Planetside 2 Thread: Planetside 1 is dead, long live Neverside 1!

C'mon, man.

If you'd been in the server, you'd know that most NC were using rocklet suppresors which is a hacked weapon and they were teleporting across the entire facility to stop us from hacking their CC while we were assaulting their last techplant.

At least VS weren't that much of deal, they were just juggling around with threshers and having a good time, first time i've seen VS in PS1 not blatantly cheating.

Who won the war for Auraxis at the end of Planetside 1? Hopefully you made sure the Brass was impressed at the bitter end.

The last war was at Ishundar starting from yesterday night after everyone left the warpgate from Amerish and it ended with TR capturing 9 Facilities, NC staying only in 1 Tech plant at the northmost side of the continent called Girru and VS having the other 2 facilities left on the planet namely Lahar and Irkalla. The continent beforehand was entirely in the hands of VS with NC having 2~3 odd facilities to the northern side.

Needless to say, we beat the fuck out of them at equal pops for most of the event.

Latest news: local TR man into space, brass is impressed

...

O-ok.

i had that happen last night

I maxed out Flak Armor for the MAX. I figure I should max out Charge before Lockdown, or just ignore Lockdown. What about the other MAX suit slot items? I don't think I'd ever use a MAX outside of outfit activities so I can save cert points by ignoring auto-repair. Kinetic Armor probably isn't very useful considering how expensive it is to upgrade.

Kinetic armour doubles your health versus boolet.

Computer just reset my foobar and launchy configs, holy shit.

Get one rank of Auto-repair, then you can just ignore Kinetic. Its situational at best and every single faggot has C4 without fail. Lockdown is pretty situational too, I only really use it with bursters.

Fuck, i've certed into the wrong thing. i've done the math and if it does at least the 35% it says is the minimum that's already much much better than a skyguard

you're pretty set

Skyguards are trash now mate. Extended mag lockdown burster MAXs and lockons to seal the deal are the only consistent way to deal with the chavs.
And no, AP Prowlers don't count, no matter how satisfying it is.

I'll max out Kinetic Armor later. Right now I'll focus on Charge and Lockdown.

The only correct way to deal with airchavs is with your sidearm.
Any old miller player should recognize this name.

its fun but it doesn't do shit, but it is fun watching the tranu freak out

...

Air-bailers don't count. The fact that that's still a thing is telling of the playerbase of PS2 compared to PS.

Remember when they removed vehicle deconstruction entirely to keep butthurt airchav from denying XP to people who managed to take them down?

Go back to reddit.

That shit happened with fucking fagriders too. At the slightest hint the tank was gonna go up in flame, they rounded a corner and poof the tank was magically gone along with the 100 EXP.

I keep saying we should have a slot in permanent Bases to put in an AI Module…

PS1 base turrets were AV & AA autoturrets when unoccupied. And they could be upgraded by Engineers to be more powerful.

...

Have any of you used the TR directive battle rifle or shotgun?

I'm really considering buying some scout rifles and going for that directive weapon since you only need to aurax 4 weapons.

I actually put the lowest magnification zoom on the Vulcan on my Harasser and Prowler to try to curb shit like that

The WWEW Whale Pod was truly halal.

Time for work, was fun fighting at Tawrich.
See you on the battlefield.

Add me as Witnit, I'm always willing to gun a Vulcan Harasser.

I know, but I never got Advanced Engineering…

I was piloting the second one from the front, and was the one that Lassica 'killed' in that WEBM.

I got 4 kills when I smashed that Sundie, so take that as you will.

...

shigglies here summoning lassica to meme with me in game

goddamnit

At least some of them react like normal people

I can be Lassica if you want me too, big guy. ;)

o-oh?

Someone accept FascistBro application

just wanna play

I'm rendering a video fam

30 minutes left

I'll accept your application if you answer this question:
Which came first? Ranch, or Cool Ranch?

fuuuddd

Smh tbh.

reminder that tranu have smoke disabled in their ini file so using it only hurts yourself

the PS4 version is much more frustrating and anyone has a chance of killing you

I'm on shitposting levels you can't even comprehend

you are like a little baby to me.

watch this

have a tactical superior TR version fam

Kill yourself Dilbert.

*>(1)*

Shiny, thanks. You should thank me though for giving you a source of inspiration, all me

Anyway, pro tip. don't place tankmines under your teammates, especially when fighting vanu. lasher balls blow them up.

...

(((new players)))

I tell the fucktards to always not do it, but they still do

Then again I'm dealing with NC so you know what I'm working with here

i'm not sorry for forgetting there was supposed to be 2 asterisks
why do people put tank mines near doorways if they know it's just gonna get blown up in the struggle?

That's how you recognize a great tragedy, despite knowing the outcome it hurts everytime.

480p because I don't record higher

tell me about the lassica, why does he join the game then leave after 10 minutes

also requesting oc memes plz

...

They put them down because it'll fuck up a MAX, but it's very rare that it'll actually kill one.
t. someone who does it when a huge majority of TR gets pushed out of a building

Yeah, if anything, it will end up killing their engineer buttbuddy instead.

I'm always a little more smug than I should be when it kills both a MAX and the repair slut trying to get certs, but a lot of the time it's just easier to put the mines in front of a vehicle bay and wait for the 500 xp from a vehicle kill to roll in. I'm really glad more people don't do it, because it's shitty to do.

Wait do tank mines get triggered by MAXs? Are they considered vehicles or something?

Personally, I love sneaking behind a tank on a hill and having it roll over the mines when it inevitably backs up to repair. Or just tossing them directly onto the tank.

Yeah, they technically are.

Then either the bus blows up, or I drive off and kick both fuckers out and shoot them myself

Pubbies smell easy certs and they absolutely shit out their brains and get the worst tunnel vision which always ends up costing you fights

Whats hilarious is when you do get backup you can turn even an undersized platoon into a wrecking machine

They changed max from infantry to vehicles because rather than doing any effort in coding by making max's visible to other vehicles at range and keeping them infantry they just switched them to vehicles so other vehicles can see them at farther range

Added bonus is now tank mines fuck up max's which makes engineers often more dangerous to max's than C4 fairies

I don't get it, but hey, free certs.

Throwing them on top of a tank, dying because you get fucked and then it moving slightly and it dying always great. Even better is when you throw a few under a deployed sundie and then throwing a grenade and killing it because nobody is around.

Debatable since it's bipedal and also can be considered power armor.

Dev are lazy, so nothing new then.
At least they have to be even more worried about exsplovives. Was wondering why I keep seeing tankmines in bases recently.

Hell yeah, fuck Vanu MAX rushes

Proxy chat, tell him to shoot vehicles.

They never listen

Ever

Tell me about the gunner seat, why is it filled with lies?

You probably killed an infantry but the sundie still there and survive the attack it probably explode on the 4th galaxy crash

Reported height 952m (1100m above sea level)

that already happened a long time ago tough
youtube.com/watch?v=MU7I55YgPJ8

Y'know what would be great? If those nifty scout rifles were available on a class other than the shitty fucking infiltrator.

How many seconds until the Tank mine arms itself, since it obviously doesnt explode immedistely when you put it near a tank?

Did the tank move over it?

Usually no, since I just put them on top of the tank/lightning

the mine is armed the second it lands, the target has to be moving for it to trigger

It has to go over it once it's on the ground.

I'm going to invest in those dumb-fired rockets for the mosquito.
Y/N?
pic unrelated

I don't fucking get why reddit is so obsessed with us.

Other than the fact that the posts get easy upboats because "Those evil 8ch misogynists, shitters can't have 46K/D, I'll show them with my infiltrator".

Because we are the enemy, and getting organized against the accepted enemy is the easiest (and naturally the most fun).

This was with an aircraft (Valkyrie).
Seems you can go higher is someone is riding on top of you.
In the end poor TerrnBrrrrtpublic was crushed by the celing, but I got real fucking high. Essentially ininterceptable.

What weapons you use on your max?

this is NCbro using Gorgons.

It's just a circlejerk. You have a big group of KDR fags that literally only play heavy assault with a very specific loadout or maybe infiltrator.

They just signal to eachother how they went on a killstreak against a bunch of new/bad players and upvote eachother and do some toe sucking then start the process over again.

