Do we fit the requirements to have our decal submitted?

Also, here is the model viewer for you loyal Terran Republic propoganda artists.

jjh.fi/d/model-viewer/

Ask Gazonthor, Gasthevanutrannies is taking a bit of break because real life shit.

I think they'll want a more "high quality" decal
They can't appreciate art.

You know what I miss most from PS1? Aside from being able to loot enemy weapons, build your own class, and hack vehicles… The resource system. The current construction system is a good start, but still just a gimmick.

Bring back supply chains. In PS1, we had to keep bases supplied with Nanites so that turrets and doors could be repaired, and modules functioning. It allowed for actual siege strategies that focused on killing the enemy supply lines. That's what I want to see again the most.

They're planning on getting hacking for vehicles to be a thing, something about limited time only till the nanites of the vehicles explode or shit so its balanced.

And Faction-specific bullets and those small continents they promised for the KDRfags for 1v1 faction fights.

Also, Ion Cannons or something like that, still waiting for BRFs and Artillery to return, but F2P means slow development time.

I want doors. I hate being shelled sometimes.

Right, but none of that involves logistics. It's just, "Here's some limited hacking like you've been asking about for years. And I guess an orbital strike module to add to our too basic construction system."

And to salt the wounds "Oh, and have some small islands to make this combined arms game more CoD/CSgo - like. We know you don't like tactics or vehicles goy. This is all the rage, dontcha know?"

I really hope they don't do vehicle hacking, its just another gimmick that wastes valuable development time. We should have had resources finished literal years ago, but instead we've gotten useless max abilities, retarded looking NS guns, etc.
The only thing that should be being developed is finishing core systems of the game.
Infilshitters don't need more toys.

That's what frustrates me the most. So many sequels are the exact same game redone with better graphics, except when that's exactly what you want.

REMINDER THAT PS1 IS GOING TO GET SHUT DOWN IN JULY 1ST

We'll play it one last time for one week starting from the next friday (tomorrow) so don't forget to show up. The pops have been rising ever since the word about the game shutting down got out and ever since they finally got antihacks in, so we'll get fags to shoot at while squadded up.

And I won't even get started on the shitty flight physics. Holy shit, I just want an excuse to get a good a joystick and zip around in dogfights like the Red Baron. What's so bad about that?
But nope, this reverse maneuver seems to only exist to efficiently extract my salt. So, I stick to ground armor and take revenge on the airchavs every chance I get.

...

I honestly thought it had been shut down years ago. Stupid me. This will be quite a loss until DBG gathers their wits and implements some of PS1s awesomeness. So many good times from PS1. Wish I had stuck with that game better.

In other news, Darkfall looks like it might make a decent comeback with Darkfall: New Dawn, so I can at least find some hope in either that, or maybe Crowfall in the future…

Vid related, 3 years, still nothing to show for it.


Most of the studio's resources is on the H1Z1 DayZ-mmo clone, and they'll still not finished the game beyond TDM-KDR farming shit with the occasional locking of continents.

As long as you do AA it doesnt matter if you´re on the ground or in the air

nobody ever does AA and thats why Im farming for a skyguard

Ive returned from my break but i've also lost my glorious name to mods
I'm TrRename now since apparently whatever community manager they hired was too triggered by my name to wipe the layer of cheeto dust off her keyboard.

I've got 2xAA weapons for the max but they seem so ineffective solo

Oh, thought was some other guy, because you all sound the same to me :^)

How's the decal coming though?

I really need to get back into the game and grind my striker.

How dead is ps4 version?

Well the artfag made a nice wagon wheel and all but we need solid colors and solid lines rather than a rough sketch

Burning wagon wheel, busted, eight spokes.

The skyguard is okay, but it's mainly shit. It is good as a deterrent if all your max users aren't willing to throw on a pair of bursters, but at least when the air leaves, the Max can more easily change weapons out. (I could be wrong about that, I don't play Max.) I wouldn't mind an Engi turret that is more useful for AA. Maybe a Flak turret or something, obviously with very good vertical range. Could look like a small orb/ gyro with a gatekeeper looking gun coming out of the top. Boom. I just did the art department's job, too.

Unless they add a re-equip functionality to the towers that resupply ground armor ammo, the skyguard will remain fairly inconvenient.

Direct fire weapons are detterence first. They can be used for outright killan but they´re first and foremost there to scare the airchavs away.

Pair a lone MAX with a skyguard or another MAX and you´ve got yourself a murderparty

Is it free?
Where can you download it.

