jneer posted:The idea that HA is considered an honorabru class in this game is funny because it exposes these so-called competitive players as people who either haven't played or couldn't cut it in actual competitive games like CS or even CoD and BF. The other day I clicked on harvester's stream on the planetside list because nobody I like was streaming. He was playing BF4 instead and getting owned over and over and over and whining about how the game is poo poo. It was wonderful.

Fans posted:Well unless you're using the Orion and Betelguese, which are doing noticeably worse now. Exactly - VS guns punish the player harder than any other for missing shots. I mean the bottom line of players, not guns. The 0.8 kd players will feel a little less jipped with things like 0.75x ADS LMGs removed and heavy shields that aren't tons of extra HP. The Orion seems nice but people still want to cheese with it. People who were good didn't need the extra ADS move speed to dunk people.

Reminder carv was and still is an orion with 50 extra rounds. The mistake was adding .75 ADS to an LMG with this horrible net code. The VS trait should have always been the best moving CoF.

I don't think the alternative to making a gun move faster considering poor net code is to make the guns more accurate while the game is having difficulty tracking you Anyway the Carnage is just a superior Orion and you don't see the min/maxers running to it. HA hasn't been about the guns since the screenshake fix. Hopefully they follow through with this nerf and don't wimp out, buff them instead, then nerf engie like last time Moving CoF is too important to be factional in this game, at least not unless some sort of perk is introduced to make standing still less of a death sentence

The only time I notice the netcode making GBS threads itself is when like 300 players pile into the same base, even then you can still kill dudes, they just render like 15 feet in front of you and medkits stop working This has been happening a lot less lately though (bc the game is dying lol)

If your launcher is borked or the game is failing to connect the word on Reddit is DBG is apparently being DDOS'd by someone mad at H1Z1.

*googles* Well that's stupid of them. Moron: *Harasses Smedley* Smedley: "I'm taking you to court for harassment." Other Morons: "Let's harass him and his company and brag about it publicly!" Edit: Yea, Lizard Squad is taking credit. They claim it's retaliation for John Smedley (CEO of Daybreak) publicly declaring his intent to take Julius Kivimaki to civil court for the above mentioned harassment. Julius, a 17y/o Finland citizen, racked up over 50,000 various crimes including tax-fraud, SWATING, CC Fraud, ID Theft, bomb-threat to plane John was on, etc... He just came out of court with a 2 year suspended sentence and an order to 'fight against cybercrime'. Even he seems to think this is a non-punishment.

Until the international community can agree on some sort of RAINBOW 6 for douchebag hax0rz they can usually hide behind the red tape of international law. I think the kid who called the bomb threat into the airlines got arrested though didn't he? Didn't Smed have to fly to Europe to testify in court or something? Been awhile..

NihilCredo posted:I know that particular battle has been lost for decades, but drat it still bothers me seeing a literal script kiddie get called "hacker". I mean you can hack if you have basic scripting knowledge, the distinction seems really meaningless. If some dude register a blackhole website and can drive idiots to get owned, they can have 0 skills other than how to set up a webpage and spam template and can infect hundreds of idiots who click poo poo in their email. At that point they steal money or credentials. I mean that's pretty much hacking, and no skills required. The script kiddie no longer exists, they are botherders and thats pretty legit in terms of being a hacker. I mean if you have tens of thousands of zombies, at what point is it not like "lmao script kiddie, cant REALLY hack".. seems pointless. The idea that you have to be able to write 0 day sploits to own something is less and less relevant. You can breach systems with simple effort, no specialized knowledge required. Why have a distinction.

As for the idea that fancy and awesome 0-day exploits are "less and less relevant" in the mid-2010s era of phishing and DDOSes - one word: Stuxnet.

Engie: Does nothing but rep the farm of tanks raining hell on an enemy position. Resulting in more damage and enemy deaths than any 3 HA zerglings. K/D: 0/1, but he did a better job than that 1/1 guy who just rush-rush-rushed. Infil: Did nothing but spam recon darts, sucking reloads off that engy's ammo pack. Vastly improving the information the guys in the thick of it have to work with. K/D 0/1, but she made all those zergers 2 or 3 times more effective than without that dart-spam. Medic: Rezes that infil who just got plinked by a sniper. Just rezzes people who get picked off doing support rolls in the tank-farm. K/D: 0/1, but drat, this place is running pretty well when the support staff isn't asleeps in some bloods. Light Assault: Spent 3 minutes sneaking into a wierd corner of the battle-field to drop a beacon. Didn't fire a shot because that would attract attention, get's podded by the first person to drop in. K/D: 0/1, but the enemy team has a whole new front to deal with. Galaxy Pilot: Just keeps filling up with pubbies from a nearby not-so-hot zone and fly-by dropping them into the thick of it. A whole 'nuther set of problems for the enemy. K/D: 0/0 Wierdly, there was almost no anti-air from the enemy. Another Infil: Stalker-cloaked, just snuck around hacking turrets and terminals. K/D:0/1, and that gal-pilot is kinda confused. Another Engie: Sits in the back of a harasser, eating popcorn with one hand and repping it with the other. K/D 0/1, the gunner and driver rack up far more kills than without constant healing, circling the battlefield, blowing up incoming tanks, and ramping off random terrain.

Get the gently caress out of my harasser backseat and go do something useful. Backseat repairs from Harasser are only for if we're literally on fire. Healing a harasser when you stop takes about two seconds, the only useful purpose someone permanently in the backseat serves is to eat a tank shell for us.

Go fetch a rep Sundy with walkers, provide some useful AA and spawn points at the same time. One engy will just get run over and doesn't do nearly the healing a Rep Sundy can. quote:Infil: Did nothing but spam recon darts, sucking reloads off that engy's ammo pack Recon darts are poo poo, use a motion spotter. The only people who should have a 0/1 K/D ratio are people loving over the Skygods, because it's near impossible to get actual kills on pilots doing AA (At best you'll just get the vehicle) but it is gods own work. Hell I spend my time just driving Harassers and Sunderers and still manage to keep the K/D positive and I don't even have a gun. Beep beep.

Having an AV max paired with vulcan/saron/majoogler is a tank/sunderer ruining machine, plus when they take a tank shell for you they're still alive afterwards. Plus the driver gets to pull sick drifts to turn the max at enemy armor.

At least it isn't an engy though and it doesn't confuse who the gunner is. They did say they wanted to make the backseat a 360 view and I really hope that happens sometimes.  360 No scope Pounder/Vulcan combo of death

A Walker Harasser with a Burster MAX in the backseat is 2x as effective as a skyguard as long as you can keep the MAX pointed at the air.
