The Crown should be roughly the same as J908 by now.
Things I wish more people would do:
Q-spot enemies
Push toward the objectives
Avoid getting in front of a MANA turret

TR: "We should control who lives and who dies."
NC: "No, we should control who lives and who dies."
VS: "Sorry, I was browsing /d/. What's up?"
TR: "Fuck off, cuckboys."
VS: "Wait, what?"
NC: "Your waifu a shit."
VS: "Allahu ackbar."
And so we went to war.
why is this less active than infinite chan's general
>>143774679
Same reason DaPP has so many members.
>>143774679
because we're bittervets, and wwew are farmed easily
>>143774679
we've been playing since release
wwew and atechan have been playing since construction; they'll eventually #bernout
Errr I just started up and I'm back to the tutorial and don't have my normal weapons unlocked etc but my BR is the same.
What the fuck is going on.

Since VS assault rifles are meh, let's design some new ones
>T1+ Overunity: simply a Terminus with heat mechanic
>GRB (named after http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma-ray_burst): 652/167 with 2 and 3 burst. 0 first shot recoil and same moving COF as standing COF
>>143778527
I have an idea for a new TR rifle
>184 damage, 3 round 800 RPM burst that instakills on headshot
>same accuracy as low range bolts with less bullet drop
>>143778527
>>143778830
these are some good ideas
what about NC though?
maybe a railgun that fires explosive shots that kill everything withing 10m?
>>143778983
aren't NC weapons are already like that?
>>143779278
sorta, but they kinda just hit NC instead of TR and VS
Finally getting back into this game after 2 years away, gonna make an NC character. What should my name be?

Trying VS made me so sad. You have energy weapons. Literally free license to try whatever interesting wacky shit you want. And what do the weapons consist of? Pewpew instead of dakka with no fun allowed.
>>143782231
Fuck off shitTR.
I'm really looking forward to triggering some oppressed vanu with my Banshee again.
>>143782376
VS could be having black hole time grenades and alien bee grenades and needlers and shit. I mean, fuck.
>>143782376
Because VS isn't allowed to have TR or NC like weapons while they both have multiple VS like weapons.
>>143782569

Obnoxious as fuck at times. Like super fucking obnoxious but at least they could get shit done when we needed. DaPP on the other hand are fucking retards. They fight at the dumbest fucking bases and pull our already limited numbers along with them because "m-muh zerg". Their fucking sunderer spam is complete garbage, shitload of enemy tanks inc? Better pull a bunch of sundies and get fucking farmed while doing jack shit to help. Ok all dead? Pull more sundies and get farmed some more. Meanwhile had a single one of the retards bothered to deploy one of the sunderers we could have spawned on it and came up behind the attackers.
Goddamn I wish I had the power to forcibly disband that entire fucking outfit.

Surprised we didn't get PPA'd immediately after.
Really, I'm surprised one of the most effective tactics in history isn't used more when it comes to the Crown. You just get 20 sunderers full of engineers and push in. Mines everywhere. Then during the breach you push in and crush the now hollowed defensive line. You gradually barricade and build your position inside, crushing the opposition and sweeping them off the hill as you capture. And then by the time they finally organize a counter-offensive, you have spawn points everywhere and you're in control. Attain the high ground, eliminate air presence, and barricade the center so you cant have the same thing done to you.

That's because 8 out of 10 Vanu are in DaPP. There are twice as many DaPP players online right now then the next biggest outfit has total players.

pretty much never saw it happen, tho
>>143819651
Pretty funny when a shitter bus went over your mines though.
Would the game be moreFUNif the tank abilities were swapped around? Vanu getting shield, nc lock down and tr thruster.
>>143821158
For VS maybe.
>>143821158
No one wants magburn. They'd end up having to admit it's a shitty ability.