I will require the source of that for scientific reasons

Well, paging wwew-artfag, asking for the progression on wwew banner.

planetside.com/register

That was easy. I'm a PS1 vet, so I can show people around if they want.

I don't think bases needing power will ever return. You should have heard how loudly killwhores screamed back in beta when presented with the idea that they would need to do something other than killwhore if they wanted to keep their territory.


Battle Islands didn't work in PS1 and it says a lot that SOE wanted to try to force them again in PS2. Splintering the game's community along playstyle lines (Battle Islands for infantry, regular continents for vehicles) was a terrible idea.

I'd share it but I have family visiting me at the moment.

Artfag here. I can do it, but I probably won't be able to until saturday. I'll post something in a few days if nobody else picks it up.

Should clarify, I'm a different artfag. Whoops.

Looks like I'll jump in and see what's what.

Well I just bought the Reinforcements leadership cert.
Could I have some strategic advice from anyone?
I know a few things, enough to know that my current strategists are idiots, because we still lose despite outnumbering the Vanu and Burgers put together.

...

Well, post what your entry is gonna be, we need that decal and banner so they'll be forever triggered by memory of us.

Take lead from gunner "we still love you bby but lets wait another 4 years" nacho whenever possible, use the strategic overlay to map out routes and danger zones.

If you want things like "man turrents here" get done, write it on the map additionally to issuing voice orders.

Nah that SUIT guy seems alright, he takes the bantz and gives the bantz.

Its the tranushitters that are butthurt.

t. [SUIT] Ascent

nigga just give me the artist


you know if that was true it would mean that a turbotryhard creates 30% of all OC in these threads, which would be HILARIOUS whouldnt it

We're missing two continents, too. Oshur and Searhaus. Searhaus in particular is funny because there's a ton of assets done already. It doesn't get much more NEVER EVER EVER NEVER than SOE's former plans for this game.

the unused assets sitting in the files are like a graveyard of broken dreams

Thank fuck we ended up on John Smedley's wild ride instead. We could have had a good game.

The number of continents of Neverside 2 is just sad.

wiki.planetsidesyndicate.com/index.php?title=Auraxis

Why

Just a few warnings: the certs in this game are infinitely harder to grind and they impact the game way harder than PS2, but at least you can get up to BR8 or more by just following the tutorials and going to the VR to try all weapons, which should be enough to either cert into Air Cavalry, Medic+Engineer or Heavy Assault, which are the most important certs asides from Vehicular Support and Advanced Hacking.

Not saying I plan on sticking with the weapon, but are getting Slugs for the Barrage worth it?

Tranu not welcome.

the velocity is really low, its like the only time in this game where you'll have to lead with a gun. If you can deal with it though its basically a battlerifle and pretty neat.

what the fuck game are you playing?

first just get us to bases you think should be attacked/defended, watch the map as much as you can,use the voice chat to interact with the other leading guys but most of all dont take this shit to seriously. were just a bunch of guys playing for fun. its okay if you want to win
and its even better if you lead to win but dont get to tacticool. be firm and keep hangin onto a target.

t. gunner "dingdong banu the tranu" nacho. im not that good myself but i do my best.

the game where I use the right gun for the job mate, also not engaging in the low fun low kills plinking game of 150m+

To always molest the nearest flat chest.

Whats the NC and Vanu lore say?

Ascent is try hard shitter and he uses cross hair overlays to cheat.

RIGHTFUL TERRAN CLAY


I like it, it's staying.

"Using reliable crosshairs is cheating"

scout radar is da bes

NC says muh freedom and Vanu says muh artistic interpretation.
I still post the pics.

The game has vehicle mount and dismount animations, talk about a downgrade from PS1.
Funny how the drivers hatch is right in the front armor of the prowler, guess the TR does not breed cowards.

Gotta agree with gunner "if her age is on the clock it's time for cock" nacho here.

The most important thing is to know when to change targets and tactics, even if they end up being the wrong calls. Pull out if you notice a base is impossible to take because people will tire out and start leaving in droves if it takes too long. The only thing worse than losing a base is losing a bunch of people.

I love nacho memes.

Be friendy.
Use the map overlay to draw way points and highlight routes. Dont be afraid to repeat orders, just dont a dick. If your banging your head against a wall, its ok to redeploy. Sometimes getting everyone gathered back up is helpful.
Pull a sunder.
Galaxy drops are fun.

My hardest part riight now is decising of the tactics to use. Look at the map screen and figuring out how to break a seige is tough. Practice makes perfect.

