Refunds for construction purchases on multiple factions? Are all the minecraft blocks crossfaction now?
>>
>>154163657
>Why can't we get a refund?

The honest truth is most likely that doing a proper refund is more work than they're willing to put in, compared to what they think they can get away with fucking us on.

I mean, at this point the PS2 playerbase is pretty well established for bending over and taking it in the ass from the game's devs and management.
>>
>>154164442
>Are all the minecraft blocks crossfaction now?

They were supposed to be, with this patch, but they fucked it up and it only half works, half the time when you purchase.

>>154166420
And this was 2 years ago when you logged in, right?

VS is nerfed to shit these days, and all the population migrated to TR, where most of the overbuffed things currently reside. Mostly vehicle shit.
>>
I'm glad they really know how to keep the game fresh and make it fun for new and old players alike.
hahaha

if i get in a vehicle and the driver locks it right away, no biggie

>>
>>154168317
>>154170092

Send him a tell first, you autistic morons.

99 times out of 100 he thought his vehicle was already locked and didn't mean to fuck with you.

If you want someone to blame, whine to DBG that their vehicle system is so shitty that this kind of shit happens unintentionally.
>>

>>
>>154170262
and why would you lock your vehicle if you already think it's locked?
>>
why does the game keep crashing
>>
>>154173336
Because you found out, no, it wasn't locked when you wanted it to be (so nobody else gets in because you have other plans for your vehicle that you pulled), so you lock it.

Why would you take it as a personal affront being locked out of a vehicle when there are a billion different legitimate valid reasons why someone would want to drive solo?
>>
>>154171402
you should
>>
>>154174998
Because it's always unstable, buggy, and crashy after a game update.

Just check back in on the game in a week or two and it should be playable again. That's what I'm about to do, since I just crashed again, myself.
>>
>>154175183
Because it's rude to not give warning or explain why. They took you out in the middle of nowhere and then decide to kick you out. Now if there's any enemies nearby you're fucked. At least say sorry I thought I locked this please redeploy or get out.
>>
>>154137151
It's been doing similar to me with the deci for a long while.

It's frustrating, but werl knows what's best. He'll save me when he is ready.
>>
>>154177937
Nah, you're the cunt in this situation.

Don't go jumping into someone's vehicle and not expecting this possibility. Assume everyone who pulls a vehicle has their own agenda, and forcing yourself into their business doesn't mean you're owed any more of their time or thoughts by default.

NOW if you wanna send them a tell and THEN they're a dick about it, sure, get some revenge.

Until then, you're the asshole.
>>
>>154173336
because shitters are bad at videogames.

If I think my halberd harasser is locked, and some shittie hops in forcing me to notice that it is in fact unlocked, I'm booting him. Bads will shoot at dumb shit, miss easy shots, and get you killed.

It's not worth babysitting them.
>>

what about >>154170092 ?
>>
>>154180335
If I pick up a gunner and they're clearly braindamaged, I'll boot them after awhile.

Bad gunners will not be tolerated. Not even aim, but it's situational awareness that matters most. Why should the driver who pulled with their own agenda have to cater to shitter feelings? I'm not there to teach bads. I just want to kill lightnings.
>>
>>154166420
Your fellow NC here. VS got nerfed to shit in both vehicles and guns. For the last year every single patch had nerfs to VS and NC and buffs to TR. Some of the things TR got are fucking ridiculous, yet they aren't even planning on nerfing them.

>>
>>154184079
You seem to be trying to attempt sarcasm, but you're failing because what you've said is literally true.

Sunderers especially have way, way more uses than transport, and have some of the worst problems with retards getting in on the guns and attracting libs, MBTs, and cancelling deployment stealth field and giving away position.

Not to even mention the completely sensible desire to have no passengers if you've pulled a sunderer strictly to perform an armor support role like rep bus or ammo bus, and intend on keeping a lower profile while you play that support role.

So yeah, you're a cunt AND an idiot.

Attention, Auraxians!

Are you looking to save a little Daybreak Cash (PC) or Battle Cash (PS4) this month? Good news! We have special weekly sales hitting the Depot!

Keep an eye out for three different sales coming your way this month:

September 9-11
September 16-18
September 23-25

We’re not going to tell you what each sale is going to be just yet. For that, you’ll want to visit @PlanetSide2 on Twitter the day each sale begins. That’s when we’ll announce the category and percentage off (and you can also check in the Depot itself).

being a generic coddlefield shooter would've been fine if we still had immersive interactions with the environment

with the exception of the recent construction system, the extent to which you interact with the game environment has been using turrets and terminals, hacking generators and just generally using terrain for cover. there's literally no other element of interaction with the world. jump pads don't really count because they're just alternate pathways really

what's wrong with us?
>>
Commish or blackhand?
>>
>>154240801
Neither.

If you're fagging around as a stalker take the crossbow, it's the only thing that can reliably OHKO anymore but it also has great range.

If you're doing anything else and you desperately want an NS revolver, take the underboss.
It's superior to both in RoF, HipAccuracy, DPS and recoil.

