Question still stands
Fuck years later and still no lightning buff
We made it through a thread in under two days
I'm proud of you /ps2g/
Construction has actually introduced a decent meta beyond "kill mans"
turtling is a viable strategy if you actually care about continent wins.
If construction doesn't win people over again this is probably the last big weekend people are gonna have. Make the most of it.
>reinstalled this game immediately after playing Dirty Bomb
>Old character is Vanu
>weapons feel like shitty plastic toys, can't get a single kill
>switch to the NS7, immediately get 6 kills
Oh god please send help.
Does Vanu have any weapons that don't suck massive dick, or do I have to use these shitty neutral weapons?
I'm rank 10 and have been trying to use the lightning tank as often as my resources let me. This thing is actually kind of shitty. The explosion's hitbox is smaller than it looks like it is, it's weird. Does shitty damage, too. I'm not sure what this thing is supposed to be good for. It's decent for killing infantry but it has paper thin defense and gets wrecked by any sort of focused fire. One sunderer with both guns manned can blow it up before it can kill them. I try to only expose the front to the enemy when possible and keep moving without exposing the back when I can't take potshots with only the front armor showing.
>>140511052
>build 6 hexes away from the objective
>wonder why you lose the alert
Clearly a problem with the construction system.
>>140527746
It's cheap. The MBT is objectively better, but an AP lightning is good if you just really need some armor right now.
As an MBT is expensive and require a link to a tech plant, you may not always have one.

Bases being largely irrelevant ISN'T a problem with the system? Sorry, what?
Inb4 yadda yadda, every single base I've ever seen in the middle of the road to where I needed to go was smashed to pieces by an armor column. I don't give a single shit how the clever players of your superior server use them, this is what I've seen on my server.

The only thing they have going for them is 40 rounds. VS have the Terminus, and NC has a tool for every situation. Reaper DMR is one of the most OP weapons in the game; a long range weapon with TTK and handling of a CQC one

HOLY FUCKING SHIT
This is amazing on so many fucking levels! I haven't touched PS2 in months and now I am downloading it as I type.
This construction/resource system was exactly what I fucking wanted
Are there any differences between factions? Are those turrets automated? How much of a raise did the team get that pushed for this idea?

>>140537989
your post isn't serious, right? because I'm not sure if I should answer
>>140537978
No, we hate bad things. They have been working on this for what, half a year?
Granted, it's unexpectedly bug-free, but there's literally only a dozen look pieces to play with, balance is completely fucked, zerging is encouraged, and once the hype dies down we'll be back to shotting mans as usual.
That's half a year of wasted dev time. Yay.

>There's a reason they went a little on the small side for deployables
I don't care if they've done it for a reason or on a whim, I'm judging the result.
Reminder that the biggest reason everyone uses Resist shields rather than Adrenaline, is entirely due to the fact that ASC+Medkit spam lets you get to 100% health + shield + overshield resist bonus health in the span of ~2-3 seconds.
>>140543624
Reminder that Resist is still more balanced than "press F for extra health" anyways.
Also that's just as much a problem with medkits being fucked.
>>140527746
The Viper should have its magazine size increased so it can fire more shots before reloading, and its explosion graphics made smaller so it doesn't look like it'll rape everything it shoots at, which it won't.
The reason it looks like it makes huge explosions is because it used to actually do that, but they nerfed it without changing how it looks.
>tfw might actually use my Harasser now that it can look like a half decent halo ripoff instead of the fucking stupid hotwheels car it is stock

