I've got two friends who are new to the game.
How can I make it fun for them?

this >>143438424.
if it was only one person, I'd say harasser, 3 person harassers are always boring for the rumble seat guy. The whole thing falls apart if the driver is a shitter too.
>>143438540
I'm bad at flying though
What stuff should I equip in the other Slots?
can I play this game on toaster now?
>>143439262
Composite, hi-g, tankbuster, and turbo-boost.
Turbo is probably most important.
>>143439840
Extreme close range is always pretty fucky with shotguns, for whatever reason.

What does an A2G Scythe look like nowadays? I haven't played in years.
Do you still just do PPA + Fuel Tank? I don't remember any of these secondary weapons and they all feel the same in the VR.
>>143443447
yes
if you were TR hornets would be the way to go, but VS and NC get the luxury of having long afterburner
btw, extended fuel tanks are now default (if you don't equip another secondary)
When should you pull MAXes?
I play VS and finally can invest a few certs into them.
I have the impression HA is more efficient at killing vehicles (also cheaper if you get killed sooner than you'd think). HA G2A seems also better at AA
So, what are good AI loadouts? For when you're defending / pushing to a point?
>>143443630
>I have the impression HA is more efficient at killing vehicles
no lol
>HA G2A seems also better at AA
if there's only one (assuming it's not an ex quake pro with a deci) then a MAX is far more dangerous
in general, skillsuits are better at close range AA, while HA locks are better at long range
>So, what are good AI loadouts? For when you're defending / pushing to a point?
unless you're an AI comet/pounder/falcon nerd, always use the long range guns for AI. DPS or ammo capacity is irrelevant if you don't hit. blueshift/mercy/mattock, always. no exceptions.
>>143443630
>When should you pull MAXes?
>I play VS
at every possible opportunity
The Airhammer is now worse at anti-infantry than the live version of Banshee, but its vehicle damage is even more ridiculous than before.
Wrel what are you smoking?
>>143444532
nc finally getting the nerfs they deserve
>>143444532
wrel replaced his brain with another bandana
don't ask questions
>>143443618
Are all the secondaries useless, then? Do I have any AV options as a Scythe?
>>143444660
hornets/LPPA for cancerman loadout.
>>143444595
I dunno if getting a mini-tankbuster is a nerf.
>>143444730
>AH
>mini-tankbuster
???????
>>143447050
Go to the PTS and try it
>>143447503
What the fuck is happening on Briggs
>>143443630
When theres one engi on the team. Theres no good time to pull a max, but the most "honorable" non-shitter opportunity would be when your faction is slightly outpopped.
MAXes work better with teamwork
>>143444532
What do you mean worse? Does it take 1 more second to kill an infantryman?
>>143448025
It could take your whole magazine depending on RNG. The spread is huge and splash non existent.
>>143447693
There is no honorable in PS2. Only salty infantryside vets who get mad when vehicles/MAXes ruin their statpadding session
Is putting two C4 bricks on a flash and use it as a kamikaze still a good idea?
Would it get me some fun kill?
Few questions.
1. for survivability, is flak armor better than nanoweave?
2. are Hornet missiles worth the cost?
>>143451237
Flak in zergs. Nanoweave in small fights. Advanced shield capacitor fits all though(used once you can shoot mans properly)
>>143450239
Do it with an Infiltrator friend that has cloaking, and MBTs literally cannot stop you.
>>143451778
oh boys
So as someone who is about to spend money on this ded game. I have one question, is there a secure credit card system where I don't need to save my card to my account or does daybreak just not have that.i'd rather not have my account get hacked and my credit card info found
>>143448213
aim better
>>143453065
Game has prepaid cards you can buy at a gas station, friend
>>143453801
Not your friend, pal
>>143454127
It also accepts your Steam wallet if you can find prepaid cards for that. Or just use Paypal, buddy.
>>143451778
>>143452929
You can do it yourself if you've a fury.
Attach c4, swap to infil, detonate with fury.
Works best against prowlers, okay against vanguards/lightnings, and kind of finicky against magriders. Sometime it goes seamlessly, others you pass harmlessly beneath them without it detonating.
If you're doing it without wraith (ie, just using the flash as a c4 torpedo), then turbo-boost is near required.
>>143454256
He's not your buddy, pal.
>>143436349
That fight at Northpoint was fun.
>>143451237
hornets are op as shit for farming vehicles
Looks like we are getting another update where TR gets the buffs they need and deserve q:^)
>>143457686
wwwweeeeeeeeeeeewww
yeah i'm just going to stay in biolabs from now on
wrel clearly doesn't want you to step outside
>>143459094
>while someone's trying to meme with you at 50kph, you just pop shield and dumbfire a rocket into the cert pinata
I don't see the problem here.
>>143459141
Sure, rocket rifles only. I'll go as TR:^)
>>143459632
If you didn't notice it was a MAX, it instagibs infantry just like pre nerf.
>>143440654
It is because shotguns have terrible CoF that is wider than their spread at close range. So you can have 100% of pellets miss at point blank.
>>143448025
LPPA kills significantly faster.
>>143436208
Last week I went looking for all the planetside art I could get. I was quite disappointed as I discovered that like 80% of all of it is pony shit. I was also surprised at the lack of VS ponies, I expected them to have a ton, but it was TR who had the most.
I feel like tr has rused me.
>>143459094
I'm going to switch to permanant spawn-room burster duty.
Which is way more difficult now that most of the spawn rooms on Indarside got changed to the big version that you can't burster from.
>>143444532
Do people not remember the original air hammer and how that thing used to fucking ruin vehicles?
>>143458330
So these things are for light assault only?
>>143461243
considering the CoF is 2x the crosshair circle, you'll manage.
All wrel needed to do with the AH was tighten its CoF so it was useful outside deci range. Instead he did the opposite.
All rise for the New Conglomerate anthem.

