Neat, but are there full sized activate-able swords yet? I want my chainsword/HF Blade/lightsaber.
>>
like fallout 4 style or starcraft?
>>
>>335737384

not "full sized" but yes. i have more kills with this than any other weapon. they're just this fun to use.

So can I just be a miner all day and still be credit to team?

>>335737847
yea they kind of desinged it to be like that. there are player placed silos that you deposite mined rescources into. you have to protect convoys of SCV's or else the resources never get there.
>>
but is it gonna run like shit?
>>
is the new player experience still fucking brutal?
>>
>>335738034
runs pretty great now. they did a otimization overhaul a few months ago. i can usually get 50 fps in fights with over 90 people.

The best weapons minus a few LMG's are 1k certs each and demand a LOT of time investment. OR you could spend some money and get it in a fraction of the time. Your call.
>>
>>335735410
that was fucking sick
>>
>>335740052
no terrain deformation but the general experience of setting shit up and figuring out player made structures is about the same.
>>
>>335740143
and most of them are worse than the default guns. especially NC guns for non HA.

once you make a smart purchase with the first 1000 certs though you make them a lot faster.
>>
>>335739806
and what about all the other shit like armor
i remember playing for a really long time and barely being able to fully upgrade a single class because that damage reduction thing costs a fortune

That's what they said while vanu could one-shot anyone with 100% accuracy at 10x the visibility range, and anyone could bomb anyone from so high up nobody could touch them, not even other planes, let alone HA, and the necessary upgrades for that required so many points you'd just give up and pay up or just quit the game.

NC's retardation, easily. People generally take the game easy as NC, but are terrible at it and will constantly teamkill you. NC will lose a 100 v 20 fight, but have fun doing it.

VS is a bunch of tryhard sperglords, but the guy next to you does know how to aim and kill someone who isn't on his team. If you accidentally teamkill a guy, expect his whole outfit to go turbo autismo and kill you on sight for the next two hours.

People who play TR are boring.

>>335741926
optimization no. grinding really depends on what you want. a fully certed tank yes, a single gun that's good, no.

Vehicle weapons, max weapons, high velocity sniper rifles and associated modules. HA is a strange class, they get good stuff early.

again, why should they be cheaper? sniping is cancer for most shooters this not exluded. a bloo bloo you cant ruin everyones fun right from the get go, fuck off. the privelidge to sit on your ass 5 miles from a fight and pick off people with the audacity to stand still for 3 nanoseconds should have a steep cert investment you dumb nigger.

standing a chance against older players by flooding your game with low BR players using cancerous weapons is how you kill servers you fucking mongoloid.

NC. His reason above all else is that the HUD colors confused him a bit when he was playing a different faction - he was TR, and the blue name for friendlies was confusing him as his buddies were in red armor. He said he wants to make the game as accessible as possible for every new player that's going to join him, and that the simplicity of NC's "Blue = good, anything else = shoot" is the biggest reason.

He's more ideologically with TR, though.

Planetside 1 was so much fucking better for the simple reason that everyone wasn't a 1 man fucking army that could magically operate every vehicle by himself and access and use every kind of weapon and armor.

You even able to loot other players and customized your loadout inventory.

It's the perfect example of dumbing down a game to appeal to the wider audience. Too bad that once Battlefield 4 came out, tons of player left for it. They should've stuck with what they had with PS1 and just updated the graphics and added some more features instead of revamping every single thing.

I hate this game, but I've also played it a lot. So, 10 helpful tips for new players:

1. The easiest way to live longer on any class is to get 4 medkits, and spam them while running around like you're on fire on the rare occasions that taking damage doesn't instantly kill you
2. The U key is your best friend. You should never run from base to base. Even using a vehicle is often times slower than doing the redeploy shuffle across a continent
3. Don't play vanu, unless you just can't get enough of that cock
4. Stay out of biolabs. The tertiary bases to biolabs are usually good fights. The biolabs themselves are asscheeks and nobody ever has fun in them
5. Get used to Indar, you'll be seeing a lot of it.
6. Press H to enlarge your minimap, turn on centralized HUD in the options. [ and ] zoom the minimap in and out
7. The best cert investment you can make is in your class abilities. Medic with max rank jesus gun and bubble shield basically print certs and is a good place to start
8. All guns are the same. No gun is a straight upgrade over another. All of them can be trial'd in the depot, and all of them can be equipped in VR training
9. Don't ever join command chat, unless you love hearing literal autists bicker on VOIP
10. Uninstall the game to increase your quality of life and boost your fun
>>
>>335751247

Do you like shooting lots of colorful men? Then, yes.

