This is my favorite /yell ever. "GIVE US THE ORION!!!"
"OK" reply all the VS. "HAVE.. HAVE IT." "R.REALLY. NO . NO FOOLIN. I MEAN. YES. .. WHAT? .. "

Sure, the Orion is pretty ok in close range ADS + ADAD if I'm remembering the gun right, but god help you in other situations or against shotguns.

that's a sign that the orion might be too good

but you can't just nerf the orion and give the VS nothing, why not make guns other than the orion worth using? That's what balance means :shepface:

Going a few pages back but


This made me check out your Cert Viewer page because if you have been in BR100 autist infinite-cert land for so long yet had never bought something as basic, cheap, and fun as the Lightning AP then I shuddered to think of what other stuff you may have skipped.

So, allow me to help you. Please proceed to immediately purchase/max out the following:

- Flash Wraith
- Flash Renegade
- Sunderer Walker (at least one)
- Viper thermal optics
- Lightning Stealth and/or side armour
- Vanguard Walker
- Lolpod thermals nevermind forget I said anything
- Shredder thermals + magsize + ammo
- Dalton magsize
- Harasser Fire Supp and Stealth
- Harasser Bulldog
- Baron
- Regular versions of various gold/plat etc. weapons for Directive purposes

That should at least put a dent in your stockpile. Have fun.

I didn't have the AP Lightning not because I was unaware of how much the VS seem to adore it (despite how much it confused me - the Magrider shares velocity/drop exactly with the Lightning main cannons tier-for-tier), it's just that for AP work I've got the much, much, much better and more fun Vanguard. It's just...never been a desire of mine because it felt unnecessary. As for the list:

Wraith - got it
Renegade - eh, I like the Kobalt or Fury
Sundy Walker - I think I do? Certainly going to get them for AA duty now
Lightning stealth/armor - got it
Vanguard Walker means not equipping the Enforcer which is...a strange thing to think
Liberator I have kitted out specifically for trees because I hate the Lib
Got both of those on the Harasser
Bulldog too I'm pretty sure (I only run C85 obv)
Baron got it, enjoy it
Got pretty much all weapons too

I found a way to spend it, I'm happy now.

No one can complain about the LMG's they are all very well balanced the only real problem is just a few guns over performing or under performing. Theres also a few redundant guns like the VX6/serpent, TAR/TRV, ursa/flare, and a few others i dont remember. Better to give each gun its own niche beyond 'ones 1000 certs the other is 250 certs!'.

That was probably me. I chased after a Canrasser last night in an attempt to catch a ride. I believe I killed Maddot until the driver killed me, but I can't remember well because OH loving CHRIST I'VE BEEN WORKING 16 HOUR DAYS EVER DAY NOW FOR A WEEK.

My personal experience/opinion on this is that the turret makes all the difference. It is much easier to lead a target when you don't need to turn the whole tank, and the lightning's speed + AP cannon lets you do hit and run attacks and snap shots much easier.

I really think they'd have been better off having two types of resources - one for infantry and one for vehicles (including MAXes.) Then you can tune the infantry consumable spam independently from the vehicle and crutch-suit spam.

In other news, AP prowlers are absolute cert printers now that everyone is chain pulling everything.

Connery is drowning in MBTs at every single fight, it's disgusting. At least on Emerald all the poo poo being pulled is getting constantly churned back into certs by other factions, on Connery it's just going to rot.

Suicide a Viper Lightning into it. Use the cannon to take the shield down then tank mine it.

Gotta say that shield is real fuckin handy for defending again lone wolves. Not too effective against AP/Enforcer Vanguards though :black101:

I was fighting on esamir earlier today and it was pretty sweet being able to pull the poo poo out of MAXes and not worry about grenades/C4 since I don't use pussy airplanes or vehicles. THe only problem, I think, is that I can't stockpile C4 and grenades and stuff. It's not all bad since I got more nanites than I know what to do with, but still.

TR seemed pretty out of it today. Wonder what's going on? VS on the other hand seem to have 50% pop on all continents.

Also, I hate myself now for grabbing the Impetus. Very low projectile speed, massive recoil, generally not good for the ranges it should be used at like the Warden is. Seems like bullets don't register half the time, and the drop is so bad it makes hitting anything that needs a 3.4x scope a chore. Far cry from the beefed up Warden that VR lead me to believe. Should have got the shadow. And now I find out that the directives doesn't file the Impetus in the scout rifle category but the sniper one (didn't even know there was a scout rifle category). Would have saved a few hundred certs to blow on upgrading other stuff instead.

Now to wait until the NS Vandal goes on sale as well.

Entirely up to you, it's good both ways. I've always used it as an ADS headshot machine, but with a laser it's pretty good too.

Broose posted:

When VS roll 50% pop no one wants to fight them, so the NC dogpile on the TR, so TR either log out or swap to VS/NC. It's a pretty lame cycle because there's zero incentive to sit on the 25% world pop faction and get camped in every fight.

At least now after the resource revamp I can drop endless tank mines and claymores to harrass the zerg before I respawn into whatever decent fights I can find.

I honestly hope that Higby and SOE make sure that the 4th continent can't get capped this weekend. There was already a queue to get to any of the 3 continents tonight on a Tuesday. If we have to worry about weekend pop numbers no one will be able to log on for prime time.

"I know you've come to kill me. Shoot, coward, you're only going to kill a man."
Been having a strange issue with the game for a few patches now.

I typically get 60+ fps but whenever it dips to around 40 in big fights the screen starts to stutter as if it were sub 20 fps.

I'm using Vonics .ini

4770k @ 4.5, 770 gtx, 8 gigs ram.

No idea why the game is doing it. I've attempted to enable smoothing to no avail.