>>143458330
>>143457861
wait so we're getting an NS rocklet rifle but it is different based on what faction you are? wtf is this shit?
What do you all think of construction?
>>143464768
its fun and a good addition but didn't make planetside 2 great again
>>143466176
built a lot of walls though
Why is the VS MAX so shit?
NC and TR get fucking shotguns and rockets for their MAXes and Vanu gets nothing to kill infantry with splash.
Am I missing why they're supposed to be good?
>>143467920
fucking lol
>>143454710
Also works on Sunderers if you max out the engineer belt, but it's expensive as hell for one shot.
>>143464768
At 100% efficiency, a single Hive will generate 1 VP every forty (40) minutes. This entire process also generates virtually no XP; a single full ANT delivery only gives you four kills' worth of XP, for example, despite it taking several minutes. So every squad/platoon jerking off in the corner with their walls is a squad that's actively pulling troops off other, actually viable win conditions.
In terms of making FOBs, the no-build zones are extremely restrictive and prevent proper building placement, so you end up with shitty islands that are so off the path that they barely pull any players off the actual base.
So construction is useless in all regards.
>>143461459
>So these things are for light assault only?
Yes
>>143462941
>NS rocklet rifle but it is different based on what faction you are?
Not entirely. It has various ammo types to chose from, also ES types. It even has access to smoke and flashbangs in secondary mode (RMB, consumes more ammo)

>c4 kids literally on suicide watch
>>143472545
i don't understand, are they going to nerf C4?
>>143473196
They made the 3rd person camera on vehicles more zoomed out so you pretty much have no way of sneaking up on a vehicle now. Plus I think it works better with a overlay now, so they can stay in 3rd person mode now.
>>143471674
if the NC has the high damage thing, what would TR get?
even more damage?
>>143434708
This game has nothing on PS1. Absolute utter garbage marketed towards millennials with cocks tinier than their attention span.
>>143473785
>implying tank drivers don't get tunnel vision
Most C4 kills are on lazy or shitty tank drivers, or drivers who have been outplayed (nothing like planting two bricks on the ground and then goading some kill-thirsty tank to chase you right into your death trap)
The impact of this will be minimal.
>>143473785
>no way of sneaking up on a vehicle now.
>>143472545
wait wait, did they finally apply your FOV settings to vehicle 3rd person, is that it? or is it just zoomed out?
>>143468962
Can it be fixed?
The construction system really is just one giant clusterfuck of pointlessness. Pointless XP rewards, pointlessly slow VP generation, pointlessly many exploits (eg. go to enemy faction and use all their hive cores on 10% efficiency ones right by their warpgate)
On top of this you get essentially nothing for killing a hive core. It's 450 xp, which is 20% less than you get for capturing a control point.
>>143464768
Too disconnected to the original purpose of the game. It has some interest for some purely for novelty, but within a few months few will bother.
I'd much rather they focus on things like letting engineers upgrade the defenses on existing structures.
>>143468962
Well it's not technically useless. In a stalemate, whoever has a 6 person cheese squad parked on a mesa next to the NC warpgate generating just one VP will lock the continent.
Other than that yes, construction doesn't generate enough to warrant pouring all your manpower over the bases - especially if you lost all your cores.
for construction they shouldve just copied planetside 1 and let engis construct aegis shields (big shield-domes that cloak those inside; useful for cover) and upgrade base turrets.
also added lodestars but nah that would take actual effort, lets just add a copy/pasted NS weapon instead :))) we get more money short term this way, nevermind that the game is bleeding dry of players :)))
>>143475905
Long term viability matters for subscription games. By making it a F2P game, they made it so that all decisions would be centered around creating sellable content as cheaply and easily as possible.
That's why we won't see more continents or more vehicles. You can't sell those. You can sell shotguns and hats, though.
>>143475537
They need ribbons and shit for doing construction related things
>5 people used your ant to place buildings ribbon
>10 minutes of core ownership ribbon

