Holy poo poo! I'm top of the PS4 leaderboard in something! It's just support per minute, but damnit, I've always said I'm not the best at shooting mans, but I'll follow you and repair your vehicle, or I'll throw you health and ammo loving constantly.

Dec 5 PS4 Game Update Notes -Fixed the "one-hit kill" bug where damage from a single bullet sometimes was applied multiple times. This could lead to firefights where normal rifles sometimes dealt one-shot kills, which is not as designed. -Fixed a crash that could occur when having a very large amounts of Friends -Enabled audio in PS4 video captures Hopefully this reduces the crashing? But who knows, I only have 50-60 friends I think so I don't think the "very large amount" would be that low. e:f,b a foolish pianist posted:Hang out near engineers and toss them ammo bags they'll Fixed that to reflect personal experience.

Ugh, I was debating getting premium today, since it's payday, but I think this pushes me over the top. I just want the double XP so I can finish out my Recon kit. Got the rest of them done with the week long double. Only need 5 or 6 more gadgets to finish it off. Don't know how much I'll use it, since I've got C4 on the Support. But I miss MAV'ing it up.

As always, I'm all about non-killing actions. If you see me as a recon, pack whatever tracking explosive delivery mechanism you want cuz I'll be marking poo poo constantly. It was frustrating as hell when I was playing with pubbies last night and had boats, LAVs, planes, and helicopters all lit up all over Parcel and no one was shooting at them. I finally gave up and just started spotting people instead of vehicles. Still managed to get into the top 10 on my team just from spot bonuses.

^^^ I don't even have the TUGS yet Annnd, yeah. Just bought premium, downloading china rising now. Got to use my $10 PSN credit that came with the ps4, so that made it an easier decision as well. And it's my birthday tomorrow, so this is a present to myself. Anyone want a pre-order CR code, let me know. I have no use for mine now and would rather give it away since it's not a loss of money for me since I didn't pay extra for it.

SCOTLAND posted:Anyone else having problems with the xp boosters? I had 20 or so disappear overnight. I was surprised today to notice they were grouped. Instead of seeing a long list of x50's I saw one with the number I had beside it. If you blow up a claymore with the mav and kill someone, does it count as a mav kill? I also confirmed you can kill with the mav directly, but just once and it destroys the mav in the process.

Found another thing that is stupid as hell. Apparently the game doesn't track your spot assists. I've been spotting poo poo with the MAV constantly, but nowhere on battlelog or on the bf4stats does it show any spot assists. It actually shows 0 spot assists on bf4stats. Completely ignoring my 156 spotting ribbons, which means I have at least 624 spot assists. Minor annoyance really, but I keep checking my SAM and they were lower than I thought they should be, now I know why at least. Ah well, I'll keep spotting for y'all. Oh, and if we're in a game together, if you could be so kind as to throw down an ammo pack near me (but not right next to me, sometimes I exit the MAV and don't want to lose it) that'd be awesome

Well, I installed the patch, and then played a complete (and quite enjoyable tbh) round in the Locker with no crashing. Technically at work right now and one round doesn't really count for much. I'll be getting on again later, around 4pm PST for more thorough testing.

Hey Beelz quick question. Is there a way to see which goons tags we've taken? I remember for bf3 we could hover over the tags number and it would show us the goons we've taken. I know I got BackupSnacks last night, and I'd also like a place to check to make sure Seedge still doesn't have mine.

I've always referred to them as murder boats, and yeah they can be pretty ridiculous with a good group on them. Usually when sending friend requests, I'll include a message saying I'm a goon.

So in reality it only takes 4 goons, not 5, to turn the tides. You keep selling yourself short. Most of my matches I get 3 or less kills and capture maybe one or two flags. I've heard (and watched) you dropping ammo, health, etc... You're doing more than most pubbies even if it's not all in kills.

Mavlaming gives a whole new, wonderful, meaning to "make it rain". I love watching a tank or lav being destroyed before I even finish calling out what I have marked. Dual mavlavs on the railway is insane.

Lowtax posted:I don't know, there's something inherently funny about the fishy flier. It's this slow, stupid, ugly bunch of radio shack parts glued together, but nobody can seem to ever take it down or realize it's responsible for their entire team getting lit up. I just wish more team members were engineers with the laser guided rocket launchers, because armor I lock on to seldomly gets killed by them. Don't know if you've noticed, but the mav is also sort of immune to stingers, iglas, and jet/helicopter/aa heat seekers. I've taken 6 shots from a murder boat and just kept staring at it till my squad blew it up. Though, if someone locks onto your mav and their teammate fires off a javelin, that will take it out. Bullets work too, but getting hit by them is rare.

Bruc posted:MAVFLAM is amazing though, in fact even if/when they nerf it I am glad it at least got me to try out the MAV because the thing is really amazing. You can keep practically the entire team spotted at all times on some levels and gently caress over every roof camping sniper by destroying their beacons, and keep the whole level clear of mines/slams (and often kill enemies with their own mines). It's like a more interesting/useful/rewarding version of playing as commander even without the SOFLAM part of it. You can also push snipers off their roofs, sometimes you'll get a roadkill out of it, though it'll kill the mav in the process. Divertwig's spotting and shoving, at your service.

DeathSandwich posted:If your aim is good, you can detonate C4/SLAMs on enemy jihad jeeps and is a great way to make you feel all The best is when you hit the C4/SLAMs right as the person is putting them on their jihad jeep/quad. I've done that a few times and it always gives me a feeling of "Not in my house, bitch!" Had a guy try that multiple times once on Rogue. Killed him 3 times before he got smart(ish) and stopped trying. I love my MAV. Even if they nerf it and take away MAVLAMing it's still the best way I have to support my team. Repairing tanks and helo's is a solid 2nd. But heals and ammo aren't as fruitful due to people running away from med packs and ammo boxes that I throw at them.

Samswing posted:How exactly do you do this? Is it a function of the SOFLAM or do you just ram the equipment with the MAV? The MAV has a little emp thing that it fires. You can use it to detonate explosives, TUGS, spawn beacons, etc... No SOFLAM required. It will even lock on to TUGS, beacons and such. Blowing up equipment also counts as vehicle destroys. It's how I got my anti-vehicle medal. It's extremely useful on high sniper location maps like rogue transmission or dawnbreaker or flood zone. Fly up high where the snipers are hanging out on buildings, blow up their spawn beacons and then you can use the mav to push them off the edge and clear the roofs. Blowing up explosives just requires good aim with it. It's harder sometimes when the explosives are planted on the side of a crater or something and might take a few shots. I think the thing takes something like 10 seconds to reload between shots, and you only get one shot at a time. For the ps4, R2 is the fire button, just like everything else.

Santheb posted:I seem to have this problem whenever I'm playing unless it's the wee hours of the morning. It's enormously frustrating. I'll get halfway or even like 95% done with the match and people will start running in place and bullets don't register and then boom. Connection drops. Bogus. For the goons in EST (look at me, usin' the stats site like a good boy) there's usually something going from about 4pm until 11 or 12pm. If you want to play with Euro or West Coast goons, adjust time as necessary. Basically... "evenings" is when there'll be a party going, and it's pretty much that for each time zone.

Kukash posted:How do you get MAV kills? Just pushing people? In addition to blowing up c4/claymores/mines and getting the kill that way, you can still get roadkills with the MAV by running into people. I've only done it 3 times so far and I have no idea how. Each time I was just trying to shove a sniper off a roof. It blows the MAV up when you do that though.