>Magrider finally gains a usable ability
>Another MBT gets a hard nerf
Sign me the fuck up
>>143821158
>Vanu getting shield
Yes, because what the fagrider really needs is to be even harder to kill.
>>143824861
>Magrider
>Hard to kill
The hard counter to a Magrider is not being shit at aiming
The hard counter to a Vanguard/Prowler is that there is no hard counter because their abilities directly affect objective stats, meaning skill stops mattering
>>143825115
you would think for a bunch of faggots constantly spamming aim better they'd have figured that out by now.

Oh hey cucked irl anon.
Will planetside 2 ever get better movement? And unfuck vehicle controls while in reverse? I don't recall any other game forgetting that you're supposed to turn the opposite way while reversing.
>>143829476
you can change the vehicle controls in the menu, dude
So having studied up, am I right in making this statement?
The Magrider is the worst tank when you lack a turret gunner, but the best tank in the game when you have a good gunner.
I don't know which of you faggots is in that VS olGal on Hossin right now but I think it's time to ease off the bandwidth and mine some bitcoin
>>143829962
It's worse in all situations because it's conceptually balanced around PS1's game engine, where you had very different cliff physics and actual, uncrossable bodies of water to give Vanu its gimmick.
Except they don't realize this and don't weight the engine disadvantage into the balancing, instead thinking the Magburner alone weighs the same as siege mode or the shield with everything else being equal. This leaves the Magrider as one of the most underwhelming vehicles in the game regardless of loadout or crew.
It gets even better when the Magrider's """""""maneuverability""""""" lets it stomp on newer players who can't track a tank going 40kmh or don't know to turn the Prowler's ass away from the enemy before deploying, which heavily skews the stats and makes it harder for them to balance it.
>>143829962
nah 2nd best with a gunner
still can't beat a memekeeper prowler 2/2
What's the non-meme emerald outfit for TR ?

Do people use aimbots in this game?
I'll die if i stick my foot out and occasionally die behind cover
>>143838330
The game is processed clientside with some generous lag compensation and cheating is pretty real aswell right now.
>>143838551
so in a big firefight I shouldn't expect accurate hit counts on my end?
How bad is cheating atm?why do people even cheat isn't that boring?
>>143838765
It is accurate till someone kills you on there client and the time it takes for yours to receive the you ded packet.

Hey guys. Nice to see you all again, nice to be around again. Just recently got a new PC and now I'm able to get back in and enjoy the action here. The game's deadening, and my outfit's defunct, but there's still some good moments, cool people, fun times.
Anyway, everything's splendid but there's one issue that I've been having and have had a bit of in the past, even a year or so ago with my other PC. However the game might run, which right now is perfectly fine, it runs significantly worse when first starting up, or even after that, when going to a new area or something. For instance, if I wanted to go fly a Gal and do a drop I'd have to forget about it because I'm looking at massive seconds-long lag spikes right around the moment when I should be positioning for a drop. It sucks. It clearly has something to do with loading things into memory for the first time, but I'm not exactly sure what the issue is. Turning down any in-game setting has not helped in any significant amount. Does anyone know of a possible solution for this?
>>143842735
aim better
>>143842735
infiltrator
>>143842971
Some people get introduced to hitching with the last update (not me) so there's really nothing you can do if turning setting down isn't helping you. Turn everthing to low and then try it out, if the same shit is still happening with everything low then there's not much you can do except wait for the next patch.
If it goes away just start turning you setting back up little by little to try to figure out what it might be. Sure I don't need to say but just turn shadows the fuck off.
>>143825115
>The hard counter to a Magrider is not being shit at aiming
Anyone who says this is clueless and has never actually shot at magriders before.
It's a mathematical impossibility to hit depending on range and what sort of pattern the driver uses, simply due to AP round travel time.
>>143844292
Yeah, like I said, did already play around with turning everything down and I know about tweaking and turning things up that are less drain on the build, I've worked with a lot of potato PCs in the past, I know the game.
But yeah, not making any real difference. Thanks for the advice though, it helps. It's a bit reassuring to know it's not just me. I'll have to bite the bullet for now, I guess, do a recon run before diving in with a Gal or Sunderer.

