Making you waste a bunch of grenades to break a spawn camp is still a good tactic, though. More grenades used = less resources for sunderers and spawn beacons

Still, that's rather epic. Can't wait till I have enough time to run with squads again.

I have something like 60 grenades stored away. Every time you hit max Yellows buy beacons and grenades. You will never run out.

Anybody on ATM?
Watching crash course, and i wonder if its worth starting up PS2 or if i should just go TF2.

Wow, big news from the Higsmeister (bad joke/name?)

Hey all -

As some of you have fondly noted, the cost for certain certs in the game are a bit out of whack right now. We're in the middle of a big certification rebalance which will be up on beta with next week's push. This will affect cert prices as well as cert point accumulation rates.

With tonight's patch we will be re-enabling passive cert point gain and for the next week we will be cranking the rate of the gain up quite a bit. We're doing this so that we can test a lot of the higher level certs which are impossible to acquire right now with the current costs and cert point acquisition rates. I want to be clear that this weeks passive cert point rate is ABSOLUTELY NOT indicative of our final rate, it's juiced way up.

Now for the painful part - with next week's patch and certification point rebalance we will be doing a character wipe. Next week's patch is going to be really exciting, we'll be adding Esamir to the game as well as ungating almost all of the remaining certs and solidifying cert point costs across the board. So this week, enjoy the fast cert point gain, try out lots of certs and let us know what works well, what works too well, and what doesn't work at all.

Looking forward to seeing your feedback and finally getting that Nanoweave armor...

TL:DR = Rebalancing certs next week (hence high costs). Cranking passiver cert gain with tonights patch to test high level certs over the next week. Next patch equas character wipe, Esamir (new continent) and most of the other certs (and again, cert rebealance)

[Sensei]

Well, looks like we'll be reassembling the outfit yet again soon.

[Metalax]

Yes, I was honestly surprised that there had been so few wipes so far. Are we going to stick to Leda or go for another server?

There was some information that Easimir would be on seperate servers initially, but that was when it was going to be in this weeks patch, so they may have worked out the warpgate issues that were stopping them being on the same server.

Have to see what the passive cert gain is like following the wipe, it has taken almost all week with an average of 5-6 hours a day in order to have rail/barrel/sight for one weapon, a couple of suit modifiers for one class and a couple of really cheap certs on the sunderer with the current rate of cert gain.

[Volatar]

Awww, right when I finally got Skyguard again. 

[Silent_Thunder]

Well with the passive cert announcement, I can now guarantee that I will be dumping TONS of certs into the Sunderer. Dunno why, I just find driving that little doomtruck around fun.

EDIT: Also with the pop balance shenenigans, I'm suggesting we wait and see a day or two before reforming the outfit for this run, see which east server has a nice balance.

[timferius]

Remember, xp boost, XXxxxxpppppp

[Silent_Thunder]

Assuming faction numbers stay the same after the wipe, I personally feel we should move to Themisto. It seems as if it has one of the more balanced spreads on the three factions, however I still STRONGLY feel we need to wait a day or two to decide on a server after the wipe because of the population imbalance. Anyone who doesn't know what the problem is, THIS was our server earlier today.

And I thought it was bad on Chaldene.

What with the cert change it should be a pretty crazy weekend.

[Metalax]

Patch notes are up.

NC guns are more accurate and HA rockets accelerate faster, and firing immediately after reloading doing no damage has been fixed, so should hopefully improve things for the HA's.
Flashbangs and concussion grenades are now in, so LA's can now be really annoying.
MAX's now get one burster for free, so we get some AA without having to store up auraxium for a week.

edit: ok servers are up and just logged in and... 4096 certs??? I know they were increasing the rate and everything but they hadn't said anything about this.

edit2: it seems cert gain is 1 cert every 20 seconds...

[Rez]

Are you a founder or whatever?

[Volatar]

No the cert gain is for everyone.
