literally ded thred edition
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 [Open]

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 shiney dildo's on the front. Hope you got your useless Auraxium Slasher while you could, you special snowflake you.

Ever since I reinstalled this game last week, my computer has been slow as fuck.
Now, whenever I try to play, after a minute the game crashes and I get an error message saying my computer is low on memory and had to shut it down.
What the fuck did this fucking game do.
Am I now an Honorburu Infantry Planetmans now? I feel like going back to my GD-7F.
Snowmans when? I want to use my Terran holiday hat.

Use the GRB (literally the best gun in the game, tied with the T1BB) or the Reaper if you really like big boolet.
When you're able to consistently shit all over chucklefucks like AC, switch to HA (or whatever the situation requires) and you'll be pretty much unstoppable.
>>123511618
>Rebel instead of Commissioner
Rebel is the best sidearm in the game. Sure, Commish OHSKs infilshits at close range, but it's very situational and worse in literally any other situation.
>Shitsaw instead of Anchor
Anchor is literally a shitter's gun, it has 4% higher DPS than the GD-22S but is worse in every other way.
Only a turboshitter would actually want to use the Anchor over the GD-22S.

So anyway this piece of shit game went from running at 60+ on high/max to constant stuttering and hitching to the point that it's unplayable.
I reinstalled it on my SSD incase it was randomly having some kind of hard drive issue, and that didn't do anything.
What the fuck could be causing this shit because I'm basically done after the SSD reinstall.
>>123512058
I actually play Engineer 70% of the time, I use the GD7F with a silencer. I've auraxed that gun about 3 times over now. I've got a Fortuna and auraxed the Warden... recently I have been working on the Archer because dunking MAX units is fun.
I honestly only did HA long enough to get the GODSAW so I could say I had it. I did like the GD-22s quite a bit more than the Anchor though, you were right there. I am enjoying the GODSAW though.
>>123512058
>Only true honorabu infantry planetman is combat medic.
ARs are the biggest crutch guns in the game. Good for babbies who can't burst fire or compensate vertical recoil.

Exclusively run one life mode in the Valkyrie as cloaker and fly into the NC/VS engagements and camp. Stalker cloaks for urban deployments and hunter cloak for mountains. Like I said this is one life mode and from the Valkyrie deployment we move onto hacking any vehicle terminal, if we can't respawn the valk we spawn flash bikes and follow the the backs of either the NC or the VS.
This is the most fun way to play planetside 2. Take this technique and apply it to your own clan if you lead one.

>>123536226
>one-hit kill
With a chamber time and semi only so if you miss you don't get a kill and usually long reloads.
>at extreme range
Most fights are in the mid to close range and at these 'extreme ranges' you're just as likely to get one-shot by any AP or HE
>on a class that can go invisible
With a very loud steath sound and if you're not running suppressor after the first shot anyone can glean where you're positioned and take according cover or flank you
Also if you want to take a suppressor so you remain stealthy you sacrifice a lot of velocity
>OHK long range noskill guns
The velocity on most of the more basic rifles such as the bolt driver are fairly high but accounting for drop and velocity at moving targets especially with this 'lol clientside cloak without delay' is not 'no-skill'
Unfortunately due to the fact that netcode remains an unsolved problem and that planetside is actually pretty incredible in terms of netcode there's still those janky moments where it will seem like an infiltrator will uncloak and shoot faster than you can react. I agree that's a big problem but this is like peekers advantage and is a huge problem in just about all games, including battlefield
>no scope reflection like in BF games
I don't really have anything to say on this considering that I think it makes it easier to snipe
Essentially: use cover better, learn how to move quickly from cover to cover and learn how to judge where they are from one shot

