Anniversary stream reveals more on playermade bases complete with walls, base-turrets that can be upgraded to auto-fire, VP generators, bunkers, and more. Also, devs tweet about considering changing some bases to be standalone outposts off the lattice, like in PlanetSide 1. Yep, it only took 3 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_bolXNPH3I

Matte pink and bare metal camo coming soon. Second AE bundle for sale next weekend. Maybe.

You can now equip two boosts to farm even more.

In other news, the Halloween event is over. Snowmen soon™, though so get ready for MLG Wagons with shiny dildos on the front. Hope you got your useless Auraxium Slasher while you could, you special snowflake you.

Alright, so you generally need multiple for good effect? Guess bandolier is my next cert-line then.
So, I've been thinking. Overall factions should be pretty evenly distributed skill-wise, right? It is only logical. However it is apparently not the case with NKeks. Here is an example.
40% pop on Esamir a few days ago. You'd think NC would dominate the continent? Nope. Air around battlefields was filled with TR and Vanu aircrafts.
As soon as NC pulled a few ground vehicles (other than throwaway sunderers) they got instantly demolished. Perhaps someone would organize a group of reavers to counter air? Nope. I genuinely wondered where the fuck is NC and what they are doing. (It is a question that I regularly ask myself).
Turns out they keep pouring out of sunderers near enemy bases and get promptly slaughtered. Why is NC's behavior so different and disorganized? They can't ALL be deficient obviously?..
Well, I am part of NC and together with a buddy we pulled a walker sunderer and put it next to a single non-retarded NC in a vanguard who did a decent job at popping ESFs. Then two libs and several airshitters came at once. This happened after a swarm of these faggots chased our poor harasser across several bases.
Honestly, I am baffled. It is not possible for the majority of players on a single side to be so bad. Another example.
We pull a vanguard at crossroads and several hundred meters away get attacked by two lolpodders. NC pop at crossroads is 12-24. You'd think that at least one of them would be sitting in an AA turret? NOPE. However while flying a lib I can't cross a 1-12 base without some autists shooting flak in my direction. This is has been a joke between my friend and me for years now.
I know it sounds like an anecdote but this happens so consistently over the years of playing PS2 that you begin to genuinely believe it despite any logic.
>>125328647
Whatever happened to that one Amerish (I think) base that had that single colored window outcrop building thing? I remember people joked about it calling it the drive-through window but I can't find a screenshot of it. I hope someone knows what I'm talking about.

>1. NC
Generally fun guys, enjoy shooting mans and having a good time. Victory doesn't matter, what matters is the experience. General attitude is one conducive to ebin times online. Rated 5/5. Lovable idiot vibe.
>2. TR
A mixture between the two. Try hard scum exists to abuse things like the prowler/gatekeeper and will bitch out occasionally - but also some fun guys who enjoy ebin gimmicks. A middle of the road faction. Tries to win but can accept defeat so long as it's a fun fight.
>3. VS
Try-hard scum who should be genocided. Will ghost-cap continents always. Will zerg always. Will throw a bitch-fit in yell chat if upset. Will send hate tells if you so much as look at their scythe.

Weapons.
the battle rifle has ruined me
i have forgotten how to use a normal gun
>>125338692
High weapon KDR only means you don't die while holding that weapon. Did you kill some dudes, switch to your sidearm, launcher or medkit, then die with that out? Doesn't count against that weapon's K/D.
DA stats are silly.
huh? didn't think the sunderer weapons would actually have separate stats. DBG quality I guess
>>125338878
One for the front, one for the back. You've gotta buy them separately, they count as separate guns for all stats and attachments.

NC are disproportionately represented at the lower end of the ELO bell curve. Most NC you see are going to be worse than your average TR or VS player. In the graph, this is the sea of bads.
See image. If you're unfamiliar with ELO style measurement systems: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system
What we can guesstimate based on the data is that the NC hold a majority in suck, but also manage to hold their own in the islands of fun with VS.
Keep in mind that this graph is logarithmic - the islands of fun total ~ 8,000 players; while the entire sea of bads is ~100,000.
ELO style rating systems aren't perfect of course, but at least by this metric we can see that, yes, NC really do mostly suck at the game. We can also see VS dominate the very upper end of the curve, but this is around 10-20 people. Pretty much statistically meaningless to the rest.

