I want to play planetside with people but i am euro. Is this going to result in: a) Horrific lag meaning I can't hit anything b) Horrific lag meaning other people rage because they can't hit me c) Nobody being around when I'm about to play or d) all of the above?

I always laugh a bit when euro's ask about playing US servers. I am on the west coast US but I usually have a 150 to 200ms ping to Emerald, it is perfectly playable. Most Euro players have a better connection than I do.

I usually average around 160ms and as long as I don't end up face to face with someone ADADing like crazy or get a drop in performance the hitdetection is pretty ok. I do get the occasional lagspikes, but otherwise it plays fine on Emerald.

As a Euro maining on US west, can confirm that running with 150+ ping really doesn't affect much in this game, go on whatever server the people you want to pay with are on.

You'll get about 150-200ms which is totally fine. Evilreaver posted:GODSAW trip report: Disappointing. I was doing better with the Anchor.

As someone on the US West Coast, the difference between Connery and Emerald is noticeable, but most Euros probably do have better pings on Emerald than I do, and 150ms is entirely playable. Corner games and shooting at moving targets are the only things that feel weird compared to Connery, and I kill trade a little more often. Semi-relatedly, I was quite  about not getting the crazy ping spikes people were experiencing the past few days... right up until my ping spiked at a jaw-dropping 18000ms tonight. That is not a typo. 18000ms. That's 18 seconds. For a good minute and a half, the minimap was a slideshow, people were running through the air, sounds were noticeably delayed by an absolutely surreal amount. It dropped down to a more reasonable 3000ms for another minute or so and then to 300 and then my normal 150-ish.

I'm not sure how often anyone else gets this bug, but when I'm using the shield dong, I'll be unable to switch to it or equip it. I have no idea what causes it, but the only fix appears to be re-logging. Edit: It was completely unselectable until I went to a terminal and selected infantry, dropped an ammo box, and switched back to medic.  I have no clue. Also the sunderers now launch occupants out of it with startling frequency lmao. Erata fucked around with this message at 10:05 on Aug 10, 2014 |

Playing with 135 ping from Northern Europe. Only noticeable thing is getting killed second after getting to cover. It's especially annoying if I have been still and start to sprint and then get killed, you just know people's shots are connecting with my hitbox that still hasn't moved. Not all that bad still to be honest. I created my first TR character yesterday and pubbed in an AOD platoon. It was funny, because it was like playing space WW2 Russians, winning by clogging the enemies gun barrels with bodies

BUT YOU SEE VS GUNS ARE FINE BECAUSE BULLET DROP IS A DIFFICULT THING TO COMPENSATE FOR. Seriously, though, transparency is a good thing here. Get the stat nerds to look at all the guns, and whenever someone spouts some bullshit you hit them over the head with stats and tell them to shut the gently caress up. Not that forumside will stop being stupid, but gently caress them.

On that note the Sunderer shield is freaking great for hunting Liberators, normally I try to drive to some armor support or into a building to avoid the certain doom they bring to my Sunderer (nerf the tank buster), yesterday I got caught out in the open and instead of running I just deployed and jumped into the walker gun seat, I killed it on its second pass and only took two ticks of damage...though naturally when I got out to repair I was launched into some rocks and died.

It was the only sundy and i'd throw some some ammo packs then retreat to watch my sundy. It was a never ending stream of exp because TR of course had like 30 tanks shelling the tower and it was the only ammo sundy at the fight. This is no boosts only membership, it was loving insane and i yelled at the guy who eventually destroyed it but i needed to go to bed anyhow haha.

A workaround that I've had success with is to switch to Engineer and place a turret. The Medic dong should then function again.

In my barely conscious state before sleep, I'd like to propose a discussion topic: Which faction has the most braindead pubbies? And to that I mean of which each pubbie has the most portion of brain non-functioning and dead, not number of pubbies with dead parts of their brains. My vote is NC with TR in a close second; VS pubbies have more emotional struggles to deal with.

Just as an observation without numbers to back it up and playing like a shitter farmer for a month. PHX has the worst pubs I've ever seen, the only redeemable quality about PHX over AOD is that sometimes they have squad leads that send them to actual fights.

Sniping actually has uses and unfairly gets a bad rep. What's completely useless is being la and hiding on top of some ledge. Interestingly enough, everyone that does this is an amazing and skilled player. That being said, sniping is best on defense and the only time a sniper rifle is exceptional on offense is against engineer turrets. Otherwise, any other gun is usually better. You have to be good with the pistol and knife also since they're your only close range options. If you're a model citizen and not a traitorous whiner or sexual deviant, you'll have access to pistols that, I believe, can kill faster than most guns. So the relying on your pistol part is not that much of a drawback. Heavies and shotguns will be a little rough.

A good LA can kill more people quickly compared to a shitter Bush wookie. If you're going to infil at least use an SMG /scout rifle / no sway basr and make yourself actually useful. Anyone can kill an engineer turret without much hassle.

Horizontal Tree posted:The TAR is a pile of poo poo and I'm happy I Auraxed it first so I never have to touch it again. Just in case anyone cares, you're literally better off pulling an Armistice medic than a TAR medic in almost all cases. The TAR has better theoretical damage projection but can't actually do it due to horizontal recoil. So, unless you like to tapfire your bullet hoses, pull an armistice for the 0.75x instead.

Yeah TAR used to be the best non-SABR AR but on the infantry weapons pass for 0.75x/general balance that gave us 24 round Reapers it got hit pretty hard. Now there's no reason to use it over any of the other TR AR's