But of all your points, the last one actually hooked me. Nobody bitches about bolt-actions in or near buildings, it's that they totally shut down open-field infantry fights where there's little or no cover. Balanced or not, that's just not fun.
>>123541368
>it's that they totally shut down open-field infantry fights
This is my main issue.
They're the one class that would cause the game to improve, if they were removed. I just want those long range infantry fire-fights, instead of some cunt on a hill 500m away with his 12x scope cloaking and fucking it over.
>>123541856
Stop whining, baddie. Either switch to infil and kill them or get in a vehicle where you're safe from the mean infiltrator who kills you.
>>123541368
>it's that they totally shut down open-field infantry fights where there's little or no cover
That's where vehicles come in honestly
>They're the one class that would cause the game to improve, if they were removed
That's really not going to change much of anything honestly. Long range infiltrators plinking at targets rarely have noticeable impact
>just pray they miss
>just pray they don't know how to lead
Well it's very much so a risk vs reward system and gambling on people not being able to place shots on a moving target usually pays off
>just pray they're at range where you can shoot them back
>just pray you hear them over the din of war
These are just silly. You can clearly tell the sounds apart unless you're in a 96+ and they're never going to be over 200m away. If you're getting killed by an infiltrator 500m away you have bigger problems
>>123522970
I just watched you miss everyone of those shots because you're a shitter.
>>123545236
What you actually just watched was him toggling netlimiter right after he started getting shot at
>>123545295
You could have been in perfect lag situations and you still wouldn't have killed him. You're hip firing an LMG and for the vast majority of the time your crosshair is to the side of him. You can see the sparks on the box behind him!
You need to learn to track targets better and use your knife more.
>>123545423
>You can see the sparks on the box behind him!

>That's where vehicles come in honestly
fine, but I can at least see or hear a vehicle coming except if it's a cancerflash, and honestly I'm a mite less annoyed about dying to something that costs resources
>Long range infiltrators plinking at targets rarely have noticeable impact
This is both false and a red herring; bolts don't need to be at very long range to be effective, since you can cloak and move away after taking a shot, most effective at mid-long range
>Well it's very much so a risk vs reward system and gambling on people not being able to place shots on a moving target usually pays off
Pays off how? What's the reward in this gamble, escaping his line of fire? Whoop-de-doo, the outside is still shut down because his crosshairs are glued to the doorway. The only combative infantry playstyle that isn't risk vs. reward is sniper infiltrator - it's just /reward/. Or mine-engineer, but that at least costs resources
>and they're never going to be over 200m away
200m is already well beyond effective range for most semi-autos and all autos. Maybe if you have the monkey's paw you can put the fear of God in him, but it won't 1HK at that range, and he'll cloak and move off as soon as he takes a hit.
>>123545752
>fine, but I can at least see or hear a vehicle coming except if it's a cancerflash, and honestly I'm a mite less annoyed about dying to something that costs resources
Unless you die to the first shot you're going to have enough time to not get killed at any range
>This is both false and a red herring; bolts don't need to be at very long range to be effective, since you can cloak and move away after taking a shot, most effective at mid-long range
Not really sure what you're talking about here. An infil putting down motion sensors and throwing emps is going to have far more of an impact than one at mid-long range plinking at targets
>Pays off how? What's the reward in this gamble, escaping his line of fire? Whoop-de-doo, the outside is still shut down because his crosshairs are glued to the doorway. The only combative infantry playstyle that isn't risk vs. reward is sniper infiltrator - it's just /reward/. Or mine-engineer, but that at least costs resources
Killing him? Getting away? Are you seriously completely useless against one infiltrator staring at a doorway? What the fuck?

