The Gauss SAW is like a MCG that doesn't have to spin up to become insanely deadly. Other than that, not really.

I didn't take a screenshot 'cause I'm not a huge dork but doing the same I had ~113,000 SPH after about an hour and a half. I do run boosts and membership though so that skews the poo poo out of it.

Yeah, when they gave the free month membership I didn't resub for a few months after and got the second tier of membership. Then I resubbed again months after that and got the third tier. Resubbed this month and back to tier 1. Of course the Leal curse strikes again, seems my motherboard just went out so I wont even be able to enjoy the double xp coming up

If we all just gave in and joined TR we'd probably win things for everybody just on the weight of goon presence alone. Then we would finally become The Enclave, and suffer a grim moment of realization that we are the monster we once fought against. But we'd have the TORQ and MCG, so we'd be able to live with that.

During double XP weekend when fighting PHX I just used a lasher and was earning over 100k SPH, so it definitely is. Also, don't forget, anyone who got Alpha Squad on release when you make a new character you'll have a 300-ish day boost.

#firstworldproblems, but the gold textures aren't showing up on the NC gold pistol, so I posted a bug thread. Since I know a great many goons were blessed by Higby with the gold starter pistols, I figured I'd point this out to everyone. You NC goons are getting cheated of your beautiful shiny pistol by a texture error that for some reason nobody has bothered to report! If you don't believe me, log in to your TR/VS characters and marvel at the shiny reflective gold on the Beamer/Repeater-FB. Every spot on the Mag-Shot FB that's plain white is supposed to be gold.

I reported this as well, but I kinda like the look of it. On my graphics settings it looks kinda like a platinum variant, which is a bit less swagalicious mcdopesauce but is sleek as hell. That said I'd love for it it to be gold to go with my Cyclone-G and Phoneix AE swagtastic loadout

It looks like a platinum variant, but that white is actually the null texture. Set your graphics to Medium/High temporarily and you can really see a difference in the appearance of gold/platinum weapons vs. ones where the texture is missing.

Gonkish posted:I may be in the minority here, but I really don't want them to change tanks to a three person crew like they were in PS1. I like being able to drive the thing AND shoot the gun. If I was just a driver I'd be bored as gently caress. I'm kinda glad the Magrider is holding that back. Hopefully not the minority. They were boring as poo poo to drive in PS1 and they'd be even worse here because of how vulnerable tanks are if their rear armor is exposed, and thus how relatively immobile they tend to be. That said, switching seats in PS2 is way easier than PS1, so I'm guessing most people would say gently caress it and just drive without gunners and simply switch to the main guns when they need to. Your tank would be less effective but at least you wouldn't be a glorified taxi driver.

On monday i made 900 certs in 4 hours then i restarted my client and made 300 certs in 1 hour. On tuseday i made 600 certs in 1 hour so yeah membership+heroic boost means certs out the rear end. I just save my 500 SC a month and buy the 3 month heroic boosts with that when their on sale--if theres ever another SC sale gonna throw enough $ to buy atleast 1 6 month heroic boost.

Wasn't that due to having a spawn repair sunderer lodged in a gun tower or something perma-fixing the turrets? AMS/squad spawn ribbons means being the lucky guy having one up at a clusterfuck means afk certs forever.

Erata posted:People interested in trying out a new empire should remember that next week is another double XP weekend. quote:Plenty of people stack boosts and on top of alerts, it's easy to pull thousands of certs even without a subscription. Nthing that thousands is correct. I've never subscribed, all you need is to burn some of those random 1-day boosts that you got from WDS rewards or from random bundles. Double XP also doubles the boost's effectiveness. Just remember to make the most of it, i.e. abstain from Skyguarding, platoon leading, stalker-cloaking, and other low-XP activities.

I didn't get a screenshot of the scoreboard, but note the certs, time played, score/hour. Was running a big boost, membership, and running with GOKU, most of whom also provide boosts. My cert ticker was filling up at nearly 1 cert/second at times.

And hell, even if you're not doing Steve's mythical Cairn Station repair/AMS, those are still big fuckin' certs nowadays between increased spawn xp and ribbons. I've had many times where I deploy a Sundy and just hang around it looking out for LA/engy bombers and swatting the occasional incursion with the Bulldog and made more certs from just dicking about like that than I would have from actively going all out infantry or tanks sperg.

I wouldn't be surprised. There was tons of PS1 fanfic floating around, some of it was halfway decent. Mark Brouhard posted:Westy do you know anything about how NC is adapting to the waterson merge. Like I'm used to demolishing them whenever I'm playing with GOKU, its business as usual but I'm wondering if there are any diamonds in the rough I should keep an eye out and roll with whenever I feel like playing NC. I got TROSS/Gauss SAW fever baby. I don't play with them, so I wouldn't know. Sorry! As far as playing against them, VCO has always been my go-to recommendation. PHX has people around but sheer number of mans with NC wasn't ever really a problem, it's more of a problem with TR. Some of the larger TR outfits tend to back away with fights from the VS more than NC do, so they're really the ones facing population hardships in my experience. BAX seems pretty good but they are short on numbers. TIW is a literal farmfit, I wasn't impressed fighting them after hearing they were "the best NC has to offer competitively."  AuxiliaryPatroller posted:I made 994 certs in one hour last double xp weekend by parking a repair/AMS Sundy in a tower under attack, and doing a decent job of shooting mans. I have a screenshot in the GOKU thread showing it (phone posting or I would link it). Thousands in a single day or a few hours is entirely possible. I remember when we locked Hossin one night, between everything I was getting 634 a kill. So naturally I used the high damage weapon VS gets to steal all the kills.

Alarms bleeped at him from all directions and warm hydraulic fluid spilled down the outside of his leg, staining the snow beneath his feet. His chest still heaved from the punches of the shotgun pellets, but luckily the last shot had only smashed his visor and no more; his body was just bruised and stinging under four inches of solid steel.
