Fart Car '97 posted:Rumble seats in the Valkyrie would be cool if Planetside 2 were a game where tactical insertion of a few people into an area mattered at all. But it's not, so who gives a poo poo what number of rumble seats it has? 1. its cool 2. tower points 3. shield gens A gal has a big "HEY WE'RE COMING" sign, a valkyrie might attract less attention. Especially with everyone wanting to pull one, there's a good chance you'll get by

Lassitude posted:That's hilarious. The thing is super frail and the rumble seat people can't hit anything at all, so why not double the number of people being dead weight in the vehicle? Hopefully at least they'll also roll out some big defensive boosts to the thing in the meantime. Either way, 4 rumble seats will make the valkyrie an amazing newbie trap/cert pinata. I dunno my dream of a flying factory that shits endless Phoenixes while being goddamn near impossible to hit with anything but Flak or small arms is coming together nicely. I saw a graphic from Vanu Labs' PTS data pull for a cert line for a rumble seat shield, was that in on test?

Four rumble seats means four people to join me in yelling "GET SOME GET SOME" to groundwalkers as we rain endless grenades and C4 on their heads while Creedence Clearwater Revival plays in the background.

Do you imagine a 6/6 valkyrie would be able to do more damage shooting phoenixes than three 2-person liberators? Or two 3-person galaxies? I'm having a hard time seeing it. Valkyries are fun to fly and their nose guns have the potential to be pretty cool, but it doesn't make any sense to me to want to use six guys to crowd into one air vehicle with a mere 2x the durability of an ESF, when you could just pull three valkyries without rumble seat guys and gently caress poo poo up with the nose guns. That said, could be fun to do just as a gimmick and it might be effective in some situations, but the big news for valkyries being their rumble seats being expanded isn't so encouraging.

I'm assuming that so far on test the Valkyrie's been useless for hovering low and taking out infantry, right? 'cause the only use I can see for it is a full squad loading up in 3-4 of them and then having them act as chopper backup for the rest of the squad, and the paper thin defense you guys mentioned sounds like it makes the Valkyrie useless for that

If the best thing it has going for it from a transport standpoint is 'less noticeable than a galaxy' then I think my case makes itself.

I'm sorry but the Valkyrie with two dudes hanging out the side like a 'Nam era Huey is just 2 cool 4 skool. Their legs better dangle freely too while a stationary ammo can in the center of all 4 of them feeds them rockets and bullets.

Man, that red dot sight thing is something that sounds tiny that's going to be huge. Huge as in, now the IRNV master race will get EVEN MORE benefit out of spamming smoke Lassitude posted:Do you imagine a 6/6 valkyrie would be able to do more damage shooting phoenixes than three 2-person liberators?

Ah yes, but you see I despise Liberators and consider them too cumbersome to be worth the cost and not worth the time required to make them worth even getting decent with them, and 2 Gals (while really fun and you only need a pilot and a gunner if the gunner is good) would be extremely expensive as well. Also, neither of those could operate without having to leave cover if required. Of course it's a gimmick! The prime things it has going for it is 1) anything that involves instagibbing HE spamming shitlords is worth it AUTOMATICALLY and 2) it's something I haven't been doing since release. I'm NC, if I'm going for maximum AV killing efficiency I'm going to pull a Battle Gal or a Vanguard. I guess AI is a thing too but it's like an ecosystem in that you've got the AP Vanguards at the top and a whole lot of HEAT/PPA Magriders and 1/2 Prowlers at the bottom so it's important to maintain balance Epic High Five fucked around with this message at 04:44 on Aug 21, 2014 |

So I'm just gonna call it now that the vehicle-Fracture is going to be absolutely amazing, but TR will cry their eyes out that it does less DPS per second than a Vulcan against rear armor at point blank in VR, so it will have to be changed. It'll be awful afterwards, and end up just like with the Cougar. Meanwhile the Enforcer will get buffed.

So if the TR's vehicle secondaries are getting their roles switched does that mean their prices will switch too? If so then it would probably be a good idea to pick up the Marauder while it's still a cheap item.

They'll just balance it the same way they balance all of TR's poo poo: they'll make it stupidly OP and Forumside will bitch that it's not the Enforcer or Saron. Honestly, at this point TR could get an actual portable nuke that wipes out every enemy on every continent instantly, deletes their account, and maxes out their credit card and they'd still bitch that it's not good enough. It's the TR way. Meanwhile: Higby pls: - My understanding is that it's ALL VS small arms that they were considering a heat mechanic for? That's what it sounded like, at least. (Reminder that that is PURELY SPECULATION.) Kinda nuts if true. Arghyside is real! - Charge weapon mechanics getting worked on so that they're not retarded? YES PLEASE. Maybe they'll make the Spiker not crap in the process! - ZOE/Lockdown/AEGIS getting a looking at. - Vulcan may be made into the Banshee.

Heat mechanics allowing VS to get absurd DPM by burst firing would pretty much fix VS guns and we'd still need ammo for maxes/rockets/NS weapons. TR/NC would still get the best DPM but a VS could theoretically never reload if he managed his burst fire well enough. Heat mechanic would make VS so loving OP because you'd be training newbies from the start to burst fire so you'd get a faction of amazing players because atleast 50% of them would learn while the rest died and joined another faction hopefully.