>automatic cortium extractor

>vehicle cloaking module
>>143471492
Planetside 2 has made every other game boring. But I also hate this game too.
>>143471492
it was the jews.
So if I'm a comfy fag can I do construction stuff off on my own or does it require friends or squad mates? Don't really care if it's pointless, I'm just bored.
Also can anyone recommend an outfit on memerald for Vanu? I've only ever played solo and it's not too great.
>>143478242
I can highly recommendkill yourself faggot
>>143478242
as long as you unlocked the skyshield and AI module you can do whatever you want.
PS2 needs more vehicles desu
>>143473854
A shitty bust fire mode to keep 'em UP
TR tradition
>>143478870
Seems logical, thanks
>>143478605
Have thought about it plenty of times over the years but I've really been enjoying life lately, sorry.
>>143443630
Generally speaking, any time you can pull a max, you could be a heavy assault instead and do as good or better.
Maxes work best as damage sponges/support
>>143479672
max does AV/AA duty much better.
>>143471492

>>143471492
Well I tried to play some piss1, but it kept crashing on me.
>>143479571
>I've really been enjoying life lately
>>143448025
Wrel cut damage by about 60-70%
It's now pointless to use the airhammer for A2G against infantry.
My only guess is that he's trying to make it so it isn't a high-alpha instakill gun, but he accomplished this by making the gun completely worthless at everything. You'd almost be better off with the valk noseguns.
>>143451237
Flak is almost never worthwhile - about the only time you'll ever need it are those moments when you've got like 30 guys stuffed into a small room and grenades keep getting tossed around like candy.
Whereas nanoweave helps in every other situation.
Flak armor on a max is a good investment though - helps a fair bit against c4.
>>143457861
That looks completely useless...
>>143451237
>>143480594
ASC = shootmoremans
ASC + Resist + tampons = Maximum shootmans
Flop = Die to the second grenade that was thrown in at the same time
Nanowimp = Die hiding like a frightened rat because your shields won't recharge
>>143479785
I disagree on AA - if you're going to do AA, use the lock-on launchers.
>>143481654
but the combined kph of the bursters is higher than the G2A launcher
>>143481037
A 4 second difference in shield recharge times isn't enough to really matter when it comes to shootin mans
I'd only recommend ASC if you're going full resist-heavy meta where it synergizes best. Otherwise, use literally anything else.
And "nanowimp" is bascially mandatory for using adrenaline/nmg to even start being competitive with resist.
>>143481654
>Hawk 3.2
>BLeft 2.9
>BRight 2.4
Left + Right = 5.4
Which is significantly better than the launcher alone. Remember that only one arm gets the kill.
>>143481909
That's not how it works son, you don't get 2 kills by killing 1 aircraft with bursters.
One of the arms gets a kill.
What you're saying would be like adding your sidearm and primary firearm aircraft kills to your lock-on aircraft kills.
>>143481939
>use ASC
>grenade knocks down shields
>shields go back up
>grenade knocks down shields again