>>143877809
it counts if you kill dummies in VR
otherwise become an honourobu kamikazi pilto, and crash into a zerged sunderer, or enemy ground farmer
>>143878807
thanks senpai but my question still stands
is flying fucked or i'm just doing it wrong?
I'm quite good in flight sims generally
>>143878974
I'm no ESF pilto, but my general understanding is that your prior experiences mean nothing. They're vtol's, and the entire meta around dogfighting is based on a bug(?) that let you fly backwards, that's now acknowledged as fine. You need to get the hang of hovering basically. That's most important. Don't treat them like jets, they aren't.
If you want an easier time as a pilot in general, learn to pilot a battle-gal - they're quite easy to get the hang of, and fun when you squish lightnings. After that, a lib isn't nearly as daunting to get a hold of, and you can truly become a farmer - plus it's your gunner farming in that, so aiming isn't an issue.

>>143898570
You can still be decent if you make good use of positioning. Positioning is more important for kills than reflex.
And male reaction speed/dexterity plateaus ~25 until you start getting to about 60+ years old where it drops off further. So the teenage whippersnappers might have you beat on pure reflex, but it's not by a crazy amount.
What you're lacking is muscle memory and training, which you get with practice.

Can the enemy actually hear the voice macro taunt?
I've been crouched halfway up a wall spamming v6 at an NC patrol for twenty minutes as they tried to sweep me, and I paused to wonder if they could actually hear it.
>>143936740
Yes.
But when I hear a player doing that sort of thing, it's obvious that they're a single nub-dick lone wolf infiltrator trying to score a kill with their maximum skill cloak suit.
The best thing you can do to combat those players is make them hump a wall for 20 minutes without any action and give them enough solitude for them to question their life choices.

>>143940732
Old Scarred Mesa was a goddamn nightmare and stupid as fuck, and don't try to deny it. You needed massively overwhelming numbers camping the spawn within the first 30 seconds of an attack, or you just sort of auto-failed.
Now that its gone they need to do something about Subterranean Nanite Analysis next.
>>143941143
sna needs to be bigger with more entrances, bigger rooms with more cover, (and spawn room exits) and maybe even an underground sunderer garage.
The only problem with kwahtee and sna (and kwahtee to a lesser degree than sna) is when the attackers/defenders get stuck in impassable corridors or hallways with no flanking options.
>>143941570
>when the attackers/defenders get stuck in impassable corridors or hallways with no flanking options.

Q: Is it just me, or is NC underwhelming in every fucking category? Subpar ground game, useless air game.
>>143934653
They didn't. It's even easier now to camp bases with Prowler cancer.
>>143949160
Scatmax/Slugmax is insane when played right.
Harraser is the weakest across the board, as are ES secondaries. Vannie is ok, on pair with Magrider but both are outclassed by a Prowler (even more now, since prowlers can melt just about any base in a second)
>>143949160
Well, maybe.
I can't really say for sure what's wrong with NC other than they have the lowest win ratio by a wide margin and it's almost certainly not the fault of the playerbase, as the alert win ratio imbalance effects every server, including the playstation 4 servers.
>>143949776
>>143949810
I ask because I've been exhaustively VR testing things, and I find myself loving TR. They have the smallest, most maneuverable ESF and it really reminds me of Battlefield 2142 and threading underpasses. Also, the Prowler is fucking magnificent.

Canister is easily marauder tier in farming power. Their anti-infantry harassers are top level. Even better than TR possibly, because you still retain the option of a fury / splash farm weapons on top of a high alpha "regular weapon". TR just gets access to the splash farm.
When you combo the canister with prox radar, you can do some extremely nasty things to infantry.
t. all faction playing harasser main
>>143953364
Why is the canister better than the kobalt?
>>143953396
because you can't ADAD out of a canister's line of fire
>>143953364
>>143953396
>>143953672
whycome NC can't into kobalts
>>143953396
You don't need to worry about headshots half as much, spread makes it far easier to run with a gunner for drive-by's (my personal experience with a kobalt is that you basically need to solo or have an MLG pro gunner, due to aiming while mobile), you can also farm blobs more easily due to fitting multiple enemies into each shot. There is also the ability to kill the heavy before he gets the rocket off, and the ability to instakill infantry the second they peak corners (this is important with prox radar, because you've got ESP about when they'll peak said corners). With the kobalt, you'll occasionally get heavies peaking for 1/4 a second to shoot a rocket at you and retreat - with the canister they die instantly.
Where the kobalt shines is at range, but even then, at kobalt ranges, the canister isn't particularly bad.

