Previously:
Question still stands
Fuck years later and still no lightning buff
We made it through a thread in under two days
I'm proud of you /ps2g/
Construction has actually introduced a decent meta beyond "kill mans"
turtling is a viable strategy if you actually care about continent wins.
If construction doesn't win people over again this is probably the last big weekend people are gonna have. Make the most of it.
>reinstalled this game immediately after playing Dirty Bomb
>Old character is Vanu
>weapons feel like shitty plastic toys, can't get a single kill
>switch to the NS7, immediately get 6 kills
Oh god please send help.
Does Vanu have any weapons that don't suck massive dick, or do I have to use these shitty neutral weapons?
I'm rank 10 and have been trying to use the lightning tank as often as my resources let me. This thing is actually kind of shitty. The explosion's hitbox is smaller than it looks like it is, it's weird. Does shitty damage, too. I'm not sure what this thing is supposed to be good for. It's decent for killing infantry but it has paper thin defense and gets wrecked by any sort of focused fire. One sunderer with both guns manned can blow it up before it can kill them. I try to only expose the front to the enemy when possible and keep moving without exposing the back when I can't take potshots with only the front armor showing.
>build 6 hexes away from the objective
>wonder why you lose the alert
Clearly a problem with the construction system.
It's cheap. The MBT is objectively better, but an AP lightning is good if you just really need some armor right now.
As an MBT is expensive and require a link to a tech plant, you may not always have one.
ehhh just saw some videos of this new construction update. Canceled the download at 90%
Nice blog
Where can I subscribe
this game looked so promising
Basically all vehicles suck if you don't upgrade them. Give it the Python HE and you'll start to see results.
>HE better than viper
no lol
ESFs need buffs. I can't instagib with pods and Ai noseguns anymore
>>build 6 hexes away from the objective
6 hexes deep into enemy territory
>>wonder why you lose the alert
No, we knew exactly why we're losing the alert.
>Clearly a problem with the construction system.
Bases being largely irrelevant ISN'T a problem with the system? Sorry, what?
Inb4 yadda yadda, every single base I've ever seen in the middle of the road to where I needed to go was smashed to pieces by an armor column. I don't give a single shit how the clever players of your superior server use them, this is what I've seen on my server.
Well maybe you should stop being on a shit server
GUYS
GUYS
IT'S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE
WE UNDED GAEM NOW
The server is perfectly fine, the construction system just doesn't work here very well.
>implying he'll stay
All that is literally just from Lirik streaming it.
>streamers decide the "dedness" of a game
We are ded, get over it
>1 streamer carries the views
Lol
I played for 7h today
barely anyone gives a shit about the construction, it's business as usual with more people
feels alive
yes, I'm taking screenshots and enjoying it because it can be the last not ded weekend