Commish is no longer of any use as it's sole redeeming feature was inf OHKO.
>>
>>154241113
It still has inf OHKO
>>
>>154241343
not if the INF has taken extra shields, which a lot are doing.
>>
HVA is always worth equipping now right?
>>
>>154241469
no, it'll still OHKO them if they're within 30m and it's a headshot.

It will not kill them if they're using the new armour cloak, but that thing looks pretty bad now, so don't expect too much use out of it.
>>
>>154242595
NAC is easily the best cloak to use now unless you're being a stalkerfaggot, just for having 1000 health like everyone else. the cloak is pretty much worthless unless you're bolting, if you're using it close in its just sonar for anyone with ears to find and murder you
>>
>>154242595
"nerf" aside the armour cloak is the new hotness unless you're being a stalker-cunt.

Armour cloak + NW = just as much EHP as anyone else but you can turn invisible.

>>154246396
I mean, it's not a waste of money because my previous computer was a potato built in 2011
>>
>>154246135
how much RAM do you have now?

If you've got enough, use a program like DimmDrive. This sections off a portion of your ram and uses it like more standard memory, which means it is like a very fast hard drive.

If you have enough ram to load planetside into it and still have enough left over to actually play the game then loading times will be momentary.
>>
>>154246906
8 gigs
Although it might be what >>154246396 said, cause I did recycle some parts from my previous build, like my hard drive for instance. I suppose I could just put all the files on there into my new hard drive.

>i need at least one more reason to uninstall this.
>VS

I'll give you a couple.

Magriders are also the weakest MBT, and aren't even effective in armor pushes compared to the standard lightning tank that everyone gets.

The empire specific anti-infantry top vehicle guns for magriders and harassers have been brokenly overnerfed for over a year, with no hint of a change in sight. The other factions' equivalents are so much better, they dominate the role where VS cannot even contribute with theirs.

The VS MAX's empire specific special ability has been brokenly overnerfed even worse and for even longer. It basically just makes you take more damage while it's active, and that's it.

The VS's empire-specific sniper rifle is shit and always has been. It's effectively a downgrade of a scout rifle, but classified as "sniper rifle" for no apparent reason, and its main feature is a chargeup mechanic that, in order to reach full power, exposes you to being easily headshot by enemies with regular, actual sniper rifles. And it doesn't even one-hit kill at sniping ranges at full power. A sniping PISTOL that every empire gets, called the "blackhand" is literally more effective.
>>
>>154265487
Nah, the vast majority of the naysaying here is just bads and crusty old players whining to vent.

It's a great time to join the game. Best time it's ever been, in fact. Lots of newbie-friendly features have been added recently.

I only started playing a year and a half ago and I've been enjoying it more lately than when I began, by far.

Do you play aggressively, finding yourself sometimes going in a 1v2 or more situation? If yes then provided you can get some kills, go adren.

If you prefer to never take any risk and just hug a tree while camping an enemy sunderer, go with Resist + ASC.
>>
>>154273085
resist + ASC if you're good
adren + NW if you're bad
NMG + NW if you're terrible

>tfw no more resist + NW
>>
>>154270403
thing is, that's perfectly rational. you don't have to use the meta loadout, you can use other things if you want to.
but defending them as a statistical good choice is not a great idea.

>You generally should run on your own, since being around zergs (read: bad players) won't make you improve anyhow. When possible, look for 24v24 - 48v48 fights, as those tend to be decent sized without being huge clusterfucks. If you notice that the fight you're at has died down or simply doesn't suit your taste, press U to redeploy and spawn somewhere else.
If you play at low-pop times, consider joining a squad to find a fight.
If you find one that suits your taste join an outfit (which is just a fancy word for clan). Playing with the same group of people regularly tends to build up a relationship of mutual trust, which is an extremely good thing, seeing as in this game you can't even rely on an average friendly to not "accidentally" shoot you in the head.
Any outfit that spams invite is guaranteed to be full of shitters, don't join them.

Ok, so reinstalling the client worked and I can finally launch the game without crashing.
What faction to make for my welfare character? And what EU server?

I honestly have no preference at this point. Just throw something at me.
So far I played TR and VS for ~150 hours and only once did I get enough certs to unlock a new gun (Pulsar C that thing is (was?) so good), so making a new character with all the free stuff is super-appealing.

Who's it gonna be?

On cobalt right now, as it was last night and for a good while, the NC are very nearly warpgated on Amerish and Indar by a massive red tide of prowlers and harrassers, more TR vehicles than there are NC troops at any given fight.

NC have the lowest global pops but across both continents there is only a single TR-VS fight going on.

Sure is fun just immediately dying the instant you consider stepping out of spawn.

What's even better is when you see all the airchavs and notice that they are mixed TR VS and they aren't fucking fighting.

