Grind Edition
Update: the much-awaited hevy salt nerf is finally through! The average player is almost unaffected, but tryhards have switched to maining skillsuit and infil. Out of the frying pan, into the fire.
Also, a bunch of other shit nobody really cares about.

You're an LA with a shotgun, learn to flank if possible. Don't take part in huge fights unless it's a tower / biolab with even pop and you can get inside somewhat safely.
Get the jump on people if possible, if there is a group of enemies; flash and then go in, also aim better.
>>145486982
I can kill one or two, but the other twelve spot me and kill me anon

Slugs are only good just past the range where shotguns start to lose effectiveness. Equip either a 1x or a 4x scope depending on if you're going indoors or outdoors, aim down sights at all times even at point blank, only fire once the aim resets at longer ranges. obviously try to aim for headshots since headshots are a 2 hit kill at any range IIRC
At the ranges where the slugs turn your shotgun into a mini semiauto sniper rifle, they have so much drop and move so slowly that you're only going to be hitting maxes, spitfire turrets and Gustavo

I know what you mean.
I took this screenshot a few weeks ago. 33/33/32 split, NC has 0 victory points, yet TR and VS are literally not fighting over a single territory.
I don't think it's meta or anything. I think they just both find NC easier to fight than deal with each others bullshit.

I've taken to lurking both. I definitely prefer here, but I don't think it was their general that killed it. Theirs is hardly more active than this one. I think the death was more from the broken dreams that came with construction being shit. People gave up.
I'd have honestly quit after construction, if it weren't for my outfit.

>>145509742
I think the number of "git gud/t. shitter" voices reached critical mass and no one wants to post here anymore.
They were always present, but they've become a seriously high percentage of posts as of late.
>>145507802
And earlier today on one continent NC and VS were both even with like 42% pop each and NC was winning with like 9 VP to VS 3, but then the other continent locked and suddenly everyone flooded in with fairly even pop across all factions and it ended with another VS lock
TR is always focusing on NC and ignoring VS. Probably because prowlers beat vanguards in armor pushes but magriders are 2sneaky for simple prowler drivers to deal with
>>145507802
Isn't the whole 'faction X doesn't fight faction X and only focuses on faction X' the same thing everyone says and silly to take seriously?
>>145512182
It demonstrably does happen sometimes, e.g. two 96+ fronts on your line and only one small 24-48 fight on the enemy's line. To believe the same thing doesn't happen just as often to the other two factions is silly.
>>145512182
i check the map and measure whos fighting who how much by the number of little explosions appear
blue border always has little explosions all over the place, whereas there is often a distinct lack of explosions between red and purple during off hours, and during primetime it picks up some, though population wise it always seems like both factions are dedicating more to exploding along blue territory lines, and NC often seems to be fighting in one additional front than the other factions.
Though its really a matter of 'people dont like fighting vs', particularly newer players since VS have so much bullshit going on like free night camo. I noticed both on connery AND on emerald, as both tr and nc, that people tend to not want to fight vs as much. This is why vs does so well i think even though the other factions both have some really good empire specific stuff, they are just less fun to fight because of all those alien hax.
>>145512182
Except it does.
It's not like shadowy forces are making decisions. It's mostly that no one wants to fight VS.
>>145514253

Completely false.

PS2's #1 leader in kills...
>>145515470
people like you and me want to fight vs to kill gay aliums. But the average person dose not want to fight vs. I did not want to fight vs when i was new to the game either, they are just automatically harder to fight. Their maxes are thinner so harder to hit, their aoe spam is bigger, their mbt can climb fucking walls, they are completely invisible at night.
Sure, once you learn how the game works, its mostly ok. But most people dont know how the game works.
As much as this game is bad at telling people how to do, well anything, can they not have bothered to put hive efficiency maps in game or give a hud indicator for when retards put up terrible hives that lock everything else out?

All pistols are done (except directives)
Aphelion or Saron on the Mag? I feel like Saron is better, but I already have that on my Harasser.
Or maybe even PPA? I'm running AP on the main.

