Mercury_Storm posted:I noticed there is a not insignificant delay on looking around if you have even 30FPS. You move the mouse, and then you look in that direction after the delay, which is hugely debilitating in a game that requires reflexes and accuracy. Did this always happen, and is there a way to fix it? Their performance enhancements did exactly jack poo poo and the game takes even longer to load now. I have everything set to low already with shadows off, and I don't remember it being this bad. If you have an NVIDIA card right click your desktop -> NVIDIA control panel -> manage 3D settings, click the 'program settings' tab, then find Planetside 2 in the list or add planetside2_x86.exe/planetside2_x64.exe as appropriate. Set 'Maximum pre-rendered frames' to 1 and hit apply and restart planetside and it should fix the mouse lag. Not sure what this option is called with ATI/AMD cards but I assume they have a similar setting. (And if you have an NVIDIA card try out the GeForce Experience optimal settings feature, it works pretty well).

Then why does the Magrider kill more vehicles with all guns? My original point is that being good at 1v1 is good for harvesting tears but not much else. That's a whole lot of fun anecdotes and opinions and all but the relevant data has been posted already, please address it at least passingly if you're wishing to make bold assertions in tank performance edit - and of course my ORIGINAL ORIGINAL point was that the PPA/C85/Marauder balance needs addressing. I only mentioned the Magrider itself to preempt the "LOL BUT MAGRIDER BAD SO PPA MUST BE OP" convoluted and baseless strawman argument that this usually spawns, which unfortunately did not work.

Nakar posted:I'm not sure why the SABR isn't the same way, probably because the SABR is a legit weapon for non-scripters and so people use it normally which drags the numbers down to reasonable levels. Some BWC guy on Reddit started arguing that the SABR is a terrible gun cause of its burst mechanics and it shooting too slow and doing too little damage. Also that the Reaper and Tross are terrible but all three would be "good" if their damage falloff started at 70m.

The Magrider has it's faults, but insisting that GOKU doesn't pull them to counter armor as proof is like suggesting that QRY aren't really spergs because you saw one on the ground once.

If those tank stats are pulled from the very beginning of the game - they are not telling the truth. The average NC player can't be that loving stupid, right? Then again, I have seen entire 14 tank columns of vanguards not even making it out of the base they were spawed at. Or the time I ambushed a tank platoon, not once, but twice in an ap prowler and killed like 8 of them each time. That's no fault of the vanguard mind you, it's more of the 666 Devil Dogs being hilariously inept.

Epic High Five posted:Yeah you've gotta ignore the top and bottom pretty much, unless they've got a big user base. I did enjoy seeing how the 3 new ARs settled into line with relative usefulness. The Terminus is the best AR for the VS, hands down, so it's #1. The TORQ is a bullshit powerful gun in a lineup of bullshit powerful guns, and thus is only #2, the Tross is viewed as a niche sidegrade to the (admittedly excellent) Reaper so there's no real NEED to use it, and thus it is #3. Because KPU is a complete poo poo metric that has zero correlation to balance.

If the question is purely how the Magrider kills more vehicles the answer is simple: It has an easier time keeping up with Harrassers, Sunderers and Lightnings who don't have or rely on raw firepower like MBTs. Basically it's in the weird place between support vehicles and tanks.

The reason the Vanguard shows up on the low end of stats is because of its long reload. It's very easy in that window for something like a lock-on rocket, a Basilisk, a Reaver, a Lightning, etc to steal a kill. It's also why the Vanguard has poor man farming stats; sure, you can take off 90% of a guy's health with a near HEAT miss, then a random pistol picks him off. If they wanted to bring the Vanguard up to par statistically with its primary weapons they'd need to buff it's reload speed. They wouldn't nerf it's damage of course because  It's also why the Prowlers is so high by comparison, it's got two shots so it generally finishes off its kills.

I have an ATI card, and found a similar value to change called Flip Queue Size, changeable in a program called Radeon Pro. I changed it to 1 and that seems to have reduced or eliminated the aiming lag.