So go ahead, join the VS, it'll make you pro.

i think it's because of the nerfed colors.

terrans and vanu still retain most of their original look even though terrans are still mostly just grey and white edgyness and vanu became even darker, but NC really got the short end of the stick when everything became dark grey with blue stripes

from BRIGHT AND BOLD, BLUE AND GOLD, LIVE FREE IN THE NC

to "hey i guess our faction color blue? also everything is kind of boxy"

NC lost a big part of its identity when everything stopped looking like hotwheels toys
>>
>TFW you log on after a days work and the first thing you see is a hill covered in harrassers 5km away memekeeping relentlessly

Now if I were vanu I guess I could try a lancer but i'm not, so "Hurr durr go stand outside and manually pilot a phoenix missile" into them isn't an option because 1 I'd be dead long before it reached them 2 it doesn't actually have the range to reach them

Why does the Spain armor decal glow like the fucking sun?

Have to say, i'm loving the armour cloak changes.

I always played my inf very aggressively, more like a front-line scout than a sniper, running around with the heavies and medics instead of going it alone, that extra 100 HP doesn't sound like much but it's making a difference and I for one really appreciate it.

Yeah you probably want to avoid that, even with the extra 100 shield.

My go-to assault infiltrator gear is as follows, with a heavy note that YMMV.

>AF-6 Shadow - LACO 3.4x is beautiful
>NC08 Mag-Scatter
>Dartgun
>EMP grenades
>Betties
>Nano-Armor cloak
>Nanoweave

Fight from just behind the front line, stay mobile, don't use the cloak too much, stay with the group and don't go rambo. You're a bit of a force multiplier in a way.

The guns are to taste but don't be a CQC Bolt fuckhead, nobody likes that guy.

Keep in mind, you are still just an inf, that extra shield isn't going to keep you alive every time, you've got to be quick on your aim that's for sure.

The cloak itself however allows you to flank targets or possibly GTFO if you need to, don't use it too often though, most infs crutch on it and thus make themselves massive shitters who don't know how to play.

If you're going to be crutching on anything with this, it'll be the sensor darts, they're OP as fuck, shit them everywhere, more or less constantly.

is there a cert gain "exploit" these days so the game isnt fucking boring all the time? like i remember last time i played in 2012 you just get some people from 2 different factions to kill/revive each other over and over and you could easily make 500 certs/hour, but i read that was fixed now, and i have no friends that play this game anymore

i'm not keen on having to play for like 30 hours just to get a gun for my harasser, and then i need to upgrade all the other goddamn slots.

memesaw is the highest skill cap activity in any video game, all time. Except for maybe Q3A CPMA duels or Quake Live CPMA duels before they made it as casual as it is now.

Boosts are the 'trick', boosts + sub = double xp every fucking day of the week, you add on the 30 extra for participating on an alert continent and the possibility of getting more when pop gets unbalanced and we're talking 250% more xp for these guys.

Then you just hop in a harasser/ESF/MBT/Libby and go to the nearest 1-12 to shit on some lowbies. There, you're making 100s of certs an hour.

Are you really this retarded?
>>
>>154356470
I got to BR40 on a terran BR19 on a NC and 17 on a VS. I'm entirely bored with the game because I am tired of going to a fight, thinking "this would be more useful" then realizing getting just one of those 10+ things i am thinking would be more useful takes thousands of certs and weeks of farming time. I'm an old planetside 1 vet where you could just use whatever you wanted whenever you wanted (within reason, you could get enough battle rank in your first 2 hours in the game to use anything in ps1 you wanted, and unlock additional things from there)

not to mention ps1 certs were more of a blanket thing, you want to be a guy that uses his faction weapon (let's say TR minigun) has heavy armor, a medkit, a hacking tool, a repair gun (BANK), and a rocket launcher to deal with tanks? Okay, that's 18 certs, you start with 7 at BR1 and can gain 11 battle ranks with 1 cert per rank in a single 12 hour playsession, in one day if that's how you want to do it. All the things you unlocked don't require multiple subunlocks like optics and whatnot.

Literally impossible to do in planetside 2, and the things you can unlock will take weeks of grinding for many hours every single day to max out 1 thing such as your faction's main battle tank.

I'm uninstalling based on a lot more than just 1 person's opinion, I was hoping maybe someone had a trick to skip the absolutely cancerous grinding, but it seems like that "trick" is, as previously stated, giving Daybreak money for a game that hasn't deserved a single cent, even since launch.

What server are you on? What is your experience in planetside?

Most of that style of gameplay comes from closed mid/high tier outfit squads. When an outfit becomes too high tier, they often turn into farmfits due to reduced size, so be mindful of that. Anything too large however, and it becomes a zergfit style thing. Most good outfits for what you're describing have somewhere between 100-250 players total.

You need to identify what outfits are doing this coordinated gameplay on your server. In my experience, 90% of anything in the public squad list is to be ignored. They're zergfits herding cats. This is not where the ~true~ planetside experience lies. You need to find these outfits without open squads through the outfit browser, assuming they even exist on your server.

>>154354605
I find liberating or AV harassing (with good team-mates) to be the easiest way to do this. Vehicle kills are where the big certs lie. Each lightning or sunderer is just a container full of certs, waiting to be cracked upon.

I want it to be large, I want to play war without risking my ass and planetside looks like the perfect game for this.

Large doesn't necessarily mean rush if it's organized.

