Separate turret and aircraft sensitivity means I can now fly reasonably well .

Wow, this patch was a massive nerf to the char I've been playing haha.

Resist shield significantly weakened (not sure exactly how much, but a tank shell wiped me out with it on when before I could survive one with around half health, so I'm thinking it's way weaker) and my favorite LMG the GD-22 had its damage cut down significantly too.

Used to gun people down in ~10-12 hits, now it seems to take 15-20. Now I'm finding that I run out of ammo after killing two people and wind up getting killed while reloading since the reload is so slow. It used to have the appeal of a bit more DPS (same damage, slightly faster fire rate) at the cost of a significantly reduced magazine size so that you have to reload more. Now it seems about equivalent in DPS (maybe a little more), lower magazine size, and less damage per bullet so that you run out of ammo even faster. Even if it is a bit more DPS, spending half of your time reloading the gun isn't really worth it.

Guess I might go back to the basic SAW, it got a 10% fire rate nerf and lowered recoil recovery, but still has the full damage and double the ammo clip of the GD-22, plus it has the capability of fitting the reflex sight and the double ammo magazines. Or maybe I'll give the EM1 a try, it used to have too much recoil to really make the fast fire rate useful - they reduced recoil on it supposedly. It fires even faster than the GD-22, but with the cert it can hold 200 rounds instead of 50.

Damnit the update fucked with my joystick controls, I ended up bouncing off a thunderer and into an nc liberator in my mosquito!!!

However, it's still pretty awesome, some more conceptual stuff is cool, but I haven't gotten to try the new continent yet.

[timferius]

Good lord, you guys are never online when I am! Am I the only person with nothing better to do thank play videogames on a saturday night?

[Darkening Kaos]

Sunday afternoon for me, plus I'm still waiting for this damned patch to download.

@Paul;
Was saving up my certs for GD-22, but it looks like I don't need to bother now, already wasted some on the bonus rocket, before I realised I had to take off the nano-weave armour to have an extra rocket.  It's a pain having only 5 for the AA Rocket Launcher, but it's all !fun!

Just excuses really. They should put us on one global timezone, solve all our problems...

Every patch I think "Oh wow, great idea", such as overheating repair-guns. But then the client keeps crashing and I think "Fuck You PS2".

[miauw62]

Please tell me that mediguns dont overheat.

[Mini]

It specifically says the repair gun, and I would assume that the intent of that was to stop a small number of engineers from stopping an out of proportion number of tanks/whatever from destroying sunderers, so I reckon you're pretty safe as a medic.

[DarkAnt]

Hey, do any of you fine gents have a spare beta key that I may have?

Edit: Never mind, i'm good

[bluejello]

So, anyone in the USwest NC outfit on? Tureth is my IGN if someone is on who can invite me into the outfit.

[Doomblade187]

Just got into the beta via a buddy key that I used for myself after I got accepted, but received no key. But anyway, I'm in. While I'm waiting for the client to finish up, any tips on the three factions, etc.?

[miauw62]

You only recieve a key when you buy alpha squad.

NC ALL THE WAY!

[TheBronzePickle]

I find that the quality of the fighters in the NC and TR vary heavily. The only constant is Vanu, who all suck horribly until they can muster up enough numbers to actually win.

Meh, I can wait. It's not like I mind. (FG&R has basically replaced my gaming these day, I'll admit.) Either way, I still have to download at some point.
