I know what you're saying, but you can't drive and gun a sundy on your own.

I do pilot quite a lot, most of my time is spent in my scythe. I know flying has it's problems, and it needs some changes, but I don't think sundys should be defenceless to air. We're only talking about 1 ESF here, let alone a lib or multiple aircraft.

Render issues need fixing sure, but that shouldn't affect game design for sundys IMO.

Well, that's the key problem here, the Sundy is a 3 man vehicle, one driver and two gunners, if you had two gunners or even a small squad, you would had raped that mossy apart or it would had flew away.

Just like a Lib is a 3 man vehicle, one ESF by all rights, shouldn't be able to take down an ESF by himself and Galaxies that have 4 gunners can easy kill a single ESF.

I like the idea of having more weapons options for vehicles, but there has to be a balance.

Anyway, today's been good, the patch didn't break anything.

You shouldn't be in a sundy on your own.

Besides, ESFs are so ****ing weak right now it's only fair. Every kid and his mother has lock on rockets right now which you can't even tell if you've been shot at or not because the lock warning is bugged.


On a lighter note i earnt 30 certs earlier in less than 20 mins flying around an empty Amerish destroying turrets etc. Great flying practice.

Oh that's a good idea, might practice that if I can find a empty spot.

Repairing turrets can give you lots of XP, totally borning but well worth it, more so when it's a double XP weekend.

They meant to be adding training grounds in the next big patch.

Fair enough, but sundys are not built to be constantly on the move anyway.

I already agreed issues need to be fixed for ESFs. Overpowered lock on missiles need tuning down (as they are being in this patch a little, yet to see how it affects it). It shouldn't affect game design for sundys.
 
I don't mind lock on missiles, I just want three things.

To see the person who is shooting them at me, to see the missile coming at me and lastly, audio beeps to alert me to it all.
 
NC pretty much warpgated on all 3 continents on cobalt, whilst having the highest server population :D :D So many hackers on the other 2 factions it's unreal. First time i've actually seen any game breaking hacking and they are out in force.
 
Today was nearly the day *sob*

NC
 
Played this in alpha/beta and then lost interest ... until now... so a couple of questions:

1 - Hackers? Are there really loads of cheats? In the little ive played since returning I cant really tell... I mean the battles are so huge that its not like its an obvious wall hack etc

2 - Donating... what route is the best way to go? Premium and then buy SC cash?

3 - I play TR - any OCUK TR outfits need a member?

4 - Upgrading, Im only BR4 atm... but id like to upgrade the best way tbh.. play as Heavy Assault mainly

5 - I play on Miller - how do I move my character to another server or do I have to start another?

1. I haven't seen any hackers tbh.
2. Yep.
3. Not sure.
4. Make sure you have bought Nanoweave Armour... costs 1cert and boosts health by 10%.
5. You'll have to start a new character if you want to change server/faction.
 
I decided to buy the Shotgun (Nighthawk) today for my Heavy after watching Psycho totally own with it in his Youtube videos.

Had fair results with it, didn't do as well as he did but well better then the lolrecoilol rifles we have. It's a must that you gotta buy extended mags for it so you have 10 rounds loaded instead of 6.

My only gripe with it is that you gotta "load" again because you don't start fully loaded when you first deploy with it.

Lots of Duel Mercy chaingunning today, that rocks and so I totally recommend them if you are TR.

XP for repairing turrets have been nerfed since the big patch, you only get 9-10% XP per beam instead of the 19-20% when using 50XP boosters.

I've just started playing this game and it's a lot of fun.

I get a sense however that i'm missing out an a whole aspect of the game with the Squad/Outfit thing. I join a squad when entering a server but i've yet to really find other people co-operating to any great extent.

How can I find an outfit/squad etc.?

I'm currently VS on Mallory and NC on Cobalt.

This game is definitely 110% more fun in a good outfit you're right. I play on Miller so can't really help with specific suggestions on outfits for you but on my server at least some outfits run open squads and use the in game voice or invite the randoms onto ts/mumble to try things out, perhaps see if there is anything similar?

Alternatively look in your server's outfit recruitment forum and see if you can find an outfit that looks good for you. Although if you're a low battlerank e.g. less than 10 you could look at other servers too I suppose as a good outfit you'll be happy with is worth the time to level back up the initial couple of ranks imo.

Has the infantry points been nerfed? It seems to take forever to accumulate them now.

They've changed how much you get for kills depending on a few factors. For example you may see 'Spawn kill', that means the player hasn't been alive very long so you don't get much xp. If you kill someone who has been alive a while or has a good killstreak going you get more xp. Personally I find myself getting more xp now than before, but I guess it depends on how you play and who you're killing. E.g. farming a bio lab all day won't be as good now.

Check the patch notes for game update 2 (assuming what I've described is what you meant). Look for the experience updates section.
 
Has anyone used Scout Radar on the Flash?

I'm thinking of certing into it, the idea of seeing everything around me for 100 meters would be awesome when am lone wolfing bases.

But since radar is buggy, not sure if I want to lay down the certs for it.
 
There's a guy in our outfit swears by it, says it's saved his life a few times. Just park the thing somewhere it won't be seen, since he told me what he was using it for, I become instantly suspicious whenever I see a parked enemy flash :)

Parked? Do you get the radar even when you're not sat on board the flash? Or do you mean when someone is sitting parked on the flash?