NC lacks a 'zerg wrangler' outfits. On my VS and TR alts I've noticed there's always an outfit insuring big battles have several well placed sundys and armor/air support if needed.
This creates a nice environment for your average player to spawn into, so they're more likely to stick around and fight for that hex.
This pretty much never happens on my NC alt. Its always up to individuals to say 'ok fuck it' and then go pull a sundy or AA or w/e.
I'd be willing to set up an outfit that helps in this regard but the game is dead and I'd have to designate much more time to my NC alt.
>>125359735
NC never:
1. Brings in more than 1-2 sundies
2. Protects sundies with any anti-vehicle assets
3. Brings air
biggest failings of NC. They can almost fight well enough in infantry vs infantry, but most of NC can't figure out vehicles
>>125361019
Yeah, the NC in general never bothers with vehicles. It has the pop but it doesn't have a strong presence in the fight. Everyone prefers mindlessly running around as infantry.

Some sort of ELO ranking system.
tl;dr kill guys better than you, you rank up. Get killed by guys worse than you, you rank down. The bigger the difference in rating between the two, the greater the change in rating.
So if you farm a lot of bads, it doesn't do much to change your rating. But if you farm a bunch of good players who are all rated higher than you are, you'll rocket up.
Is there an updated/correct calendar of the christmas sales up anywhere? I remember hearing that the one I saw posted here was wrong.

No because it still has good enough hipfire for close ranges, but not having grip will make it useless while ADS.

The area between the bases is fun!

PS1 had a minimap that would separate and show you the layout of just the floor that you're on. Why can't we have that?
>>125380857
I reinstalled the game 3 months ago and when I drove a harasser I remember noticing it, so it's probably not that new. I don't remember if it was like that before though, because I rarely pulled harassers. And I think it works on sundies too. It helps when you're about to roll over.

Check a day from now and it won't be.
My biggest gripe with this guy's rating system is how easy it is to change your rating. My own swings wildly from 1750-1950 depending on how well I was playing that day.

>>125382713
You're slightly above average. Don't fret over it though, since higher ranking doesn't necessarily mean better player. Play to have fun and do whatever you feel like. I am at 1800-1900 and I've managed to go above 2000 only once when I did nothing but sit in a tank and farm randoms for an entire day(almost 0 deaths, so the rank could only rise). It didn't feel rewarding though. I have 700+ hours playtime and 95% of that is infantry. Just keep playing the way you like and buy weapons and ability upgrades. You don't need to learn how to use vehicles if you don't want to.

Did the game recently have some big change to cert costs for weapons? The pastebin and anything that comes up on google suggests to buy x weapon for 250 certs, though they all seem to cost over two times that in the store now.
>>125387023
it adds value to membership
>>125385807
FTFY
>>125387023
Yeah, they hightened the cert price substantially, and gave 1dbc discounts on them all(!). It's to try get members. At least it's much easier to get certs now though. I remember back in the early days the 1000 cert weapons felt like ones you had to pay to unlock more or less.
>>125387023
It's pretty much cert inflation in action. Newbies are getting an extra 1500 certs for doing nothing, and certs in general are much, much easier to rack up.

Literally one of the first things he explains.
>The rating deviation, RD, together with the rating represent the interval where the true skill of the player is. For example for a player with rating 1800 and RD of 100, we can be 95% confident that his real strength is in the interval from 1600 to 2000.
The sandnigger has so much of it because he seems to have suddenly gained an insane amount of points. That's probably a bug.

Fuck son I didn't read anything.

that site is meaningless, it's all about killing players ranked higher than you and not dying to people worse than you. if you're a cheese specialist that plays like a bitch you will be ranked high and still get prison raped by someone who can aim

I think just for one day, nobody should play any faction but Vanu, just everyone be Vanu. So then hopefully Sony or Daybreak or whatever the fuck they are called understand how much of a fucking awful decision it was to add a faction that prides itself in being better and then never nerf them under any fucking circumstances. Fucking horseshit. I-I'm done with this, I'm fucking done with this game. I'm tired every night, every fucking night, every fucking day the same bullshit. I'm done. I-it's ridiculous. No, a-a-a-and, and you know what? You know what? Vanu will always say "oh it's because you're bad" bull-fucking-shit. When I play Vanu, I do substantially better, substantially. There is no comparison. I think all heavy assaults should be given the same fucking guns, equalized, all stats, everything. Make them carbon fucking copies. That way I can never have to say "oh Vanu heavy assault is better."