Giving all ESF's default engagement radar - ie, making it near mandatory to run stealth on anything other than a gal. It basically means that ground farmers cannot be surprised anymore. They're also adding in new fuel-tanks, so that those same ground farmers should have no trouble escaping to friendly territory or their warpgate if someone jumps them. Also something about nerfing A2A missiles.
They're tinkering with other stuff too. Last I heard, they nerfed the airhammer to below banshee tier. I think they're going to reverse that though. They're nerfing walker velocity as well, and supposedly were going to buff hyena missile damage on the lib, but airchavs sulked so it's staying as a useless impossible to hit with tickle-cannon as it was before. LPPA was going to get a nerf, but airchavs sulked and I think they're not going to nerf its damage anymore - or less of a nerf - instead just reigning in the magazine size from extremely high to just high.
They're completely ignoring the valk on this air vehicle balance pass. It remains a meme vehicle only used seriously for c4 fairy nests.
Rocklet rifle is a shit joke that no-one asked for, that's being pushed as a pet project by bandanaman. It's literally only being made so they can have people impatiently pay money to unlock the new fire modes, instead of buying with certs. Just think explosive bolt crossbow - but every single light assault has one.
>>144003364
160% normally, about 260% when anchored.
4 anchored prowlers have higher damage output than 10 Vanguards/Magriders
>>144004503
These "buffs" as you put them sound like they are made to appeal to crops on the ground to encourage them to pull shitty ESF to suicide bomb with.
In reality these "buffs" are the same thing every other buff has been, a nerf to others to appeal to a vocal minority, in this case it is crops who dont realize that sitting as a LA in the middle of a field will get you killed.
>>144004638
jesus christ, how is that balanced
>>144002943
Scatmax eats infantry like rice in enclosed environments, get a shot-"fun" on each arm and you're a walking blender for anything short of another max or a heavy assault at range.
To get a little more range out of your shotguns you can equip slugs, but that reduces your close-range room-clearing power, however, it makes you sorta ok at midrange and you're still bamf enough to survive a while with pocket engie.
I love TR, but when you learn to aim NC weapons seems to be the most fucking dangerous
>>144005542
>jesus christ, how is that balanced
:^)
>>144004503
>Just think explosive bolt crossbow - but every single light assault has one.
And the TR version has something like 5x the burst DPS as the other two.
>>144005542
It's not true. 60% more DPS without anchor, but the shield balances it out. 170% more with anchor, but it only helps if the Prowler was anchored before the fight begun. To anchor, the Prowler must stop first and then hope that the ground is flat enough.

Oh.
They are buffing the fucking Emissary. The gun was balanced around having low DPS. Now Wretard is buffing its damage per shot. It's literally like making the NS-15M do 167 damage per shot.

And that's enough to matter because Vanguard has the alpha damage, shield is always usable (unlike anchor) and its easier to hit 1 shot than consecutive 2 shots

>>144019421

Yes, that's because they made big changes to the queue system. Here's the tldr:
>if your faction has 10% more pop (relative) than the lowest pop faction and there are more than 150 players on the cont, you'll be placed in a warp queue
i.e.: it has absolutely nothing to do with the game supposedly being more alive. Of course, they put it in in the same patch as construction to make it look like the game is alive, and fool goys into thinking they should drop more shekels on the game.