You can be killed while getting and out of vehices. You don't just teleport in and out of vehicles, nor can you teleport between seats.

The funny thing is that SOE played stupid by saying it didn't know players would want vehicle mounting points in PS2. What they really meant was, we're making the game as much like Battlefield as possible, and any resemblance to Planetside is coincidental.

Why even live?

DON'T FORGET

From up close you might take down an airfag such as me before i can react, but if you want to take down aircraft you need friendos otherwise all you do to a pilot is force them to reposition and maybe save a friendly or 2 assuming their faction doesn't finish your guys off.

Time?

We should actually join that shit as soon as possible because most of you fags haven't even played the first, i'm sure you don't want to be learning the game when everybody is having their last bits of fun

Yeah that why Im always saying its a numbers game

Yes

Well, unfortunately I'm on Briggs. So I can't help you guys. Sorry.

In this position, I believe we could take both biolabs with relative ease, and then zerg all the way to northwest warp gate and win instantly. Only problem is, they keep attacking burgers, when they don't need to at all.

How do I contact the other strategists and ask them what they're doing?
I don't have the command channel cert, do I need that?
But I'll take your advice.

And I'm thankful for your advice, I will take it into consideration.
Sage for doublepost.

But the cert you nigger.

You double nigger.

Are you good goys with premium looking forward to capitalizing on your upcoming double xp weekend?

Already brought in the Sunderer, biolab was rather empty, decided to go infiltrator as it had the best chance of capturing, could also hack shit to make things more difficult.
What's the problem?

I mainly bring in Sunderers/hunt for enemy sunderers with my mosquito.
I'm shit at g2g combat, unless in a vehicle, so I mainly do support roles, and a2a combat.

So I bought the command channel cert, as it turns out, I was the only one. I suppose it'll pay off in the future.
Can other people see the stuff I write in the "leader" channel, besides others with the cert?

Yes, orders chat is sent to the whole faction, maybe continent locked. Command voice chat is sent only to squad/platoon leads with the cert.

...

Because it took the company being bought out by russians and having smedley subsequently fuck up before he finally got fired.


Similar deal with a bunch of other planetside 2 devs; if they weren't outright fired, they were suddenly leaving for other developers "of their own volition". Whoever's running the company right now is frankly more competent than any leadership/management team at SOE, and that's evidenced by the fact they're actually adding content to the game finally.

That tells me: There's no longer any gridlock in the team where people with conflicting ideas keep butting heads. (e.g. higby wanted to turn the game into an esports arena shooter) and there's no longer any idiot management who keeps changing what the team's going to do every other week.

I don't personally think construction's really the correct approach for the game, but it's an approach - it's better than what they've been doing for the past 3 years.

This reminds me, i swear there was a graphics quality setting called ultra at some point. what happened?

A shitload of construction content was from the SOE era though, just unimplemented. I'm dubious about much new shit going in at this point that's actually new and not just relics dug out to try to salvage the game.

Anti-cheat is nice to see, more than construction. It's one thing that Matthew 'The Conglomerate Jew' Higby wanted to make the game e-sports MLG as fuck, but he wanted to do it with no anti-cheat to boot.

Very accurate statements about Smedley by the way, he really was/is a social media whore.

At least they're trying to put the assets that they already have to use. We might get mechs or those unfinished continents some day. Under the old management the wouldn't have been a chance.

I had no problem with Higby making the game competitive, if I had any say in that I'd make the weapons heavily more accurate, but that would scare away the scrubs

Funny is if you go into any Planetside 2 stream on twitch etc and talk about "Faction Devs" just like here you see all the holdout diehards foam at the mouth angry how fucking bad that fucked the game up

Remember, VS Dev's outnumbered TR devs 4:1 and NC devs 10:1

Hello, MLG cancer.

when ps2 released the majority of devs were "TR" including most of the weapons designers. After release a lot of those devs got let go and the composition has changed a ton for certain. But the only time we've seen the exact numbers was at release (there was a picture floating around back in the day that had all of the devs factions labeled but I can't find it)

So vanu now have zero recoil instead of very insignificant recoil?

