It's not my fault that Reddit is full of people with retarded opinions, and the devs actually listen to those people. It has taken the place of the official forums, even though I don't really understand why because both of them are full of shitposts by the same people.

>Bad players defending construction
So the shitters who can't adapt are the good ones? lmao, the mental gymnastics of bads always cracks me up.
If they introduced trunks for vehicles and you could carry one (1) of any weapon inside them, what would you lug around in your tonk/jeep?
Deci probably tbqh.
At least then I'll have a way to tell that one ESF that always ends up tailing me while flying in a predicable and easy to rocket way, to fuck off.

No, because I'm not the genius who decided to change people from spawning in on the warpgate to save ADD retards 10seconds of their super valuable time.
Hey let's just randomly drop motherfuckers in the middle of nowhere half the time and right smack in the middle of giant ass battles where they are killed within .5secs of touching the ground and that's if they even make it to the ground.
instead of
Ok we'll drop you off in the warpgate where the first thing you see after spawning is a room full of friendlies wearing various camos and helmets so you immediately get a rough idea of who your friends are. Also in this said room there are people asking questions and talking back and forth who can help get you straightened out. As well as vehicles coming and going that you can hop into that will get you to a battle and in a squad you can follow around.
Ok now let's spend countless dev hours trying to unfuck the damage this cause with all kinds of stupid shit that end up failing instead of just reverting the change. And also let's not mention that this would never have happened if we took the fucking time to add sanctuaries.

What's the fucking point of Gorgons? Their DPS and accuracy is lower than AI weapons, their damage to vehicles is pathetic and their huge cone of fire doesn't allow long range plinking. Can't say they are anti-MAX either because they still lose to Hacksaws.

>>140825849
Fair enough. NCWest is 10 times worse than SOE was too so that lowers her chances.
>>140825406
Their point is being able to tell NC "Now you have something other than shotguns, stop crying."
Never mind that Gorgons are shite
>>140826420
But they already had Ravens. Falcons and of course slug ammo.
>>140826518
They don't want good weapons. They want machineguns. Because they saw a video on those OP mercies or blueshifts or whatever.
Nevermind that machineguns are terrible now more than ever before and MAX suits are best suited to peeking and firing with single shot rockets, but whatever.
>>140826329
also i didnt realize every nigger on NC seems shirk away from gunning a fully certed out enforcer unless im getting the harasser into a prime location for farming infantry
>>140826064
As a harasser pro, I can tell you I don't give a shit about lock-ons. Anywhere but the frozen rivers on Esamir, they're easy to break-lock on, or force to fly into a mountain. The annihilator is especially amusing, because you get heavies standing in the open trying to lock onto you while you run them down without resistance. They can't even dumb-fire the thing at you.
If you want to upset harassers, you use the lancer. That shit is frustrating - not the annihilator.
>>140827183
It's just the way of life senpai. Whenever there's a prime farm, you will not get a gunner, or you'll get a gunner with whom you just sit there thinking "why did I bother picking up this guy".
>>140827445
>As a harasser pro, I can tell you I don't give a shit about lock-ons.
Right, but the vast majority of people aren't pros. Just self-styled pros that are actually shitters.
Smart harassers know how to break locks without missing a farming step, but the vast majority just dumbly try and juke the lock off.
G2A for casual use. Annihilator if there's a decent vantage point and no real risk of close range encounters.

The less time you spend potentially getting dumbfires/archers shot into your stupid fat ass, the better.
>>140825947
I'd say archer, but sometimes I sit there bathing in MAX kills thanks to the thing, and it all feels worth it.
Probably the thermals for my harasser basilisk. It was a meme decision. I still feel the need to style on shitters with that + proximity radar. Eventually I guess.
>>140827953
They can't reliably kill a shielded, medkit chugging heavy unless cornered, and they still usually get a deci shot off. NC MAX guns kill anyone before they can react, overshield or not.

60% of the time it doesn't do enough damage to kill.

I have no idea why Mjollnir even has cone of fire bloom on top of huge drop and spread. Vulcan has like 20% higher DPS and it has very little drop and fixed COF.
>>140831603
>Hossin
>>140833294
at least the mjollnir is just as useless at range as it is up close. HAHA
>>140831960
I actually like using the Enforcer, unless you're speaking of the canister one (which should have been just an alt-fire).

Enforcer has a fucked up pump-shotty reload that makes reloads take longer. It also got a huge velocity nerf so it arcs like a bulldog.