To climb a hill in a vanguard, you need to reverse up it.
You have more traction/higher ground friction moving in reverse.
I don't understand why, but that's what they did.
>>144030186
Some are, but most delta shaped craft are of human origin. That being said there are simply too many craft in the air and of too varied of designs for all of them to be ours.
The aurora is just a public disinfo effort, the actual craft look more like the TR-3B, however now the series is on its 8th iteration.
>>144030457
Hmm, pretty cool, looks a lot like some of the stuff americans already fly. Like the f117 and b-2 and b-21.

Back when wrel announced he was going to tamper with HVA, he said SPA would be getting altered too.
This coming update has a HVA nerf, so it can be assumed a SPA nerf is on the horizon soon as well. I reckon his attempts to fix what isn't broken will end up breaking it. The new HVA is now pretty much useless on all guns now, when it had 5 or 6 it was okay on before.

OK, try to imagine yourself in the NC Biolab. You get your first look at this "six foot heavy" as you enter a clearing. He moves like a bot, lightly, bobbing his head. And you keep still because you think that maybe his visual acuity is based on movement like TR - he'll lose you if you don't move. But no, not the NC heavy. You stare at him, and he just stares right back. And that's when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the side, from the other two heavies you didn't even know were there. Because NC Heavy's a teamkiller, you see, he uses coordinated attack patterns and he is out in force today.

They fucking broke the game again. Overshit looks more and more attracting every day.
So... I haven't touched this game since january. Did the game improve since then? How is the pop? Is the grind the same?

>Did the game improve since then?

>Is the grind the same?
yesnot that it was particularly grindy six months ago
>>144120887
You pretty much had >>144121063 cover all the basics - but if you're unsure (especially in regards to what weapons are considered best / shit), run it by /twg/. It'll help you avoid memes like the spitfire turret.
If you think you're going to be keen on vehicles, it can be nice to reserve some of your babby certs on a secondary MBT gun / harasser gun. If that's your thing, run which one you're considering by twg, and you'll be told if it's shit or not.
>>144115360
I've actually started using them now. I feel so good memeing on people in my basi harasser, and it sounds so good at the same time. It's an extremely audible siren of meme usage. Drake on the lib sounds great too.

Also good to hear patch day went the usual route, those new loading screens are awful.
What would the game be like if it was balanced by the self-proclaimed "good" and "competitive" players? You know, the ones that main Betelgeuse heavy.
>>144142478
Infantry, Vehicles, and Air only 1v1 only other units of the same type. Getting a kill assist gets you banned.
Anything that isn't VS HA, a Prowler, or a Mosquito gets removed from the game.
>>144142798
>Prowler, or a Mosquito
>>144142478
Arcing tank ammo with minimap ping on hit for artillery bombardment and the Vanguard gets a hypervelocity charging railgun as a cannon option.
>>144142798
>a Prowler, or a Mosquito
HE cannons, rocket pods and Banshee would sure get removed though
>>144142856
Yes. Unless you're suggesting a competitive player use something other than the absolute best ground and air unit?
the duster isn't as terrible as people would have you believe, besides the CoF it's pretty strong.
>>144142798
Since when is the Prowler the best 1v1 tank?
>>144143075
They balance its accuracy """"""""""problems""""""""""" by having it do absurd amounts of damage to vehicles on top of fucking infantry. I guess their logic was that you weren't supposed to actually hit a MBT with a full mag.
>>144143323
the accuracy really isn't even the problem, the velocity on it however is absolutely awful and really makes the CoF issue seem worse. if you can get it close enough, the duster pretty much melts anything with all 10 shots, especially spear and AA turrets. it kills turrets faster than a shredder, which was nice. trying to shoot anything but the dumbest of pilots with the duster is a total dice roll though.

