Comfy Esamir Edition
The third AE pack is out, with solid camos, some ugly AE guns, and Heroic boosts! This was absolutely worth waiting a year for and is definitely up to the level of quality as the AE launchers or Hardlight armor.

A range buff would be welcome, but most tankfags still scream "RAVENS OP, RAVENS OP" so I don't see that happening any time soon.
Tankfags to this day whine that a tank shouldn't be able to get taken out with two bricks of C4.

This is actually a pretty cool screenshot.

Why am I supposed to play infiltrator to get it? Why is the Eidolon in the same catagory as infiltrator weapons for that? I really don't like to play the class, I'm much rather a HA with a eidolon
>>122367565
If you go by vehicle kills (what these weapons are designed for), the raven is clear winner, with about triple the KPU of the pounders, and double the vehicle KPH.
Pounders have some utility as AI (assuming you can aim/hit the shots directly) and are TR's best anti-max weapon. That's why they're ahead in the base kills category. They're nothing special at their designed role though.
>>122367879

See previous answer. Probably because they couldn't stick it anywhere else, and for some reason even now Infils can't use it.
>>122368010
I don't actually remember anyone using kills or kpu to argue TR being underpowered here in forever. you should probably start doing that to support your agenda
>>122368092
I see you agree about Pounders needing a nerf against infantry.

I don't dispute that but this is a washed down purple, much better then the garish spotty camo's in my opinion.

Why not, when HAs can carry two bricks, a full bando of HA grenades, and several rockets?
Light Assaults are annoying in good hands but they can't do that much, if you get hit from above it's your own fault.
Protip, if you've ever played Light Assault you'll know that C4 has this weird laggy droptime and if the tank decides to drive away while you're planting at anything other than point blank, you're fucked.

>>122369260
>actually caring about your stats in this shitty game
>>122369260

You know, there's a way to measure an actual applicable performance metric.
Take the quartiles like oraclestats does, average the accuracy and HSR for each quartile, then use it to calculate a weapon's DPS for that quartile.
Doing this you can start seeing how changes to a weapons stats actually effect the DPS that players experience.

>>122369445
don't know man. some weapons are meant for and used more for longer range fighting, which naturally gives them lower accuracy stats in practice. my armistice for instance have a lot higher accuracy and HSR than my Bull even though the Bull is far more accurate
>>122369590

It has nothing to do with how good weapons are. SMG's for example have a lot higher average accuracy because people use them at point blank yet you will perform 3 times better with LMG because you can kill people past 20m.

KPH and KPU aren't perfect metrics either. Instead of asking for perfection, you need to start realizing that you'll never get it.

Yes I'm sure my KDR would be as low as yours, random shitter, if I didn't bail out of my esf like I occasionally do. This is nothing but a desperate tactic to prevent my KDR from dropping because it's just so difficult to get kills in an ESF before being shot down, I would never be able to maintain it otherwise.

If I get shot down, it's typically by a pilot who is good enough at aiming that I don't have the chance to bail, being attacked by multiple esf while concentrating on something else, getting Daltoned by a liberator crew, or suddenly dunked by multiple sources of ground based AA. So yeah, only occasionally.
If you pay attention to what's going on and don't do risky things unless fire suppression if off cooldown, it's very difficult to be shot down by sources that give you a chance to bail. In the occasion that someone gets lucky and catches me in a bad situation, such as a lock on missile in the middle of nowhere while at half health and no fire suppression, then the satisfaction of bailing and denying them the kill is worth running light assault in almost every situation.

