When I get annoyed at being killed constantly, I end up pulling medic/engineer then avoid fights and concentrate on repping, ammo supply, ressing. It's like another game and a lot less stressful than spwan, charge, die, spawn, charge, die.

I roll a Buggy with Marauder or Cloak Fury Flash and just go on a rampage, feels good.

Resist Shield + Nano with the extended MCG is even better

Once cert reset comes around I'm changing it all up

When is the multicore patch coming?

As it is no doubt linked to the PS4 version I would imagine sometime before the PS4 release date, they want Planetside 2 to be there as a launch title so we'll be the testbed for the optimizations.

There was also a 300mb patch the other day for which they put up no notes, seems to be performing better for me and many others since then so the assumption is that was some of what they've been working on.

So can any of you guys on Woodman recommend a good VS outfit for my alt?

Just need to find a home for a TR character now, so any suggestions there are welcome too.

VaderDSL · 2 Sep 2013 at 17:37

KOTV on Woodman are my choice, seems like a good bunch of guys with decent numbers.

CAT-THE-FIFTH · 3 Sep 2013 at 07:32

I need a bit of advice on what weapons to get. I am a lvl22 TR Heavy Assault and would like some suggestions for a more powerful weapon at short range than the standard T9 CARV,and a better weapon for shooting at range.

.

KOTV (Keepers of the Void). Can field 3+ platoons (full platoons) during alerts and they are always well lead and structured.

A good group of people to play with as well.

Which server/faction are you?

Best advice is join an outfit so you have people to play with and learn from, if you fancy NC on Miller then digital-legion.com we'd be happy to answer any questions and help you out, play in squads/platoon and the game is much more fun than running solo.

If you prefer other factions I'm sure others on here will have outfits they can point you to.

SouthEastBlue · 3 Sep 2013 at 23:24

Is an outfit like a guild or something? Or is it an externally run clan? I only played as a lone ranger before so was just doing my own thing.

VaderDSL · 3 Sep 2013 at 23:58

It's both, many Outfits have an ingame section you join, that way you can see squads/platoons and their members/location. And many have external websites as well.

It really does make the game better if you find a decent outfit to play in, you can find all sorts, casual, semi casual/serious, full on serious guys etc.

Find something you like doing and do that for the outfit, like driving/deploying sunderers, AA, medic, engy etc.

Join a medium/large outfit. Then you can run in squads/platoons which have leaders (on voice comms) who can tell you where to go, what to do. Also you will have back-up in the form of other squad members etc.

For anyone new to the game, you could also check out Wrel's PS2 video's on Youtube. They cover loads of topics, from weapons to tactics:

Any suggestions??

I am thinking the chain gun for short range use.

VaderDSL · 4 Sep 2013 at 18:48

MSW-R is in my opinion the best close range LMG, better/more useful than the mini chain gun.

Stock weapon is pretty good. Just get handle and scope...

The stock weapons are good across all the factions. That's the beauty of the game - a lvl 1-5 can just as easily kill lvl 50+ regardless of how much money the 50+ has spent.