Would do the same for the phoenix
Only real reason to use the phoenix in the first place is to hit magriders, and the lancer does that way better and can hit harassers, aircraft, and maxes better too.
I seriously wish the phoenix did like twice as much damage as it does right now. If it's going to have such a long reload time then at least give it the high alpha damage it should have to compensate for it.

meme names that inspire laughter are succeeding in their intended purpose
So how did the whole "TR-Crown" Thing become a meme?
>>144180895
when the game was in it's early days, they would all pile into the crown and sit there. The original crown was pretty much a fortress and was a bitch to take if it had just a few defenders, shit was all but impossible to take when there were a bunch of people defending.
>>144181227
Damn, sounds like fun. As much as I like fair and balanced gameplay, sometimes making a base hard to take makes it more fun.
>>144180895
The Crown is under NC control after an unlock, and is extremely easily defendable. Its also a total meatgrinder.
The maymay is that once TR takes The Crown from either NC or VS, TR keeps The Crown for the reminder of the cycle, which usually is the case.
>>144181390
the three points used to all be on the summit, for reference
I have no idea why they decided to nerf it over and over. It was the most beloved base in the game.
what is dubbel chan's ps2g equivalent?
Newish TR player here, currently saving up 1000 certs to get a dual weapon for my MAX. Most guides say to get a 2nd AA gun but I guess those are outdated as when I tested it in VR they were useless against personnel and only useful against aircraft. Should I get a 2nd chaingun for anti-personnel power or stick with 2 of the mortar/AA guns.
P.S I already have a lock on launcher for heavy assault AA.
>>144181612
the second pounder is a solid buy
>>144181612
Burster max is a great way to farm certs in a zerg, but you're not gunna get many kills on ground targets. Honestly it comes down to personal preference: AA gameplay or anti infantry
>>144181612
>get a mercy instead of the default pounder, get ext mags
>get charge to rank 3
>get kinetic armour and max it
>get another mercy instead of the heavy cycler, get ext mags on it too (always take ext mags on skillsuit weapons, literally no drawbacks)
>max charge
get them in this order.
also, if you're decent, double pounders are excellent
>>144181612
If you want the chaingun, then go for it. The 2nd burster is one of the best purchases you can get though but as you said it's just for removing chavs from you sky. Hell you might want to look at getting the 2nd pounder, you can still fuck up infantry but you can also fuck up other maxes and do pretty decent against vehicles that are close.
>>144181604
Same as here just on main/v/
>>144181612
That heavily depends on your playstyle preference, a TR MAXs endgame is always double Mutilators for clearing rooms, cause thats what TR MAXs are best at. If you want AA capability you need dual gorgons.
Just remember that its a 1k certs you could be spending on a gun you can use 90% of the time on 5 classes instead of 10% of the time on one class.
Genrally upgrading MAXes is a priority below vehicles but above air.
>>144181612
If you decide to buy a second chaingun, do not under any circumstances buy a second heavy cycler.
The heavy cycler is an exact copy of the cheaper mutilator, but with about half the magazine size. Pounders are very good utility weapons. Decent at AV, and good at anti-infantry if you find a chokepoint to splash damage or direct hit people. In terms of suit slot, I find flak saves me more than kinetic. Most of my MAX deaths come from c4 or grenade/HE spam, small-arm deaths you can avoid through not over-extending, or using charge to escape. It might have more utility with lockdown, I never bothered certing that though.

And the funny thing is it will perform better at range than Soft Point. The drawback of -2m to minimum is not going to make much a difference in the way of +20m maximum and no added recoil.
Here's the kicker. High Velocity's actual velocity buff has been nerfed, but because of that most of the guns base velocities increased.

One of the devs posted some stats recently showing NC had twice the percentage of team damage that the TR and VS had, but we never got any absolute numbers, just the percentage.
Some people speculated that NC was actually doing less damage to the enemy, but similar team damage and that was the actual cause of the disparity, so I went and dug around for some teamkill statistics and found pic related
So NC has 2x the team damage, but equal teamkills; how does that even work? My guess would be that NC is deficient in accuracy, HE/AOE weapons, and airpower. While teamkills involve more or less unavoidable situations that are common across all factions. (e.g. grenades, someone walking in your line of fire, roadkills)
>>144194607
why exactly is 2kd bad
last i saw, the average kd was below 1.00, so someone with 2kd is probably better than 50% of the playerbase.

