I love the buggy...though I seem to get myself killed in it more than enemies kill me

Yeah it flips over and goes boom on me alot

But I raked up a crap load of kills with a Bulldog in one last night

Roorah · 03-05-2013 01:08PM

The 84mm on the buggy is deadly, and not the awesome way if you're on the other end..... I came up against 6 buggys with it. My lightning was down in about 3/4 shots.

Replace 6 buggies (12/18 people) with 12 ESF, 12 Lightenings etc.

The more I see it in play the less I think the buggy will have any permanent effect on the meta game; the third seat can't hit anything short of standing still (removes whole point of the buggy) and the weapons on top can't beat what a ESF/Lightening/MBT/Lib bring instead (first two at same resource cost!). About the only thing left is transport from A to B but a Sundy or Galaxy does that better (Sundy when you arrive, more armor & hp) and/or faster (No terrain to flip on).

iIt makes grabbing amp stations a hell of a lot easier thats for sure, get 4 buggies in to the main bay when the shields are up, hack out a sundy and hold it down, and before you mention juyst using a sundy to do it. The sundy is just too slow, and a major target... managed to grab peris last night with just 3 squads while they were hammering regent rock with a couple of platoons, we only encountered resistance in the last 20 seconds before the cap, did the same thing to vanu at mau tech plant.

I dont see em making a massive impact on the battlefield, but the fact that they can be pulled from every base with a ground vehical station means they are very handy for running squad support.

Sony offers until end of the month the 3 month subscription for $9.99 a month (same as 12 month subscription cost per month) charged quarterly AND locking in that price until you change subscription plan again. Keeping in mind the fact you get 500SC a month as long as you're subscribed (if you cancel subscription at any time you lose that benefit; you need to be on automatic renewal) and the passive cert bonus (up to 48 certs per 24h) it's a great deal in my book (esp. as I was on the 6 month plan at 11.99 previously).

Nody · 04-05-2013 10:11AM

Got my first ESF hate tell this morning; yay!

The guy complained I used A2A missiles (first time I've taken them for a spin) and ended up ramming him to death :P

Nody · 05-05-2013 08:53PM

VS (Miller) now have an official theme song! All you fascists (TR) and gun crazed commercial hippies (NC) should have this playing in your head as you die :P

Sarky · 05-05-2013 09:07PM

... and that's how the TR and NC settled their differences and joined forced to exterminate every last Vanu on the planet.

I must say, the Harasser is very aptly named. In skilled hands it's the most annoying thing I've ever encountered in the game.

on another note...a vanu buggy race on woodman

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfM58AEQiCs

(if the link doesn't work, i'll fix it later)

There were lots of casualties... some from TR while crossing the front lines, a lot more from terrain:eek:

Monty - the one and only · 08-05-2013 09:27AM

TR players will appreciate this

Sarky · 09-05-2013 08:46PM

While I do like the "For teh EMPRAH!" feel of the TR hat, There's just something more badass about the NC one.

Also, SOE have it made now. They realised why TF2 was so successful and they're muscling in on the hat market.

Monty - the one and only · 09-05-2013 09:26PM

todays patch notes

New in The Depot:
Harasser Tire Spikes and Hubcaps are now available!

Lumifber should now appear correclty on the Harasser.
The Stats Miscellaneous tab will now display ribbons.
The Horn bundle contents have been clarified so it’s clear which vehicles they are for.
Disabled concussion and flash grenades in VR Training
Camo should no longer cover too much on the new MAX helmets.
Fixed large bridge support beam that wasn’t rendering correctly.
Harasser Nanite Auto Repair System Cert tooltips have been corrected.
Flash Performance Cert tooltips fixed
VS MAX Vortex balance tweaks have been made:
Increase damage fall off start range by 100 meters (300-400)
Increased charge 1 damage from 85 to 105
Increased charge 2 damage from 200 to 245
Increased charge 3 damage from 415 to 490
Loadouts and Certifications should no longer be reset after leaving VR training.

vanu will be happy

Nody · 09-05-2013 09:41PM

No Vanu will not be happy because the issue with the Vortex is it got worse accuracy then a MAX shotgun with out slug ammo (i.e. effective range is <20m); I'd buy dual of the TR or NC once directly if given the option instead.

It does look pretty badass and very NC. The TR design looks cool as a hat but I think it will look awful ingame.

BTW I love the 5000 cert points I got for free on both my VS and TR characters after the patch

Fenix · 11-05-2013 01:18AM

Anyone else have a problem with this game crashing a lot? Wasn't too bad for a while then tonight I've had maybe 8/9 crashes. Sometimes I can play for 2 hours no problem, sometimes 5 minutes. Incredibly annoying. Also, every time I exit the game the normal way, it says Planetside 2 has stopped working etc etc.

To be honest its really ruining a game that I was beginning to get really in to.

Nody · 11-05-2013 07:40AM

Do you have the GPU physics enabled? That one sent me crashing like mad even after they made it "officially" available again.

Yea I do! Never thought of turning it off even! Ill give it a try when I get back from work! Does it have much affect on gfx quality if its off?

Cheers Nody.

It makes the sparklies not look like a reversed water for the jump pads etc. but it's not a huge change.

I tend to live longer without it...as I dont get distracted by the pretty explosions...:)

Cravez · 17-05-2013 09:14AM

Is there a boards group who play this together online? Wouldn't mind jumping on for a game at somepoint as I'v been mainly playing solo which isn't as fun.

I think we're pretty spread out to be honest; for example my mains are on Miller VS side (which means I get to shot Sarky though I can't ever recall getting the chance so far

) while others are on other servers.

Probably true; I tend to die a lot anyway (hey someone has to catch the enemies bullets, right?!)

Sarky · 17-05-2013 10:21PM

If you ever see the MFLC tag you can take some solace in having shot someone who at least knows me IRL?

Nody · 19-05-2013 06:58PM

Yay I've gotten so good at PS2 that I'm apparently cheating (or so does the pissed of BR78 ESF pilot think after I shot him down with my new shiny Striker; hands down the most fun and OP of all Empire specific weapons as a side note)!

Yea the striker is way OP, so get the most out of it before the inevitable nerf! Also, never used them but Fracture max's absolutely rape me, dreading what they will be like with lockdown

Dev's are TR!!!