I accidentally forgot to cancel my sub after getting pissed for the forced name change so yes, I guess.

maybe you're the one who needs gassing

All those TR devs like you said were let go just before launch IE they were the grunt work coders let go so Higby could have a bigger house

At launch VS had majority pop, by 3 months in VS had massive majority pop for devs

What's funny is WoW did that with devs either being alliance or horde and it fucked the game up immensely because of the whole druid vs paladins thing

Seeing that as a bad idea, they just gave both factions the same toys and players were happy for a long time;

So when are we going to shit up planetside 1? i might have to skip a day of sleep but after years of tiny sleep times it can be very hard

i want reddit to go away

Friday

well its not like vanu received massive buffs after launch, the majority of VS weapons have strictly inferior stats now than what the "TR" devs designed them with. Notable exceptions are the serpent, and max weapons to some extent.
Really its just TR got a big haircut, mostly because TR were dominating most servers because of how good the prowler was.

Orion
Magrider launch
PPA
ZOE Max

Yeah, TR needed the haircut….

none of those were issues in the time period we're talking about, for one the ZOE max did not exist, the ppa was not used, the Orion was beaten decisively by the CARV (it may be hard to believe but they had the same accuracy at one point and the CARV was actually better at long range than the Orion because vanu bullets did less damage past 30m than TR)and the prowler outkilled the magrider by massive amounts (and if you'll recall the magrider was massively nerfed within weeks of launch so hard you literally couldn't drive up the road to the crown because they cut traction so much)

Fucking good goy point gift giving when

They would make too much money from it

in other news

kek I usually dont live past 0:02

What the fuck is with completely shit pricing on totally negligible upgrades

Prowlers are really nice, I was in one earlier that had a gatekeeper, I didn't know it was a rocket launcher. I'll have to gun for them more often.

why dont we invite ourselves? i mean we are making auraxis great again, why not crash the server smash?


its a pay2notgrind user what did you expect

With no survivors. It might be a decent idea. We'll cuck the filthy tranu every day and in their shitty MLG events.

There's no guarantee you'll get to play TR

Then what's the point? I haven't looked into it yet.

its basically a match on the public test server, big chains of command and stuff. Your server picks a faction and all the outfits of your server play on the same side. I played a few back when they were getting started, they can be fun as hell or a total shitshow, preferably both.

So the best scenario is that the leddit cucks pick TR and just send us to capture the Crown. I very much doubt we'll take orders from them so if we do end up joining it'll be fucking interesting. I very much doubt we will since they'll most likely play Tranu and order us like some fucking meatshield.

No.

do they look in charge?

So if we do happen to pick TR, interested in trying it out?

I seriously hope none of you are actually considering taking part in something like that. if you are, please kill yourself you colossal faggot.

nah

Your call. Let us know if you're interested. If you're having fun on Live though keep at it.

Nah. It would be a shit show. Just entertaining the idea. Plus we have more important shit to do like salt mining the sub-leddit for our mere existence and taking the crown.

Purely hypothetical question:
If Enclave does come back (looks like they will) and the TR population balloons, do we surf the constant zerg, or move to NC for more fights?

Personally, I don't really think the pops will become that unbalanced, but everyone is in a hyped tizzy over Enclave, so I'd like to at least have a Plan B ready.

I'm a Holla Forumsfag PS1+PS2 Vet will be joining back after a long hiatus. Any tips?

fuck off.

Enclave isn't even on emerald, are they? The pic earlier in the thread showed matherson.

I thought Matherson was an old/erased server. They are most likely to head to Memerald. Not saying they will, but it's the most likely destination.

As a MLG PRO server smasher I'm going to decline. WWEW doesn't have the experience or coordination to not look like idiots and its really hard to farm salt in a server smash.

Matherson accounts were shifted to emerald.

Well, you're a vet, so you should already know:

Daily reminder that wisdomcube is a VS sympathizing traitor and should be shot on sight

I bought a weapon early on before taking smart advice, but it's the only one and I don't entirely regret it I guess? 12x on the M77 and i've plinked plenty of heads from long range.

I really wish I had bought the TSAR like someone had told me after the fact.

Honestly, the M77 is a decent, cheap sniper rifle. God knows you won't be killing shit with the default. You'll be fine. You'll want the… I think it's the TSAR at some point. And maybe the RAMS at some point if you're really into sniping from afar.

And that's what hurts the most, because I actually looked between the M77 and RAMS and thought to myself, "Why would I pay almost 700 credits more for something that only does 50 more max damage", not taking into account muzzle velocity. I often spook off targets trying to rangefind past 200 meters.

Take the rangefinder implant and practice shots in VR?

I really need to take my ass to VR for a lot of things. Including learning how to fly a Valk/Liberator

Are there any other rifles like the TR default where they basically give you a nice scout rifle that is crippled by high magnification scopes?