I had this tacticool ex-mooh reen guy lead a platoon once, a proper platoon with squads assigned their own tasks he's in the oufit I'm currently in ergo proxy yeah that was a "special Monday" or something

We did conquer an entire continent effortlessy, but it was *the proper planetside experience*

I could organize a thing like that, it didn't take TS3 we ran on in-game text chat.
But alas, creating outfits is behind a paywall.

I could also go by your advice and search for outfits the size of about a platoon, 50-80?

It's a shame, a game with so many vehicles and roles, they even added fireteams for further organization, and it all goes into the toilet for le epin KD arena I haz pink gunz I so stronk.

wrong
unless you have 48 people who are not braindead and willing to follow orders to the letter and one person with decent tactical sense (and all these people are at least moderately skilled), your platoon-level gameplay is completely useless.
and, 48 people matching the described characteristics are pretty much impossible to find in planetside.

>We did conquer an entire continent effortlessy, but it was *the proper planetside experience*

>I could also go by your advice and search for outfits the size of about a platoon, 50-80?
no, if you want platoon-level gameplay you'll want ~200 people. not everyone is going to be online at the same time; if you have 200 "active" players, on most nights you'll get 30-50 players

>It's a shame, a game with so many vehicles and roles, they even added fireteams for further organization, and it all goes into the toilet for le epin KD arena I haz pink gunz I so stronk.

If you're hoping for fire-team level organisation, you've no hope whatsoever within public platoons (ie the only feasible way of getting that many players regularly into a platoon). Public platoons are for farming support certs. Players within these will not have your back. They will not watch their delegated door. They will not look out for anyone but themselves.

24 well coordinated mid-high tier players will absolutely annihilate 48+ zerglings. The true feeling of satisfaction in Planetside comes from being in this group of 24.

You will have an extremely difficult time finding groups of 48+ who are organised. Are you conflating lane-zerging for VP's with capping the continent? There's a world of difference between zergfit territory conquering and HLIP gal-drops / point holds in critical locations along the frontline, breaking armor stalemates, etc.

I've only been involved in one 48 man platoon of higher tier organised players recently (several outfits came together to make it happen), and it absolutely dominated the entire server for the few hours it was active. Battle-buses dominating ground vehicles, strong air superiority, extreme infantry superiority - this type of thing is just so rare. If you've not been in one, you can't appreciate them. It's significantly better than the best of the """"""organised""""" pub platoons.

If you want good organisation - you will only find this in tight-knit mid-high tier outfits.

also >>154372586 is pretty correct with everything said.

And yes we had 48 people willing to follow orders and one guy willing to give them and they were able to breath normally apparently.
While the squads were a bit loose (mostly sundies iirc) we one squad fighting in one point, one fighting in another, one coming back to help another.
No ebin zerg with 40 tanks bombing the spawn.
If you are organized even smaller numbers can dominateand conquer a continent on their own , I'm sorry to tell you your fluo-camouflaged gun can't do much of a difference you can't out-KD a force that just bypass stalemates

well, based on your posts, you're the kind of player that takes a year to get to BR60, is still horseshit at this point, then thinks his opinions should carry weight because he's been playing for a year.

>I'm sorry to tell you your fluo-camouflaged gun can't do much of a difference you can't out-KD a force that just bypass stalemates
and again, you (in a striking similarity to the stereotypical shitter... really makes you think, huh?) seem to have this oddly specific hate for players with a high kdr.
now, let me tell you something: anyone saying that "i'm better than you because my epeen is longer" is retarded, but anyone saying that "you're a toxic tryhard because lelele epik kdr bullshido amirite XDDD" is equally retarded. non-padded kdr is strongly correlated with skill, if you don't recognize this you are retarded and bad.
also, i'm not talking about my kdr specifically, you don't know what my player name is and i'm not tripfagging, so you can safely assume that i'm not in this for personal recognition.

oh and
>your fluo-camouflaged gun can't do much of a difference you can't out-KD
i regularly hold back full squads of shitters on my own, because i'm not bad.
unlike certain players that need elaborate tactics, 48 people working together with 6 people covering each doorway and massive amounts of air and ground vehicle spam, and a pinch of luck, in order to have a slim chance of success.

Um, a lot of people here have been playing since the early days of PS1, and almost everyone has been playing since the PS2 launch. You pretty much are new.

>even smaller numbers can dominateand conquer a continent on their own
As if any of that mattered.
The problem with this game isn't toxic tryhards that """play for kaydee""", it's that there's nothing to do other than shotting mans, and toxic tryhards just so happened to have gotten gud at shotting mans. If you're good at shotting and at not getting shotted, you'll have a high kaydee.
Everyone likes to shift the blame on them toxic vets because it's just so convenient, instead of coming to the realization that they are bad at the game they can just pretend that good players are tryhards.

Cobad here, and am indded trayan' to not be shit.
There's mostly two issues here, one: I have no idea what gun is supposed to shoot what (apart from basi that shoots everything and the self-evident AA guns), and two: sudden fps drops that accompany fast travel.
Apart from that it's just lack of skill but I'm getting better at both that and compensating for bad fps (at least I hope so).
>>
>>154377356
>I have no idea what gun is supposed to shoot what
go in the vehicle loadout screen as if you were going to buy them, the descriptions are decently accurate. then, when you're inside a harasser, try to remember what the gun you see was supposed to do.
don't worry, it'll just come with time.