It's more heavily emphasized because 8ch is a boogyman and cucks over on leddit will get triggered easily by racism etc.

Though I agree that it is a little weird how obsessed they are, same with cuckchanners. But these are the same people that will literally play this game for hundreds of hours only as heavy assault with one particular gun, very bizarre.

Because we don't go for high K/D and are having fun rather than trying to look cool.

If you are talking about rocket pods, then yes.

How much do you like farming infantry?

Those missile pods fuck infantry to death if you can aim well. Especially tightly packed groups.

please just stop with the double spacing, it reeks of reddit

No, it takes like 5-10 seconds for tank mines to arm

I personally double space because it is how I was taught to write papers in school, so it's a habit that has transferred to places like this. Is it really that big of a deal?

How long ago did they make the change from having separate resource pools for infantry/land vehicle/air vehicle to what we currently have with a single nanite pool?

How long have you been gone from this game?

I only started playing recently, there's just tons of videos around where that system is still in place.

It's something that you typically see ledditors do. It's also incredibly annoying having to move your focus down unnecessarily when it could easily continue. Like this.

it was around summer or fall of 2014 that they revamped it.

I have an irrational fear of posting ugly blocks of text and often double space when it really isn't necessary

Really? for what purpose? I thought double spacing is for paragraphing your essay, not every fucking line. Did they change how you wrote papers in highschool in the last 10 years?

its just often the first thing you can recognize a plebbitor by. the double spacing makes the post looks even worse of a clusterfuck than "ugly blocks of text"

exactly this. double spaces are only for seperating/distinguishing paragraphs from eachother. youre not supposed to do it every other fucking line.

No.
AND IF ANYONE TELLS YOU OTHERWISE, THEY'RE A FAGGOT

It's annoying to read and is a tell tale sign of a foreigner.

Should I get smoke for my LA? I done ever use grenades.

I have a smoke launcher for my engi long rifle.
I haven't figure out how to effectively use it yet.

Lazy compilation of XYChromosome going into an autistic rage when I killed him once and talked shit.

He actually looked up my stats and gave me "justhereforthegatekeeper"(nice reddit meme) to look up which is apparently his "tryhard account"

Smoke is best used on an engineer and in support of a squad. The guys I play with use it pretty regularly to cover movement across open areas, and it's genuinely effective at it.

But that's pretty much the limit of its usefulness. You can try and use it in close quarters, but it doesn't last long enough to really provide a lasting benefit - and for the most part it fucks up your team as much as it does the enemy.

If you're going to use it, try to make sure you're only hitting enemy positions. It annoys the fuck out of people and you'll always hear someone yelling over proxy for idiots to stop spamming smoke everywhere (even if it's actually the enemy doing it).

Keep in mind that anyone running in potatomode won't even render the smoke to begin with.

Doing gods work

...

That dude even sent a ragetell my way

I haven't played in about six months, I would get back on and join you guys but I'm stuck on a laptop for now.

Hes actually carrying on with me about how he just auraxed his cobalt in a very silent one sided conversation

I think we broke him.

Ahaha, vanufags mad as fuck as always.

why is it always the vanu and never the NC where we get ragetells from. and i really hope we did. this guy needs to kill himself

It's all the freedom baby

I think he has a crush on you user. He just wants you to notice him. What a faggot.

NC too focused on murdering TR to care. They rise, charge, fall, and rise again until something red falls with them. They're like bulls.

Vanu just concerned about high volume, skillful murder, they get angry when their technology is out matched

I meant smoke markers squad leads can put down
Smoke launchers are pretty meh, useful if you all equip IRNV and black out an area for a charge. Works on regulars but statwhores don't have smoke rendering.

...

I thought they did it because people were stacking Tank Mines and C4 next to Anti-Infantry Mines near doors for bigger, hopefully MAX rush killing booms.

But most classes usually have much better ranged Automatic options anyways…

How is the NC liking the Gorgons?

The Brass is impressed!

Too bad they get Wendee Lee as the "Calculating" voice…

I'd use them, if I even had a squad to lead…

>>>/reddit/

I used gorgons a bit

At first they seemed pretty fucking great… but a couple days later when I tried them again it felt like they'd nerfed the CoF to shit. I've gone back to slug mattocks since.

I've always wanted to ask how your firefights end up like that. Every time I run into enemies I die instantly from headshots before they turn around, and I get like 60 ping.

I'm pretty sure I'm just bad, but that means I'm doing something wrong.

Just luck/timing

I'm usually only recording highlights, rather than average gameplay

Here's getting rekt in half a second for the more authentic planetside feel

here's that jewtube video of our aerial shenanigans yesterday my only excuse for 6:47-6:49 is that I was giggling like a retard :^)

They might have, I think for a bit there was a bug that made the Basilisk all shoot super fast, and the Gorgon IS a single barrel Bassy.

you need to ask for a refund fam, that's only to separate paragraphs.

Late 2014, just assume anything you learn from those videos is outdated because it really is

Is equipping a maxed out grenade bandolier on my heavy assault and spamming the fuck out of anti-vehicle/concussion grenades an effective strategy?

That reminds me, I forgot to post something yesterday.
>[email protected]/* */
I'm still baffled what he meant by this. Shit talk? Feeling persecuted? Confused the Crown for the Sierra Madre Casino?

forgot my image like a dumbass

That guy sends a lot of tells. I killed him once and he actually complimented me, then I killed him again and he accused me of hacking.

Ps4 controls will never be a replacement for a mouse and keyboard. Cant hit shit. Hopefully I can get on next week.

feels bad, man

I love you faggots

That guy complained about using "silly verticals" when I was in a harasser and also about "no tank mines on my road" when I put mine down. Fucking Vanu.

I meant vehicles

Rare footage of TR actually using Liberators

always shoot air, not only can you nigger someone else's certs it does actually damage ESFs quite a bit

Hey Battlebards. I'm thinking of barding a little myself.

What program/setup do you recommend?

I snapped some screengrabs. Nothing super amazing, but documentation is nice.

My Galaxy was killed by an AT mine left by a headless Tranu.

The guy who wiped the floor with us once is actually not that big of a fag. I guess it really is just a VS problem.

Virtual audio cable and a music player of your choice. I don't know how to keep the prox chat button in the pressed state though.

At the very least, the plinking sounds distract and discourage them from attacking.
I have no idea what happened but I think it tried to kamikaze me, so it either smacked into my Sundy or its burning husk.

epic wisdom anonymous
Faggot.

I use autohotkey. Bind prox chat to scroll lock and get a script to toggle scroll lock down.
It's annoying as fuck though as I can't type with shift anymore for some strange reason. Also if you click outside planetside you stop broadcasting to prox chat, so watch out for that.

I use an actual audio cable plugged into a tablet headphone jack to my microphone jack, then I put a weight on my prox chat key.

Oh shit, there's a thought. I've got a tiny laptop that I could set to the side so I can jukebox without having to try to keep PS2 from crashing when doing anything outside of its window.

I messaged him with the intention to piss him off, so whatever.

Yeah, tabbing out stops broadcasting. I noticed that too.
I use a folded piece of paper to lock my prox chat key. It works but comes loose sometimes.

TR AT THE CROWN

I love how many natural ramps are in this game. It's like a GTA map. Too bad I always end up flipping my Harasser whenever I do jumps in combat.

How do we improve new and old player retention while also making it not kill centric?
I was thinking of a player-based quest system that is optional, but has to be certed into. This will create a new directive for objectives completed by the player made quests. This directive is monthly, but is jewish in that it will grant rewards for any faction regardless of faction. so you can get a chance at getting a gold decimator or striker, even if youre NC and have never made a TR character. Or maybe you can get a shitty helmet, like the schwartz helmet.
These quests will be created by the player. To prevent jewish players, I would add a 10 minute cooldown, make them only applicable to thise i. Squads, and a maximum of 50 quests per day.

What do you lads think?

Worse than [AODR].

There needs to be more to do than killwhore. Use PS1 as a model. The construction system was a step in the right direction.

Also requesting if someone can do some compression magic with webms on mine, would really impress the brass.