Leaving that stat in the game was one of the worst decisions SoE ever did
>>144195683
Somebody theorized that NC developed a culture of shooting each other, but usually not to the point of death. love taps.
it could also be because most NC weapons do high damage, so a shot from a gauss will do more than a cycler and therefore raise the team damage quicker.

>>144180895
Back in the early days, the warpgates didn't rotate and there were no lattices.
TR was always in the north warpgate, VS in the southwest, and NC in the south east canyons.
Due to the angles of approach, TR had an unexpected advantage in holding the Crown because VS and NC would harass each other constantly at Crossroads. Because they had it all the time, it became a symbol for them.
In addition, back in those days there was ONE capture point, and it was in the god damned tower. So you needed a massive push to make your way up the hill and into the tower while being fucking pummeled by dozens of defenders. So dedicated defenders could hold the Crown for a LONG time.
Defending it was also FUN, so long as the attackers were constant. And successfully taking the Crown felt like a victory. A REAL victory, not a "victory" you receive because some kids camped in autism fort and played Euro Mining Simulator 2016.

>2 KDR may be 80th percentile, but that means nothing when the average planetman is playing at 20 FPS on a toaster with 3 cm/360 sens.
It also means nothing when the active player base is a tiny fraction of all planetmans that have existed. Most new players get farmed and quit with KD of 0.2 or less, and thus dilute the stat pool. The average BR100 KD is more than 2.
>>144198293
>Also: 2 KDR may be 80th percentile, but that means nothing when the average planetman is playing at 20 FPS on a toaster with 3 cm/360 sens.
But that doesn't matter anon. If someone is better than most of the playerbase, then they're still better than most of the playerbase, regardless of whether or not the playerbase is full of drooling retards. If that were the case, then most 5kd+ players would be questionable because they're fighting the same retards.

Not only is that false, but Higby switched factions a lot. He only used weapons a few kills past aurax, and has purpled six ARs on each faction.
Mind you , I'm not saying NC ARs are bade, they just aren't better than the other factions'.
>and Connery was a bot server before the chink invasion.
And yet, Mattherson managed to be even worse (besides for the wannabe MLG crowd that played there because they wanted to farm said bots)

>>144197878
It should be done in the same way a binary search is done.
You start with a large change, observe results.
Hit or miss, you swing it back but to a lesser degree, observe results.
Repeat until you've zeroed in on your target.
With that said, most of the actual firearms in this game would be trivial to balance properly with a small amount of statistical analysis on their accuracy at various ranges. (e.g. knowing if the avg acc at 30m with a gun is 20%, and the HSR is 15% - you can then calculate observed (not theoretical) DPS at that range for the average player - further compare this with how much fighting takes place at that range so you can weight how important being effective at that range is)
Anyways the problem here is that DBG just doesn't do any statistical analysis to begin with. Or if they do, it's extremely simplistic and 'fun' data. They never share anything actually useful or relevant to the gameplay.
>>144198819
airhammer didn't really need a nerf
I mean, it is what it is - a flying shotgun. The only problem with it is that it's a flying shotgun. You can't fix it without changing what it is.

Sure, but they're not good FPS players.
2 KDR is significantly above average, but it doesn't mean you're a good player. And you shouldn't take advice from a bad player that thinks he's good.

Another problem I've noticed is that while some guns have notable faction-specific traits, people cry that they should be nerfed, which leads to pretty much the same weapon in 3 different colors. This is counterpoint to PS1 where the guns were fairly unique. Granted, there were a much fewer weapons in PS1, but it still seems worth noting.
>>144199529
All it really needed was its A2A toned down. Still, they seemingly can't figure out a way to do that without fucking it up across the board. It's so absurd.

>>144199812
>All it really needed was its A2A toned down
No, not really. To be effective at AA with it, you had to be really close; anything more than 50 m range meant you'd lose every single time, and if you're decent at hover dueling, it's very easy to put some range between you and an opponent.
Also, the TTK at dicksucking range was comparable to the LPPA and longer than the Banshee (at a range at which you'd get ~100% accuracy with all three), but past that only the banshee was half usable.
Again, it gets people mad because it's a shotgun.