It's already as low as it goes (except textures on ultra because apparently that runs better) and I'm afraid of lowering render distance under 700.

>>154377356
Mjolnir, Aphelion, Vulcan - CQC AV (latter two can also service anti-infantry, mjolnir cannot)
Gatekeeper, Saron, Enforcer - long range AV (don't gun anyone who uses a gatekeeper, it's a sure sign that they're a low tier harasser driver)
Canister, Marauder, PPA - anti-infantry (PPA is awful. Do not gun for it.)

So long as you keep aware of your surroundings, prioritise burning/damaged targets-then targets hostile to you-then other targets, and don't compromise stealth, you should be okay. Basically, don't go AFK, shoot at what ensures vehicle survival / is most likely to get a kill, and know the limitations of the particular gun you've got. If it's CQC, don't plink from 500m away.

By don't compromise stealth, this is mostly in context of the CQC AV. If your driver is sneaking up on a tank or vehicle - don't give away stealth too early. He might be trying to line you up some perfect point blank ass-shots. By shooting early, all you do is ensure the kill does not occur, and risk getting yourself killed.

A lot of this learning comes with time, but if you're aware of it, it helps.

CQC harassers rely 80% on driver skill. If you can get a good driver, and can make sure to not fuck up the opportunities they give you, you'll bathe in certs. Drivers will often try to keep good gunners around. If you find one you like, throw a squad invite or something. I know I usually try keep good gunners around.

why?
also, if your FPS really are that bad, consider playing in potato mode

regarding performance, have you just altered them through the in-game thing, or through the ini files?

>why?
If the pastebin is correct max range vehicles render at is 700 and lowering render distance below that might also affect the ranges at which I see vehicles. That would be a pretty bad thing.

>consider playing in potato mode
I thought it doesn't exist and is just a meme? Or do you mean the legacy pastebin potato mode?
If it's the latter I'm pretty much there already, apart from some sound settings which have negligible impact on the performance.

Is that one of those things that basically says "if you use good guns, you're a shitter"?
>>
>>154380835
no it just says if you use anything but the burst weapons you're a shitter.

which isn't completely untrue.
>>
>>154380835
it's not about the gun being good, it's about the gun being easy to use effectively.
>>
>>154380998
Same thing, I suppose. But that's a good thing.

It's always the same in shooters though. Whenever there's a certain gun that's good/easy to use/effective when used right, people get called shitters for using them.

Sorry for using the best tools given to me, I guess.

>Sorry for using the best tools given to me, I guess
Well that's the point, it's not the best tool, it's the best tool for your skill level.
It follows that, if a certain tool is the best tool for a low skill level, and it is the best tool for you, you are bad.
>>
>>154381218
Not really.

When it comes down to it, the burst weapons are the best guns in the game.

It's just that if you're not good, you'll struggle with them, and you'd likely have been better off with a default or auto.

They have no downscaled pre-compressed textures, and they store them all in dds :)
This is basically retard-tier, because your PC has to downscale and compress the textures LIVE if you select lower-than-ultra settings.

Yes. This means it's still loading the full res "ultra" textures, then using computational power (that could have been extra frames in CPU bottlenecked systems) to make it look like shit, and only then using the shit textures, instead of just loading and using pre-packaged shit ones.
Result? A fuckload more CPU and RAM used.

Welcome to how incompetent PS2 "performance" team is, they screw up fucking entry level shit.

>tl;dr: If you have at least 1 GB VRAM set textures to ultra for extra performance at no cost.

Is TR Orbital Strike going to be underpowered?
>>
>>154391350
turn off your shadows, it will give you 30% performance buff
>>
>>154393150
here's how it's going to be

there are 2 ways they can implement orbital strikes

A) Each faction gets some flavor to it
B) Nanite systems delivers the same orbital strikes to every faction in the name of balance

in case A), it's likely that
>TR will whine about how their high damage low precision strike will be underpowered
>NC will whine about how the high precision orbital strike is impossible to aim, and even if it's powerful nobody ever manages to use it to its fullest potential
>VS will have a weird mechanic which will draw tears from both TR and NC but perform about the same as NC
>>

weird. With any modern GPU card you will most likely be CPU bound, thats why changing settings doesn't affect your FPS. Shadows on the other hand have huge impact on a CPU and usually turning them off gives you an FPS boost

doesn't it basically deal the same shitty aoe damage as an AV mana at the same fire rate, meaning you might as well just use that instead?

Yeah. It's 3 to off the shield, and 2 to kill the bus. You've got to detonate them sequentially. Maybe reversed in the order, can't recall. Honestly I usually just farm deploy buses. Too much effort to kill them.

