Wait... SINGLE use camo?
You mean... use it once and it's GONE once you respawn?

That's... that's just a straight up joke.

Yeeeeep.  They used to sell it, but took it out of market because it was so uselessly terrible.

Can someone explain what the WDS thing is to someone like me who hasn't logged in for about a week?

No, it's gone once you unequip it. It was great if you were the type that found a camo you liked and never changed it, but with one misclick it was gone (which was a big reason why it was removed).

A waste of time, designed to turn good fights into zerg cluster-Fs.

Also this for a bit more complete answer.

Clicked link, winced at bad cosplay, still confused.

Retardation incarnate.

Speaking of something else that's retarded, have any adjustments been made to NCs antimaterial rifle yet?

Let's see if I got this right:
Only one faction can use it
It damages tanks
It kills maxes
It does higher than bolt action damage
Its semi auto
It has an alternative firemode, which is a shotgun

All the above on something that can turn near invisible

[forsaken1111]

I think they adjusted the name to "Freedom Rifle".

TLDR is to hit tab and look at the new bar that's there.  Attacking or defending a base gives WDS points depending on the size of the base and how long it's been held (3 for a fresh outpost up to 100 to a long-held major facility).  Top empire each server gets a prize for each week and at season end (3 weeks).  Each player gets a (usually crappy) prize each week at 200, 800, and 2000 points.

The system, as designed, encourages ghost capping and staying at a base long after the fight is over.

I don't see a bugfix listed for this yet, but apparently they don't document every PTS change made.

I'm pretty sure that they just used the M60 Canister damage type accidentally or something.
Meanwhile, I'm saving up 1k certs to possibly get the new VS rifle - the concept seems pretty damn cool, but I dunno how it will work out in practice.

I laughed at the fact that it's bad cosplay in a promo photoshoot in front of a green screen... and then they didn't bother replacing the green screen with an actual background and just left it. That pretty much sums up SOE in a nutshell.

[palsch]

Erm, those are shots from the filming of this video.

Embrace the cheese.

[Sordid]

Well then why didn't they just use shots from the finished version that has a background? 

[TolyK]

Eh, video's good enough for a game dev team and not a professional filming crew.

it's going to lose that shotgun firemode, just didn't work out. getting higher velocity primary shot, more of a pure railgun

(Also this)

the AV dmg on the NC secondary fire mode is a bug, actually. Left over from an earlier implementation where it was an AV secondary

[DJ]

So what does that leave it with?
