*** Official Planetside 2 Thread ***
- Thread starter Swifty55
- Start date
I'll be honest, I haven't had hitching/lag/FPS drops for a long time (since early PU) login times were at around 3-4 minutes at one point, but once I was in it worked fine. But then I do regularly delete certain files after a big update and let them re download.
- ActivityUserData.ini
- InputProfiles.xml
- LaunchPad-user.ini
- LoadingScreen.xml

I've had a higher ping at times and longer login times since the merge but no hitching that I've noticed.
In the past when they've had hitching issues it has been hardware dependent so just because you don't have it doesn't mean others won't. I'd say Nitram is completely right to feel as he does and should probably put in a complaint given that they've offered no compensation for the inconvenience this has caused to a large number of players. On the plus side it looks like it will be fixed in the patch this week, so fingers crossed.

Well to be fair I am trollbaiting Nitram to a certain extent, but there was a touch of throwing the toys out of the pram about that post, particularly as the hitching bug 'that they have no intention of fixing' is actually being looked at.
The thing to remember about PS2 is that is must be an order of complexity above anything else out there at the moment. Developers shy away from 100s vs 100s games for good reason, and I'm just bloody glad the game actually exists and is basically free. I think Sony do a bloody good job of developing it, keeping it playable and adding features.

Patch notes. Actual patch has been delayed though:
Valkyrie
A new NS vehicle is now available at standard aircraft terminals, the Valkyrie!
The Valkyrie is a six person aircraft used for close air support and transportation. It is crewed by a pilot and a forward gunner with room for four additional rumble seat passengers. These passengers sit in open seats on the side of the Valkyrie which allows them to use their personal equipment while in flight.
New Ribbons and Medals
Mentorship Ribbon - Awarded to players in a squad who are above BR 20. Awarded by being within 50m of a squadmate who is at or under BR 20 for every 200 squad bonus XP that squadmate earns.
Drill Sergeant Ribbon - Awarded to squad leaders. This ribbon is awarded every time a player under Battle Rank 20 gains a battle rank in the squad. Requires the squad leader to be within 300m of the player to receive the ribbon.
Squad Leadership Ribbon - Awarded to squad leaders. This ribbon is awarded for every 500 squad bonus XP generated by players in the squad. Requires the squad leader to be within 300m to receive credit towards the ribbon.
Platoon Leadership Ribbon - Awarded to Platoon leaders. This ribbon is awarded for every 3 squad leadership ribbons earned by other squad leaders in the platoon.
Platoon Conquest Ribbon - Awarded to Platoon Leaders. Ribbon is awarded for every 30 platoon members involved in a capture in the same region as the platoon leader. Partial credit is awarded, so platoons smaller than 30 can still receive the ribbon through more captures, and platoons larger than 30 can earn more credit towards the next ribbon. It requires at least 10 enemies to be present at the time of the capture in order to receive any credit.

Known Issues
Firing a Phoenix from a Valkyrie rumble seat may hit the Valkyrie you are in. Friends don't let friends fire wired guided missiles inside aircraft.
Decals on the Valkyrie may appear stretched.
We're looking into ways to help mitigate firing sway on the Valkyrie rumble seats.
PS4 codebase integration side effects:
There may be some new input issues (unable to map keys etc); we caught a lot of them but some may have slipped out
Visibility issues (objects not occluding properly); with our Umbra upgrade we may have some problems here where objects either occlude too much or not enough.
Announcements
The PS2 team wants to thank the community for setting up the external bug tracking system (http://ps2issuetracker.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa). Our QA team has been referencing it extensively and multiple bugs have been logged that we didn't have tracked before. We appreciate the efforts to keep everyone up to date; thanks!

Firing a Phoenix from a Valkyrie rumble seat may hit the Valkyrie you are in. Friends don't let friends fire wired guided missiles inside aircraft.
Decals on the Valkyrie may appear stretched.
We're looking into ways to help mitigate firing sway on the Valkyrie rumble seats.
PS4 codebase integration side effects:
There may be some new input issues (unable to map keys etc); we caught a lot of them but some may have slipped out
Visibility issues (objects not occluding properly); with our Umbra upgrade we may have some problems here where objects either occlude too much or not enough.

No Nitty, no fun.
Boring zergs and redeployside 2 over 9000 is better then ever before, awesome for spawn room warriors.
Got a few questions.
First off, SC. I am a monthly sub but I'm just wondering how I get my free SC every month? Do I need to redeem anything, or is it simply added to my account? I haven#t been a member for a month yet but I just checked my account and was told that my station cash "expires" in a few days. Que?
Secondly, any tips for the Lightning? I've certed up my Sundy and infantry to the point where the next upgrades are too expensive to bother with yet, and I suck at flying so I'd like to up my tank game a bit. Obviously survivability at this point is the most important aspect, as I just seem to get slaughtered every time I pull one of these. I'm also using the HEAT main gun with a few reload speed certs ploughed into it. I'm getting better slowly, but if anyone's got any tips, I'm all ears
As an aside, what are the odds of this running on a run of the mill HP Pavillion?
I think it's an i3 something or other, 8gb of RAM and an HD4000. I don't need high settings, if I'm able to pull a sunderer and drive it to somewhere where it'll make a difference, that'll do me nicely. It certainly beats doing nothing on night shifts.