G2A or deci
CAN'T WAIT
TO

BACK
(cucked again by exams)
>>140544390
Higher rank resist. Then either deci or G2A.
I would have gone either nanoweave or ASC but i guess some people prefer flak
>>140546095
I've thought about ASC, but it only really reduces my downtime, which is completely irrelevant if I don't survive the engagement. I've got the overshield on when I'm expecting to be shot, when I get jumped, nanoweave isn't gonna help me much, whereas flak should save me from mines, grenades, launchers and some vehicles.
I just tested the lock on launcher and I'm absolutely not impressed. Does it seriously take 3 hits to kill an ESF, or 2 hits and some LMG fire I guess. Considering the duration and range of the locking mechanic I'm better off plinking with the LMG I guess. So, decimator it is, I prefer killing people instead over making them fuck off.
How many ranks of the resist shield are reasonable? I could max it out, buy the launcher and then still have some right now. But more shield up time doesn't really add to my effectiveness all that much, so I guess I'll bump it up to rank 3 for now and see if the 12 seconds ever run out.
What about the concussion grenade, how many people are running clear vision and how much of an advantage does it usually yield when trying to rush a room? When I get hit by one I bump up my G400's DPI two notches and can maneuver as usual, not really aim, but get away. How does it look from the other end, couple free kills or is it mostly just suicide? Is it even advisable with less than 100 bullets in the magazine?
I just bought the anti armor cannon for my Prowler. Wew lads. I can't believe what a difference it makes. What's the best secondary gun for a Prowler to shoot for next?
What's the best hipfire weapon regardless of faction?
>>140547681
Vulcan for attempting to go toe to toe with enemy armor.
Gatekeeper for being deployed on a hell 3 hexes from the fight.Marauder when you're mowing down infantry, which you shouldn't be doing in an AP Prowler.
>All four continents on Emerald are unlocked

>>140547681
Gatekeeper for magriders.

There a group for TR on Emerald?
I've been wondering for a while now, what's aim tendency?
>actually have to wait in queue
What is this, an mmo?
>>140549469
lol
>>140547646
Well reducing downtime with ASC is good for when you actually do git gud. less time waiting for shields to recharge = more time shotting mans. Flak is okayish but really situational. It doesn't have any effect if you are shot directly with a tank shell or rocket. Prox mines you shouldn't be running into anyway, always check around building entrances/near stairs etc.
The G2A launcher isn't going to net you many kills, sure. But it will generally make air fuck off for a bit, particularly if your allies are also using it. The good thing about it is it can also be dumb-fired, so its versatile enough to be used against vehicles as well.
Deci is also great against air, but only if you can lead and aim. It really shines as anti-MAX though, so it's never a bad choice, just not as versatile as G2A.
I'd at least get the second to last rank of Resist, again more uptime = more time killing things.
Conc. Grenades are alright in small buildings, but that's about it. Usually you will always be better served just sticking with frags.
>>140549535
I'm glad you found my joke amusing
>>140548226

>>140527746
get the AP cannon. Lightning is honestly the most difficult vehicle to use solo. its designed to be used in groups.
if you want to be le epig lone wolf ace, get in an ESF.
>>140547873
the baron
>>140550545
lol
>>140549671
Can't always avoid mines, especially claymores or friendly mines dropped behind you under fire, bleh. As for HE tanks and rockets, I'm dying to splash damage a lot more than to direct hits and I don't expect to eat a rocket to the face without the overshield anyway.
I've already decided against the G2A launcher, the decimator is better in every regard, except hitting ESFs that don't want to be hit.
>>140547646
ASC is only good when you're running resist.
It's there so that if you can break LOS for a few seconds, and chug a medkit, then you can kill another mans or two with your resist shield on and max health.
Whereas anyone else who's pressured like that has to fight with reduced health. This, in combination with an infinite ammogun like the betelgeuse, effectively allows you to play without any real balance constraints on engagement time, pressure, tempo, ammo, etc. You are always fighting at 100% where anyone else would be pausing for shields, reloading, looking for a medic, etc.
That's why all the tryhards play vanu heavy assault and use the betelgeuse.
>>140551534

>>140551534
>without any real balance constraints on engagement time
To maximise kills per minute? I'm not really interested in that. I prefer taking it somewhat slow and being in control of when to engage and when to reload/regen shield.
Would it make sense to run a high tier regen implant along with ASC, to be less dependent on med kits? Or do I stick with battle hardened?

If you're shitter scum who likes the easy life, and don't want any good gunners, get the gatekeeper. It's extremely boring to man, so generally I've noticed people who know what they're doing will avoid it.
If you're a cool guy who likes shooting vehicles (and people) from range while locked down, go halberd. If you're a cool guy who likes fighting way up close with fire suppression instead, then go vulcan.