>>143482116
I finish ESFs with my LMG all the fucking time. The Phoenix puts ESFs into burning, LMG to finish.
>>143481992
Not him, but..
The downside is that the Burster MAX is a significant nanite cost for something that is very specific in its purpose.
Pulling an HA with a Hawk allows much more flexibility with gameplay.
So it depends on circumstance.
e.g. if you're in a 12 v 12 and some podfarmer comes around to show off how tiny his dick is, pulling a Hawk and starting the lock process is often enough for him to flare off and find another battle to farm.
but if you're in a 96 v 96 and the sky is dark with fat distracted targets, Burster MAX is the way to go
>>143482116
>What you're saying would be like adding your sidearm and primary firearm aircraft kills to your lock-on aircraft kills.
You do realize MAXes have two weapons equipped at all times, yes.
>>143482598
All you said is that the burster max is always better, but sometimes you don't wanna pull a max so you make do.
Too bad wrel won't fix the worthless skyguard
>>143482217
More realistically:
>Use ASC
>Grenade knocks down shields
>Run away and recharge in 6 seconds
>Don't use ASC
>Grenade knocks down shields
>Run away and recharge in 10 seconds
There are very few instances where ASC matters, and these are only situations where you're in a high-tempo battle, right where resist+medkits (and betelgeuse) also starts working best.
In any other situation where you can and will be able to take cover for 10 seconds (or, more realistically, find a bubble shield/sunderer/infantry terminal and recharge as quickly or faster than ASC) you're better off with something else.
It's a niche item, whereas a straight resist boost from nanoweave helps in every type of firefight.
>>143482825
Yeah, that's pretty much what I said, and I stand by that.
But yeah, the Skyguard is fucked, as is the Lightning in general.
Why the Lightning gets 1 fire mode and has to rely on teamwork while the ESF gets 2 fire modes and gets to be flexible with gameplay for the same nanite cost is bizarre.
>>143482825
I really don't understand a lot of the things Wrel is doing now.
I do feel as though his own personal biases are beginning to boil forth.
And I don't like the non-scientific approach he takes to balance. He should be doing some statistical analysis before he even starts changing a weapon.
I'd honestly vote iridar for weapon balance changes over wrel; at least that guy is autistic enough to do the math.
>>143474885
>out skilled
>>143482659
more than that a burster max doesn't switch weapons, while a HA is going to switch to LMG or tampon when not using the Hawk.
>>143483354
All the aircraft are poorly balanced.
Were it up to me, I'd completely change the aircraft dynamic and make the Lib/valk the A2G aircraft, and the ESF's the A2A aircraft; remove ESF A2G weapon pods and noseguns entirely, stick them on the valk and rebalance them as needed after that. ESF's transition to controlling the skies.
That keeps the 1-man aircraft from acting like a do-everything vehicle that it currently is.
>>143484035
>That keeps the 1-man aircraft from acting like a do-everything vehicle that it currently is.
But that's the point. What kind of fucking nerd wants to deal with teamwork or coordination? If I can't singlehandedly wipe a platoon in my ESF for my Twitch montage, then I'm dropping this piece of shit game.
And that goes double for the MBTs. I'm fucking elated that they removed that driver/gunner bullshit from PS1.
>>143484035
Honestly I wasn't having any issues with ESFs until the banshee cancer-buff.
But instead wrel buffs banshee, nerfs AH to worthless, LPPA is still quite good, and makes it take 5 lockons to kill (indirect health buff).
Literally cancer, fragile ESFs were good. Now unkillable ESFs.
I'm looking forward to wrel bringing back the Libpocolypse.
>>143483395
Wrel is finally buffing TR and nerfing the other dramatically overpowered factions. That's the only thing this game needs and you can fuck off if you don't like it.
>>143484035
Exactly, it should be like that from the fucking start. Libs should be main a2g vehicles at launch. Want air support? Protect it with your ESFs.
How's the magscatter work out as a secondary?
I've never really used it, but I've always been curious if it's effective.
>>143485658
It's poop but better than the beamer
>>143485658

I was honestly hoping he'd have a clear head and actually look into what's going on with NC losing so many alerts.

>>143548931
in any game where there are low rate of fire guns, the low rate of fire guns underperform unless used by someone who is higher skilled
NC is the hard mode faction. guns with low rate of fire, vehicle weapons with little splash and high drop, a slow and punishing tank with no turret stabilization (it's not bad, just hard to use), default faction colors that stick out against virtually any terrain, a max that absolutely has to get close to be at its best
the reason we lose alerts is because the average shitter can't use NC assets to their fullest power. the reason we're not underpowered is because all things equal, a good player will win against the other factions.other than in a straight forward MBT fight against TR
not saying i like the way it works right now, but for now it works. NC's not broken.

Weapons like Jackhammer, Cyclone, Airhammer and anything their MAXes can use are the epitome of easymode. Same with the Vanguard shield. It's like the paladin bubble from WoW except it doesn't have 5 min cooldown.

That is not true.

If they hit one shell and the other one misses, they have 15% less DPS than a Titan

If both shells hit, they have 69% more DPS than a Titan

>>143548931
NC loses alerts because there are three factions and two prefer to fight NC. With the third also doing it's share to kill NC. Emerald TR don't even play the alert unless they stand a chance of winning. So they find and excuse to push NC even if they are in second or third place. That means NC win the least.

AP prowler 2/2 with vulcan > AP magrider 2/2 with halberd backed up by C75 viper lightning.
All 3 at full health, mag meets prowler head to head, no magburning and no lockdown, the magrider dies quickly, VS c75 viper lightning begins firing at the prowler from behind as soon as the magrider explodes, and gets off 2 volleys and almost a third reload before dying.
All at full health, no shots missed by anyone.

>no shots missed by anyone
Not TR, but isn't that the goddamned point of the Magrider? Maneuverability so that you DON'T get hit by every shot?
I mean, yeah, the Prowler is a better tank if you refuse to play to your own strengths and allow the Prowler to play to his.
That's like saying "HA beats LA head on if every shot hits, it's not fair!" The LA has his own bag of tricks he should be using to equal the playing field.
>>143558919

Because they were more like light vehicles and not fucking super soldiers who ran around shitting on everything.
They were slower and you could lock on them with lock ons. (Which was pretty nice against VS max's. for NC max's you hit em with a deci) They were designed to fight alongside the other troops, you supported them they supported you.
How high do you think NC team-casualties would shoot up if they actually released the Colossus?
Main balance factors of MAXes in PS1:
1) lower TTKs. You could turn a corner and see a scatmax and have enough time to go back around the corner. No 1hits.
2) Slower movement speed and no charge ability. A fight with them is something you decide, not something they decide.

