I was very disappointed in this game, I didn't enjoy it very much at all

[SalmonGod]

Though of course most/all VS weapons don't suffer from bullet drop.

You're the second person I've heard say this, and I have no idea where this info is coming from.  I've done many hours of sniping for VS already, and I can tell you there is definitely bullet laser drop (as little sense as that makes).  I would get waaaaay more headshots if I didn't have to compensate for bullet drop.  I could maybe believe that we don't suffer as much bullet drop as the other factions, but it's still definitely there.

So umm... where exactly are we on EU, and how do I actually get into the outfit? I finally have some free time to play this what with uni having a holiday break coming and all. I got damn bored in the beta but I assume some outfit shenanigans might actually make this fun.

VS has no bullet drop on any gun except the bolt action sniper rifle. Having no bullet drop on that would be amazingly good, so they made an exception for it. At least as far as I've heard.

Keep playing. It seems to be a dissapointment for most people when they first play, but if you just continue long enough to get the hang of it, you'll think about it alot differently.

Vanu sniper rifles definatly have bullet drop, but significantly less. Still for extreme shots you're going to have to compensate.
That said with increased bullet velocity the fastest vanu sniper rifle's bullet drop is all but neglible.
I think the same applies to the damage drop off, faster bullet less dropoff. I could be mistaken though.

The default sniper rifle isn't bolt action, and it drops also.

For some reason I've lost enough performance in this game that it's nearly unplayable. For a while, I thought it was Amerish, because since I'd gone over there, things just slowed to a crawl anytime I was in a battle, or near a big facility. Esamir never gave me that problem. But then I went back to Indar last night and things were still jerky just at the warp gate. I'll try Esamir againt today. Perhaps its snowy whiteness just meshes well with my old computer hardware and I'll be stuck playing there. (With VS having that continent locked down most of the time...)

On the bright side, I did manage to get a few good kills in a lightning while part of a squad convoy last night, while on Amerish. Finished off a prowler. A couple of sunderers, a few infantry before finally getting killed by a liberator. Even that, I was shooting close enough with the stock gun to chase it off a few times, never hit, but probably scared them just a bit. Soon as I turned my back though, they found a good angle and I couldn't touch them.

I normally play at 62-65FPS but this weekend has brought me down to a harsh 25-40fps which I think correlates to high population for the bonus xp event.

[Knight of Fools]

I've had to lower my settings so that I can actually fight. It's pretty rough, 'cause now I don't get the pretty shafts of light through trees effect when the sun's setting.

[SalmonGod]

The easiest way to get more FPS, it seems, is to lower the Render Quality slider.  I have mine at 75%, and terrain and texture quality turned way down.

Just went and turned them down even more.  Good framerate makes such a huge difference in gameplay.

I believe that they added bullet drop to the VS snipers (for obvious reasons), but in all other cases it wouldn't make sense to give them both bullet drop and damage dropoff at range; the latter was meant to counter the former.

Does anyone use MAX any more?  I played the hell out of the Scattercannon NC MAX in PS1, but hardly anyone mentions them here...

[hemmingjay]

MAX is great for 2 things right now.

1) It makes the best AA in the game right now with dual bursters

2) x2 scatter cannons are great when you finally drop the enemy base shield and run in to mop up.

I actually found, weirdly enough, that cranking all settings up to max using useroptions.ini got me more fps. It kind of makes sense if it pushes some stuff onto the GPU and frees the CPU up to process all the movements of other players.

So if you have a good GPU, try increasing your graphics settings, it's definitely worth a shot.