>gatekeeper is so good TR players literally think it's boring to use
>It's still used on every single vehicle that can mount it
>aparently you can't warp to a populated continent if a large portion of your faction is on that WG
>>140555381
Not really. It's just that it's a frustrating weapon to be up against, I'm pretty sure that's where the hate stems from. That's my primary issue with it whenever I'm on my alts at least. The damage from the gunners perspective isn't particularly good, it's just extremely consistent in delivering said damage.
It's a weapon designed for shitters to do well with. If you know how to aim better, it's a bore. Rather be 1 shotting shitties with my halberd than plinking at a sunderer for 5 minutes. The reason that it's mounted on most vehicles, is that unsurprisingly, a huge percentage of the planetside playerbase are the exact same shitters that this weapon was designed for.
just got the terminus and soft point ammo, should I get a foregrip or the ALS for it?
>>140556065
Laser is a trap on anything other than SMGs and pistols, get the grip.

When vehicle hacking becomes a thing and VS acquires Prowlers. Deep down you know that VS players have compensated for nerfs by actually gittin gud, or as you'd put it, becoming "tryhards". TR on the other hand has spent all their efforts on getting VS nerfed and completely forgot to git even decent. There's a reason TR has the highest population on every server while VS has the lowest.

Actually this is a fairly solid critique of Anti-Infantry AI Turrets; They are slightly too effective and Attackers have no counter measure.
I think instead of Hacking the Turrets, which would probably end up flipping them, Infiltrators could be able to hack the MODULES to Disable them.
This would not only give Infiltrators more to do, it would allow Infantry many more options for Attacking.
>>140538256
>Turrets can be automated by placing an AI module next to them
>>140538421
Also be mindful that Turrets and Modules have a 20m interference zone with other structures of a similar type.
Repair and AI Modules have a larger effect radius, so you can group up to three turrets around a single one.
>>140542346
>>Can't build vehicle terminals
>>Can't build aircraft terminals
Fair point, but these can be tested later to implement.
Right now, the lack of Vehicle Spawns are kinda one of the few weaknesses of Player Built Bases, and requires them to rely on static, friendly owned positions in the event of a vehicle rush.
>>Can't link walls together or at least reliably build the without a gap that let's harassers through

HIVEs can lock down continents, so you are constantly getting Spec Op and Rambo types trying to take down your core.
>It could be good, it really could, but it's not. They have all the cookie cutter buildings, they just have to implement them as constructables.
Eh, I honestly don't think I'd WANT any of the prebuilt structures...

Is this game not ded? Is it a terrible idea to play as purpleman?
>>140560797
On Carlin we've been having one side build a base in the mountains where tanks and vehicles (and sometimes even anything but LA) can't get to it.
So what happens is both sides end up in a meat grinder over that base not getting anywhere while the third faction that isn't involved goes around ghost capping.
how's the vandal? I like the way it looks and I've always wanted to play infiltrator without a long distance sniper (I absolutely fucking hate scope sway and don't want to use the implant)
>>140565905
It's amazing
>>140565903
>Carlin
Eh?
>>140565895
Purplemans are the faggiest of the faggy, not because they're OP but because they're faction trait is to be as tryhard as fucking possible. Be prepared to be bitched at and stabbed in the back by a bunch of quake pros with 7.5 kds and perfect IVI scores.
Blues are retarded, but well meaning, still overall frustrating to play with.
Redmens are the current OP/Overpop kings, reigning supreme from their deployed prowlers. Of course they get double teamed almost constantly which means they're prone to lose a lot, which can be frustrating. Speaking of frustration, I hope you know chinese or russian, because depending on the server you chose you'll need to know those languages to speak to your fellow Redmens.
Fourthfaction is best faction, take no sides, swear no allegiances.
Also, the game is ded but less so thanks to this latest update. The pop will likely remain high for a while, but overall the downward trend will more than likely continue unabated.
>>140566450

>>140566585
fourth faction, 4th faction, as in not dedicated to TR, NC, or VS, you hop around and play whatever you fee like that day. It is the only way to play in my opinion, especially with the pop the way it is these days. Basically, you asked if you should go purp, and I said why not go purp, red, and blue all at once?
Don't worry about being shit at the game, 90% of everyone else is too (thats a generous estimate), just keep trying and learning and after two thousand hours you'll be a regular 1.5kd shitter.
>>140566849
If you plan to spend money Vandal is a good choice in case you ever decide to make an alt, you'll have a non-sniper gun to use.

Purplemans was the only character I had when I last played during, like, late beta. No tremendous attachment otherwise, though.

