Planetside 2 Updates and Changes

so apparently they can refund certs now. when they want to.

I wonder if they are finally feeling the sting.      Honestly though,  I'm still waiting for the PS1 free2play tactic take off.

The wall of nerf is amazing.    I feel sorry for the person that had to type that up.

A lot hinges on how many people run flak, if most people run flak (which I assume they will), all of those damage nerfs are going to compound on themselves and make shit incredibly frustrating. Especially considering you only need RANK FUCKING ONE of Flak to survive something like a proxy mine.

PPA looks pretty bad now too since you now have to practically shove it up someone's ass to do damage with it. Harasser got nerfed into uselessness.

Most of the stuff doesn't sounds that important (fuck Harassers), but worried about tank nerfs against infantry.  Ain't hard for infantry to kill a tank, but sounds like you need a Kobalt to kill them now?  PPA sounds useless, but I'm curious how increasing the projectile hitbox (they made it 7x as big) translates into reality.

[Didzo]

Projectile hitbox increase for the PPA might be more than enough to compensate for the rest of the nerfs.

Also the patch is actually out now, gonna start it running while i get some groceries.

Gonna be funny now to see the next MAX data.  Watch VS just plummet in effectiveness and be far below TR and NC.

[Goffin]

Nothing is accurate in this game.  It's all smoke and mirrors.  The only thing this company does successfully is leave a bad taste in your mouth.  Only if they could make money off of that.  Pow!

I'm reading that flak armor is broken now so careful certing into it.

Honestly, I don't expect to ever get the lodestar in PS2 since the majority of the gameplay and map environment modifications are meant to prevent vehicle into bases, and the lodestar would just circumvent that. so I'm sad... I still can't wait for that planned gal update though...

Its never going to happen - something I'm realizing more and more about what sucks with base design - infantry shoot out, vehicles can't shoot in.

Its one of the fundamental differences from PS1 - where all the base fighting once the courtyard got swept was indoors - you both can't shoot at each other. You actually have to dismount and go inside.

The thing that bothered me about OMFG was not that they suspended all further content updates (like the gal) indefinitely but that they suspended the ESF update HALFWAY THROUGH.  They released part A, which made all the noseguns blandly similar and flight patterns identical (I think) and then forgot to release the rest where they made things interesting again.

The AMS cert line is dominating its slot (~96% equip rate for those curious). It’s an important cert line for the game and we don’t want to change its functionality, so we’re going to make the certification line passive to the Sunderer. This opens up the Utility loadout slot on the Sunderer, which allows players to have more varied and creative loadout combinations.

All existing certs will convert over cleanly