Any vehicle that's not VS's stats will always be skewed for one simple reason: Lancer Nests. As long as a Lancer nest can completely obliterate armor at ranges it can't be rendered at, any attempt at armor by the other side will always fail, Magrider or not. Let the Mag be a total joke. HAs are loving everywhere, and it's easy as poo poo for them to lug a Lancer around. It's hard as gently caress to escape a Lancer nest on most continents that are not Hossin, on the other hand. VS have nothing to complain about. TR (and NC, to a lesser degree... Phoenix is good, but it has a VERY short range limit) WISH they had something like that. Then again, gently caress TR.

People display this bias when they gather or remember information selectively, or when they interpret it in a biased way. The effect is stronger for emotionally charged issues and for deeply entrenched beliefs. Find me pubs or non-mlg outfits who use lancer nests. Oh wait there aren't any. That's why TR and NC armor zergs usually work until GOKU shows up.  buff the carv

All it does it let you project your bias onto the data with the pretense of accuracy. According to KPU the Orion, Carv and Saw are all poo poo. More to your point, Fuzz isn't far off. The Lancer is the best ES AV in the game, hands down. You could argue that the striker, or Phoenix one shoting infantry were better in their heyday. But right now the Lancer is the best AV weapon in the game. It almost obsoletes every vehicle in the game.

Pheonix: Double the range limit, improve handling, lower damage even further against infantry, and make it incapable of shooting through spawn shields. All rockets need a heavy nerf against infantry though; Any one-hit kills are a lovely and unfun game mechanic.

Goons say that the best way to use the prowler is to brawl with it, even though it (anchored) is the best at range and is the weakest up close compared to the nimble magrider or durable vanguard. Reading about MBT stuff here is pretty sketchy.Desideratus posted:All rockets need a heavy nerf against infantry though; Any one-hit kills are a lovely and unfun game mechanic. Also AT and AP mines need to be nerfed for the same reason. They should provide an AOE debuff mechanic similar to an EMP or conc grenade and not free kills.

Nakar posted:Oh God please give me Conc Mines. It'd be like trading one free kill for five! It'd be five free kills that you were actively involved in, is the difference. That's way more legit than one free kill as a result of you clicking the LMB once someplace 15 minutes ago and then redeplyoing across continent. Mines which reward preparation and a good defensive/ambush setup would be way cooler for gameplay than mines which give random free kills to people who were entirely uninvolved in their detonation.

For every tank you blow up with an AT mine, thats one less shitter sitting outside of a base doing gently caress all but spamming mouse 1 at a spawn room building. Just think of that next time you have a moral dilemma about how honorable laying mines are.

Desideratus posted:Even Hossin isn't safe, when we realized they might be able to duck away, we started calling targets and volley firing to insta-kill them I entirely agree the lancer is the best and that its entirely under utilized. If they ever changed rockets to be faster so they go further then it would solve some of the problem that the other 2 factions face since you can use dumb fires more accurately and at greater range. Striker should turn into basically a fracture with some coyote mechanics which is basically flak mechanics. The phoenix should be pushed to 450m but dropped down in damage. Lets be honest the best way to fix the current ESL's would be to add loving variants or some sort of ammo mechanic. A striker that could lock on to 550m but did basically 800 damage if all missiles hit or a phoenix that had 450m range but did 1/3rd of the damage. Change the current lancer to the weaker long range variant but dropping some of its damage then add another variant that had 400m range with a 3 round mag but did decimator damage when fully charged up. gently caress just bring back PS1 poo poo already, inventory and droppable weapons. A ton of different variants of all the guns allowing you to min/max as you pleased.

Do you think they can be fired more than once every 10 seconds or something? I'm legitimately curious. Just imagine being able to completely destroy all sundys within a 450m radius, 4 dudes could easily out DPS the repair reps--good NC outfits would never lose a base. A good example is crossroads, from the middle of almost any air pad you can hit a sundy behind C/B. If you just got 5 dudes to do it at the same time you can basically alpha any sundy attacking crossroads destroying any attempt to take it. If you had 450m range you could shoot from the middle of the tower by A and fly out a window then reach those sundys and theres not a drat thing anyone could do about it. Lancers are great for taking out sundys but all it takes is having 2 sundys and now that lancer squad needs to relocate where a 450m powerful phoenix would just sit in the middle of a base destroying every sundy again and again. Make it like the lancer so 6+ dedicated phoenix users would be able to destroy undefended sundys but it would be a challenge if someone started repairing it. I'm all for making the phoenix awesome and fun same with the striker.