Should I go with the Warden as an NC engineer? I went with NC because I wanted less shots to kill shitters, but the 8 bodyshots/4 headshots of the Merc just isn't cutting it, and the Warden drops that in half.
>>140567124
I had a great time getting my first auraxium with the GD-7F and you can use it for both your engineer and light assault guy. I like the warden...but it's semi auto and if you want a short time to kill, GD-7F sounds better.

NS-7 PDW or MKV suppressed? Not sure what's the difference except for the suppressed part...

>>140570221
Well? Why didn't you do it? Initiative is the first step towards a solution
>>140571490
MKV has a ball hair more dps at point blank and relatively high velocity for a suppressed weapon.
PDW is (in my opinion) straight better.
>>140571852
Is the PDW still better if you suppress it?
>>140571881
Outside of something like 20 meters, so yes.
MKV is inherently flawed because it's a "close range" variant of a midrange SMG when an actual close range SMG outclasses it completely at the ranges it's designed for.
But who knows maybe you'll like it, personally I wasn't impressed.

only gun that's a legit upgrade over the starter is the trac5-B. no matter what gun you chose just get a foregrip, flash suppressor and 1x sight.
all the different jetpacks are situational and up to personal preferance, but I personally use the icarus jumpjets the most.
same with armour slots, nanoweave, ASC, flak and grenade bando are all useful. I personally mostly use nanoweave the most.
use whatever greandes you want, they all have their uses

You can make it near impassable to tanks with terrain, and spam enough air shields and turrets, and air isn't going near it either.
I started using flash suppressors and it's fucking awesome
I wish it came with fewer tracers too.
Also, I had my first chance building shit as NC today.
I sat there for 5 minutes trying to figure out how the fuck I build the turret deployable I bought. Left button? No. Right button? No. Middle mouse? No. Enter? No. Then I started pressing every button on my keyboard.
Turns out it was E.
As soon as I deployed my turret, the ANT next to me backed up from the cortium crystal with a full load, right on top of my turret at the same time it spawned, instantly blowing him up.

alteration of finding : I think there must be a certain degree of dirt present - regardless, this level of dirt is a seemingly common occurrence

>>140587523
Yes, it's horribly inaccurate and the doesn't protect you at all. It's only real use is camping door ways in close quarters, but that's begging to get 12 grenades tossed in your general direction.

>artillery strike
At first I was gonna yell for that one artillery fag to duck off, but then I remembered star wars battlefront having air strikes for the sniper, iirc.
How about we give the infiltrator a utility slot ability to call for a laser guided artillery strike from a captured tech plant within a certain radius of it for 450 nanites?
>>140596728
>even more low rank sniper elites
nah familia, nah
>>140596728
Chokepoints are usually inside or at the entrances of buildings though, where artillery strikes wouldn't work. Tanks outside are probably too far apart and too mobile to even fall victim to a useful artillery strike.
In games like Tribes: Ascend, the orbital strikes were mainly useful to clear capture points before going in. In that game, points are usually open to the sky, so it works, but in Planetside 2, most cap points are inside buildings.
I think giving the infiltrator a way to actually meaningfully infiltrate would do good. I'm talking more hackable base defences like draw bridges (similar to what Amerish has), lockable gates, automated base defence turrets and respawn timer sabotage.
Oh yeah also this game should add indicators to tell pubbies that there are more than one way to get to an objective. Like in techplants, show a little notice and some glowing arrows towards the tunnels which nobody seems to use. Whenever I use the tunnels I feel like I'm the only one to do so.
Has anyone tried to cheekily block off the vehicle entrance of tech plants with a base building wall?
Placing it behind the gate shield means vehicles can't shoot it, and gate diffusor sundies can't drive through either.

Rank 1 boost, and 2 or so ranks in mineguard. Boost is most helpful as a drifter light assault though.
Weapons really aren't needed. You'll usually get shot off very quickly if without wraith. Take the shotgun if anything though. Chassis is personal preference, but probably not needed.

It's ok, depends on how you build up your base. Been having some bigass fights in the middle of nowhere which was cool. It's needs some fine tuning for sure. Maybe like the underpop faction being able to build up closer to bases while the larger factions have the normal restrictions. This would let the smaller factions slow down zergs that are steamrolling them.