No bully I just started playing after two yearbecause I was banneddidn't think they would nerf it badly and did pretty fine when I manned one earlier.
>>140833925
Yeah a bit crazy, maybe more like a cert like slugs , could also applies for other empires mounted weapons weapons.
>>140833757
What the canister really needs is for each pellet to have a proximity flak effect against infantry.
The Mjolnir should have been a vehicle mounted Raven or Phoenix.
>>140834743
pre-nerf airhammer had that.
>>140834990
>worst DPS in the game
>50% of shots impact the firing vehicle
sure, why not?
>>140834990
no, the mjollnir should have been a railgun
basically a secondary with slower firing rate than even the vanguard main cannon and a chargeup making it even slower but enough alpha to satisfy our cries for a weapon that actually goes with NC philosophy
>>140834478
why'd you get b&
>>140835420
They refused to told me why but I would get it was from using SweetFX and despite trying I couldn't appeal it. The other day I got a mail from Planetside and tried to log on the site since I could I downloaded the game and was able to play. No idea why I was unbanned either really.

Since the VS got the TR's Vulcan, I don't see why the NC couldn't get their own Saron.
But the TR have to get a copy of the Enforcer to balance it all out.

I have been playing Man Hitter while monitoring this thread in my second monitor, and every time I look over I read your post and after hitting quite a few mans I still have no fucking clue what you just said.
So what do you guys think of underslung grenade launchers? I bought one as soon as I got my trac-5-s, and used it for quite a while. I think it's neat to have, and being able to spam grenades in biolabs endlessly as an engineer is neat, but they are kind of useless because of the low velocity and the low splash damage makes you have to get direct hits to kill anything.
Smoke grenade launcher, on the other hand, 100 certs I'll never get back. The smoke cloud is puny, and only lasts two seconds at most.
>>140842145
>So what do you guys think of underslung grenade launchers?
Back then, before nanoweave nerf they were ridiculously OP. Shoot in general direction of enemy forces, receive 5 kills OP.

>>140863367
but the MCG is the best weapon for proving your skill by managing your COF
Welp time to log on and blow up shitTR's VP gens.
>>140863743
Because you need to at least be halfway competent at FPS games to not get memed on hard in addition to knowing the game well, unlike EVE where skill (of the FPS kind) isn't necessary.
Plus EVE is a slow, somewhat impersonal game whereas when your tonk gets fisted by a Liberator in seconds it'll get just about anyone mad; especially new players who don't know how to avoid it/don't have a lib of their own certed nor the skill to fly it to extract vengeance.

What happens when a gen gets TK'd? Does the core go back into the empire's collection?

CS:GO is even less noob friendly. The gunplay is unlike any other game. Must stand still and shoot in VERY short burst or you miss literally every shot. The crosshair doesn't tell how big your cone of fire is. You just see bullets leaving your rifle in 45 angle and then you die to 1 headshot.
Also, even low rank games are full of smurfs because tryhards don't want to lose rank on their main

I played it years ago. I loved all the politics, scheming and logistics. I would love shit like that in Planetside.

Is the Striker still good or did they nerf its damage again with the other changes?
Hi, I'm new
Which NA server do you guys usually play on?
>>140866124
I was under the impression that you were going to log TR and TK them, because that's really the only way you can blow up a VP gen without a huge armor zerg.
>>140866378
>without a huge armor zerg
>buttmad vanu
>>140866378
sounds more like a problem with your faction being 90% bolt action Infils than the game imo
>>140866272
The only one.
>>140867654
half is infil, half is prowler. remaining 20% is mossie )))))
>>140868136
I see fewer TR Infils than NC and I have to live with these cheeseburger-shoveling fucks. Fighting TR is a fucking treat compared to the horror movie shitshow that is a VS assault.
Vanu are like fucking vampires. They're gay and they only come out at night.
>>140866268
When was the last time you played?
>>140866272
Emerald
>>140866272
I play TR on connery and NC on emerald
>>140868608
Hossin was new.
I like the Striker's new dumbfire mode and the homing capability is a fine compromise to the faggots who couldn't handle lockons (because anyone worth a dick in the air could shake Strikers no problem), I'm just wondering if they nerfed the damage again and peoples' general thoughts on it.
>>140868895
It got buffed since then actually
I don't remember what exactly, but I think it was COF buffs
>>140868298

