That vehicle projectile alignment change. My first dozen shots are going to stray to the left until my brain figures out that the shells will now go where the crosshairs say they will.

Oh what the hell, I bought the grinder and was charged 500 certs for it. Time to send in a ticket, I guess that'll teach me for clicking twice on "buy with certs".

Yeah it is listed as 250, I'm assuming I got charged twice cause I clicked buy two times cause nothing happened after my first click. I really hope SOE doesn't do their "sorry we don't refund certs" thing :\

EDIT: Sweet they refunded me the extra 250 I was charged :unsmith:

Looking forward to having the new weapon models be in the real game. Yet another reason to enjoy the AMC. :unsmith: However, that vehicle projectile change is going to gently caress with me something fierce. I've gotten really good at placing my Lightning HEAT shots right where I want them too. :smith:

Projectiles firing out of the camera will feel weird, but it'll make it so much more goddamn easy to actually hit dudes running around on a flat field while using the Magrider's main gun.

Plus, you know, actually being able to shoot over pebbles and the like will also be swell.

Yeah I was thinking of what it would look like. I would spot sometimes to pick a weaker target or to flash enemy hitpoints to friendlies. Now all we'll see out of shotgun range are doritos. It's going to feel wierd not knowing who to pick off. I wonder if name is included with the hitpoint bar?

The health bar change is a HUGE change. Huh.

I am loving the camera originating vehicle projectiles change. Gonna have to relearn how to airshot skygods a bit with my Vanguard, won't take more than a week. TR and VS have already been :qq: big time about the Reaver being "OP" now that you won't have stupid convergence bullshit causing you to miss shots. :getin:

E: Also I wanna weigh in that while the Gauss SAW owns, I've switched to exclusively using the GD22S because I generally engage at mid/close range with HA. It's like having a beefy assault rifle on Heavy. Also gonna retire my Phoenix for a bit while I give the Crow (G2G) a shot.

So all of a sudden PS2 is literally unplayable. There's a 50% chance I make it past the initial load, and a 0% chance I can pick a server. Every time I verify the integrity of the game cache, 9 files are unaccounted for. After steam re-downloads them, I get a small 40mb~ patch through the launcher and the game won't run again. I'm guessing whatever Planetside is downloading is the culprit, but I have no clue what it could be. I tried re-installing, and that didn't fix it.

Welcome to Mattherson: Night Crew. It's Vanu all the way down until like 9am. Depending on the mood of the playerbase, it could still tilt towards Vanu even going to 1pm, but it's usually not bad enough that you have to quit due to a complete lack of any potential progress.

Yeah it was fun leading the NC platoon for a while, we didn't end up stopping the VS from getting the triple cont lock but dammit we made a fight of it. We had to be out numbered at least 5:1. Still had a lot of fun gunning in Fuzz's harasser and Ghaskulls vannie.

Implants in PS1 were things you could equip on your character to give them additional abilities. Stuff like enhanced hearing, silent footsteps, stronger melee (still not OHK in PS1), and a vision toggle that would reveal infiltrators but cap your visible range to like 20 meters. They were in PS2 alpha (not in any concrete form, it's actually where boosts were going) but removed.

That makes a good deal of sense, really though I cant phantom playing without knowing damage of vehicles in view. Knowing if that lock-on rocket is going to finish them or just piss them off is pretty important for my meager existence. The joy of knowing who to pick off with my engineer scout rifle will be a thing of the past as well ... :(

From what i've been seeing on this thread you shouldn't use the steam file verification thing, use the SOE laucher one. (and disable the auto-check on steam)
There must be some minor diference between the build that SOE gives to steam and the SOE one and if you verify with steam it messes up the files.

VVV - Amazing how-to, much better than my words salad :D
