SOE recently broke something with the MANA AV turret. It doesn't render, like, at all. Before some patch (I haven't been in a tank in a while) the AV turret would reliably render, even at long range in heavy fights, and I could shoot back. Just now I could see missiles materialize in thin air somewhere on the order of 150m to 200m away but I could not retaliate because the turret did not render.

Mind you I could take pot shots at heavies, medics, infiltrators, MAXes, light assaults, and engineers not on turrets on the very same ridge several invisible, incorporeal AV turrets were shooting me from.

So I said this is dumb and quit.

Ironically, they nerfed the AV turret explicitly to prevent being shot from AV turrets that weren't even rendering for you.

I swear they will never fix that thing to some balanced state. Should have never put it in the game to begin with.

I think it should just cost infantry resources. Would make the other turret a viable choice, too.

200 certs! Is 1 brick C4 worth it? Just to irritate vehicles. Or kill infantry. Engineer. Or at mines or ap mines? Or just engi tool and vehicle upgrades?

Psst. Been having fun in VR with heavies sitting on the back of ghost flashes :). Someone, try it!

Yeah, just save it for damaged vehicles. If it's smoking, one brick should be enough. But you should be getting it for LA, since it's the best class for making the delivery.

I'd upgrade the engineer and medic tools before getting C4. You'll have a lot more opportunity to use those than the C4 brick.

It helps The Team more in any case, if that's something you care about.

I'll upgrade the engi tool a bit then. But C4 it is.

We're preparing for a scrim on Saturday against a TR outfit on Connery.

We lost. :(

And all the recordings I tried to make ended up as garbled junk.

And on the live servers everybody's gone full retard with the WDS nonsense.

Overall, not a good night for Planetside 2.

Oh, how I love it when my internet fails and gives me dialup speeds... which sometimes lets me shoot people behind corners and such before I realize that it failed and stop "cheating". :P

I haven't been playing planetside recently but I hear World Domination Series basically turned the meta as bad as it could possibly be.

No one defends territories and huge mega zergs of 4+ platoons sitting on empty bases capping up to the enemy warpgate while they do the same to you, because defending isn't worth points and attacking is, assault empty bases in an endless circlejerk until whoever can ghost cap the hardest (i.e. at night when no ones on) wins.
