What stuff should I equip in the other Slots?
can I play this game on toaster now?
>>143439262
Composite, hi-g, tankbuster, and turbo-boost.
Turbo is probably most important.
>>143439840
Extreme close range is always pretty fucky with shotguns, for whatever reason.

What does an A2G Scythe look like nowadays? I haven't played in years.
Do you still just do PPA + Fuel Tank? I don't remember any of these secondary weapons and they all feel the same in the VR.
>>143443447
yes
if you were TR hornets would be the way to go, but VS and NC get the luxury of having long afterburner
btw, extended fuel tanks are now default (if you don't equip another secondary)
When should you pull MAXes?
I play VS and finally can invest a few certs into them.
I have the impression HA is more efficient at killing vehicles (also cheaper if you get killed sooner than you'd think). HA G2A seems also better at AA
So, what are good AI loadouts? For when you're defending / pushing to a point?
>>143443630
>I have the impression HA is more efficient at killing vehicles
no lol
>HA G2A seems also better at AA
if there's only one (assuming it's not an ex quake pro with a deci) then a MAX is far more dangerous
in general, skillsuits are better at close range AA, while HA locks are better at long range
>So, what are good AI loadouts? For when you're defending / pushing to a point?
unless you're an AI comet/pounder/falcon nerd, always use the long range guns for AI. DPS or ammo capacity is irrelevant if you don't hit. blueshift/mercy/mattock, always. no exceptions.
>>143443630
>When should you pull MAXes?
>I play VS
at every possible opportunity
The Airhammer is now worse at anti-infantry than the live version of Banshee, but its vehicle damage is even more ridiculous than before.

Go to the PTS and try it
>>143447503
What the fuck is happening on Briggs
>>143443630
When theres one engi on the team. Theres no good time to pull a max, but the most "honorable" non-shitter opportunity would be when your faction is slightly outpopped.
MAXes work better with teamwork
>>143444532
What do you mean worse? Does it take 1 more second to kill an infantryman?
>>143448025
It could take your whole magazine depending on RNG. The spread is huge and splash non existent.
>>143447693
There is no honorable in PS2. Only salty infantryside vets who get mad when vehicles/MAXes ruin their statpadding session
Is putting two C4 bricks on a flash and use it as a kamikaze still a good idea?
Would it get me some fun kill?
Few questions.
1. for survivability, is flak armor better than nanoweave?
2. are Hornet missiles worth the cost?
>>143451237
Flak in zergs. Nanoweave in small fights. Advanced shield capacitor fits all though(used once you can shoot mans properly)
>>143450239
Do it with an Infiltrator friend that has cloaking, and MBTs literally cannot stop you.
>>143451778
oh boys
So as someone who is about to spend money on this ded game. I have one question, is there a secure credit card system where I don't need to save my card to my account or does daybreak just not have that.i'd rather not have my account get hacked and my credit card info found
>>143448213
aim better
>>143453065
Game has prepaid cards you can buy at a gas station, friend
>>143453801
Not your friend, pal
>>143454127
It also accepts your Steam wallet if you can find prepaid cards for that. Or just use Paypal, buddy.
>>143451778
>>143452929
You can do it yourself if you've a fury.
Attach c4, swap to infil, detonate with fury.
Works best against prowlers, okay against vanguards/lightnings, and kind of finicky against magriders. Sometime it goes seamlessly, others you pass harmlessly beneath them without it detonating.
If you're doing it without wraith (ie, just using the flash as a c4 torpedo), then turbo-boost is near required.
>>143454256