NC here,

Just wanted to say I had a fun time setting aside our mutual hate for each other to beat the shit out of the Tranu when they got in the way of us killing each other over the Crown.

See you on the other side of my crosshairs, Imperialist bros.

I'd love to get my gadsnek on with you guys
but the 14/88 and purging must go on..

Do silencers make a big difference in this game? I was thinking of putting one on the Trac-5 since it performs pretty badly outside of close range anyway.

...

They make you not show on the minimap when shooting and that is indispensable if you're the type that ends up a ton behind enemy lines.

Tryhards beeline towards random red dots popping up on their radar, especially if they're behind the lines and thus an easy kill.

Suppressors a good idea on light assaults. Infils aren't as big a deal because you can just cloak immediately after killing someone.

GREAT LANDING, ACE

I'm from mattherson. it fused with waterson for emerald because the pops were too low on both

Fuck off

...

So I tried the slugs out, and I mowed down like four guys that rushed me over a steep cliff with careful aim, I think I like slugs now

slapped on a laser sight for extra hipfire shittery

Slugs are the greatest thing in any game.

Did they buff the slugs into usefulness?

The last major patch decreased their drop gravity from 10.5 to 8.

None of the guns should even have different gravity characteristics.

If they want a gun to have less drop, they ought to just give it a higher velocity.

But for whatever reason they're deadset against anything in this game having a high velocity. The only reason I can think of is that it's a performance issue, but I don't understand how it could be.

Might complicate hit detection somehow?

I'm a bit concerned about this.

You should always be concerned about NC and Tranu.

You can kills ESF's/valks easily with maxes.

Give the slugs too much velocity and we might have a new Bad Company effect.

where's the red

Shit was weird.

Does good piloting make a vanilla solo fighter aircraft viable? I really want to know if I'm just that shit when I can't even shoot back at dogfights against scythes when I'm a no pay player.

Pretty much mandatory to have fire suppression maxed

the default gun is okay, but fire suppression is basically an extra +25% hitpoints, and if the fight lasts long enough it could be more than that.

Even if it was a stalemate, It was bloody fun holding out in Quartz Ridge Camp on Indar. A repair sundy in that mess = lods.

If only the trannu didn't fucking ruin it by taking the continent.

Well I mean I can't even menuvior to where I see the target that's firing on me. The typical situation is that I see Gal/Lib and start firing- some random scythe comes around and starts firing at my ass- hit the boost to get away from initial target, only to try to turn around indefinitely- still getting shot from behind at all times.
It's like the fucker is always behind me.

Glorious NC tea and democracy has separated from horrible oppressive TR fascists headed by the Vanu (Germany).
Democracy is saved!

You have to learn how to do the reverse manuever

Double xp weekend, you better subscribe goys. Also, some bullshit.

...

Wait where?

members only, goy

I like this game this much I wonder if I should just go pay for membership. How much is it per month again?

Too much for what you get

Also if you subscribe you get higher nanite gain, so you can toss grenades, tank mines, and pull vehicles to your hearts content without worrying about costs.

O-oh, I thought it was gonna be something cheap.

tell me the specs of the prowler
also, how the fuck did you die?


about $15 a month


i still think the higher nanite gain is kindoff gamebreaking.

It's outright pay2win, but a lot of planetside 2 players are in denial over it.

Touching tank debris with your tank usually kills your tank.

Magrider drivers often try to drive up to or on top of you before they die so the wreckage kills you when they die.

One of these days we should do a harasser spam while the bards play this

The wreckage flew into us at high speed.
I use rival chassis and side armor alongside the obvious stuff like anchor/ap/vulcan on my prowler I don't pull it very often

"nc/vanu is bad am i rite?"
"omg i agree upvoted"

this is you

...

Count yourself lucky.

b-b-but user its all about 1v1 skill in this game

heh, they dont usually get that close to me. i use the same setup, i got lockdown fully certed and so is the reload speed on my AP cannon. gets me shitloads of certs

There's a reason why you're a gigantic faggot, this is one of them.

...

I played Daytona and Initial D, just I was on a ATV since I suck at driving a Harasser.
Then again I'm still torn apart between my main on NC and playing with WWEW since my playtime never matches with WWEW's

Yesterday I played from 12pm until 6 am, then I went to sleep until 7pm.
I'm losing control, Holla Forums.

Get to my level, 20 hours in a single day in the weekends.

Trying to get out early, but alerts keep fucking coming up.

