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?

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
>>140544062

G2A or deci

(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

>>140548024

>>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

>>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.

>>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.

>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.

>>140556065
Laser is a trap on anything other than SMGs and pistols, get the grip.

>Prowler nerf when
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
Uh, I'm pretty sure you can, it just takes precise placement.
>>Can't build buildings that could possibly matter like small towers
A watchtower would actually be a useful addition...
>>Can't build spawn beacon modules for the entire faction to use
Uh, they're called Sunderers...
>>Incentive to erect hives is usually pretty low unless you're close to locking the continent or planning to play all day work towards the lock
Well some of us like that.

>>Incentive to attack a base is usually pretty low unless it's right in your way
Actually, having sat at a base the other day, incentive to Attack is actually pretty high.
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...
MAYBE the non firing-slit walls, catwalk pieces, and the Cargo Containers, but those are more building assists than buildings in their own right.

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
What the hell is fourthfaction, and how hard is it to find a f*n squadron if I'm booty at shoot bullet
>>140565905
it's a lot of fun but you have to completely change your playstyle if you're used to boltshitting or SMGs
>>140566450
>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.
Or Portuguese if you're on Emerald.
>>140565905
Vandal is damn good.
Ghost/TSAR/SAS-R are bolt actions with no sway and they're OP if you can aim.
>>140566145
>>140566586
>>140566607
Thanks for the advice, I've got just enough DBC to buy one NS weapon and I've got no idea which one I should get first (the only NS guns I have are the commissioner and bursters)
>>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.
>>140566851
Purplemans was the only character I had when I last played during, like, late beta. No tremendous attachment otherwise, though.
purplemans still has the best butts
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.
>>140566978
how's the NS SMG? is that better for infiltrators with shit aim?
Is it any good? Better than the Saron?

It's basically a carbine, pretty gud overall though the dps can be lacking.

NS-7 PDW or MKV suppressed? Not sure what's the difference except for the suppressed part...
>>140571490
one will make you want to kill yourself and the other will make you want to kill yourself
>>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.
okay I'm down between the vandal and the PDW, any final thoughts?
>>140572549
vandal 100% if you can aim
>tfw hunting libs trying to farm bases

>>140572549
PDW limits you to dicksucking range.
Vandal is a good gun all around.