>fuck you, we don't need no infilbabby apologists here
Apologists? You're out of your gourd man. If it takes six infiltrators to kill one guy you've clearly missed the point of when I was talking about impact. These are six people that aren't going for objectives and probably aren't using any motion darts/detectors. They may get a kill on you once in a while but they wont do anything worthwhile
Have you tried using your minimap more? You realize you can zoom it out to try to at least become familiar with where the enemy is, where the terrain and possible flank points are, and where decent sniper spots may be just from a second or two of looking at it
Like I'm not trying to be an asshole here it's just you're actually suggesting they remove infiltrator because you get shot out of position sometimes. I sometimes get domed by infiltrators but instead of getting pissed off and yelling they should be removed I went about trying to get hit less
>>123545925
>what
look, my point is there's a range of effectiveness at which BASRs operate, that outclasses any other weapon, and this makes sense in that it's a real life tactic and has a place in the grand scheme of the war for Auraxis - but that doesn't make it fun to deal with. I can get killed by a vehicle or another planetman and chalk it up to my own incompetence, or at the very least Clegg's bloody map design, but getting pegged by a sniper feels irritating in that there's nothing I can really do to prevent it other than "don't go where they go", which, thanks to their range and non-cost, is EVERYWHERE. I'm not complaining about "balance" because I wouldn't know, I'm complaining because this shit is draining and makes me not want to play anymore. The quest for self-improvement ends here, and so begins the Road of Masochism, where you die repeatedly to crowds of potshotting boltshitters because someone told you you wouldn't die to them if you just quit bitching and got gud.
You mentioned EMP/Dildar infs, and I hate them too, but for different reasons and it's nothing dealbreaking since I like to roll with sensor shield.
>>123546834
>Have you tried using your minimap more?
stop trying to imply those you reply to are as retarded as you are. minimap doesn't do shit when people shoot at you from outside of minimap detection range.
what you need to realize is that this isn't about any sort of "impact" or macro balance level. this is all about how it's incredibly unfun to get instagibbed with no possible counter or way to avoid it other than the usual infilbabby apologist "advice" of "just don't go to 90% of the map lol".
>>123547026
> but getting pegged by a sniper feels irritating in that there's nothing I can really do to prevent it other than "don't go where they go", which, thanks to their range and non-cost, is EVERYWHERE
They really aren't though. The enemy snipers are only in a position where they can shoot at the enemy from which is not everywhere. It may seem like it but at most bases on quite a few of the continents with some exceptions you can make a logical guess as to the best place where they will be at a certain fight because as you said they do outclass weapons at that range. You may run into the odd sniper in a strange spot which may be a bit frustrating but again this is someone clearly not adding any impact and being useless
>I'm complaining because this shit is draining and makes me not want to play anymore
>where you die repeatedly to crowds of potshotting boltshitters because someone told you you wouldn't die to them if you just quit bitching and got gud
I mean honestly I feel for you. I've heard countless other people say almost nearly exactly what you're saying and I do sympathize but snipers are something you learn to deal with. I had nearly thousands of hours in battlefield 2 where I felt exactly like that
Also fuck the word limit I'm already running out of words
Is this game any better yet? By better I mean can I play it without wanting someone to end my suffering?

The zoomed out minimap is completely adequate for 90% of snipers and I'm not talking entirely about them showing up on it but looking at the terrain and guessing where they are from there
>what you need to realize is that this isn't about any sort of "impact" or macro balance level. this is all about how it's incredibly unfun to get instagibbed with no possible counter or way to avoid it other than the usual infilbabby apologist "advice" of "just don't go to 90% of the map lol".
I understand and you should see my above post. But seriously you think that infiltrators can cover far more than they can. Next time you get shot ask yourself if you could have been in a better position to get shot. Can you honestly tell me that every time an infiltrator killed you it was a completely unfair position and that you had NOTHING you could have done to better position yourself?
>>123547434
>you had NOTHING you could have done to better position yourself
>other than the usual infilbabby apologist "advice" of "just don't go to 90% of the map lol"
fuck you infilbabby is the second most played class in the game and you will usually see around 20% of all players in the average battle play it, and most of these use sniper rifles so no "stay inside the warpgate/spawnroom" isn't proper advice to avoid getting shot by this was horde of unwashed scum. this has made a completely retarded general movement meta where no-one can stand still for more than a second. I can literally not stand still for more than 1-2 seconds in any fps game any more because I've played this game for too long
>>123547295
Yes, most bases are safe, by virtue of being so small or closed in, but the fight isn't always in a base. Some of my favorite no-man's-lands are perfect for protracted meatgrinders if the conditions are right, but instead of "impact" as you like to call it being distributed evenly among the classes, it lays squarely on the shoulders of the boltbabby because they remain at uncontestable range. And shit, I don't want to just *redeploy*; a really good fight has just turned to dust in my hands because of this nonsense. Unless I pull a vehicle or, god forbid, an infiltrator myself. Balanced? Maybe. Fun? lol
I'd like to believe this is the game for me, and sometimes it really feels the part, but long-range instant-kill invisible infantry, among other things, is something I'd simply rather not deal with. Kinda locks out most of the fun of playing a grunt. The logical solution is to switch to a playstyle that I just don't want to play. Oh well.
>fuck you infilbabby is the second most played class in the game
Calm the fuck down you retarded mongoloid
>"stay inside the warpgate/spawnroom" isn't proper advice
Never said that once. Stop putting words in my mouth
Honestly you're never going to improve or have fun. You refuse to listen to a single thing I've said and you're never going to ask questions to yourself on how to better your play or begin to think on your own of any way to do better
>>123548040
It does suck having the perfect meatgrinder and losing it but getting killed once doesn't completely take you out of the fight. I still don't entirely agree that they're uncontestable at range but you're going to just chalk that up as me saying 'git gud' so what's the point

