Apparently the bundle now says "Heroic Boosts will become account wide after the anniversary sale bundle ends. Date TBD"

Guess whatever system they had set up to grant it to all characters on the account didn't work. Goddamnit SOE, oh well I'm going to jump on this when I get home to find the best combination of obscenely garish camos to combine with the golden hologram armor the NC get. It just kind of blends in to Shatter :(

Well good to know my heroic boost will be expired by the time that sale ends. :soe:

So the NC one blends in with Shatter and the Vanu one blends in with Tech. It's like they did it on purpose to not allow us to make the most garishly colored spacemans possible.

Wait, the boost doesn't act like every other boost where it just sits in your inventory until you activate it?

I posted that comedy image of the Vanu grenade's collision mesh on reddit ugh and an SOE designer came in and said that's not the mesh. Someone else re-extracted the NC grenade's collision mesh of the newest build and it's just as beachball sized as before.

Turns out that some time back they tightened up the VS grenade's collision mesh but forgot to do the other two factions :psyduck:, so either the TR and NC grenade's collisions are about to get buffed or the VS grenade's collision is about to get nerfed lmao

&gt; As of today the Planetside 2 Anniversary bundle is available for in game. The bundle is packed with special edition, limited-time items to celebrate Planetside 2 turning hitting the 2-year mark, unique armor, weapon skins, camos, decals AND a 6-month heroic boost. Best of all, all these items are unlocked for every character on your account...
&gt;
&gt; Currently, the 6-month Heroic Boost is not unlocking on all characters due to an issue with the way our account-wide items are handled. We have a fix for the issues we ran into, however we want to give it some testing time and not patch right before the weekend, so our plan is to patch sometime early next week. After this fix everyone who purchases the Anniversary bundle will unlock the boost on all of their characters at the time of purchase. Anyone who purchases the Anniversary bundle before this fix is deployed will be granted the boosts on all of their characters then as well. You do not need to submit a CS ticket to inquire about this or get the boost on your other characters, you will receive it automatically when the fix is live and CS will not be able to help with the issue until the fix is live. Sorry for the temporary inconvenience, but due to the nature of the bug, we can't release the fix without giving it some additional testing time.

As always, thanks for playing, and Happy 2-year Anniversary!

- Higby

Cool, looks like they've got it pinned down, just don't want to deploy it before the weekend. Will be buying this when I get home tonight in anticipating of receiving 2x more boosts when it is automatically granted with the fix patch

You're getting confused. The boost is just a normal heroic boost that's added to your inventory. The bundle was supposed to grant a boost to every character on your account. We assumed that would happen at the time of purchase, but it doesn't, so they'll be granting the other boosts SOON(tm). I think Renounced meant his current boost will be expired before he gets the replacement he was expecting. Meanwhile I'm sitting here with an unused heroic from last year on my original NC character that I never play and the CS reps refuse to juggle it to another character for me.

Hey guys, GOON has a match coming up on Sunday @4pm EST with 252v to test out a possible format for an upcoming Vehicleside ArmorSmash. It's 24v24 and it's looking like we'll have 5-7 open spots.

Would any of you non-GOON goons be interested in joining in to help get this thing going? I know there's quite a few unaffiliated and whatnot and i'd much prefer other goons to pubbies to fill the roster. It covers all manner of vehicles, though I'm not sure which faction we'll get. Respond, send me a PM, or hit me up in game/on steam if you're interested! Steam name is the same as on here, should be a fried chicken head as the avatar.

I wish it were a joke, but:

Your image shows the NC grenade instead of the VS as pictured above, and opening that collision up I see you are right. I checked the TR too, and the same is true. These are very old assets, and I did not set them up, so before I change it I will confirm with code that this was not done intentionally. If it was, then VS grenades may be seeing a collision nurf. If not then I'll go ahead and tighten the collision up for TR and NC. Good catch, thanks. I'll let you guys know when I do.

As stated above, it will just sit in inventory screen until activated. I just activated mine on my main dude to see if it was just some :soe: fuckery that made it slot into all characters when actually activated despite it not saying that in the description.

But I should know better. Dealing with :soe: and what they might be thinking is like the pigeon in a box experiment.

Today's your lucky day, the Lynx (TR) and GD7F (NC) are on sale and are freakishly good weapons. I can't speak for the vanu.

VX6-7 is solid since it's way more expensive with certs and is super useful for LA too.

Counter-opinion: the GD-7F is highly overrated. It has one of the worst uptimes of an infantry weapon in the game and no real benefits beyond the mythical 'good DPS'. Aside from maybe the Gauss Compact Burst it's the worst NC carbine.
