Didn't manage to get a chance to get on today, but have a useful thread I found over on the planetside forums.

Just a quick hint to anyone stuck in a 1v1 vs the VS Magrider. It's lack of a turret means the best tactic is instead to rush your tank at then, and then circle around their side as they turn. If you do it right you won't ever wind up in their crosshairs once you close the distance.

Seems I'm now able to go and play PS2. I'll have to start downloading things over night.

VS. Perfect! Hopefully I'll get a good connection on that server then.

Yeah. Sorry about that. On Metis, the factions are really well balanced, and my outfit always has at least a full squad in the field, often more. Much less downtime.

Oh no... Not the pain fields again!

I was hoping they'd be able to avoid that this time around... Oh well. It wasn't that big a deal in the first game, but it made hacking more annoying.
 Oh wait, hacking is barely in now isn't it?

They aren't using pain fields in the way they were used before. No, they are going to put them in so that a defensive force cannot continue to camp a spawn room even after losing the location.

Auraxium does buy you small advantages. Faster reload, changing weapons, XP gain, and similar. So in a sense you can pay to make gaining certs easier.

This is not different from the established big name F2P games which are not known as Pay to Win.

That's fair enough and I'm not complaining about how it works. I was just commenting on where you said:

Quote
Certs are not gainable by RL money. Only Auraxium purchases will be. Auraxium purchases are all side grades.

When Auraxium purchases do get you certs, if slightly indirectly, and do buy you advantages.

Nice to see these issues being dealt with.

Also, further down the page Higby has commented that they are going to be adding new secondary objective mechanics in next weeks patch.

Nice.
I hope they spread gun damage a bit more. I usually dont feel in advantage as heavvy assault. But that could also be a effect of me generally sucking at shooting.

Having 3-4 times as much in the magazine, being able to destroy tanks and a slightly better shield is not good enough for you?
the classes have their thing and the current weapons is average for the class.

OP, could you please put up a poll wether to move to another server or not?
