sucks, sometimes I fuck up my landing with a galaxy or something and it gets stuck, then I have to wait 20 minutes for the thing to disappear, if nobody is stupid enough to stay inside.

And just imagine that crybaby MAX who starts weeping hysterically when he realizes he may have to trudge 500 meters to get somewhere because everyone is fighting over where the droppod lands.

I see people abusing them all the time, especially on towers they drop beacons behind barriers where you have absolutely no chance to destroy them and then redeploy and drop pod right on top of deployed sunderers. Assuming you actually see it coming down you still have to deal with the fact that you have no idea from which side he's going to come out and he's already placing c4 in the meantime

I kind of wish they would slow down drop pods by making a spaceship spawn zone. Then you'd have time to equip things or plan with your squad and others, and dropping in would be slowed down by a short walk. Also it'd be cool. [editline]30th May 2013[/editline] Oh my god they should make drop pod six packs just like soda six packs.

can't believe people are still complaining about scatmaxes when VS maxes are basically blenders that move at mach 10 right now

[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;40844503]can't believe people are still complaining about scatmaxes when VS maxes are basically blenders that move at mach 10 right now[/QUOTE] Scatmaxes were only ever OP in biolabs anyway. ZOE MAXes have basically replaced VS infantry right now.

[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;40844503]can't believe people are still complaining about scatmaxes when VS maxes are basically blenders that move at mach 10 right now[/QUOTE] I never got the obsession of crying about scatmaxes. On any toon I play, if I turn a corner and see a max that's looking my direction within 20 meters, I'm most likely gonna die. They kinda suck at mid range.

Yay for more cool stuff I'll never get to use past a trial because it's so expensive.

The old scattermaxes cut down another MAX in about a second at close range. Additionally, infantry out to 30 meters were dead instantly. They were overpowered everywhere, they were just in large numbers at biolabs because it was a large indoor area with big populations fighting. Now they take a good amount of damage at close range fighting with other MAXs, and infantry have enough time to potentially survive after shooting a rocket at them if they run. I think the big NC MAX nerf was very good. I haven't gotten to play since MAX abilities came out, so I can't say anything about the new VS ones.

[QUOTE=Talishmar;40845042]Yay for more cool stuff I'll never get to use past a trial because it's so expensive.[/QUOTE] Sony has a couple games they use SC for wait until one of them has a 2x sale, then wait for the thing you want to go on sale in-game instead of a 1000 cert gun being $7.00, it turns into $1.75, which is definitely worth the time

Squad drop pods could actually work. each member gets a little prompt that they can f1(accept) or f2(decline) the pod, and the squad leader aims the pod as it falls.

[del]There were squad drop pods in beta, it didn't work so well because an active squad was pretty much invincible even with a cooldown. At least with beacons you can destroy it and as long as the SL isn't in the area other members can't deploy on him.[/del] Oh, dropping an entire squad at once in a single pod. What would be the point, you can already have everyone deploy on Squad Leader at the same time. There's also Galaxies, which are a lot cooler and allow dropping anywhere anyway.