Engineer is THE class if you want challenging gameplay in PS2. We talk big, walk big, and carry a huge bag of tricks. Some people can't handle the low health. That's cool. Some people need that kind of "great job everyone, you tried your best so your all winners" kind of gameplay. You're not going to find that on Engineer. This is the adult class. No trophies for second place here. I've played on all the PS2 classes. There are some very good players on the others. But nothing like what we have here. I see players on the other classes who do things that simply would not be possible on Engineer, because if they tried that here they would be destroyed again and again. Engineer players are simply top notch. Whether VS, TR or NC, no other class has the same level of talent. Go ahead, flame me. But if you ever want to improve your score, come play on Engineer for a while, then go back to your old class. Going and playing on Heavy AssSalt or Memefiltrator for me is like playing against bots. Engineer = Hard Mode All the rest = New to FPS games? Play here to begin your adventure.

Now try gatekeeper.

It's even easier to lead and aim, and works all the way to render range.

It's not even that much lower DPS at all, and since it's practically impossible to miss, even shitters will get more consistent DPS from mid and long ranges than even the best will get with halberd.

Only downside is that it's so easy that it's boring.

It is.

If TR are your enemies, you might notice while you're riding around in a ground vehicle that suddenly half of your health is gone and rapidly decreasing still, out of nowhere, with no hit markers or sounds.

That's a gatekeeper prowler or harasser plinking you from render range. So far away that the graphics and sounds don't properly register.

Unless you are already RIGHT next to cover, you are fucked.

Best thing is that Gatekeeper has so much DPS that it is literally a better close range weapon than Mjollnir.

Well a Fire suppresion Prowler wins a DPS race with maxed out AP Vanguard with Shield
>>
>>154496930
the vanguard shield should really be a ~50% resist shield instead of a NMG shield

not all "fuck your minefield i'm just gonna press W and F" powerful, but you can keep it up for the entirety of a tank-vs-tank engagement. just like a prowler can be deployed for the entirety of an engagement and a magrider can strafe around for the entirety of an engagement

Defending Biolabs in Planetside2 is the highest skill cap activity in any video game, all time. Except for maybe Q3A CPMA duels or Quake Live CPMA duels before they made it as casual as it is now. If you think it's boring, it's because you hit a skill wall and can't get to the upper tier where you are literally king of the server.
>>
>>154501614
Just because biolabs can't be spammed by vehicles doesn't mean that they are well designed.

Yeah it's better than a fight at any random open base where you end up being spawncamped by various cheesy HE vehicles, but that does not make it a good base either.

If you think the biolabs are "GOOD" and I insist on the word "GOOD" level design it just shows you have a Stockholm syndrome with PS2, which many of us have.

Let's rephrase since you seem to not be the sharpest tool in the box.

You have the average base, it's diarrhea
You have the biolab, it's semi solid shit that stinks.

Yes the semi solid shit is better than diarrhea, but it is still shit. If you think shit is good then you've just given up at this point.

Biolabs : vehicle terminals down there that are completely useless, unless you want to kill a sunderer but you don't want to do that or the low BRs that take the elevators will stop coming one by one on the pad to get shot one after another.

Then the pads themselves, that are shit.

The inside, with 2 dimensions, one for the regular people, and one for the people that know how to jump and get on the roofs (other than light assaults of course).

And then you have the dome in itself that is completely unused save for the guy that puts a beacon on the roof to boltshit the people on the pad.

Wasted potential : The game.

And that's coming from someone that enjoys bio lab farms, it's just that if you're honest you'll admit that they're not that good in terms of design.

Never ever. It's only good if you use it en masse, and NC think that "teamwork" is a synonym for "gay". Besides that it's pretty buggy and kind of fucking weak considering the refire time and the fact that it can be shot right out of the air; it doesn't even OHK chavs when it actually does hit them.

Rent it, if that's still a thing. Odds are good you'll be sick of it before the 30 minutes are up. It's fun to play with but just plain bad in actual use.

Should I invest in coyotes or A2A lockons to make skyknights cry more?

Coyotes at a glance seem to be more effective and a little more versatile, but something about the mechanics of lockons really brings out the salt in skyknights, even after the nerfs.

I did a trial for both of them today on my scythe, and the tears were absolutely delicious.

I have no interest or experience in playing air "legit", but just fucking around with those weapons on trial I had a hell of a good time just circling around friendly AA nest bases, and drawing in srs skyfagoots with locks, and finishing them off while tailing a pack of friendlies ESFs.

I've honestly never gotten so much fan mail, and I've auraxed all tank HE and c75 viper on every faction.
>>
>>154503638
>A2A lockons
were nerfed into oblivion so skyshits don't stink devs subreddit too much.
>>
>>154503638

Coyotes for "honorable" air dueling, tomcats for ganking chavs and fucking over Libtards from maximum range.

Basically if the enemy is targeting you and able to get close, you aren't going to get to use the tomcats very effectively, but that's the scenario where coyotes shine.

Nothing pisses a pilto off more like mindlessly shoving rockets up his ass while he's trying to dodge other airfags.
>>
>>154503007
I agree with basically all of what you said, but the biolab hate is unjustified. All bases are varying degrees of shit, but towers and biolabs are without a doubt the best.
Now, whining about shitty base design is ok, but whining about biolabs specifically is the mark of a shitter.
>>
>>154503007
>it just shows you have a Stockholm syndrome with PS2

well that is true ;___;
>>
>>154503952
>were nerfed into oblivion so skyshits don't stink devs subreddit too much.