It's still grindy, but you get a lot more certs for the first 15 levels, and the stock weapons are often the best ones, besides the AV stuff.

Also, if you want to be an asshole, play engineer. You can grind lots of certs just by tossing out ammo packs and being a butt buddy for a MAX. And if you want to be a super asshole, just take T5S with grenade and camp on a tower with an ammo pack.

Light assaults have jet packs so they can just jump out of aircraft and never die, but engis can run away and repair.

its not P2W at all. even if you buy all the best equipemnt most of it is harder to use than the start equipemnt.

Haven't tried it yet, but you have a generator that gives your side points and it can only be created by someone over 15 rank. Everyone else can rez walls, garages, repair points and turrets to protect that generator. You use certs or fun bucks to unlock a schematic and then can place it anywhere.

100% p2w. You need to grind hundreds of hours to even have a lick of a chance against anyone who already has the right upgrades, and because you get instagibbed and can't do anything about it whatsoever, grinding is ridiculously slow and boring. When you do pony up the cash because there's literally no reason to deal with this, you'll suddenly be very fast since you, too, can instagib farm noobs. Then you realize that's not fun in anyway and quit 2 days later.

This honestly sounds like an awful mess. It would be a lot better if they went with PS1 design (actual walled in bases that require supplies via ANT to power the defenses) but that would require them to remake the entire game so I suppose it isn't an option.

Still, though. I actually think that not making this system at all would be a better idea. It doesn't sound functional, much less fun.

Infantry combat is pretty fair, since the stock weapons are great and skill matters more than your new gun.

Air combat is pretty much fucked, since the only people who fly are those who do it for 15 hours a week and have full kitted out aircraft and you have a pea shooter and baby thruster pack.

Tanks and ground vehicles benefit from different stuff, depending on whether you want to go AI or tank hunting.

Paying fun bucks for stuff will not make you better unless you are running A2A missiles on your fighter.

The implants are a different thing. It's just a stat boost that requires energy to run. The one thing that is pretty OP is the one that makes you immune to flashbangs, since people run in thinking everyone is stunned and you shoot their face.

Why are you running around in the open of fucknuts Indar? PS2 is not a good game, but if you roll with a group of people, you're either in a battle bus or there's a medic around to revive you.

Friendly fire and tanks firing at infantry from across the map are the worst parts of the game.

each player gets a certain number of each kind of structure that costs a certain number of the resource that's deposited into a common pool silo. you can keep the resrouce all for yourself by not depositing it, you keep it in your mining vehicle.

so a wall costs 1000 cortium, a silo holds 50,000 cortium and a mining vehicle holds 5000, and you get 4 walls, 2 towers, 1 bunker etc. so it scales with cooperation and team coordination.

It's been a long ass time since I played but last time I played I was able to wreck shit without grinding or touching the cash shop and just playing as a combat medic using the Gauss Rifle S with a foregrip, 6x scope, and compensator which all together was pretty cheap. Trick I found was just to always use semi auto instead of running around like an idiot trying to spray bullets everywhere.

Course this was like a year ago though and I don't know how much the game has changed since then.

Eh, honestly I can't really see people setting up entire structures if that's what they have planned. What I'd like to see is ways to sort of reinforce the existing structures in the game, i.e. setting up light turrets, sandbags, tank barricade, etc. That's kind of what I wish you could already do as an engineer, basically set up lines of turrets for other players to use.

Also this thread's making me reinstall it just to see what it's like now. Had a pretty good time last time I played.

Pretty much. If you can't get a kill with one of the default infantry weapons you're probably not going to get a kill with any of the weapons you actually have to buy.

>>335753657
Biggest issue I ran into with the cash stuff was special snowflake armor customization. The default armor in the game was designed around specific shapes and colors to make each faction recognizable. When you're playing NC, who's armor is designed to be boxy in nature and you see a TR running around with a helmet that looks pretty fucking similar to the NC's style of armor wearing brown and green camo it can be pretty fucking confusing. Likewise if you see an NC teammate running around with a helmet that's smooth and round in the style of the VS wearing similarly neutral colors it's easy to mistake him for an enemy and accidentally gun his poor ass down.

That doesn't invalidate the accusations of P2W though.

Pay2Win is cancerous because it frustrates players who spend less money on perks. Forcing players to climb a grind hill in order to reach that peak isn't fun. This is why paying for ADVANTAGES is intolerable. PS2 was like this in the early beta (and still is now) because of how the weapon tiers work.

