why don't you try construction out, it's fun

try doing something other with your life than being a negative nancy crybaby

nice thread i enjoyed it

>7.8 IVI kdr
close
>98% HA playtime
eww, disgusting
>why don't you try construction out, it's fun
But I have tried it out.
Buildmans is moderately fun, but being on the receiving end of it is extremely cancerous. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of this game being something other than a glorified TDM, but the way they designed construciton it won't be fun in the long run, there is no strategic depth to it other than "sneak a few ANTs and an AMS close to the enemy WG, fortify, put a HIVE down, lock cont". I like open field battles, but when there are invincible turrets involved it's not fun. It got old quick.
Also, for basically everything concerning the construction patch, balance is atrociously bad. And of course, the mandatory 20% decrease in performance we get every big patch.
Construction aside, the rest of the patch was awful.

when u just wanna farm mans but the entire server is playing world of tanks and minecraft

if there was a thing that drew blips on the Indar map every minute while you play the game, would all your blips be in biolabs?

when u just wanna farm tanks but the entire server is playing world of planes

nope
not even a fourth probably

>almost a fourth of your playtime in biolabs

give me more things to work with

>almost a fourth of your playtime in biolabs
that's not what i said though

aha
let's see how this will work out

Is the double XP week because Doom got released, or because of the Freeman's mind guy?

Oh, so THAT'S what that guy is E-famous for...

I'd love to farm the shit out of the shitters he brings with him, but I'll be in London :(

TACTICAL SUPERIORITY

Tanks

prowler = easy mode
Vanguard = normal mode
magrider = hard mode

aircraft

mosquito = hard
scythe = normal
reaver = easy

infantry

TR = normal
NC = hard
VS = easy

is this accurate ?

>magrider = hard mode

>doesn't have an invicibility button
>doesn't have a 2.8x more DPS than everyone else mode
I can strafe sideways at 20kph tho.

t. shitter

>>magrider = hard mode
Yeah, the Magrider at BEST is Normal Mode...
The Vanguard is probably much more punishing when it comes to screw up while Tonking.

>an entire week+a weekend of double exp
Holy shit

I would disagree, vanguards have a grand offensive push with that shield. magriders are hard to hit at a distance. that's about all they have going for them.

>much more punishing when it comes to screw up
>press F to not die

b-but STRAFING

>TR infantry
>Hard mode

lelolel epik meme friend.

is phoenix shit ?

>BUT THAT’S NOT ALL! Just for this sale, the 30 Day Heroic Boost is returning! That’s right, you can buy Experience Boosts in 1 hour, 1 day, 3 days, or 7 days, OR you can buy one that’s good for THIRTY DAYS.

why are they lying to us ?

yes and no
they call it the coward cannon for a reason

This just sounds like some bullshit but blasted shitTR's came up with. Never once heard it called that.

Show us on the model where the big nasty phoenix touched your underpowered prowler.

what do I buy as NC HA ?

are vehicle grenades good ?

it does shit damage for a launcher but you can use it without stepping out from cover ...
>coward cannon

what's your play style ?
do you like to hipfire or can you handle recoil well ?

oh and yes anti vehicle grenades are good if you use it and pull out your launcher you can kill a max in a second. skill is required though

its niche is being used in a large group against out-of-the-way sundies

it's okay at that, if only because no one knows that you can shoot the things out of the air

it is in all other cases a bad deci

Prowler is Deus Ex realistic mode.

Are you retarded user?

I´m using default gauss which is more suited for longer range I think. I love its 200dmg bullets

Time for some CLAB webms!

The only bases we actually managed to take was when we got backup. Everyone was permanently dead because 2:1 underpop.

Why do I even keep joining this shit...

just get the anchor, it's the best all rounder gun the nc have for HA. it's the nc version of the mswr or the orion. If you really like the mid range squad support play style you should get the em1

LONDON

Any of you guys got Doom? How's the full version of the game?

>>ever playing in milsim retard platoons with "Napoleon" master tactician leaders
I do hate this idiots, mostly because of how stupidly they mismanage the surprising number of players that group with them...
I also fear I might BE one, but I can never seem to get a Squad started.

>pounders are bad
>pls buff
We haven't been asking for a Pounder buff since they actually DID buff them.

What?

I wish ANT could get an option to change its claws for some kind of ramming thingy.

the invincibility button really doesn't help much.

If you're out in the open, you'll still die

If you're close to cover, you shouldn't have needed it in the first place

literally the only time it's of any real application is tank mines, c4 fairies, libfags, and sometimes some MBT getting the drop on you (though you're usually still dead).

I would gladly give up the shield for the magboost or anchor.

it's not packet loss it's skill

This sounds like my outfit

I've been playing with them less and less lately because squad leads can't seem to pick targets effectively and there's so much downtime and waiting around it's like I'm in the goddamn armed forces for real.

Which of course means I need to squad lead myself, but I suck at it just as much as they do. I'm good at killing mans, not herding cats.

If all we've got is 10 players in a squad and the squad average kdr is 0.7, trying to do a point hold, or literally anything other than assisting some other squad/platoon is total suicide. Only thing we're ever effective at is armor.

I fucking love titan AP

It IS a fun thing to ram enemy vehicles with...

EXACTLY!
While the shield can make a Vanguard Tanky-er, it won't KEEP you alive.

>titan velocity buff when
I don't think I'd mind it.

I fucking love the gauss, but you have to put dedicated effort into learning it. Which largely means 200+ hours of practice with the damn thing - and not just simply using it, but using it and actively trying to improve and use it better; experimenting with different attachment options, engagement distances, etc.

Okay, for starters, read this: iridar.net/planetside2/weapons/weapon-mechanics/

What I've learned:
1. Don't use it within 20m unless you can reliably get headshots; it's more of a mid-range support weapon
2. Burst fire 5-8 rounds at a time
3. Beyond ~100m it's probably better to fire like it's semi-auto; you have no CoF spread if you stand still and fire 1 bullet at a time
4. Bullet velocity is stupidly slow in this game, even at 20m you have to lead almost an entire body length to hit someone who's running perpendicular to you
5. Hipfire at like 5m actually works, just don't spray too long
6. For longer-distance targets, stand still and crouch(better CoF than standing) while firing. Turn on your overshield when you do this to prevent snipers headshotting you

mfw doom campaign isn't as shit as i thought it was

RIP AND TEAR

>implying anything about TR infantry is hard mode
>calling someone else retarded

cry more nigger.

>Prowler is OP unless I use it

Or, instead of doing this, you can just use the anchor without spending all that time figuring out how the gauss works

Anchor works in 95% of the fights you'll ever get into and is easier to use without going through some kind of retarded training regimen.

are you actually retarded

it's the most general-use ES-heavy gun

jack's arguably stronger depending on the situation, but MCG gets work done