wrel clearly doesn't want you to step outside
>>143459094
>while someone's trying to meme with you at 50kph, you just pop shield and dumbfire a rocket into the cert pinata
I don't see the problem here.
>>143459141
Sure, rocket rifles only. I'll go as TR:^)
>>143459632
If you didn't notice it was a MAX, it instagibs infantry just like pre nerf.
>>143440654
It is because shotguns have terrible CoF that is wider than their spread at close range. So you can have 100% of pellets miss at point blank.
>>143448025
LPPA kills significantly faster.
>>143436208
Last week I went looking for all the planetside art I could get. I was quite disappointed as I discovered that like 80% of all of it is pony shit. I was also surprised at the lack of VS ponies, I expected them to have a ton, but it was TR who had the most.
I feel like tr has rused me.
>>143459094
I'm going to switch to permanant spawn-room burster duty.
Which is way more difficult now that most of the spawn rooms on Indarside got changed to the big version that you can't burster from.
>>143444532
Do people not remember the original air hammer and how that thing used to fucking ruin vehicles?
>>143458330
So these things are for light assault only?
>>143461243
considering the CoF is 2x the crosshair circle, you'll manage.
All wrel needed to do with the AH was tighten its CoF so it was useful outside deci range. Instead he did the opposite.
All rise for the New Conglomerate anthem.

wait so we're getting an NS rocklet rifle but it is different based on what faction you are? wtf is this shit?
What do you all think of construction?
>>143464768
its fun and a good addition but didn't make planetside 2 great again
>>143466176
built a lot of walls though
Why is the VS MAX so shit?
NC and TR get fucking shotguns and rockets for their MAXes and Vanu gets nothing to kill infantry with splash.
Am I missing why they're supposed to be good?
>>143467920
fucking lol
>>143454710
Also works on Sunderers if you max out the engineer belt, but it's expensive as hell for one shot.
>>143464768
At 100% efficiency, a single Hive will generate 1 VP every forty (40) minutes. This entire process also generates virtually no XP; a single full ANT delivery only gives you four kills' worth of XP, for example, despite it taking several minutes. So every squad/platoon jerking off in the corner with their walls is a squad that's actively pulling troops off other, actually viable win conditions.
In terms of making FOBs, the no-build zones are extremely restrictive and prevent proper building placement, so you end up with shitty islands that are so off the path that they barely pull any players off the actual base.
So construction is useless in all regards.
>>143461459
>So these things are for light assault only?
Yes
>>143462941
>NS rocklet rifle but it is different based on what faction you are?
Not entirely. It has various ammo types to chose from, also ES types. It even has access to smoke and flashbangs in secondary mode (RMB, consumes more ammo)

>>143472545
i don't understand, are they going to nerf C4?
>>143473196
They made the 3rd person camera on vehicles more zoomed out so you pretty much have no way of sneaking up on a vehicle now. Plus I think it works better with a overlay now, so they can stay in 3rd person mode now.
>>143471674
if the NC has the high damage thing, what would TR get?
even more damage?
>>143434708
This game has nothing on PS1. Absolute utter garbage marketed towards millennials with cocks tinier than their attention span.
>>143473785
>implying tank drivers don't get tunnel vision
Most C4 kills are on lazy or shitty tank drivers, or drivers who have been outplayed (nothing like planting two bricks on the ground and then goading some kill-thirsty tank to chase you right into your death trap)
The impact of this will be minimal.
>>143473785
>no way of sneaking up on a vehicle now.
>>143472545
wait wait, did they finally apply your FOV settings to vehicle 3rd person, is that it? or is it just zoomed out?
>>143468962
Can it be fixed?
The construction system really is just one giant clusterfuck of pointlessness. Pointless XP rewards, pointlessly slow VP generation, pointlessly many exploits (eg. go to enemy faction and use all their hive cores on 10% efficiency ones right by their warpgate)
On top of this you get essentially nothing for killing a hive core. It's 450 xp, which is 20% less than you get for capturing a control point.
>>143464768
Too disconnected to the original purpose of the game. It has some interest for some purely for novelty, but within a few months few will bother.
I'd much rather they focus on things like letting engineers upgrade the defenses on existing structures.
>>143468962
Well it's not technically useless. In a stalemate, whoever has a 6 person cheese squad parked on a mesa next to the NC warpgate generating just one VP will lock the continent.
Other than that yes, construction doesn't generate enough to warrant pouring all your manpower over the bases - especially if you lost all your cores.
for construction they shouldve just copied planetside 1 and let engis construct aegis shields (big shield-domes that cloak those inside; useful for cover) and upgrade base turrets.
also added lodestars but nah that would take actual effort, lets just add a copy/pasted NS weapon instead :))) we get more money short term this way, nevermind that the game is bleeding dry of players :)))
>>143475905
Long term viability matters for subscription games. By making it a F2P game, they made it so that all decisions would be centered around creating sellable content as cheaply and easily as possible.
That's why we won't see more continents or more vehicles. You can't sell those. You can sell shotguns and hats, though.
>>143475537
They need ribbons and shit for doing construction related things