You have to claim your SC in the profile page by clicking the button, make sure to do it each month or you lose it when it becomes available again.
Lightning tank, it all depends what weapon you be using and the battle.
My standard setup is the Rival Combat Chassis, you don't need the Racer since the Lightning tank is fast enough and without Rival you can't turn for crap.
Other then that, I use Auto-Repair and finally I switch between Fire Suppression System and Prox Radar and Zoom for everything.

I'd cert the Skyguard if you have enough points.
Great for raking in XP, and it's always handy to spawn with one at a nearby base when your current spawns are camped by esf's / libs / gals.
It should run on an HP Pavillion, but you'd need everything set to low I'd expect. And stay away from large battles.
I managed to get around 35fps from an i5 Dell laptop I had around a year ago.
Ok great, I've been wondering about the Skyguard for a long time but something just doesn't sit right, it's probably the fact that it's not a dedicated AA unit but rather a tank with a silly turret on top. Still, should probably give it a go anyway.
It runs buttery smooth on this laptop too. Granted I have to play with everything to the lowest settings but after a couple of hours it was actually fairly doable, and because I felt I was on my hind legs for a while, I concentrated more on tank play as it's a bit more forgiving to those of us playing on less than optimal systems and I learned more about tanking than I did since I started playing.
On another note, one thing that's seriously starting to grate is the updates. I can handle updates no problem, but when you're dealing with a few gigs as often as this game does, it gets annoying fast. Doesn't help that at work I'm at the mercy of BT's wonderful "wish I was as fast as dial up" broadband!
I need to get into the habit of checking for updates at home, at least my zippy broadband will deal with it a bit faster.

If you happen to find a good area / spot for using the Skyguard, I'd suggest making sure the front of the Lightning is facing behind you, if that makes sense.
Once libs, etc... know roughly where you are they will try & come in from the back, hoping to hit the softer rear armour.
If you start to take damage from an aircraft in from the rear then the stronger front armour will give you a bit more time.
Accelerate & you'll go under the lib. That should give you enough time to take it out / make it run.
Unless it has a belly / tail gunner that is. Then you're toast
I found that positioning the tank so that the rear is against a wall or mountain or something tends to help quite a bit.
I must be honest, the most frustrating thing in this game is by far the BR100 ESF pilots that just keep farming you over and over again. I bust out my lock on, what do the rest of my team do?
Infiltrator. Seriously...

If you getting farmed and I deem farming when the same player kills you twice, then you playing the game wrong and you should stop doing what you been doing the last times you was killed.
Running out in the open trying to shoot rockets at a tank that can easy kill you or some ESF that can bomb you with ease is playing the game wrong.
Bit annoyed to find when they actually have a sale on, my account shows 0 balance. Assuming they fix it before the end of the weekend, is there anything particularly useful to pick up early while discounted?
I've held off spending any as of yet aside from an additional character slot when I started
If you play regularly at night and like to always do big fights when you login might be worth your while making a character on the Emerald (US-east) server
I like that when the eu server goes into whack-a-mole ghost capping frenzy I can simply switch to it

It's not tanks, I am fairly proficient in taking out pesky tanks but rather ESFs. I find that they all have the same ***** mentality, constantly harrassing you but the second you get a lock on, they bugger off behind mountains. Basically, I hate anyone who flies ESFs. No interest in capping, just farming kills, and as soon as the going gets tough, they chicken out. Always the same story. They are in the same league as corner camping kiddies in CoD.
That said, I was on a mission this evening before the maintenance, myself and two burster maxes were defending a base and swatting them like flies. These guys would do the usual bombardment of rocket pods, fly away to repair, then come back and repeat. Eventually I got my lockon out and two burster maxes joined the party and these guys just dropped one after another. I really need to give a burster max a go, seems a pretty potent way of dealing with these spineless chickens.
One thing I must add, where does the Hawk shoot its rocket from? They seem to come from my feet as every time I am near a building, I always hit it, despite aiming far over the top of it. Annoying as hell.
What would you guys recommend for AA, a Skyguard or Burster Max?
I just want to shred ESFs all day long. Can't stand them. I have found my calling in this game.

If you want to do anti-air, then you need to fly. The NC and VS fly around in gank squads on Miller, so you be fine.
If you staying on the ground, Skyguard since you can move around but be prepared to get destroyed by my Fury Flash.
