I don't understand why people who die to grenades continue to stand near enemy resupply terminals. The grenades will only stop when people can't restock, you guys!

Oh hey the Baron's finally on sale? How is it? I used it a bit with Slugs on PTS when testing directives but haven't really bothered with it much since. Seems decent for a shotgun but the tube magazine is worrisome.

9 times out of 10 when I get killed by a shotgun shitter, it's with a Baron. So I guess it's okay?

Oh hey, so why do Sticky Grenades feel like they're better at doing damage than Frags? The control is probably part of it, but another aspect seems to be that they just are better:



Almost twice the lethal blast radius! Also, AV grenades are worse at kills but better at doing damage to a larger area due to a larger blast radius. So that's neat to know.

This was an amazingly prophetic thing to say. Right now it is only by sheer force of will that I'm getting 1 Mercenary kill per 3 Sticky Grenade kills. ONE OR TWO FRIENDLIES MAY HAVE DIED IN THE PROCESS

Awesome, I've started looking forward to TR night. Sundies supporting AOD and AJA print certs like nothing I've seen before.

If you're a new dude playing on K0TH night (or on TR in general) I cannot recommend Engineer highly enough. Pull a sundy to every base, and drop ammo packs. You've got zero competition from other TR engineers because the TR doesn't field more than a handful of them across an entire continent. It's better certs than almost anything else I've found in this game

This is why you always use 2 AV grenades (or get an infil buddy to throw an EMP first)

With how soundboards work and virtual cable or whatever that program is, shouldn't it in theory be possible to always make recursion play through your mic?

Basically: Can I set recursion to yell MONSTER KILL into mumble whenever I get a sick nasty streak so I wont have to bother doing it myself?

Also last night during a TR/NC indar ex fight for 20 minutes there was NOT A SINGLE AMMO PACK. Literally the entire tower and both points had no ammo, the only packs were by the NC spawn sundies.

Mott Hogby is reporting that it's been 4-5 days since they last had a report of directives resetting. Apparently whatever it was the Friday patch solved it.

I remember when the trading channel (I think :corsair: ) in World of Warcraft went global for the first time. It was completely unusable because people kept making GBS threads it up for no reason. I assume that, years later, this is still true.

So SOE has put Hyper Boosts on the market for the next week or so. They're pretty pricey but they're 1 or 3 day 100% exp boosts (normal are 50%)

I did this once with a WDS hyper boost on a double exp weekend with auraxium membership, and the results were about what you can expect. I think I got 3700xp for a single Liberator kill. If you're a newer player and have the 300/700SC to pony up and really need some certs, I'd STRONGLY recommend picking one up for the next double exp weekend.

Is it flying over them? Anytime you're shooting a firearm up an incline, you have to aim lower than you would shooting at a target on roughly even ground with you. At least you would have to in real life, I assume the same would be true in PS2. Unless you're VS, no bullet drop OP!