Which defense thing do I put on my lightning?

the self-heal thingy.

stealth

proximity radar is good, makes you alert for tanks and c4 fairies.

It's not worth the certs in my opinion.

Youll eventually burn out. I took a month long break but I still have my old habits. Game is fun with an outfit full of autists.

Read what they all do and figure out what fits how you play.

Pull literally any other vehicle instead

getting a lot of conflicting advice and a lot of hot dubs

Abuse heal sluts

In how many hours are we goys going to hop onto planetside 1?

You traitorous faggots get back to /ps2g/, our thread is dying and you are wasting your time with reverse SJW shitters here

I'm amazed at how many of bootlegas users have like 80% of their time played as heavy assault and well over 30-50k kills with that weapon.

How the fuck do they not get bored?

i'll try to be on in 4 hours and play a few hours but unfortunatly i already made plans for tonight.

You are battlebard?

get some Finntroll

The reason you see a 90% HA population in 24-48 fights is because all of the "farm"-fits redeploy there to boost their ego. And there are like 2-3 decent sized ones.

...

Exclusively the weeb bard.
I bring catgirls and lolis.

Do you play ASMR?

I'm curious how often you get TKd.

VS has no fucking recoil apparently so there's literally no reason to not use that gun that has shit tons of ammo in the mag and deals tons of damage.
It's fucking stupid, oh and don't forget those retarded fast reload times because

It has more horizontal recoil than the Butcher

Only barded like 3 times. I never am able to get on at prime time because I work graveyard shift at work.

Was temped, but in-game you can hardly hear the music and ASMR only works if it's quiet and you turn up the volume high and listen closely.

Can literally reload while using medkits and pistols.

Go back to cuckchan

I remember some battlebard played ASMR and it sounded pretty well. The ear licking ones are effective

I'll have to play some of those then.
Gonna try to be on tonight at 9, hopefully I don't nod off and sleep though it.

The lightning is the worst vehicle in the game. It's worse than a fucking flash. The only time you should use a lightning is providing niche services in squads/platoons - like skyguard for an armor column (and often a repair/ammo sundy with 2x walkers is a better choice), or massed groups of cheap anti-armor that'll last all of 5 minutes.

Lightnings are free kills for:
Liberators
ESF's
Harassers
MBT's
C4 Fairies
AV Maxes
Other Lightnings
Battle Sunderers
Valkyries

If you're going to cert a vehicle, pretty much anything else is a better choice.

make me you mad shiTR

muh niggers

TR butts are better than Tranu butts. Liking traps makes you gay.

Endless despair, I should've seen it coming.

Not when there's a skirt involved.

I don't see how it'd be any effective

ASMR relies on surround sound to make it seem like what you hear is happening to you.

Loses that effectiveness if it sounds like it's coming from 'over there'.

Some it doesn't matter since it's just the sounds themselves that are lewd. The earlicking ones and literal ESRM work. The earcleaning ones won't work or binaural sounds either.

Here is an idea, the battlebard ramps up the volume on their mic and then loud as fuck ear licking will come closer and closer until it covers all other volume.

I guess it's only me then, I feel it but it's up to personal experience on the battlefield of others. It does sound weird when it's far away but when i'm next to the battlebard I feel it.

How does one get kills with a lightning?
I'm trying to do the basic training directives, but I just get my arse handed to me whenever I pull a lightning.

Also, what outfit should I join on Briggs?

You can do all that in VR training, same with the final ESF part.

I had 254 long killstreak with a lightning once

Use the AP cannon

You can complete most directives in the VR room though

Spam shots at infinity. If you have enough credits mow down air with the skyguard.
Fuck VS's air dominance up the ass.

Don't wase a cannon for the lightning, just get one for the heavy tank.

You farm infantry.

I was playing it but I decided to go full moral support instead. With sometimes playing Initial D for Harrassers and Scotland Forever for pure autism.

Oh look, the shitterposting cancer finally decided to migrate now that he killed off the 4chan thread.

You want to know why people don't post in the 4chan threads anymore?

People like you are why.

Play it on big battles and make our team feel uncomfortable plus the reactions also i'll play tomorrow and hopefully my lag won't fuck my shit up it's 4 AM here and I need sleep

It's Gasthekeks, still salty people doesn't like him for being a cuck.

aim better :^)

I'll play it again tomorrow. Just try keep me away from a harrasser so I don't end up drifting again across several New CheeseBurgers Infilshitters.