Right, so thats why I would prefer the quests be base-centric. Like attacking/defending. No kills involved. Only coordination.
The award directive would just be for supply things that could be initiated by the leader guy. Like deploying a sunderer. It would add to yor directive, and if it was part of a quest/mission, it would give you extra experience.
Really did not mean for the idea to come off as kill based.

I don't see how this day's typical FPS audience can be retained by any incentive that doesn't involve farming kills and muh K/D. It's what killed Battlefield

The best you can hope for is like what says and reintroduce logistics but there aren't enough players around anymore to support anything like some kind of rear echelon supplying bases in the inner territories and frontlines.

True, that would mean implementing a better tutorial though. I really think players need interaction to stick with the game.

Flak or kinetic for your max? Which do you prefer?

Construction was a good idea because it let players decide where they want a fight to take place in. Letting players feel like they had a hand in creating conflict is what makes it fun.

How about some sort of caravan supply system? Have a specific vehicle transport cargo between checkpoints and bases to get some sort of benefit for the empire. The enemy could see predicted patterns (similar to how they see HIVES) and prey on said vehicles. If done right it could lead to fights in parts of the maps where there usually never are any.
I'm sure PS1 had something similar but just a thought.

I forgot to note how with the current logistics system you're never short on the supply nanites for grenades/C4/vehicles/etc. regardless of how much/little territory you own in either of the available continents and continents you may have locked. Originally the nanites were divided between 3 pools of resources (for personal items, land vehicles, and aircraft) and the resource gain was dependent on the territories you currently owned. The other big factor is in the map design. I mentioned Battlefield because in Battlefield 2 and 2142 the maps were built in a way that would send both teams down a clear path through all the points before fighting each other. This allowed squads and the commander to prioritize which points to go after and where to hold the line. The best coordination from that game was almost purely nonverbal. This sort of worked in the first game because of the lattice system and continent locking with the logistics to hold it all together. And the bases in PS1 were fewer and farther between so battles weren't occurring every 200 meters. This can't work in Planetside 2 because every continent is a giant square that's littered with bases and outposts that go in virtually every direction with The Crown at Indar being the only real point in the map where all 3 factions converge (at the expense of everything else going on around them)

ANTs and facilities being powered are just one thing. I think only major facilities should have power and require ANTs.

There needs to be a way to interact with a facility that doesn't have to do with capturing it, something disruptive, like in PS1, with draining a base, or cutting a base's power so that it stops generating its benefit.

Alternative ways of capturing a hex need to return. Again, PS1 did this with the LLU system. Some bases you can only capture by winning a mini game of capture-the-flag. It would be best if the LLU system was only used for major facilities. This would make it so that players have to arrange transportation of the LLU. In PS2's case, they'd probably have to bring the football to their warpgate, and not a connecting base, in order to capture it, so that airchav can coordinate interceptors.

apparently, he's also quite adept in the art of the bat-free ishygddt

God dammit

It's easy to make high quality, low space encodes using ffmpeg with libvpx-vp9 and libopus.
Here's a Windowsfag version. Paste this into the command line.
ffmpeg -i -c:v libvpx-vp9 -pass 1 -b:v 0 -crf 40 -threads 8 -speed 4 \-tile-columns 6 -frame-parallel 1 \-an -f webm -y NUL &&ffmpeg -i -c:v libvpx-vp9 -pass 2 -b:v 0 -crf 40 -threads 8 -speed 2 \-tile-columns 6 -frame-parallel 1 -auto-alt-ref 1 -lag-in-frames 25 \-c:a libopus -b:a 64k -f webm out.webm
This assumes you're in the same folder as the ffmpeg.exe binary. Put the video name in for and change the CRF number to balance quality and size.
Warning: This will take much longer than the older vp8 that software like WebM for Retards uses because it does not utilize more than one CPU core.

this is why I don't record my mic :^)

I imagine you have a waifu-tier voice since you meme so well.

maybe we can ask wrel over for a talk. I mean, the only place DBG gets their comunity feedback from is plebbit. I think they will be glad with some input from other places.

I will make wwew-sponsored reddit account :DD. Meee pick me :DD

We could just give him a list of our demands
suggestions.

This does work I guess.

Why don't we make an "official" [wwew] subreddit where we say we're taking applications, and that they should mark them with a certain key word so we know to instantly throw them in the trash? I had the idea for a website but it wouldn't show up in the search results.

I think the main problem with our community is that its a f2p game community. They think playing the game shouldnt require too much effort once you drop in. When you looked at Planetside 1, it was a pay to play communty, and more people were willing to put effort into a game that they wasted money on. As much as Id love the logistics of planetside 1 and shit, I think Planetside 2 should be more hand-holdy. Maybe they can add a tutorial and it might work.
Basically, its a blame game that goes back to the devs. Hopefully they can fix this by Planetside 3 never ever ;_;

I was just kidding faggots. Besides, Im not sure if they listen to their official forum more or plebbit. They might not even go there because Wrel might be the filter for all of the shit that goes through.

You've got a massive battlefield with a high tech setting and you're not capitalizing on everything that can be done with the medium. Give players more to do. First and foremost, expand basebuilding. I know this is already in the works, but people (myself included) go nuts for making things.

ANTs need some common-sense buffs to perform their roles, like being able to improve their Cortium harvest rate, not just capacity. Nothing gets my blood rushing like sitting there waiting for a bar to fill while I hold one button down. These are hunter-gatherer vehicles; the fact that there's no option to apply a zoom of any kind to the driver is super frustrating, nevermind the fact that you can only turn your PoV 20 degrees or so in either direction. Combined with the requirement to traverse unstable terrain (good luck staying on roads while hunting Cortium) in a game engine that doesn't deal with that kind of thing gracefully, it makes the first half of basebuilding flow like sandpaper. If it were me, I'd just make ANTs into GNATs and make them low-altitude fan-based hover vehicles. Max altitude of 10' or so. We also desperately need the ability to mark Cortium deposits. There's very little ability for non-leadership players to accurately communicate locations, and even less ability for those locations to go on some sort of communal record that can be referred to as needed. Another really useful function would be to be able to take Cortium back out of a Silo to transport it. Maybe to salvage what you can from a falling base, or to use one base to leapfrog to another location.

And as much as I cringe to give Infiltrators more dickish things to do, the ability to outright capture a player-made base rather than having to destroy it would add a lot of meta to how you approach fortifications.

tl;dr expand basebuilding, but please streamline what already does exist

Greatly reduce the grind involved in directives requiring kills.

Make it so gaining stuff like an auraxium medal is based on points/xp you get with a weapon/vehicle rather than purely through kills.

I'd be glad to give devs advice on what they could do better if they listened. Few do, but you can try.
If this dev talk ends up being a thing I suggest we invite him into the platoon ingame. Less chance of skinwalkers telling him horseshit.

Only problem is devs live in california, so we would have to move to connery. But that would also mean losing all of our yuro memers.

Or just make one for WEWW and have all the newfag retards go there thinking they are joining WWEW

t. super helpful support player

Is there even a way to benefit numerically from laying down smoke?

I think yesterday some people in the outfit said they've caught Wrel playing VS on our server. We'd just have to get him to make a TR character.
Mind you, this is if he shows any interest at all. I don't know what he thinks of our bunch of misfits.

I think adding navel maps and space maps with what's expected from that would really be neat

I also want giant mechs

I'd kill for this.
I'm disgusted that this isn't already in the game. Put in user permissions like vehicles and set the default to silo owner only to curb griefing.

Fund it.

Or they could just make a lootbox directive that has different objectives every day instead of making the "grind" directives easier. Think like a jewish mobile game producer goy.

tfw PS2 will never run on Wine again

How would you even quantify the benefits of it?

this is exactly what DBG should focus on right now. make player made bases a bigger thing and make it usefull for the building team and threatfull for the the enemy even when there is no core in it.
make actual existing bases more interesting alot more interesting, think of the hacking system and suply line mechanic in planetside 1 (not as in depth though)

we do have some decent ideas. and with our "out with kill/statwhore" additude i think we might have a chance.

characters are going to be free to switch servers in the next update i think. it wont be to much of a problem.

he plays on all factions. and he plays on all factions alot. he lists all his character names in one of his video's

This kills me inside. I hate being in my Windows partition and I'm so addicted to this game that I end up staying in it all day. I can't get anything done because all my productivity shit is in the Linux partition. Plus I was stupid enough to install the UEFI version of W7 which can't be activated with that Daz loader, so I get constant nags that knock me out of full screen for videos and some games.

