1: NC

2: NC and TR

3: NC, TR and Vanu

Agreed. LA isn't HA without the rockets and with a jetpack. Their tactics are really different. Personally I enjoy playing HA most of all, altough getting a kill on an enemy vehicle because you placed AT mines on the raod to your base at a big battle is VERY satisfieing.

[Flying Dice]

Also, note that the run speed + cert for LA is nearly essential, especially if you go in for a hit-and-run style of play. Distracting enemies and drawing them away from the battle is possibly more effective than just killing them.

Killing them nets you more certs tough

[kaian-a-coel]

Those make you invulnerable to fall damage I think, atleast the few times I've missed them and recieved no damage from the fall.

I don't think so. You know the base in Indar that is only accessible via one of those? We were holding it, and an Engi put it turret on the receiver pad. Every single NC trying to get in impaled himself on it.

[Kanil]

They do make you immune to falling damage, that's pretty easy to figure out. Just use the LA's jump pack to redirect yourself after hitting a jumppad. No matter how fast you're going when you smack into the ground, you don't die.

Great way to get to places you couldn't normally jump jet to due to incoming fire/limited fuel -- I do it all the time.

[Flying Dice]

As I recall, they didn't always do that, as I had a number of painful splattery deaths when I missed the landing pad a few versions ago.

     It still happens.  Esamir {old} NC warpgate to the West-most tower will occasionally kill you, even jumping from the next tower to that west tower will ski-jump you off into the wilds.  Given up lodging bug-reports because nothing gets done about it.
     Even the Indar launch pad has problems, but still no action from SOE.

[miauw62]

That's really strange, especially for something that easy to fix.

[Flying Dice]

They're busy designing the next 1k cert/700 SC weapon. :V

[Jopax]

Or breaking stuff that still works :C

What do the vehicle pilots think of the new turret?  I enjoyed the extra challenge last night in my Magrider and have long thought the infantry vs armor balance was a little one-sided towards armor, so I think its a decent addition.  It had me repairing a lot more often, and being smarter about repairs.  However, I'm not happy with the extreme range on the things - while fighting in the fields outside TI Alloys, there were platoons of engineers at Crown very effectively sniping into the battle.  They weren't even visible under zoom, yet they were consistently hitting any armor that wasn't moving at mid to top speed.  That makes me wonder how the less agile tanks fare against these turrets.  They also seemed to totally obsolete the heavy's guided missile - no lock-on warning, higher damage, unlimited ammo, manual guidance that allow more precise hits and hits just behind cover.  About the only advantage the heavy's guided missile has is the ability to fire on the move / fire&forget. 

I think they could use a nerf to either the range, or more damage drop-off at longer ranges.  Since heavy and engineer are my two main classes, I see myself playing heavy a lot less now - engineer really has a stronger amount of diversity I think.

Tweak I found recently for improving FPS by forcing PhysX on if you are using a nVidia card that supports it.

Make sure you have the latest graphics drivers installed.

Post the following two lines at the end of the [Rendering] section of your UserOptions.ini

Code: [Select]

ForceGpuPhysics=1
GpuPhysics=1
For me at least this seems to keep frame rate much higher and keep it consistant when entering into larger battles.

Thanks for the tip, sadly I'm running an nVidia 8600M GS, which

And since all GeForce 8 Series GPUs are designed to support Windows Vista™ you can rest assured that you'll be enjoying your notebook PC well into the future.

On the other hand, it turns out the Vanu 100-cert bolt-action sniper rifle kinda sucks. Any ideas where to take those 100 certs? I'm thinking sundie armor or some weapon modifications (I have standard weapons for all classes)

Do you have the Sunderer resupply module unlocked?  That one eventually pays for itself.

[TolyK]

Huh, does that really get that many points? I typically play near The Crown, it doesn't seem like there are too many vehicles there usually...

There's also the problem that you can't stack the dispenser with blockade armor, which is what I plan on eventually getting.
Or should I just wait for 50 more certs?