Wait, can you complete the get 3 kills with an ESF directive in VR? I am so abhorrently shit at flying in any game with aircraft, and training doesn't help me at all. I either ram into world geometry, or get shot out of the sky before I can even align my crosshair with anything.

Also, unrelated, could I reapply to WWEW? I accidentally left the outfit after I got accepted on Tuesday (I didn't know what the fuck I was doing), tried applying again and got rejected.

Yes you can, it's the best way to get that directive because flying for real is a huge pain in the dick.

Fantastic, I'll do that right away when I come home from work.

Airchavs LIVE in this game, solo ESF is generally inadvisable unless you´ve got the reverse maneuver down.

When you have at least a wingman, fire away. 1v1 ALWAYS devolves into who can pull of the reverse maneuver faster.

Complete everything in VR, fuck doing that shit with players.
Also you just need to put memes in the application or something, shouldn't be a big deal- mention h8chan.

Yeah, I know about the memes, but I thought maybe the outfit leader got peeved at me leaving the outfit (even by accident).

What's the reverse maneuver?

...

People come and go, we have a ton of people just sitting inactive as well- last I heard.

Stop your vehicle and put it in reverse.

...

Ancient tranu magic

you maneuver your aircraft in such a way as to turn 180 degree without losing previous velocity vector

you´re basically going full speed backwards when you do it right

Add everyone from the faction.

Wait that's not a special ability exclusive to the tranu? Can all planes really do that shit?

its a physics glitch turned legitimate game mechanic
every aircraft can do that

Well fuck no wonder I always get shot down. I don't have the information to this, I'll go figure this shit out when I get home.

It's this planetside 2's aircraft version of "it's not a bug, it's a feature". Basically you abuse a glitch in the game's physics to fly backwards faster than you can even go forward

while looking down
while looking up

Lol now I remember why I left. Spawn>Killed>Spawn>Killed>Spawn>FinallyKillSomeone>Killed.

It's fun for large battles tho, really fun.>>9820806

well having decent aim is on a whole more important than doing the reverse maneuver. it's only really useful if you're surprised from behind or the sides by someone worse than you. at least for A2A

Its mandatory for anything boyo.

Mandatory for A2A, mandatory for A2G.

Part three is the reverse maneuver.
I'd recommend watching all of them, however.

the reverse maneuver? I've got about 50 hours in an ESF and I wouldn't say so. it's been useful every now and then sure, but it certainly isn't mandatory for everything.
I've never done A2G other than plinking tanks and infantry with a needler though so can't really say too much about that

It's very hard to stroke your K/D ego in this game unless you roll with a decent squad/platoon.

This is some useful shit.

And I still wonder why the fuck leddit cares so much over stats.

I never said I care, I said it's hard to care.

Alright goys since the lightning is trash how do I kit out a vanguard?

Hits it ass before it can respond with that shield shit.

Either C4-fairy with 2 explosives, and hit it all at once, go Prowler/Lightning with AP cannons, or mass tank mines.

Or go anti-vehicle Liberator/Mosquito, whatever works.

Lightning isn't trash, it's just that MBT's are better. When you need armor AP lightnings are pretty good. You won't always be able to spawn an MBT after all.

"kit out" means "equip with"

...

...

Anyone know how to fix the game crashing during loading screen every time starting up the game? Previously the game worked perfectly fine

On rare ocassions shotting a vanu gave me a FF warning

Wait, you're a burger? misread "kit" to "kill" then.

Ask NCbro about that then.

I'm a strong independent Englander and I can't stand the ping playing with you americucks. So I'm playing NC on the euro server instead.
I was with Auraxian Axis back when the game first came out though, anyone remember them?

Or a heavy. i still have no idea why a class based shooter has a class that is objectively better at shooting than all of the rest by a large margin. I understand if medics had a gimmick (or lacked one) which made them weaker combined with the infiltrator's lower armor but it just doesn't make any sense

You're a target now buddy, welcome to hell

...

AP cannon, shield, side armor, halberd.
Also the old leader for Axis is the outfit I think.

Because that's the only point of the class? Medic heals, Engineer repairs and supplies, infilshit motion darts, LA fucks off, Heavy fights. Medic is a weaker HA with support abilities, engineer is a weaker LA with support abilities.

Go back to britain faggot
titan 150 ap

That might've worked in team fortress, in planetside 2 it should just be the only infantry with a real chance when facing a tank/aircraft besides hoping the driver or pilot are retarded and c4ing them.
If everyone goes heavy assault that side has an advantage because besides repairing a sunderer if you're attacking everything else is useless for infantryside and the person is just sacrificing being able to fight for a gimmick.
In contrast, within a game with actually thought out classes such as tf2 everything is essential.

