Its still there, they moved two of the cap points down on to the bridges so its not nearly as hard to attack.

I think you have to purchase the card from a certain retailer.

That reminds me, I forgot that I have the free cash for Hawken and World of Tanks that came with my card. I was going to give them away.

Nothing special in my EVGA box. I think I'm in the same boat without the dice.

I made it very clear that I don't believe in the exercise.

All game servers will be brought down at 4:00 AM (1:00 PM CEST) for maintenance and a brief update to address a few outstanding issues. Downtime is anticipated to be approximately 4 hours. Players may note the following changes:

• Database optimizations are being done to improve overall performance.

New shotguns available in the Depot! Grab yours today!

• Terran Republic: TAS-16 Blackjack
  
• New Conglomerate: LA39 Bruiser
  
• Vanu Sovereignty: Deimos VA29

NS-15M damage adjustments have been made:

• The minimum damage has been increased at 65 meters from 112 to 125.
  
• Fixes for NS-11C and NS-15M ribbons have been made.

All Phalanx Turrets

• Increased damage resistance to Aircraft Machine Guns from 85% to 94%. This makes it similar to the damage aircraft machine guns do to tank top armor.

Spear Phalanx Turret (Anti-Vehicle)

• Min damage has been adjusted from 1000 to 1250
  
• Projectile flight characteristics now match Vanguard 150mm HEAT
  
• Speed increased from 200 to 250
  
• Gravity has been decreased.

Xiphos Phalanx Turret (Anti-Personnel)

• Changed damage type from personal weapon to heavy machine gun. This will allow it to damage heavy armor targets.
  
• Max/Min damage adjusted from 218/150 to 200/167
  
• Max/Min range adjusted from 100/75 to 85/10

Aspis Phalanx Turret (Anti-Aircraft)

• Can now pitch 10 additional degrees downward.

The shotgun reticule will now correctly show base spread of the weapon.

More than half of that looks like copypasta from a previous patch.

The body is ready: PS2 reported I'm now GPU bound. I can't recall the resolution for that... BUT WHO GIVES A SHIT AT 50-60 FPS.

we all owe van damn geek squad a beer for his assembly skills.

Vandam, did your brother actually learn how to install a third-party HSF so he can change his own diapers next time?

[FlyingMongoose]

I got the app, I'll let you guys know what I think.. so far the only real use I can see for it is the map feature so you don't take yourself out of the game. I want to get it for my tablet so it's more useful. It'd be cool if you could be logged into the map and set squad stuff, but that's unlikely. It's still kinda nifty though.

GU8 is out

Not sure if the new max-lancers are really worth it over comets, which were buffed in damage (along with the previous patch buffs in projectile speed and reload speed)

Max-lancer pros:

1. Can quickly spam damage if something needs killed quickly and doesn't have much health

2. Super fast projectile speed and as such great for long range against anything - air, infantry (kinda), ground. They work a lot like low-magazine size bursters too against air if you just spam them without charge

Max-comet pros:

1. Kills a vanguard from the side in about 16-17 seconds from full health, versus 24-25+ if using dual lancers

2. It's effectively half the cost in SC/certs because you don't have to buy two of them

3. The projectile speed is still pretty damn good... not good enough for air or far moving targets, but good enough for most engagements. Against infantry, kind of works well as a high damage lasher-esque weapon. With the super quick reload its also as if you never have to worry about reloading between shots.


The comet is simply better... and much cheaper. But yet the lancer-like weapon works great at long range, and against both air and ground because of how fast it is. Plus, FUCKING LASERS.

Overall the changes look good on paper.
