I thought you daredevils might enjoy this. Seems there's a new bug to be enjoyed... Those little wall things they added for cover make great Vanguard ramps apparently.

Thanks you!

Hopefully soon my screenshot taking obsession will serve some purpose other than wasting bandwidth and storage from the friendly people who host me.

yay, AGN forever!! (http://www.planetside-universe.com/files/bin/agn/agn_wally.jpg)

Dude on Emerald about two days back there was this ANT flying through the air, it took off from a TR controlled base while we ( NC) were storming it. The damn thing flew up to max height and stayed there for the duration of my time there. Just sat up there. Friggin aliens.

Isn't that the autodrive bug that makes the Vanguards flip over the walkway or something?

ya it is, you end up auto-driving into those new cover walls, have your tank go 50' in the air, crash down with a good chunk of its health gone....
Then you get control of the vech :lol:

it happens in drop ship centers a bit

how do you get it to cloak like that?:confused:

:lol: They do need to fix the stealth bug (works on all empires though.. but I must admit, I see 2-3 NC to every TR and VS that I see using it)
Ran into a stealth magrider the other day, now that was evil!
Running me over when he was invs... argh :p

im not asking who uses it
im asking how do you use it?

Lonehunter

I'm curious too. How do you use it?

BladeRunner

Why don't you find out in the patch notes right before they take it out, so we don't have more exploiters?

I've only seen that one 3 or 4 times.. There's a screenshot of it in my gallery too. All the instances that I saw it were accidental on the user's part.

I don't believe it's an exploit you can duplicate. I may be mistaken. Everytime this has happened to me. Servers were laggin pretty bad. Raight after i took this screen. I went down stairs to rekit. As i went threw the door i lagged abit. After rekitting i start to make my way upthe stairs when i was all of a sudden sniped. Curious about this i didn't respawn right away. I wanted to see if it was a stealthed sniper inside. I saw nothing. All i can assume is that when i lagged out is when i was actually shot. I get clipped in towers around multiple corners aswell. To me though. It feels like netcode. :rolleyes:

BTW my sister has the same cat in grey.

The cloak bug is VERY easily reproduced and I've sent in a number of bug reports.

Yep, no one should tell people how to use exploits in a game like this.

If you listen close enough you can hear those vanguard drivers yelling "OOOOHHH Crapp!!"

Triffid
2003-06-16, 10:02 PM
This is an amusing thread. :) Of course, you'd probably here the drivers saying, "I told you to fix that dang accelerator!" It shows how junky those things are. Nah, I'm jk.

Kudos to you BladeRunner, those are some fantastic screenshots. I laughed out loud. :D It made my day to see a flying Vanguard.

Now all we need is a Vanguard symbol in the sky...
