Wasn't saying it's underpowered or anything. Repair seems fine as well. One person can outheal one HA to the point where HA runs out of rockets. If he's not shooting your sunderer or whatever in the ass. Let alone if you've got armor certed on your vehicle.

So I played a little bit and like it, I'm a big fan of the BF series so it's pretty similar, of course with some big differences. My one complaint is when I die, whenever I respawn I'm like way out of the battle and have to go all the way back. Am I just completely missing something? I'm aware of the option where you can spawn with another drop pod but I'm only able to do it once every 10 minutes or so. But it gets kinda annoying trying to find the closest base to where I died and spawning there again when I die, only to have to run all the way back to the fight.

Edit: Also, I'm using the name GoShox on Waterson, feel free to add me.

The travel distance is like that for a reason. Spawn logistics plays a huuuuuge role in the game. Battles are basically won based on which side's AMS Sunderers are found and killed first. Also, learn what the vehicle terminal looks like on your minimap - you can spawn a Flash every 5 minutes.

Revive really doesn't stay on par with kills for xp/certs. Specially if you're getting vehicle kills.

Sure it does. You just have to find the meatgrinders. You also make certs 10x as fast when you're fully certed.

I'm having a lot of fun in this game playing with a few friends. I just wish the other continents were more populated without having to switch servers.

Made an account on Mattherson.

I suppose I'll go medic, since I'm bad at fighting.

Just certed into the TR Cycler T1S and the grenade launcher. This thing is damn amazing.

The double xp weekend has been very fruitful for me. I've gotten over a thousand certs over the past two days.

This game is really growing on me. I'm on Waterson w/ a level 9 account, but the guy that's the head of the TL outfit hasn't accepted my request yet, is there a server with more active TL'ers that all work together?

guys do you know if all the shenanigans in the useroptions (render distance especiallsy) to boost fps worsen the dynamic infantry rendering problem?

Nothing in any options will effect infantry rendering. All of that shit is completely dependant on what is happening in game and how planetside 2 is coded to handle it. They say they're coming with a fix for it relatively soon.

Shhh don't tell everyone

Also don't tell them what happens when you use this as an engineer with ammo packs

Wish I would have picked up the VS equivalent before yesterday afternoon. I only got to run around with it for a couple hours during double xp weekend.

Nerf...boosts and premium?

I think it's pretty well-established that you can get good certs/hr with a wide range of activities, but some are more consistent than others, some rely on player skill more than others, etc.

edit: Not trying to sound salty, that's a great session.

Just installing the game right now. From the trailer the game looked pretty cool. Excited to try it out.

How in hell did you manage to get that many kills in 40 min :s. I play on Miller and most of the time we get crushed by swarms of tanks/figthers/ zerg of infantry. If I get a 2:0 k/d/a i'm already very happy.

Achieving that many kills isn't particularly hard if you're shelling an enemy zerg from a tank or lib.

@GoShox most people have been really busy in it I guess, I never saw anyone the whole double XP weekend so late Sunday I ended up joining a super organized clan called Toxin Raiders. Friendly guys, and as soon as I joined and hopped in we had some of the most memorable experiences I've had yet. Hopped on and rolled as engineer (probably my favorite class at the moment), climbed a Sunderer up a huge mountain in Esamir (VS on Waterson) then deployed. The MAX's all had anti air, so we destroyed everything in the sky for like 30-40 minutes, with me resupplying and repairing like a madman. Squad MAX resupply with double XP is 40 xp every time they grab some more ammo, way better than I was making solo. Anyhow super memorable experiences and a whole lot more fun than flying solo.