I lone wolf. Yet I've got a fully certed sundy because the amount of 48 v 48 fight I go to where no one has placed a good sunderer is remarkable. There's no planning or organization.
We had Xelas about a week ago and despite the fact that we had 48 v 12 at the base and they only had one teleport in, all my teammates kept humping the one door and playing whack-a-mole with the TR instead of jump-padding over to the next base which was only being defended by literally 3-5 players. People saw biolab and they huddled to hit, hoping to find fresh, meaty certs.
Earlier that week, I was fighting for one of the connecting bases to a biolab, and one of the zergfits came swept in out of the blue and helped us overpop them. As victory became assured, I padded over to the biolab to help get setup to take it as quickly as possible. Despite the fact that there were 96+ sitting at the previous base, I was literally the only player at the biolab generator when the base fell and it became vulnerable. Not a single one of those zergfit squads came to help prep the biolab. I got ganked in the back by two infiltrators who stopped the overload and gave the TR time to rally troops to defend the lab.
It's all mindless zerg, all the time, and these zergfits either don't know shit, or have zero control over their people.

Dunno why you decided to jump to that conclusion instead of the more obvious case that this exact thing just happened to me ingame and I'm salty about it, which is how it actually is.

>>143559482
>isn't that the goddamned point of the Magrider? Maneuverability so that you DON'T get hit by every shot?
It's supposed to be, but it most often doesn't work out that way. Strafing, hover, and magburner aren't actually good tools at all for avoiding enemy shots in the vast majority of situations, and certainly not in the bottom 90% of players' hands.
>Prowler is a better tank if you refuse to play to your own strengths and allow the Prowler to play to his.
It's not about refusing, it's the fact that the vast majority of regular engagements are not ones where a magrider CAN play to its "strengths", and even when it can, it turns out those supposed strengths don't actually amount to much. Case in point, magrider strafing does not let you dodge shots like most people think it does, and magburner does not let you escape engagements after they begin because exposing your rear equals death.
Magriders can do okay by full stealthing and ambushing unsuspecting enemy tanks from behind with alpha damage, and that's all top tier magrider gameplay is. The problem is, the other MBTs can also do that, and do it better due to their unquestionable strengths (toughness and DPS), and added on top of that, the vanguard and prowler can serve as actual MBTs in standard combat as well, whereas magriders are, at best, heavy harassers, and lightnings end up doing the bulk of the armor work for VS as a result.

The game is mostly balanced.
It's hard to tell certain things because you rarely get fair fights in the game. Usually you're either overpopping them or they're overpopping you.
There are cross-factional issues, though. ESF's are overpowered compared to their nanite cost, and that applies to all three factions.
However, Vanu are objectivelythe most annoying
>>143565243
>can someone give me the final definite rundown on which faction is overpowered and which is underpowered?
Here is an unbiased review by a salty veteran who has played all factions:
LMGs: VS wins here.
ARs: Close match. TR might have a small edge because of 40 rounds, but NC has more versatility.
Carbines: NC is the clear winner.
SMGs: NC wins again.
MBT: Vanguard has the best survivability and its so easy to hit with the Titan, so NC.
ESF: NC wins this one too, VS close second. TR got shafted.
Harasser: TR wins because they have an usable weapon for every situation.

NC recoil is mostly vertical
TR recoil is both vertical and horizontal
To counteract NC recoil you just need to pull down. The horizontal recoil is the lowest of the three factions.
To counteract TR recoil you fire more bullets.
I fully recommend you swap over to NC for a week and play with the gauss saw so you can really see what it's like.
>>143565243
VS and TR are more or less balanced against each other
NC gets their shit stomped in every single day; winning just 20-25% of the alerts, compared with the VS/TR's 35-40%
But if you listen to redditside, it's the NC most in need of nerfs.

If the faction never wins, it's underpowered.
It doesn't matter if these mystical pros do good; if the faction as a whole cannot, the faction is no good.
And quite frankly, if NC really were the best, all the pros would be playing NC instead of VS.

It mostly sucks
too fast for short range
too slow for long range
can only fly 290m which is basically nothing
DPS is obscenely low; if a lightning driver hops out and reps his tank, he can outrepair your damage - you'd figure it'd have high alpha damage to make up for the long reload and guidance, but no of course it doesn't.
and it's not nearly maneuverable enough; which was done so you couldn't easily hit infantry which it can't kill in one shot anyways.
>>143573836

except their arguments are "why would I use this over the fury which deals vehicle damage"

>>143575024

Yeah, but the interest I have in it isn't anti-vehicle. It's anti-firebase. It's what I'd want when an enemy squad is up on a cliff chaining up and sniping people and there's no good way to remove them.
>>143575529
Hmm. Does sort of suck at anti-infantry. Wish WP rockets were a thing.
That said, I don't hate the aesthetic possibilities of NC. I hate most of them, but some are okay.