Not a good idea because it takes time to see if the change worked. Overnerfing and then slightly rebuffing months later is what they already do.
>>144199812
Toning down the A2A was as simple as reducing the amount of damage it does to vehicles. (Quite simply, they could and should've just made the AI noseguns do nothing to all vehicles)
But whatever the fuck wrel is trying to do with it - I don't fucking know.

You don't need to because everyone immediately recognizes your posting style. It's not like we have a nuge number of unique posters here.
>>144199310
I agree.
There were better and more obvious ways to make the Crown exposed without dumbing it down and making it easier to take. The most obvious would be to add benefits to cutting off the base from your warpgate (an SCU cutoff timer and/or defenders can't refill the cap progress bar). Instead, they just neutered the base.
The Crown was the one of the only really dependable base in a game where defense was somehow harder than offense. Yet all of the "hard to take" bases are the most iconic and the ones players remember because there's a sense of accomplishment in taking them.
(e.g. think of SNA. Now, how many other minor bases can you name off the top of your head on Amerish? Without looking at a map, can you name the two bases connected to SNA on the lattice?)
But the Crown was vastly superior to SNA because SNA is a confusing hole in the ground whereas the Crown was visible and on a hill, and even new players could figure out what they needed to do there.
I'll never understand why SOE/Daybreak think that playing whack-a-mole with distant cap points and generators is more fun than honest base assault mechanics.

That's a problem with their level of competence, not a problem with the search algorithm itself.
When you make balance changes you need a week or two to observe what the actual effects of the change were before you consider more changes.
What DBG doesn't do is revisit things after a nerf or buff. They nerf/buff and then pretend it's settled and balanced and never needs to be looked at again.

I don't think that's long enough. Changes to something will always make people check it out and that alone skews the stats.

>2 KDR is significantly above average, but it doesn't mean you're a good player. And you shouldn't take advice from a bad player that thinks he's good.
But they aren't bad players, as you just pointed out. Yes it might be worthwhile to place more weight on advanced or expert players, but if you act like a tool then people aren't going to listen to you much anyways (unless you happen to have some charismatic trait, BCP comes to mind). If a 4kd person is listening to a guy with 2kd then yeah, take it with a grain of salt. But if that 2kd guy is saying what 'pro' players would say anyways, then what's the problem?
There's also the question of -how- somebody gets a 2+ kd. If I go and look at the top 5 killers on the ps2 stat tracker, then I can see that the top 5 have bolts in either the first or second slot, or a heavy weapon. It's 3 TR followed by 2 VS. Daddy actually has 3 different weapons close together in kills, them being Tsar TAR and NC-17 in that order. This general finds boltshitting undesirable, and heavies and tanking have a questionable reputation at best. All that said, those kinds of people are present at any k/d.
>Not like the game has been playable for the last month anyway.
That I can agree on.

That's ultimately why any of this KDR talk is meaningless (inb4 shitter). If you're talking about scenario-based shooters, then you've got a point. If you're playing an 8v8 match in classic CS on dust, then a high KDR almost certainly helps your team win the objective. Because the stage and goals of the operation are narrowly defined and everyone plays a part.
But PS2 is massive, and a person can reasonably rack up kills while accomplishing nothing. A boltshitter who finds a good unmolested spot on a cliff outside a 96v96 tech plant fight and racks up kills on people as they spawn at a sunderer might be racking up a sick KDR. But he's not actually accomplishing anything meaningful for his team.
KDR in PS2 measures both skill and intention. If your intention is to maximize kills in a safe way and you've got a KDR of 2.5, then you're probably shit. But if your intention is to be at the front line of every highly-contested infantry fight and to be the first on every point, and you've got a KDR of 2.5, you're probably pretty skilled.

I have 1.5 and I play on the front line, where does that put me