>>145530747
OP used ancient pasta for some reason, see >>145509742
Only lewds can save us now.
>>145528510
Saron probably fits it better, with ability to magdump when peeking. That was my impression when I ran with a magrider pro friend of mine who had both.
Aphelion is exceptional on a harasser though. It's just a straight up better vulcan. If you haven't already got it - get it. It's OP as shit, just no-one spams it, so it'll never get nerfed.
PPA is shit. Get a kobalt instead if you plan to kill infantry, though you'd be better in a fury harasser or bus for that.
>>145536908
I guess I'll just pick up the Saron again.
Could you elaborate a bit more on the PPA vs Kobalt deal? Very few people actually talk about the "shit" weapons in the game.
>>145536984
Well, I can mostly talk about it from a harasser perspective, as that's what I tend to main vehicle wise.
Basically, PPA is extremely inaccurate (think harasser bound duster), along with a relatively small magazine, along with mediocre damage.
As a result, you've a very small effective range (unless tap firing - greatly increasing your time to kill) weapon, that can really only kill 1 or 2 people per magazine.
It's a very mediocre weapon, and in context of the canister and marauder as its competition - it's absolute shit. Against groups up close, you'll be caught reloading before they're dead, and die, against solo players, they'll either medkit through your damage if at range, or you'll straight up miss them due to bloom.
A kobalt however tends to work quite nicely on a solo harasser (or driven sunderer - it's more a stable platform, I assume it's good on magriders too). It's a headshot machine that nearly never needs to be reloaded. You can easily pick off lone targets out for a good range, and spam down clumps. It has a good TTK, and generally it's a very solid weapon.
I guess the only reason you'd take the PPA over the kobalt is for splash damage - but then again, I'd take a fury for that. It does the job better, and is far more reliable over range once you've got the arc down. Fury is just a less specialised marauder, so it fills the niche perfectly.
Really, the aphelion is nearly as good at anti-infantry as the PPA once you become proficient with the disk mechanic.
>>145537660
Thank you very much anon.
Final bump.

>>145537660
it should be noted that the PPA is a godly zerg weapon. when many tanks are using it in the same fight, generally no infantry are left standing.
it's also pretty easy to use meaning any shitter can hop in your crab and start pewing
>>145543295
I'm pretty sure I didn't die a single time to ground PPA since the nerf. I'm dying a lot more to Gatekeepers that are supposed to be an AV weapons
>>145543614
well the gatekeeper is broken, everyone knows that
roughly the same infantry DPS as the PPA, travels fast as fuck, deals good damage to vehicles too
point still stands that the PPA is a good zerg weapon
What would you say was the main reason lots of people stopped playing this game?

wow
>>145547589
Well, it actually does.
I can't fucking see them at night. The dark colors blend into shadows and break up their silhouette. They're easier to lose in visual noise, and harder to spot before they open fire on you.
Meanwhile NC and TR run around in highly contrasting red and blue.
VS's armor needs to go back.
>>145548276

I honestly don't know, but I can't understand why they persist in never fixing it.
Anyone got those comparisons of the solid black camo on vanu armor vs the default camo?
so how about that new high velocity ammo?

The date on this file is September 1st, 2014 but I think it's still pretty much the same except with more bits and bobs for new helmets.
>>145550446
You piqued my curiosity so I went a digging to find what the VS sheet looks like now.
Not quite as pitch black, more of an iffy indigo-type color, but still nowhere as near as contrasted as the original skin.
Look closer too and you'll see there's even LESS teal, with the last little bits having been turned a sort of blue-grey that's way less standout than the teal was.
>>145550928
VS needs the bright pinkish/purple highlights on the edges like >>145548276
The solid portion of the camo can be as black as they want so long as the silhouette/outline is distinct and visible like the NC and TR.
Well, this surprised me.

