>>140341395
Noob here. I went NC and I've spent all my welfare certs. I decided to main engineer, so I bought several levels of the repair tool, the GCS and the two grenade launchers, and some C4.
I fucked up, didn't I?
so I got some questions:
What is the best way to take down bases? AP? Rocketpods? Hornets? c4? tank mines?
Once you take down a VP gen, how does it decide where your faction's VP gen is?
What is the efficiency think on the map next to cores?
with all this added defense, what the game REALLY needs now isartillery ;^)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
>>140342413
you fucked up a good amount, should have asked here first.
GCS isn't good, grenade launchers are pretty useless, you should have stuck with the Merc.
C4 isn't very good on engy, generally you want tank mines instead, should have gotten it for LA.
only smart thing you did was up the rep tool. you should get it to max, as well as get probably flak armor
>>140342413
>so I bought several levels of the repair tool
Good
>the GCS
Questionable
>the two grenade launchers,
Not really good
>some C4.
Eh
Did you do the cert refund yet?
>>140342473
Best ways of taking down bases are C4 and HEAT
Supposedly, the devs were thinking the process goes like this
>Tanks kill turrets, allowing infantry to advance into base
>Infantry kill modules, halting AI, auto-repair, etc.
>Everyone kills VP gen, base goes kablooey
the gd-7f is made out of sex and cumming
>>140342752
Kinda random, but the someone should imitate Ace Combat's briefing videos for guides on how to take down bases.
>>140342752
>Tanks kill turrets, allowing infantry to advance into base
>Infantry kill modules, halting AI, auto-repair, etc.
I was just at a battle where it unfolded just like that. The infantry part lasted for a good 20 minutes and they blew up a fuck load of modules. The only reason they weren't able to finish off the gen is a big armored zerg showed up and ended the battle.
It was funny fighting inside the half destroyed base though.
>>140342690
I was hoping the underbarrel attachments would give the class more versatility. Turned out that the regular launcher is a peashooter. I have had some fun with the smoke though. I dropped some extra certs on a thermal sight, which means that if I pop smoke into a room full of enemies, I'm likely the only one who can see anything for about ten seconds. I've been getting a load of kills that way, but not enough to justify how cripplingly overspecialized the combination is.
>>140342752
Yeah, already did the refund. It didn't refund the gun though.
Anyone have the weapon flowcharts?
>>140342785
the orion is the most based and user friendly starter gun available.

Please tell me they didn't fuck up Howling Pass.
Defending that base from attacks coming from the north is my favorite part of that map.
>>140345796
Howling Pass didn't change. The lattice link between Mao Southeast and Howling Pass was removed so now the midfield fights are bretty gud
>>140345796
>Howling Pass
I don't think they touched it at all.
But hey, Abandoned NS is gone now!

Aww man. It was a bitch to take and hold, yeah, but that desert could get some MASSIVE armored column fights going.

I'm sorry for your lose
and your questionable taste
>>140346220
>that desert could get some MASSIVE armored column fights going.
Oh don't you worry, armor fights seem like they're going to happen even more.
That desert to the east is a wonderful place for ANTs and their bases.

You can now enjoy:
- Being in your own little bomb shelter, generating repair certs from any nearby sources damaged and your own structure/module being repaired.
- Being thankful you didn't spend jack 1000 cert shit on a repair module that doesn't even give you certs like all those other module-using cucks probably did.
- Deploying your sunderer for spawn certs, too, when the autists inevitably forget to refresh their sunderer, or it dies, or you C4 it because fuck them you got a garage and shield module wombo-combo.

I play nothing but HA and I'm in the VS faction. What are the best rocket launchers, why are they the best, and what are they great against? Is the NS Annihilator any good, or are all homing launchers terrible? Finally, are there any rocket launchers that are decent against everything and also worth buying?

>I play nothing but HA and I'm in the VS faction.
construction is bloated fucking mess. every base is sprawling unorganized mass of impassable fuck. like a giant pit of bramble. i can't believe i wholeheartedly thought this would be fun. i was so hyped. if this first day was any indicator of what this system will look like im out. this was a disaster.
they need to reign this in somehow because the spam was unblevieable. these AI turrets are a nightmare.

>>140349805
I appreciate the fact that you're the one person who gave me a serious reply, but can you get into detail? I need you to really sell me this launcher. Tell me all about it, why it's good and why I should buy it over anything else.

You can snipe infantry with it.