Dear /ps2g/,
Should I be playing on Emerald? My old BR 40 was on Connery, so I've been playing there, but I haven't had any fun.
The only enjoyment I got from this game previously was from giant battles. These were forced into occasion by alerts to specifically contest bio labs or tech plants. This used to only happen once per day, which is why I got bored with the game.
In I've played about 12 hours in the last 2 days and have yet to find a pleasantly large battle. The alerts now are simply "Hold this continent" so there are no necessary points of conflict. When I play with an Outfit, they avoid battles as much as humanly possible and spend most of their time arranging armor assaults on empty constructions. When they do have to attack or defend, they arrange to have an overwhelming zerg so there is no potential for any real gameplay.
I want to fight people, /ps2g/. I want to see 100 people with sunderers and armor everywhere on each side fighting for every foot of ground in a giant fucking base. I want there to be massive infantry battles on every generator and point. I want there to waves of maxes fighting each other in the entrances.
Will I be more likely to find this on Emerald? Is there a single Outfit in the entire game who aren't fucking pussies and are willing to put up a fight?
I assumed constructions would make it more likely for big battle to happen but people aren't using it effectively. How it should be used:
>oft contented base is on the edge of our territory
>they'll probably attack it soon en masse, and camp our spawn with armor before we can get enough reinforcements there
>let's fucking construct a base nearby behind our lines so we have a second spawn they have to try and cover
>we now have the ability to counter-place sunderers and make a spirited defense
How it's actually being used:
>let's place a random base somewhere behind enemy lines and abandon it just to distract them so we never have to actually fight people
>>140537062
I am impressed the devs have gotten this far. You would not see this happen if they were still working under SOE Can't wait to see this get into the game.

it's not the beast it used to be before the nerfs but it's still a really good weapon.

It does matter when you use it as a heavy assault and ADS with it. You can play like you were using a 0.75 ADS AR/carbine, but you can't do that with any other SMG.
>>140631219
HEAT is that.

Galaxies are drop ships, not attackers. They're used to transport troops to areas that you can't deploy to. The weapons are only used to help provide fire support for the ground troops and defend against air.
Not that I wouldn't mind seeing Liberators get a health decrease.

Well the description now says that it only "increases the detection range on a mini map" instead of increasing COF bloom but i'm not really sure about that.

that means fucking with your connection to gain an advantage. don't do it unless you're a huge faggot and tryhard.

I have 3< KDR on american servers and ~1 on EU even though I'm from EU because the lag comp is so shit you can kill people before they even know you're shooting at them.
And when that's not happening I'm watching 90% of my shots land on some guy 10m from me and getting positive hits for 10% of them. It's especially bad if both are adad'ing.
Oh well, guess I'll keep playing on american servers since apparently 130 ping > 40 ping

i don't know what sort of algorithm they use to give you a weighted average, but the sample size is very small, which is probably throwing the numbers off. it would be correct to say you're 3.5 sd below average with a big margin of error, but they're not showing the error

what would you recommend?
Did PS1 ever have an instant action style spawn option where you would fall out of the sky? I remember playing a shooter years and years ago that had graphics like the first Planetside where you could do that. I also remember fighting on an island with a big mountain, ruins in the middle of the island and two red and blue teams.
>>140648254
There was the HART shuttle that you had to enter at the sanctuaries, which allowed you to drop on conts.
However, it was on a timer, which turned a lot of people off of the game.
>>140648141
>what would you recommend?
There's no such thing as intel graphic cards. AMD CPU's are a meme right now, you just don't buy them.

How useful is this medic shield generator? I assume it was added after the pastebin guides were written.
>>140648254
http://wiki.planetsidesyndicate.com/index.php?title=HART
Every 3 minutes a massive shuttle would take off and you could drop onto anywhere on any open continent. Except into bases, you could only drop between bases.
There were also Galaxies, which weren't 'instant action' style, but big player flown dropship that did that, much like how it is in PS2.