>It's shit
so i shouldn't put it on my gauss saw?
Battle Rifles; statistically the same guns in every way, except the VS version has no drop and a 30m/s slower bullet.
I think this is a pretty good case example of the difference that no bullet drop actually makes - it's not much, but it's also not nothing.
>>145553529
Battle rifles are one of the only guns where the lack of bullet drop actually matters, that being very low rate of fire, higher damage semi-auto weapons that aren't shotguns.
>>145553509
There's not really any point. You barely get any velocity increase and the tradeoff is losing 20% of your max damage range.
>>145553058
shotguns are bullshit m8, so are smg infiltrators holy fuck if any faction ever went 100% smg infiltrators they would be unstoppable
Remove shotguns and infiltrators from the game, to be honest, give dildar to light assault.
>>145553597
but gauss saw is a good sniping weapon if you single shot tap it. I just love headshoting boltshitters.
The real issue is i have a disconnect of what range is in game. I dont really know how far 10meters is compared to 8 meters. I cant understand how many times i am within that 8-10 meter range. Because according to charts ive seen im better off in almost all situations having HVA unless i am shooting at something within that 2 meter window.
The inside of big rooms for example, where does that 2 meter window fall?
>>145553058

Here you go
>>145553529
where can you see these stats
i want to see the truth with my own eyes
>>145553952
thanks.
So in my experience using gauss saw i either try to stay further away than 10 meters, or im doing some emergency point holding and im peeking out a door and mowing down 5 people point blank with headshots.
That said im not sure it really matters enough to spend the 100 certs since gauss saw already rapes everything at all ranges
>>145553610
Shotguns are not bullshit, they're very good at close range and useless at medium/long range (besides for the slug baron meme). What's bullshit is that because of the retarded netcode, you can get OHKd two seconds before you see that lagging subhuman round the corner.
Also, infiltrators as a whole are bullshit, not just SMG.
>>145554090
I'm making a spreadsheet using dasanfall's numbers.
You can do it yourself if you want, the formula I'm using to determine real DPS is:
(A*B*C) + (A*B)
A = ((RPM / 60) * DMG Per Bullet)
B = Accuracy %
C = HSR %
Example, Gauss Saw:
A = ((500 / 60) * 200) = 1667.667 DPS
B = 17.9%
C = 20.7%
(1667.667 * 0.179 * 0.207) + (1667.667 * 0.179) = 360.31 DPS
Thus we get 360 DPS for someone with 17.9% accuracy and 20.7% headshot ratio using the Gauss Saw.
You can download the unfinished spreadsheets here: https://www.mediafire.com/?7u3lm7uuibir013
I've still got to add AR's, Carbines, Snipers, and Shotguns.
Keep in mind that it doesn't take into account attachments, leg damage, fire modes, or DPS at varying ranges. For instance, a Gauss Saw is able to put out more DPS at 100m than an Orion is. It's a rough approximation of real-world weapon performance on the server and aggregates all ranges and situations together.
>>145555048
sick stuff, i'll have a look at it when i get homeremember to rub it in reddits face as well
>>145554092
The benefits are miniscule/imperceptible, and while the downside itself is relatively minor, the upside is even more ignorable.
It basically does so little it's not even worth bothering with.
I don't know what the hell wrel was thinking with it.
Attachments need to offer substantial changes. Nobody gives a fuck about +5% here, or +3% there.
>>145555048
>17% accuracy
who is this bad
>>145556359
The average NC heavy assault player.
I took that number from the actual avg for the Gauss Saw.
>>145556378
Well that makes sense, but it's still disappointing.
>>145555048
>For instance, a Gauss Saw is able to put out more DPS at 100m than an Orion is.
Only by using this simplified model for DPS.
>>145556359
What are actually good numbers? I'm fairly new to ps2 and I'm sitting at 23.88% acc with a 30.18% HSR on my AF-19.
>>145557476
>infilshit
>>145557312
That statement has nothing to do with a DPS "model"
The data shows the Orion has substantially higher DPS on average than the gauss saw does - which was my point. The gauss saw is better at longer ranges where the single shot accuracy lets you do more damage more quickly than an orion would be capable of, but because the data is an aggregation of all combat situations and can't be segregated by particular range brackets, you can't see where the transitions occur that make a gauss saw better than an orion.
Now, I may entirely be wrong about the gauss saw having more DPS in practice at 100m than the orion; that's just an educated guess on my part, since accuracy at various ranges isn't available to say for sure.
But that's the sort of reason for collecting and presenting this data. You can dispel assumptions with actual facts and evidence. The methodology I'm using may not be perfect, but it's better than emotionally charged arguments on a forum for deciding weapon balance.