It has gotten shit tons of buff since it was changed to dumbfire

>6 rockets per mag
>resistance changes
>cof and velocity buff
Yet it's still not considered very powerful. You can only imagine what piece of shit it was 1.5 years ago.
>>140866378
Nope. I had a bunch of fights yesterday attack the one pretty close to our wg. I seem to be the only one who can look at the map and see it says there are a bunch of TR lurking around. Not hard to track it down. Plus if you manage to catch it early on you can really fuck with them. Just hang back a little bit and watch where the ants are going when they get far away enough just pounce on them. And the usual making sure to blow up terminals in empty bases.
>>140870385
I don't see why a guided rocket with fuel to spare has drop when dumbfired.
Missilenigger, you're actively searching for a target and ready to zip around 180 on their ass at a moment's notice. You can't stay going in a straight line? You clearly have some kind of guidance system. Turn that shit on.
>>140838570
>>140838693
I dont see what fucking problem they could have had with flamethrowers destroying performance in this game. theres been flamethrowers in first person shooters since the early ninetys. its an animated sprite of flame that shoots out of the weapon and fizzles out after travelling a certain distance. How terrible are your coders that this is ruining performance?
its probably just as well, flamethrowers in shooters are almost always just a worse version of shotguns. the coders dont bother to add behaviors like 'you can splash it around corners and into cover,' or just give them shit range. and with shooters that have some form of 3d spotting in them (as almost all games do now), theres no blinding or dazzling effect on the target. they can shoot you, with perfect accuracy, through a huge cloud of fire.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein had the only good FPS flamethrower.
I just watched VS get pushed the fuck out of Hossin and losing hexes with 65% population
>>140871175
It's not the fire itself that was it issue, I think it was the servers trying to handle cones of damage or something like that.
Similarly the old Lasher beam from beta also murdered framerates.
>>140871175
let's just say that the hamsters powering the servers are already burning the fire that is their lives at a pretty good rate
>10,372 M update
What is this?
Making v5 say "I need a gunner" while in a vehicle is too hard for Daybreak. The only way is to overwrite another voice macro. You'd think that something like that would be absolutely trivial, but no. Daybreak never surprises.
>>140871175
Flamethrower's good in Natural Selection 2.
I'm BR36and I've never piloted a vehicle.
I have very fond memories of playing Battlefield 1942 winging around in those dinky biwing planes.
Let's pretend I'm not awful. Is it possible to be a useful Scythe pilot? Can I use it to shit on infantry and tanks, or do I need to use something else? What certs would I need?
>>140871870
I am sorry but DayBreak has been doing more with this game than SOE ever has since launch. At least they are trying

>How terrible are your coders that this is ruining performance?
So, there was this guy, right. And this guy was a literal genius with decades of netcode development under his belt. So this guy builds pretty much all the important shit that makes PS2 work in the first place, and then he up and leaves. All the other people who knew whatever the fuck that guy did left too.
Replace that guy with some literally who's who are figuring this shit out as they go, and you have the current PS2 dev team.
>>140872272
You talking about higby? I thought he was just a PR guy.
>>140872009
ESF are shit-tier at everything except fighting other ESF and killstealing from your friends
You missed the golden age when a single ESF pilot could farm up entire infantry pushes. Those were some fun times.
>>140872502
So what did they do to nerf ESFs?
>>140872502
So what should I use as an all purpose vehicle, then?
Just something to pull when I really need it.
>>140871870
Why don't they just make a new voice macro menu?
Have there be the C menu or something.

don't buy any of the weapons. use fuel tanks and the stock nosegun.
get fire suppression and auto repair. i like hover, but some people swear by racer.
don't over extend when you are learning to fly. prepare to die alot.
>>140872732
Who was it then? It better not be that self proclaimed 30+ years Tyronne niggums

The minor increase in optimal possible damage just isn't worth losing the alpha.
Typical scenarios are as follows:
>scat max
>try to rocket it
>hit it with one rocket
>get fucked with shotguns
>vanu max
>hit it with two rockets
>get fucked with blueshifts
>far away tank
>miss 3 rockets, hit 3 rockets (if magrider, miss 5 rockets)
>would've done more damage with a lockon
>close up tank
>try to rocket it
>hit it with 3 rockets
>eat a tank shell
>oncoming esf
>hit 2 rockets, esf passes you, remaining 4 rockets move slower than it and cannot catch up
>liberator/gal
>hit most rockets probably
>would take like 40 more rockets to kill the liberator, 3x as much if it's a gal
>not worth wasting the time
It's basically the same problem the Lancer has, except the Lancer at least has a use in groups.
>>140872732
Ding ding ding. It would require code. No matter how little, it's more than what Wrel or Burness are capable of. They are not programmers. But swapping heeeeeelp.mp3 for i_need_a_gunner.mp3 is something even they can do.

They got to have some coders somewhere.
How else did they get the construction system off the ground?

If the orion is the best LMG, why am I getting so much more kills with the saw and the carv?
>>140873254
No, I actually am good with the striker. In fact I dont understand how anyone can be bad with the striker or the lancer. Literally the easiest faction launchers
Takes no brains to use. Only those who complain about them are just absolute shitters. Really easy to pick them out
>>140873167
Maybe the only coder was fired now that construction is done. Or at least moved permanently to H1Z1.
