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

[QUOTE=Xenocidebot;41255764] never go to the official forums.[/QUOTE] So which forum should I go too? I'm thinking of joining the NC, instead of TR/vanu. So what are their specifal features, and are their guns good and accurate, high damage but low rof and high reload?

Who else enjoyed the blanket vehicle cosmetics sale?

[QUOTE=Toyokunari;41260806]I'm thinking of joining the NC, instead of TR/vanu. So what are their specifal features, and are their guns good and accurate, high damage but low rof and high reload?[/QUOTE] Everyone has good, accurate, high-damage weapons, the NC just has the [I]most[/I] accurate and high-damage variants, generally with some sort of associated penalty- they become inaccurate while moving, having nasty recoil, etc. NC's special features so far are excessive shotguns, guided weapons, and shields. The NC have a unique burst firing shotgun for heavies, four shotguns for their MAXes, a tank-mounted shotgun, and a fighter-mounted shotgun. Heavies and MAXes can also use guided rocket weapons. MAXes and Vanguards have access to a shield of limited durability to block incoming fire. The NC have this weird thing where they waft between being terrifyingly potent and hilariously impotent based on context. Shotguns are terrifying indoors but useless outside, guided rockets are great with cover but useless without it, shields are wonderful if used in groups and pathetic if used alone, that sort of thing. NC is harder to play than TR, but IMO more rewarding, you just have to organize and keep in mind that your equipment is less general-purpose than what the TR and VS have.

So, is it just on my end or are there no daily sales today? The reset timer is stuck displaying 00:00:00 and both sale boxes are empty.

I didn't expect SOE to let something that would help them make money fail

I'm slightly annoyed proximity chat isn't heard by enemies. I was sneaking up to people in a MAX suit totally undetected and doing the Jehovah's witness routine and felt like an absolute plonk when I found out no one could hear me

[QUOTE=Unmercy;41268863]I like my wraith cloaking, if i get spotted, hop on my power wheels and find a new vantage point.[/QUOTE] I mostly use the Wraith as well, but if I just need to get from point A to B as a non-Infiltrator while my Harasser is on cooldown, I take the turbo Flash.

[QUOTE=Saber15;41268950]I mostly use the Wraith as well, but if I just need to get from point A to B as a non-Infiltrator while my Harasser is on cooldown, I take the turbo Flash.[/QUOTE] Same, but I also use it to drive on the ceiling.

Since its release, the harasser is easily my favourite vehicle. AS long as you have a good gunner you can wreak. Took out 2 magriders and nearly a third solo(ish). I use the scrapper combat chassis and the reverse speed and breaks is great for confusing tanks.

[QUOTE=NoDachi;41270627]It used to be. Sigh, those were the days.[/QUOTE] Wait what the hell, when'd they change it?

Beta for certain, I'm not sure how far it survived past release. I guess they thought it was too much net traffic, but it sure was amusing. I remember seeing this vanguard crest a ridge line into a load of TR infantry yelling "I AM INVINCIBLE. NO ONE CAN DEFEAT MEEEEEE" Then a rock whooshed into him "OW OW OWWWW I'M SO SOOOOOORY"

I can't take the framerate on this game anymore. Wake me when the optimisation is brought.

just bought the TMG-50. Good decision Y/N? Can't seem to hit shit with it, might be as well because today was really laggy for me. Gonna see tomorrow how well I do with it. What attachements would you guys recomend for this fine LMG?

Evidently you like long range guns, so all the aim-down-sight attachments.

Any TR sniper rifle that is as good or better than the M77-B? I hate semi-auto ones, or at least the ones that takes more than 1 hit to kill on a headshot.

The cheapest bolt-action is 100 certs. I'd recommend against it for now, because I really don't see much utility in sniping. Unless you enjoy it, then you should buy it. I've heard that higher levels of nanoweave can stop bolt-action headshots from killing outright, though.

I love infiltrating, setting up in an inconspicuous spot and sniping people. I find it inadvertently also helps my team. Bit too much a bushwookie, but my pc is so shit right now I can't survive any close range firefight unless I got the major drop on them.

Oh, so I heard that unlocks were now account-wide and all that new stuff so I installed again and I lost all my unlocks. Oh well.

Highlights to some of the current plans, mostly regarding ESF's, here are a few interesting pieces. [QUOTE][B]Lock-On Adjustments[/B] -All anti-air lock on weapons will become maintained on lock. The shooter must keep the target locked for the duration. -The closer a lock-on target is, the faster it will acquire a lock. -Lock-on missiles will travel faster -Lock-on missile lifespan will be reduced to around 5 seconds (down from 8 or 10 seconds depending on the weapon) -Players who lock-on to you and fire, will be spotted for you -The lock-on display will show a number indicating how many different sources are locking on to you -The lock-on display will indicate what type of weapon is locking/locked-on -Missiles that are locked-on to you will display on the mini-map -Lock-on indicator will display in third person camera [B]Experience Changes[/B] -Players will be awarded kills and assists for players that suicide or log out. -The kill will be awarded to the player who last inflicted damage, whether that damage was done to their vehicle or to the player themselves.

[QUOTE=Saber15;41282095]The RAMS .50M does more damage and has a faster bullet AFAIK. It's a thousand certs, though.[/QUOTE] Meh, I guess I can work for it. Or wait for a 3X certs event thingy to get it.

[QUOTE=Gen. Crumpets;41279587]I can't take the framerate on this game anymore. Wake me when the optimisation is brought.[/QUOTE] on this note, i'm wondering how the playstation 4 version is coming along.

Aw. I like my fire and forget launcher. Also damn the striker is going to be so much better now at AA than the regular AA launcher.

Welp, I guess this game requires you to be a member now. Want to get in the action of an alert with the rest of your platoon? Wait hours because you keep getting shoved farther in the queue. Don't want to wait? PAY US! Or capture empty bases for hours because everyone is on the same continent.

Snipers on the official forums have been bitching forever that their RAMS/Longshot/Parallax purchases were invalidated since they were advertised as "one shot" weapons and some 5% of total players don't die instantly. They're not left with much health if it was one of the larger rifles (100 to 150 up close, more farther out), but it's more than two shots from a handgun with any amount of dropoff so it generally requires a followup shot. That wouldn't be a problem for snipers who can aim, but "snipers who can aim" is an oxymoron in gaming. What makes it a hoot is baiting the shot as a VS HA doing anti-vehicle work. I hear ping, coward hears [I]SCIENCE[/I]. Alternatively, if you're NC, hear ping, hide behind bush, coward hears [I]screeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEE[/I]. Terrans need not apply for anti-sniper trolling.