I was too-ing and fro-ing about buying the first anniversary pack, the only one I didn't already have, and I finally decided that no, I wouldn't buy it.
And now I immediately regret it because I wanted the fucking heroic.
I've got the other packs so I won't be able to buy it again. Fuck.

pretty well established what the best guns are no matter what your IVI is, whether you're a subhuman with <1000 or average with ~2000
>>125391746
>Is it even possible to update it.
Not really, most weapons are back to 1000 certs like at launch, or if they're not 1000 they're 650 or some other unreasonable shit.
>>125388091
It turns out that what reddit and 4chan consider 'good' in this game means being one of the top 1000 or so players out of almost 200,000. Are you in the top 8000 players with only a 2 kdr? Well, you're a fucking shitter!
Frankly, it's fucking stupid, but it happens because fuckwits need to: 1. put down everyone else they consider inferior to them, inflating their own egos and making themselves look better to everyone else; 2. Use your 'shitter' status as a fallacy for why you shouldn't be listened to about ideas, or balance.
Ever see someone say, "well you only have a 30% HSR ratio, you're a shitter who doesn't know how to use any guns, so nobody should listen to you about betelgeuse balance"? Because I sure as hell have. When you see a lot of that bullshit, you get this idea that most people are running around with 40% headshot ratios, 2 kpm and a 6+ KDR
In reality there's only a couple hundred people out of hundreds of thousands who actually manage that.
Literally any particular players' stats could be criticized, and someone will label them a shitter. Anyone who goes around unironically calling others shit should just be ignored. They're usually just egotistical fuckwits.

If you get prison raped by someone who can aim, you'll drop in rank and that person will increase in rank.
If you think it's so easy, why aren't you at the very top of the leaderboard?
>>125392561
If it was ivi only, it would have some value. Now there are spawn room warrior bolt shitters and vehicle farmers at the top because they don't die to anyone. Is that skill?
>>125392246
What's it like being bad at video games?
>>125392561
You're missing the point, Planetside2 has so many ways to avoid having to demonstrate FPS proficiency. When I still played I was number one, two and three on my BR100 characters from sitting in a Liberator farming much better players than me while redeploying and not dying to them.

It seems to me that you jokers are like slippery eels, always moving the goalposts around.
>>125396520
what?
>>125395187
It's something like accuracy + headshot ratio or somesuch crap
It's absolutely worthless if it's using your total accuracy and HSR, because medic guns and engitools count as firing and missing when you use them, which means anyone who plays a lot of engineer or medic has terrible IVI.
And because infiltrator weapons are generally high damage and accuracy, they'll inflate your IVI score.
Whoever's going on about IVI being a great way of measuring skill is a fucking moron.
>>125393414
I don't think there's anything we can do. I'm pretty sure that the reason most people obsess over stats is because improving them is the only goal they can set in this meaningless game. That's DBGs fault, not yours.
When you realize that you have zero impact on the outcome of the battle and that it's all a matter of population instead of teamwork or individual skill, you lose all motivation to play. People need something to work for and to be rewarded for their effort. Planetside 2 might be unique, complex and beautiful but it's dying because there are very few things that make it feel rewarding. It's not that much the quality or the complexity of the game that makes players stick to it, as it is the challenge that it presents you with. CS: GO and DotA 2, the 2 games that literally everyone seems to play are very basic and simple but managed to become huge successes because climbing in rank is a very slow process.
What is there to do in Planetside 2 to feel rewarded? The only thing that makes you feel good is maybe to grind for the directives and get your rewards in the form of shiny armor. When you get those, the only thing that's left to do to feel good about yourself is to improve your stats. You don't need XP or guns or anything, since you've unlocked them already.

My advice, fight in smaller fights.
If you don't see your effect on a 12v12 then maybe you're not as good as you think.
Sure there's absolutely diddly-fuck you can do to influence two zergs clashing but in a small fight a good player can totally dictate the outcome of it and the best enjoyment can come from meeting another good player under those circumstances.
>>125398125
I almost added that in the post but I wasn't sure if people actually spend time trying to get others to hate them.
>>125397157
>And because infiltrator weapons are generally high damage and accuracy, they'll inflate your IVI score.
Infiltrator guns are unsanctioned weapons that aren't counted
>>125398625
That's what I spend most of my time doing