It doesn't even have to be fast, debris is the strongest weapon in the game.

Unless you use your brain and make clever use of combined arms. Take out their sunderer since they can't repair it, anti-infantry libs fire into the masses, they don't have medics to revive them and keep the assault going. You'll say that HA rockets will deter that, but only if the armor and libs operate in the most obvious fashion. Basically, git gud.

Man you would have loved this during the alpha then

just downloading planetside 1 now. how are we all going to meet up?

go back to your dead thread cuck

as long as you manage to get your tank stationary before it explodes 4/5 times you'll be okay. just don't try to ove with debris on top of you

This, I cert into support aircraft and can galaxy drop you guys if needed.

I'm from Croatia-stan and even I can fucking play with the rest of the guy on US severs, despite the ping.

The server latency is so high that there's barely a difference between playing eastern USA or EU from west Canada

So when are we going to play PS1 tonight?

hnnnnnnng

What is this "reverse SJW" meme I keep hearing cuckchanners talk about? Some sort of way to insult alt righters or something? How fucking dumb..
Seriously, it sounds so wierd hearing this from them.


You don't know how to play with lightnings then, they're flat compact cannons that you're supposed to play peekaboo and blast armor and snipe infantry with. Using them like an actual tank will indeed give you the problems listed. AP is a must, HE and skyguards are niche items that only really should be used in a zerg.

Lassica-senpai teach me your ways.

...

...

...

Gotta love those objective certs.

my guess is air fag

Nope, just a cliff dwelling infiltrator faggot.
Easy to get kills when all you do is press f, hold shift and click on heads

infiltrators were a mistake.
motion spotter could have just as easily been a LA tool, cloaking in such a high latency environment was a bad idea.

Infiltrators weren't a mistake. Making them just another killwhore class, that's the mistake. All the disruptive activities you could get up to with saboteur-related certs in PS1 are missing from PS2

If you can find someone who's good with the Halberd, hold on to them and never let go

Today I scored. Doesn't change that the marauder is still a bad purchase because it doesnt do dick against heavy armor.
Stop shooting at sunderers and tanks with it.

i didn't even use my engineer turret i just repaired maxes and camped corners scoped in and head height

nice membership faggot

This

in ps1 you had a couple of infiltrators here and there and they were mostly just used to get doors open or plant a virus

All of them thought getting in close and trying to strafe behind was a good idea while I unload my full semen clipazine into them and they die


Feels good being able to overcome the odds and destroy faggot trannies with op shit, the time of the comfy gunner has cum and so have I

teach me your ways anonymous-kun

And the really, really good ones could drop a gen without anyone knowing they were there, even during a red alert with a hundred enemies running around

Get a membership user!

Infiltrator is fucking shit and doesn't contribute to anything

Planetside 2 general probably the most active general in Holla Forums

The grind is real.

...

Which one is the best? I tried them in VR and I couldn't find one I liked.

...

I've only used the T1, T1-B and the TAR, now using the NS11, I'd say the T1/T1B is very good, it's easy to get used to and handles like the other TR weapons. TAR is an inferior TRV which is about equal to the TORQ-9. In general I think this works
All ranges
Close range
All ranges if good, medium long else

If you didn't like the T1, don't try any of the T1 variants and maybe avoid the TRV as well, they all handle basically the same and I never want to touch a cycler again for as long as I play.

This page is really fun to browse.
ps2.fisu.pw/hackers/

T1B is the best by far

I'm certed into engineering and adv medical, i can support base raids and veh combat.

Just get in TR, if you can shoot well rush Heavy Assault(4 certs) or Unimax (6 certs) for all MAXes. If you can drive then either Light Scout(5 certs) for harrasers, IFVs and the Mosquito; Ground Support+Transport (4 certs) for battle vans or Armored Assault 1 and then 2 (3 certs total) for MBT support.

Not sure if we're gonna make an outfit to organize this, should we just make a squad/platoon and add whoever says they're from the thread?

It's a shame the galaxy doesn't hold more men in it. I feel like it's large enough for 2 squads.


I'm going by the same handle in Planetside 2, BlankChew

What did I do wrong

Right-click on launchpad.exe and select compatibility mode for xp.
Worked for me.

It worked thanks

vanguard shield and ap cannon

You can also run the luncher as administrator