>Make a better post yourself, faglord.
Here is an unbiased review by an ex quake professional who has played all factions:
LMGs: Before the 0.75 ads nerfs Orion was the king of honorabru duels and BJ was the best farming LMG on live, now it's not that clear. Anyway, HA is a class for faggots.
ARs: No competition here, TR wins by a flawless victory. Very accurate, great dps, huge magazines. T1/TORQ are the best all rounders in the game, T1B is the best gun in the game if you can aim. TRV is very accurate for its 143/845 damage model.
For NC, both Reaper and GRB are great. High dps ones (carnage, GR22) are just shitty versions of TR ones with small mags (but still long reloads) and more horizontal jitter.
VS AR's are just shit versions of TR/NC ones.
Carbines: Mercenary, GCB and GD-7F are great. ACX is ok for roof camping, sucks at actual fast LA play.
TR gets the most dangerous lowbie gun in the game - Trac-5, which is also great for experienced players. Jaguar is the best dueling carbine in the game.
Generally it's a tie between TR and NC.
SMGs: Both Blitz and Cyclone are great, so NC wins here
MBT: Again, no competition here, Prowler shits completely on any ground vehicle in the game, also happens to be best at AI.
ESF: pic related
Harasser: Again, no competition here. TR wins.

>Harrasser: TR wins because they have an usable weapon for every situation.
I agree with most of your post except this. The aphelion is a direct 100% upgrade to the vulcan, it does higher DPS with added burst damage for finishing health-bars (in-effect gives it a 10% to 25% lower time to kill than the vulcan)
All times to kill are to the ass and include reloads
VULCAN
sunderer - 12.39
liberator - 6.75
valkyrie - 5.36
lightning - 5.31
harrasser - 5.00
prowler - 5.18
magrider - 5.20
harasser - 4.52
mosquito - 3.27
scythe - 3.27
APHELION
harrasser - 4.58
sunderer - 10.70
prowler - 5.93
lightning - 5.87
mosquito - 2.47
The saron is also a superior weapon to gatekeeper, like it or not, because it can choose between accurate snipes that do similar DPS to gatekeeper, or short range magdumping that does ~1.8x more DPS than gatekeeper.
I'm a harrasser-only player with about 600 hours of harrasser playtime, VS has the best harrasser by far. Not only for these weapon reasons but also because they don't have to fight magriders (the primary MTB threat to harrassers) and can fight prowlers (easy lockdown kills; low moving turn rate and bulky, big ass, so staying on the ass is easy)
I hope so much that they add the thresher.

Prowler shits on any ground vehicle smaller than itself, but loses vs other MBTs. AI is probably true, but 20 of any tanks (including lightnings) camping a spawn room make it just as impossible to exit.

The system doesn't have enough depth to reward anything else. You go where the lattice is, you stand on the control point, then you go where the next lattice is. Spawn points and vehicle terminals are always immediately available so there's no logistics to deal with, and the scoring rewards farming infantry more than completing objectives anyway.

lol
VS is definitely the winner of this though.
Aphelion is a better vulcan, and the Saron is tailor made for the harasser playstyle. Fury is nearly as good as the marauder, while the TR memekeeper is shit in comparison to the Saron.
Basically, VS win in 2/3 of the categories, with the only category they're not superior in, offering a NS weapon that does the same job.
t. cross faction harasser pro
>>143606661
PS1 was dead before BFRs were added

>>143609051
Most are downgrade memes. VS get infinite ammo farming tools with some extra utility over other faction directive weapons.
>>143619912
Funny though.. I never see VS Harasser swarms. It's always TR vulcan ones.
>>143609264
>pistols that shoot bullets about as fast as a professional pitcher throws baseballs
I think the devs of this game forgot that the reason bullets hurt people isn't because they're magic, but because they are little bits of dense matter traveling at high velocity displacing other bits of matter important to organ function inside the human body.
>>143621352
>infinite ammo
>extra utility
topkuk, ok shitTR.
>>143621516
TR pulls more harassers, but that doesn't change that the aphelion is a superior weapon.
>>143621814
I feel like everyone keeps saying this about everything the VS has
VS apparently has all the best vehicles and weapons but no one uses them
You never see VS Harasser swarms despite them being "better" than TR ones
You never see Magrider columns despite them being "better" than Prowlers
You never see Scythe fleets despite them being "better" than Mosquitos
You never see VS MAX streaks despite them being "better" than TR/NC ones
>>143622295
>You never see Scythe fleets
You've never been to Connery, have you?
>>143622719
My point is that non-VS factions are known for regularly employing tank columns or harassers swarms to great effect despite them being "worse", whereas the VS is absolutely not known for tank columns or harasser swarms like >>143621814 said.
>>143622295
>You never see VS Harasser swarms despite them being "better" than TR ones
I can definitely say that I see these a lot, especially at NC vs TR fights
And magriders get pulled almost as often as the TR pulls prowlers when they start losing a base.
>>143622295
Well, in Miller back in the day, crab swarms erryday
>>143622928
magrider has to be the only tank that gets statistically worse in larger numbers
how to balance vanguard
activating the sheild gives invulnuribility for 30 seconds and gives the a speed bost
vanguard gets a new shotgun cannon taht one-shots tanks up close
this makes sence because magriders and prowlers are both long range tanks (artillery)
>>143625082

