So I jumped in to a Harasser on a whim and the turret weapon was godly.

Nobody expects the C85 Canister.

I just bought the PPA for my Harasser. Very first spawn, 1/3, no driver... parked it outside a base. 46 kills later, some LA finally got sick of me and blew me up. Let's see your Canister do that.

I knew it was easy, but I never imagined it was that easy...

All of the PPA weapons are freaking nuts. At least you have to aim with most guns...

I am actually of the opinion, having run around solo with a magrider + PPA, that the VS are horribly overpowered when not simply outzerged. Our tanks can get to places they never should be able, our heavy weapon isn't just a more powerful version of the basic gun and does something unique, our special rocket launcher is hitscan, and our spandex is one size fits all.

Had the same thing happen on my first PPA experience. Granted, the clip size was nerfed since then - but that hardly touches what makes it so ridiculous. The PPA blows away every other ESAI weapon so hard that you can't even compare them without feeling sorry for the others.

I maxed out triage. I've gotten a grand total of 19xp from it since I maxed it out, from healing people who were repairing a sunderer under attack. It wouldn't be so bad if it were cheaper but 1350 certs is a steep price to do nothing you couldn't do without it.

At least it's less useless than Ammo Belt for Engineer. I've decided to completely cert out every infantry class as fully as possible (weapons excluded) so at some point I'm going to have to get that too.

I read on the PS2 forums that there was a tweet or livestream hidden in the depths of twitter where a dev said the TR Vulcan is being switched to being the Anti infantry secondary due to the difficulty of balancing it as an AV weapon and the Marauder will be switch with it to be the AV weapon. The Vulcan will be like a tank mounted Banshee and the Marauder a tank mounted Fracture.

Supposedly Higby said it on his stream.

What I really wish SOE would do is just make the Vulcan accurate. Then it would be a passable AV gun and it would give the gunner something to do while the Prowler is Anchored 500m away from everything. There's already the Shredder, which is rapid-fire long-range gun that shoots armor-piercing bullets, fires at 800 rpm, has no drop or CoF bloom, and Liberators can fire into a lot more crevices than Prowlers can, and nobody complains about how OP the Shredder is (or maybe they do) so I don't see why they couldn't give the Vulcan Shredder or near Shredder accuracy.

[Toaster]

I'll admit that it's pretty clear they have issues balancing it, since right after its big buff a few months ago, I was nearly dropped by a single one while riding a Galaxy.


As far as the Shredder goes, it may be great, but a lot of people want to run the Dalton for AA work (as much logical sense as that makes.)

[Ozyton]

I don't think I've seen a single lib use a shredder since shortly after release...

Now that the Valk is nearly upon us... I'm finding myself much less enthusiastic about it than I initially was. I guess I'll wait and see how it fares in a few months after things are 'more in line'.

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE A MOCKUP

[Ozyton]

Looks kinda neat, would rather the map be a square though. I also like having bars on the edges of the crosshair for ammo, energy, and health like it is now, and I kinda like the hud info in the center the way it is in the central hud. Might just be because I'm used to it though.

I would also like to have a topographical map instead of the textured one...

I was killed by a shredde lib some months ago when flying a ESF. I saw the lib going for me and decided to dodgy by ABins under him hoping that he won gryt to shoot me with its main gun.
And i was set on fire from 100% hp.

Whne i got to see the death reccap screen i was stunned because apparently his shredder dealt 97% damage to me. And mind you i was flying past him in a ABing Maxed racer mossie with fully certed fuel tanks.
And no no idea how this happened... i just guess shredder gets some freaky damage against ESFs.

[Rex_Nex]

Sometimes shots lock up and all register at once, particularly if the other player was lagging. Coulda been what happened.

        Horizontal min/max recoil increased from 0.19125/0.19125 to 0.225/0.225

A CARV with SPA? Oh, man, I might have to give the gun a shot.

An Orion with unlimited ammo and SPA? I think I am going to hate this gun.

[Aklyon]

It sounds like they added the heat mechanics to all the VS directive rewards except the sniper rifle.

[Ozyton]

As long as you're in a fight with even one engineer who doesn't have his head up his ass you generally don't have ammo concerns.