Yeah but I tried them on trial after the nerf and they're still even better than coyotes at extracting tears.

All I have to do is render myself invincible by sticking near an auto-AA turret base with a skyshield, and I can pop out to follow friendlies who distract the skyknights, and pump a lockon or two at them, and they instantly cry every time.

I had one guy during an indar alert who popped me once as I was leaving the warpgate, sent me a smiley face, and then I finished him with lockons a few times while he was fighting other people, and the stream of tells and tears of salty rage did not stop until I logged out.

It was probably the most fun I've ever had in this game in all my time playing.

Just bathing in his tears as I keep doing the same thing to other people until my trial ran out.

>>154504094
Yeah, seems like the safest and most enjoyable option for a complete air newbie like myself is to just hide behind groups of my ally ESFs, and/or target enemy ESFs who are doing the ridiculous hover dance with someone else already.

In which case the tomcats seem to work better, since I can lock, pop, and immediately turn around and leave for cover without having to keep aiming anymore since the nerfs. And if I get a hit marker and not being chased, turn back around and repeat, staying within comfortable distance of my friendly auto-AA turret base.

I got a surprising number of kills during a mere 30 minute trial, but I think I actually caused more deaths from leading shitters and even an obvious pro or two into the AA nest.

Yeah, the guy that "only" hates bio labs is most likely a shitter because "wah wah my anchored HE/Gatekeeper can't spam the spawn while vaguely aiming".

I'm just disappointed by base design as a whole.

And even now some towers like Xroads, you can shut down any possible fights using the hills and le meme tank of balance so the defenders can't even get to the points.

It's clear that the devs intend to make every base like that, when you see their new bio lab, to give more things to do for vehicle shitters.

In the end the problem is the map in itself, bases are too close to each other, vehicles should be like in PS1, used to provide transport because walking to the other base is a pain in the ass and to win the vehicle battle against the guy you're attacking so you can safely park your AMS.

But the devs don't even play their own game, so fuck me.

I wonder if there's coffee on Auraxis. Fighting without a morning coffee must be horrible
>>
Bumb
>>
>>154549424
no. but all the original auraxis soldiers had coffee before their data was stored for cloning, so every time you die and are cloned, you're created having just drank a fresh cup.
>>
>>154549556
I don't think Planetmans are clones. I think rebirth technology is something more like transporters in Star trek.
When you die your counciness is transported through Warp and then nanomachines rebuild you in the spawn tube.
>>
>>154551431
of course they are clones
why do you think there are only two dozen unique soldiers on the battlefield?
>>
>>154551576
Small genetic pool. They are all cousins, aunts, uncles etc.
>>
we are all made from nanites, that's why there's no gore, that's why bodies disintegrate, that's what literally everything on auraxis runs upon.

The nanites created using the technology discovered hidden on auraxis which caused the creation of NS.

You're nanites.
Your gun is nanites.
Your bullets are nanites.
Your tank is nanites.
You are repaired by simply adding more nanites which is exactly the same way that everything else is repaired.

Ammo packs distribute fresh nanites to your weapon.
Health devices distribute fresh nanites to you.
Armor repairing distributes fresh nanites to your armor.

The pattern systems just tell the nanites what form to take.

This is an actual thing.
Remember the pattern lock devices.
Remember AT.

Remember.

The entire planet is a holographic simulation. Our programs are adaptive and we remember our previous battles. Eventually we will accumulate so much knowledge and memories that we'll cause a cascade failure of the entire program. The only fix is to reset everything and start again.

>YFW nanite theory is correct, the war for auraxis ended millenia ago (Everything is already mined, extracted, used up) and nobody turned off the pattern machines when the last corporation left, leaving three private armies of nanite "clones" with no goal

Not russian, but seriously - something's fucky with PS2 servers.
40-50 ping anywhere else = 100-200 ping in PS2
100-150 ping anywhere else = 1500-3000 ping in PS2
??? explain

I'm used to playing on ~100 ping but when 3000 arrives I can only watch in awe as I get hit markers on a target that's been dead for 15 seconds already.
Fuck.
>>
>>154551431
Yeah I mean when they first scanned your body. I'm using the term 'clone' loosely to mean any sort of duplicate. Obviously they don't have giant womb factories raising genetically identical clones from conception to their mid 30s.

Worth noting, your gunner can lock your weapons by using your tank to TK. But the weapon lock doesn't affect him.

So get a gatekeeper and go to fucking town.

it's doubly funny because a gatekeeper is basically a PPA++ that damages vehicles

I mean he *might* not have been hacking, there weren't any obvious tells, but damn. The odds are he was.
Neither mines nor fucking MAXes could stop him. If he wasn't hacking then that's one hell of a player.