GOOD SIR I MUST REQUEST THAT YOU CONSIDER TAKING THE TIME TO ENHANCE YOUR MARKSMANSHIP SKILLS FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF PROVIDING GREATER EFFICIENCY AND MORE VICTORIES FOR YOUR ALLIES AS SUCH POOR DISPLAYS OF MARKSMANSHIP ARE FROWNED UPON IN THIS COMMUNITY
>>140350105
That sounds fun, but unfortunately I want you to tell me more. As much as you possibly can, about this launcher.
>>140350293
It shoots lazers.
>>140350339
You're having a laugh, aren't you?
But riddle me this: Will the Lancer help ruin the lives of thousands of vehicles and MAX users? One of the reasons I've considered buying it is that it comes with a fast projectile speed. I don't know how fast, and how long the charging takes but if the launcher is gud then I'll go for it.
so is there a beginner's guide to construction
I haven't played in a year
>>140348887
The annihilator sucks. It has no range and no damage. Get the decimator so you can 1 shot people with flak armor.
racer or rival for an ANT?
>>140350730
annihilator is decent for air deterrence ticks if you're farming jam armor
>>140350293
The lancer has no drop and high velocity so it's easy mode.
Experience so far with construction is that everyone gangs up on NC and there's no actual base fights anymore, it's 90% vehicle slogs against bases impervious to any real damage.
I don't mind base walls being difficult to kill, but everything else takes way too long. I watched a lone engineer with a lone automated AI turret wipe out two squads of infantry by himself, literally all he had to do was keep the turret rep'd up and it was enough to outdo the DPS from the squads while they were getting slaughtered by the turret.
Progress across the map has slowed down a ton, and now you're basically forced to slowly expand by building wall after wall up to the enemy base, as it's the only way to get enough firepower close enough to do anything.
There's some areas of the map, like near quarts ridge, where you can put those air shields and completely stop/kill any infantry attempting to attack down the hill because they have to pass through the shield to do it and it kills them.
Pretty much all it takes to keep a base going is a squad of engineers, and they'll be able to hold off 4x their numbers. Too easy to defend, too hard to attack.
>>140350567
It's an AV launcher that comes with six rounds but can be charged to fire two. Each charged shot deals almost half(!!!) damage than a single S1 round, but has no bullet drop and travels EXTREMELY fast. Damage is reduced after a set distance.
Here's the thing though,it can be fired in groups.
>>140350950
>they pop flares and kill you before you hit them once
>>140351124
>flares
>>140351124
hardly anyone runs flares, and with flak you can always duck back into safety unless they nail you with a dalton
eventually they'll wise up and start hating on you, but by then you just continue playing infantryside and ignore them
>>140351173
>wah a2a missiles take no skill wah
>>140351102
>some people unironically thought this would be good
>>140350567
>Will the Lancer help ruin the lives of thousands of vehicles and MAX users?
Ehh.
It'll ruin the lives of whatever poor sod you happen to catch with their tank already on fire or with their ass exposed, and also ruin the day of any MAXes stuck out in the open. Two fully charged shots will kill a MAX no contest, and you can let loose a charged shot as soon as the third part of the triangle lights up, not once it charges all the way and auto-fires.
> it comes with a fast projectile speed. I don't know how fast,
Extremely fast, 800m/s for level 3 shots. You should generally always charge at least one shot to that point- the damage isn't linear, so a lv3 shot does more damage than 3 level 1 shots.
The projectile is fast but it isn't hitscan, so at extreme range you will still have to lead a bit for ground vehicles and hitting aircraft smaller than a Galaxy is pretty much a crapshoot (at really long ranges vehicles can tend to blend into the terrain and buildings due to the FXAA blur making it harder to figure out where the actual target is).
As >>140351113 said, you can use the Lancer in groups and utterly destroy enemy vehicles, but don't expect that to happen very often- unlike NC and their screaming blue Phoenix missiles, VS rarely grab their own Lancer unless they already see someone else doing it because muh HA/Betelgeuse/Decimator meta, and even when they do most of them apparently don't even realize you can charge it as they sit there going PEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEW and doing less damage to a vehicle than a dumbfire.
>>140351487
>webm
>literally worse than bolt shitters
The only reason that should be allowed is because it doesn't work well on infantry.
>>140351253
If you get like 9 lockons on you then your esf is dead if you don't have flares.
>>140351487
Nevermind I think I might buy it now. If I ever get tired of it I'll one day buy the Annihilator unless the meta changes by then. Thanks a bunch, you've given me all the information I need.
In return, you can have a cute gif of a cute cat.
>>140351731
Don't tell me, nerd. Pilto meme loadouts use fire suppression, and I know this because I've been farming jam armour for a while now.
>>140351683
Archer's even worse. Three shot kill. Two if one is a headshot.
>half the continent pop is in ANTs
>the other half is flying around blowing them up
>small groups are actually still trying to take bases
It's going to take a while for this shit to settle down and be interesting, as of now it's just an annoying time waster.
>>140351683
It absolutely works well on infantry, they're just smaller targets and more likely to be able to shoot back. They're still sitting ducks if they're crossing no-man's-land and are too far away from cover to medkit-shuffle back once you hit them with the first shot.
>>140351809
That is a cute cat but its tongue seems to be broken.
>>140351683
It works wonderfully on infantry.
Better than the all of the non-infiltrator guns labeled long range.
Its a fucking fast projectile and in big open fields its easy as fuck to hit with.

