Well I've only got one character, and I think as soon as I hopped on there was only one US East server, so it's probably that one.  I can delete/make new to accommodate new servers.  I'll try Miller, I s'pose.

I hate Magriders...  Those things just annoy me.  Tanks.  That strafe.  Apparently it's a running NC joke - "VS Battle tactics: Magrider gets destroyed -> log out."  Although apparently VS has some sort of anti-armor rifle or something.  At least I think it is.  When I'm tanking around the Crown, it's always VS on the other side of the bridge, and I get a solid WHAM to the hull and take damage.  There's no tracer lines or anything, so I have no idea what's going on, but apparently they've got like 50 cal pounding rifles or something...

Also yeah, zerg rushes rarely work for anything.  Would love to get in some organized play!

I know what you're talking about and have no idea what it actually is, but it isn't VS-only. There'd be even more OMG VS OP whining on the official forums if it was.

I need to know what this weapon is, because it's ridiculous at pounding tank armor.

I think its actually a rendering bug with the rockets, where the flare and smoke trail fails to render.

That was my guess, because it was often preceded by a lockon telltale.

Not only that, but I've only seen it happen during really intense fights, the same ones that cause the rendering logic to get all screwy.\

EDIT: Also, for your sanity, just avoid the official forums, that place is a cancer. PSU is marginally better.

For the "pounding gun", I'd say it is the Magrider secondary, the infamous Saron laser gun. A second delay before fire (which make it nigh impossible to aim while moving), but a heavy hit with very high velocity, small bullet and almost no drop. Clip of one. And very little splash.

In other news, I just bought the Solstice SF (vanu carbine) underbarrel grenade launcher! woo! I'll try to get the x4 scope next and I'll switch guns definitively.

It's not, both because (as I mentioned above) I've had it happen repeatedly to me as VS, and because the Saron leaves a very visible trail.

Solstice SF + ammo packs and a good camping spot is about the most annoying I've ever been in this game, I think.

My most annoying is a Bolt Action with a 12x scope and a cooperative render distance. I must be 10 pixels tall to the guys I was shooting XD

[Flying Dice]

Good luck with that.

[Twiggie]

oh man, just saw a whole platoon of reavers dive bomb the shit out of a few bases, that was hilarious

then i got in a lib and accidentally jumped out at 500m, leaving my gunner to die  :<

[kaian-a-coel]

the Saron leaves a very visible trail.

Well, I was always shooting it, but I was under the impression that, while the mag' main gun and generally all VS rockets leave a shiny blue trail, the saron itself does not. To be confirmed.

[Girlinhat]

Regardless.  I've got a Miller NC character, to prove I can connect.  Serious connecting drag, but once connected it seems to run fine.  Either way, where's the squad and where can I start shooting stuff?

Also my 'main' is on Jaeger or somesuch.

[Jopax]

I've got a TR on Miller, will be fun hunting you guys down eventually

@Twiggie

That happens to a lot of people, your best bet is to remap the disembark key for aircraft to something that's slightly out of way (U for me) so it doesn't happen on accident

[Toaster]

I moved my key to avoid an accidental exit.



Then died because I couldn't get out of the Galaxy in time, as I flailed away on the E key.  D'oh.

[sluissa]

can't count the number of times a quick entry to a vehicle saved me as I was getting shot... I'll leave my e key right where it is...