>>154557734
more like an AV PPA++
"PPA++ that damages vehicles" would imply it has very hihg splash, and on top of that is good against vehicles
but it doesn't
it's an AV counterpart to the old PPA, but better

>>154555742
that's because in other games you play on a server that's the game considers to be good for you based on several criteria (latency, packet loss, etc). in PS2, you can play on whatever server you want, even if you get a shit connection to it, and you're not limited in any reasonable way.
the only real limitation is that you have to communicate with the server once every two minutes (at least it was that way a few months ago when i timed it). yep, that's right, you need a ping of 120000 ms to get kicked.
and of course, this would be that bad if the server was authoritative, but it is not. it trusts the client with basically everything. that's how you end up with teleporters (both low-tech lagswitch, and actual coded hax), instagibs (same), infinite ammo (same), and so on.
but this is not surprising in the slightest, when these are the same devs that do retarded shit like this >>154392805

>>154552052

>>
>>154558381
>it trusts the client with basically everything
BattlEye when?
It's not perfect, but if you're going to "trust the client" it's only reasonable to verify their "trustworthiness", at least a little bit.
>>
>>154558204
Mate, there's several kind of players
>bad: self explanatory
>bad but thinks he's good: the stereotypical "1.5 ivi kdr shitters". It's not just a meme, it's true.
>bad but wants people to think he's good: the stereotypical HA/boltshit only farmfit leddit circlejerk guy
>good: simply put, actual good players
You appear to have met a player from the fourth category. These are rare, there's maybe only a few dozen per server, but they do exist.
Of course, I'm not saying he wasn't hacking because I wasn't there to see what it was like, but from your description, there's only one thing out of the ordinary, "he pulled off a fucking starburst all-at-once shooting dance, getting 3 people all at different entrances in 2 seconds", which isn't even that unusual. As far as we know, most of those 30 kills could very well have been series of 1v1 engagements, and for any moderately skilled player, winning 30 in a row is easily doable.
What was his name?
>>
>>154558381
the PPA has 200@0,1m -> 1@4m
the gatekeeper has 75@0,6 -> 25@3m

add to that that the PPA has 300RPM vs the gatekeepers 160RPM

still an AV PPA++ compared to the mjollnir or enforcer with their 2m max falloff range with 1 damage

>New player joins game

>Plays HA
>Every time they activate shield it utterly obscures their vision
>He perseveres anyway and makes it to BR15

>Loses everything certed, gets no certs back, gets kicked off koltyr

And thus the game dies. It's got the worst new player introduction i've ever fucking seen, glitchy and broken from start to finish, seemingly designed to make them not want to play.

When are you going to fix the NC HA shield? If you're using an NC weapon, you can't see with it on. If you're using NS weapon, vision is normal.
>>
>>154559108
use the night vision or 4x scope
>>
>>154558891
Battleye is shit, take a look at other games that use it, they're full of cheaters.
And it won't help at all with the things I mentioned, only with detecting patterns from known hacks.

In case you're new and aren't aware of it yet, try this:
>hide behind a spawn shield
>pull out ethernet cable
>run out, shot mans, run back in
>reconnect ethernet cable

Now try doing the same in any decent FPS, or any kind of decent multiplayer game for that matter. Notice a difference?

Can't remember the name, it was pretty long and WeIrDlYstyLIZED, TR HA with (I think?) Rhino.
Now, I'm not the one to haccuse anyone unless I see some obvious tells (like aiming at the floor, half bullets sparking on the floor and the other half being headshots, intermittently) and I got nothing obvious on this guy.
So it's entirely possible he was indeed the fourth category, so even if I remembered the name I wouldn't wanna name and shame him, on the off-chance he isn't actually hacking.
He's getting the benefit of the doubt and I'm not quick to call cheats.

It's just demoralizing because hackers are rampart in the game, and if you see something like that you immediately consider "might he be cheating"?
And, well... He very well might.

So your allies redeploy somewhere else because they don't want to deal with a potential hacker, and you end up giving up a facility (an important one at that, 'twas a fucking biolab) to one guy.

>I wouldn't wanna name and shame him, on the off-chance he isn't actually hacking.
Fuck off, this isn't reddit. There is no name and shame here. You're anonymous. If you say some guy is cheating, and I see him in game, I won't immediately think he's a cheater, because your word holds absolutely no authority.
Anyway, I just wanted to see whether I knew him. Did you get killed by him? If so, please look at your killboard and tell me what the name was.
>and you end up giving up a facility (an important one at that, 'twas a fucking biolab) to one guy.
There is no such thing as an important facility. Territory is worthless.
>>
>>154559332
>try this
I feel fucking dirty when I get a 3k ping lagspike kill, and you're saying it goes up to 2 minutes?
Don't know whether to be angry at devs for allowing it to happen, or grateful that only so few people abuse it.
Probably both.
>>
>>154559937
It was two minutes last time I tested it.
Say, the next time you're playing and want to stop, just pull out your ethernet cable and time how much it takes for the "you have been disconnected from the server" message to pop up.

You are all lovely people.

I have fought alongside and against you all since the dawn of Planetside 1, we went through the bending together, we dodged meteors as we shot eachother. We blackops'd together.

We played PS2 together, we have attacked and defended the crown together and against one another.

Thank you for being great guys.