>>143471492
Planetside 2 has made every other game boring. But I also hate this game too.
>>143471492
it was the jews.
So if I'm a comfy fag can I do construction stuff off on my own or does it require friends or squad mates? Don't really care if it's pointless, I'm just bored.
Also can anyone recommend an outfit on memerald for Vanu? I've only ever played solo and it's not too great.
>>143478242
I can highly recommendkill yourself faggot
>>143478242
as long as you unlocked the skyshield and AI module you can do whatever you want.

Have thought about it plenty of times over the years but I've really been enjoying life lately, sorry.
>>143443630
Generally speaking, any time you can pull a max, you could be a heavy assault instead and do as good or better.
Maxes work best as damage sponges/support
>>143479672
max does AV/AA duty much better.

Wrel cut damage by about 60-70%
It's now pointless to use the airhammer for A2G against infantry.
My only guess is that he's trying to make it so it isn't a high-alpha instakill gun, but he accomplished this by making the gun completely worthless at everything. You'd almost be better off with the valk noseguns.
>>143451237
Flak is almost never worthwhile - about the only time you'll ever need it are those moments when you've got like 30 guys stuffed into a small room and grenades keep getting tossed around like candy.
Whereas nanoweave helps in every other situation.
Flak armor on a max is a good investment though - helps a fair bit against c4.
>>143457861
That looks completely useless...
>>143451237
>>143480594
ASC = shootmoremans
ASC + Resist + tampons = Maximum shootmans
Flop = Die to the second grenade that was thrown in at the same time
Nanowimp = Die hiding like a frightened rat because your shields won't recharge
>>143479785
I disagree on AA - if you're going to do AA, use the lock-on launchers.
>>143481654
but the combined kph of the bursters is higher than the G2A launcher
>>143481037
A 4 second difference in shield recharge times isn't enough to really matter when it comes to shootin mans
I'd only recommend ASC if you're going full resist-heavy meta where it synergizes best. Otherwise, use literally anything else.
And "nanowimp" is bascially mandatory for using adrenaline/nmg to even start being competitive with resist.
>>143481654
>Hawk 3.2
>BLeft 2.9
>BRight 2.4
Left + Right = 5.4
Which is significantly better than the launcher alone. Remember that only one arm gets the kill.
>>143481909
That's not how it works son, you don't get 2 kills by killing 1 aircraft with bursters.
One of the arms gets a kill.
What you're saying would be like adding your sidearm and primary firearm aircraft kills to your lock-on aircraft kills.
>>143481939

