Any outfits recruiting? I've only just started playing and having fun but it seems the game would be far more fun when part of a decent outfit. I don't really mind what server or faction as I'm only battle rank 4 at the moment and would be quite happy to start again.

http://digital-legion.com/ - We're NC on Miller, mixture of Planetside 1 vets and players who've joined in PS2, mostly UK/Scandinavia, some have been here 10 years. We usually run about 2 squads most nights and regularly work alongside many other NC outfits, normally we focus on fast response infantry so dropping in on bases from a galaxy for example, but we do a little of everything. Only requirements are basically 18+, use mumble and don't be an idiot.

So vehicles are getting nerfed in the next update. Skyguard is getting a buff which am looking forward too since I use that often. Looking forward to the MCG and Vulcan changes. Ever since I read it was getting buffed I have started to pour certs into it. :D

Personally think some of the resource costs for the vehicles are slightly too high. Flash 150 really? 450 for a MBT really? Someone said they will have to choose between throwing a grenade or using vehicles, that might sound iffy, but there is truth in that.

I'm starting to believe there is more truth in the idea that SOE wants this to be more infantry based then anything and with the upcoming changes to Esmair where pretty much all bases have shield domes and great wall of china walls ringing each base.

I feel for players who don't subscribe to this game, even with 6 month subscription. I can run out resources pretty fast.

Implants are coming soon to PS2 and it sounds like they will be "subscription based" where you can use X amount of SC or 100 certs to unlock them for 1 day or 3 days. Some ideas of Implants will be like more resource gain etc. See where SOE is heading?

On the one hand some of these changes are good in that for someone like me with a boost and membership resources are essentially meaningless. I run out of infantry resources maybe once a week and that's whilst using tons of C4, Mines, Max suits and nades.

On the other hand I think the prices are out of whack there. Max is a tad too expensive but my main concern is things like the lightning, it's only 50 less than a MBT which seems harsh considering the difference in firepower. Vehicles aren't hard to destroy as it is, especially for TR with Strikers and Fractures, or NC with Phoenix so if they're increasing the resource cost shouldn't they also make them a little tougher?

Another nerf to the NC Max shotguns which wasn't needed at all, we now have the worst Max weapons and ability by a country mile, yet fractures are untouched (should be nerfed hard vs infantry) and only half the ZOE nerf is actually going live (no 8 second limit).

At least they finally seem to be sorting the Jackhammer/Lasher/Chain gun though no doubt if the Jackhammer is even remotely competitive the TR whine machine will have it nerfed in a week.

BMC (Battle Marines of Chaos) is always looking for recruits on Miller server - TR faction. It's a mixed group of ages and different nations. Feel free to join ps-ts.org if you want to join us on Teamspeak.

Thanks IronWarrior

Have you heard of the Sennheiser PC 363D are these any good???
Click to expand...

Nope first I heard about them, will look them up!

Do you have a sound card or a AMP? One thing people overlook is that headphones like Sennheiser's and their like really need a decent sound card or AMP to power them or they won't sound as good. Even a Fll0 E6/E10 can power them pretty well.

Yeah I agree, I think the new price change is a little too extreme which is SOE way of doing things, always far left or far right. I think the prices needed adjusting but not so much. Flash is 150 and it's so easy flipped, killed and ran over by friendly vehicles.

Max at 350 is too much, I think 200 might had been better.

I don't think you have the worst MAX weapons, the Scat/Haxmax owns while the Ravens are pretty deadly. I still think ZOE Maxes are still OP'ed. You are pretty much dead if you close range with them and it's hard to escape them since they run just as fast as you. :/

I didn't think the Shotguns needed nerfing again, maybe it won't be as bad.

As above, you hardly have the worst MAX weapons. It's the same with all MAX weapons, they're situational. Plus, as an NC you haven't seen what the ScatMAX does to infantry, plus the Ravens are just as good as the Fractures at AI. The only one that sucks is VS, but as soon as they flick ZOE on it's a whole different story.

I was speaking in terms of on the test server/once these shotgun changes have gone through with GU11 where every single NC Max Anti-infantry weapon is getting nerfs of between 10-20 damage at both minimum and maximum range having already previously been nerfed in every single way (spread, reload, pellet count, damage, ammo etc)

I have played against Scat maxes as VS on Woodman, have you played against TR?

After the previous nerf they are fine and this new change is totally uncalled for especially when the ZOE is still going to be completely op despite two 'nerfs', meanwhile TR are untouched as usual.

Both Fractures and Ravens should be nerfed against infantry, they are anti-vehicle weapons and should be used as such.

Sure Scatmax were fairly op from release to the first nerf, but those days are long gone and they're pathetically easy to kill if you know how.

So who is taking part in this call to arms event on Miller at 7?
Click to expand...

I took part with a few members from my clan, for three of us it was the first time we'd taken part in anything more than just random running about.

It's a big difference being in a large, organised team, loved it once I worked out what was going on :D

We were TR, with the PC Gamer Outfit.

One thing: I seriously need to get a move on with my pc upgrade, at times I could hardly move. It's actually better on my laptop which I only bought last year.
 
Haven't been on in a month bloody hell what have they done to the VS max its like a hot knife through butter! no wonder why ever 2nd VS was a max :(

No kidding right, before ZOE was added. VS Maxs had a higher K/D then the other two and I have always felt they was really strong.

When ZOE was added, the K/D jumped a other 1% higher then the other two.

Really brings light to Higby's comment that the "VS will only use OP'ed things"

Getting nerfed in GU11 which should be out tonight/tomorrow morning.

Not nerfed enough. :p

If it goes anything like the NC scatters you only have to wait a couple more months and they will nerf it again so hard it won't even be worth using anymore :p

You've got that right... with the new nerfs and the increased cost I can't see myself bothering to pull a MAX now, and when they add cert refund tokens I'll spend all of those cert points somewhere else.

Then again maybe once they've sold lots of flamethrowers they'll rebuff them /cynicism