Amount of Tranu infilshitters that couldnt raise their KDR * ([Tranu_KDR] - 1) = effectiveness

...

TR is the best no matter what is "op" or not. Tactical superiority will always be victorious.

Was the runner even capable of riding shotgun in vehicles?

Oh I know that F2P brings in cancer for players, I was just saying that the game was not built in the way that would have even been close to supporting what we would have wanted it to do since implementing the changes would basically mean making the game again and starting over.

That's actually where I was going with that image, then I deleted that part of the post in favor of expanding on basebuilding. A spaceport would be a really cool level, perhaps anchored to an orbiting asteroid for variety in terrain. I'm not sure how the game would/could handle an actual naval battle without a complete overhaul for naval mechanics, but it would be cool.

What I really want to see is mechs and flying fortresses that can be ordered around by brass. I basically just want Battlefield 2142's Titans.

That and proper fixed-wing aircraft. I love flying stuff, but the "fighters" in the game currently are antigravity ballerina attack helicopters. I want to scare the shit out of the enemy by breaking mach 1 over their heads in a fixed-wing fighter.

That's another thing. Galaxies are under-expanded currently. I want to see a cert option that lets you trade out the non-gunner positions for the ability to carry a single large or two small vehicles. Or replace the infantry carrying capacity with an actual bomb bay. It should be highly effective, but require an actual RTB to reload. Carpet bombing or one large MOAB style "fuck you" would be a matter of weapon selection. This would further incentivize the existence of interceptors.

People say "but there are no runways!" Fuck runways. We have teleporters, antigravity, and nanite assembly. Append a vertical launch chute to the main bases that fire the things already at cruising velocity straight up. Landing would be handled like cruising into the back of Great Fox back in StarFox 64, and stylistically could be handled with a gravity snare.

1 XP per enemy bullet fired through the cloud that didn't hit something allied.

That reminds me, I was going to start executing non-wwew TR members that were obviously retreating from the battle with medkit in hand after I buy my Commisar hat with good goy points

how about instead of changing the current they add more air crafts and vehicles to the game I'd like to see artillery and missile launchers

oh and maybe drones too

auraxed the MSW-R

it's the best TR lmg by a lot unless you really like long-range shooting

10/10

Laser sight or forward grip?

you forget that the existing, deep rooted airchaff would lose their minds over this. i doubt DBG have the balls to do this

yeah its a great CQC/midrange LMG i bought it last week and already almost auraxed it, i need 100 more kills

i put a laser sight on it. the recoil is easy to compensate for.

forward grip for me because i like long-range shooting

laser sight might be nice

We should make out own TR tutorial. Kill run aways, talk shit with VS, best guns and shit. Though also we would have to worry about normalfags taking it so that could be a problem.

That's what I meant. The current aircraft are basically attack helicopters on a four-day bender. I want embed related.

Though yeah, if they just wanted to add actual empire-specific bombers, that would be preferable. I don't think we need empire-specific transports.

Apparently artillery is something they're working on. Small ion cannons in basebuilding for taking out enemy Skyshields, and a much larger artillery piece for doing what artillery does. Both are powered by Cortium, and the big one gets marked on the map for all when it's charging up. There's also going to be some kind of superweapon orbital strike thing, but we have no idea what it will entail.

actually what I'd suggest to DBG is to set up a server for update testing that's open to the public to use

kinda like eve online and also with that to make the game on one server cluster instead of separate servers

Yes, but by being in the vehicle they interfered with its handling and made it emit a yellow pulse that could be seen for miles. and it showed up on the map and minimap for everyone no matter where they were.

lmao we have that. Just nobody knows about it. Its called the PTS. They give you a million certs to spend for each character too.

launch.daybreakgames.com/installer/PS2_Test_setup.exe

...

whats the catch? Wouldnt everyone just play on that?

You download a seperate client essentially having 2 copies of the same game on your drive. And the test builds usually ran like shit for me so I stopped bothering with them

Nobody knows about it. Its funny since the bases can even be capped normally like on the live server. Even all of the cosmetics are 1 cert. Even make outfits on there too. We should probably use it to fuck around as an outfit. The benefit also is that you get to test out all of the weapons like the rocklet.

S-sorry senpai. Ill healslut for you tomorrow. J-just be gentle ok?

I was going to draw up some ideas for large scale multi-user mechs for each faction, but then I realized I was basically just making a quadrupedal Metal Gear REX for NC, a Sahelanthropus with its shoulder weapons replaced with MLRS racks for TR, and a smaller Desperado Custom RAY for VS.

Amerish status: GREAT AGAIN
NC status: LOW ENERGY

continued whining about overpop based on stats derived from the moment we win (it was only like a couple percent advantage)

If that's all it takes to win, then step up your game, Burgers.

GOOD NEWS!
They are adding in a Buildable Ramp to Construction!
It's currently on Test, not much OF a Ramp, but it's at least enough to get a Turbo Flash or Harrasser over a Rampart Wall.

Agreed, though I don't think forcing players into an escort mission is quite the way to do it…

Eh, I wasn't much of a fan of that system anyways, mostly because we didn't have Sanctuaries where Vehicles or MAXes could be pulled "For free," and the constant three-way continent setup created a situation where the side 'winning' would have superior resources, but could never actually PUSH another faction out.

Agreed, though we've known about this since Beta; For Planetside to BE Planetside, IT NEEDS A LARGE NUMBER OF CONTINENTS TO FIGHT ACROSS!

Indeed, though I'd rather it NOT be LLUs, at least at first.

I actually had an idea back when we were arguing for the Lattice to be put in that would work PERFECTLY now that we have the current Construction System; The Lattice isn't just a network of "Hardline Connections," its a literal nanite pipeline pumping Resources between Bases.
Now that we have ANTs and Cortium, we could now have a system like the old NTU Silos "powering" Bases, except NOW there is this huge network of Pipeline with various Access Points and Flow Control Valves that allows an Empire to distribute any Cortium their members dump into it all across their Controlled Territories.
So, Supportfags like me could ANT around, fill up our rigs, then just dump it into a Lattice Pipeline Access Point where it would then NORMALLY be distributed to every single Territory our Empire owns.

Thing is, this Pipeline also has a series of Control Valves between each Territory, which is what prevents all an Empires' Cortium from being directly siphoned off by the other two.
These Valves can be hacked, which will engage the failsafe to lock the Valve closed even if it is between two Territories owned by the same Empire, theoretically allowing an enemy Special Ops group to control WHERE the Cortium is flowing and therefore slowly deprive certain Bases of their power supply.

Once a Base goes dark, it goes neutral like in the original game, and whoever powers it back up by re-filling its local Silo while holding the Capture Points claims control.

Cont.

Eh, I wouldn't go to Wrel with this, he's more included to the K/D crowd, even outright stating he thinks MORE Continents would KILL the game…

Again agreed, but I'll get into it more in depth…

They actually do have another Mandible Mining Laser on PTS right now.
It harvest faster, but it also heats up quicker, meaning it's better at collecting small deposits but doesn't have the endurance for the huge ones like the default does.

I'll address this first, as I've got other IDEAS for the GNAT concept; I think Mining Radar should mark Cortium for ALL allied ANTs.
That way, only one ANT has to have it, and ad-havoc team synergies with arise naturally out of player co-operation.

THIS is actually what I had in mind for GNATs!
Back in the original Game, BFRs could equip a weapon known as an NTU Siphon, which could drain the Nanites out of a Bases' Silo.
If we also had permanent Bases "powered" by a Lattice Pipeline linked Cortium Silo, I could imagine the GNAT as basically an Aerial Flash Equivalent, by default armed with such a Siphon System.
It could suck out Cortium from ANY Silo, friendly or enemy, Permanent or Constructed, then deposit it elsewhere, only limited by it's rather small capacity (1000 to start, 2000 fully certed)

Eh, I wouldn't give them the ability to outright CAPTURE whole player-made Bases, but I would not be opposed to them being able to Hack things like Modules to either shut them down temporarily or turn them against their masters.