>>143482116
I finish ESFs with my LMG all the fucking time. The Phoenix puts ESFs into burning, LMG to finish.
>>143481992
Not him, but..
The downside is that the Burster MAX is a significant nanite cost for something that is very specific in its purpose.
Pulling an HA with a Hawk allows much more flexibility with gameplay.
So it depends on circumstance.
e.g. if you're in a 12 v 12 and some podfarmer comes around to show off how tiny his dick is, pulling a Hawk and starting the lock process is often enough for him to flare off and find another battle to farm.
but if you're in a 96 v 96 and the sky is dark with fat distracted targets, Burster MAX is the way to go
>>143482116
>What you're saying would be like adding your sidearm and primary firearm aircraft kills to your lock-on aircraft kills.
You do realize MAXes have two weapons equipped at all times, yes.
>>143482598
All you said is that the burster max is always better, but sometimes you don't wanna pull a max so you make do.
Too bad wrel won't fix the worthless skyguard
>>143482217
More realistically:
>Use ASC
>Grenade knocks down shields
>Run away and recharge in 6 seconds
>Don't use ASC
>Grenade knocks down shields
>Run away and recharge in 10 seconds
There are very few instances where ASC matters, and these are only situations where you're in a high-tempo battle, right where resist+medkits (and betelgeuse) also starts working best.
In any other situation where you can and will be able to take cover for 10 seconds (or, more realistically, find a bubble shield/sunderer/infantry terminal and recharge as quickly or faster than ASC) you're better off with something else.
It's a niche item, whereas a straight resist boost from nanoweave helps in every type of firefight.
>>143482825
Yeah, that's pretty much what I said, and I stand by that.
But yeah, the Skyguard is fucked, as is the Lightning in general.
Why the Lightning gets 1 fire mode and has to rely on teamwork while the ESF gets 2 fire modes and gets to be flexible with gameplay for the same nanite cost is bizarre.
>>143482825
I really don't understand a lot of the things Wrel is doing now.
I do feel as though his own personal biases are beginning to boil forth.
And I don't like the non-scientific approach he takes to balance. He should be doing some statistical analysis before he even starts changing a weapon.
I'd honestly vote iridar for weapon balance changes over wrel; at least that guy is autistic enough to do the math.
>>143474885
>out skilled
>>143482659
more than that a burster max doesn't switch weapons, while a HA is going to switch to LMG or tampon when not using the Hawk.
>>143483354
All the aircraft are poorly balanced.
Were it up to me, I'd completely change the aircraft dynamic and make the Lib/valk the A2G aircraft, and the ESF's the A2A aircraft; remove ESF A2G weapon pods and noseguns entirely, stick them on the valk and rebalance them as needed after that. ESF's transition to controlling the skies.
That keeps the 1-man aircraft from acting like a do-everything vehicle that it currently is.
>>143484035
>That keeps the 1-man aircraft from acting like a do-everything vehicle that it currently is.
But that's the point. What kind of fucking nerd wants to deal with teamwork or coordination? If I can't singlehandedly wipe a platoon in my ESF for my Twitch montage, then I'm dropping this piece of shit game.
And that goes double for the MBTs. I'm fucking elated that they removed that driver/gunner bullshit from PS1.
>>143484035
Honestly I wasn't having any issues with ESFs until the banshee cancer-buff.
But instead wrel buffs banshee, nerfs AH to worthless, LPPA is still quite good, and makes it take 5 lockons to kill (indirect health buff).
Literally cancer, fragile ESFs were good. Now unkillable ESFs.
I'm looking forward to wrel bringing back the Libpocolypse.
>>143483395
Wrel is finally buffing TR and nerfing the other dramatically overpowered factions. That's the only thing this game needs and you can fuck off if you don't like it.
>>143484035
Exactly, it should be like that from the fucking start. Libs should be main a2g vehicles at launch. Want air support? Protect it with your ESFs.
How's the magscatter work out as a secondary?
I've never really used it, but I've always been curious if it's effective.
>>143485658

If this goes live, I'm mostly just upset due to the harasser nerf.
No longer will I be able to pull up behind tonks, and tank mine them with complete safety.

Well, now I'm 180*d. Everyone supporting such "justice" must die. By bullet or bayonet or bared fang and claw.