>Never said that once
yes you did. you keep giving the obtuse advice of "position yourself better lol", but we both know the reality of it is that with how many people play infilcancer the only place you can position yourself is to completely avoid getting suddenly 0HK from a lucky babbyshot is inside the spawnroom. everything else is just lowering the chance of getting instagibbed and still comes down to
>just pray they miss
>>123548490
Honestly I don't know then dude
I have a third of your playtime on my main and the most deaths I have by any bolt gun is 98 with the ghost at my 20th most died to gun
I always find myself flanking big nests of snipers or see tracers coming from a mountain and just run up and shoot the guy
I really don't know what else to say aside from git gud though, not just in your play but in your attitude. Boltguns are hardly the cheapest way to kill someone and I cannot possibly imagine getting this frustrated over getting headshot by a bolt rifle
I guess I played too much cs and got used to getting one deaged from across every map

>I really don't know what else to say aside from git gud though, not just in your play but in your attitude. Boltguns are hardly the cheapest way to kill someone and I cannot possibly imagine getting this frustrated over getting headshot by a bolt rifle
You know what, I get you, I really do. I can buckle down and git gud, but when the bullets start whizzing past my head I never shake the feeling of "imagine a world where I can leave a base and not have to worry about bolt actions and just focus on dodging vehicles and shotting mans." If this is something you can't empathize with, then fine.
>>123549319
I can empathize with that
For me it's more 'Imagine a world where there were some fun outfits to play with on emerald NC'
>>123549487
Oh you're on memerald, neat. All the fun outfits are TR, but if I was NC I'd probably look at VCO first
>>123549319
Different person here. I agree with you that snipers don't seem fair to some people, they sit off up a mountain somewhere cloaked taking potshots at people in building.
But they do have a purpose, they're there to keep everyone moving and at that they do an excelent job. They're by no means unbalanced as it only take a few stray shots from an LMG or rifle to either dislodge them from their perch or outright kill them.
It's part of the game, "Shoot mans, dodge vehicles, keep moving."
>>123549618
Man I envy those tr outfits
I always end up fighting joke and blops doing dumb shit and it looks really fun although I rarely see N on and whenever I join their ts they're always in private channels
VCO does look alright but I dont mind flying solo. Gives me more time to do lightning stuff