Cont.

Well I don't know about Space, but Naval COULD be done…
Problem is, we'd need proper WORKING WARPGATES first, basically turning the central beam into a giant teleporter like in the Original Game, THEN tinkering with that concept to see if it could work on an even larger scale, basically turning the boundaries of a Continental Map from a killer out-of-bounds into a giant one-way "teleporter" wall.

Then, it's just a matter of figuring out how to make a system for HOW WATER IS ACTUALLY SUPPOSE TO WORK IN THIS GAME, expanding the Map Boundaries a bit off-shore, and making vehicles that interact with the now working Water system.

…This is also where giant Skyships and BFRs come back in;
Skyships would probably be Aerial Carrier Craft hauling an entire Platoon of Armor from one Continent to another over the Ocean, while BFRs would become ABFRs, basically Amphibious Ships with legs to slowly walk up the beach.

Yeah, problem is SOE made a LOT of excuses as to why such systems wouldn't be possible in the first place (This was also why they said you can't change weapons on a vehicle after you've pulled one)…
Of course, that could just be that they were too damn lazy to actually put the work into the vehicle code to give them that modularity, as I'd also like MUH LODESTAR BACK!

It also reduced their maxiumim speed, and I don't think you were able DIRECTLY board an Aircraft, but I'm unsure about being the passenger on a vehicle loaded into a Galaxy or Lodestar…

Empire Specific Bombers are probably the easiest to implement and thus get in the game…
Still, the Original Liberator was a Bomber, and now the closest we came is that cam-guided missile it never got…

God damn it Holla Forums, TELL ME WHEN I'VE TYPED TOO MUCH!!!

Wrel has made a few videos about improving new player experience and retention by improving social features, namely squads intended for new players with leaders in them who can teach and help them. The social aspect is the most integral part of keeping new players in. I tried this game back in early 2014 and lost interest quickly because I never joined an outfit. Same happened 2 more times I tried getting into it before wwew came along, and now I have a membership and GoyCoins and about 200 hours since early May when I started. It's crucial to get new players involved in squads that will teach them and outfits that will be friends and mentors to them. That's the single biggest thing that either will keep new players in or make them lose interest and leave.
I'm planning on making an outfit dedicated to recruiting, teaching and retaining new players once wwew dies out. Not happening anytime soon but it is an inevitability sadly, and since retention is shit, I'm going to do what I can to boost the TR's player retention, population numbers, and in turn, our tactical superiority.

I need some source on this my man

I might want to join you…

Somewhere in this video…

He's right though, ps1 continents didn't have as many bases and even with more players than ps2 currently has it could still look dead

Not making it any easier for yourself my man.

Hossin doesnt count as a continent. Seriosuly though, I think one more continent that is actually playable would help the population. Its kind of sad when no one actually goes to hossin, despite having the best designed bases.
Id rather have optimizations over another continent, but they already have searhus assets in the files.

His statement that more continents would kill the game seems to stem from the low playercounts, which he is pretty much spot on about. Even with only 2 continents unlocked there are still plenty of territories during peak hours that have almost nobody in them. If there were more players to the servers (or ideally more players in general as a result of better retention) it would not be an issue. So he is technically right in what he is saying, at least in the context he is saying it.

many things have been in the game's files for a long time lad unless that was introduced recently. I'm with you though, i'd rather have dbg disable their bitcoin miners :^) before they improve a game that nobody can play to begin with

This made me think about why I play alot, I honestly have started to be a little less "hopeful" if that's the right word of playing for another week or month. Playing with you all is fun but I just don't know if i'm motiviated to play. Maybe it's because the way i've been playing which is pretty much just medic, healing and resing the dead. I play engie sometimes and just repair shit. Killing has sorta just lost my sights.

(Checked)
Sadly the only thing that keeps me coming back to this game is that its a unique experience that Ive always wanted. Being in an outfit extends the period before burnout, but the game will burn you out. ;_;/

how do people get more than 2fps with shadows on

That was pretty good, he's put a lot of thought into what different people like to do. I would honestly like a reason to take a base. he only ones that you actually care about right now are the tech plants, otherwise the don't matter.

...

All bases in PS1 mattered, from Bioplants making respawn timers lower and giving a max health bonus if you captured 2 or more, AMP stations allowing vehicle shields to regenerate while in a friendly SOI and even Interlink facilities giving enhanced base radars and so on.

Hell, only certain facilities allowed cert changes on the fly (Bioplants) or allowed you to field and repair big aircraft like Galaxies without having to pull it from a Tech Plant or the Sanctuary (Dropship Centers) and they all had different strenghts and weaknesses for both attacking and defending in their layouts.

More importantly, why aren't there Capitol bases? In PS1 faction lockdown continents, there used to be central bases named Capitols that were completely protected from any assault by enemies by a gigantic energy shield and they were interconnected by 4 sub-capitol bases. You could only take down the shield and allow the facility to be captured by hacking at least 3 of the sub-capitol facilities, as long as 2 of the 4 sub-capitol facilities of the same empire were connected to it the shield would stay online.

Call me when we fight NC so I can get mad at shotgun MAXes instead.

Well they don't need the twelve or fourteen Continents PS1 LAUNCHED with either, but I'd rather have more than the handful we've got now.

TECHNICALLY yes, but it still glosses over the fact the CORE of Planetside is suppose to be its Combined Arms Global Conquest!
Thing is, the fight on those two unlocked Continents is ALWAYS going to be the same three way split.
You are constantly fighting over the same couple of Bases against one opponent or the other, which only changes when there is an extreme imbalance shifting the fight…
…And what happens THEN?
A Continent will most likely get LOCKED shortly after, and since there is no support for actual INTERCONTINENTAL warfare like in the original game, the only way to UNLOCK a Continent is to either greatly increase the active population or LOCK another Continent (Which will most likely be done by which ever side was favored by the previous imbalance).
You can't HART drop in and start fucking up a Base to make it go Neutral, YOU CAN'T EVEN DRIVE FROM ONE CONTINENT TO ANOTHER!
There is no room for stratagem, we've barely got the breathing room for TACTICS!

There needs to be a bit of space between the Factions, if only to give them enough land to wage war ACROSS at the very least, but more likely to give each side over-arching goals to either strive for or abandon in the interim.

Well that's sort of the issue with a lack of an Intercontinental Lattice; They've turned each Continent into a gigantic version of any other instance based, Capture the Point FPS Map.

As I commented on that video, one of the BIGGEST reasons WHY we fight is, simply, TO STICK IT TO THOSE OTHER GUYS!
It's mostly pure bragging rights, hence one of the biggest deals in the Original Game was capturing a Factions' "Home Continents".
Home Continents were the two Continents a Factions unassailable Sanctuary was directly connected to.
As a Sanctuary was the starting point for a Faction AND allowed for the pulling of unlimited Vehicles and Weapons, it was fairly hard to keep the ever-flowing tide of men and machines coming from one Sanctuary Warpgate contained, let alone TWO.
Still, since a Faction did not necessarily need a DIRECT connection to their Sanctuary to capture Territory on a Continent, it was possible to take them an unwary, underpopulated enemy with enough skill and coordination.

So, what was the REWARD for such a feat?
You got to use that Empires' Specific Vehicles!

Yes, much like Vehicle Hacking for an individual, this allowed an ENTIRE FACTION to give another the GIANT MIDDLE FINGER by taking away something that made them unique.

Cont.

While Re-certification (and changing Implants) were something you could only do at Bio Labs, they really weren't that big of a deal, since you probably did both at your Sanctuary anyways…

And you couldn't even pull Galaxies or Lodestars (WHICH ARE FUCKING AWESOME) from Tech Plants, they were just needed for Liberators (And their purely anti-armor variant, Vultures), Skyguards (an ENTIRELY separate, AWESOME two-man buggy in the Original), ES MBTs, Reavers (They and Mosquitos were Common Pool, the Mossy only had a chaingun and a Radar feature, while the Reaver was the Rocket Podder), Wasp (an Interceptor with Coyote-like missiles and lighter nose gun), AND THE PHANTASM (Think a Valkyrie with no gun but able to Cloak instead)!

