So what does that leave it with?

A sniper rifle that does AV damage, and thus will be able to kill tanks from such a range that the shooter will not render (and thus literally be undamagable by the tank even if you get a direct hit where they are).

Remember old AV mana turrets? Remember getting bombed by invisible missiles constantly? yeah... it's that, but on a highly mobile unit that can turn invisible.

If that's not enough, I don't know what is.

[TolyK]

I'm sure that they just said that was a bug...

I think they should have explosive rounds (small explosion)...

[DJ]

AV capabilities could still be made to work if it was small amount of damage that only worked before the damage dropoff begins. Without this and the shotgun, it's just another superfluous bolt action.

[zombat]

With a really high bullet velocity which means it has little drop and requires little leading

It'll still be the best sniper rifle

[DJ]

That sounds more like something that VS should have.

[Toaster]

Isn't theirs no-drop anyway?  I haven't been on test server.

Also, changes to WDS have been announced.  TLDR, it sucks and they know it, so they're swapping defend and attack points, and also tweaking the values for certain facilities (notably biolabs are worth a lot less now.)

They're also looking at 4th factioners (about six months too late, but at least they're doing it) and considering a handicap value for global pop.  Honestly, as much hate as SOE gets, I think they honestly want to listen to the players and the changes, once they happen, are typically in the right direction.


It's a good thing too, because my outfit is seriously considering things such as playing on PTS or Miller (we're Mattherson) since the fights at home are pretty crap.



Also they're saying they'll give better rewards when they get the WDS rules worked out, so there's that.

[TolyK]

Whoo, they're doing stuff. Late, but stuff.
And they listened to Wrel's suggestions on swapping the points. XD

And come on to Miller, we have funzies and underpopulated VS... >.>

I always thought PS1's empire incentives were enough. You got escalating XP bonuses based on how underpopulated your empire was. I'd often just jump on whichever side had the best bonus and hit instant action.

That's the often-unmentioned 5th faction. We're the Good guys (and we get more xp)

Other people do this too? I was fairly certain I was in the minority.

And yeah I'm always looking for those xp bonuses.

[TolyK]

Meanwhile, I typically hop in where I get less lag.

[forsaken1111]

I always get a little thrill when I blow up a full galaxy or sundy and see the xp scrolling across the screen. o.o

VS was indeed the suggested faction.  Too bad it'd be ~10-11 PM EST, which is approximately late as hell European times.

[TolyK]

3 in the morning for England (5 AM for me) is just fine.

Though I don't think you would find ANY good fights that early/late.

[DJ]

If you'+re in Europe Woodman is a nice and fairly balanced server. VS have KotV, a 3k+ members outfit, and NC outfits have started to cooperate lately so there's usually good fights. TR used to do well too, but for reasons unknown to me they've been sucking a lot in the past few weeks.