Cute
(Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go shoot some teammates in the back)
A have a shiet lap top (750m, i7 moblie?) can i run this some what well? sorry if this isnt the place for this but id like to know before i try and play.
>>143520735
The game is literally free, so there's no reason not to give it a shot.
>>143520814
i know its free anon, i want to know if i can run it before i waste my time downloading it. btw how is sniping in this game?
>>143520098
Shield on the NC MAX is to protect them from other NC.
>>143520098
I just found it funny, since like, almost every (infantry) gun in this game is automatic.
enforcer not shit when
>>143521719
I feel you, chief.
And to be fair, you're right. The Vanu scum is wrong. VS is always wrong.
>>143520886
pretty good. you can go invisible. but people know all the camping spots, so you have to move if people find your location(sometimes never since new scrubs everyday)
>>143523817
It's not simply that people know the camping spots
I can hear you sniper faggots spotting people
>>143520886
>how is sniping in this game?
It's called boltshitting, and it's the highest skill cap activity in any video game.
>>143527062
No it isn't. Projectiles are much much much harder than hitscan.
>>143533209
ps2 uses projectiles you shitter
>>143520886
It's hard as fuck, only really good players snipe in ps2
>>143533314
Projectiles that are essentially indistinguishable from hitscan at the range at which you use the 4x scope 'boltshit' rifles

>>143533563
I could wipe the floor with you not only in Planetside but in any FPS game friend.
>>143533478
You realize the CQC bolt rifles have slower projectile velocity than an Orion or CARV?
>>143533937
What does that have to do with what I said
>>143534014
The 'range' at which you use the bolt rifles is the same as any other gun, but you have to actually be better at prediction and aiming.
>>143534075
OK friend, sure thing.
Keep trying to convince yourself that this game isn't retardedly easy.

I don't really understand this game, I'm fucking shit with guns to the point where I feel like I shouldn't bother. AA with the Hawk is fun though

How come maxes weren't overpowered in planetside 1?
What did they do right that they did wrong in PS2?
>>143544903
reasonable TTK
no charge
map design that wasn't fucktarded
greater emphasis on team play than MLG killstreaks
MAXes aren't an issue even in PS2 if you have a somewhat coordinated squad.
>>143440408
Where is the recoil

Tribes did everything better.

wut
>>143474885
Must feel nice being able to do that. As a TR you don't get to c4 stationary targets much. Unless the drive is afk or something.
>>143536345
>>143537806
Where is the recoil? I'm going to try the 3x scope on the Butcher. If it shakes like crazy I'm gonna be butthurt and whine on the forums that TR is UP.
>>143546128
soon enough they'll add in some AI MAX weapons and it'll be
>full auto version of NC's shotguns for TR
>laser guided slugs for NC

also the TR version will have AV damage as well for some reason and none of the others will

>actually look into what's going on with NC losing so many alerts.
They have all the tools but are too bad to use them. Buffing NC would make it even more brokenly OP for the few good players.
>go take the trash out
>there's a fucking meter long snek on my doormat
>in central europe
>>143549195
I mean I know they're common, but I've never seen one in a town, only out in the woods.
>>143548931
Not even joking, buffing NC would lead to an increase in accidental team-kills.
>>143548931
in any game where there are low rate of fire guns, the low rate of fire guns underperform unless used by someone who is higher skilled
NC is the hard mode faction. guns with low rate of fire, vehicle weapons with little splash and high drop, a slow and punishing tank with no turret stabilization (it's not bad, just hard to use), default faction colors that stick out against virtually any terrain, a max that absolutely has to get close to be at its best
the reason we lose alerts is because the average shitter can't use NC assets to their fullest power. the reason we're not underpowered is because all things equal, a good player will win against the other factions.other than in a straight forward MBT fight against TR
not saying i like the way it works right now, but for now it works. NC's not broken.
>>143549519
>all things equal, a good player will win against the other factions
then why do all the tryhards main VS
>>143549519
t. TR/VS
>>143549519
NC have a lot of high RPM guns too, and even their other guns aren't that low RPM. Or are you saying that the Mercenary is harder to control with its 100% up recoil than the TRAC-5 that pulls right?
Weapons like Jackhammer, Cyclone, Airhammer and anything their MAXes can use are the epitome of easymode. Same with the Vanguard shield. It's like the paladin bubble from WoW except it doesn't have 5 min cooldown.