30% acc/35%+ HSR are good numbers to work towards
>>145564742
Interestingly enough, I think if you watched streams or videos in 2012 and 2013, or just listened to proximity chat, the PS2 playerbase was older and more mature than the average FPS.
I don't think it's like that anymore, but I think it was in the past.
>>145564930
these kinds of numbers are statgaming crap.
if people worry about their accuracy score, they aernt going to randomly spray areas thinking an infiltrator could be hiding there, for example, or may hold their fire when they see a far off man who they cant kill, but may damage enough that he ends up getting killed by a team mate a second later.
>>145565473
>if people worry about their accuracy score, t
yes, that's the point
if you manage 30% acc/35%+ HSR without explicitly trying to get big numbers, you're decent

A lot of the people playing in the early access and early release were old PS1 vets. PS1 is an old game, you have to have been old to play PS1 when it was alive.
Since PS2 never really progressed from being a call of battlemans, a lot of old vets left for other games where they can fit in with other dads, like elite

>>145573347
i find that until you max out your lib with afterburner, composite etc, the liberator is kind of eh and needs to stay at a distance, meaning the standard gun will net you more damage.
but when you do get those final certs into the lib and you realize how broken it is, by all means get the tankbuster

>is it worth it to try and learn to ESF for the soul purpose of being a ground attack platform?

It is fun if you get lucky with a few runs.
Usually go for the NC shotgun with thermal vision, proximity radar and extra afterburner with the airframe that gives you additional speed for maximum survivability.
Terrible vs armour but useful for support and sweeping an area for snipers. I just hit and run.
I suck complete utter ass in air to air, always ends up in a hover fight in close proximity which I hate so I always try to escape unless they have low health.
Rocket pods are pretty useful but I become more vulnerable and less likely to escape enemy ESFs. I don't usually take out armour since they have anti air support most of the time.
Got lucky on a few passes taking out undefended sunderers or getting the drop on a TR MBT from behind gotta be careful though some tank crews are crack shots so I try to swoop down from above where they cannot touch me unless they have AA gunner.
Generally I don't bother against libs, got lucky a few times dodging dalton with afterburner and harrasing until they crash because they stay belly up for too long and loose sense of altitude. But it is nerve wracking and they have to be terrible pilots to pull it off. One mistake and you die.
Had some success with a2a in a support role while the enemy is busy fighting other aircraft. The moment they turn attention to me I pull out.
I don't give a fuck about being a pussy ass motherfucker, I'll abuse and exploit whatever advantage I can to come on top.

The devs are actually fixing a bug from, what, beta? Is this real life?
How hasn't the MSW-R been nerfed yet? It's literally an AR for heavies. For comparison, the Orion has 0.4 moving COF and 0.9 horizontal tolerance which are normal values for LMGs.

What is the best faction/class/weapon for defending towers?
>>145590487
burgers
>>145590487
For Towers any class with flak armor will do, for Biolabs the best one is ofc LA with an accurate carbine.
LA also works when you are attacking Biolabs, especially when your faction has a teleport with a roof above. Fights like that are even better farm than on defense.
You need a couple other LAs to help clear the roof though, but after that you can just endlessly farm retards camping the air pad.

man now i'm reminded of the shark glitch from medal of honor allied assault
what would happen is, if you jumped towards a ladder and then crouched off it or pressed the use key with a certain timing, your character would bounce off and then all the different animation bones would collapse into the centerpoint of your character making you a really tiny abomination sliding around on the ground shooting dudes without them being able to shoot you back

