*** Official Planetside 2 Thread ***

Just unlocked the upgraded sniper rifle, loving it!

They fixed a bug where you could use aircraft, now they just fall out of the sky and blow up without you in them! Fantastico!
 
The bugs in this game are so freaking random and annoying I swear there has to be someone in the SOE offices playing tricks, creating these bugs on purpose.

What else would you want them to say? the game did take a massive step back after last weeks patch in terms of bugs - once you post your initial 'wow I love it' or 'wow I hate it' and have made a post about a cool battle you had or what you think about such and such a gun/vehicle, you're now getting into the realm of becoming more aware of some of the nasty bugs present and how they detract from the gameplay... something else to post about no?

Anyway give it 4 weeks I'm pretty sure people are going to be whining about a couple of these same bugs when it is no longer a beta.

Im going to start having a go at people praising the game.

"Awesome battle last night."

Oh my God its only beta for petes sake, they may break it before launch noob.

Personally, i think either approach is pointless. Why dont we discuss and update on the game in this game discussion thread, good and bad eh?
 
Hey guys, just downloaded this,
I open the game, chose my race, and then what? I can click on a server but the next button doesn't highlight. Are all the servers down or something?
 
Let me know if there is a new patch, im at work. The crashes that were introduced two patches ago are getting annoying so im hoping for a fix.

I intensely dislike the weakened AA, its completely pointless being a max with one burster now as you cant take down even half a fighter in one pass. Once theres two or three up its really ineffective. Trying to protect a sunderer last night and just had them come in, shoot it up, then fly away whilst i was reloading by which time another had taken its place. Used to be, theyd register the hits and start trying to evade but why bother now. Im half thinking about getting that second burster but given their reduced effectiveness ive got a lot of other stuff to get first.

Anyone know how effective the nanite armor tiers are? Cant say ive been greatly impressed to date and the MCG wind up (compared to everyone elses instant) fire is... winding me up. Next tier for my heavy is 78 certs or thereabouts and wondering if its worth it.

Next purchase is the lock-on AT launcher, whatever its called. After that im eyeing hellfire missiles but flying with a mouse is a pain. Anyone know how you hover?

Otherwise, addicted as a lone wolf at the mo, which is nice.

I currently play as Vanu and from my use of the lock on AT launcher its semi broke. It works if your within 150m of a tank get a lock on and it will 80% of the time actually home in on the tank. Anything past 150m it will still lock and try to home but just arc down and totally miss. Theres also some inconsistencies with shooting it without a lock for example the first shot without aiming down sights will arc then the next 2 will fly in a straight line unaffected by mavity.

From what i know its a bug with the vanu launcher, so NC and TR may be unaffected.

Im thinking i might save up for the skyguard and actually use the lightning tank or maybe the second burster as well haven't decided yet.
 
I purchased the python HE gun for my lightning the other day. Have to say its pretty awesome, glad I didn't get the skyguard now.

If you want to get vengeance on those heavy assaults with rockets get one!
 
Been getting some awesome streaks with the vanguard at the moment, Esamir is perfect for it! *cough* 52/7 *cough* Ammo is an issue though, the resupply towers are too far apart. Anyone know how much splash damage you lose by going with AP rounds, or how much damage you lose against tanks using the HE rounds?

You lose all splash damage going to AP rounds, requires direct hits on infantry to kill - with HE you lose a hell of a lot of damage against vehicles, feels in the region of 50%... but as you've noticed this might be the easiest game of all time to get stupidly high kill streaks in, so screw going for 3-4 tank kills as 30-40 infantry kills will net you much more; buy a tank with HE and find a base with a mob of infantry and enjoy a free 50 kills for no effort at all. Whilst the HEAT is definitely the best, when you're spamming that spawn room door the HEAT kills the guys poking out and immediately around sure.. HE clears half the room, it's mental.

But hopefully this spammy noobishness will get sorted out with the spawning fixes that are coming as a month or so ago when all bases had SCUs (stopped infantry spawning when destroyed) this wasn't really possible, you could maybe get 10-15 kills and then they would stop spawning.
