Huh? I just tried to log in and got the message "Your account is not authorized to access the game at this time."

Are they having trouble with their servers?

It's a lot faster than it was too. I can't really give HA advice but just get where the action is to get more certs.

Get the Resist nanite mesh generator (just the first level is fine, increasing it only makes it last longer. You'll get the full damage reduction even at first level). Then get the Nanoweave armor. Those are the only two "must have" items in my opinion- other things to get that are really helpful are the AA/skep launcher for utility, Reflex sights, and gun unlocks which cost a lot of cert points. TR's standard LMG is really good, so I wouldn't worry about gun unlocks unless you want either the chain gun (haven't tried it yet) or the Shotgun. I'm not 100% sure but I think if you unlock the shotgun it unlocks for all classes, which would be a huge bonus. Do not unlock the third LMG though, it's a waste of certs. The second one is decent but only marginally better than the first, I'd save the points towards something more expensive.

Don't forget to equip the unlocks you get... I made the mistake of thinking the armors were "upgrade" points and not completely new types of armor that needed to be equipped.

And to maximise cert gain, well its exp based so try to make exp :P. for example staying still for 10 minutes on a base waiting for the 500 exp its a total waste as in 10 minutes of gameplay you can get more exp from other sources while actually having some fun.

That AA rocket launcher is Heaven. Well, taking the heavens, at least. And a great sniper-gun :)

I'm still curious if the AA launcher has unlimited damage range or not. The SKEP AT launcher can only do damage out to its lock-on range unless you dumbfire it without scoping, which is really hard to aim for me since I usually rely on the ironsights as a guide.

What is up with upgrade availability on guns?

The EM1 gets high velocity ammo (better for longer range), yet it gets the short range scopes (2x, reflex).

The GD-22S gets soft point ammo (better for shorter range), yet it gets all the long range scopes (6x, 4x, no access to reflex).

I was really looking forward to trying out the GD-22S, but not being able to get a reflex scope really sucks. It's still a medium range weapon, so why doesn't it have a good medium range scope? 2x reflex scope would be great.

Might wind up being a waste of 240 certs.

-edit- Not being able to SEE what certs are available for a gun before you unlock it sucks too.

They got rid of the HV and soft-point ammo for the base TR LMG. I used to love that thing with soft-point, it would chew through flesh like a rabid pack of wolves... which is probably why it's gone.

During some casual wanderings on Indar, I found a fascinating new species of Anti-Gravity Cactus:

And there are ways to beat boredom, but this is the most awesome I saw, (also on Indar):

At the end of outfit operations we all do races like that. Usually to one of the other warpgates. Here's the last flash one I took part in. Sadly the person recording didn't get a look at how many of us there were.

Edit: this ones gives a better idea.

There's a new bug by the looks of it.
If you die, the launch pads that take you from tower to tower stop working.  You need to log-out and log back in to get them working again.

Well, went about as well as other games, flew around a bit, got shot down, went into 1V1 tank battle, got blown up.  Defended a base, got killed some but somehow got a headshot.  I need to get a better feel for how far the bullet drops on the sniper, and realize that the placeable turret is not a sniper substitute.