i'd be fine with the rocklet rifle if it wasn't so fucking ridiculously powerful
it's basically a HA rocket launcher, but for the class that can fly into the air
aerial combat sounds fun though
How do i play this game. What should i do
I can't seem to git gud, i die to EVERYBODY, can't duel, can't shoot, anybody seems to magically handle the recoil where i can't CAN'T DO SHIT
HOW DO I PLAY THIS GAMEinb4 git gud, give actual helpful advice please
>>145604024
join an outfit
joinwwew
>>145604024
>gitting gud
>not actual helpful adviceaim at things all the time. aim at the guy next to you, aim at the spot on the wall, aim at the center of the doorway. as you play, never stop aiming at things. eventually you become accustomed to moving the crosshairs where you need them to be, as your body adapts the muscle memory to suit the brain and its needs. this is what is known as "aiming better". when you become proficient at getting into the mindset that leads to "aiming better", you can start trying to git gud.
did they get rid of utility pouch?
>>145605342
>>145604024
This and also aim for the head.
>>145605340
Like this anon said. Join an outfit, preferably small and communicate. Dont join platoons or squads until you know ehat youre doing and are in an outfit.
>>145605660
They split it in half. There is now a mine pouch and C4 pouch.
>>145605752
I do aim for the head. It just that everybody seem to always move aster, aim better, always know where i am and have 3 buddies to count on. And also managing that recoil when playing NC, when i hardly can touch my target
>>145605342
well yea, i come from some shooters needing rapid reaction, so i learned to always aim at corners.
But this game is worse than battlefield in the meat grinder genre. I can't seem to get better
>>145605340
I'm talking about personal improvement.
>>145606051
m8, what do these people do that you can't? why are you putting yourself in a situation where the enemy has 3 buddies and you don't? if the enemy is stronger, prepare for him.make sure you're playing on a server with a low track record of russian subhuman lag wizards
>>145606051
There are a lot of vets in this game. Start by playing passive-aggressively. Especially since anything can happen with a population this big. Once you know all of the maps and a basic player's mentality, you can start playing like an idiot(aggressive attacking).
Also, lower sensitivity, and get a bigger mousepad. I run 400 DPI mouse, and have my sensitivities for mouse in the .20's and the ADS sensitvity 1.15 times larger than the mouse sensitvitiy.
Also, turn off mouse acceleration in game and on your computer, and click reduce input lag.
Generally for aircraft and tanks, you can keep it at default, but for infantry, you need to lower it to be precise in where you want to aim, which is the head.
Also, lower your FOV. It'll mean more recoil, but you'll get used to burst-firing eventually. I feel this is better since the heads appear larger, but if you prefer to see everything and be situationally aware(which is a skill that will come with reaction and good headphones), then you can jack up your FOV to 74 or edit settings in the useroptions.ini in your planetside 2 folder in your computer files.
Also, you get better frames if you jack up textures and terrain to ultra, but turn off shadows/flora and everything else on low.
If you want to go extra tryhard, download recursion stattracker and put a crosshair for the middle of your screen as some of the crosshair sights aren't perfectly aligned in the middle.
>>145606719
My ingame settings sensitivity is 0.400
My fov is maybe 60-70
Mouse sensitivity is turned off
I just can't seem to track people, the way the game moves is... weird for me
>>145606553
It's just that everywhere i seem to go, be it a flank, a back attack or frontal assault there is someone that will wreck me.
I don't know if they are just betteri'm playing on miller
>>145607091
.400 is way too high, even if you're running low dpi. try lowering it a little every day if you're mouse can't change dpi. Or get a new mouse that can change dpi.
With one arm swipe, you should be able to turn half way around on a small mousepad, or all the way around if you have a large mousepad.
>>145607392
your* fugg
>>145607091
if you want to see what practiced low sensitivity can get you, you can look at these decent players. Most casuals would call aimbot, but the low sensitivity allows them to track head movements(ADADAing) and go to exactly where they want their gun to go(your head)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDJrNBD38xY
I don't understand how the game calculates sensitivity. It's not linear, i.e. 0.100 at 800 DPI is not same as 0.200 at 400 DPI. Why can't it use the same scale as Quake and CS:GO?

I've max stealth, so was trying to pull a wide flank on Briggs labs, the only issue was that there were more magriders over the hill that I wasn't initially aware of, who if I remember correctly, I was foolishly driving directly towards. It was terrible driving honestly. Shouldn't have been near a zerg of that size in a harasser, or if I were to, I should've just redeployed to howling pass to pull.

I made an alt for their outfit. They're all just so bad. It's like they enjoy being farmed, and then post getting farmed, they'll all spam stale memes in yell. The best part though, is that they aren't self aware of just how bad they are.
I guess they could be having fun in their own strange way, but I really fail to see how getting farmed is enjoyable.
