Mortimer posted:Yeah but that means you have to deal with non-GOON nc players It's honestly not bad aside from Wisdomcube/Stew360. GOON gets along and works fine with BL, TAS, VCO. Though the Watterson boys don't talk much on command chat.

Epic High Five posted:I still find myself having trouble mustering up any concern about alerts, though now I'm not sure if it's alert fatigue or if it's just that my #1 prerogative of "find good fights; stay at good fights" being met means that alerts just do not even register, especially since lately they're just the same kind of mega hellzerging you got during WDS 2.0 I think Murphey, myself, and you are all exhausted of leading most of the time. It's not hard to lead. You find a decent fight, tell the platoon to go kill some butts, and yell at command chat (mostly just wisdomcube) incessantly. So easy.

Rookersh posted:So what's the new go to for Medic guns? I remember back when I played last year the general school of thought was in long range engagements the Medic should be healing not shooting, so stuff like the Carnage/Mauler was king. That still hold up? They released the TROSS and the TORQ for the NC and TR respectively. Both of these guns are absolutely absurd for longer range combat. 200 damage medics, the fun never stops.

Moxieclock1 posted:There are a few good outfits left on TR but they are all miniscule at this point and not enough bodies to win anything, If I could I'd transfer over to VS in a heartbeat but as it stands I'll probably just stop playing like a lot of TR. Just start over in NC or VS. Both of our goon outfits are great and will get your back through BR 50 in no time at all. Much better than smashing your head against the rock wall of racism that is TR.

Nakar posted:While I don't disagree with your points, the SABR does have certain tradeoffs in order to get its insane upsides. Forced burst-fire mode is one of those, and it can actually throw your aim off worse than recoil does depending on mouse sensitivity and how hard you click your mouse (some people have rough, aggressive clicks that can move their mouse pretty hard, which is easier to work into the flow of an automatic burst than a consistent clicking fest). The DPM is also "only" at NC levels, perish the thought, so you can squeeze almost an extra kill out of the Cycler. The SABR is also loving expensive (unless you were Alpha Squad or something, wasn't the SABR the AS weapon for TR Medic?) while the Cycler is loving free. Hey, the NC get several great carbines. The GD-7F and the AC-X11 are both monsters at what they do. Even if they both have trade offs in order to do so.

Nakar posted:Tross though man. gently caress people who hate that sound, it's godlike and whenever I hear it I'm like "poo poo, some rear end in a top hat around here brought a Tross." The TROSS has the strangest sound. It's not bad, but goddamn is it weird compared to just about everything else in the NC arsenal. And I can't figure out a decent way to describe the sound. It's not like the Brrrrrrrrrrrrt sound of a MCG or the unholy racket of a Gauss SAW.

Lassitude posted:PREY exemplifies the first part of that. I guess other outfits do it, but I am constantly seeing trios of PREY reavers hovering on the periphery of fights, too high up to do any real damage to with ground-to-air stuff, ganking the poo poo out of any ESF that comes by. I always thought that the game would benefit if ESFs could focus on dogfighting and didn't have to worry about AA unless they tried to shoot stuff on the ground themselves, but man, those guys just ganking the poo poo out of everything in the air with impunity must be frustrating to deal with as a mediocre pilot. Much like ground, individual skill is made much more meaningless when you have more people doing it. It doesn't how good of a pilot you are in an ESF if you are jumped by 5 enemy fighters. One tank with a skilled crew can do a lot of damage, but it sure as hell can't fight several times its number even with an expert crew. The rules apply to infantry and vehicles, people are finally figuring out that you can do the same with air. gently caress the sky gods. Meet the swarm.

Of course you're useless out on your own. ESFs have overnight, become pointless if you're by yourself. Join the swarm. GOON had a massive air swarm on Sunday night and as we were going, stray pubbie reavers decided that we looked like we knew what we were doing and decided to join in!

I've actually been saving certs for it, which is probably stupid, but the possibility that it might function well in a CAS/dropship role excites me, although I recognize the fact that is probably a longshot.

Epic High Five posted:^ ^ ^ accuracy while on the move is easy to imagine if you're guiding something by camera Exactly, camera guided rockets don't care if you're on the move while flying. And it takes away one of the crucial weaknesses of the phoenix because you're mobile when firing from a rumble seat. Alternatively, maybe we could put heavies with G2A rockets on their and just go hunting enemy air?

biglads posted:What's the recommendation for the best gun for an NC Engineer? I have the Gauss Compact S but the UBGL doesn't print certs as well as it used to so I'm looking for an alternative. As someone who has auraxed the Gauss Compact S after the UBGL nerf, it's still a good gun. You just don't use it for incessant UBGL spamming. It has an absurdly accurate 3 round burst mode and with 167 damage if you can get headshots you'll basically cause anyone you're shooting at to crumple.

Then seek therapy for all of the broken promises the carbines gave you. Maybe he's just used to the AC-X11? Get above someone and three bullets to the head and they're dead. I wish we had more guns with the 200 damage profile. Then I'd have another LMG/Carbine to use after I finish auraxing them.

Most euro goons playing Planetside today can be found in GOKU, we roll with a couple of Scandinavians and other subhuman euro-trash. Usually at least a squad full, as well with some night-shift US. With the new server merge, playing at 8-9 PM on GMT is pretty much a primetime on Emerald now. Even though I am now employed and no longer play Planetside 2 at absurd hours anymore, I have been told by others in GOON that there are 1-2 squads early in the morning most days of GOON members.

Synnr posted:Hard to tell so far, really. On emerald there are a ton of vehicles pulled (by tr and nc atleast), and the system lets people like AOD pull an endless stream of armor to lance. Not sure why NC seemed to have so much air, but eh. A sunderer whenever you want one is pretty sweet though! Definitely saw a lot more vs sunderers when it got late and my little squad was hanging around bases longer than usual, especially when I requested them in orders. NC was pulling a lot of air BEFORE the resource changes. Now it just means they're not on a cool down. And every faction (though not perhaps GOKU) is pulling way more vehicles than they used to. It's nice actually having resources even with a small amount of territory. Also, if you run out of nanites spamming AV grenades, then perhaps you should stop throwing so many?