You talk like a fag. When they use primarily flak then use fire suppression. When they use primarily lockons then use flares. Keep in mind esfs have lockons and popping flares after HAs launch rockets at you supports the ground war.

What scope would you recommend for the NC starter sniper ? I'm not feeling it with the 12x but I fear I'm going to get chewed on if I get as close as the average soldier to take headshots
Or should I rather abandon the rifle altogether and pick a pistol and stalker cloak ?
>>140358201
Get the close range sniper and use a 4x scope and shoot mans at short to medium range instead of being a cancerous growth on a hilltop.
>>140358201
get the sas-r instead and slap on a 3.4x or 4x
>can't splash detonate mines any more

>>140361838
I'm hoping it's just novelty and it wears off within a week or two.
Because I'm really not liking this base building minecraft meta.
>>140362205
i for one like that there is something to do other than shot mans now. the fact that there are two distinct kinds of fights that can happen, as opposed to only one, is a plus in my book.
granted it seems everyone is fighting over the new bases like crazy and almost ignoring the lattice but that'll get toned down over time as people realize the lattice still matters

I thought people were being harsh calling T-ray a Nigger back then but to be honest his art direction probably hurt more than it helped PS2.
It's not enough to hurl slurs at theg ame but I've heard from more than enough people that PS2 is ugly and too sterile which I can't disagree with. I feel more comfortable looking at PS1 which is utterly surreal considering how old and clunky it is.
>>140369360
PS2 looks but but probably 10% of population plays it on high
>>140369497
I play it on ultra and I still think it looks ugly.
It's just utterly soulless in art design. That might be the intent, but even so Planetside 1 did a better job at doing generic stuff.
havnt played planetside 2 in forever, does the new update make it worth playing?
>>140369840
Decide for yourself.
>>140369360
PS1 has fun things like bases that actually look liveable with kitchens, sleeping quarters, rec rooms and medical bays, along with enter/exit animations for every vehicle, unique ES paintjobs for every vehicle (even ES ones!), visible weapons on playermodels, much better sound design, and just things that make your jaw drop the first time you see them like the HART leaving the launchpad.
>>140369721
Soulless is a very good word to describe it. What little soul it has was yanked out for 'optimized' textures, pink camo and toilet horns shooting at a bunch of empty grey squares (which are even more similar once Xander gets his meat-hooks on them and replaces everything with the new spawn building and Sunderer garage).
>>140369840
ANTs aren't trucks so no
>>140369360
>I feel more comfortable looking at PS1 which is utterly surreal considering how old and clunky it is.
buildings that look like and function as buildings
no player-bought cosmetics or camouflage
standard issue gear that clearly showcases a player's rank
PS1 did eventually shit the bed with BFRs and black ops, though. Completely out of place.
>>140370280
also: doors and windows
>>140370370
that ties into the first point
>>140370537
yeah but it needs to be stressed again
doors and windows
ps2 is so shitty they literally cannot include fucking doors and/or windows and instead have to use ridiculous colored shields everywhere that don't even fit right half the time
and shitty half-window covers that just make it so you can't shoot out while tanks shoot in
what the difference between Ps2 warpgate and Ps1 sanctuary?