We'd need enough Continents for any to actually BE Capitols in the first place…

AND DAMN IT Holla Forums, WHY NO CHARACTER LIMIT WARNING BEFORE POSTING?!?!

this general is going places and i'm not quite sure if i want to go to those places

I can't wait to start complaining about how I've been there from the start. Six or so more threads.

I used to run kinetic only, but decided to give flak a try one day

flak makes a huge difference; the stuff that'll kill you 9/10 times is a tank mine or c4. If you're getting shot, you can just run away. When you get C4'd you almost never see it coming.

I only use flak now

Get the fuck out.
>>>/reddit/

Or what, you challenge me to a 1v1?

This isn't /vg/ so stop acting like it is. Lurk more.

Huh, do they even still play this game anymore? Review was like 3 years ago and Joe has a really bad tendency of never following up on stuff down the line.
Wonder if when PS2 gets the Relaunch Wrel is aiming for Joe will review it and maybe help out the playercounts.

I don't play with fags, sorry, you might find someone that gives a shit back from where you came from.

>>>/reddit/

They had a BIT of a revival two years ago, with Delrith AKA Christoph Naumova attached himself to Joe as a "Community Manager."

I got banned from their Forums for pointing this out, but they've got the group set to auto-recruit anyways.

...

Well considering I'm some kind of autist….

Respawn bonus from Bio Labs was very nice over the course of prolonged fights because everyone would have their respawn penalty maxed out due to frequent deaths. The respawn bonus + faster respawn at a base gave defenders a distinct advantage vs. attackers who would be spawning at an AMS, which took a very long time + the respawn penalty.

In PS2, having a Bio Lab means you have to chug medkits slightly less. Great.

Of course, but they fucked that up royal in PS2 anyways.
MLGPros didn't want their Crops stuck in Respawn Timers AND everyone had to start off with a single Biolab on three way split Continents.

Dear god, you weren't kidding.
angryjoesucks2.blogspot.com/2015/08/delrith-from-ajsa-is-known-furry-and.html
This shit is horrifying. How does that fanbase defend this fat fuck?

Well from the regular moderators I got the good christian "We aren't going to judge people by what they may have done in their past" and a mandatory temp-ban for trying to incite a flame war…
…Then my account got permanently locked down.

Now-a-days most people just assume the hate thrown "Derlith" way is because he's an overweight neckbeard hanging out with an E-celeb, and not, you know, one of the most reviled Second Life Military Leaders and known social manipulator.

I have a question about the Scout Radar.
How far away does it transmit the information to allies?
Is it the same range as the detection, a set distance, or something else?

blackjack or uppercut?

They're practically the exact same so go with the one you like the aesthetics of more.

Its most likely the same as detection, I don't really see people beelining for targets on radar from outside the radius.

So I want to know if I'm being stupid or PlanetSide is; in all the webms of the outfit recorded with voice chat going on, it comes through very clear and loud. But when I'm in game, after turning master volume to max, voice chat volume to max, all other sounds down and my PC volume to near max I can still barely make out the outfit chat over the fighting. Am I doing something wrong? I mean I just have onboard sound but shit, I don't think it should make that much of a difference.

So where do I gotta sign up to basically cause the most VS tears as possible?

I mostly play NC but I also have some good stats/items on TR.

I'm in a "just soloed a VS liberator using nothing but an engineer, Archer, and a large fucking rock and then shot his asshat friend who rushed in on an ATV" mood.

Find out where their HA farm squads are and start sniping.

ya fuckin burger

Honestly, at this point I have an unspoken truce with all Emerald TR that unless it's a TR vs NC map I shoot VS and only VS.

Well that's already a large improvement over the majority of your vanu whipped faction. Some of you guys are alright. Don't go to the crown tomorrow.

Oh dear, let me tell you something about Delrith.
Blog post incoming.
I played with the DVS outfit back in PS2 beta and for a while in Live at Waterson (I wanted DVS to join Mattherson to fight The Enclave, but our leader was a bitch). Delrith was an officer in the outfit, and suffice to say he was an obnoxious piece of shit.
Everytime he streamed he told people to idle on his twitch channel to inflate his viewers, and it was one of those players that thought they were better than they actually are.
He was an absolute retard at leading platoons. He encouraged people to throw themselves into meatgrinders until the push worked, and I did not see that work ONCE.

After a while, the first SOE Live PS2 competition arrives and he participates. The competition was about being a killwhore in the Live server, whoever got the most kills win. Before SOE Live started, he asked the entire outfit to make TR alts for him to kill. Eventually he won (lolscatmax), and his ego went through the roof. Then one day I hop on his stream and heard him talking about being #1 in kills for NC, and I jokingly said 'be careful, because I'm catching up'. I went on with my day and then I logged on PS2. I heard him say I was talking shit on his stream, and after a while it turned in a hackusation because my character had ridiculous stats compared to his.

So I ask him about it. He didn't reply.
He flatout kicked me from the outfit for being better than him. He told DVS to mass report me and TK me, and the leader of the outfit was sucking Delrith's cock so hard he said to me 'sorry he's an officer, there's nothing I can do'. Eventually another officer rejoins me, and as soon as Delrith sees me in the outfit he kicks me again.

Time passes, and I stumble upon this
encyclopediadramatica.se/Christoph_Naumova
youtube.com/watch?v=HmObJyCbwII

I also found out that Delrith was a cheater himself, he actually has a VAC ban record on his steam account.

Long timeskip, I joined ZAPS and started playing VS as my main faction, and then I hear Delrith is a community manager for AngryJoe. He streamed often and I, obviously, streamsniped the living shit out of him.

youtube.com/watch?v=2-dZGbLL5Xg

This is the first time I killed him with my very first NC character, Sulphur.
Look at his face when he recognizes the name.

tl;dr Delrith is a delusional, furry, attention whoring shitter neckbeard
I dare you to listen to the entire video of Everlasting Snowmew

nailing scythes with ap rounds is satisfying as fuck

Oh I've had my suspicious he's still the same shithead he's always been, the problem is that he's parasitically attached himself to Angry Joe personally…
The Angry Joe fanboys automatically jump to his defense because he's wormed his way into Joe's personal circle, not realizing that psychological manipulation is the bastards MO and that the strain of being a content producer and entertainer leaves Joe emotionally vulnerable to such bullshit.

To the guy asking what balanced the saron I'll give it to you shortly:
its worse than the halberd for what the magrider does best, strafe peaking with terrain. the saron has six shots and an expanding COF (unlike most AV weapons) basically you can get just better than halberd dps if you're at super close range but its worse at average engagement range. The reload time doesn't pair up with the main gun so if you strafe normally you only get three shots off on average. If you're an idiot fagrider pilot and drive without cover anywhere its alright I guess.
It works like a shittier vulcan on a harasser but with longer range

please be careful where you place antitank mines because i'm just throwing emp grenades wherever

what the fuck am i listening to.

And nothing of value was lost

How many are on right now? Normally it's dead this late at night.

ps2.fisu.pw/outfit/?name=wwew

The average k/d has gone up past 1? Holy shit, we must be getting better.

Has nacho made a dedicated statwhoring character?

that's the default rank, one of the officers is being a bad goy and not changing it

That's an AC guy

I ran prowler all night and god, i hate fucking scythes just blasting my anus

Are medkits balanced? I honestly feel like I'm fucking cheating sometimes with how I can carry around 4 nearly instant full health restores.

Should I buy the TMG-50 or T16 Rhino for my next LMG?

I hear mixed things about the Rhino and Bull, but the TMG-50 is a great long range gun. You can snipe niggers easily.

What's a good carbine progression for cert spending? I already have the Trac Burst if that matters.

WWEW

Jaguar is orgasmic if you don't have it already.

Guess I'll save up certs for it. It's not like I play anything other than engie.

It was the first gun I auraxed. You won't regret it.

Everything is a downgrade from the TRAC-5B so just get whatever

If it isn't, I'm going to be upset.

Works for me.