Alright, who the fuck is posting in that /pol/ thread
I know you are here
>>122385431
>It's a combination of kpm/kdr/ivi score
But the game is too big for that to work.
On my main, I have 1.3 KPM, 4.5 KDR and ~450 IVI score.
Now, a low IVI score would mean I'm weak in 1v1 (and, seeing my decently high KDR/KPM, that I'm good at farming shitters), but it is not representative, since it is lowered by the fact that I shoot at long range very often with close/medium range guns, even if I have low chance of getting a kill. In 1v1, I perform about as well as a player with ~1k IVI (non-padded of course), but you really wouldn't think that by just looking at my stats.
tl;dr: this game is a big mess and all and any statsbar HTPMare irrelevant

Those are above average stats and nothing to be ashamed of

Why?
>I perform about as well as a player with ~1k IVI (non-padded of course), but you really wouldn't think that by just looking at my stats
You either prove it by getting good stats or you don't. If you're wanting validation of your skill as a player but not willing to reflect it what's the point of saying that? You're pretty much saying 'I'm a better player than my stats would suggest but I just don't try'
Personally I feel that there is no middle ground. You can play stats game or you can play completely ambivalent to them and here you're just coming off as the type of superior underachiever who says they can do better but wont prove it
Either go hard and reach that top 1% or just shoot planetmans and enjoy the game

>Can you explain what you mean by this? Do you literally mean the size of the maps and distance/time you need to get in fights?
That would also be a factor, but I meant thatironicallythere's too many things you can do in the game for global KDR/KPM/IVI to be valid indicators of skill.
It would make sense in a game like CS or old arena shooters.
>Those are above average stats and nothing to be ashamed of
Don't think I said anything about being ashamed of them.
And btw, those stats aren't above average, those are top ~2%.
>>since it is lowered by the fact that I shoot at long range very often with close/medium range guns
>Why?
Alright, say I get 35% acc and 40% HSR in close range fights. My "real" IVI score is 1400.
When spamming a carbine at long range, I'll get 20% acc and HSR; if you factor those into my total acc and HSR stats, my "real" IVI score will be lower than the IVI score I'd get by exclusively fighting at close range.If you meant why I shoot at long range when I won't get the kill: forfun.
>You either prove it by getting good stats or you don't. If you're wanting validation of your skill as a player but not willing to reflect it what's the point of saying that?
That's the thing, I don't need validation. I don't namefag and very rarely post screenshots and webms (only when I have something relevant to contribute), I don't post on reddit, etc.

>You're pretty much saying 'I'm a better player than my stats would suggest but I just don't try'
No, I meant that you can't just judge a player by looking at their stats, therefore stats are irrelevant. Sure, there is correlation between stats and actual skill, but it's far from being final.
>Personally I feel that there is no middle ground. You can play stats game or you can play completely ambivalent to them and here you're just coming off as the type of superior underachiever who says they can do better but wont prove it
Again, no need to prove anything.However, I do have a BR 74 on which I exclusively play for stats, and I have 12.8 IVI KDR, 1.8 KPM and 1350 IVI score on that character, so there's that.
>Either go hard and reach that top 1% or just shoot planetmans and enjoy the game
Top 1% is really not hard.
No funposting here, I honestly believe 90% of /ps2g/ is in the top 5% of players. Seriously, the average pubbie is worse than a bot on very easy.
Again, I do just shot planetmans and try to enjoy the game, that was my point. Stats are irrelevant.

>People are kept ignorant by design, it's hard to blame them.
and
>Nah, the fact that modern technologies require such detailed and specific education means you can highly educate a person in a certain area without them having a broad understanding of the issues in the wider world. It's self-reinforcing too - since these technically demanding jobs taken on by the most intelligent people tend to absorb almost all of their mental energy. Nuclear physicists with no basis of civics, history, economics. Economic analysts with no understanding of climate or political science.

