nice game planetards

probably a mixture of

>burn-out after double xp week (personally feeling this)
>construction losing its "new" feel

I've got two friends who are new to the game.
How can I make it fun for them?

zephyr+bulldog

this .

if it was only one person, I'd say harasser, 3 person harassers are always boring for the rumble seat guy. The whole thing falls apart if the driver is a shitter too.

I'm bad at flying though
What stuff should I equip in the other Slots?

...

can I play this game on toaster now?

...

Composite, hi-g, tankbuster, and turbo-boost.

Turbo is probably most important.

Extreme close range is always pretty fucky with shotguns, for whatever reason.

A L I V
T H R E D

What does an A2G Scythe look like nowadays? I haven't played in years.
Do you still just do PPA + Fuel Tank? I don't remember any of these secondary weapons and they all feel the same in the VR.

yes
if you were TR hornets would be the way to go, but VS and NC get the luxury of having long afterburner
btw, extended fuel tanks are now default (if you don't equip another secondary)

When should you pull MAXes?

I play VS and finally can invest a few certs into them.

I have the impression HA is more efficient at killing vehicles (also cheaper if you get killed sooner than you'd think). HA G2A seems also better at AA

So, what are good AI loadouts? For when you're defending / pushing to a point?

>I have the impression HA is more efficient at killing vehicles
no lol
>HA G2A seems also better at AA
if there's only one (assuming it's not an ex quake pro with a deci) then a MAX is far more dangerous
in general, skillsuits are better at close range AA, while HA locks are better at long range
>So, what are good AI loadouts? For when you're defending / pushing to a point?
unless you're an AI comet/pounder/falcon nerd, always use the long range guns for AI. DPS or ammo capacity is irrelevant if you don't hit. blueshift/mercy/mattock, always. no exceptions.

>When should you pull MAXes?
>I play VS
at every possible opportunity

The Airhammer is now worse at anti-infantry than the live version of Banshee, but its vehicle damage is even more ridiculous than before.

Wrel what are you smoking?

nc finally getting the nerfs they deserve

wrel replaced his brain with another bandana

don't ask questions

Are all the secondaries useless, then? Do I have any AV options as a Scythe?

hornets/LPPA for cancerman loadout.

I dunno if getting a mini-tankbuster is a nerf.

>AH
>mini-tankbuster
???????

Go to the PTS and try it

What the fuck is happening on Briggs

When theres one engi on the team. Theres no good time to pull a max, but the most "honorable" non-shitter opportunity would be when your faction is slightly outpopped.

MAXes work better with teamwork

What do you mean worse? Does it take 1 more second to kill an infantryman?

It could take your whole magazine depending on RNG. The spread is huge and splash non existent.

There is no honorable in PS2. Only salty infantryside vets who get mad when vehicles/MAXes ruin their statpadding session

Is putting two C4 bricks on a flash and use it as a kamikaze still a good idea?
Would it get me some fun kill?

Few questions.
1. for survivability, is flak armor better than nanoweave?
2. are Hornet missiles worth the cost?

Flak in zergs. Nanoweave in small fights. Advanced shield capacitor fits all though(used once you can shoot mans properly)

Do it with an Infiltrator friend that has cloaking, and MBTs literally cannot stop you.

oh boys

So as someone who is about to spend money on this ded game. I have one question, is there a secure credit card system where I don't need to save my card to my account or does daybreak just not have that.

i'd rather not have my account get hacked and my credit card info found

aim better

Game has prepaid cards you can buy at a gas station, friend

Not your friend, pal

It also accepts your Steam wallet if you can find prepaid cards for that. Or just use Paypal, buddy.

You can do it yourself if you've a fury.

Attach c4, swap to infil, detonate with fury.

Works best against prowlers, okay against vanguards/lightnings, and kind of finicky against magriders. Sometime it goes seamlessly, others you pass harmlessly beneath them without it detonating.

If you're doing it without wraith (ie, just using the flash as a c4 torpedo), then turbo-boost is near required.

He's not your buddy, pal.