Ok so STORIES TIME and shit

I was in DVS for almost all its operating time, and personally I don't give a fuck what Del faps too as long as its not murder porn etc, but lets talk about the man himself

Delrith is absolutely fucking terrible at PS2 to the point I would constantly yell back at his fucking retard ass about not doing things properly

He aimbots, he might have used the hitbox exploint and he massively stat pads (And was banned once for it then let back in) and has the IQ of a fucking tic-tac

He can't read a map, he doesn't call out objectives properly as he'd rather be in the middle of the fray fighting than barking out orders which makes him a terrible platoon leader

The only reason AJ "Hired" him is because he saw Delrith's fucking massively overpadded stats and thought "MAN THIS GUY IS AMAZING!"

His only defense every time is "I'm not a cheater!" yet he's been VAC banned for it before, meanwhile he has stats that would make even the top ZAPS player fucking cry planetside2.com/players/#!/5428010618019910801/stats

46% infantry accuracy WITH NC WEAPONS? Oh yeah, he's just THAT good right?

I've played next to the man and watched him be completely oblivious to troops just to snap around like a crack addict and kill multiple ppl, and watching him look through walls at incoming enemies.

The best part is when he streamed and he couldn't run these hacks he absolutely fucking sucks, he gets schooled by the biggest lowbies and suffers from extreme tunnel vision in any vehicles

And everyone else in DVS hated him because he absolutely didn't know his shit, but because all his hacking/aimbots made him seem "Good" he got higher up in the outfit than he ever should of, and then got kicked out the fucking millisecond the outfit god legit proof he was hacking, after which he went to AJ

And that's my interactions with Delrith, he's a terrible player who only plays games he has hacks with and has the situational awareness of a fucking sloth

OH! And I swear he gets off on being a platoon lead, as he constantly wants him and only him talking using platoon chat, and everyone else should "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" etc which completely defeats the point of it because having your troops calling out incoming enemies etc helps you, not hinders you

But since he can't concentrate on something for more than half a second without an aimbot he is constantly telling ppl to shut up and him and only him should be allowed to speak

How active is the outfit from monday to Wednesday?
I'm home only every other weekend, do i miss much?

same it always is, half a squad to two full squads bordering on starting a third.

I hear this a ton

This is his new TR character after he got banned for aimbotting and couldn't use it anymore

GEE, ACCURACY SURE HIT THE FUCKING SKIDS DIDN'T IT?

Medkits makes medics near worthless. Pretty annoying to go to heal someone with one tick of life left only for them to chug a medkit and hop back into the fight. I've basically given up on healing unless they call for it. Killing and rezzing only.

Don't forget shielding. Medkits can't heal shields, thankfully.

I stopped running shield regen since every time it would be useful it gets EMP'd. Maybe I'll try it out again next patch.

EMP spam is so obnoxious, I didn't notice it that much until fairly recently that just about any semi-large fight will have those things flying all over the place.

Although I'm just as big of an asshole because I've started spamming concussion grenades into rooms.

Sometime yesterday I mentioned that some random guy messaged me for an invite into the outfit. That guy was ElDoctorOscuro, he's probably a reddit skinwalker. I'd say to keep an eye on him.

Then you're a smart one.

I have been telling people how useful smoke, flash and concussion grenades are.
They can wreak a defense force when you're assaulting points.

Chances are he won't show up in this thread since we're passed bump limit.

Nacho officially has the Benis Majoris rank and no longer occupies the She was only 12 one.

In other news, Vanu still dumb as rocks. He tried the same shit 5 times in a row before I got this.

I have a hard time actually getting confirmation that they worked on anyone. So far I just treat it as a game of throwing 2-4 grenades in and hoping it did something.

When they applied, they said they were from Holla Forums, so I accepted them based on that. If they act like they're from reddit or something, just screencap it or something and tell an officer.

Why are we still accepting applications? Only reddit is late to the party.

...

Fuck me, I did the exact same thing.
Then again I'm an ausfag so I miss out on all the fun shit anyway.

benus is that you? we have been only been pulling planes to kamikaze into zergs

Evorsio? Why do you get shit on for platoon lead by revonox?

Around what time do you guys usually play, and what timezone?

...

gmt -3:00 guess where i'm from, normally from 6pm to 6am however i might play all day when i can't sleep which is pretty common

That guy isn't in the outfit

Significance?

Story time?

I hope it's story time

Increase the ducking setting in voice. It gets pretty loud during big battles, and ducking eliminates all other sound in favor of the voice channel.

Most people are online 1:00-2:00 pm CST. We can fill up maybe 2 or 3 squads on the weekend.

oh thank god

this guy was a fucking blight on 4/tg/ for the longest time and apparently he's moved here now
too bad 8archive is fucking dead, this is the best i can get
archive.4plebs.org/tg/search/username/whiteagle/
archive.4plebs.org/tg/search/username/nicedaemonette/

Im a fucking idiot. I had the recieve volume turned down, that certainly doesn't help, I was only checking the Audio tab. Thanks.

Not only that but he's from /ps2g/, which makes pretty ironic.

For those that have not seen DSP jerk off.

I don't personally think they're balanced. They add too much health on use, grant invincibility frames due to how damage is sent/received at the server, and you can carry too many of them at once.

If it were a 1-time use item, or multiple uses, but less health gained, they'd be a little more acceptable.

Doing some quick napkin math:
1 medkit = +500hp (+833 on resist heavy)
4 medkits = +2000hp (+3333 on resist heavy)

So a resist heavy has a potential hitpoint pool of up to 5000 ehp; in practice it's probably more like 3000-4000. In other words 1 resist heavy chugging medkits is like trying to kill 3-5 regular infantry.

Heavies in general are unbalanced, but if you make them balanced k/d fags get tussymad because maybe then they'll have to rely on gitting gud

also adding, medkits need to be removed completely. that's why we have medics and more recently health regen implants and biolabs giving health regeneration

I'm Evorsio/Gazonthor, no idea of any legitimate reasons, but I met Revonox before on a game called Warface, a f2p CoD clone populated mostly by 3rd worlders and a shit anticheat. Revo not only posted on a hack forum using his ingame name(same as the one in PS2), but also managed to get himself banned by the shit anticheat, which baffled the entire clan we had going a few months ago.

I'm of the opinion that the restoration kits are fine, but the instant ones are pure cancer and should be eradicated.

However, makes a good point.

Would these changes make the game any better or is it a shitty idea?

No, that would make c4 fairies op by giving them the best weapons in game (assault raifus) and you'd create the same problem but now with more firepower by giving them overshields.
Deployable cover doesn't fit the game's style, the class could be more of a designated explosivesfag and have the shields only protect for explosions or have a best of both worlds where it protects from both explosions and small arms but only slightly, at the cost of being actually heavy and moving slower. In planetside 1 what you could call heavy did move slower because it required equipping a different vest with a move speed penalty

Makeshift barricades are definitely more of an engineer deal

The problem with heavy assaults is that they don't really have a counter that isn't another heavy assault, and without their overshield gimmick they'd be worse than medics at infantry combat.

pure suffering

Id rather have a cortium pouch for the engineer so we can put up a quick wall or something.

medikits need a cooldown

MUH LOADSTAR!!!

Same.

>His only defense every time is "I'm not a cheater!" yet he's been VAC banned for it before, meanwhile he has stats that would make even the top ZAPS player fucking cry planetside2.com/players/#!/5428010618019910801/stats

Yeah, same Christoph from Second Life:

-Can't do shit without exploits, hacking, cheap shit, or other dubious means

-Fucking Napoleonic ego-maniac who can't actually LEAD for shit, but is persuasive enough on a personal level to get people to over-look his incompetence

No, this is the scary thing…
Christoph somehow managed to insert himself into Joe's PERSONAL ENTOURAGE!
Seriously, go watch a recent Angry Movie Review, he's literally sitting at Joe's right hand.

Now, I'm hoping beyond hope that this is a mostly legitimate relationship.
After all, Joe is a pretty big fa/tg/uy himself from what I've seen, and if Christoph didn't legitimately share their interest then I would think he'd eventually piss Other Joe off enough to beat his shit in.

Still, I'd like to actually be able to talk with the rest of the Angry Army in order to keep an eye on him.

I haven't actually JOINED the group man, I'll play with y'all, but yeah…

Blight is a bit strong, but I did get permabanned from 4chan for simply being NiceDaemonette.

Yeah, and you guys actually care about something other than "MUH K/D!!!"