>>143626449
what new team lol
>>143627267
No.
One full delivery into a silo gives 3-5 kills' worth of XP depending on how upgraded your storage is. Considering how long it takes to drive to the cortium, harvest it, drive back to the silo, and deposit it, you could have gotten more kills than that by just zerging into a biolab.
If you meant combat options, then the time you spend collecting the cortium that lets you actual cloak/shield/turbo would, again, have been better spent pulling a Harasser/MBT and going straight into the battle.
If you mean building, also no. The only time you actually get reasonable XP generation is once you have a base big enough to lure in a platoon, but actually getting to that point takes several dozen minutes or even hours and a very unreasonable cert investment in the first place. If you had used that time to zerg or properly farm, you would have made the same amount of XP or more.
The only time I would pull an ANT is if it's 4 AM and the game's empty and you just want to get comfy with your truck in the middle of nowhere, not caring about getting certs or contributing to your faction.
>>143627518
A long while back, they canned the majority of the team working on PS2 and brought in a bunch of new people.
>>143627513
no they pull more harassers because the prowlers do too good of a job denying anything close to their own territory so the harrasser faggots go way into enemy territory being a pain in the ass
>>143628408
no, they just canned most of the team, they didn't bring in anyone new

Why even load textures?
Just make everything a formless grey
Maybe give infantry a flat red/blue/purple texture so they stand out
>>143637510
Infantry look like black globs that blend in with the darkness (which is everywhere in directx 8 mode)
Give it a try if you like, it's much harder, you just get some extra FPS.
>>143638041
Yeah but if you're going to mess with the graphics that much, why not just give yourself an advantage?
It's trivial at that point. Infantry get bright textures, even infiltrators. terrain textures are formless and flat so infantry stand out and contrast, make some textures transparent so you can literally see through walls, never fear for screen shake or smoke blocking los ever again
It's basically cheating, but just a matter of how much cheating you do.

hello dark place I once left
got this shit in the mail.
now besides the contest i cannot participate in because I'm not american (why even bother mailing this to me at all),
is that pistol worth a damn and is it worth a damn to even return at all? I've seen they changed things quite a lot.
tldr:
is the pistol useful?
is packet throttling and aimbotting/no recoil/the works still the norm?
is the performance still shit tier?
is it worth it to try play the game again or am I better off staying away?
>>143648167

>>143621534
>>143609264

>>143648167
The pistol is basically a pocket sniper rifle for stalker infils who can't use actual sniper rifles. It's extremely niche.
There's a bunch of anti-cheat stuff coming in the next couple patches.
The performance got improved a lot.
Do you really need other people to tell you what you like?

Is anyone adding stuff for tracking players' average performance before/after DBG adds their new anti-cheat stuff?
I'm a bit eager to see what happens to certain outfits and players.
I've already seen a bunch saying they're quitting the game for good over privacy concerns.
>>143648167
They are aware the game already has a foot in the grave. Construction and the steam ad brought in a ~+50% pop spike, but it stabilised in a matter of days and now is about the same as before the patch; however, a good third of the playerbase is in autism forts, so the game feels deader.
They know there's nothing left to do but one final cash grab, and the coming """balance""" patch is only so NC/VS tryhards will switch over to TR and got out for them OP toys.

I quit wwew this morning. It's just a joke of an outfit. There are constantly 14-16 year old kids on the microphone spamming unfunny memes to show what 'epic channie insiders' they are. No one knows the first thing about strategy and just goes to the nearest cappable base.
You'd think that being a cripplechan outfit means they take criticism in stride, right? Nah, any attempted correction of their constant non-stop mistakes is met with stonewalling 'WOW dude WE'RE NOT A TRYHARD OUTFIT' garbage from the same people who were just previously having a tantrum on outfit chat because the VS is beating us with superior tactics and skills. 'That fucking VS shotgun is overpowered, it 1hit me!' 'Wow, another death to broken magriders, great.' This ad nauseum, while never once considering that maybe they're just shit at the game.
I think being in wwew has managed to forever ruin my motivation to be in an outfit on planetside 2.