>>123548823
What you don't seem to realise, is that the issue isn't dying to snipers, it's how they impact the meta of the game - making it shit. >>123547948 sums it up well. "this has made a completely retarded general movement meta where no-one can stand still for more than a second".
It's not that one dies to infiltrators, it's that by process of not dying, one has to behave in ways that fuck over the fun of the game. How great it'd be to have genuine long range infantry fights. As is, there's no point so one just avoids the very idea of one, due to the knowledge that they'll get OHK by a boltbabby, or it'll be some strafing match. They're an entirely self serving class. No fun to fight against, add little to the objective (unless you quantify creating the "never stop moving" thing as contributing), and only serve to make boltbabies feel good about themselves.
You seem to keep trying to sum up the argument as "you're upset you got killed, git gud lol". That is not it.
>>123550603
>"this has made a completely retarded general movement meta where no-one can stand still for more than a second".
This is not just the case for bolt actions. Standing completely still doing nothing is generally bad in any fps,
>No fun to fight against
debatable
>and only serve to make boltbabies feel good about themselves
I don't care about how other people have their fun in this game and you're the one that's summing my entire argument up to "you're upset you got killed, git gud lol"
>>123550603
I'd like to disagree with your point. You seem to be wanting infantry battles in Planetside to be like Napoleonic era warfare which is a bit retarded to put it mildly.
I think snipers are plenty fun to fight against because they make you flank, snipers only cover the obvious position.
They're also a valuable team asset. Recon darts and motion trackers are almost broken they're so useful, they cover doors and alleys in attacks so you can advance, and they do counter-sniper work.
You seem to have this notion stuck in your head that everything would be better if everyone played the game the way you want it to be played.
>>123551086
To also extend my point, without snipers every infantry battle in the field would be two lines of doods popping their heads up over a hill, taking pot shots at each others heads. This sounds boring as fuck.
>>123551220
but this is already exactly what's happening. only those two lines of dudes are all infiltrators. boring as fuck

Depends on which faction and server that platoon would be. And if you insist on using voice chat or not.
You could all just join CLAB though. Even GustavoM is a member of CLAB!

All of my shit is on Memerald, and is that pro-voip or anti-voip sentiment?
Voice chat is pretty important in achieving social bonds, it just needs to be regulated for prolofic memesters.
>>123558334
>is that pro-voip or anti-voip sentiment?
Anti voip. There are too many people in a platoon. Even if you try to limit what they can say in voice chat you'll still have people talking constantly. It would be annoying as fuck.

>Game is not fun why am i playing
Even in the best server - Miller - where all the tryhards farm each other on a daily basis, game has never been more fun. There's a reason we've been playing 1000h++ in this game faggets, because its fucking fun. Because even if you get mad at every person who kills you, and focus only on these shitters, youre forgetting how fucking awesome this game STILL IS REGARDLESS.
>game is ruined by shitters with [insert random weapon/medkits/russians/lockons]
Game is alive because of it, because PEOPLE CAN GIT GOOD AT THE GAME. If its ruined by anything, its your retardeness and bitterness.
There are crutches and there are tools. If you use all the tools the game provides, you git good. Its not easy to git good, thats why people fucking still play this. Some cry and leave, others git really good.
>caring about stats
If your only goal in life is to have a kdr of 5 with a heavy, fucking tell your parents up stairs to gass you out of your basement. (this relates to next point) Solo fags like you who rush into a 50/50 fight to ruin it just to farm their Mag/beetle/ns-15, sticking only to defenses because they yield the kdr, you're literal cancer to this game. You are also the reason Indar T is such a fucking issue. You farm those bases and at the same time destroy any incentive for any commander to attack a base thats on the T.
>If you're providing gameplay for your fellow planetmans, in other words if you're leading proper squads/platoons
You are the only reason new players stick around and actually enjoy the game. As much as I hate that faggot Fluttyman he provides good experiences for his platoons. Eventho hes a total faggot that just uses the given platoons so he can go farm.

>>123566050
Net average in this game is between 0.8 and 1.2 KDR assuming you aren't purely staying in spawn rooms and redeploying out when the base is about to go down.
Anything above 1.2 puts you in the above average category, anything about or above 2.0 puts you well above average and very, VERY few players ever manage consistently higher than 4.0 in purely infantry play unless they exclusively bolt from very far away. Vehicles are another story, but it is relatively hard to get very high KDRs with them anymore since for the most part their AE splash weapons have been very heavily nerfed.
If you want to go pure "Look muh KDR" get in a Viper Lightning and find a farm, but don't expect anyone to give a damn.