>That would also be a factor, but I meant that ironically there's too many things you can do in the game for global KDR/KPM/IVI to be valid indicators of skill.
It would make sense in a game like CS or old arena shooters
Ah I got you. I feel like that's why people tend to lean more towards one of the stats instead of all of them at once. To me planetside is very much so a game where each person has different goals and skills for achieving those goals
>No, I meant that you can't just judge a player by looking at their stats, therefore stats are irrelevant. Sure, there is correlation between stats and actual skill, but it's far from being final.
You cant judge their overall skill level but you can still infer quite a bit from their play-style and to a lesser extent their capability
>Again, I do just shot planetmans and try to enjoy the game, that was my point. Stats are irrelevant.
Well then I'll agree with you there but for me personally I use my stats as a gauge to determine what works best for me and to find any noticeable improvements in my play. I have the most fun in this game by auraxiom'ing weapons and getting fun directive guns to use and after the first ~200 kills I can reasonably figure out the amount of time it would take to finish it

If you're cobalt don't even bother playing tonight, TR have a massive pop advantage and are just red-tiding everything. Every hill has a platoon of infs on it. The sky is thick with piltos and every doorway is a constant explosion of 120mm shells.

this is really frustrating. they know this is a problem but aren't doing shit about it.
>>122392447
Extend max damage range to at least 15m
Give 0 standing COF
Maybe 0/0 recoil angle
That still won't make the average player perform good with them, but anything more would make them overpowered.

The problem with battle rifles is that in the hands of someone great they are fucking beasts at all ranges, the entry requirements for being good with them are just really high compared to most other weapons.
They do need to fix the directives for them though, let the infiltrators use them at the very least, playing a class extensively and exclusively to unlock a weapon they can't use? It's a kick in the teeth.
>>122371743
Laser, every fucking time. You're mostly going to be hipfiring the commie, and the extra accuracy is crucial.
You can learn to see cloaked infils. You can't learn to make a commie more accurate than the game makes it

you get literally nothing, a gun costs 1000 certs, a character upgrade (flak armor for example) costs 1500 certs and you earn about 30 - 50 certs per hour of playing. Do the math. The grind in this game is the heaviest out of any multiplayer game i've ever played, even worse than World of Tanks.

A usual armor upgrade goes something like this:
5 stages: 10 certs, 30 certs, 100 certs, 200 certs, 1000 certs. Roughly 1340 certs to get that upgrade. Which is a fuckhuge amount of certs. And that armor upgrade makes you more resistant to damage. So until you get it you will be dying much more often. There's a huge disparity between a new player and a veteran, the new player not only sucks at the game because he doesn't know shit but every piece of equipment the vet has is better. Newbs get 1 grenade - vets get 4. Newbs have no c4, vets get 2. Vets get 25% damage reduction, newbs don't Vets guns are objectively better etc. The game is just structured super bad. The exact same thing applies to vehicles. If the game was any decent there would be different tiers, where newbs would play against newbs and vets against vets. The entire game is structured around getting XP - getting certs, so that your character can be better. But you'll quit long before you get those certs out of straight boredom from playing the game with a gimped character. Tribes Ascend died a similar death as this game.
>>122397450
Getting "all" the upgrades for a vehicle / class is an enormous investment for a player who isn't paying for membership or part of an outfit that is. Viewing the certifications page for a vehicle or class, for most players, is like viewing a huge list of stuff you will never have. That's what put me off from playing this game. Maybe if there was a system where you could refund certs? And redistribute them into different stuff? Well doesn't matter now, that won'r be implemented ever desu. /rant
>>122397978
and by "all" i meant one maxed out cert for every slot, a "cookie cutter" vehicle / class.

Not enough weapon/item descriptions are silly.
You know, it's nice to actually be able to stay on one continent for a long time instead of it getting locked the moment the alert happens. I missed this old feeling from beta.

See, that's where you're wrong. Statistically speaking, vet is ~20% better than a newb, solely based on unlocks. It really isn't that important.
What matters is skill/experience, that's what will set one an order of magnitude above the other.
Again, most of what you said is wrong, but I can't be bothered of typing it all out and telling you why it is.
Out of curiosity, how much time have you played?

Horrendous horizontal recoil, ridiculously long reloads, insane cone of fire, atrocious bloom - those are the real TR faction traits.
Basically, whenever a Terran player switches to dramatically overpowered Vanu or NC, he performs substantially better. SUBSTANTIALLY.