Why are you complaining, it's even more shitters to shoot

sounds good to me

I'm fantasizing

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNND it's over
we ded gam again
>KINESTAR [HORNET MISSILES]
Always fun to decimate his Scythe mid-air
Beware the ant mounds
how come you didn't get instaraped by a turret
They will get farmed by HE Prowlers and Betelgeuse autists and quit before BR15 with a KD of 0.11. Then they will make a vlog video about how pay2win the game is. Just like the countless shitters that came before them.
How come there's a 9 gb patch every time I come back from a break?
I hear the game is totally different and potentially awesome now with construction and shit. Is this true?
I think i was out of range. Got bolt shitted though :^)
There were sitting there for hours trying to bait us to attack them, which didn't happen. Their VP generator was running at 100% efficiency.
did you even read the thread
No
I'm reinstalling. Going to medick, NC still have best stock ARs?
The best stock AR was always T1
Nah, that would be TR
NC has the best infantry weapons in every category except LMGs where VS has a slight edge.
Okay thanks, I'll try NC either way since it's the only faction I haven't played yet and I can max out memeguard and try sniping aircraft when I get bored.
>ns emissary
>stalker cloak
thoughts?
t. Brave underpowered warrior of Terran Republic
lol
?
>thoughts?
they go together like bread and butter, emissary is also fun to use
t. sub 1.0 IVI KDR shiTR
This meme is outdated, MSW-R is the best LMG nowadays, TR AR's are miles better than NC/VS ones, carbines are debatable but it's something like NC=TR > VS.
>emissary is also fun to use
that's what I wanted to hear, I'll try it out
Wrong
>cycler is not the best stock AR
lol shiTRs
>tfw some random asshole from /ps2g/ shows up in a mislabelled stream of a friend you're watching
YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE
Is there some sort of promo code going on right now for returning players?
>Indar revamp
>tawrich techplant turrets can still shoot every corner of tawrich depot
Nice.
>MSW-R is the best LMG nowadays
Why would it be?
>TR AR's are miles better than NC/VS ones
The only thing they have going for them is 40 rounds. VS have the Terminus, and NC has a tool for every situation. Reaper DMR is one of the most OP weapons in the game; a long range weapon with TTK and handling of a CQC one
>carbines are debatable
Again, NC has a tool for every situation. Jaguar is the only exceptional TR carbine
>The only thing they have going for them is 40 rounds
>Reaper DMR is one of the most OP weapons in the game; a long range weapon with TTK and handling of a CQC one
>Jaguar is the only exceptional TR carbine
Confirmed for sub 1.0 IVI KDR.
You are bad, so you may not even going to argue with you. Have a lol.
Are you a BR?
See
Nah that's just my phone's autocorrect
>shitter can't handle being told he's a shitter
shitter
Hey there Folks, Wrel here!
I see you're all enjoying our new construction system, so please check out my new video.
youtube.com
>you can increase the amount of cortium the ANT can carry
Didn't know that, thanks Wrel
>people are starting to understand how shit this update was
kek
so much for "we sis IR, reddit!"
m.reddit.com
>we sis IR
fucking phone
>>people are starting to understand how shit this update was
I-it's great though! Y-you must be a shitter if you don't like it. Get good or get out, or something. S-shitter!
you lads hate everything
HOLY FUCKING SHIT
This is amazing on so many fucking levels! I haven't touched PS2 in months and now I am downloading it as I type.
This construction/resource system was exactly what I fucking wanted
Are there any differences between factions? Are those turrets automated? How much of a raise did the team get that pushed for this idea?
construction will be dead after last big fight on sunday
your post isn't serious, right? because I'm not sure if I should answer
No, we hate bad things. They have been working on this for what, half a year?
Granted, it's unexpectedly bug-free, but there's literally only a dozen look pieces to play with, balance is completely fucked, zerging is encouraged, and once the hype dies down we'll be back to shotting mans as usual.
That's half a year of wasted dev time. Yay.
Turrets can be automated by placing an AI module next to them
I just want my Tower only continent
VS have had every gud gun nerfed into the ground due to years of shitter salt
now they got their way vehicleside is real and VS is also weakest in that regard
sweet
fuck off cunt I'm a c&c junkie and this is basically renegade on fucking alien crack, for these features to pop out of nowhere cause I didn't know they were in progress has just made my fucking month
>fuck off cunt I'm a c&c junkie
why the hostility faget? I'm just not sure if someone is really excited or just memeing
construction is really bare bones and boring, and you need a devoted squad to do anything
>Are there any differences between factions?
lol
>Are those turrets automated?
yes with AI module
>How much of a raise did the team get that pushed for this idea?
its smedleys idea from SOE days
Trying to not be a shitter on my VS character and play something other than heavy, which medic gun would you recommend?
Terminus, hands down my favourite infantry weapon in the game.
the hv-45 or wahtever its called for close range
default for general use
forgot what to use for long range because I auraxed ARs years ago
Maybe you shouldn't have been a bunch of shit eating cunts since launch.
>mfw Wrel buffs VS
>construction is really bare bones and boring
Different strokes for different folks
>you need a devoted squad to do anything
Is this supposed to be a con or something?
oh fuck really? Haven't played in a while and VS used to be the shit, what changed and what faction is best?
boring is a opinion, bare bones is fact
>Is this supposed to be a con or something?
depends if you have bunch of minecraft autist as friends who want to do boring shit with you
I hope you enjoy the update.
>bare bones is fact
Explain how it's barebones, and how you would make it not barebones
That's what happened to TR, except it didn't take years. Now you know what it's like to be the underdog.
holy fuck I feel bad for that guy
but I can't stop laughing
>Explain how it's barebones
just watch wrel's video or any other consturction system video
>and how you would make it not barebones
add more shit/ buildings and add some more gameplay to it, it would be cool if these bases produces nanites yused to buy shit
this new base building system is so good
>don't even have to have a brain
>park prowler near base
>kill wave after wave of vanguards for hours
>air can't get near me do to the umbrella and AA guns
this game is now worth my money
NIGGA FINALS IS DONE
BOUT TO GET ALL UP IN DAT ASS WITH SOME PK EWPKEW PKEW
FK U N WAT UR HRUD NIGGA
BLASTDAT ASS
Maybe he'll make it so magriders can climb cliffs again.
Are you fucking kidding me
>Why
>it just is, just look at it
>How would you fix it
>just like add buildings lol
The things we can build are:
>HIVE aka VP generator. Generates win but takes cortium
>Silos. Like a stationary ANT that has more capacity
>Piece of wall
>Bunker
>Overpowered autoturrets
>Repair module
>Umbrella shield that block enemy projectiles and kills people who try to drop through it
Not exactly a huge amount of depth