I guess most people don't give a shit though.

TR on West 2 never had their shit together, FUCKING EVER. Picture related it was the last time I saw Buzz on west 2 back in the day before he left for West 1 crying abloo bloo. Smedley had asked on global for people to join west 2 for stress testing, west 1 was pretty laggy so most joined it, I went there because all the old ass outfits and groups had just got in the beta. So of course Buzz showed up there to try to capitalize on the situation, not thinking of the massive amounts of NC old players whom had not even earned certs yet. His group attempted to stack fucking sunderers with repair into our warpgate and siege NC directly but got murdered by Zephyr and all of NC firing at each sunder one at a time. Buzz retreated and sat at the fucking Paris tech planet tower for 6 hours with his whole faction before he noticed that a third of the NC force had just taken their territory from behind. Picture related is the last image seen of buzz and crew back when you could storm inside of warpgates.

Except grinding for weapons is pointless from my experience. Only guns I spent certs on were the S1 Gauss and one of the surface to air rocket launchers.

As that one anon mentioned, the default guns are pretty much the best in the game. If you can't get a kill with one of the default guns you're probably just shit and dropping certs or cash on another gun isn't really gonna make a difference.
>>
>>335762891
>the default guns are pretty much the best in the game.
That only counts for two factions on the HA class. Every other weapon is shitty for the engagement range it offers. If you only play HA then that's understandable, but the power gap between something like the standard scout rifle and the highest velocity bolt rifles is huge.

> Grinding for weapons
Protip: Most weapons are shit.

The best guns are the ones which, in order of importance:
- Are as accurate as possible
You can't hit someone beyond 70 meters if the first shot on your COF is literally going sideways or into space.
- Have excellent rate of fire
Fast ROF+headshots is instant death with no (human) reaction time possible, it's just that simple. Your target WILL react starting on the first hit, making subsequent hits harder. Dealing as many hits as possible in a short time mostly avoids this.
- Deal as much damage as possible.
Make enemies who may only have partial health more succeptable to an immediate death on a hit. This is why so many people use the commissioner, because if for any reason you're below 450 health, you'll die in 1HS+1hit instead of 3 hits anywhere.

The TR weapons and the starting VS Orion LMG are a good example of why "ROF+headshots" is a game winner, and why the "I have horrible COF bloom and low ROF" Gauss Saw LMG requires a more skilled operator to manage. (and why NC newbies are utter shitbags at holding the line)

I've made the mistake of basically buying and maxing out the medals ("auraxium'd") for nearly every infantry weapon on the New Conglomerate twice over.

The only weapons worth a damn are:
Cyclone (SMG) - 167 damage on a hipfire gun, meant to be used in close range. Headshots @ min distance means 4 shots to kill. Only SMG in the game worth a shit. (others rely on pure ROF and infiltrator cloak-lag gimmicks)
"S"elect variant Carbine/AR - Normally the -s variant weapons are shit, however NC gets a 2 round burst instead of 3. This is NOT a detriment it normally is, since the 3rd round is the one that misses. Engineers get infnite ammo, so it's best to get the carbine version and underbarrel grenade launcher attachment and spam free mini-grenades all day onto corners.
ROF hipfire carbines - Can be good if you slap the Advanced laser sight on it to reduce COF by 66%
Pump action shotgun, "damage" version - The only infantry gun (outside of the UBSG of the -s variant carbine/ARs) that can legitimately instagib almost any infantry. Don't put slugs on it, that removes the instagib pellets.
High-skill and patience required guns are:
AC-X11 (Carbine) Reaper, Atross (AR) Gauss Saw (LMG) . All of these have perfect first shot accuracy, making them effectively light and more versatile snipers without being a fucking "i lose 100 shield health because my cloak is broken and annoying" infiltrator.

The rest of the guns? Shit. All shit.
Battle rifles. Sniper rifles. Scout rifles. SMGs. -S variant LMGs. "Auraxium medal reward" weapons.
Total fucking garbage.

tl;dr
Heavy Assault with their faction flavored ROF LMG, or the NS-"75% move speed while aiming when everyone else gets 50% move speed" LMG. + 4 Medkits + Decimator + Commissioner. + Adrenaline shield/Nanoweave, or Resist shield/Shield Capacitor.
Battle hardened 4, or Regeneration 3 or 4.

This describes 70%-90% of the infantry population. I wish i was joking.