That fight at Northpoint was fun.

hornets are op as shit for farming vehicles

Looks like we are getting another update where TR gets the buffs they need and deserve q:^)

wwwweeeeeeeeeeeewww

yeah i'm just going to stay in biolabs from now on

wrel clearly doesn't want you to step outside

1v1?

>while someone's trying to meme with you at 50kph, you just pop shield and dumbfire a rocket into the cert pinata
I don't see the problem here.

Sure, rocket rifles only. I'll go as TR :^)

If you didn't notice it was a MAX, it instagibs infantry just like pre nerf.

It is because shotguns have terrible CoF that is wider than their spread at close range. So you can have 100% of pellets miss at point blank.

LPPA kills significantly faster.

Last week I went looking for all the planetside art I could get. I was quite disappointed as I discovered that like 80% of all of it is pony shit. I was also surprised at the lack of VS ponies, I expected them to have a ton, but it was TR who had the most.

I feel like tr has rused me.

I'm going to switch to permanant spawn-room burster duty.

Which is way more difficult now that most of the spawn rooms on Indarside got changed to the big version that you can't burster from.

Do people not remember the original air hammer and how that thing used to fucking ruin vehicles?

So these things are for light assault only?

...

considering the CoF is 2x the crosshair circle, you'll manage.

All wrel needed to do with the AH was tighten its CoF so it was useful outside deci range. Instead he did the opposite.

All rise for the New Conglomerate anthem.

wait so we're getting an NS rocklet rifle but it is different based on what faction you are? wtf is this shit?

What do you all think of construction?

its fun and a good addition but didn't make planetside 2 great again

built a lot of walls though

Why is the VS MAX so shit?

NC and TR get fucking shotguns and rockets for their MAXes and Vanu gets nothing to kill infantry with splash.
Am I missing why they're supposed to be good?

fucking lol

Also works on Sunderers if you max out the engineer belt, but it's expensive as hell for one shot.

At 100% efficiency, a single Hive will generate 1 VP every forty (40) minutes. This entire process also generates virtually no XP; a single full ANT delivery only gives you four kills' worth of XP, for example, despite it taking several minutes. So every squad/platoon jerking off in the corner with their walls is a squad that's actively pulling troops off other, actually viable win conditions.

In terms of making FOBs, the no-build zones are extremely restrictive and prevent proper building placement, so you end up with shitty islands that are so off the path that they barely pull any players off the actual base.

So construction is useless in all regards.

>So these things are for light assault only?

Yes

>NS rocklet rifle but it is different based on what faction you are?

Not entirely. It has various ammo types to chose from, also ES types. It even has access to smoke and flashbangs in secondary mode (RMB, consumes more ammo)

...

>didn't even fire

aim better

what's the point, i wouldn't kill it and ammo is expensive

guys guys

imagine if overnight ps2 became ps1 with updated graphics

fucking fuck just kill me, just fucking end it i don't want to play videogames any more, i'm sick and tired of disappointments and i can't get hype for any new games anymore

Python HEAT or Python AP?

>Literally AP shotgun
Put this shit back to NC

AP

>what's the point

>what's the point

>c4 kids literally on suicide watch

i don't understand, are they going to nerf C4?

They made the 3rd person camera on vehicles more zoomed out so you pretty much have no way of sneaking up on a vehicle now. Plus I think it works better with a overlay now, so they can stay in 3rd person mode now.

if the NC has the high damage thing, what would TR get?

even more damage?

This game has nothing on PS1. Absolute utter garbage marketed towards millennials with cocks tinier than their attention span.

>implying tank drivers don't get tunnel vision

Most C4 kills are on lazy or shitty tank drivers, or drivers who have been outplayed (nothing like planting two bricks on the ground and then goading some kill-thirsty tank to chase you right into your death trap)

The impact of this will be minimal.

>no way of sneaking up on a vehicle now.

wait wait, did they finally apply your FOV settings to vehicle 3rd person, is that it? or is it just zoomed out?

Can it be fixed?
