Those are what the artist was told to design, that's no indication that those would be final design implementations.

BBurness @BBurnessPS2 1h1 hour ago Sometime after next live update goes live, Tank Mines will be detonating on MAXs on PTS Mwahahaha, man the first day of that being live you could probably aurax AT mines in a single alert.

Chance posted:BBurness @BBurnessPS2 1h1 hour ago It'd be swell if it took less then four tank mines to kill a base turret while they are at it, wanted to kill a hacked one the other day and was surprised at how resistant they are. When I get home I may see if it takes less nanites in tank mines or AV grenades to kill one.

Next level meta strat theory: Half half of your forces very obviously pull maxes and wait in spawnroom or make a token push. Let enemies have time to dump tank mines everywhere, thinking they will dunk the max crash. Wait a bit, let enemies push up to their own mines (they will) Other half of forces launch flash/conc nades then wait a second and unleash all (ALL) of the EMP grenades. Max crash. Hell just being a stalker cloak with EMP bando could be fun with more poorly placed tank mines around indoors.

It will be good for popping the occasional bad pubbie max at a 12-24 fight. But other than that what does the tank mine do that C4 traps aren't already failing to do? Bring on the Rocklet for LA and Engineer. Move AV Grenades to LA.

So I just got done duo'ing with a friend after an alert killed all goku irl except for me. We ended up doing a lot or wraith/fury/HA vehicle hunting around mao. Why aren't wraith flash gangs ruining the game? Why is this such a rare occurrence? We had a lot of fun running up behind tanks are bothering them, and if we had just one more flash with us, we would have been decimating everything around us. Flash gangs actually seem really easy to keep up too, with how piss cheap they are on nanites. If you die, you just spawn a new one and you're back in. wtf

I love the cloaking Fury Flash and used it to reasonably good effect today, but the Flash is extremely lame to drive. Everything is faster than you, can climb better than you, and has a better view than you on top of not being in any danger of dying to blind, incidental damage. It's the extremely restricted field of view that bothers me the most.

Denzine posted:It's the extremely restricted field of view that bothers me the most. This, and the fixed vehicle FOV. The flash could definitely use a big buff to the frontal arc of its weapon/view (and making FOV the same as while you're an infantry). Still tons of fun.

The one drat time I was driving my Fury around and found a Skyguard Lightning way off on his own and though I was going to get an easy kill I got too confident and got right on his rear end and he just backed up and killed me. Maybe once the new Mad Max is out we'll see more roaming gangs of Flashes and Harassers.

I'm nearing 4000 certs as VS because I have no idea what I wanna buy. I have the Magrider and Lightning certed out to where I need them, I have the Lancer, Sirius and Ghost, C4 and mines and all that and I have air certed out a little but I never pull it.  I guess I gotta branch out. I've always gravitated to certing vehicles because even after 300 hours infantry weapons all look the same to me and I have no idea which one of the dozens of similar guns is worth buying. Vehicles are way easier to cert since MACHINE GUN and GRENADE LAUNCHER have much more of a tangible difference than Assault Rifle and Different Assault Rife. Am I missing any good infantry weapons? Maybe I should start certing out MAXes. Also what's with the Sirius never saving with loadouts? Is that a bug with the Sirius specifically or all SMGs? Mine goes to the default gun on every class and I have to change it every time I play.

Sundies are crazy fun if you get a couple gunners. Kobalts are dirt cheap, furys are solid all around guns, mix with blockade armor and go to town. Pulsar c rules for long range engineer, terminus for medic.

If you play with people regularly get a harasser certed out, they are crazy cheap and very effective at doing anything pretty much, scrapper chassis, stealth/composite and on top a fury for AI work or a saron for AV or a halberd for everything at once. Harassers are magical and i would spend more time getting them into interesting places if i wasnt terminally addicted to infantry kills. There is a bug floating around about loadouts not saving, i think it may be sirius specific as my SMG loadouts save properly, or its loadout slot specific or possibly just you specific, bugs get really creative in planetside.

Worse than DAPP but maybe as good as AOD, GOKU's reputation is improving among the masses. V V First I've seen of her in yell. Do scripts even exist in this game? I have a looping macro that shuffles me around when I'm afk so I don't get logged out but I'm having trouble thinking what kind of scripts people think others are running that give them an edge. Unless Mumble crosshair overlay is considered a script. Klowns fucked around with this message at 17:28 on May 12, 2015 |

It shows 5 seconds between the kills but I got the notification after just a couple seconds. I'd been chasing Mustarde around a building for a bit and there weren't any lag issues with recursion tonight and I can't figure out what happened.

Did you cert the ALS again when they changed it to be one 200 cert attachment instead of 2x100 certs? That's a very reliable loadout bug if you have the old ALS or AFG on guns.