ALL of them except medic.
The rifles are well balanced on NC, certs are made for days, and you can actually turn the tide of a fight by giving a shit about people other than yourself.
The rest however i'm often forced into using because:
- "That's a nice free ESP device you got there, would be a shame if no one used it. :^)" "That's a nice instant kill sniper rifle you got there. Would be a shame if something happened to your targets hitbox :^)" "That's a nice semi-automatic sniper rifle you got there. Would be a shame if the enemy was a spaz with the sprint and strafe keys :^)" "That's a nice scout rifle- oh wait, it's a piece of shit with no damage or accuracy. Never mind. :^)"
- "Why would light assault need a support item like a placeable jump-pad? Just go light assault and get over the wall yourself, lol"
- "DUDE INFINITE GUIDED ROCKETS, LMAO!" "DUDE INFINITE AMMO AND LAUNCHER GRENADES, LMAO!" "DUDE THE BATTLE RIFLE IS TOTES G-shit, my bad, forget i said anything."
- "Why would you play anything other than heavy assault? You get like 50% to 100% more health and are the only class that can at-will hit/kill vehicles. Completely balanced!"
- 10k certs to unfuck the MAX from useless piece of shit to a godmode room clearer and vehicle popper... if you have an engineer butt buddy. And if there isn't 2 heavies with rockets out. And if you decided to use flak but more than 3 people look in your direction.

I never play medic because why would I? I dislike the class in general. Accepting a revive usually means instant death again. When it would actually be safe to revive (i.e. after being run over by a friendly Harasser) they are never there. Also too many people think it's the "assault" class from BF and go full Leeroy Jenkins.

That really depends on who you ask, but you should either have the same hip/aim 360 distance (since 1x are actually 1.35x), or double the distance when aimed.
>>140655565
o-ok
>buildings take reduced damage overall
>mbts get weapons specifically for busting constructions
y/n
>>140655512
Yes. If launchers weren't so ridiculously powerful, able to home in on anything and kill shit in 2 hits while the faggy little heavy is abusing terrain to completely avoid detection, and at the SAME TIME is extremely strong against other infantry that go in to get rid of him, I see a problem.
Either heavily nerf launcher damage, or remove it and give it to MAX. Or get a vehicle yourself. The fact they have the best anti-air, the best anti-infantry, and the best anti-armor, all for absolutely free is ridiculous.
>>140655913

>>140655738
>you should either have the same hip/aim 360 distance
How would I go about doing the medkit shuffle if I have to move my mouse all the way to turn around?
>or double the distance when aimed
That seems a whole lot more reasonable to me. Is there a reason for it to be exactly double the distance, as opposed to, say, 2.381x?
I've never spent many thoughts on this, I just went with what feels right, but I think it could feel a lot more right than it does right now.

Part of it is covered by the keyboard because there's not all that much space on my desk. The usable portion should be between 20 and 25 cm wide.
I haven't measured it, but I'd guess ADS 360° is around 15 cm and non-ADS somewhere around 10. Reducing ADS sens to make it 20 cm seems reasonable at this point, maybe I'll reduce it further sometime.
I'll most likely keep the high sens non-ADS because I literally never hipfire anyway and like being able to look around and maneuver very quickly.

For the past three days I've had the image of a certain 40ish year old woman stuck in my mind, and I couldn't remember who she was. There was absolutely nothing particular about her.
Every few hours I'd see her goddamn face again, and I couldn't associate a name, a time frame, or anything, and it was driving me crazy.
But, out of nowhere, I just remembered! She used to be a cashier at the grocery store close to the last house I was living in.

On one hand I love shitting all over aircancer with minimal effort
On the other hand, I expected nothing but still get disappointed.
Where is this fun I'm supposed to be having? I've put about 10 hours in since I reinstalled. Enjoyed about 15 minutes of it.
The most enjoyable part of this game is when large battles happen over points of interests. It give you the opportunity to coordinate and have some laughs, play however you want, and jump back into action quickly.
I haven't seen a single battle at a Tech plant or Biolab. There's nothing to encourage battles anymore, it's just trading zergs.
This is the only game I've ever played that had absolutely fantastic systems design, and managed to utterly fail in the gameplay department.
REMEMBER TE
WE WUZ KAAANGS
As a guy who has been playing for about 5 months now I feel like i'm in a decent position to comment on the update without the "jaded oldschool player" filter clouding my post. The construction system, when used well is pretty fun. Maybe I'm too new to appreciate just how fun this game was before it's decline, but i'm having a ton of fun right now. This is probably because i'm used to almost empty worlds at times and having two continents full of players means that the gameplay is going to be much better. I'm not saying that the update will save the game, but right now i'm having fun.
On an unrelated note, has anyone else noticed the huge discrepancy between the daybreak cash costs for the new construction items and the cert cost? They arent even trying to hide their jewery anymore.