Since my Motto is "DIE FOR THAT MOTHER FUCKING POINT!" I naturally didn't get along with /ps2g/…

I think just having them give less health, like the Med Kits in the ORIGINAL game, would work.
Say, 250 HP per kit?
That way, someone holding all four CAN get themselves fully healed by chugging, but it also gives the Restoration Kit the full heal niche like said.

Hell, that's what most people actually use the DEFAULT turret for!

...

please, i dont care how much of an autist you are but please just stop namefagging. it does literally not add any value to the thread and only drags it down into more degeneracy. talk and discuss all you want but just fucking stop namefagging already.

How about just having medkits temporarily raise you to 500 health? After, lets say, 5 seconds, itll go back to your original health after using it? Then it would make medics more useful and reward better positioning(better positioning= less health lost)

he also needs to stop fucking green texting fucking everypost in a bloody forum format

...

How long have you been here?

Stop namefagging you faggot. It's just as bad as the cancer that's the 4am threads.

you mean on the site, in the thread or playing the game?

using the chans man

I didn't read half his post anyways, I see what you're saying. I think he just needs to stop at this point.

since I was 16, you know how it was moved with the first exodus from 4chan

stop and shallow a load of lead from the business end of a shotgun I'd say

Wait, he's nicedaemonette?
Well he can fuck right the fuck off then.

...

Also lagswitches fixed when? currently people time out after 5 minutes of not answering the server at all which means lagswitchers can do pretty much anything they want and there is no valid reason to have a time out longer than 2 seconds or so in a game.
Embed related, i meet lagswitchers constantly every day

I think a lot of things need a cool-down in this game.

Med-kits I could see, but what else?
MAXes and Vehicles technically have Nanite Cost to limit their use, and Vehicles DID have a spawn cool-down that was thankfully removed.

Frankly, in a game with class based gameplay and mixed unit tactics there shouldn't be medkits at all. There are medics for that.
It'd be like a MBT that could resupply its own ammo.

Medkits, yes. Maybe not a lot of things, but I would also say a slight delay between resupplying at a terminal (or at least don't let it recharge your shields, that NC slaughter webm was just embarassing).

Also quit namefagging ya daft cunt

This. Medkits just make teamwork pointless and cause people to lone wolf it. VS are full of tryhard shitters who never play medic because there's medkits.

Also gotta agree with this.

I wish they'd implement a simple fix: If you lag more than 2 seconds, nothing you do on your end gets validated. You'd need to establish a stable connection for at least 2 seconds for your actions to start validating again.
No kicking, and the lagswitchers would be dealt with. Also you'd get TPd to your last stable position.

Eh, it has it's place, you are giving up your C4 for it after all…
The PROBLEM is that it's outright the BEST form of healing, instantly refilling your health and giving a small invulnerability window to do so.
It SHOULD only partial Insta-Heal you with EACH kit, essentially allowing a Lone Wolf to get back INTO a fight faster but not into a one man army.

Oh that actually use to be WAY worse, Resupplying at a Terminal outright refreshed your Shields AND Health.

What the fuck. I guess that explains how my PC BSOD'd in the middle of a firefight, I got up to put on a pot of coffee, came back, rebooted, launched the game, and was still in the squad when I rejoined. I thought something had just broken.

I play on an unstable internet with all the storms this season, a 2 second time out would have me rebooting every half hour. 5 minutes is too much but 2 seconds is far too little.

Don't you often get told that you write like a huge faggot?

I'd suggest 30 seconds, though even that little is enough for a lagswitcher to do some serious damage in some situations, like placing mines/C4 or doing mass shotgun kills in stalemate areas like biolabs

Stop namefagging.

Even if he stopped we would still notice his faggotry, he's got at least two identity markers in his writing pattern.

Yes, this is nothing new.

Plus this board assigns User IDs anyways, so everyone has their own tripcode.

IDs are renewed each thread you cock muncher, that's not how it works

why are you still here?
you are a normalshit and no one here wants you except the other redditors

you can tell because you are responding to half the thread and people only care so far as to call you a faggot

Because I want to discuss Planetside in light of the closing, am permabanned from 4chan, and the pace here is way faster than Holla Forums /tg/.

Go away.

Not even cuckchan wants you

Why do the fags bother with hacks then if lagswitch ends up giving far superior results? I really can't see anything surviving five minutes

I don't know about five minutes, I get internet loss everyday at the same time, and it goes off and comes back multiple times in a row with a few minutes of downtime at most and I lose connection with the servers.

...

More that I just don't want to go though the effort…
I mean, that basically legitimizes any argument that I actually am a "blight" upon a board, right?

You're a blight on this one, m8

No more than anyone else here.

said the namefag from halfchan that tries to reply to every single fucking post in the thread

Gotta give a (you) to everyone, right? Isn't that how it works guys? guys?

Nah, I was just raised on forum etiquette, where if you don't quote what you are responding to, people will scream about you not making any sense.

why don't you fuck off back to one then instead of being on a image board

…Have you BEEN to the Planetside 2 Forums?

No but you sound like you'll fit right in.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

^

Oh, so you've taken your ideas on Medkit balance to Reddit and/or Twitter?
Because that's the only other (and unfortunately preferred) method of getting in touch with the Developers…

I flipped my harasser a lot more before I learned you can control it in mid-air. Still flip it, of course. The natural state of the harasser is on its back. The physics in this game are pretty fucky.

Stop with the namefagging, simple.

Actually, his stats are mediocre at best.

One thing I'm sure of, nobody EVER hackusated Delrith.
I personally do not think he cheated on PS2, because I kicked his ass myself.

Is this guy in our outfit? If he Is he NEEDS to be banned

OFFICERS WE HAVE A PROBLEM

Give proofs plz

i knew i recognized the name from somewhere

what a homo

You goys are crashing this outfit, with no survivors.

Two normalfags and a namefag, all in the span of three days.

I SAID TO SHUT IT DOWN

NO ONE LISTENED AND NOW IT'S TOO LATE THE FLOOD GATES ARE OPEN PREPARE TO GET CULTURALLY ENRICHED TO DEATH

Supreme faggot isn't in the outfit. He just moved from cuckchan because everyone hated his ass.

We were just playing. He said
BUILD THE FIREWALL
BUILD IT TALL
LET NO NORMALFAG IN OUR HALL

listen here you fucking whiny faggots, when you're jumpjetting you are easier to hit because you're moving at a set speed along a very predictable route meanwhile people on the ground can zigzag sprint/stop sprinting etc

REMOVE
NORMALFAG
NOW

He could just be shitposting. How the fuck would he got in anyway? He seems pretty cool from what I played with him.

If he starts with fagotry kick him. Otherwise who gives a shit.

just make it so that you're not allowed to join if you don't first make a post with your account name in the thread

and also take the TR pledge

Even one normalfag poisons the outfit. Look at Europe today.

He was serious.
Someone might have fucked up applications, reddit has been mentioning us lately as well. Could have picked up the secret code.

Last thread two normalfags tried the same thing you proposed.

Do we have a skinwalker as an officer? Would explain why someone who has no idea what this site is managed to get in, cause 's excuse of reddit adquiring the "sekrit code" seems far fetched with how incompetent they usually are.

Seems he joined June 10th.

Looking at his friends list, it's VS/NC kdwhores or very low KD literal who's. He's also only BR40 after being in the outfit for three weeks? He's an outsider.

Making a new thread.

well, he uses Holla Forums sortoff. maybe the webm will cure you

fuck, sorry for no spoiler

How do you know he browsed /cuteboys/?

NEW THREAD HERE!

he told us several times

Is he a trap? Will he share pics?

why do you ask user?

Because I want to make him beg for my thick, throbbing prowler to deploy in his ammo sundy.

I got in with that

daily reminder c4 fairies are best assault not actually the best just cooler

I started certing out my harasser and playing around with it. It's pretty fun.
I'm thinking of maxing out vehicle stealth to flank/surprise enemy vehicles more effectively, as composite armor is tempting but I'm not sure how effective that 8% will be, then again, it would save my arse in those very, very close scrapes. Any suggestions?
Except whenever I manage to get one of you in the gunner I get really anxious that you'll get bored and leave, or even worse, you'll get bored and stay.