sanctuary was its own separate thing where you could go to continents, fuck around in VR, re-cert your character, test out guns, jack off in the potted plants while waiting for the HART, etc. and warpgates were just the big hole in the ground you see in the ps2 warpgates, except ps1 ones actually WARPED things between continents (i.e. drive your tank into it and teleport to the linked gate on another continent)
ps2 warpgates are kind of like pseudo-sanctuaries with VR split off into its own thing, the HART gone, and the warp part broken and replaced by redeploy hopping
>>140370674
I guess we could also add in "actual map design" to the mix, since large facilities were basically TDM arenas with additional objectives, rather than killing fields.
>>140370946
The largest difference is the Sanctuary was often the only way to get heavier gear to a fight, because of the way warpgates worked. It was basically the mission hub where squads and platoons would get organized before heading out.
I mean, honestly speaking how often do you grab a non-flyer from the warp-gate.
>>140370946
Sanctuary is kind of like VR Training, completely separate from a continent, wholly owned by the faction and completely safe.
PS1 Warpgates also allowed you to travel while in a vehicle, so Sancs would have massive fleets and battalions prepared and deployed to continents to start fights.
They were nice homes.

We've been over it more times than I can count, but the one thing PS1 truly did better than any other game is have a shitload of "neat" moments.
An updated PS1 with good gunplay with the same atmosphere and everything would've been top shit.
>>140371415
I know, right? What a magnificent game.
>>140371683
>same atmosphere
On that note, PS1's skyboxes are fucking beautiful. They're like the old PS1 Spyro games.
How did they fuck those up for PS2 so badly?
>>140371964
They make up for it with the lighting, I'd think. Ignoring the airniggers infesting it, night-time Esamir's skyline is pretty dang great.
>>140373487
>night-time Esamir's skyline is pretty dang great.
The best PS2 ever looks is when the wrong skybox, lighting and fog loads when you go to a continent.
Hossin without the fog and with Indar's cheery blue sky is gorgeous, as is Amerish's rolling plains with Esamir's rolling clouds and snow (which make the continent look like a quiet, foggy morning).

Player made bases are impossible to attack because of overpowered turrets. Also fuck the queue system. If your faction has even a little overpop you can't go anywhere.

>PS1 has fun things like bases that actually look liveable with kitchens, sleeping quarters, rec rooms and medical bays, along with enter/exit animations for every vehicle, unique ES paintjobs for every vehicle (even ES ones!), visible weapons on playermodels, much better sound design, and just things that make your jaw drop the first time you see them like the HART leaving the launchpad.
Yeah, Angels Fall First has so much detail packed into the Battleship interiors it's almost irritating, with Crew Quarters and even a Med Bay that don't really serve a purpose.
When combined with Space/Infantry Integrated Combat, it makes one wonder if SOE should have gone with older gen graphics that'd run better over Forgelight...

Shilling Angels Fall First again, because it has the mechanics to enable theses.

If your aim was good you wouldn't fear change so much. Therefore I would suggest you

>>140390458
I don't fear change, I hate that fact that there's barely any fights anymore, at least not yesterday. Too many people are either in ANTs doing whatever or in ESFs with hornets. It wasn't much fun at all, especially not for someone who isn't interested in playing minecraft. If I wanted to play minecraft, I'd play minecraft. I'm playing planetside because I want to shot mans, which I can't now.
What is there to fear anyway? The game changed from planetman head click simulator to space trucker construction simulator.

Yes, that's the point
>Infantry can't get anywhere near the base as long as Xiphos turrets are up
Also the point
>They even see through infiltrator cloak
That seems like a bug, but eh
>Repair module can outrepair everything except a huge-ass tank zerg
Turrets get repaired at a MUCH slower rate then buildings and cover does. You don't need a tank zerg to take out the turrets
>ANT is like a Harasser with Sunderer armor
Except, you know, it's completely unintimidating because it's slower then a harasser and only has one sunderer weapon

>>140390675
this, I for one love that construction is pissing off so many different types of autists since it changed the "meta" of what they've been doing for the last 2 years
>air autists mad there's actually no-fly zones/they can't pod with impunity due to air shields
>HE spam autists mad they can't play point and click adventure on spawn rooms
>infantry autists mad no one cares about their tower/biolab farms anymore
Construction has more or less made the game into a proper "combined arms" game, where teamwork >> individual skill
>>140392123
>You're shit at adapting. You are objectively trash at the game.
Because I dislike the huge shift in focus from shooting to constructing? Really? That tells you something about how good I am? I have an opinion and I voice it on an anonymous imageboard, deal with it, no one wants to listen to you sperging out either.