>>143659354
senpai, you need to embrace the shit. wallow in it. become the shit.
Only once you have embraced the cheese will you graduate to getting gud and casting your cheese aside. You wasted your pity certs on buying sidegrade guns in a vain attempt to power up, instead of noticing how cheesy one of the ways you died was - and trying to emulate, correct? SMG infiltrator, AI MAX, AI harasser, drifter c4, wraith flash, starter farmers tank - all achievable (individually) with the 1500 pity certs if you spend them right.
>>143659438
You maxed out drifters yet senpai? They're worth it. Get a buddy to hover a respawn valk at flight ceiling once you have them, take turns if you must. It's pretty ebin to shit on tank columns.

Even our sounds are underpowered
>>143664386
It shuts down long-range MAX bullshit like nothing else in the game does. 4hits MAXes at range, 3hit at point blank (2hit if headshots)
>>143664386
Highly situational meme gun.
Only once or twice have I ever felt it to be a sound investment. The day the minecraft update came out was one of them. Before the "set up 200 autoturrets abandon base and wait for a tank zerg to break it or for the attackers to somehow cheese the core" meta set in. NC had a huge number of raven MAX's, and nowhere near enough engineers, but plenty of medics. I'd have killed about 20 MAX's in 10 minutes. Each would get ressed, but be so low as to go down in a single shot. There were 2 other archer engineers with me, so we were volley firing the full health ones too. The MAX's were trapped behind this big rock that gave them terrible angles and few escape routes.
When the archer works well and you find the perfect fight, it's fantastic fun - but those fights are extremely few and far between. It's reliant on high concentration of MAX's at medium range (ie, outside rocket distance), who don't have easy access to an escape route to get repairs / also have a consistent target that'll draw them out. If they've a pocket engineer, you'll also likely get outrepaired too.
9 times out of 10, you'd be better with a dumbfire rocket.
I don't regret it, because it's fun to meme on the occasional MAX (unlike my fully regretting buying the swarm), but don't get it if you're new.
I just wish the thing had an IRNV or 1x scope.

why is .75 ads considered a crutch?

Because only VS had it on empire LMGs
Everyone who wanted to GO FAST (going fast being the crutch) was forced to use the NS-meme LMG.
>>143697219
yet it's fine for TR to have it on a carbine with the same damage, rate of fire and accuracy as the orion with only 10 fewer rounds
then VS gets a .75 carbine and it's objectively shit
b-but then VS gets a Cycler with a whole 19 more RPM in exchange for a smaller mag smaller mag and it's "game breaking" despite the fact TR has 3 more ARs with better RoF

There is no Serpent LMG either.
>b-but then VS gets a Cycler with a whole 19 more RPM in exchange for a smaller mag
It's also more accurate
>>143707071
a serpent LMG would be defeating the entire weakness of the serpent with larger mags
Serpent is fine where it is dumping a whole mag into every kill

just turn voice and the chatbox off, pretend everyone around you is like a marine from halo. the game is much more enjoyable
Goddamnit
>>143735220
Marines from halo would be an upgrade
Would be willing to bet that a typical marine AI from halo 3 or reach would be able to maintain a higher kdr average than actual people. They'd even be able to drive or fly, they wouldn't care about their kdr, they wouldn't sit in the spawn room all day.
It's funny but AI is really good at what people are bad at, and really bad at what people are good at.
I think the only thing necessary would be some logic to make the AI more unpredictable so it isn't easy to farm once you understand how it functions.
And once you've done this, you'll have created something substantially better than most human players.
>>143735576
my point is pretend everyone is AI, let them all die, use them as bait, you shouldn't give a shit about anyone except yourself
>>143735220
The way the majority of the players play I wouldn't be surprised if they actually WERE bots.
Sundy almost dead? You bet any nearby engineers are just staring at some random direction doing.. I don't fucking know what! I saw a bunch of turkeys stare at the sky while our sundy was getting blown up by a tank in the hills, and when the enemy infantry rounded that hill they certainly weren't prepared to shoot them and all got slaughtered
Of course, no one does a single god damn thing about the tank sitting out in the wide open. Yeah, I pulled out my rocket launcher and start taking shots but considering a tank takes like what, 6 shots? And it takes 3 seconds between shots to reload? That tank isn't going to be killed by me, he'll just go behind a rock, fix himself and be right back making damn sure he is targeting me now cause I'm the single person trying to kill him.
LA jumped into a point room from the ceiling? You bet they'll just sit stock still and let the guy knife them all.
You can't even trust them to keep watch on a door, they'll sit slackjawed as a single heavy bursts through the door and mows them all down with their LMG then runs back out the building as your desperately try shooting around your dumbass teammates who are strafing in front of you to get him.
If there was a single friendly mine in a 200m x 200m square they'll plant their fucking vehicle over it to get blown up by the first rocket thrown at them.
This game man, this fucking game. There should be fucking case studies about retards in gaming using this game.
